Taken advantage of

It's really a pity.

Song Jingyun let out a long sigh.

That look looked very pitiful.

Jiang Michia couldn't bear to see it, and she was thinking about whether she should go out and search to see if there was a shop that sold the food Song Jingyun mentioned, buy it for her son-in-law, or go eat together.

While he was hesitating, there was a knock on the door.

Jiang Michia went to open the door.

The waiter was outside the door, holding a tray in his hand, "Hello, Mrs. Jiang, our shopkeeper is worried about the cold weather and is afraid that the students who are rushing to take exams will easily catch the cold, so we specially hired a cook to add some new food to the kitchen."

"This is a soup made from mutton bones. Some mutton leg meat is mixed in, and pepper powder is added. It tastes the best to warm up the body. This pan-fried bun is what the chef here is good at. It is stuffed with mutton and green onions.

It’s best paired with lamb bone soup.”

"Ms. Jiang and Mr. Song will also try it to see if they like it."

In just half a day, the shop was under Jiang Junli's name.

The bookstore is next to the inn, on the other side is a jewelry shop, and on the other side is a cloth shop.

The old man, "..."

Furthermore, Xinghe heard someone mention in the evening that the owner of this bookstore was not the old man, but the middle-aged man who reported the news to the old man.

The old man was already in tears, "Although I have the intention to sell this shop, but the shop is really small, no one wants to buy it, and the price cannot be raised, so... there is really no other way."

Jiang Michia, "..."

"Why don't I know this? It's just that my family already owes a lot of money because of my old lady's condition. I can't even borrow money. How can I get her such expensive medicine? How can I go to the capital to see a doctor?

"

"Uncle Cao, my aunt's illness is really unbearable. Although the medicine prescribed by the doctor is a bit expensive, you still have to take a few doses. It's best to go to the capital to find a famous doctor to treat her. Maybe she can get better."

The person sighed.

"This land, which is as big as a hand, costs one thousand taels of silver." The old man said.

Jiang Junli called Xinghe over, took two silver notes and stuffed them into the old man's hands, "It's cheaper, just sell it to me for two thousand taels of silver."

Don't dare think!

Jiang Junli had already arrived at the nearby bookstore.

Jiang Junli flipped through several books without any interest.

It can be said that I was really taken advantage of by buying it from this shop.

Perhaps, this is what Xun Yuanbai said, that the fate of the little son-in-law and Jiang Junli are in line and can strengthen each other. This moment is the result of the increased luck of the little son-in-law?

Well...Jiang Junli's wealth is already very good. If he wants to strengthen it...

A middle-aged man ran over in the rain without holding an umbrella. After rushing into the bookstore, he hurriedly said to the old man, "Uncle Cao is not good. My aunt just vomited food again. I went to ask the doctor to come over. The doctor came over."

After looking at it, I just said that the situation is not good."

"Thank you, sir!" The old man tremblingly accepted the banknote, hurriedly took out the land deed, and went through the transfer procedures with Xinghe.

Books were rare at this time. Although engraving and printing existed, their popularity was not high. Most of the books sold in bookstores were copied by hand.

The shopkeeper of the bookstore is an old man with a long beard. When he sees people coming, he warmly welcomes them and even recommends some newly arrived books.

The old man's expression suddenly changed, "This, this..."

"When did I pay attention to the usefulness of the things I bought?" Jiang Junli curled his lips, "Just find someone to look at it. If you don't want to sell books, just find some other way to make a living."

Just now, my son-in-law was still thinking about fried fish and mutton bone soup, so the waiter from the Tuantou shop brought them to his door.

Do whatever you want to do.

That look looks so pitiful.

Seeing this, Jiang Junli couldn't bear it, so he simply said to the old man, "I bought this shop."

And it’s so expensive.

It was raining again outside at this time, and some rain was falling through the door into the shop.

All your wishes come true, that's what I mean.

The old man did not have a seriously ill wife, but because he saw Jiang Junli's generous spending, he and the middle-aged man jointly acted in a show, trying to look pitiful in front of Jiang Junli and get him to pay for the shop.

One thousand taels of silver.

As he spoke, the old man wiped his tears with his sleeve.

This street can be considered prosperous, and the nearby shops are doing very well. Each shop has a tall and spacious door, but this bookstore has a dilapidated door and a narrow interior, which looks quite out of place with many of the shops around it.

Xinghe looked at the house deed and land deed, frowning, "Master, it seems like there is no use in buying this shop."

But the business of this bookstore is not good, so the wages paid to the copyists are naturally not high. Naturally, the books are not of high quality, or they are not cherished, but they are just books that can be seen everywhere.

"Young gentleman, the price of my shop is not cheap, you probably won't be able to pay that much money." The old man sobbed.

"Oh? How expensive is this?" Jiang Junli raised his eyebrows.

It's best to lose money.

Xinghe knew his young master's temperament, so he didn't say anything more and just randomly found a clerk to look after the shop.

After two days of watching, the clerk forgot to blow out the candle beside the bed when he was keeping vigil in the shop. As a result, the candle fell down and ignited the books on the corner of the table, and a raging fire broke out in the book shop.

Fortunately, the waiter woke up from the heat and called the neighbors to come and put out the fire in time, thus a disaster was avoided. However, the fire was ruthless and the shop was filled with flammable books. The fire almost completely destroyed the shop.
