Chapter 217 Show off Your Skills

At first, Wanyan Zhen liked the tone of Xuezhu. Even if Xuezhu never pretended to be nice to him, Wanyan Zhen was still very generous. All the concubines in the harem were jealous of Xuezhu. Some of them wanted to learn from Xuezhu, but they were thrown into the cold palace by Wanyan Zhen. Even the queen was scolded. From then on, no one in the harem dared to provoke Xuezhu.

However, the cold rejection of Xuezhu in the later stage made Wanyan Zhen lose patience. In addition, there were new concubines who came in and were advised by them. Yan zhen never visited xuezhu again. From then on, there was no reward. She just wanted to wait for xuezhu to be bullied. But Wanyan Zhen was destined to lose hope, and even he rarely thought of Xuezhu's existence under the flattery of 3,000 red powder.

If Wanyan Zhen had not issued an edict and sent secret guards to protect Xuezhu, Xuezhu would have become a skeleton. However, wanyanzhen had no intention of taking snow bamboo with her, so the guards didn't have to protect Xuezhu anymore, and the concubines and concubines didn't have time to find a problem without threatening promises.

"Little lord, the emperor is going to move south. He will not take all the concubines with him. Little lord must make plans early." The maidservant could not help but feel anxious for her when she saw that her master was still so calm.

Chuxia also had a worried look on his face, but his character was more stable. Since serving Xuezhu, he had the dignity to live. It was because he was absolutely loyal to snow bamboo and knew more about Xuezhu's thoughts.

"The servant has inquired, and the emperor has already ordered the concubines and concubines to be taken away. They are all relatives of the officials who will go south with the emperor. The little lord is not on the list. If the little lord wants to go south with the emperor, the servant will find a way to make the emperor remember the little lord again, but if the little lord does not want to go with him, This is the only chance for the master to leave the palace," Chuxia said in a low voice.

"Chuxia, you..." Chu chen looked at Chuxia in disbelief, but then he remembered the days when his master was in the palace, and he said with loyalty, "Your servant is as important as Chuxia. Your master has made up his mind earlier, or else your servant and others will not be able to handle it properly."

When Xuezhu heard that he had the chance to leave the palace, there was a slight change of mood on his face, and a light flashed in his eyes, as if the first rays of sunlight in the morning had entered his eyes and made his heart flutter.

Even though Xuezhu had been depressed for more than three years, a beautiful woman was a beautiful woman, no matter how beautiful she looked or smiled.

"I'm going out," Xuezhu said softly, but it was not difficult to detect her excitement.

Turning to look at the two maidservants who had taken good care of themselves, xuezhu held their hands and said, "Will you follow me out of the palace? From now on, the three of us will live together and never enter this cold cage again."

Chu chen and Chuxia nodded with tears in their eyes. Although they didn't know if they could leave alive, they still had to try as long as there was a glimmer of hope.

"Little lord, I'll go and clean up your mess and arrange for you to leave the palace," Chuxia said hurriedly.

"I will follow the master and serve him for the rest of my life," chuchen said.

Not to mention the packing up of the three servants and masters, the whole of Imperial Capital was now shrouded in fear and unease. Under the low pressure, even the busiest commercial street in Imperial Capital was in a slump. Every household had a tacit understanding to close the door tightly, afraid that they would suffer from the disaster of fish in the pond. Many of the masters of the big families hid in secret rooms, hoping to survive this disaster safely.

When su mianyue and Wine Man arrived in Imperial Capital, they saw such a scene. Fortunately, not all business places were closed and ready. It was not easy to see guests coming. The shop was even more enthusiastic and offered to give them discounts.

After eating and drinking, Wine Man went out for a walk with Su Mianyue's signal. Su Mianyue also learned about the current situation in Imperial Capital from the shop owner.

This was also why Su Mianyue chose to stay at an inconspicuous inn. Because there were many people from all walks of life here, many merchants from different places or people from all over the world would stay at such a low price inn. The news was better than those big shops, and there were few scruples when people talked.

While chatting with the shop owner, Su Mianyue heard that the shop owner wanted to go back to his hometown, so he directly used the normal market price to sell the inn and paid the full amount. The only condition was that the shop owner had to work for her for a month, and Su Mianyue could not leave until he found the right person to take over. Naturally, they would also pay a lot of money to the shopkeeper, and every shopkeeper would be able to eat and live in the original place, and Su Mianyue would be responsible for this part of the cost.

"Shopkeeper xu knows the situation in Imperial Capital best. Do you know how many shops and houses in Imperial Capital are eager to sell? If the price is moderate and there is no problem, I would like to make another offer." After more than an hour of conversation, Su Mianyue knew a little about the situation in Imperial Capital, and he knew that there were no fewer small merchants like shopkeeper xu who did not want to stay in Imperial Capital, and those big families in Imperial Capital also wanted to expand their business during this special period, but they kept the price very low.

Except for some people who could afford so much money, they sold their belongings and left. There were not a few people like shopkeeper xu who gritted their teeth and supported themselves. If they did not have enough money to go back to their hometown and no fields, it would be difficult for a family to survive.

Hearing that Su Mianyue still wanted to buy shops and houses, shopkeeper xu's eyes lit up immediately and asked cautiously, "I wonder what the owner wants? As far as I know, most of the small businesses and small households in Imperial Capital like me want to sell their business, but although the price is a little lower than usual, the land in Imperial Capital is not much cheaper."

"Shopkeeper xu should know the current market situation. I don't want to lower the price too much, but I won't make any mistakes. The price will be sold at 80 % of last month's market price, and all the staff in the shop can stay for the time being. If there is no problem after my investigation, I will continue to work. If I want to be fired, I will give you two months' pay. As for those shops without shopkeeper, the requirement is the same as shopkeeper xu, who needs the current shopkeeper to stay for a month to work for me, and the treatment is the same as shopkeeper xu. As for the house, after the deal is done, you can leave the original owner a month to move out. The servants they can't take away will only be sold to me." Su Mianyue did not hesitate to say what she intended, and her conditions were absolutely generous.

As for the servants who had been bought over, it was not known whether they could be used for the time being. Su Mianyue had bought so many houses and would not keep them all. After Wanyan Lin's new deal, the price would definitely rise. She would sell them over.

But shops must be firmly in their hands, which is a long-term benefit.

When shopkeeper xu heard of this favorable condition, he wished he could accept it for those old acquaintances. He also knew that Su Mianyue was kind enough and could not lower the price. Otherwise, he would be greedy.

And although Su Mianyue's conditions were good, there was still a big gap with shopkeeper xu. At least the price of the shop was 20 % lower, which was tens of thousands of taels of silver.

In addition, every time manager xu helps me buy a shop, I will give manager xu a 2 % commission and a 1 % commission for a house. As for whether manager xu is doing it himself or cooperating with others, please feel free to do so, just don't affect the business of the inn. But I can only give shopkeeper xu two days. Anyone willing to come and resell it before the end of the day tomorrow can be sold." Su Mianyue said softly, thinking that she would show off tonight. Otherwise, she wouldn't have brought so much money with her, and she wouldn't have been able to buy so much real estate.

Where are the treasures? Naturally, they are luxurious palaces, and then there are those close officials who want to accompany Wanyan Zhen to the south. Thinking of this, Su Mianyue couldn't help but smile. He wanted to know how the capital officials who didn't have enough money to stand on the south side.

No, she had to send someone to the south first to build up her power. She would definitely use it in the future.
