Chapter Eighty-Seven: Trivia
Empress Changsun did not embarrass everyone, but let the carriage send them all back again, but she did not let everyone know that she was the queen's mother from beginning to end.
Perhaps, this is the first year after Li Er ascended the throne, Li Er has a lot of things to do, he has even forgotten the existence of Yang Heng and others, since the eldest grandson queen met Yang Heng and other children, there has been no movement, and Princess Li Lizhi occasionally comes to play with Xiaoniang, and it is purely play, without any tasks.
"Brother Heng, let me tell you, there are not many residents in our workshop, and I found that many houses are idle." Yang Heng didn't have time to wander around, his house was not far from the fangmen, so he rarely ran around in the fang, he thought about too many things during this time, not only the meeting with the queen's mother, Yang Heng knew that the queen didn't see them to meet Li Lizhen's playmate, there must be things in it that he couldn't figure out, but if he couldn't think of it, don't think about it.
"Little lady, what you said is true, there is still an empty house next to us." "Well, yes, at first I wanted to see what kind of neighbors we had, but it turned out that most of the houses in this place were empty."
"Ha Luha, it's empty, it's empty, I'm worried about what my uncles will do in the countryside, I can just buy it and let my uncles come to live in the city, little lady, thank you." Yang Heng was a little excited, he just knew that Chang'an City was not easy to live in, but he didn't know that this was a sentence that only existed in the Tang Dynasty, and in this era, Datang had just stabilized, and even in the surrounding areas, and even in the country, there were some unstable factors, that is, most of the places in Chang'an City were only full, not to mention that Li Er was still cleaning up some of the heads and tails of Prince Yin and others.
"Grandpa, I want to buy a house." This was the first thing Yang Heng said after his father came home. "Boy, what are you talking about, buying a house, you're not wrong, what other house can we buy here?" It's not just the dad who has a lot of questions, but the old lady and the uncle are also full of questions.
"That's right, you don't know what to do, this is still a little lady reminded me, there are many empty houses around our house, grandpa, you can go to Chang'an County to inquire, whether the house here has an owner or no owner, if there is no owner, we can buy some houses in other squares, and we can take our uncles over to live, in that case, we will live together again."
"What you said is true, there is really a vacant room next to it, how come I don't know about it." Dad exclaimed, that is, the old lady, uncle, and aunt also opened their eyes wide, they were also a little bored at this time, they were missing other uncles and aunts, and fortunately they brought this group of children last year, otherwise wouldn't it be even more lonely, and as a new resident of Chang'an City, they have not really integrated into Chang'an City yet.
Dad is very quick to do things, and on the third day, he got the title deeds of several neighboring yards, "Boy, you are good, fortunately I went in time, otherwise the houses around here would have to be sold There are still many houses in other squares, and even some entire squares are empty, but I still think it is better to buy some houses closer to our house, and, little brother, I will trouble you to go to the countryside once recently, and bring the other brothers here, but I don't think they will come so soon, because it is time for spring planting." ”
In other words, fighting a war is really a job to make money, but people in this era do not realize that in fact, all the things in Yang Heng's family now, even real estate, are all because of the last battle, and naturally they also have the money they earned in their own families.
Daddy's guess was right, after the uncle went back, not only did he not bring other uncles and aunts, but he himself stayed at home for the past few days, this is to plant crops at home and come back.
Uncle's return delayed Yang Heng a lot of things, so at this time, Yang Heng and his father first went to the market to choose a housekeeper to come back, and an upstart family like Yang Heng would not have anyone to recommend themselves to be a housekeeper, so they could only go to the city to choose a housekeeper to come back first.
Butler Lao Qin, he is the housekeeper of a four-grade official family of the Hidden Prince, it is because of the hardship of this official's family, so all the subordinates of their family have been sent to the human market, and even all the female dependents of this official's family have also been sent to the human market, however, everyone does not expect Yang Heng to be able to change this kind of thing, this is a subtle thing that can be changed, and it also needs the strength of the country and the consciousness of the people, so that human beings will develop more and more towards civilization.
But if nothing else, this Lao Qin is a good housekeeper, which can be seen from the attitude of some betrayed subordinates in the market, so Yang Heng and his father quickly chose Lao Qin, this is a very loyal housekeeper, and even his former master did not change his surname, so Yang Heng naturally will not give him another name.
"Your surname is Qin." "Yes, Xiao Langjun, Xiao's surname is Qin, and his name is Qin Wu." "Qin Wu, you will be the housekeeper of my family in the future, I think you should know the responsibilities of the housekeeper of the Dao, if you are incompetent, then you will not be able to stay in this family." "Yes, Xiao Langjun, I know all this, I am a housekeeper who has been trained as a housekeeper, whether it is bookkeeping or managing the inner and outer courtyards, I am very familiar with it." This is not the time to be modest, Qin Wu needs to show his talents, so that the master can arrange some things for him, whether to take care of the house directly, or wait for a while to take care of the house.
"Okay, Lao Qin, in the future, you will first learn about the situation of our family with Sister Lian and Brother Da, and when you are familiar with it, you can get started, then the position of housekeeper is yours." It is said that this is still a small family, but Yang Heng's family also has many secrets, and even some special things, so naturally it is necessary for people to lead and familiarize themselves with it first, and then they can play the role of a housekeeper.
"It's good, Xiao Langjun, but the old slave has another suggestion, that is, you Xiao Langjun and the little ladies should bring attendants or maids now." Naturally, boys should be equipped with attendants, girls should be equipped with maids, and even slowly no one will be equipped with maids and others, and at home, there is also a need for maids to serve, and it is naturally not the role of attendants at home, or boys also need to have scholars.
"Well, this one, you have to worry about Lao Qin, you have to know that these close characters still have to be carefully selected." Yang Heng naturally agreed to Lao Qin's suggestion, but he couldn't just find some.
