After Mu Jinzhi heard this, he counted with his big hands under the tea table. Two hundred and eighty thousand silver notes, one hundred and eighty thousand silver for a better house, one hundred thousand silver notes for a field, the rest for this year's pickles and the income from the orchard, and another portion for the antiques and dowry. The rest would be left to beg for a wife.
Sometimes, plans could not keep up with changes. Mu Jinzhi never would have thought that he would be so fortunate to be able to reach the capital.
Mu Jinzhi now wanted to prepare a dowry for Mu Rousang, but there was a lot of pressure, and after a few days of detailed discussion with Yang Zixuan, he began to ponder about it. The things that Yang Zixuan had bought were Jiangnan's tea leaves, porcelain ware, silkworm silk, Xiangzhou's cloud brocade and other exquisite items.
With a flip of her body, she saw Dong Xue who was cutting the wick of the lamp. Seeing her delicate skin, Dong Xue became distracted and turned her head and smiled, ”Young master, why aren't you asleep yet? This servant is not at liberty to serve Young Master today. ”
After Mu Jinzhi recovered from his illness, he had naturally put Dong Xue's face in his room. Upon hearing Yang Zixuan's words that day, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and couldn't express any more how intimate he was with Dong Xue, who was merely not too far away, so he kept his distance. When he heard Dong Xue's question, he shook his head and said: ”You have been following my grandmother to Shu Province for quite a while.
Dong Xue didn't know what he was thinking, for the past two days, Mu Jinzhi had been deliberately ignoring her. Seeing him take the initiative to talk to her, she was extremely happy, so she asked, ”Do you want to ask for something rare? ”This servant grew up in the north. This rare delicacy, as well as the colorful brocade, definitely tasted better than the pickled vegetables in the north.”
Mu Jinzhi said proudly: ”That pickled vegetable was made up by my sister. No one else could learn it, not even ten thousand people tried it.” He had also bragged about himself in front of Dong Xue.
Dong Xue didn't poke holes in him and asked, ”I heard the pork in Sichuan tasted better than the bacon in the surrounding area.”
”This won't do!” Mu Jinzhi shook his head decisively. He had heard that the Western Region was a place that produced cattle and sheep.
After thinking about it, he felt that he could take some mountain goods, but then thought of Mu Rousang's Cai Yi Pavilion. He wanted to pull her to make some pretty dresses so that Yang Zixuan could take her to the Western Regions to sell.
As he tossed and turned on the bed, his left hand was flying while his right hand was floating. The only thing he wanted to do was to immediately get up and knock on Yang Zixuan's door.
As soon as dawn broke, he called for Dong Xue to come into the room.
”Young Master?” Aren't you going to sleep a little longer? ” Dong Xue put on some clothes and walked in with a yawn.
Mu Jinzhi turned a blind eye to her alluring Chun Guang, he had no choice but to wave his hand and say: ”Hurry and see if Big Brother Yang is awake.”
Dong Xue looked at him in puzzlement, then looked at the sky outside, and only said, ”Young Master, Young Master Yang was drunk with you and your cousin last night!”
”Ugh!” ”I have forgotten about this. Go and tell the servants not to spread it to my sister's ears. If they do, they will get angry again.”
He couldn't sleep on the bed either. Fortunately Shi Shu had already woken up and saw Dong Xue leave the study room, so he washed his face and went to help her up. Dong Xue, ”…”
”Young Master, your servant saw that you haven't slept well for the past two days, but you're worried about the silver for the girl's dowry.”
Mu Jinzhi swept his eyes across him and asked: ”Do you have a good idea?”
”Young Master, how did you forget about our lady's Peach Blossom Wine?” Shi Shu immediately reminded him.
Mu Jinzhi raised his hand to his forehead and said, ”Yes! How could I have forgotten about this? I heard that she had been busy all spring, brewing over a hundred pots of Peach Blossom Wine and stored them in the cellar. ”
”Yes, young master. Why don't we go discuss with the young lady and sell these hundred pots of Peach Blossom Wine?”
Shi Shu had also thought about this for a long time during these two days.
This is how it is, think about it, when the Western Regions produces the grapes and wine, you must be a person who loves to drink alcohol. This Peach Blossom Wine tastes good, but after drinking it, it doesn't taste like wine, and it has a strong aftertaste.
He added something that was worth of silver and said: ”Shi Shu, there are a lot of ears and mushrooms in the mountain right now. After breakfast, you can go out and take care of everyone else.”
”Don't worry, I'll talk with Big Brother Yang first and ask him what's good for him to look at those things.”
Mu Jinzhi paced back and forth in the room until it was time for breakfast. Then, Yang Zixuan walked into the main hall for breakfast with his head lowered in a daze.
