Transmigration: From Farmer To Empress

However, despite this, he still secretly opened two shops without telling his family, one was a fur shop and the other was a pawn shop. The business was very prosperous, and he could earn three to five hundred taels of silver per month, which was more than enough.

It's a pity that he has to keep his business secret from his family. Otherwise, if he were allowed to do it, he would make three to fifty thousand taels of silver every year!

Now is the twelfth lunar month, the busiest season for his fur shop, with hundreds of taels of silver being traded every day. He also made a lot of money and was very comfortable.

In order to welcome his future sister-in-law, he also specially left two fine black fox skins as a meeting gift for his future sister-in-law. He had already prepared everything for the New Year at home and was waiting for his brother and sister-in-law to come back for the New Year.

On the 19th day of the twelfth lunar month, he was playing chess with his father at home. Suddenly he saw his young man Yaoxiao walking in and said to him: "Sir, just now the Prince of Jian'an sent someone to deliver a message. He wants to invite you to have dinner at Juxiang Pavilion at noon. , you see..."

After hearing this, Mu Zhongqing put down his chess piece and said, "Since you are invited by a classmate, let's go. A man must make many friends to be able to eat well outside. But remember, you are not allowed to fool around outside, let alone do it outside." Something that is disgraceful to the family..."

Wu'er agreed, although the medicine hoe came out, as soon as he got outside, the medicine hoe whispered: "Master, just now a flower came to our fur shop, holding a land deed of the fur shop more than ten years ago, saying that we The fur shop belongs to him. He just left for more than ten years and failed to take care of the fur shop on time for some reason. He also wants to go to Yingtian Mansion to sue you, saying that you have taken advantage of others and robbed people's wealth.  "

Mu Chongwu said in surprise: "How could the fur shop I bought with real money belong to him? He is probably a madman or a liar, right?"

Yaochao said: "This Huazi is known to an old man in our shop. He was the son-in-law of the first owner of our shop. Our fur shop was originally opened to test him. After this man got married, His old employer gave him the fur shop and made him the shopkeeper of the fur shop. Unexpectedly, this boy was a fool. On the third day after getting married, he made a fuss about going back to worship his ancestors. In fact, the ancestor worship was a lie. Go back and see him. The concubine is the real thing. Later, for some reason, I heard that in order to redeem his prostitute concubine, he stole other people's things and was imprisoned for ten years. "

Mu Chongwu thought for a while and said: "The person you are talking about, I vaguely remember hearing my mother and sister talking about it when I was a child. It seems that he was the son-in-law of the Shen family, the former magistrate of Qing County. Was his name Li Jing or Li Qing? He was also a scholar. Well, others called him Li Sheng. At that time, he married into the Shen family. Many people said that he was lucky. He went to sister Shen, a good woman, but he didn't expect to end up in such a bad situation. What a pity!"

"That's right, I heard what others said. This flower boy was once a scholar or a junior student. Unfortunately, for being a prostitute, he was first deprived of his status as a scholar, and then spent ten years in prison for her. When he came out, he almost died. He died, but the prostitute had already married and had a child. He was seriously ill and had nowhere to go, but the monks in the temple kindly took him in and let him recuperate in the temple. I heard that it took him two or three years to recover. , he struggled as soon as he recovered from his illness, begging for food all the way to Beijing, and looking for Mr. Shen and his wife."

"Haha, he probably still thinks that Sister Shen can protect his body like a jade for him, or is still waiting for him to be his husband. It's really ridiculous!" Wu'er is simple and honest, and rarely laughs at people. After hearing Li Sheng's behavior today, , and laughed for the first time.

Yao Xie also smiled: "That's right. He didn't grasp such a good opportunity at the beginning. Now that there are no people and no ghosts, he only thinks of regrets. Seeing that the Shen family has moved away, he actually wants to take back the shop. In the world, How could there be such a shameless person?"
