The next morning, after smelling the rain and washing up, he went to see the chief manager to discuss the conclusion of the contract.
Qinghualou has always been refreshing, Wen Yu gave enough silver taels, and at the end the chief manager only asked, "You think clearly", and after getting an affirmative answer, he tore up the deed of sale and the deed of contract on the spot.
When Chen Hanzhi arrived, Wen Yudu had already ended the contract and could leave at any time.
"Wen Yu, it's great, you're finally out, I really want to introduce you to my friends right away, they are all proficient in music theory and good at singing!"
Seeing that the other party's cheeks were red, his face was full of joy, this time he did not refuse or shirk, Wen Yu stretched out his slender hands that made Chen Hanzhi think about it day and night, put it on the wrist he handed out, and with a little bit of strength, he jumped up and boarded his carriage.
The people of the Yong Dynasty are divided into three categories, the first category is the people of Beijing, that is, the local people of Yongjing, no matter what kind of family background and what kind of occupation they are engaged in, they are born.
The second category is all civilians except for the Jingmin and the ransomed in the third category.
If the first two categories are more of a geographical division, the third is more than that.
Ransom is Wen Yu's current identity, which means that he does not have any fixed private property such as his own land and real estate, and he is redeemed from a business place such as a restaurant or someone else's mansion, which is collectively referred to as a ransom.
From the point of view of the law, the ransom is also a real commoner, no matter whether it is a happy event, there is no restriction on engaging in all walks of life, but the household registration of the ransom will indicate that the person is self-redeeming.
If you want to change the identity of the ransom, one is to engage in agriculture, buy a piece of land, go to farm, and when the prescribed grain tax is paid, the imperial court will issue a new household registration that is no longer marked with "self-redemption", and the other is to marry, and the two types of civilians who are not redeemed can be married, as long as they are married by the Ming media, both men and women will also be issued a new household registration.
Such rules are not strict, and there is actually a lot of room for maneuver, so it is very rare to redeem the people in the Yong Dynasty.
But for Wen Yu, it is not an easy thing, the price of ordinary fertile land outside Yongjing City is also about 100 taels, or there is no market, because most of them are connected into pieces, which is the industry of the family, and it is almost impossible to buy a single piece of land to pay grain tax.
Wen Yu wanted to stay at the inn, but Chen Hanzhi had already arranged a place to stay, and she could save a sum of money, so she didn't refuse, if nothing else, Chen Hanzhi would be the one she would stay with for the rest of her life.
If you already have a place to live, you don't need to spend that extra money.
That night, Chen Hanzhi set up a reception banquet for Wen Yu, and really invited many friends, some she had seen, and some had never been masked, most of them looked polite, modest and polite.
But Wen Yu could clearly hear every whisper they spoke, half of them were vassals and gentlemen, half were friends of wine and meat, and poor Chen Hanzhi was completely unaware.
It's just that she will like Chen Hanzhi, isn't it precisely because of his "naivety" and "stupidity"?
After the banquet, Wen Yu went back to her room first, she had no intention of listening to the conversation between Chen Hanzhi and her friends, but she could always hear her name.
In his words, he praised himself as best he could, and she blushed a little when she heard it.
In the end, there were two people left, one of whom seemed to have taken out something, and from Chen Hanzhi's answer, it can be seen that the other party took out a silver ticket.
