Three more days later, Ya Shi sent someone to deliver a message, saying that the time had been agreed upon, and it would be tomorrow.
Just ask Shen Wan to go directly to the yamen gate and wait tomorrow tomorrow, and take the remaining three thousand taels of silver with her.
The next day, Shen Wan took Hui'er to the Yamen. She arrived half a quarter of an hour early, and Yamo was already waiting at the door of the Yamen.
The Ning family members hadn't arrived yet, so Shen Wan and Ya Yi stood at the door waiting.
By the time three quarters passed, Shen Wan was already furious, and this person from the Ning family was belatedly arriving.
This person from the Ning family is the second master of the Ning family. He is in his mid-thirties. When he arrived, he did not apologize for being late.
Instead, he casually pointed at Shen Wan and asked Yaji, "Is this the person who wants to buy my tea mountain?"
He didn't expect it to be a woman. Wasn't there a man in her family? She ran out to show off.
Yaji smiled and nodded: "Yes, this is Mrs. Shen."
"Mrs. Shen, this is Mr. Ning Er."
There are two masters in the Ning family, one is the eldest master and the other is the second master. Because Mrs. Ning is still alive and the eldest master Ning is a filial scholar, the two brothers have not separated their families yet.
The eldest man is a civil servant. He is forty years old and still struggling for the scientific examination. The second man does not like to study and takes care of the family's shop and property.
Mr. Ning Er said "Oh" and glanced at Shen Wan again, "Then go in!"
Shen Wan didn't say anything. He knew she was already angry, so he carefully said with a smile: "Mrs. Shen, let's go in!"
Shen Wan lowered her eyelids, turned around and walked into the Yamen.
Hui'er glared at Mr. Ning Er unhappily. This man was really rude. He kept people waiting for so long without even apologizing.
The four of them entered the yamen and went to Bo, the master in charge of household registration and land, to change the title deed of the Ning family's tea mountain to Shen Wan's. Shen Wan gave the remaining money to Mr. Ning Er, and the original title deed was invalidated. From then on, Chashan’s surname was Shen.
After making the changes, the four of them left the Yamen.
Walking to the yamen gate, Mr. Ning Er said to Shen Wan: "That tea mountain was handed down from my ancestors. Now that it is sold to you, you have to take good care of it."
Shen Wan felt funny when she heard it, and said with a sneer: "Since it is an ancestral property, it should not be sold easily."
Is it honorable to sell off the ancestral property? After selling it all, you still have the nerve to ask her to take good care of it. She bought the tea mountain, not the Ning family hired a tea mountain caretaker. What he said was really interesting.
Just such a sentence made Mr. Ning Er show a look of shame and annoyance on his face.
Hui'er answered: "Madam, I don't know that life is not going well these days. I have no choice but to sell my ancestral property."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Ning Er, angrily pointed at Hui'er and yelled.
Hui'er's words are really on point. Mr. Ning Er really lost money in business and misappropriated the money from his father's family. In order to make up for the shortfall, he sold this ancestral property. And this matter, He also hid it from his eldest brother and my mother.
If this unprofitable tea mountain is not sold, within half a year, the Ning family will not even be able to pay their servants' monthly payments.
But only he and his housekeeper's wife knew about this, and no one else in the family knew about it. Everyone thought that the family's wealth was endless!
That prodigal Ruyu spent five hundred taels of silver last month to buy a square inkstone for that boy Huan'er.
"Who is talking nonsense?" Hui'er raised her chin and said, "I'm just telling the truth. If there is nothing wrong with any family, they will sell the property passed down by their ancestors?"
Yaji didn't say anything, but he felt that what Miss Hui'er said was right. This big family, even if they no longer live in their ancestral home, would not sell off their ancestral home and the property passed down by their ancestors.
Although the Ning family is from a scholarly family, they naturally value these things more. Now that Mr. Ning can sell the property passed down by his ancestors, it is obvious that the Ning family is only superficial.
