Chapter 1287 The Divorced Merchant's Daughter 9
Shu's father died.
After his family fortune was divided up, no one wanted to take care of him, a useless person who could die at any moment, so he died.
Three days.
It hasn't even been three days.
Because the ancestral graves had been burned once, the clan was afraid of spreading other rumors, so they naturally blamed all the dirty work on Shu's father.
Of course, this is not entirely unfair to him.
The Shu family handled his funeral arrangements rather hastily.
And so, Shu's father turned into a handful of yellow earth.
About three or four days later, Shu's mother followed closely behind.
She was even worse off than Shu's father. She didn't have a funeral at all. Her sisters from her maternal family, who had previously received much kindness from her, secretly took out some money, rolled her up in a straw mat, and buried her in a small pit.
The death was desolate.
All I heard is that she was calling out Shu Jiao's name when she died.
"Chi~"
Shu Jiao gently rocked the rocking chair, "It's only because I hurt myself that I keep thinking about the original owner."
These two, one helping and the other tacitly agreeing with that bastard surnamed Zhang, probably never imagined that one day they would end up like this.
"Speaking of it,"
Shu Jiao smiled slightly. "San'er, we're both doing a good deed."
look.
Shu's father and mother have both been laid to rest peacefully.
It's nothing like the original storyline.
Zhang Zizhao's second wife was so angered by the original owner that she hired people to harm the Shu family, causing Shu's father to die a gruesome death while traveling as a merchant, and Shu's mother to be repeatedly oppressed by the clan, losing all her family property, and ultimately dying a violent death as well.
With her intervention, those two at least died a quick and painless death.
Although I suffered a little from the poison, it didn't matter.
Shu Xi sat next to her, holding a Hangzhou chrysanthemum handkerchief in her hand.
Shu Jiao is cultivating her eye for all kinds of luxury goods in this era, just like the method used to cultivate someone in the world of the real and fake heiresses.
If you're given something good to look at and touch, you'll quickly learn what's valuable and what's worthless.
"mother,"
After looking at it for two seconds, Shu Xi suddenly asked, "Aren't I going to learn embroidery?"
"What kind of embroidery should I learn?"
Shu Jiao lazily raised her eyes to look at her, "There are plenty of embroiderers who will embroider for you. What you need to learn is not needlework, but how to appreciate its quality and how to use those embroiderers to get things done."
Shu Xi nodded slightly, seemingly understanding but not quite.
After the funeral arrangements for Shu's parents were completed, Shu Jiao took Shu Xi and headed straight for Xiangzhou on the coast.
During this dynasty, the Xing Dynasty did not prohibit maritime trade.
Therefore, many merchants came and went in Xiangzhou along the coast, and the sea was filled with merchant ships.
Xiangzhou, with its advantageous geographical location, was a bustling hub of maritime merchants.
No sooner had Shu Jiao arrived in Xiangzhou than she spent 120,000 taels of silver to purchase a private garden there.
Inside, the beams are made of huanghuali wood, the pillars are made of zitan wood, the camphor wood in the winding corridor still exudes fragrance, the road is paved with bluestone slabs, and there are artificial mountains carved from Taihu stones.
Where the naked eye can see, there are ancient plum, pine and osmanthus trees that are hundreds of years old; looking down, one can see famous flowers everywhere, some dark green and some bright red, with each of the sixteen Arhats in full bloom.
Of the 120,000 taels, not a single tael was wasted.
As for why this kind of garden would be sold?
hey~
Every family has a spendthrift son, right?
Shu Jiao: "From today onwards, I am a merchant from Miluo Island, and you are my only daughter, understand?"
"clear."
Shu Xi nodded, her eyes still somewhat dazed.
This garden...
Is she going to live here from now on?
Oh my god!
Shu Xi pinched her hand through the handkerchief, feeling that her life these past few days had been like a dream for her father!
“Our family used to be involved in overseas trade, and this is our first time coming to Daxing.”
Shu Jiao began to fabricate a background, "Your father, I raised..."
At this point, Shu Jiao paused for a moment.
Is it true that Zhang Zizhao was her kept male lover?
That won’t work!
She wouldn't even look at that kind of stuff; wouldn't that ruin her reputation?
"Your father was someone who tried to marry me, hoping to gain status through his daughter, but I killed him. Your maternal grandmother and grandfather both perished in a shipwreck while on a business trip."
Shu Jiao lowered her voice and said again, "As for your grandparents, they don't exist..."
Shu Jiao pulled Shu Xi aside and explained their backgrounds in great detail.
As for why the two of them speak Daxing dialect?
That's because they had heard about Daxing's prosperity before, and they had wanted to come for a long time, so they learned the Daxing dialect in advance.
"Uh-huh."
Shu Xi listened very attentively.
She knew that she couldn't reveal any flaws in her identity.
She and her mother killed so many people; once their identities are revealed, they're doomed.
"OK,"
After saying that, Shu Jiao tossed a thick booklet to Shu Xi, titled "Details of Miro Island," and said, "Read it carefully, memorize it, and then burn it."
"clear."
Shu Xi nodded solemnly.
She was then coaxed to sleep by Shu Jiao.
"Host sister, are you really not going to buy one?"
003's voice rang out again, tinged with a sob, "Host sister~~~ Points are meant to be spent, right? Just buy one."
"The year-end performance review is almost here, and I'm just a little short of achieving my targets!"
Shu Jiao: ...
"Didn't you say you didn't care about performance?"
Shu Jiao was speechless.
"I didn't care at first,"
003 blinked her big eyes twice, "But I was just a little bit short of getting a better reward."
"Tell me, what's inside that you like?"
"A particularly fine custom-made commemorative mahjong set."
Shu Jiao: ...
She knew it!
She knew that San'er's sudden demand for sales targets meant he must have his eye on something. Otherwise, he would usually be so lazy in his sales pitches, but this time he had pestered her twice.
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster.
"Come on, let me see."
Shu Jiao sighed softly.
San'er just wanted a set of mahjong tiles, it's not like we can't afford it, so let's give it to him.
"Host sister, you're the best! Love you, mwah~"
003 quickly opened the online store. "Host, this one, the Great Voyage Trading Store, 2188, is perfect for your current situation."
Two thousand two?
That little bit?
Shu Jiao glanced at it, knowing that San'er wouldn't trick her, and was too lazy to even understand the function of this mall. "Two thousand two hundred points is enough?"
"It's all right."
003's voice was very cheerful, "Host sister, hurry up and buy it. Then we can play mahjong together."
Shu Jiao: ...
Forget it.
Let it be.
"Buy, buy, buy."
Shu Jiao nodded slightly in agreement.
"Ding-dong~ Your items have arrived in your store."
The next second, 003 gave a serious-sounding announcement while quickly uploading his own performance data.
The Grand Voyage Trading Mall, as the name suggests, is for maritime trade.
The game includes four sections: territory, goods, vehicles, and personnel. The gold coin value in the upper right corner is 0, the trade value in the upper left corner is 0, and there is an exchange shop in the lower left corner where you can buy various things with gold coins and trade value.
However, groundbreaking items cannot be found in the redemption shop.
Shu Jiao became interested just by reading the introduction.
What a good thing!
The pay-to-win shop was no problem for her.
—My darlings, I haven't finished writing the next chapter yet. I'll come back after I grab a bite to eat.
