Yang Zixuan remembered that it was his own teacher and also Mu Rousang's godfather, so he said: "Xiao Tong, you go down and prepare yourself. The present is even heavier than the previous ones, and I remember that other than the top-grade Snow Lotuses and Winter Worm Summer Grass that you left for Xiao Sangsang, there are also some other things on the account.
"Got it!" Xiao Tong helped him pack and went down to help.
Yang Zixuan found his way to the backyard, only to see the man sitting leisurely on a cold chair, waving a fan in one hand and a cup of tea in the other, looking at Mu Jinzhi playing with the sword: "Tsk, tsk, no wonder the little cousin was lost on the streets back then, you don't seem to be as anxious as the others."
"Whoosh!" Mu Jinzhi swung his Wandering Dragon Sword and sliced off the upper part of the paper fan, leaving only the light in Zuo Ren Xian's hands, causing him to be stupefied.
"Jin Zhi, I heard from Xiao Tong that you were looking for me?"
"Big brother Yang, you're here!" Mu Jinzhi ignored the dazed Zuo Ren Xian, and took the cloth from the servant to wipe his sweat.
"Come sit down and have a cup of green tea. It's my sister's tea made from wild chrysanthemums."
"Brother Jin, that fan was something from the previous dynasty."
"It's a deal!" Zuo Ren Xian walked over with a smile.
Mu Jinzhi brewed three cups of tea, carried one cup to him, and said: "I have long disliked that worn-out fan, it's not like it's some famous scholar's poem, I can just cut it, when I go back to work on my sister's furniture, I will use some side materials to make more for you, it's enough for you to show off."
"Thank you, Brother Jin. You are a man who doesn't know how to live without hunger, your poor cousin is a pauper ah. Even now, you don't say you're a rich man, but you've become one who owes him a debt."
When the other two heard his obvious complaint, they were speechless. Was there such a person? Obviously, everyone had borrowed money to help him, but when the lichen caught fire, he would have quite a few houses built with it. This time, he would not even need to pay back the money he had earned, he would earn tens of thousands of taels of Snowflake Silver for nothing.
Yang Zixuan coughed lightly, he could not be bothered with this fellow, and turned to ask Mu Jinzhi: "Are you discussing going to the Xiangyang today?"
Mu Jinzhi said with some difficulty: "En, big brother Yang, let me be frank with you, but I think you must know who caused my sister's heart disease. Now that the Second Sister's wedding day is approaching, my sister will definitely go, but at that time, big brother Yang … …"
Mu Jinzhi sighed: "It's fortunate that big brother Yang is magnanimous. My sister's character, sigh, perhaps has something to do with her bitter experiences as a child, and is a little too strong."
All the sons of rich families, who could escape the maid that their elders sent over, would naturally have to act as an aunt if they had a son.
After slightly muttering to himself, Yang Zixuan smiled and said: "Jin Jin, I'm not afraid of you making fun of me. My mother left early because of the underhanded methods at the back of the house. If the two of you accept a concubine, then you must also pay attention to balancing the back house.
Zuo Ren was born in a wealthy village, so he yearned to have a man hug him from the left and right. When he heard Yang Zixuan's words, it immediately extinguished the fiery dream that was in his heart.
"Let's not talk about that anymore, the harem is always under the direct control of my wife, my mother is doing pretty well." Forget about that, the harem is under the direct control of my wife, my mother is doing pretty well, my sisters are also under the guidance of the upbringing aunt.
Yang Zixuan did not say much after hearing this.
There were no elders in Mu Jinzhi's home, and he was in a simple sect, so he did not have much feelings for Mu Jinzhi.
Yang Zixuan also explained his own plan. After Mu Jinzhi heard this, he said: "The last time big sister was betrothed to me, my family wasn't as prosperous as they are now. Later on, when cousin was betrothed to me, it was only at the same level as her.
His family had several hundred thousand taels of silver on hand. If he were to take out another two hundred silver taels, he might not be able to afford it.
"How hard would that be? Just ask Xiao Sangsang, she should have discussed this with the second young mistress of the Wei family." Yang Zixuan remembered that before he left the capital, he went to see Wei Ping.
Mu Jinzhi slapped his forehead and said, "That's right, before you left for the Western Regions, I had told her about this matter, but I was too busy to remember it."
He immediately called Shi Shu over to give him some instructions, and then sent him off to ask Mu Rousang.
Mu Rousang was busy in the kitchen rubbing round pills. Cough, this was even given to him by Yang Zixuan when she sent the letter of appointment, but she said later that she had eaten it the next morning and had forgotten about it.
Shi Shu found her in the kitchen and explained his purpose for coming here.
"Make up? Oh, I'm ready, why don't you go back to my brother like this, one set for a hundred years, one set for a golden head, one set for a golden head, two sets for a pearl head, one set for a red coral head, one set for a golden bracelet, eight pieces for a wild cat, two for a yak, one for a hundred years wild ginseng, eight pieces for a sheepskin, eighty pieces for a rabbit, and one for the previous dynasty calligraphy. "
She tilted her head and thought for a moment. "These are the Make up's items. Also, how many silver ingots do you want to seal? I need to ask my brother's opinion."
Even if these Make up did not have a thousand silver taels, they were at least eight hundred. Shi Shu hurriedly recorded it down and went to find Mu Jinzhi to recount it again, only to hear Zuo Ren Xian clucked his tongue on the side. He pulled on Mu Jinzhi's arm and said in a spoiled manner: "Brother Jin, look at how generous little cousin is.
"Do you want the Make up?"
"Hehe, about that, I only want to seal the silver!" Zuo Ren Xian had suffered a loss once, so he shook his head and refused.
"Got it, I'll give you a big ingot later." Mu Jinzhi wanted to tease him.
"Ah, no!" Zuo Ren Xian's face turned bitter.
Xiao Tong laughed from the side: "Cousin, don't worry, our Young Mistress will be the greatest master in the future. You just have to rest easy.
"Well said, Jinzhi, this time you have to be at ease. Just say when you've decided to set off." Yang Zixuan had already left the capital for more than half a year, and the day of the holiday was drawing near.
Mu Jinzhi asked: "Is Big brother Yang planning to return to the capital?"
"That's right, after we go and drink the wedding wine, I want to go to the capital. Xiao Sangsang wants to start an embroidery workshop in the capital, so when I return, I have to give her a slap on the face. If there's anything suitable, I can help her buy it first."
"Oh right, I've always forgotten to ask Big Brother Yang. Is the capital's shop expensive?" With more than 200,000 silver in notes in his possession, Mu Jinzhi was twice as confident as he was when it came to asking questions.
Yang Zixuan laughed: Xiao Sangsang has already sent people to sue me in private, I cannot accept your banknotes, she said that if he does not take out her banknotes, he will keep them for free, it would be cheaper to buy them than to sell them at a shop.
Mu Jinzhi did indeed have such a plan, he had already calculated it to the limit and was prepared to use two hundred thousand to make Mu Rousang's dowry and the remaining eighty thousand silver to marry and have his children.
The most expensive and the cheapest are in the tens of thousands of rooms, while the cheapest are in the tens of thousands of gold. Xiao Sangsang intends to set up shop in the west side of the city, where many merchants will have money, and not go head to head with the officials.
Yang Zixuan knew that Mu Rousang had earned a lot in the past few years, and also knew that this was for her dowry, so she naturally did not dare to add more silver.
"Ah?" So expensive? " Mu Jinzhi was immediately speechless. Just a moment ago, he was overbearing and high-spirited, preparing the dowry, who knew that this shop would be so expensive.
Yang Zixuan then said: "Jin'i, do you consider taking a room in the capital? At the end of the year, if Uncle Zuo really returns to the capital to report on his work, he will have to leave Sichuan this winter. "
Mu Jinzhi immediately understood and said: "Of course I want to buy a yard, it would be best if it's a bigger one. In the future, little sister will have to go through the main entrance and get married."
"The yard over there is only to look at the location and construction cost. Some of them are not cheaper than Pu Zi, so they would need at least a few hundred thousand taels of silver. Of course, there are those that are worth at least a million taels of silver." Yang Zixuan said slowly.
Mu Jinzhi was at a loss. He wanted Mu Rousang to marry from his own home and at the same time, prepare some dowry for her.
Yang Zixuan saw that his expression was unsettled, and said: "Your family's pickled vegetables are very popular in the Western Regions, why not stay for a few more years, and transport them to the Western Regions for a trip this winter, then we will be able to earn a lot."
He wanted to help Mu Jinzhi out, so he took a share of the pickled vegetables and gave it to the big tribes and those noble families, as well as some travelling merchants, knowing that these people were travelling even further to the Western Regions or even to the Persian Kingdom.
"In this way, we won't be able to beat the eyes of the people, and won't be able to compete with the noble families of the Great Zhou for benefits." Yang Zixuan was born in a noble house, so how could he not know the dirty twists and turns inside?
"Thank you, Big Brother Yang. May I know the price of the land in the outskirts of the capital? I'm going to add another farm or two to my sister's. " felt that two hundred thousand silver was really not enough to use.
"Suburbs?" Don't even think about the fattening fields under the feet of the imperial city. Those fattening fields are mostly owned by the imperial family, or they were awarded to noble families that have made great contributions towards them. The farther away fields are 25 silver per mu, and the farther ones that are out of the boundaries of the imperial city are 25 silver per mu. "
