No script time travel, the general helped me rise to the top

The next day, Yangyang arrived at the place where Ke had an appointment on time.

Since it was confirmed yesterday that the original evidence in Ke's hand was the bill mentioned by Wang Er, Yangyang wanted to see what Ke would use to get the land deed in her hand today.

Still in the market, without Tang Yuwei following her today, Yangyang felt much more comfortable!

Fortunately, she did not tell Tang Yuwei yesterday that she would come today, so that she would not be timid and find out nothing.

"Miss Xue is a man of her word. I thought you wouldn't come today!"

As it had rained all night, the entire ground was wet and muddy. Ke quickly put away his umbrella, shook off the rain on his sleeves, and sat down on the bench in the teahouse.

Yangyang didn't know why, but it seemed like there was something else behind what Ke said, and she didn't want to speculate too much, "Aunt Ke, I won't be polite with you. Did you bring what I want?"

Ke blinked her eyelids several times quickly, and looked at Yangyang with a scheming smile, "Miss Xue, please stop keeping me in suspense. Haven't you already got what you wanted?"

"Aunt Ke is really well-informed!" Yangyang certainly understood that after the analysis by the man in the black hat yesterday, Aunt Ke would definitely think about it, but Yangyang did not expect that Aunt Ke would ask so directly.

Yangyang put down the tea bowl in her hand, looked up and looked directly into Mrs. Ke's eyes. Her bright and clear eyes made Mrs. Ke feel a little flustered. "Since Aunt Ke no longer has what I want, do you still want the deed to this shop?"

Mrs. Ke frowned, realizing that Yangyang seemed to know that she was eager to get the deed. She looked a little uneasy, but she couldn't expose herself too much. "It's just a few shops, but Miss Xue is so calculating. This deal has fallen on my head."

"Buy?" Yangyang looked at the rain that began to fall again with a worried look on her face, and said provocatively, "These shops are cheap and expensive, but it depends on who wants them! Since Aunt Ke is not very interested, Yangyang will just leave."

"Alas!" Ke said.

Thinking about what Mr. Gao under the black hat said to her yesterday, her plan had already failed. If she couldn't get the land deed back today, then she would have ruined everything and might be punished.

Mrs. Ke said anxiously, "Good Miss Xue, tell me quickly, what do you want? One thousand gold coins?"

"Three thousand gold?" This number alone was enough for Yangyang to calculate for a while. It seemed that this deed was really important to Ke and the people behind her. Yangyang looked at Ke, who had her hands clasped on the table, looking extremely nervous.

Yangyang didn't want to test her anymore. "Aunt Ke is really a wealthy woman. What if Yangyang doesn't want the gold?"

"Then what do you want to do?" Mrs. Ke clenched her fists, thinking that Yangyang was teasing her.

Since Mrs. Ke was so impatient, Yangyang took advantage of the situation and asked, "Aunt Ke, why does she insist on having the land deed? Considering the land price in Jingwei, these three shops are far less than the price."

"Why are you asking so many questions? If there are a few more shops in Jingwei City, it would be great even if we could collect rent. Besides, the Xue family is an imperial merchant, so why are you afraid that you won't be able to recover your costs?"

Mrs. Ke argued cunningly, but from her urgent and somewhat panicked tone, Yangyang could tell that this was definitely not the real reason.

"Oh! Yangyang just found out today that a county magistrate's annual salary is actually so much, and Aunt Ke was so generous that she took out three thousand gold at once. Even if it was my father, he would have to spend some money to get so much gold."

Yangyang's words made Mrs. Ke suddenly at a loss for words. She had not expected that the girl from the Xue family would be so difficult to deal with!

So Mrs. Ke changed her attitude again and said with a smile, "Ms. Xue is a girl in the boudoir, how can she understand the ins and outs of this? You can't rely on my husband, of course. Anyway, you won't suffer any loss with three thousand gold."

"Of course I won't suffer any loss, but this was given to me by my grandmother for safekeeping. I will take the risk if I sell it to you. How can I feel at ease if you don't explain it to me clearly?" Yangran pretended to be embarrassed.

But Ke was a man of many thoughts and a seasoned man, so how could he let Yangyang ask such a question?

"Miss Xue, you don't want to do business with me, do you? You are just kidding me!" Mrs. Ke slammed the table, causing the tea in the tea bowls on the table to scatter.

Yangyang was least afraid of such scoundrels, and naturally was not frightened by Ke's words and actions. "Aunt Ke, why don't you just tell Yangyang what you are going to do with the deed? Maybe, I will consider giving it to you!"

"Miss Xue is so arrogant." Mrs. Ke understood Yangyang's purpose and didn't dare to make a decision on her own. Most importantly, she had no way to answer this question. "Three thousand gold, if you are willing, let's make a deal now. If not, I will find a way myself!"

Unable to get any information, Yangyang could only watch as Ke disappeared into the drizzling rain holding an umbrella.

The sentence that she would find a way on her own clearly showed her perseverance in pursuing the title deed.

Fortunately, the deeds are now in her hands. As long as she takes care of these shops for one day, she will definitely be able to find out the truth.

On the way back to the city, I passed by one of the shops in the West Market, which happened to be the Xue family's Nisangfang, a two-story silk shop.

"Miss, the man standing at the door seeing you off is the eldest son of the Second Master, Xue Duanhua."

After receiving the old lady's order, Yangyang asked Biluo to check the basic management status of the three shops in his hands.

This Nisangfang is managed by Xue Duanhua.

And Xue Duanhua has inherited his father, Mr. Xue Erye's smooth-talking and power-seeking personality. He may be a dishonest businessman, but when it comes to integrity, he will definitely ruin the reputation of the Xue family as the royal merchants in a few days!

Before Yangyang came forward to say hello, Xue Duanhua came over with a smile on his face after seeing Yangyang's clothes. His expression was disgusting, "Miss, our store has all kinds of silks and satins. You have come to the right place!"

"Oh! Better than Jinxiu Pavilion?"

People in Jingwei City naturally recognize Jinxiu Pavilion, whose styles and materials have always been forward-looking.

Although the Xue family is an imperial merchant, the family has been in decline after years of management by Old Lady Xue, and the styles have remained unchanged, so they are naturally becoming inferior to those of the Jinxiu Pavilion.

Seeing that Xue Duanhua was working so hard, Yangyang wanted to make things difficult for him to see if he was really as others said he was, and whether the old lady was interfering!
