Chapter 70: Settling In
On the second day, everyone had breakfast together, and Zhao Shicheng came to the door just after planning how to find a house.
"Auntie, I'm familiar with Lin'an, and I may be able to help with finding a house." Zhao Shicheng explained to Cui.
Cui's is worried that he can't find a good house, and Zhao Shicheng's move can be described as a drowsy to send a pillow, which is in the middle of it!
"Thank you, Zigui, I'm worried about this! We have just come to Lin'an, and we are not familiar with this place, so it will be much more convenient to have your help! Cui said with a smile, because he was happy in his heart, the wrinkles on Cui's face appeared slightly, and he smiled.
"Aunt is polite, as it should be." Zhao Shicheng smiled, "I found someone Yazi and a guarantor, they are waiting outside, can you see me?" ”
Zhao Shicheng originally wanted to buy the house directly and give it to the Tang family, but the Tang family would definitely not accept it, so he took a roundabout route to brush up his favor in front of the Cui family!
Human teeth? Cui's suddenly, they really want to buy a few maids-in-law, and the manpower in Shanyin's house is enough, but after Lin'an, some people have to stay in Shanyin, and the manpower is a little stretched, Zhao Shicheng even thought of this, and Cui's is even more satisfied with his meticulousness and thoughtfulness!
"Then let's meet!"
The guarantor and the human tooth entered the door.
The guarantor was the first to speak: "Madame wants to buy a house, there are three places that the little one knows, the first is the family of Lord He in Yuhua Hutong, he was transferred to the prefect of Guangzhou this year, and he wants to sell the house, the house of He Mansion is relatively large, and the price is more expensive, 80,000 taels of silver." Of course, you can discuss it with him, but it is estimated that it will not be reduced by much. There is also a place in Yuhua Hutong, the huge person is old, he wants to go back to his hometown to retire, and he will not come back in the future, the house he lives in is smaller, it is a three-entry yard, how many people are there in the wife's house, but it is enough to live? Forty thousand taels of silver......"
The guarantor quickly glanced at the Cui family, and before he came, he knew that the person who bought the house was the Tang family, who had just been promoted to the military department, and the upstart in the court. The future is bright, and he is a family that Zhao Gongzi values, so he is very hardworking. Which one does Mrs. Tang like? The guato figured out that Guò's face could see the clue, but unfortunately Cui Shi didn't even raise his eyebrows.
The guarantor hurriedly lowered his head. Continue to introduce: "There is another place is Huaishu Hutong, Master Mi transferred to Guangde, his house is a five-entry courtyard, which is about the same size as Lord Zhao's house, and the price is 50,000 taels. Which place does Madame prefer? The next day, I will accompany my wife to take a look? ”
"Where's better?" Cui asked.
"Naturally, Lord Zhao, the Sixi Hutong where they live is the best. Almost half of the dignitaries and nobles of the imperial court lived there, and they were all powerful officials! However, Yuhua Hutong and Locust Tree Hutong are also good, these places have no real power or background, and you can't get in if you have money! Anyone who has some money or is an official wants to enter these places, as soon as someone moves out, they will be robbed immediately! Madam, you are lucky, Zhao Gongzi greeted the little one early and let the little one pay attention, it's easy to leave these places, you pick one! ”
Tang Wan suddenly realized that it was a rich area! It's still the kind of supply that is demanded! Tang Wan doesn't have high requirements for accommodation. She doesn't care if it's a rich area, the key is to find a house as much as possible, and Zhao Shicheng couldn't be better if it is convenient.
"Madame, what do you see?"
Cui Shi groaned: "Okay, master, why don't you take Yu'er to have a look?" ”
"Good!" Tang Cheng responded happily and took Tang Yu to follow the guarantor.
"Auntie, pick a few servants, you have a good eye, help Wan'er choose a few good ones!" Zhao Shicheng said to Cui. Although he spoke to Cui's family, it was Tang Wan who looked at it.
"Good!" Cui Shi was very satisfied, and the smile on his face did not stop in the morning!
Seeing that everyone was happy, Ya Po stepped forward very cleverly: "Madam." It's not that the mother-in-law brags, the mother-in-law has a reputation in this line of Lin'an City, the price of buying and selling slaves and maids has never been affordable, the children are not bullied, and the blessings of the ladies are dragged, and the reputation of the mother-in-law in Lin'an City is quite good! ”
Buyer and seller. Tong Su is not bullied? Tang Wanlei has arrived! What a joy!
"Mother, there are enough maids around me, mother can choose by herself, I don't want it!" Tang Wan said, the four maids around her are enough!
Cui said: "It's not too much to choose two more, see what is good, buy it back and play with you!" ”
Tang Wan smiled, she is not a child again, why do you want a maid to play with.
"Mother, I really don't need to!" Tang Wan shook her head resolutely.
Looking at Tang Wan's appearance, Cui Shi knew that she was determined to persuade her anymore, just like every time the topic of marriage was mentioned, once Tang Wan used this tone to indicate that the conversation was over, Cui Shi could only give up.
Seeing that Cui's gave up persuasion, Zhao Shicheng didn't speak, thinking to himself: Since Tang Wan doesn't want to ask for someone, then don't, she is happy!
Cui's chose more than a dozen rough mothers-in-law and four young maids, paid five copper coins, and rewarded people with consistent money.
Renyazi was happy in his heart, made a small deal, got the usual reward, and took into account Zhao Shicheng's face, killing a few birds with one stone, it was really good!
These people are the most well-informed, and the word is also very fast, if they let them spread the reputation of the Tang family for being stingy, then the Tang family will be excluded by the officials and nobles of the hairpin family in Lin'an! Therefore, this money must be rewarded, and the shot cannot be shabby.
After picking the girl, Tang Cheng and Tang Yu came back after a while, and the guarantor followed behind, smiling all over his face.
Tang Cheng walked inside to discuss with Cui's family: "The house in Yuhua Hutong is not very suitable, the house of Lord He's family is too big, the price is expensive, and the people who live nearby are all adults above the third grade, if we move over, it will make people misunderstand that we want to tie up with the important ministers of the court." I'm only a fourth-grade person, and it's not suitable for a cold yamen like the Ministry of War. Besides, our family's money is used to buy a house, what about other expenses? ”
When Cui Shi heard this, a hanging heart fell. She was afraid that Tang Cheng would save face, but she didn't know that money and rice were precious and squandered, but fortunately, he was not confused! Thinking of this, Cui Shi couldn't help laughing, after being married for so many years, doesn't she know who Tang Cheng is? Tang Cheng usually has a bold personality and spends money lavishly, but he never slaps a swollen face and is fat, and he is very measured.
"The huge house is too small, the courtyard of the three entrances, there are so many people in our family, where can we live? It's better to buy the locust tree alley, the size and price are appropriate. You tell me? ”
What's so bad about that? Cui Shi smiled: "Since the master said that it is good, it is naturally good, so let's do it." ”
Tang Cheng said: "Then buy it earlier, so that you can move in." Tomorrow you go with me and look at the furniture or something, and if you want to reset it, you can buy it first. ”
Choi answered.
After coming out, I told Zhao Shicheng and the guarantor the decision, and immediately paid the money, Zhao Shicheng rewarded the guarantor with a silver ticket, and the guarantor looked at the amount, smiled so much that he couldn't see his eyes, and he got so much money after a trip to say that he had a conversation, it was really cost-effective!
The most generous customers who do business, in addition to the part that should be taken, can also get additional rewards, sometimes the reward is even more than the earnings! The guato was gone, thankfully.
Tang Cheng, Tang Yu and Zhao Shicheng went through the formalities and registered with the official mansion, and the house was bought! It's faster than you think!
The next day, Zhao Shicheng and the Tang family went to Huaishu Hutong, and Cui's asked people to take off the "rice house" sign at the door and replace it with the "Tang Mansion" sign.
This house of the Tang family is the courtyard of the five entrances, there is a main room, there is a wing room in the east and west, north and south, two guest rooms, a study room and the ear room where the people live, there is a small pond in the courtyard, there is a rockery in it, it is rare that there is a fountain inside, the thick pine branches and leaves in the yard are luxuriant, and there are various big locust trees at the east and west ends of the yard, which should be the name of the locust tree alley.
Cui Shi looked at the trees in the yard and said: "In two days, let the gardener come to the two begonias, which are particularly beautiful when the flowers bloom, and plant two pomegranates, which are both beautiful and edible, and the meaning is good." ”
The pomegranate symbolizes fertility and blessings, and is a favorite plant for elderly ladies.
"Build another back cover room, and then it can be used as a warehouse! Clean up these days, and when it's done, move in! ”
Zhao Shicheng smiled: "Aunt is thoughtful! Wan'er, don't you say? ”
Tang Wan nodded, this arrangement is indeed appropriate: "Well, listen to my mother." ”
A few days later, the Tang family officially moved into Yuhua Hutong, and this time Zhao Shicheng did not follow, it is said that there is something wrong. Cui Shi regretted for a moment, but Tang Wan breathed a sigh of relief.
Everyone had a supper, and then they went back to their rooms to rest, and each of them had to decorate his room and decorate it to his liking.
Tang Cheng and Cui's naturally lived in the main room, Tang Yu and Liu's lived in the east wing, Tang Yunxiao lived in the west wing, Tang Wan lived in the south wing, and Lin Jiafu lived in the north wing. Label your residence with your previous name, for example, Cui's residence is still called Rongshoutang, Tang Wan's Wanyi Residence, and Lin Jiafu's Furong Garden
Relatively speaking, Tang Wan was the most relaxed, because she asked for less and had fewer things, Qiaoyun Qiaoyue put the clothes in the box, Qiaoxing Qiaochen sorted out her jewelry, and the other rough maids and mothers-in-law helped clean the house, and everyone worked together, and after half an hour, it was almost cleaned up.
"That's it!" Tang Wan looked at the renovated room and clapped her hands with satisfaction!
"It's not very good, the dresser, the pair of blue-glazed vases in Jingdezhen, and the screen with rich flowers, and the Western bead curtain transported by the Bosi of Quanzhou City, have not been placed!" Qiaoyun counted one thing after another, and his memory was surprisingly good.
Does it matter? Tang Wan really didn't think so, but looking at Qiaoyun's serious appearance, it was not good to say anything!
"I'll talk about this tomorrow, I'm tired and need to take a bath and rest." Tang Wan said.
Sure enough, Qiaoyun immediately said: "The slave maid is going to prepare water, Miss is waiting!" ”
Everyone dispersed, fetching water, making beds, and after Tang Wan finished taking a bath, he was on duty at night, and he was resting at rest. A good night's sleep without a word. (To be continued.) )
