This was the first time that Li Yanqing heard his wife ask for his help, so he asked with a smile: "Tell me, what do you need me to help?"

"That's right. Tangyuaner came to me this morning. She wanted to buy a few residential land, but there were too many people in line. She was afraid that she would not get the good location. She could decide from the inside first."

"Wait a little!"

Li Yanqing hurriedly called Cao Yun, "Who will Tangyuan buy land for? The Wang family also bought hundreds of acres of good land in Qiantang County. They have no shortage of land!"

"It seems that Alu's parents wanted to buy it. After she begged the dumplings, the dumplings turned around and found them on my head."

Aluo was Wang Gui's concubine, from Taiyuan Mansion, and gave birth to a daughter for Wang Gui. Li Yanqing understood as soon as he heard this. It must be Tang Yuaner who was petty again. He didn't want to sell Wang's land to Alu's parents, so he had the idea of ​​Beicheng.

At this time, Zhao Jinluo, who was drinking tea on the side, suddenly asked, "Is there any land sold in the city now?"

These days, Zhao Jinluo has been inquiring about the land everywhere in the city. Although the court would build a house for the prince-consort for them, Zhao Jinluo still wanted to build a ten-acre private house. She didn't want to buy the land of the Cao family, but after asking for it for a few days, she found nothing.

Li Yanqing waved his hand, "This is the land where the government sells civilian houses. In the northernmost Huantang River, each household can only buy three acres at most, and it has nothing to do with you. I have promised to help you solve your land, don't worry!"

"How can I not be in a hurry! It has been a few days since then. You don't care at all. Are you my brother-in-law?"

Everyone was used to Zhao Jinluo's big mouth, and everyone looked at Li Yanqing and smiled without saying a word. Li Yanqing had no choice but to smile bitterly: "The Xiang family has a house with a different place, covering exactly ten acres, and is also close to the West Lake. The government price is 5,000 taels of silver. It was originally the official house for me, so I will give it to you!"

Zhao Jinluo was overjoyed, "You live in a ten-acre official house, it's too small. It's just right to sell it to me. I'll go and hang the plaque first, and I'll give you silver later."

"You can go anytime, I've taken down the house."

Cao Yun next to him asked again: "Official, is the matter you asked just now okay? If it is a favor, please help her. If it is a troublesome, forget it."

"Of course it's not trouble, but how many acres do they want to buy?"

"It seems like I want to buy three acres!"

Li Yanqing nodded, "I'll say hello to Magistrate Wei, just ask Tangyuaner to go directly to the county government to report my name."

"Will this affect the reputation of the officials?"

"This kind of small thing can't be said to affect her reputation. It's not for her for free, but just to get a team."

At this time, Hu Qing'er smiled and said, "Since it is profitable, let's buy some land, build a house and rent it out to make money!"

Before Li Yanqing could speak, Cao Yun hurriedly interrupted Hu Qing'er, "Everyone can buy it, but we can't. The rules here are set by officials. If we buy it, others will say that officials use their power for personal gain. Even if they are not punished, they will ruin their reputation."

At this time, Li Yanqing wanted to hug his wife and kiss him hard. If his wife does this, what else can his husband ask for? Li Yanqing suddenly had an idea in his mind. Anyway, his wife had nothing to do at home, so he could find a small thing for them to do to earn some makeup money.

Thinking of this, Li Yanqing smiled and said, "There are teahouses that sell to Xiangjia, and no one wants them. Are you interested in buying them and doing a small business?

Cao Yun and Shishi smiled and didn't say anything, but Hu Qing'er asked anxiously: "What kind of teahouse is it? How much does it cost?"

"It is called Huangjianzui Teahouse, opposite Fengle Building, covering an area of ​​about five acres, only 5,000 taels of silver."

"Five thousand taels!"

Hu Qing'er exclaimed, and her heart quickly turned it over and her eyes widened, "That's 25,000 guan. Brother, this is too expensive!"

Zhao Jinluo squirted out a mouthful of tea, quickly wiped the corners of his mouth and smiled: "If you don't want it, just give it to me!"

Zhao Jinfu hurriedly pulled his second sister, "Second sister, don't be so greedy, okay, you want anything!"

Cao Yun smiled slightly, "My second sister has been buying land these days. She must know the land market. Let me tell us about it!"

Hu Qing'er also reacted, "I didn't say no, I just don't understand the market."

"Okay! I'll tell you."

Zhao Jinluo rolled up his sleeves and spoke like a storyteller. "By the way, the land price in Qiantang County is expensive to the west and south. The closer to West Lake, the higher the price. It is also close to the south of the city, and the price also soars. Take Fengle Building for example. Five thousand taels of silver per acre. This is the land price of a few months ago. Now, even if you pay 10,000 taels of silver per acre, no one is willing to sell it to you. You can't buy it at all. Huangjianzui Teahouse is opposite Fengle Building. The land price is the same. A teahouse with five acres only sells 5,000 taels of silver. Do you think it is cost-effective?"

Hu Qing'er calculated it in her mind, and her almond eyes widened again, "My mother, the land price alone is five times the profit. Brother, why would no one want it so cheap?"

Li Yanqing smiled, because other industries earned more, and the shops that cost more than 20,000 taels of silver were generally not favored by the powerful and nobles, so of course they were unwilling to waste their precious places on them.

"That's it! You are exactly five of you, each of you, paid a thousand taels of silver, and the profit will be divided into five in the future. Everyone has the money for cosmetics."

This idea was good, and everyone happily ran back to the house to get the silver. Even a steady woman like Cao Yun felt that it was harmless to do a small business, so she went back to get the silver. Zhao Jinluo made a temporary decision this time when he came to Hangzhou. He did not bring the silver, and he had to temporarily owe the 5,000 taels of silver for buying the house.

She didn't want to give up such a good opportunity to make money. She quickly whispered to her sister Zhao Fujin: "Fourth sister, please help me with it first, and I'll return it to you afterwards."

"Second sister, why don't I come out for you!"

"This is not possible. My sisters settle the score clearly. This is my makeup money, of course I will pay it myself!"

Zhao Jinfu stopped insisting and hurried back to the yard to get the money.

Needless to say, the princess is the princess. Everyone has their own rich dowry and their monthly money is quite considerable. Over time, they are of course worth a lot of money, but the money is theirs, and even the prince-consort is hard to take advantage.

Of course, Li Yanqing was not short of money. His salary was not much, and his income mainly came from Baoyanzhai. Baoyanzhai had 30% of the members, and he had hundreds of thousands of taels of silver every year. However, Li Yanqing did not ask for that much. Every year, his father Li Daqi would give him 50,000 taels of silver. After having a son, his living expenses increased to 80,000 taels of silver per year.

Cao Yun set the rules that in addition to family expenses, each person also has regular money. Cao Yun ordered a grandma's wife to spend 500 taels of silver a month, and a grandma's wife's spending of 400 taels of silver a month, and even Hu Qing'er also had 400 taels of silver. This included personal expenses such as cosmetics, clothes, jewelry, etc., and there were 50,000 taels of silver a year. Although the expenses were large, the accumulation was not small. Over the years, each person had a savings of tens of thousands of taels of silver. Now it is easy to invest 1,000 taels of silver.

Soon, everyone took back the money. Of course, one thousand taels of silver weighed 63 kilograms, and they could not move such heavy silver ingots. Each of them took the silver ingots spread out from the big silver, and a hundred taels of silver. Soon Li Yanqing received fifty silver ingots. He smiled and said, "I'll go and do this in the afternoon. If you have time, you can go to the teahouse to sit. If you want to change your business, you can do whatever you want."

Several women discussed it and decided to go to the teahouse to have a seat in the afternoon.

"The name Huang Jianzui is not nice. Can you change the name?" At the entrance of the teahouse, Cao Yun looked up at the plaque on the shop, frowned slightly.

Shishi quickly smiled and said, "Sister, Huang Jianzui is a big brand in Tokyo, the top ten teahouses in Tokyo, and it ranks seventh."

Since the Supreme Emperor Zhao Ji was captured in the north, Shishi's biggest heart disease disappeared and her personality became much more cheerful. At least she no longer had to worry about recognizing her. Even if anyone recognizes her, Li Shishi of the past, no one dared to do anything about her. Besides, she also enthroned Shuren's third-class imperial edict, and with the imperial edict, she completely got rid of her origin in Yueji.

A few beautiful ladies were traveling to the teahouse in a few gorgeous carriages, and followed a large group of maids and maids. Of course, the shopkeeper wanted to greet them in person. He stood aside and heard what the ladies said. He suddenly understood in his heart that these must be the new owners.

Just now, someone from the county government told him that the teahouse had been bought by five noble ladies. Isn’t this the comparison they are?

Although the person from the county government did not tell him the identity of the new owner, the shopkeeper was very happy and the person who could buy Xiangjia's property would never be an ordinary person.

He hurriedly stepped forward and smiled, "Several distinguished guests, please sit upstairs!"

Zhao Jinluo asked with a smile: "The teahouse covers an area of ​​five acres, is it the only one building?"

"Mrs. I don't know that in addition to this building, there are four small courtyards in the teahouse. However, because the former owner had an accident, the backyard has not been opened in the past few days, and only the front building has been opened. However, it has been unblocked this afternoon and needs to be cleaned again. The fourth small courtyard will be open normally since tomorrow. I'm sorry to invite a few ladies to go to the second floor to have tea."

Cao Yun nodded, "Then go up to the second floor!"

"If you have a distinguished guest, go to Furong Hall!" The shopkeeper shouted, and several beautiful tea prostitutes walked down and greeted them with smiles.

Furong Hall is the largest and most luxurious elegant room in the teahouse. It is divided into two rooms inside and outside. Five maids and five female guards sit outside to drink tea and rest, while the five hostess sit in the inner room to drink tea and chat.

The shopkeeper personally arranged two of the best tea prostitutes to make tea for them. He asked with a smile on his face, "Which mansion do the five ladies come from?"

Hu Qing'er was straightforward and turned around and said, "The four of us are the family of Taiwei Li, and this wife is the wife of Prince Cao."

The shopkeeper was so scared that he was Li Yanqing's family. Isn't Cao's wife the emperor's princess?

"The villain is disrespectful! Disrespectful!" The shopkeeper quickly bowed and bowed.

Cao Yun smiled and said, "Who is the surname of the shopkeeper? Where is the family?"

"I dare not be a lie. The villain is exempted from his surname Xu, a native of Kaifeng Mansion. Are you Mrs. Cao?"

Manager Xu has great vision and can see that Cao Yun is the real wife, so he should be the daughter of the Cao family.

Cao Yun nodded with a smile, "The shopkeeper has such a good eye. The five sisters bought this teahouse today, and they just bought it for fun. They don't care about much business matters, so they will have to trouble Manager Xu in the future."

"It turns out that they are five new owners. The villain will definitely do his best to manage it. Please take care of the five owners in the future."

"We will take care of you. In the future, we will not go to Fengle Tower when we have tea at noon. We will come here and leave us a small courtyard."

"Then stay in the plum courtyard, which is quiet and quiet, and the most comfortable. You will come tomorrow and clean up there."

Cao Yun asked everyone and agreed happily, "Then come tomorrow at noon and bring my officials and members together. You can keep the yard."
