MTL - I Was Called a Poor Widow, But I Relied on My Supernatural Powers To Fight Back In Ancient Times-Chapter 938 Go shopping

"The officials are very considerate, and the purchase of this yard is really good. They say that the rich and powerful in Kyoto gather together, and every inch of land is very expensive. I was really afraid that I wouldn't be able to buy a suitable yard. I didn't expect the officials to be so capable. I heard from Shuyuan that Senior Brother Zhao helped a lot. We’re busy, let’s settle down later and invite Senior Brother Zhao and his wife to our house as guests.”

 She hasn’t seen her senior brother in six or seven years, and she doesn’t know if he still recognizes her.

"It's time to thank him," Xiaowu often mentioned about the senior brother named Zhao. The chief disciple of his father-in-law had a poor character.

Having been busy for most of the day, I simply put away the items I brought, and the sun has already set in the west.

 With the sound of rapid footsteps, Xiao Wu hurried back.

Beicheng is a gathering place for merchants, rich but not powerful.

“Mom, you finally arrived.”

 Achieve the purpose of checks and balances.

Xicheng is populated by ordinary people, and it is also a slum area among the population of the Imperial City.

“Guests, please come in. Our Liyanfang has released new facial butter and powder. The smell is refreshing and pleasant. If guests want to try it, they can go directly to the counter, where samples are placed.”

Hearing Xiao Wu’s wanton tone, Bai Yunxi couldn’t help but curl up his lips.

Xiaowu had already described the layout of this place to her. The layout of the imperial city was in the shape of a zigzag, with north-south and east-west streets running across the middle, and it was divided into four urban districts.

“Don’t worry, mother, I’m good at kitchen things, so you can rest assured if you leave it to me.”

Looking at his mother's surprised eyes, Xiao Wu shrugged his shoulders, "The emperor's heart is unpredictable. If the officials dare to give it, the son will naturally dare to bear it."

In fact, these houses were confiscated by the court, that is, the property was confiscated, and the money and other properties were returned directly to the national treasury. The remaining houses were useless for the court to hold in their hands. The best way was to liquidate them.

 Du was very happy when she received the errand in the kitchen. She liked to be busy in the kitchen. Only there did she feel useful.

　　Yaya gave her yard a nice name, Furong Pavilion.

 The family is completely settled. Over in the kitchen, Baiyunxi is directly handed over to Du.

"We brought the cook from Fucheng. Mother Zhang was sent home by Yishan. There is no one to take charge of the kitchen at the moment. You can take charge first and wait until we find a suitable person."

Even the waiters who greet the guests are girls.

 Listening to Xiao Wu’s explanation, Baiyun Xi understood.

 So, as long as there are channels, you can buy a suitable house.

"New model? Shall I go and take a look?" Yaya's eyes lit up and she walked directly to the counter.

"Okay, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief." "My mother had the foresight and asked the fifth brother to buy a house in Kyoto directly, so that the second brother and sister can live there when they come over."

"Your wife is too busy to walk too fast on the road." Bai Yunxi looked at him, her brows filled with high spirits. She seemed to be doing well in her career.

Looking at the shops lined up on both sides, Bai Yunxi held Yaya's hand and walked slowly on the street. Watching the people coming and going, from time to time he could see a group of girls and servants walking in surrounded by one or two ladies. shop.

“Senior Brother Zhao helped me find it. The price is moderate, three thousand guan. I bought it from the imperial court..."

No one can kill anyone, it’s just a fight.

“By the way, such a big house is not cheap, right?”

Bai Yunxi stood in the shop, looking at the dazzling array of products displayed in the cabinets, smelling the smell of powder in the air, and her nose felt a little itchy.

 Dongcheng is the commercial district and the most prosperous and lively place in the entire imperial city.

“Hey, grandma, it smells so good. There is a balsam shop in front of you, let’s go and have a look?” Yaya took Bai Yunxi’s hand and shook it gently.

"Indeed, as a close minister of the emperor, as long as you focus on resolving the worries of the officials, there will basically be nothing wrong."

"I will listen to mother's arrangements." Du Shi chuckled lightly, as long as she did something good for Yaya, she would never object.

 Two hundred five. Two hundred and thirty four. One hundred and forty six. Seventy-one

Furthermore, the rank of Hanlin bachelors is still a trivial matter. The most important thing is that Hanlin bachelors are generally the emperor's confidants. As long as they do well, they may become prime ministers in the future.

 The clan relies on its heritage, and they rely on the rights given by officials.

 Xiao Wu becomes prime minister? Just thinking about it makes Baiyun Xi feel a little dazed.

 Three large courtyards also have three side courtyards and a large garden. In the center of the imperial city, three thousand guan is indeed not expensive.

Nancheng District is the residence of government offices and officials and dignitaries, making it a proper wealthy area.

　　 Hanlin bachelor, this is too high.

"When a girl grows up, she has to move out and set up a new yard. The girl and the mother-in-law will take care of her. She will live in a spacious place. Being the owner of a yard is also an exercise."

Bai Yunxi looked at the three words Liyanfang hanging on the door. All the people coming in and out were young women.

Bai Yunxi looked at Du Shi and suggested softly.

 Listening to Xiao Wu’s voice, Bai Yunxi also agreed with him.

 Baiyunxi: “…”

 After learning this, Bai Yunxi took Du Shi directly to the commercial street in Dongcheng by carriage.

As far as she knows, the Hanlin bachelor of the Song Dynasty is a third-grade scholar, skipping two grades in a row?

How could Xiaowu, a poor scholar, jump so fast?

 To put it bluntly, what they bought was a foreclosure house.

 When children are young, they feel safe living with their parents, but when they grow older, they need to develop their independence.

 Therefore, the officials need these poor people to stand up and use their strength to compete with the clan.

 She never dreamed that she would be able to live in a place like Kyoto in this life. The wealthy life in front of her was like a dream.

"Going back to my mother, the officials directly arranged for me to be admitted to the Hanlin Academy as a Hanlin bachelor."

 After a few days of placement, the whole yard finally looked good. Baiyunxi took Du Shi around the yard and found problems and dealt with them promptly.

 “Okay, let’s go and have a look,”

“Sit down and talk, tell me quickly, what position has the official arranged for you?”

“By the way, I’m going to give Yaya a separate residence in the side courtyard next to us. When Yatou grows up, it’s time for her to have her own independent courtyard.”

“Don’t worry, mother, we are not a clan. We can only rely on the official family. Being loyal to the court and the official family is the duty of us Hanlin scholars, and it is also what the official family is happy to foresee.”

 The official family has thunderous skills, but the power of the clan is still strong. At present, the government can only check and balance, and it is simply impossible to uproot it.

"Ah? Is it too big for a little girl to live alone in a courtyard?"

As the new owner of the courtyard, Baiyunxi still named the courtyard Rongshu Hall. Zhang Yishan followed suit and copied the name of Haitang Garden.

Mrs. Du was surprised. She had been living in the east wing with Yaya, and she didn't think she was small.

 After a while, Yaya turned back, approached Baiyun River, and whispered,

“Grandma, the balsam here is too expensive, one costs five guan.”

Hearing Yaya's sighing tone, Baiyunxi chuckled, "There are many powerful people in the imperial city, and the most indispensable thing is the rich."

 Let alone a box of balsam costing five guan, if you have money, you may not be able to buy any goods that are in short supply. (End of chapter)
