Ci Jinzhi Chapter 35

  Chapter 35 Games

  Officials in the Great Xia Dynasty didn't have high salaries, but Xin You looked on coldly. The family of a fourth-rank official in the Shaoqing Mansion lived a very prosperous life. One can imagine how many of these came from the Kou family's huge subsidy.

  Xin You could see clearly that whether her daughter-in-law was divorced or her granddaughter was punished, these things would upset the old lady, but she would not feel heartache.

  The millions of fortune Kou Qingqing brought is the old lady's backing.

  Xin You mentioned the money at this time, just like she was clamoring to set up a separate company at the beginning, it was to put pressure on the old lady from another aspect.

  The old lady really felt a headache at the moment.

   Originally, there were rumors outside that the Shaoqing Mansion was greedy for the cousin girl's wealth, and Qiao's divorce, these rumors fell on Qiao alone. If the granddaughter ran out to say something, the hat that the Shaoqing Mansion took off with great difficulty would be put on again.

In addition, my granddaughter was seen by so many people when she rushed outside today. If she is grounded, after a long time, I don't know what those boring people will arrange for the Shaoqing Mansion. The emissary is attracted.

  After thinking about it, the old lady found that if she couldn't get her granddaughter to compromise, only meeting this girl's request would have the least impact, and she could even show the world how much she loves her granddaughter.

   Wait for this girl to manage the bookstore, and then something will happen. After all, one surname is Kou and the other is surnamed Duan. At most, the Shaoqing Mansion will be judged by a grandmother who is too indulgent to her granddaughter.

   And pampering the granddaughter is much better than Shaoqing's mansion being greedy for the cousin girl's family wealth.

  Looking at the girl with a straight back, the old lady had no choice but to compromise. Forget it, instead of this girl going all out to die, she should spend a little money to buy her clean.

  Having made a decision, the old lady put on a gentle face again: "Qingqing, that is the dowry left by your parents. It will be the foundation of your in-law's house in the future. What if you lose money by using it to run the bookstore?"

  Xin You just wanted to sneer.

  The purchase of Qingsong Bookstore is indeed a large sum of money in people's eyes, but it will not exceed ten thousand taels of silver, which is only a drop in the bucket compared to a million-dollar family fortune. In the mouth of the old lady, it seems that this loss has lost all the money that Kou Qingqing's parents left her.

  Xin You lowered her head slightly, and her tone regained the tenderness of a little girl: "If I lose money, wouldn't my grandmother care about me?"

  The old lady froze, and forced a smile: "Qingqing, this is not small money, you have to think about it."

   "I really thought about it. Qingqing's grandfather also ran a bookstore. Although I was young at that time, I didn't leave much impression, but I feel comfortable walking into the bookstore today. Maybe this is the inheritance in the dark."

  The corner of the old lady's mouth twitched, naturally she would not believe such nonsense, and asked meaningfully: "If someone else asks the reason for opening the bookstore—"

   "In order to inherit my grandfather's will, I want to open the world's number one bookstore. My grandmother loves me, so she supports me to open it."

  The old lady nodded slightly, quite satisfied with the statement, took a sip of tea and asked: "Your second cousin—"

Xin You smiled and answered: "What does it have to do with the second cousin? Qingqing felt that she had grown up and could open a bookstore. At first, her grandmother was worried and refused to agree, but Qingqing became a little headstrong when she was anxious. Grandma had no choice but to comply. I."

   Looking at the smiling girl, the old lady suddenly felt that she had never really seen through her granddaughter.

   "Qingqing, do you know that this kind of rumor is not good for you if it gets out."

   "It's okay, Qingqing is not in a hurry to marry. If she can not marry, it would be best to stay with her grandmother all the time."

   "What are you talking about?" The old lady said so, but her heart couldn't help but move.

   Originally, she planned to marry her granddaughter to her eldest grandson, because of Qiao's stupid poison. Now it seems that this girl has an idea, and trying to promote her marriage with her second grandson may not go well.

  In this case, the granddaughter will leave the cabinet sooner or later.

   But what if this girl can only stay in Shaoqing Mansion because of her bad reputation?

  The old lady had to admit that the words she just heard from her granddaughter gave her a new way of thinking.

   "Since you like it, let the steward ask about it tomorrow."

  The old lady's resignation made Xinyou also heave a sigh of relief.

   Today's farce has become a game between her and the old lady since she entered the inner room of Ruyi Hall.

  If the old lady doesn't care and locks her up, although she can get away and go outside, it will not be so easy to make the other party spit out a large sum of money so quickly.

   Fortunately, the old lady was the kind of person she thought she would be. She threatened her with death and lured her not to marry, so she compromised.

  The old lady's compromise, just like Qiao's, was due to the greed of the people.

  Xin You despises in her heart, but with a smile on her face: "It's better to hit the sun than choose the day. Let the steward accompany me today, so as to save others from guessing."

   "It won't be too late for you to come forward after everything is negotiated."

   "Grandma, Qingqing wants to exercise earlier."

  The old lady hesitated slightly, then nodded.

  Xin You immediately asked, "How much money should I bring?"

  The old lady was choked up, and explained with the corners of her mouth twitching: "Buying a bookstore is not as simple as buying a hairpin and a box of rouge. Even if we talk about it today, it won't be settled soon."

   "If you don't bring Qian Qingqing, you will be very passive, and the other party will probably suspect that I am a little girl messing around. Grandma doesn't want to see me being neglected by outsiders, right?"

  The old lady took a deep breath and calmed herself down: "Then bring two thousand taels of silver notes first. If the negotiation goes well, it will be a deposit."

  Xin You accepts as soon as she sees a deal, and agrees.

  The old lady stretched out her hand: "I've been waiting for a long time, help grandma out."

  Xin You obediently supported the old lady.

   Mrs. Zhu and the others waited quietly in the main room, and they were all surprised when they saw Xin You helping the old lady out.

  Is this... reconciled?

   "Zhu Shi."

   "My daughter-in-law is here."

   "Arrange a steward to accompany Qingqing to go out, and pay two thousand taels of silver from the account first."

  Zhu's heart was even more surprised, and he hurriedly responded.

  Duan Yunhua didn't have the concentration, so he blurted out, "Grandmother, why did you give her money back to let her go out!"

   Isn't Kou Qingqing grounded? How could he let her out and give her back two thousand taels of silver?

   That's two thousand taels!

  Duan Yunhua was so shocked and angry that he forgot the majesty of his grandmother for a while.

  When the old lady saw the face of her second granddaughter, she became very angry: "Kneel down!"

  Duan Yunhua came back rationally, bit his lip and knelt down.

  Xin You didn't stop at her feet, Shi Shiran walked out.

  Behind her, came the old lady's scolding voice: "Hua'er, you have disappointed grandma..."

  Duan Yunling, who didn't dare to leave without her grandmother speaking, tried her best to reduce her sense of existence. Hearing her grandmother's merciless training to her second sister, she couldn't help but glance at the door.

   Not only was she not fined, but she was also given two thousand taels to let the steward go out with her. How did Cousin Qing do it!

   Walking out of the door of Shaoqing Mansion, Xin You looked up at the vast sky and let out a breath of foul air.

  The next step is to buy Qingsong Bookstore at a price she is satisfied with.
