Wang Xifeng's mother-in-law, and even the number of relatives in each room of the Jia family suddenly increased several times, and they begged her for help in transferring their son to Huixian Building.

After gaining face, Wang Xifeng's attitude towards Jia Lian also changed a lot, and Aunt Xue also praised Xue Pan repeatedly.

Jia Lian and Xue Pan suddenly felt as if they had turned over.

The restaurant's business was improving, but Jia She and Jia Zhen became worried.

Jia She asked someone to call Jia Zhen to the east courtyard of Rongguo Mansion. As soon as she opened her mouth, she complained that the so-called one-month deadline should not be set.

When the time comes, Shi Zhongkui regrets it, or thinks he sold it cheaply, and delaying the handover will also be troublesome.

Moreover, he would already be a Jinshi by then. Could he really go to court over a restaurant?

Jia Zhen herself regretted it at this time, "Why don't you discuss it with the old lady and hand it over in advance?"

Jia She shook his head, "It's useless. The old lady is a righteous person. How could she use her status as an elder to suppress her grandson-in-law just for the sake of things that happen a few days earlier or a few days later?"

Jia Zhen sighed in her heart, saying that Jia's mother was righteous, it would be better to say that this old lady in the Jia family was the shrewdest.

Unless Shi Zhongkui really regrets it, it is indeed impossible for the old lady to intervene in this matter at this time.

"It's better to call Lian'er," Jia Zhen suggested, "Lian'er and my uncle are brothers-in-law after all, and going to Shi's house is just like going to your own home.

He must know me better than we do."

When Jia She heard this, he hesitated.

If it hadn't been too obvious that he was not doing well, he would have long ago taken over the 20% shares held by Jia Lian and Yingchun in the name of his father's authority and Jia Lian's family had not yet separated.

Therefore, the last thing Jia She wanted at this time was for Jia Lian to meet Shi Zhongkui, as he was deeply afraid that Shi Zhongkui would offer up the half of Yingchun's shares.

However, Jia Lian is not a good person. Jia She knows his son very well. This boy will definitely embezzle money from the restaurant.

After thinking about it, Jia She said with some heartache, "Zhen'er, since my uncle likes calligraphy and painting, why don't you come to the door with a gift and ask in person?"

As expected, Jia Zhen was unwilling. After finding a reason to refuse, Jia She finally had to find two antiques that she didn't like so much, and asked Jia Zhen to take out two of them and take them to Shi Zhongkui's house.

Shi Zhongkui collected the gift naturally.

But he said he was willing, but Jia's mother, Jia Zheng and several generations of Jia's elders were required to bear witness.

Once the handover is completed, money and goods are in love.

From now on, whether the restaurant makes money or loses money has nothing to do with you, and there is no possibility of refunds or returns.

This was not difficult for Jia She and Jia Zhen, who were eager to get the restaurant.

Three days later, Shi Zhongkui carefully read the contract, witnessed by Jia Zheng, two generational family elders, Yu Honggao and Shi Guangzhu, who came specially to repair the country.

Jia Zhen and Jia She signed and sealed the contract.

Collect your share and everyone will be happy.

After seeing off the Jia family, Yu Honggao said happily, "It's best to sell the restaurant and prepare for the imperial examination with peace of mind.

Your senior brother has been diligently preparing for the exam at home these days."

Shi Zhongkui nodded, and then thought that he still owed Xia Shouzhong 4,500 taels of silver.

Yu Honggao and Shi Guangzhu were left to have a meal, and Shun'er was asked to prepare gifts before they were sent away.

Of course, fresh peaches are indispensable.

There were 20 people in the family, a total of 20 kilograms. Only then did Yu Honggao and Shi Guangzhu leave with satisfaction.

He gave him the money promised to Xia Shouzhong, and Xia Shouzhong came forward as expected.

After hinting at the price, Shi Zhongkui acquiesced to the price of 5,000 taels, and then really planned to prepare for the imperial examination with peace of mind.

But within half a month, Xue Pan came to the door angrily and said, "Brother, I plan to sell the restaurant members in my hands for 50,000 taels of silver."

Shi Zhongkui was stunned. He thought that even if Xue Pan was angry about what happened at the restaurant, it would only take two to three months, or even more than half a year.

When the time comes, I will suggest that he sell it.

Unexpectedly, he came to the door even half a month later.

"Who wants to buy yours?"

"Who else could it be?" Xue Pan sat down on the chair with a red face and said angrily, "It could not be my good cousin Wang Ren, who was angry with me for asking for a dowry of 50,000 taels of silver from his Wang family for my sister.

Now I am instigating my uncle to force me to study on the pretext that my younger brother is not good at literature or martial arts.

Damn you, don’t think I don’t know that this is jealous brother. I earn more than ten thousand taels of silver a year in a restaurant.”

Shi Zhongkui shook his head after hearing this. If Wang Ren was looking for Wang Ziteng's wife, or Aunt Xue, this would be credible.

But how could Wang Ren have the courage to take advantage of his biological father, Wang Ziteng?

This matter must have been spread by rumors, but Wang Ziteng must have known about it but not said anything, and acquiesced.

"Go and tell Lian Er that if the Wang family offers a suitable price, you can simply sell it to him together."

Xue Pan didn't think Jia Lian could keep his shares at all, "What's the price?"

Shi Zhongkui smiled and said, "90,000, you will get 60,000 when the time comes, and Lian Er will get 30,000, but it's hard to say whether he will agree."

This has doubled in less than a month. Xue Pan is willing. As for whether Jia Lian is willing or not, that is his business. "But where is the second sister of the Jia family?"

Shi Zhongkui immediately shouted, "This is my business, why are you so verbose?"

Xue Pan laughed, everyone is yours, it is indeed your business.

A few days later, on March 26, there were only five days left before the palace examination.

Xue Pan came to the door again and said that the deal was done, but because Jia Lian was really unwilling to sell, he only got 50,000 taels of silver.

After Shi Zhongkui nodded, he frowned again.
Chapter completed!
