After binding the loving mother system, I was so bad

The chief clerk was restless that morning, as if there were nails under his butt, and he couldn't sit still. When it was time to get off work at noon, he didn't even eat the free meal provided by the county government and ran home in a hurry.

"Why did you come back so early today?" The chief clerk's wife was surprised. Before she could get a reply, she saw the chief clerk slam the door shut and start rummaging through the drawers.

"What are you doing? Or has something serious happened?" The wife of the Chief Clerk was confused.

The chief clerk was sweating profusely while flipping through the books and asked anxiously, "The family next door wants to sell their house. How much is the asking price?"

The chief clerk is a local and this house was passed down from his ancestors.

During the wars of the previous dynasty, Kyoto was in ruins and nine out of ten houses were empty.

The chief clerk's great-grandfather bought this small piece of land while the price was low and built two or three houses, thus having a place to stay in Kyoto.

Without the pressure of rent, Zhu Bo's family actually lives a pretty good life.

My next-door neighbor is from another place. He came to Kyoto and opened a small shop. He supported his family of seven with just one person's salary and lived a very difficult life.

This young official from Beijing was considered capable. He sought a job in a distant place, and his family of seven decided to sell their house and move to another place.

The chief clerk originally had no intention of buying the house next door, but when he saw the wife of Marquis Yongchang, he was tempted by the fact that she was so optimistic about the real estate market in Kyoto.

The wife of the chief clerk rolled her eyes and said, "Don't mess with this money. This is for your son to marry a wife and for your daughter to use as a dowry! If you buy the house next door, you won't get much rent. When will you be able to make it back?"

The chief clerk's eyes widened and he scolded, "What do you know, woman? I finally got this information after much trouble! Do you know who I met today?"

The wife of the chief clerk closed the box of silver and sat on it, saying, "No matter who you meet, you are not allowed to touch this silver!"

The chief clerk was very disappointed: "I have seen Lao Jiu. Lao Jiu bought twelve houses and ten shops in one go, and they are going to be owned by Baichuan Academy! Who is the principal of Baichuan Academy? She is the famous wife of Marquis Yongchang! Why did she buy these houses? She must be making money!"

"I'm telling you, if you miss this opportunity, you'll never find it again! With all the savings we've saved over the years, we'd be lucky enough to buy out our neighbor's house!"

The wife of the chief clerk hesitated: "Are you sure it was the wife of the Marquis of Yongchang who said that?"

"How can this be false? When the deposit is handed in tomorrow, I will verify it. If it really is in the name of Yongchuan Baichuan Academy, we have to buy the house next door no matter what!"

The wife of the chief clerk moved her butt off the box and said through gritted teeth, "Okay, they are in a hurry to sell it, we have the right of first refusal, let's negotiate the price carefully, maybe we can save a few strings of money!"

After saying this, the wife of the Chief Clerk thought of the seven or eight brothers from her mother's side.

They are all good at making money, but none of them want to get married. Let's talk about whether to get married first, let's buy the house first!

The wife of the chief clerk took off her apron and said as she walked away, "Call a few idle men to order some takeout today. I'll go inform the brothers at home and tell them to find a house quickly."

When the chief clerk heard this, he immediately thought of his good brothers.

He is the only child in their family. If it weren't for the help of his brothers over the years, his family would have been eaten up by others before he became the chief clerk!

Thinking of this, the chief clerk could no longer sit still and immediately ran to his brothers' homes.

"What? Who? The wife of the Marquis of Yongchang bought twelve houses and ten shops? Is she so optimistic about the housing prices in Kyoto?"

What you say will never reach the second person, but once a secret reaches the second person, it is no longer a secret.

By the same token, the news that the wife of Marquis Yongchang bought a house and a shop spread throughout Kyoto within a few days.

"Is the wife of the Marquis of Yongchang crazy? Why did she buy these houses?"

“It must be fake!”

"What do you know? I heard from the wife of the Marquis of Yongchang that the housing prices in Kyoto will rise to tens of thousands of guan in the future!"

"Haha, you must have heard it wrong. How is this possible? Absolutely impossible!"

In Fuquan Teahouse, tea drinkers were arguing over whether the housing prices in Kyoto would rise or fall, and if so, how much would they rise to?

A man dressed as a government servant whispered, "The wife of the Marquis of Yongchang bought more than this. Think about it, with her wealth, could she only buy twelve houses? I guess it must be one hundred and twenty!"

"That makes sense!"

The yamen runner became even more excited, and started to tell everyone the latest news: "Our chief clerk also went around to collect money a few days ago and bought the house next door. Several of his brothers also started to collect money to buy houses. So did his seven or eight brothers-in-law!"

"Oh? Does your chief clerk know any inside information?"

The yamen runner laughed and said, "How would I know if I know the inside information? I only know one thing, he has a close relationship with the ninth of the ten brothers in Baichuan Academy, Prefect Song!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone knew what was going on. It turned out that people had known for a long time that the wife of Marquis Yongchang was going to take over the Kyoto real estate, so she took the initiative.

From this perspective, it seems almost certain that the wife of Marquis Yongchang bought a house.

Soon the news spread in Kyoto.

"The wife of the Marquis of Yongchang has bought hundreds of houses. She is sure that the housing prices in Kyoto will rise!"

"What?! The price of houses in Kyoto is ten times higher! Oh my god, how can we afford this?"

Some people had sad faces and sighed.

Soon, the neighbor next door slapped him in the face: "You said that as if the house price didn't increase, you could afford to buy a house now."

The man suddenly realized and clapped his hands, saying, "Yeah, why should I worry? I can't afford it anyway. Even if the house price goes up to the sky, what does it have to do with me?"

Those who cannot afford to buy a house continue to live their lives in peace and contentment and happily.

The person who happened to be able to buy the house was dumbfounded.

An imperial censor enthusiastically went to the homeowner to sign the agreement, but unexpectedly the homeowner regretted the sale and refused to sell.

"Why not sell it?" The censor's eyes were red.

The owner raised his lip and said, "My family was in urgent need of money, so I sold it at a low price. I heard that the housing prices in Kyoto are going to rise. If I sell it at a low price again, wouldn't I be a fool? If you really want to buy it, you can pay 100 more kan."

The censor jumped up and down: "Who told you that the housing prices in Kyoto will rise?"

The owner of the house raised his chin towards the bustling crowd on the street outside and said, "Everyone in Kyoto knows about this! The wife of Marquis Yongchang swallowed up a thousand houses in one go."

The censor gasped. One thousand houses, what does that mean? How much does that cost? Even if the wife of the Marquis of Yongchang had a rich dowry, she couldn't possibly come up with so much money!

We must report her! Not only is the money from unknown sources, but it is also driving up prices and affecting people's livelihoods!
