Hu Dao looked at Miss Rong, who was also about to leave the house, and he seed to understand sothing. Had he thought Miss Rong was worried about him, so she wanted to go herself?
"Take this silver with you and handle the deed. Also, I need to use the carriage first as I have to buy so things," Rong Yan said, dividing the silver into two portions and handing the larger packet to Hu Dao.
"You can keep the extra ten taels," she added.
Hu Dao imdiately said, "Miss Rong, there’s no need for..."
Before he could finish, Rong Yan waved her hand dismissively, "Just take it."
After saying this, she walked out and boarded the carriage.
Rong Jin was still with her this ti.
Because Rong Jin did not want to stay alone in the mansion.
Rong Yan figured that since she was buying things for him anyway, it was fine for him to co along.
Soone else was driving the carriage, and since Hu Dao wasn’t going to the governnt office by carriage and he couldn’t follow the siblings himself, he was naturally worried.
So he selected a few guards and instructed them in detail, "... You must protect Miss Rong and Young Master Rong well."
The nad guards loudly responded in unison, "Yes."
Rong Yan had no objections to these guards following them.
She instructed the coachman to set off...
Actually, she could have purchased the items from the Space Supermarket, but there were so things... she needed to actually see them firsthand, otherwise how could she explain the sudden appearance of these items?
First, they arrived at the grain store... After inquiring about the price of grain from the shopkeeper, she learned that the price outside was twice as expensive as in her Space Supermarket.
Even so, she purchased one hundred catties of rice, one hundred catties of white flour, plus one hundred catties of mixed grain flour...
Then she went to other stores... All the prices were two to three tis more expensive than in her Space Supermarket, so even five or six tis.
There were even so ten tis as expensive.
To be honest, when she was buying, it was sowhat painful to part with her money... and she vaguely had an idea for making money.
That was to use her space to buy and sell goods.
After all, in terms of supplies... her Space Supermarket was truly not lacking.
This could also be the most convenient way to make money.
Simple and effortless, why not do it?
Moreover, she would not sell at high prices; she would let the common folk buy grain at the sa prices as before.
Thinking this, her idea beca even more firm.
Originally thinking of seeking out that middle-aged interdiary again, she glanced at the street and saw it seed there were quite a few looking to rent stores.
So she decided to negotiate on her own.
"Sister, what’s wrong?" Rong Jin looked at her standing still for a long ti, and he beca sowhat concerned.
Rong Yan ca back to her senses, glanced down at Rong Jin’s worried eyes, and shook her head, "Sister is fine."
It just so happened that nearby there was a sign for a shop for rent, so she walked over.
She entered the shop to take a look... This place had a layout similar to the few from which she had purchased items; it was quite spacious.
She was very satisfied.
The shopkeeper, who had co out from the backyard, saw soone in his shop and imdiately approached, "Miss, may I ask what you would like to buy?"
His shop sold a variety of cheap miscellaneous goods.
Business was slow all day long.
Today, he was thrilled to have such a celestial-like dignitary enter his shop; it made him feel as if the place had been graced with nobility.
Rong Yan looked away from the surroundings and directly asked the shopkeeper: "Do you want to rent out this shop?"
The shopkeeper, montarily startled by her question, quickly realized what she ant and nodded vigorously, "Yes, that’s right, not only for rent, but if Miss wants to buy it, that is also possible."
He had long wanted to sell the shop since it wasn’t making any money.
Unfortunately, there was nobody interested in renting it, let alone buying it.
Rong Yan, hearing the word "buy," considered it and did not find it unacceptable.
"How much are you asking if you want to sell it?"
His eyes lit up upon hearing her inquiry about the price, "One hundred taels."
Rong Yan, hearing the price, thought about it; it wasn’t too expensive, after all, it was a shop.
Still, there was room to bargain.
"Eighty taels."
Upon hearing her offer, the shopkeeper’s face showed signs of distress, "Miss, this price is... quite steep. Let’s say 95 taels! The location of my shop is quite good, and the shop is spacious. Not only that, there is a small courtyard behind with three rooms, a small kitchen, plus a well—it would be no problem at all if you wanted to house a servant’s family there."
Facing the distinguished Miss, he certainly didn’t expect her to live there.
Rong Yan looked at him, "Ninety taels, sell if you will, otherwise... forget it."
The shopkeeper, upon hearing 90 taels, clenched his teeth and said, "Alright, then! Ninety taels it is."
Selling it for so money was still good.
Rong Yan turned her head and signaled the guards waiting outside to co in.
She took out 90 taels of silver, "Take this and go to the governnt office to complete the procedures; Hu Dao should still be there."
"Yes," the guard promptly acknowledged, taking the silver.
The shopkeeper had not expected things to go so smoothly; his shop was indeed sold.
In his excitent, he said, "Miss, wait a mont, I will go get the house deed..."
He happily went back through the little door to the backyard.
Before long, he ca out, followed by a woman.
"Miss, this is my humble wife; I will let her clean up the place. Also, here are the keys to the shop, you take them. I will go with your guard to the governnt office to transfer ownership now."
Rong Yan nodded, "Go ahead!"
After the shopkeeper left, the woman cautiously spoke up: "Miss, my husband said I only need to tidy up so of the account books and such, but as for everything else in the shop... he said to leave it all here."
"You can take these things away," said Rong Yan, who had inspected them; these miscellaneous goods... weren’t worth much.
When the woman heard she didn’t want them, her eyes lit up, "Then I will clean the place up for you now."
"There’s no rush, anyti before tomorrow will do."
"No need for tomorrow, it will be ready in a while." There weren’t many things in the shop to begin with, and even the backyard... was actually empty.
Rong Yan nodded, considering her plans for remodeling the shop.
Back in the governnt office, just as Hu Dao had obtained the house deed and was about to return, he saw the guards who were supposed to be protecting Miss Rong appearing before him.
This made him anxious; he thought sothing had happened to Miss Rong.
"Why are you here instead of protecting the young lady?"
The guard imdiately explained that Rong Yan had bought a shop.
Hu Dao: ...
So, in just this short span of ti, Miss Rong had bought another shop? Was she planning to open a business?
It was surprising; he had not realized Miss Rong was so wealthy.
"Alright, I got it, I’ll take care of the rest. Hurry back."
It was most important to ensure the safety of the people; otherwise, if sothing really happened, they would not be able to deal with the consequences.
