Chapter 403: Moving In
Yang Congyi nodded and smiled: "Really, I rescued a court official who returned to his hometown from bandits in Taihu County, and in return, he gave me some gold and silver. When I supervised the return to Yi the year before last, he followed all the way from Taihu Lake to Lin'an, then to Mingzhou, and finally to Quanzhou, and has been purchasing materials for the Xuanwei Army and the Huiyi fleet, making a lot of money. Now I don't want to share some of my profits, the principal is enough to repay the account of the shopkeeper. ”
"That's fine, make me worry in vain." Qingchen exhaled a breath of turbidity.
"Okay, I'll go to Shopkeeper Fang first to figure out the cost, and we'll pay it back as soon as possible." Yang Congyi also suddenly relaxed.
In fact, when he supervised the construction, he was originally able to accumulate a lot of private money, but he was only dedicated to supervising the creation of a good return, and many times the private money was used publicly, and he spent his own money in a daze.
There are also 10,000 taels of gold given to him by the owner Wan Yanliang, which is a huge amount of wealth, at that time he handed over most of the money in exchange to Tang Xun for safekeeping, but as soon as Tang Xun left last year, the money that belonged to him did not know the whereabouts, and a small part of the money he held in his hand was inexplicably invested in the daily expenses of the Xuanwei Army before going to sea.
If it weren't for the fact that before the fleet left Quanzhou, he secretly hid three or four thousand taels of silver bills at home, I am afraid that he would be really stretched thin at this time.
But fortunately, I remembered Guo Qing from Taihu County again, otherwise it would be difficult to explain to Qingchen if I took out the private money in the future.
Looking at the sneer on the face of the shopkeeper Fang, Yang Congyi couldn't say anything serious.
"I just went to the house to see, the shopkeeper Fang took good care of it, advanced money to help repair the inside and outside of the yard, and replaced the old furniture, so I could move in directly, saving me a lot of time and energy, and the shopkeeper Fang bothered." Yang Congyi said with a smile.
"Don't dare, since the adult entrusts the house to the small one, the small one naturally has to go all out and try to repair the house as much as possible, as long as the adult is satisfied, the small one will rest assured." Fang An had a smile on his face.
"I'm very satisfied with the yard, the shopkeeper has spent a lot of money before and after, you are also a businessman, you can't do loss-making business, not to mention making money, this money has to be recovered." Tell you the truth, how much did it cost this time? Although Yang Congyi still had a smile on his face, his tone was slightly different.
Shopkeeper Fang hurriedly replied: "Not much, not much, just more than two hundred yuan." ”
"Oh, I think it's much more than that." Yang Congyi obviously didn't believe that if it was in Quanzhou, Taihu Lake, or Huaining, it would naturally be more than enough, but in Lin'an, this money could not be used at all.
The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "It really didn't cost much, the courtyard wall was demolished and rebuilt, all of the original bricks were used, and only a small part of the tiles on the house were added, although the doors and windows were replaced, but they were not worth much, and the furniture was not particularly valuable, and it was also a preferential price for acquaintances when I bought it, and the total cost was not more than three hundred!" ”
Yang Congyi didn't say anything more, and after thinking for a while, he replied: "That's it, I have to pay back the money you paid, although the cost is not more than three hundred, but you must have spent a lot of energy, which will more or less affect your business, and these are also converted into some labor costs." I don't have much, and I can't give you more, so I'll give you a total of three hundred and fifty yuan. I just bought the house, and my savings are almost gone, and I don't have the money to pay you back for the time being, so I will set up an IOU for you first, and I will pay you back within three years. ”
Fang An hurriedly said: "Adults, no! The little one who does these things for adults is never to make money, or to make returns, it is completely sincere, and I want to help adults do what they can, improve the accommodation of adults, and not let adults worry about trivial matters, and continue to benefit our people with peace of mind. The small ones are not doing this for themselves or adults, but for hundreds of people! ”
Yang Congyi is not a fledgling person, how can he be coaxed by a few words from him. But the other party moved out of the people and was high-sounding, which is not easy to say, otherwise it will leave a handle and damage the official reputation, and it will be in trouble.
So he replied: "The officials have their own court to distribute money, how can they take the people with a stitch and a thread, isn't this framing me?" Hurry up and get pen and ink, and wait for me to leave the IOU. "I have made up my mind, cut through the mess quickly, and don't continue to entangle with him.
framed the official, as soon as the big hat was buttoned down, Fang An's face changed greatly, and he didn't dare to say anything more, so he hurriedly went to get the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.
After a few moments, the IOU is written, signed by both parties, and fingerprints are pressed, and one person keeps a copy.
This is the end of the house, and you can move in with peace of mind.
Yang Congyi handed over the IOU to Qingchen for safekeeping, and then took Lian'er to the street to buy bedding.
Lian'er, who has never been to Lin'an, has never seen the world, and when she sees it on the street, she likes it whenever she sees it, she also wants to touch it, and she also wants to see it, Yang Congyi is from later generations, and subconsciously respects and understands women, and basically doesn't care about all of Lian'er's behaviors, and her wife is not around to restrain her, and her girlish nature is completely released.
Stop and see, everything in her eyes feels good, but she doesn't buy anything, it's not that Lian'er doesn't want to buy it, it's that the money doesn't belong to her, no matter how bold she is, she doesn't dare to ask the master for money.
In the end, there was a lot of delay, but I didn't buy two of the things I really needed, Yang Congyi had to remind her, and Lian'er just relented.
It took more than an hour before the two of them pulled a carriage back to the inn.
After a short rest, the carriage that had not unloaded drove out of the west of the city, and the bedding was moved into the room one by one, and Lian'er cleaned the room and cleaned up the decoration.
When the accommodation room is cleaned up, there is also a kitchen, knives, bowls, chopsticks, pots and pans, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea.
Yang Congyi took Lian'er into the city again, and when he returned to the mansion and finished arranging, it was almost dark.
As soon as she returned to the room, she told her what she had seen and heard in Lin'an City, where there were beautiful things, where there were delicious things, where there were fun things and where it was lively, and everything she saw and heard told her wife.
Qingchen never told Lian'er that she had come to Lin'an, let alone what happened to her, and if Lian'er wanted to talk about it, she listened.
Last time in Lin'an, before I found Yang Congyi, it was difficult to live, and it was in the cold wind, shivering with cold all day, how could she have the heart to see the scene of Lin'an, so her understanding of Lin'an was very limited, far less than Lian'er, who had only been in Lin'an for less than a day.
Although she is here again, her identity is already different, she is already a married wife, and it is inconvenient to go to the street at will, showing her face, and she dare not lose her husband's face.
Lin'an City is very lively during the day, when she learned from the old man that there is no curfew at night, and it is even more lively, Lian'er instigated Mrs. to go out at night to see the night scene, where would Qingchen agree, it was directly a stern reprimand, and Lian'er suddenly didn't dare to say more.
Yang Congyi saw it in his eyes, and it was not easy to say anything, the affairs of the family were naturally decided by Qingchen, and when he came to the Song Dynasty, he still understood this rule.
I haven't had the same room for many days, all the way back to Lin'an, the journey of more than a month finally came to an end, and Yang Congyi and Qingchen slept in the same bed again after many days that night. I wanted to make love, but I had no choice but to travel for many days, and today I was running back and forth, and my energy was not good, and the inn was not at home, not private enough, Qingchen was a little unwilling, and the two could only sleep separately in the end.
The next day, after settling the bill and paying the money, Yang Congyi drove the carriage to take the master and servant back to the west of the city.
Although the mansion did cost a lot of money, Qingchen was very satisfied after seeing it in person, although her mouth was wasteful, her heart was full of joy.
As soon as he entered the yard, Qingchen instantly turned into the owner, and carefully looked at all the houses, and if the furnishings in the house were not satisfactory, he immediately called Lian'er to help move the location, or move out directly.
And the spacious yard, she also made a plan, a vacant land to be used for martial arts exercises, every day to practice, a vacant space to put tables and chairs, summer cool, spring, autumn and winter sun, and a vacant land she wants to plant some flowers and plants, raise a few chickens and ducks.
As for the half-circle fence at the edge of the yard, she hopes to plant green vines to hide the bare wall.
All of Qingchen's plans are casual, completely disorganized, and Yang Congyi nodded in agreement, she can do whatever she likes about family affairs, he doesn't want to interfere in any way.
Seeing Qingchen and Lian'er going back and forth, looking very serious, Yang Congyi did not participate, just sat aside to rest, they came to ask for ideas, he just nodded and obeyed, never refuted, as long as it was not to demolish the house, no matter what the idea was all supported.
After running all over the inside and outside, and when they were tired, their master and servant avoided the sun like Yang Congyi and went back to the house to rest.
Not long after sitting down, I heard Yang Congyi talk about the house deed and land deed, and when they knew that there were still two acres of fertile land, Qingchen and Lian'er immediately prepared to see the fertile land.
No matter how poor or rich the family is, the family will regard the land as the most valuable wealth, and the first thing almost everyone has money is to buy land and annex the land, and if something happens to the family, if it is not to the point where there is no other way, it will never sell the land at home.
And in Lin'an's two acres of fertile land is not a small amount, it is definitely a huge wealth for ordinary people, in the south of the Yangtze River can grow two seasons of rice a year, the grain produced can easily reach 20 stones, and it is not a problem to get 10 stones of rice, enough for a family of five to eat for a year, and there will be surplus grain.
Whether it is Qingchen or Lian'er, they are people who have no field, Qingchen needless to say, maybe when he was a child, there was a field at home, since the family had an accident with the master, naturally there is no field, Lian'er was born poor, when she sold herself in Quanzhou, it was impossible to have a field, there was no place to settle down, and she must be eager to have.
