Yang Xinyu opened her eyes wide, "If the original owner comes back, wouldn't I be kicked out?"

She had initially thought that the Ephor Gu was a good person, so how could he sell her such a shabby house?

The Madame Wang explained, "Girl, don't worry. Even if the master returns, the Ephor Gu will retrieve the land deed from his hands and not chase you out. "The law of the Northern Empire states that if no one lives after leaving the family for more than two years, the family will be confiscated. Since you bought this house, it will be yours."

Yang Xinyu heaved a sigh of relief, and said, "Big sister, you sure know a lot. In the future, I will need you to take care of me in any way that I don't."

The Madame Wang laughed, "Girl, don't say that. Isn't it natural for the two of us to take good care of each other? The next time you want to go to the county town, we can go together. This way, we can take care of each other. "

After chatting for a while longer, they finally arrived at the county town.

Without saying a word, Yang Xinyu paid the driver.

Thus, the Uncle Lee set her down in front of the medicine store and drove away in the oxcart.

Yang Xinyu raised her head and saw that there were four big words written on the medicine shop's signboard.

But before she could enter, she was met with a disdainful glare from the medicine boy, "Go, go! What are you looking at?" If you don't want to buy medicine, then go away! "

Yang Xinyu leisurely pulled open a corner of the basket, and said: "So, you guys are not taking in fresh silver ears?"

The medicine boy's eyes opened wider than a copper bell and his expression quickly changed, "Accept! Miss, quickly follow me!"

The medicine boy led Yang Xinyu into the medicine store and immediately whispered something into the shopkeeper's ears. Then, the shopkeeper's face broke into a smile and said, "Young lady, I heard that you have fresh silver ears?"

His words were directed at Yang Xinyu, but her eyes were glued to the basket, wishing that she could see through a hole in it.

Yang Xinyu did not keep him in suspense, she took the rag and passed it to him, "Look at the display case, how much silver do you want for this Silver Ear?"

The manager lowered his head to look, but his eyes were unable to move.

This was a top-grade Silver Ear. This color and texture, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it the highest quality.

"Manager?" Yang Xinyu waved in front of him.

The shopkeeper came back to his senses, "This Silver Ear, I'll give you this amount!"

As he spoke, he raised three of his fingers, looking very magnanimous.

Yang Xinyu asked, "Thirty silver?"

The shopkeeper's eyes immediately widened as he scolded, "It's three taels of silver. How can this silver ear be worth that much?"

On the way, Yang Xinyu heard from the Madame Wang that there were two medicine stores in the county. She smiled slightly and said amiably, "Really? "Then I won't sell it, I'll go to the Return of Spring Hall."

The shopkeeper saw that Yang Xinyu's clothes were tattered and thought that she was someone who did not know what was good for her. Unexpectedly, she actually said such a thing, scaring him, and said, "Ai! Wait a moment! "

Yang Xinyu, however, did not stop in her tracks because of his words.

The shopkeeper became extremely anxious and immediately said, "This is a fresh silver ear, I'll take twelve taels of silver for the big one!" I will take ten taels of silver. What do you think? "

Twelve taels of silver? It was actually two taels of silver more than Yang Xinyu had expected.

Satisfied, she turned her head and said, "Alright then. Shopkeeper, you are not allowed to go back on your word."

"I won't go back on my word, I won't go back on my word!" The shopkeeper smiled apologetically, feeling extremely pained.

These silver ears were at least worth seven to eight silver taels, and he had lost over eighty silver taels in an instant!

He continued, "San-er, why don't you go get the scale and weigh the girl."

The errand boy hurriedly brought over a weighing scale and placed all the silver earrings of different sizes into one. The bigger one was five taels while the smaller one was two. They were exactly seven taels. That was exactly eighty taels of silver!

After passing the silver to Yang Xinyu, the shopkeeper said unwillingly, "Young lady, I have calculated it clearly this time. If you still have Silver Ear, don't forget to come back to me next time. As long as Silver Ear is good, the price will not be low. "

That was eighty taels of silver!

When he held the heavy silver in his arms, he didn't feel any real feeling, it was as if he was dreaming.

Yang Xinyu didn't even know when she came out of the medicine hall, what she bought, how she got on the ox-cart, and how she got home.

In short, she was shocked by Hee Zijun's words, "Sister, what happened to you? How come you seem to be out of your mind after making a trip to the county city? "

"I... I earned eighty silver taels selling silver ears today! " Yang Xinyu was afraid that others would hear him, so she lowered her voice.

But in reality, other than Hee Zijun, who else could it be?

"Eight …" Eighty silver! " Hee Zijun stuttered, he even forgot to change his title, "Wu … Fifth Sister-in-law, you aren't lying to me right? "

Yang Xinyu was not very sure at first, but she was suddenly amused, "Stupid Younger Brother, why did you call me Fifth Sister-in-law again? How could I lie to you? It's really eighty silver. "

As she said this, she remembered, "Oh right, I also bought quite a few things today. Can you guess what I bought?"

Hee Zijun was afraid that Yang Xinyu would spend too much money, hence he frowned, "Ah'jie, with this silver, why don't we save it and build a house?"

Yang Xinyu unhappily swept him with a glance, "Foolish Younger Brother, can I still spend eighty silver taels in one go?"

As she said this, she opened the basket and saw that it was filled to the brim with five kilograms of thick flour, five kilograms of thick rice, ten kilograms of fine rice, and the rest were all small porcelain bottles.

It just so happened that they had finished eating all the coarse rice at home, leaving behind only half a kilogram of food, which was enough for tonight's meal. If Yang Xinyu didn't buy some, they would starve in the morning.

However, Oil Lamp had forgotten about it in the end.

Hee Zijun was startled, his face flushed red: "Sorry Ah Sis, I misunderstood you."

The truth was that day in Lin An County, Yang Xinyu insisted on buying each piece of cloth with 500 gold coins. This frightened him, so he reflexively thought that Yang Xinyu would just randomly spend money.

Yang Xinyu said excitedly, "Before the two of us, what's there to be sorry about? I haven't even touched a single cent of the eighty silver, leave it here with me. In a few days, I'll go to Ephor Gu to buy a few acres of land.

"I didn't expect Silver Ear to be so valuable." Hee Zijun said blankly.

Fifth brother had also sold Silver Ear before, but the silver money he brought back was not even a tenth of it, he must have stolen it for the Madame Hee-zhou.

Yang Xinyu laughed, "Of course it's worth it, let me take the medicine showcase at the Exquisite Hand Medicine Hall. I'll give it to him next time after I pick it!"

Hearing that, a string snapped in Hee Zijun's heart, "What? Fifth Sister-in-law, you still want to go to the Back Mountain? "No way, you have to bring me along if you want to go."

Yang Xinyu could tell that this child would call her Fifth Sister-in-law whenever he got nervous.

She rubbed Hee Zijun's cheeks with all her might and said, "Then I'm not going anymore."

Bringing Hee Zijun to the Back Mountain was too dangerous after all; He could only protect himself, because even if he met a wild beast, she wouldn't be able to protect Hee Zijun.
