In Dayan, books are very expensive.

A hand-written book can be sold for three taels of silver.

If it is an original book, it is even more expensive, and can cost hundreds of taels of silver.

Those who can be sent by Mrs. Mu to monitor Qiao Nuanyu are all people with good fist skills, but their brains are not very good. To be precise, they have developed limbs and simple minds.

This time Qiao Nuanyu came out, she took out all the most expensive old books in her family and sold them to the shopkeeper of the bookstore. The shopkeeper was naturally happy. Qiao Nuanyu sold only seventy taels of books.

This is giving myself money, how can the shopkeeper make a difficult situation?

Besides, Qiao Nuanyu has been buying and selling books at his house, which has also led many romantic talents to come to this bookstore. She just wanted to meet a beautiful woman by chance and took the opportunity to say a few words, and she was also happy.

The shopkeeper settled the price. Twenty orphans were written, seventy taels, and the total price was 1,400 taels.

He asked Qiao Nuanyu to read books casually in the bookstore, and he wanted to go to the accounting room to get the silver notes.

Qiao Nuanyu had no objection to this, so she just looked around the bookshelf and finally chose three travel notes about the Southern Jin Kingdom.

She was about to go to the Southern Jin State. She didn't have time to understand the customs of the Southern Jin State, but her younger brother had time to read books at home.

Since that's the case, it's better to let my brother take a look more, it's always good.

So, when the shopkeeper came back with 1,400 taels, he saw that she had selected these three worthless books, and waved his hand and said that he had given it to Qiao Nuanyu.

Qiao Nuanyu quickly thanked her, put the 1,400 taels of silver notes in close proximity, and went out to buy vegetables with a basket.

She went to buy some vegetables first, and then went to the butcher to ask for some meat.

I don’t know what she said to the butcher, but the butcher happily gave Qiao Nuanyu some pig bones.

If you ask Qiao Nuanyu to come back tomorrow morning, you will definitely prepare the braised pork she wants for her.

Qiao Nuanyu gave her a hanging money and took the ingredients back to the house.

The spy told her truthfully about the movements here, and Mrs. Mu just listened to her and stopped paying attention to her.

Tomorrow, the Eighth Prince Ye Wen is coming to Jingzhou. The Xialiuyuan prepared for him is ready, and even the people who serve him have carefully selected Mrs. Mu.

After all, she is her grandson, how could she not take it to the top of her heart?

It was precisely because the Eighth Prince Ye Wen was about to come that her heart ignored Qiao Nuanyu. She didn't know that Qiao Nuanyu was selling her assets and making up money, just to take her younger brother to escape from Jingzhou and go to the Southern Jin State on the day she agreed with Qi Yan.

Qiao Nuanyu and the butcher said that she was coming to buy meat tomorrow, but there was another saying that she wanted to sell her house to him.

The butcher has always wanted to buy a better house for his son to get married.

The son of the butcher family is now a juren, with fame and fortune, and has already been decided to be the daughter of Yang Shouwei of Jingzhou. Both of them have passed the Ming Dynasty's bride and can get married in another half a year.

The butcher had two sons, the eldest son Congwen and the younger son Congwu, so he was valued by Yang Shouwei. Yang Shouwei was also the number one figure in Jingzhou and did not need to be afraid of Mrs. Mu.

That's why Qiao Nuanyu would find a butcher and sell the house to him.

Qiao Nuanyu's house has increased a lot over the years.

However, Qiao Nuanyu had to sell it to the butcher at the original purchase price, on the condition that she would pay the money and the house deed tomorrow.

The butcher did not respond to it, so he immediately expressed his intention to give him one day to prepare money.

After Qiao Nuanyu was busy with these things, she returned home and saw Qiao Jiaoyang packing up some expensive books and let Qiao Nuanyu sell them tomorrow.

Qiao Nuanyu responded and went to the kitchen to cook first.

The next day, Qiao Nuanyu sold books and houses, and it went very smoothly.

Mrs. Mu had not noticed something strange yet, because Shu Mansion on that day was very lively since the afternoon, and all the wealthy families in Jingzhou came.

Duan Chengyun also brought his daughter Duan Qianzhi to the banquet. When he arrived, Shu Wanglai came to greet him in person, "Head of Duan, please come in quickly."

"You are kind to me, Lord Shu."

Duan Chengyun held his fists and rituals, but he did not stand proud.

Shu Wanglai smiled, "I don't want to greet you well, I hope you can forgive me!"

"Mr. Shu is so serious. Everyone is here for the Eighth Prince. It is natural for him to welcome the Eighth Prince."

Duan Chengyun smiled but didn't laugh, but he didn't like Shu Wanglai this confused man.

His Royal Highness in Jingzhou never did these things that cost the people and were in trouble. He lived in the palace and saw no one quietly paying tribute to Empress Duan.

This is something that everyone knows and is used to.

As a result, the Shu Mansion made a big publicity about the eighth prince coming to Jingzhou, and even sent invitations to each family.

If you don’t do this, wouldn’t you give face?

If you come, what can you actually talk about with this eighth prince who is only twelve years old?

After all, it’s better to go home and count the money to come.

Everyone who came to the banquet smiled on their faces and scolded Shu Wanglai and Mrs. Mu in their hearts.

When Qi Yan came, Ye Chen did not follow him.

Ye Chen wanted to pay tribute to his mother. He didn't want to attend such a boring banquet, so he let Qi Yan go to the banquet alone. However, it cannot be said that he was not concerned about it, because he also gave Duan Luan beside him to Qi Yan.

Therefore, Qi Yan took Mo Huan, Mo Xi and Duan Luan to the Shu Mansion for a banquet.

Now, when he arrived at Shu Mansion, Qi Yan looked at him curiously.

I have to say that this Shu Mansion is indeed grand.

When Qi Yan arrived, Shu Wanglai was busy greeting the man, and Mrs. Mu came to greet him in person.

Mrs. Mu is already an old woman. Perhaps she has not suffered any blows over the years. In addition, Shu Wanglai is a fearful person, but she has made her life smoothly, and her appearance is well maintained, so she doesn't look old.

"See the Crown Princess."

Mrs. Mu stepped forward to salute with a smile on her face.

Qi Yan responded with a smile, "Mrs. Mu is exempt from gifts."

When Concubine Shu was awarded the reward, Mrs. Mu also received the first-class imperial edict.

Women are the most important. Among the women, Mrs. Mu does not need to salute too many people.

If Qi Yan is not the Crown Princess, it is difficult to get Mrs. Mu's salute!

Mrs. Mu just bent over slightly, then stood up, and asked someone to take Qi Yan to the table.

The arrival of the Crown Princess made the women feel a little uneasy.

No one has seen Qi Yan before, let alone get along with the Crown Princess. If you say the wrong thing, wouldn’t it implicate your family?

So, the originally lively scene was instantly unstoppable because of Qi Yan's arrival.

They were silently tilted their heads, either playing with handkerchiefs, drinking water, or looking around, but not talking.

As a result, the atmosphere on the female family became very strange.
