Chapter 88 Planning for the Future
"That's good." Xia Yanjing heard that what Shengxia said was exactly the same as what he had guessed.
"But today in the palace, Taifu Zheng impeached Wang Yang, the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture. Wang Yang was eventually demoted, and the prince's face was extremely ugly." Shengxia and Xia Yanjing gossiped.
"I don't think the prince is a good person. He is not on the same path as us. Why don't we help replace the prince?" Xia Yanjing approached Shengxia and suggested boldly.
"Then who does Yanjing think is more suitable?" Shengxia did not rush to answer Xia Yanjing's question, but asked Xia Yanjing for his opinion.
"I think the Tenth Prince is a good person. His brother is the eldest brother's husband, so we are also relatives. And judging from the last incident, the Tenth Prince has good character, much better than the Crown Prince and his friends."
"Besides, the old emperor is already old, and you hold military power. You can't be sure what he's suspicious of you. Even if the old emperor doesn't take action, those princes will definitely try to win you over, or suppress and frame you, in order to obtain the military power in your hands. Instead of passively taking sides, it's better to take advantage of these few years when your power is at its peak and make plans in advance and take the initiative to take sides."
"Yan Jing's analysis makes sense, but how can you ensure that the Tenth Prince will not abandon him after he ascends to that position?" Sheng Xia threw the question to Xia Yanjing.
"I plan to become the richest man in a few years. By then, we will have both power and money. If he really wants to do this, we can find someone else if we can't do it. If that doesn't work, we can do it ourselves." Xia Yanjing responded in a low voice.
"Yan Jing has the idea of vying for that position?"
"I don't have it, and I don't want to. Being an emperor is hard work, and I don't want to be one. What I mean is that I can let my eldest brother be it, hahaha." Xia Yanjing refused without hesitation. In his opinion, being an emperor is just a top-level working dog, with no freedom at all, and he doesn't like it.
"Hahaha, Yan Jing, you are too bold. Tomorrow we can ask big brother what he thinks. If big brother has no objection, then we can ask the tenth prince whether he is willing to cooperate with us." Shengxia covered her mouth and laughed secretly, although it was a bit of a trick on her brother.
"Xia Xia, have you got the groundbreaking document? The shop is going to be demolished tomorrow."
"Here, take it to you." After hearing this, Shengxia took out the commencement document from her arms and handed it to Xia Yanjing.
"I knew that if Xia Xia took action, there would be no problem. By the way, Xia Xia, I bought a piece of land today and spent eight thousand taels of silver..." Xia Yanjing then told Sheng Xia about what happened today in detail.
"Thank you for your hard work, Yan Jing. I'm looking forward to becoming the richest man's husband in Wei Dynasty." Shengxia joked with a smile.
"No problem." Xia Yanjing responded confidently.
After dinner, Xia Yanjing asked someone to call the housekeeper Wu, and then handed the commencement document to the housekeeper Wu, asking the housekeeper Wu to cooperate with Zhang Mu in everything tomorrow.
On the morning of the next day, the two set out for the dental clinic. Yu Sanyi had been waiting at the door of the clinic early in the morning, eagerly waiting for Xia Yanjing.
When Yu San's colleagues heard about it, they all laughed at him and said he was dreaming, thinking that he must have been cheated. Especially the slightly fat broker from yesterday, he laughed even louder.
Yu San didn't pay attention to their words at first, but as time went by, Yu San felt a little flustered, but he still believed that Xia Yanjing would come.
Xia Yanjing thought of the group of little kids at the villa, so he took a detour to buy some cakes and candies. He believed that there was no child who didn't like candy, which also caused him to go to the dental clinic much later.
Every time a carriage stopped, Yu San would look over with hope, but when he saw that the person getting out of the carriage was not Xia Yanjing, he retreated in disappointment.
When Xia Yanjing's carriage stopped, Yu San still went to greet him enthusiastically, but when he saw that it was indeed Xia Yanjing, Yu San's eyes lit up. He had really been waiting for it.
"Master, please come in." Yu San's joy was beyond words. He enthusiastically pulled Xia Yanjing into the dental clinic and straightened his body.
When Yu San brought Xia Yanjing in, all the agents around looked over. Until Xia Yanjing took the deed and left, all the agents around surrounded him in disbelief.
"Yu San, did you really sell that piece of land?" Everyone gathered together and asked curiously.
"How could it be fake? And it's paid in full at one time." Yu San was a little proud at this time. This was the first time he had received such treatment in the three years since he came to the pawnshop, and all this was brought to him by the old man just now.
At this time, the president of the brokerage firm rushed out. When he arrived, Xia Yanjing had already left. The president learned that the land that had not been sold for more than ten years was actually sold today. He couldn't help but come out to see who was the big shot who bought it, but he didn't expect that the person had already left.
"Who sold that piece of land?" The bank president didn't see anyone, then looked at his subordinates and asked in a deep voice.
"President, it's me, Yu San." Yu San didn't know that selling a piece of land could alarm the president, but he didn't think that the president was here to blame him, so Yu San stood up neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"Okay, very good. You are a capable person. From now on, you will be responsible for all asset transactions in the west of the capital. If you do well, you will be in charge of the east in the future." The president looked at Yu San and nodded with satisfaction, then entrusted Yu San with an important task.
Yu San suddenly became the manager of the Western Ya store from an unknown person in the store. It was a huge surprise and he was stunned for a moment. After he reacted, he quickly bent down to express his gratitude and promised that he would not let the president down.
For Yu San, this was like meeting a great benefactor. He kept Xia Yanjing firmly in his heart. If he had the opportunity to repay his benefactor in the future, he would do it without hesitation, even if it meant dying.
Xia Yanjing didn't know that he had already gained a fanboy.
After the two arrived at Qingfeng Villa, they learned that the children were studying at the time. Xia Yanjing and Shengxia approached quietly. Seeing that every child was listening to Wei Yang's teachings attentively, they felt very relieved.
Xia Yanjing did not disturb their studies, so he went to the main courtyard to look for Sheng Yuan. At this time, his eldest brother was correcting homework in the room, and the two were very surprised to see him.
"Now that you're here, please sit down. I'll be done soon." Sheng Yuan said without raising his head.
"Brother, my brother-in-law has worked so hard." Xia Yanjing complimented with a big smile.
"I'm glad to know." Sheng Yuan said without raising his head.
Sheng Yuan quickly finished correcting the homework in his hand and pushed his wheelchair to the table.
"Brother, have some water. How are these kids?" Xia Yanjing attentively poured a cup of tea for his brother-in-law and asked the question he wanted to know most.
Shengxia was also very curious and waited quietly for Sheng Yuan's answer. The two of them looked at Sheng Yuan like curious puppies, making Sheng Yuan couldn't help laughing out loud.
