Now that they hear that they not only have a house in Lin'an, but also good land, how can they not be excited?

With two acres of fertile land, they can save a lot of money in a year, their living conditions can be further improved, and they will have something to do at home, so that they will not be bored and bored.

When the scorching sun was over, Yang Congyi poured cold water on them, not to mention that now is not the time, he doesn't even know where the two acres of fertile land are, although the title deed is written, but there is no very specific location, the time is tight, he didn't have time to see, I don't know if the shopkeeper Fang went to see it when he settled with the owner of the house on his behalf, he had to find a chance to ask.

Hearing this, the two of them gave up.

After a short rest, the master and servant began to clean the house again.

And Yang Congyi also has to consider the issue of returning to the front of the palace to restore his life, this time he went out to verify the merits, although it was a formality, but it was quite unsmooth in Nanjian Prefecture, and he was caught in a dispute between the garrison and the local state capital, hoping that it would not have an impact on the front division of the palace, otherwise he would not be able to escape responsibility.

In the afternoon, on the eve of sunset, there was a knock on the courtyard door.

Yang Congyi personally went to open the courtyard door, and at this time, except for the shopkeeper Fang, there would be no one else.

As soon as the courtyard door opened, I saw the shopkeeper Fang waiting in front of the door with a man and a woman, the woman was in her thirties and the man was in his forties.

"Shopkeeper Fang." Yang Congyi said with a smile.

"The errand assigned by the adult has been completed, and the cook and the coachman have all been found by the adult." Fang An said respectfully.

"Okay, shopkeeper Fang is neat, thank you." Yang Congyi glanced at the two.

"I haven't met Lord Yang yet." Fang An turned his head to remind the two.

When the man and the woman heard the reminder, they immediately bowed down, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and shouted, "The grass people meet your lord!" ”

"Get up." Yang Congyi said righteously, although he didn't want to kneel or kneel to him, but in front of outsiders, he couldn't break the rules.

"Come in and talk about it." Seeing that the two of them thanked each other and got up, Yang Congyi was reincarnated and walked towards the courtyard.

After Fang An entered the hospital, he waited for a while, took a step behind, and closed the courtyard door, only then did he keep up with Yang Congyi's footsteps.

came to the living room and sat down, Yang Congyi asked: "Shopkeeper Fang, where did the two of them come from, and their backgrounds are innocent?" ”

Fang An stood in front of him and bowed down and replied: "They are all from good families, no one has entered the yamen for three generations, and the reputation among the neighbors is also very good, and they were brought after the villain carefully selected." ”

Yang Congyi nodded slightly, glanced at the man, and then asked, "What do you call it, where does your family live, what do you do for a living, and who else is in your family?" ”

The man knelt down and said: "Back to the adult, the villain's surname is Miao, and he ranks ninth in the family, and they all call me Miao Jiu, or Lao Jiu." The villain is a native of Huzhou, who used to farm at home, and if he couldn't eat, he came to the city to beg for a living, and he did all kinds of work, carrying bags, running halls, pulling cars, as long as he was working hard, he was driving people in recent years. There are still wives and children at home, all of whom are in their hometown in Huzhou, so they didn't come with me. ”

"In the last few years, what were you doing before you came here? When did you start running out of cars? Yang Congyi asked, since you want to hire someone to help at home, you have to be cautious, and you have to ask about the origin.

Miao Jiu replied: "The villain has been helping at the dock recently. Two months ago, the old man who hired the villain to drive the car went back to his hometown, the old man's house is in Shaozhou, far away from Lin'an and Huzhou, the villain's family still has a wife and children, and he can't be too far away, so he didn't go to Shaozhou with the master. ”

"What does the family do at home?" Yang Congyi asked again.

Miao Jiu replied: "The master's surname is Su, and he is also an official of the imperial court, and he was an official in the Ministry of Industry before. ”

"Okay, get up." Yang Congyi nodded, since the last person who hired him was also an official, when he went to the household department to receive the in-kind subsidy, he would know his authenticity after a little inquiry, and he was not in a hurry.

"Thank you, sir!" Miao Jiu got up after thanking him.

"What about you, what do you call them? Tell me if there is anyone else in the family. Yang Congyi glanced at the woman again.

The woman immediately knelt down and replied: "The slave family's surname is Bai, and they are all called the slave family's Bai Erniang." The slave family was married for a year and lost her husband, leaving no children behind, and she did not remarry, and there was no one else in the family except for a mother-in-law. I used to work as a weaver in the workshop, and then I was introduced to the restaurant to help the cook, and yesterday the shopkeeper Fang looked for the slave family, saying that he wanted to introduce a good errand to the slave family, and the slave family came with the shopkeeper Fang. ”

Yang Congyi nodded, and then said: "I see that you are still young, why didn't you remarry when you lost your husband in your early years?" ”

Bai Erniang replied: "There were also people who said matchmaking before, but the mother-in-law is old, and no one will take care of her in the future, so if she wants to remarry, she has to bring her mother-in-law, and the mother-in-law doesn't want the slave family to recruit her son-in-law. ”

Hearing this story, Yang Congyi couldn't say anything, so he said, "Get up." ”

"Thank you, sir!" After Bai Erniang kowtowed respectfully, she slowly stood up.

Yang Congyi looked at Fang An and asked with a smile, "Shopkeeper Fang, how did you find the two of them?" ”

Fang An replied: "Miao Jiu used to work in the villain's inn, he was very loyal, and he worked hard, yesterday I heard the adult say that he was looking for a coachman, and the villain immediately thought of him, and he also drove the car for the official master for a few years, so it was more suitable to come, so he brought it today." Bai Erniang and the villain are distant relatives, the villain has known her since she was a child, she was hardworking and sensible when she was a child, and she was quick to do things, if her husband died early, she wanted to support her mother-in-law, and she would not come out to work. ”

Yang Congyi thought for a while, and then said: "Shopkeeper Fang has helped me do a lot of things, I definitely believe in the person you choose, but whether it is suitable or not, whether it can adapt or not, we have to see if it is possible." ”

"That's up, it's all up to the adults." Fang An nodded again and again.

Yang Congyi said: "That's it, let's try it for a month first, if it's no problem, you can adapt to doing things here, and we will officially sign the contract after a month." What do you guys think? ”

Miao Jiu thanked him: "Thank you, sir." ”

Bai Erniang said: "Please rest assured, the slave family will definitely do a good job in the house." ”

Yang Congyi nodded and smiled slightly: "Okay, then it's decided, as long as you do things well, you will naturally not be treated badly in terms of remuneration." When will you be able to come over and do things sooner? ”

Miao Jiu said: "The villain can come over early tomorrow morning." ”

Bai Erniang hesitated slightly, and replied a moment late: "The slave family still has to go back to tell her mother-in-law, and you also have to inform the restaurant, it is estimated that it will be two days late." ”

"Then it's good for you to feed and drink for her, and she can care where you do things?" Fang Anxin was angry, and his tone was not good.

But after an instant, he hurriedly confessed to Yang Congyi: "The little one is rude, I hope the adult will forgive me!" ”

"It doesn't matter." Yang Congyi spat out two words, and the smile on his face had disappeared.

Although there is no hierarchy in his eyes, but in front of so many people, he can't break the rules at will, after all, ordinary people speak in front of officials, disrespectful, if you don't show it, the rules will be broken, in the current society, no rules and etiquette will be very terrible, and he doesn't dare to touch it easily.

"If there is nothing else, the little one will retire first." Fang An was a little uneasy in his heart and wanted to leave earlier.

"Shopkeeper Fang, wait a minute, I still have something to ask you." Yang Congyi left Fang An, and then said: "Miao Jiu, Bai Erniang, you go down first, finish your own business, and come over as soon as possible." ”

"Yes, thank you, sir." The two knelt on the ground and kowtowed, thanked them, and quickly left.

Yang Congyi looked at Fang An and said with a slight smile: "Shopkeeper Fang doesn't have to be nervous, he does have something to ask you." ”

"Excuse me, the villain knows everything." Fang An observed his words and looks, and saw that Lord Yang didn't seem to have the intention of blaming, and his heart was slightly relieved.

Yang Congyi said: "Last time you handed over the property to the original owner of the house on my behalf, did you go to inspect the two acres of fertile land that were transferred with the house?" ”

"Two acres of fertile land is also an important asset, the villain will not forget to deliver, that day the villain went with the seller to see, two acres of fertile land more than a mile away from here, the field was still planted with rice, at the beginning of the month the villain also sent someone to the field to see, the rice is growing very well, it is estimated that a lot of grain can be harvested." Fang An immediately replied.

"Okay, that's good, it's good that the ground is there. It's still early, so shopkeeper Fang will take me to have a look. Yang Congyi said with a smile.

"Yes." Fang An replied very simply.

The two of them went out of the courtyard together, turned to the right and walked up a path that was a little wide of a foot, passed through the rice fields that were everywhere, and then turned again and walked on a narrower road, and in a short time they came to several rice fields with ditches flowing through them.

Fang An stretched out his hand and pointed to Yang Congyi the rice field that had been delivered.

The two acres of paddy fields are in a good location, there is no shortage of water in the fields, and the rice is growing just right, so it seems that this year will indeed be a good harvest.

After seeing it, knowing the location, I stopped staying and returned satisfied.

Before returning to the house, it was not early, and Fang An said goodbye and left.

Yang Congyi thanked him again for what he had done, and let him have time to sit again, and Fang An agreed.

Qingchen's master and servant have been preparing dinner in the kitchen, and they have not shown up from beginning to end, and when Yang Congyi comes back from the field, the meal has been prepared.

The white clouds are long, and the sky is full of red clouds.

Four side dishes and one soup, three people sit around.

"Husband, this is the first day we move into our new home, and it is also our first meal in our new home, let's have a glass of wine and celebrate." The meal was put away, and before the chopsticks were moved, Qingchen proposed.

Yang Congyi put down his chopsticks when he heard this, and said with a smile: "The lady wants to drink, of course I will accompany her." ”

"Why do I want to drink, and I can't celebrate when I move into a new house, this is a custom, isn't there a husband in his hometown?" Qingchen felt a little surprised.

Yang Congyi was slightly stunned, and then said with a smile: "Yes, why not, I have been away from home for too long, I am alone, these customs are almost forgotten, you can remember these things in the future." ”
