Chapter 56 Dowry
"Well, Fourth Uncle, I want to do it."
If she doesn't open a restaurant, what can she sell to the system guy to earn points?
She had to work hard to repay her debts even though she was exhausted.
"Fourth Uncle, I saw a house for sale over there, why don't we go and ask about it?"
"You want to buy a house?"
Ye Dashi was surprised. He also saw a for sale sign on the door of that house, but it was a house along the street. As long as the door was modified, it could be used as a shop. The price of the house would definitely not be cheap.
Ye Dashi wanted to ask Ye Youran if she had so much money, both to buy a house and to open a restaurant, but he was worried that Ye Youran would think too much about her money.
Ye Dashi suppressed his words and said, "Wait for me here, I'll go find out more."
"Four uncle, I will go with you."
"It's cold here, so don't go. Just stay here and watch the donkey cart."
Ye Dashi went to inquire about it.
This damn weather is getting colder as the New Year approaches.
Ye Youran stood beside the donkey cart, stamping her feet in coldness.
"Miss Ye, are you coming to town?"
Suddenly, a familiar figure ran over and said very enthusiastically, "The Major General is drinking tea over there. Miss Ye, would you like to go in and say hello to the Major General?"
He is Wei Zijin's little follower.
Ye Youran has seen it.
Ye Youran glanced at the teahouse in front of him, stamped his feet and said, "I'm waiting for someone."
"Who is Miss Ye waiting for? Why don't you ask me to wait while Miss Ye goes in and has a cup of tea?"
"OK!"
Ye Youran grinned and agreed happily.
She was looking for Wei Zijin.
She wanted to open a restaurant and buy a house, and needed a large sum of money. She was trying to borrow money from Wei Zijin.
Wei Zijin is her fiancé, and it is appropriate for her to seek him out when she encounters difficulties.
Of course, the money is borrowed, not demanded.
She is not a beggar.
"Wei Zijin."
Ye Youran walked into the teahouse and realized that Wei Zijin was not alone, but with Liang Youqian.
Liang Youqian, the eldest grandson of Mrs. Liang, did not inherit the literary talent of Mrs. Liang, but he inherited the bravery of his uncle.
At the age of seventeen, he and Wei Zijin followed Duke Zhongyong to guard Shiban Town, killing countless enemies and making more than a dozen outstanding achievements.
"Miss Ye, why are you here?"
Wei Zijin's eyes were bottomless, "You came to this town alone?"
"No, there is my fourth uncle. I want to open a restaurant and buy a house to settle in the town."
Ye Youran smiled brightly, "Wei Zijin, I want to do business. I wonder if you, my fiancé, can support me with some money?"
"How much difference?"
"About a thousand taels!"
The price of houses in Shiban Town is low. A house facing the street only costs 500 to 600 taels of silver. If you open a restaurant... you can actually use up 1,000 taels of silver.
Liang Youqian jumped up and said, "One thousand taels, Ye Youran, you are so brave, just buy a house and open a restaurant, five hundred taels is enough."
"Then these one thousand taels should be considered as the betrothal gift."
She didn't want Wei Zijin's money in vain. If word spread, it would embarrass Wei Zijin.
"Bride price? Just you?"
Liang Youqian looked her up and down with disdainful eyes, "It's just a small bean sprout that hasn't grown up yet, how can it be worth a thousand taels?"
"I will make Wei Zijin feel that it is worth the money. I will spend one thousand taels on him as a betrothal gift, and after five years, I will definitely send a dowry of five thousand taels to the Wei family."
Five thousand taels, what a big statement!
Even in the capital, the dowry for some middle-class concubines is only five to six thousand taels of silver.
How can she, a village girl, afford five thousand taels of silver?
Liang Youqian didn't believe it at all.
But Wei Zijin took out a thousand taels of silver notes from his arms and handed it to her, "It's not a betrothal gift. My wife, Wei Zijin, is not that cheap. This is the pocket money I give you. You can spend it however you want."
