The pepper showed them the sketches she had drawn in advance.

The last time she came, Pei Ze took her to see the general direction of the hot springs, and she thought at the time, it was a pity that such a good resource was wasted, if she got a hot spring village, maybe she could make a lot of money, and what she never dreamed of was that she really came to open a hot spring village.

The courtyard where Xu Gui is located is considered the upstream of the hot spring water.

The courtyard is surrounded by Zhuangzi's fruit trees, and then there is the official road, almost all the pilgrims who come to worship the Buddha and incense will go up the mountain here, because the stone steps here just lead to the main hall of the main peak, if she opens a hot spring Zhuangzi here, then the pilgrims who have the heart to bathe do not need to wash in the city inn, they can wash directly on the Zhuangzi.

So, all they need to do is build two hot spring pools along the direction of the hot springs.

"Why two?" Xu Gui was puzzled.

"Uncle Gui, since it is a bath, it is naturally divided into men and women." Sichuan pepper explained.

Xu Gui realized.

I can't help but blush slightly, but it's not two places for men and women!

Tang shopkeeper and Lao Li Tou have seen the sketch in advance, and there is no objection, the spring flowers are blooming in March, the soil is melting, it is just a good time to break the ground, although the amount of work is larger, but find more people to come, perform their duties, and it is no problem to complete it within two months.

More importantly, they knew that the owner had the money in his hands.

Although the last time I bought Yayan for the third master, I used up a box of small yellow croaker, but when I came, I said that silver is not a problem, they know Sichuan pepper, which shows that it is no problem to build a hot spring Zhuangzi.

Hua Jiao took the three of them to Zhuangzi for a turn, confirmed the specific location with the shopkeeper Tang, and then officially handed over the matter to him: "Although our silver is enough, I still want to go to the Hou Mansion in Zhennan and ask the Hou Ye if he is willing to cooperate with us." ”

The main purpose of her coming to Yucheng was to accompany Pei Ze.

And it's not all about making money.

If you blindly tinker with the hot spring Zhuangzi and ignore Pei Ze, wouldn't you put the cart before the horse.

"But the third master ......," the shopkeeper Tang frowned, "he doesn't know us at all." ”

As early as when he was on Fairy Spirit Island, he had made all kinds of efforts.

But everything was in vain, not only did the third master not believe them, but he didn't have a good impression of them at all.

After all, seven years ago, they were all bandits from Qinglong Village......

"If you don't know it, you can get to know it again." Hua Jiao smiled, "I'll do these things, you just do your business." ”

If it had been, she might have been on the construction site with them.

But not now, it's no joke that she's more than three months pregnant.

"Don't worry, let's leave it to us!" Shopkeeper Tang happily responded.

Compared with going to see Pei Ze, he still felt that it was better to move stones.

Xu Gui knew that the lady of the owner was happy, so he asked his wife Zhou to accompany him, in fact, he wondered in his heart, why didn't the lady of the owner live in the Hou Mansion in the south of the town, but lived here, obviously the Hou Ye rewarded them that day.

In addition to some ears back, Zhou's people are very happy, and when they saw the peppercorns, they directly asked the doubts in their hearts: "The owner, on the day Hou Ye came to Yucheng, we just met, and Hou Ye also gave us a silver reward, and now that the lady is here, why don't you go to see Hou Ye?" ”

"Aunt Zhou, Master Hou was injured in the naval battle, and he forgot some things, so he forgot me too." Hua Jiao knew the back of her ear, and said in a high voice: "So I can't recognize him for the time being, so I can only live here first." ”

"I see." Zhou realized, "Could it be that the rumors that people often go to the Hou Mansion to recognize their relatives are true?" ”

They didn't go out these days.

I just heard from people who came and went to ask for water, but they didn't take it seriously.

"It's true." Hua Jiao said, "It's really difficult for the Hou Ye, he can't tell the difference." ”

In fact, she thinks it's good for Pei Ze to live in Zhennan Hou Mansion now.

At least all the expenses he needs to recuperate from his injuries are paid by the imperial court, otherwise, just by eating those cliff swallows, he can also empty her savings, not that she is reluctant to buy medicine for him, but that there is a public burden, which is indeed a good thing.

Zhou just sighed.

After resting in the village for two days, Hua Jiao took Zhou to Zhennanhou Mansion to see Pei Ze.

The entrance of the Hou Mansion is still full of people who have come to confess their relatives.

There are mothers-in-law with daughters-in-law, and there are grandfathers with little grandchildren.

Everyone sat noisily under the pergola at the door, drinking tea and attacking each other, all saying that the other was fake.

The guard Xia Yu was there expressionlessly, without saying a word, and there were two guards sitting beside him, writing hard and quickly recording what they said, in case the Hou Ye checked.

Hou Ye said, but anyone who comes to recognize their relatives, treat them well, invite them to tea, and write down their names and addresses.

Occasionally, the housekeeper will come out to give tips.

Because of this, people who come to recognize their relatives flock to it, and the seats are full at every turn.

Xia Yu knew Hua Jiao, pointed to the pergola, and motioned her to sit there, Hua Jiao Yingying stepped forward and said with a smile: "Official, I'm not here to recognize my relatives, I have something to discuss with Hou Ye." ”

"You?" Xia Yu was very puzzled.

Last time, she was with a group of people who confessed her relatives, why did she suddenly stop recognizing her?

Changed your strategy?

"Don't hide it from the official, I have a hot spring village in Yucheng and want to start construction, I want to ask the Hou Ye, can it." Huajiao Zhengse said, "We are new to the city, and we are not familiar with the place, so I want to ask Master Hou for more advice." ”

"This ......" Xia Yu hesitated.

The housekeeper said that those who came to confess their relatives did not need to pass it on.

But it didn't say whether the local merchants came to find Hou Ye or not.

"You wait, I'll ask." After all, Xia Yu still looked at the piece of silver, and ran back to the house to report, Chen Yi was not there, Pei Ze drank Yayan porridge, and was sitting in the flower hall bored to enjoy the flowers, I heard that a local merchant came to visit, and said lightly: "Let Chen Yi go to receive it!" ”

Most of his memory was lost.

When talking to people, it's easy to make jokes.

"Master Hou, the housekeeper is not here." Xia Yu looked at Pei Ze and said cautiously, "It's a little lady, she came to recognize her relatives before, but she came here now and said that she didn't recognize her relatives, and she wanted to ask the Hou Ye about the hot spring Zhuangzi before she dared to start the construction." ”

"You have to ask the prefect about this, why do you ask me?" Although Pei Ze has lost his memory for several years, he still knows these basic common senses, but the opening of a business is not within his jurisdiction, to be exact, he is just an empty title, and has no real power, he is just relying on this reason to recuperate here.

In the emperor's words, he lives here, and he has a deterrent effect on Dongchu, because Dongchu already knows that his true identity is the famous General Li Quansheng in the past, not Pei Ze, a grass citizen.

He also doesn't remember why he used the name Pei Ze.

This is supposed to be the name of the war.

"Master Hou, you have to ask the little lady about this, my subordinates don't know." Xia Yu really didn't know why Hua Jiao came to ask him.

Pei Ze saw that Xia Yu strongly recommended the little lady, and he knew it: "Did you accept her money?" ”

"Back to the Hou Ye, no, no, the villain doesn't dare." Xia Yu hurriedly knelt on the ground and said tremblingly, "The villain is just truthful." ”

Although Hou Ye is sick.

The aura is still full, especially the appearance of not being angry and threatening, which makes him tremble.

But the money was received last time.

Not really.

"Nope." Pei Ze brushed his sleeves away.

He hates bribe-givers the most, and hates bribe-takers even more.

If he found out that there was really such a thing in the house, he would not be able to tolerate it.

Xia Yu walked out with a bitter face and said to Huajiao: "Little lady, don't blame, Master Hou doesn't see anyone, you should talk to the housekeeper if you have anything!" ”

"Is the housekeeper there?" Pepper asked.

"The housekeeper is out and hasn't come back yet, so you have to wait a while." Xia Yu pointed to the pergola again, "Go over and have a cup of tea and wait!" ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw Chen Yi dismounting at the gate of the mansion.

"The butler is back." Xia Yu whispered, "At the moment, he is taking care of all the affairs in the house." ”

Hua Jiao understood, and walked towards Chen Yi with his skirt.
