Chapter 18: The Boss Girl

Baiyun came over to support the old lady: "Grandma, I am the waiter."

Zhong Yi looked at the three people, his grandfather and grandson, and narrowed his eyes slightly. The Jinghong Tower in Zhending Mansion has a history of 50 to [-] years. If he said that there was no backer behind him, he would not believe it even if he were killed.

After Taizu of this dynasty established the dynasty, he once implemented the "red deed". Both the land deed and the house deed must be registered at the Yamen. In addition to the seller, buyer and middleman, the deed must also have the name of the owner of the house deed.

It is said that it was proposed by the princess of the town. However, it was only implemented for a year, and there was a lot of resistance. From the important ministers in the court to the small landowners in the village, they were very resistant to going to the Yamen to replace the deed and then register it. Some local yamen wrote a letter saying that everything was going to be done after the new dynasty was established, and they really didn't have the spare manpower to do these trivial tasks. Soon, it became clear that the red deed system existed, and in the third year, it was completely abolished.

To this day, this dynasty is the same as the previous dynasty. There are no names of everyone in the fish scale book. If the fish scale book is lost and the person who finds it works, the property may be his.

Therefore, the powerful and well-informed Jinyiwei did not know who the real owner of Jinghong Tower was.

The reason why they pay attention to Jinghong Tower is only because of the ground-breaking word "Jinghong".

Even the local officials in Zhending always turn to the two shopkeepers of Jinghong Tower when they want to apportion money and food.

Zhong Yi looked deeply, and the somewhat confused "grandma" finally believed that this high-ranking official of the Imperial Guard was not his great-grandson.

The old lady was not sorry at all, but became energetic: "Oh my, the young man is so handsome. How old is he? Are you married?"

Zhong Yi had a black line on his face, but he still shook his head patiently: "No."

"Why not get married? Ouch, you are too old to get married yet. If you have money or not, you must first marry a wife. Young man, let me tell you, this is getting married."

The two shopkeepers, black and white, were so embarrassed that they were about to cry. They kept smiling and bowing to Zhong Yi. Zhong Yi snorted coldly: "Old lady, put aside the marriage matter. I have lived in Zhending for a long time. Do you want to visit the capital? visit?"

Heitu and Baiyun's hearts sank. Are they going to take away Grandma?

The old lady nodded quickly: "Do you want to go on a blind date in the capital? Okay, okay, go on a blind date and get a wife, go on a blind date and get a wife!"

At this moment, a royal guard walked in quickly, and Zhong Yi asked, "What's the matter?"

"Sir, there is a person outside, claiming to be the owner of Jinghong Tower." The person said.

The air in the hall was stagnant for a moment, and even Zhong Yi was startled: "The owner of Jinghong Tower?"

"Yes, she said she is the owner of Jinghong Tower." The visitor repeated.

Zhong Yi's eyes glanced at the three grandparents again. The old lady was still immersed in the joy of going to the capital to give him a blind date, while the two shopkeepers were obviously relieved, just like helpless waiters facing the customers who came to make things difficult for them. Suddenly I heard that the shopkeeper was here, and I was finally able to get rid of this mess.

They are shopkeepers, and their relationship with the boss is actually about the same as that between the shopkeeper and his waiters.

"Invite him in." Zhong Yi said calmly.

Unexpectedly, I would be able to meet this mysterious owner.

However, when Jin Yiwei walked in with his boss, Zhong Yi was stunned person who came was a little girl of fourteen or fifteen years old, wearing a simple green dress and a green skirt. At first glance, she looked like a Xiaojiabiyu who was out shopping.

But at the second glance, Zhong Yi saw a pair of eyebrows flying into the temples, and a pair of eyes as bright as obsidian under the eyebrows.

The little girl walked up to Zhong Yi. She nodded slightly to the grandfather and grandson first, and said gracefully, "He Ran, the daughter of the common people, is the owner of this place. When she heard that there were distinguished guests, she hurried over and kept you waiting for a long time. .”

There were still many guests in Jinghong Tower who had not had time to leave. They were all concentrated on one side of the hall. At this moment, everyone's eyes were all on He Ran. Even the guests on the second and third floors had the courage to leave from the private rooms. Come out, lie on the railing and look into the hall.

Jinghong Tower has been open for decades, and this was the first time they met the owner of Jinghong Tower.

But this boss is so unexpected, she is actually a little girl?

real or fake?Could it be that he was an imposter?

The first and second shopkeepers of Jinghong Tower are here. If it is fake, will they not say anything? Zhong Yi heard the whispers, but he did not reprimand him. He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked directly into He Ran's eyes: "Are you the owner of Jinghong Tower? Did you inherit it from your elders?"

He Ran smiled slightly: "Jinghong Tower is the dowry given to the little girl by her adoptive father."

Zhong Yi looked at the big shopkeeper Heitu: "Jinghong Tower has just changed owners? Why does no one in Zhending Mansion know about it?"

Kurotsuchi said quickly: "Replying to your lord, after our old club handed over Jinghong Building to our two brothers, they stopped interfering with it. It was not until the new owner came with the deed and seal not long ago that we knew that the old club had Jinghong Tower has been passed on to the new owner, sir, please rest assured, we have checked the deed and the seal over and over again and confirmed that they are authentic, Miss He is our new owner of Jinghong Tower."

The people watching the excitement upstairs and downstairs all gasped in unison.

This former boss is really big-hearted. He gave such a big Jinghong Tower to a little girl as a dowry?

Ouch, which old fool is this former boss? The family property will not be passed on to men, but to a girl? By the way, Miss He just said that Jinghong Tower was given to her by her adoptive father.

I understand, a childless old man has no biological flesh and blood, so he can only pass it on to his adopted daughter.

Of course, a woman could not inherit the family business unless she married someone else, so the Jinghong Tower could only be inherited in the form of dowry.

But this is still inheritance.

As for the clan, there are always sons and nephews in the clan. If there are no close relatives, there are also distant relatives. As long as they are from the same clan, the same clan, or even the same surname, there will always be men. In any case, it is not the turn of an adopted daughter to inherit the family business.

Regarding the inheritance of this Jinghong Tower, the old owner agreed, the new owner agreed, and the shopkeepers approved it. However, the people watching felt that the name was not justified, and no, we will not agree! Zhong Yi's ears were very good, and although they were all whispers, he could faintly hear some of them.

He smiled contemptuously and looked at He Ran again: "Where is Miss He's registered residence and where does she live in Zhending Mansion?"

He Ran gave another salute: "The little girl is from the Zhending family. She lives in Wangquan Hutong. Her father's name is above and below Qing. He once served as a doctor in the former Ministry of Rites."

The little girl had a clear voice and articulate words. She made it clear that she was the daughter of the He family, and her father was the He Jinshi who was idle at home because of Ding You. (End of chapter)

In their past lives, Shen Zhinian was arranged by her father to marry his impoverished student, while Dijie was selected for imperial selection. Before even sharing the Emperor’s bed, she was granted the title of Guiren. The world believed that Dijie’s status was beyond compare, while her’s was utterly insignificant. Yet who would have thought—years later, the impoverished scholar Shen Zhinian had married would achieve top honors in three consecutive imperial examinations, rise to the rank of Marquis, and be appointed as Prime Minister. She, in turn, became the youngest First-Rank titled Lady in the empire.

Her Dijie was eagerly vying for the chance to marry the impoverished scholar, intending to send her into the imperial selection instead. She couldn’t be more pleased. That scholar, while talented, was arrogantly ambitious. Moreover, his household was far from welcoming—he had a harsh mother and a difficult younger sister.

Even so, could someone tell her why His Majesty’s gaze upon her was growing increasingly… strange? Protagonist: Shen Zhinian, Nangong Xuanyu
