Greetings, Ninth Uncle

Cheng Yujin's first reaction was to quickly count the number of gold ingots. Cheng Yuanjing's people could unknowingly stuff the land deed into the box, who knows if they stole a piece or two of gold by the way.

Chapter 31

Cheng Yujin counted twice carefully. Because it was only a rough overview at the time, she was afraid that she could not remember correctly, so she deliberately weighed it for a while, and finally determined that the number of gold ingots was not small, except for an extra stack of land deeds.

It is rare for Cheng Yujin to feel the shame of using a villain's heart to control a gentleman's belly. If Cheng Yuanjing knew what she was thinking, I'm afraid she would be so angry that she would take the land deed money back in person.

Cheng Yujin pretended that nothing happened, and looked at the title deed carefully.

Cheng Yujin read the title deed from beginning to end, and sighed inwardly that in the past few years, Old Marquis Cheng, taking advantage of the prince's power, has indeed accumulated a lot of money. Today, Old Master Cheng gave it all at once, there are nearly 16 hectares of farmland, seven shops, one property, 6,000 taels of silver, four boxes of calligraphy and painting and gold utensils, and a box of gold ingots. This is still because the prince can't show his identity, Cheng Laohou is just taking a ride on the road. After a few years of hard work, Cheng Laohou has accumulated so much money by himself. How much assets does Cheng Yuanjing have?

Cheng Yujin couldn't even imagine it.

Cheng Yujin put the title deed aside, turned on the light, took out the account book that he got back from Old Marquis Cheng, and looked at it seriously. I didn't expect to see it like this, but it was a big surprise to Cheng Yujin.

Lord Cheng gave her a total of three stores, two in Zhengxifang, one in Xuanbeifang, and a small farm. Because what Cheng Yumo was given was a box of gold and silverware, one thousand taels of silver, Cheng Yujin originally expected the value of the shop to be about two thousand taels, but the actual situation of the store was much more expensive than she imagined.

Zhengxifang is a prosperous place, not far from the six government offices of the imperial court, and these two shops are facing the street, one is a cloth shop and the other is a jewelry shop. The Liuli shop in Xuanbeifang was dipped in the light of the official Liulichang. After the management, the business was also slightly profitable.

This is much more valuable than Cheng Yumo's dead things. Although gold and silver are beautiful, but if you want to realize it, you will inevitably have to discount it. Not to mention the silver bills, one thousand taels in the box will not increase in value, but will gradually depreciate over time. Unless the printed money is placed, the total value of the money has been decreasing.

Another very important point is that these three shops are all in the capital, and even the little Zhuangzi is in the suburbs. Cheng Yuanxian and Cheng Yuanhan each got two stores, but they were both far away in Yangzhou. Cheng Yujin didn't plan to marry far in the future. If she really gave her shops in Yangzhou, Jinling and other places, she would not be able to get anything even if she made more profits.

Cheng Yujin closed the account book, giving birth to a sense of pleasure of being rich overnight. A family's income is roughly divided into four parts, salary, fields, business and gray income. The current status of the Yichūn Houfu is not to point to other people's filial piety, and the gray income is negative; Cheng Yuanxian and Cheng Yuanhan's salary is almost negligible; It is safe, but there is only so much output in one year, and it is OK to maintain stability, but not to make money quickly. The business risks are high, and the returns are also high. Among them, the two stores in Zhengxifang in the capital are located in good locations and have high profits. They are almost the main source of income for Mr. Cheng.

Cheng Yujin roughly estimated that six-tenths of Cheng Laohou's income was in her hands. Not to mention that when she was leaving, she hit right and took away a box of gold ingots used by Old Marquis Cheng to save her life.

Over the years, the Lord of Qingfu County has bought a lot of flashy jewelry for her for the sake of her face. Cheng Yujin's clothes are also changed every season, and the clothes she used to wear are basically impossible to wear. However, Cheng Yujin lived a noble life on the surface, but in fact, he was like drinking water, knowing whether he was cold or warm. She doesn't have a source of money in her hand, and she can't sell Qingfu's jewelry. In the big house, there are human feelings everywhere, and money needs to be spent everywhere. As a result, Cheng Yujin is stretched, and she is always calculating every piece. Where is the silver used.

So Cheng Yujin dreams of her own dowry, manpower and industry. Thanks to the quarrel between the first and second rooms of the Cheng family, Mr. Cheng was finally annoyed and couldn’t stand it anymore, so he proposed to divide the property. Cheng Yujin relied on the master of Qingfu County and Cheng Yuanxian to brush a wave of existence in front of Mr. Cheng. , and also successfully got a copy of their own. Cheng Yujin roughly listed the properties she had, and found that she had a farm, three shops, plus the silver in the public, ten hectares of fertile farmland that His Royal Highness disliked, a few pieces of calligraphy and painting that were left over, and the most practical ones. , a box of gold. In just one night, her property exceeded ten thousand taels, and she suddenly became rich.

This big surprise can almost be called a disaster. Qing Fugui is the county lord, with a dowry at a high price. In addition, for so many years, the host of the marquis's mansion has contributed to his own interests, and the money under his hand has not exceeded 10,000 taels. Cheng Yujin was pretty sure that if others knew how much she actually got today, her disaster would start soon.

Unfortunately, they won't know. Cheng Yujin redistributed the things in her hand, and the box of gold ingots could no longer be seen by anyone, and together with the land deed that Cheng Yuanjing gave her, it became Cheng Yujin's last retreat, and she never showed up at ordinary times. The shop that Old Marquis Cheng gave her was told to everyone, and there was no way to hide it. Cheng Yujin had to make another plan to keep it in her own hands. As for Lord Cheng's box of paintings and calligraphy, Cheng Yujin doesn't care, it's just leftovers, it's okay to take the leftovers.
