Chapter 5 Strong Buy and Strong Sell

The wife who came to buy the dowry for Ye Li was Ye Shangshu's cousin-in-law. Although the master in the family was only a fifth-rank official who was not as prominent as the Ye family, he was also a kind person. In the common folks, I heard about these three girls a lot, and I felt that Ye Li was the legitimate daughter of the Ye family. Usually, Ye Li rarely went out of the family and thought that she was a quiet girl, not as unbearable as outsiders said. Naturally, she understood that those words were probably released by Wang. Now, at first sight, although she was not as bright and charming as the second girl of the Ye family, nor as weak, beautiful and charming as the fourth girl, she had a quiet and elegant temperament.

His behavior was also very consistent, especially his quiet eyes, which seemed as quiet as water, but always made people feel that they were a little different from other girls. Although they were different from the soft and gentle beauty that many men liked, they were definitely not bad compared to other girls in the Ye family. I couldn't help but feel a little wrong with Ye Li. It would be fine if I marry a sick and useless prince. There were many dowrys of 10,000 taels in ordinary families, but they were not as good as those of the other people in the Ye family who got married a few years earlier. Fortunately, the old lady was wise and returned the third girl to the shop shop of the original wife of the Ye family, otherwise the Ye family would probably be ugly.

Ye Li was in a good mood after taking back the property left by her mother, so she was too lazy to care about the old lady giving Ye Ying 10,000 taels and Wang Shi used a lot of money from the public to get Ye Ying dowry. Originally, a child in the family was favored and unpopular, and ten fingers were still long and short. The Ye family was more pampering Ye Ying, but she had no objection, as long as she didn't let her face be over. As for the future, although she didn't think that this family would give her much support in the future, she couldn't have a quarrel with her family before she got married. She spent two days to put the shop on the shop.

The account book was corrected, but Ye Li frowned. Among the losses of the twelve shops, the four companies maintained that they did not lose or make money, and the three companies that really made money were just a little profit. The eight farms were not the original ones. Wang's explanation was that when Zhaoyi entered the palace, four farms used flowers for Zhaoyi, so four of them were added from the mansion. Ye Li knew what kind of virtues the four people who were added were. If she hadn't proposed to the old lady first, I'm afraid that when she wanted the farm, the eight farms would have been replaced.

Early in the morning, I asked An to ask the old lady and said Ye Li and took Qingshuang out to patrol the shop.

Ye Li rarely walked outside, and almost no one in the capital knew her. After walking around this circle, not only did Qingshuang look angry, but even the person who thought he was good-minded was very angry. There were seven shopkeepers in the twelve shops who were newly appointed less than two days before the shop was still in her hands, and they didn't know anything about the previous things in the shop. There was also a jewelry store watching people coming and going, and the account book was full of losses. As for the two shops that were profitable, the goods were listless, and even the counter was covered with dust, so it would be strange if someone would visit them.

"Miss, Madam is too much. When you go back, you must tell the old lady and the master!" Qingshuang said angrily.

"So what if I say it? Her two daughters are now Zhaoyi, who is about to enter the position of concubine, and the other is going to be Princess Li. What do you think your father and grandmother will treat her?" Ye Li glanced at Qingshuang and smiled faintly. Qingshuang was silent and resentful, "Don't you just forget it? The lady clearly wants to embarrass the lady. What's the difference between a dowry in such a shop? "

"Is it embarrassing? I feel embarrassing if you want your girl. If I don't feel embarrassing, I won't be embarrassing."

Qingshuang blinked and looked at her lady with anticipation, "What should I pay attention to when I miss it?"

Ye Li smiled without saying a word, and walked around Qingshuang to the front. Qingshuang wrinkled her nose and followed with a happy look on her face, "Miss, there is the last one in front. Shen Dexuan is an antique shop."

Before entering the store, Ye Li frowned. The antique shop is not a place where people come and go, it is usually quiet and elegant. The sounds in this store can be heard clearly without people entering.

As soon as I entered the door, the shop was full of erotic clothes. The shopkeeper, wearing a rich and powerful dress, was looking at an old-fashioned young man with contempt. The man looked haggard and sick. His handsome face looked sallow and dry. Although the clothes on his body were old, they were washed very clean and did not look disgusting. Instead, they had a faint literary temperament. At this time, the man looked embarrassed and anxious, and looked a little breathless, "Shopkeeper, please see it clearly. This painting is really the original work of Mr. Wu Zhikai of the previous dynasty."

The shopkeeper glanced at the man with disgust and said, "Look at your face of poverty, how could Wu... Wu Zhikai's original work? This painting is clearly a fake! But our store also collects imitations. It seems that your imitation is pretty good, so I'll give you two hundred taels."

The man's face turned red with anger, "You...you..." Wu Zhikai was a master of the previous dynasty. Even if it was not the best, it would cost at least two thousand taels. If he lifted it, it would be even higher. The shopkeeper actually wanted to buy his ancestral treasure at one tenth of the price. If he didn't really ask for money, how could he be willing to sell this painting like this? "It's outrageous! I won't sell it!" The man rolled up the scroll angrily and wanted to leave.

"Wait!" When the shopkeeper saw the man going to leave, a trace of viciousness flashed in his eyes. He stared at the man fiercely and said, "I gave you two hundred taels to give you face! You must have stolen this from you, right? That's right. Look at your poor painting, how could you have such a famous painting? Let's go there for the government."

"I'm afraid you won't be able to do it when you meet an official? You shopkeeper's store opening is so unreasonable!" the man said angrily.

The shopkeeper smiled contemptuously, "Reason? Do you know whose shop belongs to our store? Tell you, this is the business of the Empress Zhaoyi family in the palace. The fourth girl in our mansion will soon become Princess Li. Do you think the government believes in me or you are poor?"

"you……"

"Young master, I'll ask for what you said. Two thousand taels." Ye Li walked into the store and said softly.

The two people who were still arguing were stunned. The man reacted and saw the beautiful and elegant woman in front of him and couldn't help but say, "You... do you believe me?"

In fact, Ye Li may not be able to see whether the painting is true or not. She just concluded from the reactions of the shopkeeper and the man, as well as the guilt flashing across the face of the master who was a painting examiner at the counter. What's more, even if the painting is fake, she bought it today!
