Chapter 446: Pleasure
The lord of Yancheng took the deed of Qiao Mu's filial piety very cautiously, and to be honest, he took it heavily.
In the eyes of the Lord of Yancheng, this daughter-in-law is definitely 100% unqualified to be the eldest wife of her son.
But step by step, after careful consideration, this daughter-in-law didn't let him get the wrong place.
Not to mention that people are walking step by step, and it is simply smooth all the way, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is auspicious in distress.
If it is said that this step by step is caused by Qiao Mu's scheming, the lord of Yancheng himself does not believe it, in his Yan City, Qiao Mu, an outsider, if he has come to this point with his scheming, he does not have the strength.
If it's not for scheming strength, it can only be luck.
This is also the last thing that the Lord of Yan City wants to believe, I don't know which trick this woman has to love, and her luck can burst to this point.
Thinking of the miracle of the arbor sacrifice to the sky, the Yan City Lord trembled at this result.
Qiao Mu lowered his eyebrows for a long time, and he didn't know what this father-in-law meant by not saying a word for so long. Twisting his scalp and looking up: "If my father looks at it and it's still useful, just let people go to the house." ”
How can I say this, she is willing to send it, but the lord of Yancheng may not be able to see it. So the one who asked for help looked at Yanyang.
Yan Shaocheng's eyebrows have been raised for a long time. Let's see, in the end, his daughter-in-law is sensible, how good this thing is: "Okay, my father still sent you this little thing." Put it away to give Brother Ping face. ”
Lord Yancheng pursed his lips, what his son said was really timely: "Since this is the case, I am welcome, my heart is rare." ”
Whether things are valuable or not, the lord of Yancheng will not comment at all. A thousand taels of silver, this is probably the most worthless gift to the Lord of Yancheng. But the daughter-in-law gave it well.
Qiao Mu smiled: "Father likes it." ”
Yan Shaocheng Lord looked at Qiao Mu's appearance, his mouth was raised, this person was too easy to be satisfied, but he smiled like this when he got a good face from his father: "Okay, didn't you go to the inner courtyard to meet the ladies." We still have to go to Zhuangzi, why don't we go soon. ”
Qiao Mu bowed down and retired: "Father, daughter-in-law retires." ”
The city lord of Yan waved his hand and sent the people away. Leaving the three ancestors and grandchildren, the city lord of Yan finally saw his son's raised eyebrows and looked proud.
I really don't know what this kid has to be proud of. It's just a few rooms, and he Yan City Lord can't afford a few more rooms.
I heard Yanyang say: "Qiao's looks good, it's a little family, look at this bit of knowledge, you just give a good face, he laughs like this." "Don't smile at your face.
The lord of Yancheng was blocked by his son and leaned back a lot, really when he couldn't hear it, what about this to the Qiao family, squinting at his son, why didn't he see him so thick-skinned for a few days.
Yan Shaocheng Lord, this is not counted, seeing that his father did not say anything about his daughter-in-law's actions, and then said: "Don't you know, just Qiao's little gadget made him have some people under him, and people are turned on their backs, and my son has never seen such a careless person." I really didn't expect that the Zhuangzi that this person worked so hard to get out would be the first to think about his father. ”
The whole person of the city lord of Yancheng is not good, his son's painting style is not right, is it obvious that he has always taken the arrogant and domineering route. Because Qiao's is actually down-to-earth, he knows how to please.
Can you buy it for Qiao's family, he, the father, can still give his daughter-in-law small shoes to wear.
The city lord of Yan suddenly spoke: "Oh, does the Qiao clan actually ignore you, the husband, so much." She really thought that this Zhuangzi belonged to her Qiao's. ”
The corners of Yan Shaocheng's mouth immediately hung up: "Ahem, just this little gadget, my son just depends on how many rooms he has received." A woman's thing, how can a son look at it. ”
Lord Yancheng: "That's given, I'm not the first one to be remembered as a father." ”
Yan Shaocheng Lord never thought that one day he would be tricked by his father.
Anyway, can you still care about that? The two of them are insiders, not outsiders, and you are the first to be remembered by outsiders.
Seeing that his son was speechless for a long time, the city lord of Yan continued: "The entire manufacturing yamen has been tossed on Qiao's Zhuangzi for at least two months, son, don't you think that your father doesn't know anything about it, just like that, Qiao's manpower still makes people turn over on their backs, isn't that adding to the chaos." ”
This wave of blows, and then came, Yan Shaocheng Lord never knew that his father was so calculating, and there would never be such a conversation between their father and son in the past.
The lord of Yancheng also has to admit that he is jealous when he sees his son protecting the Qiao family so much, and he is absolutely jealous, otherwise he will not give his son face.
The lord of Yancheng weighed the deed in his hand: "Forget it, my father will not care about the same junior, not to mention that I have to look at Brother Ping's face, this is the right to be filial piety." ”
Yan Shaocheng Lord didn't know how to speak. Listening to his father's tone, he seemed to dislike the lack of the deed, and stammered: "The few houses in the hands of the left and right sons are not very useful, and if you turn around and let someone send them to your father, you will be regarded as a son who is filial to you, and the province will be compared to the son by a woman." ’
Lord Yancheng felt that his son had really grown up, and Yanyang in the past, if he encountered such a scene, he would definitely not change the topic like this, and he shook his head and really cared about how many rooms his son got first: "Forget it, my father will not be able to focus on you for this little thing, Qiao's Zhuangzi is really good." But some things go too far. As a woman, she doesn't understand the way to run a family, so her father won't talk about her. ”
Yan Shaocheng Lord smiled unkindly, this matter, there is really a source.
When the arbor built the Zhuangzi, a large amount of food was transported to the Zhuangzi for three to five days to supplement the food for the craftsmen.
Without comparison, it is not found that now the craftsmen, after they have withdrawn from the arbor village, have gone to work in the place planned by their father and son, and the food has immediately dropped to the next level.
The words of these craftsmen in private are really not very good, even when they are doing their work, they are all wilting.
Not to mention the city lord, even he, the young city lord, is not very comfortable to listen to, when the same work is on Qiao's Zhuangzi, what can be completed in ten days, now it is so stunned that it has been dragged out for several days, is it just that little bit of food.
And when there is no arbor Zhuangzi, how many years have the food just like that. Listen to who complained.
Therefore, it is not wrong for the Lord of Yan City to record this matter on Qiao Mu's account, it was all recruited by Qiao's family.
Lord Yancheng pursed his lips: "Still laughing, my father just wants to tell you that taking her five house deeds is not much at all." ”
Yanyang: "What my father said is that you should be filial to you, and you are generous enough to tolerate Qiao's nonsense." ’
That's a good thing to say. The Lord of Yancheng is much more comfortable.
Yan Yang: "If my father is okay today, why don't we go and see Zhuangzi together, listening to what Lord Wang said, this Zhuangzi is quite unusual." ”
The city lord of Yan was still quite moved, but he didn't say that he could go out: "This, it still has to be planned." ”
Yan Shaocheng Lord: "Brother Ping is happy today, our father and son are with us, I don't know how to be excited now." ”
Well, the Lord of Yancheng is moved, and it is also a pleasure to interact with his grandson and walk around.
Qiao Mu knew that the father and son had private affairs, so he gave himself out, and he didn't know that the father and son hooked up and traveled with one more ancestor.
Now I'm a little dumbfounded, and I still want to have fun on my own territory, okay, there is such a person, he doesn't talk anymore, when the father and son play together, don't let her avoid it, it's all good.
I really don't have hope for this trip. But seeing that Yan Yang was happy, Brother Ping was happy, and Qiao Mu's face was bright, there were only three of them in total, and the two of them were happy, so she could be regarded as earning.
happily followed the team of grandfathers, grandchildren, fathers and sons, and a group of three.
Sure enough, she was left alone in the carriage. Yanyang's guy hugged Brother Ping to accompany his father.
The lonely Qiao Mu sat bored in the carriage and read the drawings, preparing to choose a similar house, leaving the three of them to live by themselves, and it was good to come out and walk around if there was nothing to do.
It's too expensive: 'It's hard to come out, and Madame doesn't look very angry.' ’
Qiao Mu: "It's okay, by the way, I forgot to give you good things." ”
As he spoke, he took out a deed from the drawer of the carriage: "Don't say that my lady is stingy, you and Yan Chi are married, I can't send a bill to send two houses out, you two just have a deed." Our own Zhuangzi and our own people are naturally preferred, and I also left it for Steward Qiao. ”
Taigui knew that his wife was generous, and he had never been an outsider to her and the leader, so he didn't know that he could be so heartwarming, and his wife gave five house deeds to the young city lord, and he even left a house deed for their husband and wife. Does it mean that they are four different from the young city lord in the heart of the lady? Thinking about this location, I feel very proud of it.
Qiao Mu: 'What are you doing, there is less dislike, there is no more, my house is expensive, and I can't buy it with money.' ’
Taigui opened his mouth, stammered for a long time, and was robbed of the conversation by Qiao Mu again: "You're welcome, that's not like your temper." ”
What should be said and what should not be said was said by Mrs., and what else did she say: "The slave is not welcome, otherwise it will spoil Mrs.'s heart, we like this house very much." It's not very good to connect with your residence, doesn't it mean that the slave and maid have finally found a place to stop, and they can't hide from you. ”
Qiao Mu glared: "You really dare to say it." Forget it, Mrs. Ben is not like you in general. ”
It's too expensive: "The road is still very long, you rest first, the slave and maid look at the sky outside, if it's hot, please ask the little master to come and rest." ”
Qiao Mu: "Forget it, you can rest too, don't worry about the little master's side." Isn't there a father and grandfather here, and it's not our turn to intervene.
This is too expensive to admit that when these two are here, my wife is like my stepmother, looking pitiful, I can't hold the little master.
By the time I arrived at the new Zhuangzi, it was already noon.
The road trees in Yancheng have been seen for a long time, the wide road paved with bluestone slabs, and the roadside is transplanted with arm-thick plants of unknown varieties, and the yellow-green leaves are pruned very well this season, so that this wide road immediately rises to a higher level.
Qiao Mu, who was awakened by Taigui's greeting, saw the scene outside, and thought that he had returned to modern times and went to the suburbs.
This is a real surprise.
Too expensive: "When I looked at the drawings, the slave maid felt that this Zhuangzi was exquisite everywhere, but I didn't expect to see the real scenery, and I knew that the things on the drawings were eye-catching." Madame, this place is so nice. ”
The arbor had to nod, what did Yanyang look at in the notebook, why did the greenery on both sides of the road be moved over.
The Yancheng Lord in the back was also surprised, this kind of layout is really good, the Qiao family can also Huo Huo Yinzi, even a road is so decorated, and I don't know how Zhuangzi is.
The carriage ran on the wide road, and the sound of the horse's hooves was in the ears, which made people feel comfortable, and a quarter of an hour later, the Yancheng Lord and his party arrived at the most prosperous and time-consuming square built by Qiaomu Zhuangzi.
The lord of Yancheng got off the carriage with his grandson, and Qiao Mu helped Taigui to get out of the carriage.
The small square is not bad, and the shops around it still look like that, the pool in the middle, it should not be a fountain to be built by arbors, why didn't it spray up and become Baotu Spring.
Qiao Mu took Taigui over and circled around the circular pool with a diameter of ten meters, and I have to admit that you can't draw anything like a cat and a tiger.
Look at the fountain that originally wanted to get it, but didn't it turn out to be a hollow stone pier that flowed out, but it was really stumbling.
Qiao Mu touched his nose and resolutely refused to admit that his design had failed. If someone asked, they said that it was originally to bring water over to add some coolness to the hot summer.
Otherwise, she is afraid that the name of Qiao's organ technique will be smeared.
Compared with the arbor, the first thing the Lord of Yancheng saw was this pool that flowed out all year round. It's unimaginable that Qiao's Trick can do this.
The eyes that looked at Qiao Mu were all tangled.
Yan Xiaobaozi struggled to get to the ground. The child who can climb was put by Yanyang on the edge of the knee-high pool, Brother Ping was just able to take a step in the pool, and he was not thrown away, and his little hand could touch the cool spring water a little farther, and Brother Ping smiled happily.
The whole square was broken by the crisp laughter of children.
There is no way, since the city lord of Yanzi got out of the carriage, his face has been very serious, but isn't it just that the atmosphere is dull.
Yanyang has been here a long time ago, and seeing such a scene is the most natural one, he hugged his son: "You kid can play, turn around and strip it naked for you to play in." ”
Lord Yancheng hugged his grandson: "Nonsense." ”
Yan Shaocheng Lord pursed his lips, he had been with Qiao Mu for a long time, and his mouth was broken: "My son is just talking." ”
The lord of Yancheng snorted coldly, looked at the pool, and then looked at the shops around, it was not bad, it shouldn't be very good: "What are the shops over there going to do." ”
Qiao Mu happened to come over: "My daughter-in-law has left the shop in the south for herself, and Qiao's restaurant, wine store, and butcher shop will all occupy a shop here." Among my father's five rooms, there was a shop on the east side with a title deed. ’
Pointing to the largest shop in the east, he said very flatteringly, "It's the biggest." ”
Lord Yancheng looked in the direction of the arbor, and had to admit that the daughter-in-law here was still very atmospheric, and it was very comfortable to send things. Very good. was flattered.
Then Qiao Mu said to Yan Yang: "Next to my father's shop, I left a shop for my husband." ”
The city lord of Yan Shao is not fighting with his father, and his daughter-in-law is not bad for herself. The corners of his eyes and eyebrows are raised.
This expression made the Lord of Yancheng purse his lips, the things he gave to his son were much more valuable than a shop, how could he be happy like this.
Yan Yang: "Ahem, it's all left to your own people, what else can you do in this square." ”
Qiao Mu: "It's naturally impossible to leave it to yourself, but I'm not going to make a move on East Street and South Street, I'm going to keep it for rent." If the price is right, it is intended to be sold. But also look at the buyer's. ”
The lord of Yancheng almost snorted coldly, there is no one in this place yet, and he is still so picky, he can't sell it.
Yan Shaocheng Lord is still very confident in his daughter-in-law's things, according to Qiao Mu's words, there are basically not many houses to sell, isn't that a smashing hand: "You can keep this part of the square, and you can't keep the shops on those streets like this." ”
Qiao Mu: "Don't worry, husband, no, the street over there is connected to Yancheng and our official school, and those merchants will definitely be worried about it." ’
It's a good idea, but I don't know how it works.
The lord of Yancheng said in his heart, fortunately, their Yan clan is not short of this bit of silver, and it is nothing to let a woman lose casually.
According to him, it is better to simply give these houses to the students who come to Yancheng to study, so that they can win people's hearts, and save themselves from turning around and smashing them in their hands to look bad.
Brother Ping babbled and tugged at his beard in his grandfather's arms.
Qiao Mu smiled and said his thoughts. Yanyang thinks that her daughter-in-law has brains and is not bad.
The Lord of Yan City has been arguing in his heart, and he is too lazy to take care of them.
I saw a large group of people coming in the distance. The guards beside the Yan City Lord immediately put on a posture.
Yan Shaocheng Lord frowned: "What's the matter." ”
Yan Chi's guards had already hurried over to investigate. After a while, Yan Chi's guards came over with two people.
It was still the honest stump head, and when he saw the young city lord and the city lord, he came over and saluted in fear: "The slave has seen the city lord and the young city lord, and the slave does not know that the city lord and the young city lord are here, and I ask the city lord and the young city lord to atone for their sins." ’
Lord Yancheng: 'Get up, while replying. ’
When Steward Qiao came to ask for peace, he was much calmer, and he couldn't fall into the face of his wife: "The old slave greets the city lord, the young city lord is the same as his wife, and the little master is good." ”
Qiao Mu pursed his lips, and Brother Ping stretched out his arms to the bearded ones and threw them forward.
Lord Yancheng: "Get up, what is the so-called matter of such a grand occasion today." ”
I just think that this steward is like a clever person, and he can probably understand this thing.
Steward Qiao: "Back to the city lord, the Zhuangzi on this side of Xinjie has been built, and the guests in the restaurant have long been curious about Xinjie, and there are students in our store, and the celebrities like to be clean, so they have long asked the old slave and several bosses to explore the clean residence." That's why I made today's trip. The old slave specially asked his wife for instructions, so that our Yancheng can provide a cleaner environment for students to do learning, and the room here is given priority to the students to see first. For this reason, the students also came to thank the city lord for his attention to the students of the world. ”
The Zhuangzi, which has just been built, has already brought people over, and Qiao's action is really amazing.
The lord of Yancheng didn't close his mouth for a long time: "Let the students just take care of themselves, I, Yancheng, have always respected people who do learning, and there are only a few convenient conditions, but it is far from enough." And the words were very beautiful, so that he, the city lord, was quite satisfied, as the daughter-in-law of his Yan family, he should always take the Yan family as his heart.
Steward Qiao: "Please also ask the city lord to give the students a chance." Let the students see the demeanor of the lord of the castle. ”
Young City Lord: "Father, today I will go out in a light car, and my classmates will take a walk together." ’
The Lord of Yan City nodded slowly and agreed very reservedly. The corners of the mouth have long been raised. Brother Ping can't even reach his beard.
Steward Joe bowed down and was about to retire.
Lord Yancheng: "Ahem, I don't know if these students still approve of the environment here, and if there is anything that needs to be improved." By the way, the price of the house here, the students can still handle it. ”
Is this a matter of doing your homework ahead of time. Qiao Muxin said, why does my father-in-law care so much about his image in front of the students.
Steward Qiao: "Back to the city lord, the students are very satisfied with the environment here, most of them pay attention to the houses facing the mountains on the north street, probably because the bachelors like to be clean." As for the price, the students all said it was not bad. The houses near the shops were the cheapest, and five were ordered for 3,000 taels. ”
For Steward Qiao, it would be a dereliction of duty to buy a cheap house, and he would not report good news or bad news in front of his master, so he would say the worst first.
I saw that the beard of the Lord of Yancheng was curled. This, this is really unexpected.
Rubbing his head, in fact, the lord of Yancheng wanted to rub his heart even more, he was beating a little fast, and he couldn't bear it and said: "Ahem, the house on this Zhuangzi is set to go out, but it can still accommodate the students' residences." "I can't wait to ask that.
Steward Qiao: "North Street is already eight or nine out of ten, and there are only a dozen out of the South Street, most of which are merchant homes that come to discuss with the old slave, although the price is very high, the old slave does not dare to be the master, and only after consulting the young city lord and his wife to make a decision, he dares to go to the government to make a deed." “
The most direct reaction of the Yan City Lord was to rub his head, he no longer wanted to give this house to this group of people casually. It turns out that this is a huge profit within a profiteering. A Zhuangzi has caught up with the income of a city, not to mention that it has attracted so many students. No matter how you say it, it is a business that only makes money and does not lose money, they have no shortage of land in Yancheng, build houses, and build more houses.
glared at the son on the side, the house was so popular, why was it still so procrastinating, and when he turned around, he went to explain to the person who made the yamen, and quickly built the house. You can't let the students chill their hearts.
