Chapter 132: Ji Yanran
It's good that Zhao Canniang didn't mention this matter, but now that he mentions it, Zhao Qingfeng's mood improves.
"Here's the thing, didn't I go out to look for a house, but I never found a suitable one, so I was planning to find two more men to ask today. I met a guy I asked yesterday, she told me that there is a house near here, but the price is a little higher, I was curious to follow to see, the result is really close to here, just on the back of a street, a small courtyard is not big, but the inside is very clean and tidy, the environment is good, I see satisfied, I paid half a year's rent, a total of three taels of silver. ”
Zhao Qingfeng was in a good mood, if three taels of silver were exchanged for before, it would be a year's ration for the family, but now, three taels of silver is Zhao Qingfeng's matter for a day or two, and after thinking about it, although he felt that it was still a bit expensive, it was rare to find such a suitable one, so he paid half a year's rent.
Zhao Canniang felt a little strange when she heard it, there was such a coincidental thing there, and the rent of three taels of silver for half a year was really not expensive, and the house in Yucheng was really cheap.
However, Zhao Canniang really couldn't think of this strange place.
"By the way, brother, have you written a contract between you?"
If you write a contract, you won't have anything, and if you don't, maybe there's a real problem.
Zhao Qingfeng took out the contract in his arms and handed it to Zhao Canniang: "You see if there is a problem with this contract, if there is no problem, you can put it away, and I will buy quilts and utensils later, and I will pick you up in the evening." ”
There is some furniture in the house, but you have to buy things like quilts yourself.
Zhao Canniang read the contract again, and there was no problem. also relieved: "Brother, when you buy a quilt, buy a new one, don't buy an old quilt." ”
Zhao Canniang couldn't help but ask. She felt uncomfortable buying an old quilt to cover her whole body.
And Zhao Qingfeng is thrifty in these, Zhao Canniang naturally can't help but give advice.
"Got it. I'll go first. ”
Sending Zhao Qingfeng away, Zhao Canniang carefully supervised everyone to do things.
In the evening, the invited craftsmen had already received their wages and left, and Zhao Canniang was packing up in the shop.
Zhao Qingfeng only arrived at this time.
"You're here." Zhao Canniang stayed in the shop all day today, and she was a little uncomfortable.
Zhao Qingfeng smiled: "I cleaned up the yard, so I'm only here now." ”
In the Ke family, Xiao Yu stood in front of Ke Tianlin and said with a serious face: "Son's affairs have been completed, and they have moved into the small courtyard." ”
Ke Tianlin sat on the chair. While listening to Xiaoyu's report, he drank tea.
"Just move in, this matter will end here, the rest of the matter is up to them, remember to tell you not to leak your mouth."
Zhao Qingfeng's house was naturally arranged by Ke Tianlin, the house was in the most prosperous location, although the yard was not big, but the price was definitely not low, and he collected three taels of silver for half a year. There must be more than this price, but Ke Tianlin confessed that he only accepted Zhao Canniang and them three taels of silver, and the rest was added by Ke Tianlin himself.
is so mysterious, in fact, Ke Tianlin himself can't tell what psychology he is out of. I'm afraid that Zhao Can's brothers and sisters won't appreciate it!
Seeing Ke Tianlin's unpredictable face, Xiao Yu couldn't help but laugh and said, "Could it be that Gongzi really fell in love with that little girl?" ”
Hearing Xiao Yu say this, Ke Tianlin just glanced at Xiao Yu. did not deny that he was interested in Zhao Canniang. Zhao Canniang is very arrogant, and she doesn't look like a girl at all. But it was that that that caught his eye.
Xiaoyu understood everything at a glance: "Childe, it's just that Xiaoyu is a little worried, there is a marriage contract between you and Miss Ji ......, even if you like Zhao Canniang, Zhao Canniang will be a concubine at most in ......the future." ”
Xiao Yu said that he did not continue here, he believed that Ke Tianlin understood what he meant.
Sure enough, after Xiao Yu's reminder, Ke Tianlin's face suddenly became bad.
"Mouthy." Ke Tianlin's tone was a little heavy.
Xiao Yu knew that Ke Tianlin was angry, so he hurriedly smiled and said, "Isn't this for the sake of my son!" Zhao Canniang's fiery temper, as well as her true temperament, is categorically not going to be a concubine and be wronged, and it is impossible for the lady to pass the test, Zhao Canniang was born too low after all, and I am worried about ...... future. ”
In fact, Xiao Yu reminded him like this, he is also selfish, he is a slave, and he still follows Ke Tianlin every day, if Ke Tianlin does something that loses his identity, or makes his wife angry, it is not him who will suffer and be punished at that time.
Zhao Canniang's birth is too low, even if she is with Ke Tianlin, there will be no good results, and now reminding Ke Tianlin like this also hopes that when this relationship has not blossomed and borne fruit, it will be strangled in time, otherwise when the time comes, thinking about the anger of his wife, Xiaoyu can't help but touch his face.
When the time comes, he will be the one who will suffer from the board, so he must prevent Ke Tianlin from falling in love with Zhao Canniang.
Ke Tianlin said after Xiaoyu's reminder, there is still something I don't understand, Zhao Canniang is a peasant girl, if she wants to have no identity, if she wants to have no status, if she wants to have no status, even if she marries back and becomes a concubine, it may cause controversy.
The little fish reminds that it is right, but it is just his own heart.
Ke Tianlin couldn't help but raise his hand and touched his chest, he had no way to turn his back on his heart.
He knows very well that he likes Zhao Canniang very much, although Zhao Canniang is still young now, but Zhao Canniang gives him the feeling that Zhao Canniang has maturity and sensibility that does not match his age.
"Don't mention this matter in front of Madame again, are you afraid of Madame's board, aren't you afraid of my board?" Ke Tianlin's own body does not have the capital to fight against his family now, he must work hard.
Xiao Yu had a bitter look on his face when he heard this, how could he forget that the one in front of him was also a demon.
"Childe, don't worry, I won't say anything in front of Madame." Xiao Yu said seriously.
Ke Tianlin just glanced at Xiao Yu lightly, and continued to ask, "Do you know how many of the following have passed the test?" ”
The last time I went out, anyone in the family who was at least nine years old was assigned to go out.
And now he is the only one in the family who has returned, and none of the others have returned. It should not have passed the test yet.
Ke Tianlin has been following his father, that is, Master Ke, to learn to manage the family's business recently. As long as he grasps it well, it is a sure thing to inherit the head of the family in the future.
Xiao Yu heard Ke Tianlin ask. But he smiled weirdly: "Childe, please rest assured." None of them have passed the test, and the most unlucky one is the second son, who has let the shop he manages lose money for three consecutive months, and the other situations are not very good, but they are just ...... Childe, you have to be careful of the third son. ”
Xiao Yu said this, and looked at Ke Tianlin with some concern.
That's the kind of demeanor that wants to say and stops.
"What's wrong with the third son?" Ke Tianlin asked disappreciatively.
He didn't know that he was a little proud now.
That's not good.
Xiao Yu still dared to talk about Ke Tianlin now, so he said honestly: "The third prince has heard that there is a lot of profit recently, and the master is interested in calling the third prince back." ”
After Xiaoyu finished speaking, Ke Tianlin became serious.
"You said the master wants to call Tianqi back?" Ke Tianlin finally began to pay attention to this matter, if Ke Tianqi really came back so early. It's really hard to say whether you will win or lose.
"You should go and find out more news these days."
Ke Tianlin felt that a storm was coming.
Zhao Canniang closed the door and followed Zhao Qingfeng and the two to the rented place.
The house of the post station has been retired, and Zhao Qingfeng has also moved to the newly rented house.
Walking through the alley next to the shop leading to the back street, Zhao Qingfeng took Zhao Canniang into a more secluded alley.
Zhao Canniang looked at the scene in front of her, a little surprised, she really didn't expect that there was such a quiet place behind the noisy street.
Zhao Qingfeng took a few steps forward, and a door appeared in front of him: "This alley is full of nearby businessmen, most of whom come from other places to do business like us. During the day, everyone is in the shop, so it's quiet. ”
Zhao Qingfeng explained.
Zhao Canniang suddenly realized, followed Zhao Qingfeng into the door, and a small courtyard appeared in front of her.
The yard is not very big. Naturally, there are not as many rooms as there are, there are two rooms in the main house directly opposite, and there are two rooms on the left and one on the right. The small piece of land left is the courtyard.
Zhao Canniang took a closer look. I found it really nice here, and there is a big jujube tree in the yard. At this time, there are no dates left on the jujube tree.
"Brother, it's not bad here." Zhao Canniang said with a smile.
Zhao Qingfeng smiled, and then said: "I have seen that there are three rooms here, and when the time comes, you will have one, the Zhao family brothers will have one, and I will have one." ”
The house did not have a kitchen, and there was no well in the yard, so you had to go to a communal well not far away to fetch water.
But these are not problems, after all, they don't cook at home, just go to the store when the time comes, and the water is only used to wash their faces and take a bath, so living here is also refreshing and clean.
Zhao Qingfeng pointed to a room next to him and said: "That one is your room, my brother's is next to you, I have asked someone to write a letter to bring back to Baiyun County today, it is estimated that in ten days, the Zhao brothers will come over, and you can go back then." ”
This Zhao Canniang has no opinion.
Zhao Qingfeng's ability to do things is very strong, she doesn't have to worry, and what she wants to do is to farm and make a fortune.
It's too flamboyant to do business, or it's more comfortable to be a landlord's wife.
When I opened the door of my room, I saw a square table, and there were only a few simple pieces of furniture in the room, which seemed to be relatively empty.
The quilt on the chuang Zhao Qingfeng has been laid, there is no dresser, only a wooden cabinet, Zhao Canniang looked at the burden placed inside, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, when Zhao Qingfeng arranged the things here, she would go back early! The Qin family is alone in Baiyun County, and Zhao Canniang is really not at ease.
After taking care of the house, it's time to go out to eat.
At night, Yucheng is not as quiet as expected, especially along both sides of the river in the city, it is even more lively.
Where Zhao Canniang lives, not far from the night market, after a simple meal, Zhao Canniang pulled Zhao Qingfeng to the night market, because Chen Zhongqiu was there, Zhao Canniang was not very happy.
Thinking that she would be busy with business, she wouldn't be able to come out to play when the time came, so Zhao Canniang wanted to have a good time now.
Above the night market. Zhao Canniang bought the gadgets she liked while walking.
These are all planned to be taken back to Baiyun County to give away at that time.
Ji Yanran rarely comes out on weekdays, let alone sneaks out to play so late. Today, it was also because there was a big opera by the river that he secretly came out with the maid. She didn't expect to see Zhao Canniang in the bazaar.
Thinking that Zhao Canniang helped her that day, she didn't thank Zhao Canniang properly, and she felt a little embarrassed in her heart.
This will see, and naturally you will come forward to say hello.
Ji Yanran hurriedly walked towards Zhao Canniang, causing the maid behind her to worry for a while: "Miss, slow down, there are many people!" ”
"Zhao Canniang." Ji Yanran walked to Zhao Canniang's side excitedly and slapped Zhao Canniang's shoulder.
Zhao Canniang, who was choosing a hairpin, was startled.
When he raised his head, he saw Ji Yanran's excited face.
Zhao Canniang doesn't know many women, not to mention that they are still so rich.
Ji Yanran saw Zhao Canniang's confused look. He reminded: "You don't remember me!" You helped me get my money bag back that day. ”
Zhao Canniang actually happened to think of Ji Yanran: "It's Miss Ji." ”
Ji Yanran saw that Zhao Canniang thought of her, and her mood suddenly improved: "You finally remembered me, I'm still worried that you won't remember me!" I didn't expect to meet you here. ”
Zhao Canniang thinks that Ji Yanran is quite good, at least for now, Ji Yanran is very enthusiastic, and there is no arrogance on her.
"Miss Ji, do you also visit the night market?" Zhao Canniang asked.
Ji Yanran smiled and nodded, and then asked hesitantly, "Can I go shopping with you?" ”
This is naturally not a difficult thing, Zhao Canniang agreed without thinking about it: "If Miss Ji doesn't dislike it, let's go!" "Zhao Canniang actually likes a woman with such a personality. I feel that the conversation is more casual and does not feel awkward.
Ji Yanran's maid followed behind, while Zhao Qingfeng followed Zhao Canniang from a distance.
Being able to see Zhao Canniang making new friends, Zhao Qingfeng was very happy. In Zhao Qingfeng's opinion, his sister just lacks the graceful temperament of everyone's ladies, and it would be good to have more contact with such a young lady.
At this time, he naturally didn't bother. Besides, it's also good to look at Ji Yanran.
Ji Yanran held Zhao Canniang's arm very intimately, and asked as she walked: "Listening to my sister's accent, I don't look like a person from Yucheng." Where is my sister from? ”
Zhao Canniang didn't want to hide it, and she really wanted to make friends with Ji Yanran. At this time, he naturally replied very seriously: "I am from Baiyun County, and I came here with my brother to do business." ”
"Doing business? What kind of business can Canniang tell me about? Ji Yanran looked curious, she really felt that Zhao Canniang was not simple, and it was extraordinary to want to do business!
Zhao Canniang then replied: "We don't have any money to do big business, we can only do small business, my brother came here to open a restaurant, why is Miss Ji still outside so late, isn't your family in a hurry?" ”
Zhao Canniang felt strange, it stands to reason that a boudoir lady like Ji Yanran should stay at home, it was already puzzling when she came out, this time was still outside, Zhao Canniang was not curious that it was fake.
Ji Yanran heard Zhao Canniang's question, smiled weirdly, and whispered: "I ran out secretly, my father won't let me come out to play!" It's okay to come out for a while during the day, but he won't let me come out at night, so I'll come out secretly, hehe, I didn't have a soap here and met you, this is called fate. ”
After Ji Yanran finished speaking excitedly, Zhao Canniang nodded with a smile: "Yes, it's called fate, how old is Miss Ji this year?" ”
"I'll be in a year later, I think you must be younger than me, I'll call you sister, okay?" There was a kind of prayer in Ji Yanran's tone that people couldn't ignore.
Zhao Canniang smiled: "Miss Ji is polite like this." ”
Hearing that Zhao Canniang was still so polite, Ji Yanran blamed a little coquettishly: "Sister, you are still so polite, I have called you sister, you should call me sister." ”
Looking at Ji Yanran's serious look, Zhao Canniang smiled: "Sister." ”
Ji Yanran laughed, and her face was suddenly full of smiles: "Sister, I like your true temperament, where is my sister's store?" ”
Walking from the street to the end of the street, Zhao Canniang and Ji Yanran seemed to have endless words.
Zhao Canniang finally knew Ji Yanran's identity, the daughter of the prefect of Yucheng, and the eldest lady of the prefect's family.
"It's not too early, you should go back, if you come out in the future, you can come to Zhao's private restaurant to find me, I may stay in Yucheng for a month."
At this time, the number of people in the market has begun to decrease, and the time is not early.
Ji Yanran is in a good mood today, because of her temper, what Ji Yanran can't see the most is those twisting and pinching eldest ladies, who hide words when they speak, Ji Yanran doesn't like it even more, it just so happens that Zhao Canniang is not such a person, not only amiable, but also very helpful, the key is that Zhao Canniang is very in line with her appetite.
Ji Yanran was a little reluctant: "When will your store open, remember to hand me a post, I will ask my father to inscribe a few words for you, so that those ruffians will not dare to bully you." Ji Yanran already knew that Zhao Canniang's brother and sister were here, and they were not familiar with each other, so of course Ji Yanran was worried.
Hearing Ji Yanran's words, Zhao Canniang was a little surprised, but she didn't expect Ji Yanran to say this.
You know, if there is an inscription from the prefect, it may save a lot of trouble.
"My sister is here first, thank my sister, when the store is going to open, I will definitely tell my sister." Zhao Canniang said in a low voice.
Ji Yanran said with a smile: "Okay, I'll go back too, I guess I won't be able to get out in the next few days, I must remember to hand over the post when the time comes, and I can't wait to eat your things." (To be continued......)
