Chapter 158: The House and the Cow

Back at the Guogong Mansion, Dong Xiaoying went straight to Mrs. Hu's yard, the house is good, great, the money in her waist is enough, she really wants to buy it, but she thinks that she has just seen a house, and there is a better one in the back? I want to discuss it with Aunt Hu.

"Why do you want to buy a house? Is it bad to stay at home? Mrs. Hu frowned and asked.

Dong Xiaoying explained, "When the child is older, I think that if Mingyuan passes the Spring Festival, I am afraid that I will have to live in the capital for a few years." If you don't have a house, your aunt thinks about it, if you live for three or five years, Chang'an wants to say kiss! We don't have a house, where can we marry a new daughter-in-law? ”

Mrs. Hu nodded slowly, "Hmm! You've thought it through. Wu Anhou's family is very sharp, is this thinking about going out? The young emperor can't succeed, he can't hold these old ministers, I heard that the court has everything to say, but he doesn't do anything serious.

It's good to buy a house at this time, taking advantage of the instability of the people in the capital, the house that is released is suitable, and it is good to take a set and prepare it. ”

It seems that many people are not optimistic about the young emperor, and it has only been long since the new emperor succeeded to the throne, and some people began to transfer assets and family members.

"Auntie, should Mingyuan take the spring exam? If this is examined, Mingyuan will be the official elected by the young emperor, so it's not easy for us to get out! "Dong Xiaoying doesn't want to buy a house, so she should stay away from right and wrong at this time.

Mrs. Hu chuckled and said, "What are you afraid of?" We've got the princess, and we've got me! I can't pee in a pot with the young emperor. ”

Dong Xiaoying was full of question marks, and pondered all the way back to the courtyard. We have to hold a meeting to discuss this matter, call all the daughters and sons, and if not, we will go back!

After careful consideration, Chang'an said, "If you want to buy a house, now take advantage of the cheap price to get a property." Since my father doesn't plan to be an official, he really can't do it, so he resigns and returns to his hometown! Doesn't Dad want to run a technical school! ”

Fang Yue nodded and said, "Buy a house!" I like Begonia Courtyard so much, and there is a hundred-year-old green plum tree in the plum forest, and there is a hundred-year-old green plum tree in the plum and red plum, and the price is worth it for that green plum alone. ”

Fang Mingyuan clapped his hands and said, "Buy, my daughter likes it, let's have enough money now, buy a house!" It's a big deal, and then we buy tickets for people to come in and visit. ”

Chang'an is full of black lines, when can Dad forget the ridge of the park.

Dong Xiaoying whispered, "If we can win three thousand taels, we still have more than three thousand taels of silver in our hands." ”

"Don't think too much, we've only been here for a few years, and we've earned more than six thousand taels, so we're already nouveau riche! Buy a house, if you can't pass the exam, we will be people with a house in the capital in the future! Fang Mingyuan patted his daughter-in-law's hand and said.

Fang Yue slapped the table and announced, "I want to work hard to make money, a good woman doesn't want a dowry, I earn it myself!" ”

Chang'an lowered his head in shame, what can I do? I actually let my sister earn a dowry, am I still a qualified good brother?

Fang Mingyuan said, "That sentence says, good men don't fight for family meals, and good women don't ask for dowry clothes." Girl! When you say this, your father and mother are embarrassed! Don't worry, rest assured, your dowry, your father and mother are still out of it. ”

Dong Xiaoying stretched out her hand to pat her daughter, "What are you doing, I'm shocked, who is slapping the table with!" Why are you going to get married? How old are you! ”

All right! I'd better go back and figure out how to talk to the owner of the embroidery brocade tomorrow!

Dong Xiaoying returned to talk to Mrs. Hu, and the house was set to be bought. The workshop also had to move, the village gave a silver ticket, and the house in Miliang Lane was suitable, so let Fang Mingtong bargain and take it.

After being disturbed in the Guogong Mansion for many years, the people in the village are very grateful to Mrs. Hu, and they can't express how much they say, and they are grateful to Mrs. Hu in their hearts, but they still have to say it, and they still have to thank it.

Mrs. Hu smiled and listened to Dong Xiaoying's words of thanks, "Got it!" Needless to say, I have a place to live here, and I can live if I want, and now that I have money, I can buy a house and move away. However, I asked the chick to embroider a screen for me, which is the landscape she painted. ”

Dong Xiaoying responded for her daughter, "What's there, I'm happy to embroider any chick for you." ”

As she was talking, Mrs. Li came back, and when she entered the door, she asked, "My sister hasn't gone out today!" I can't stay at home all day! Ming'er and I will go to the shop to play, and the rocking chair upstairs will be soft for you, and our old sister can still talk. ”

Mrs. Hu shook her head and said, "No, I will go out like carrying a big flag, and I can't stay idle in the shop, so I am sure that I will come with my daughter and meet me." ”

Mrs. Li said, "Then you can choose one for Brother Ling, Brother Ling is the prince of the world, marry a daughter-in-law who can control the family, and accept two delicate concubines, without delay!" ”

Mrs. Hu chirped, "Phew! Who are we? Also take a concubine? The old man is not serious and learns badly, what kind of concubine is it? It's still delicate! Let me tell you, if you have a daughter-in-law who can give birth to a daughter-in-law, I am not allowed to listen to my brother take a concubine.

If there are more women, there will be trouble, you look at how many mansions in the capital, because there are many girls, any moth can be made. My rules, our family can't take concubines. ”

Dong Xiaoying said in her heart, you should find your granddaughter-in-law first! I don't know where my daughter-in-law is!

"You should look for your granddaughter-in-law first! People bring their daughters to you, you don't know what's going on? I looked at any young lady, she spoke quietly and stingily, walked one step at a time, and played a lady. Mrs. Li said.

Mrs. Hu said impatiently, "What are you doing?" A lady is going to marry home? I can't look at it, and Brother Ling can't look at it, what are you doing! When she saw me killing a pig, she frowned, came to visit the garden, and covered her nose with a handkerchief in front of the pigsty. What are you doing with it? Afraid I'll see a crooked nose? ”

Dong Xiaoying saw that Mrs. Hu was angry, and hurriedly interrupted, "Aunt Li, we're going to buy a house, did you hear Brother Mingtong?" The house at the mouth of the rice grain lane, we have all seen it, it is very suitable to open a workshop, there are three shops at the door, and the specialties in our town can be put on the table. ”

Mrs. Li immediately didn't want to think about anyone's daughter-in-law, "Fourth daughter-in-law, the patriarch gave me the money, I know, Mingtong told me, it was the money to buy cattle." There are a lot of horses in our town, but there are still few cows, and cows are not counted!

Your old cow has not been useful for the past two years! We have few cattle over there, so it's not cost-effective to buy cattle! The patriarch said that he would get a dozen cows back here, which were serious and capable of contributing, which was better than buying a house.

The fourth daughter-in-law, think about it, do we want cows, the house or something can be slowed down. We don't have money in our waists, and we keep a thousand taels to buy calves! ”

Mrs. Hu laughed at Mrs. Li and said, "I look at you!" After a few more years as a shopkeeper, the settlement still can't be done! How much is a calf? It costs ten taels of silver to die, you only need a dozen cows, buy calves, and go back to raise them for a year to go to the ground to make a big effort, why do you want to buy strong cattle?

You calculate, a strong cow costs seventeen or eighty taels of silver, and there is a lot of pasture in our town, so why spend seven or eight taels more to buy a strong cow! Well? You just buy strong cows, one thousand taels go to eight hundred taels, and the remaining two hundred are enough for a dozen strong cows. ”

Mrs. Li clasped her hands together and said, "You are very calculating, you are guarding the gold and silver seas at home, and you are also careful in your calculations!" Let me tell you, that's not how it is calculated, we have to hire a car, and a cow will be hired to hire a car to pull it back, and we can't let the oxen go to death from exhaustion, and we will not be sick from exhaustion. ”

Mrs. Hu said, "Will you settle the account and hire a car to pull it back, it is more expensive than buying cattle in Yanhui City, what are you tossing?" ”

Dong Xiaoying said in her heart, what kind of topic can you talk about, these two old ladies can quarrel?

"Listen to me, Mingyuan's daughter-in-law! Go to buy a house, there is a house in the capital to settle down, you are not bad, although the pastry shop business is not good this year, there should be a few hundred taels of silver! Mrs. Hu looked at Mrs. Li and asked.

Mrs. Li whispered, "Don't shout, don't make noise, we haven't made much money this year, and I'm worried that I won't be able to make enough money for the county lord's house." After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the account was only eight hundred and seventy taels, and half of it was given to the county lord, so we really didn't make any money. ”

Mrs. Hu patted her thigh and said, "Oops! Big heart! Back then, my family bought pork, and I was happy to earn 100 taels a year, but you had a small 1,000 taels in your account, and you said that you didn't make money? ”

"This is the capital," Mr. Li said in a big voice, "You say that the business in the capital is not profitable?" This is a small fight. Embroidery Brocade Fang, you know Embroidery Brocade Workshop! If you pull out a piece of clothing from it, you can't look at it, and people can make money!

Oh, by the way, Ming'er chick asked the owner of Xiujinfang to meet, saying that it was talking about business, what was it about? The fourth daughter-in-law, will you follow the chick tomorrow? Our chick is young, don't let people fool her! ”
