Chapter 140
Yang Dashu, Yang Xiaohua and Diao Ruyue were reluctant to accept the deed of sale at first, but Jiang Xuehe persuaded them for a long time to accept it, and finally the Yang brothers and sisters went to the county government with the others to cancel their slave status. But Diao Ruyue was still unwilling, and actually stuffed the deed of sale back into Jiang Xuehe's hands when everyone was leaving.
"I plan to serve my wife for the rest of my life, and this lady really doesn't have to pay it back to me."
Jiang Xuehe really didn't understand her thoughts: "Even if you cancel your slavery, you can still continue to follow me, how safe it is to have you by your side, now I don't dare to go out without you." ”
Diao Ruyue shook her head, insisting on being a veritable maid by Jiang Xuehe's side.
"Madame, just to put me at ease." Diao Ruyue sighed.
Seeing her like this, Jiang Xuehe guessed that all this should be related to Diao Ruyue's past, but Diao Ruyue was reluctant to mention that past anyway, and Jiang Xuehe didn't want to force her, so she didn't ask any more questions, and put away the deed of sale.
Within a few days, Yang Ermiao went to Jiang Xuehe and brought many people.
Yang Ermiao first pushed the three little girls around fifteen or sixteen years old in front of Jiang Xuehe: "Bai Peony and Bai Zhi are a pair of sisters, I think it is suitable to take care of Miss Lan and Miss Xuan." This is Su Hexiang, who has a stable temperament, and should get along with the Xian girl. ”
Jiang Xuehe said with a smile: "Why are they all medicine names?" ”
"Bai Peony and Bai Zhi's father, Old Man Bai, is the doctor of our dart bureau, and he uses the name of medicine to name his son and daughter. Su Hexiang is the daughter of Old Man Bai's sister, and her name was also taken by Old Man Bai. Yang Ermiao said and brought out a boy who was about fourteen or fifteen years old, "This is Bai Shu, the youngest son of Old Man Bai, who is exactly the same age as the sixth master, so let's be a scholar for the sixth master." ”
Jiang Xuehe frowned and said, "This is not very good, right?" Since he is the son of a doctor, he should inherit the mantle of Doctor Bai, right? ”
Yang Ermiao said with a smile: "If he has the heart to inherit the mantle of Doctor Bai, Doctor Bai will not let me send someone here." You don't know, this kid wanders around in front of Dr. Bai every day, and he annoys Dr. Bai so much that he doesn't want this son anymore. Anyway, he has two older brothers above him, and they have learned medical skills well, so they don't need him. ”
Jiang Xuehe agreed to accept the person, thinking that it would be good for Gu Sixing to have a scholar with a little knowledge of pharmacology by his side.
"There is also a eucommia here, which was also thrown to me by the old man Bai. This was originally picked up by him for apprenticeship, but he really has no talent, but he learned kung fu well. Madame can lend him to Liu Gongzi temporarily, if Liu Gongzi has already arranged it, it is just right to put him next to the sixth master. ”
Jiang Xuehe glanced at Du Zhong and was also very satisfied, this child is honest at first glance, plus he was originally adopted as an apprentice, so he should be more able to take care of people.
"Oh yes, this girl's surname is Fang, her name is Yuzhu, she is an orphan girl, her father was originally the account office of our dart bureau, so this girl is also knowledgeable, so let's put it next to Mr. Xiyue to make a move."
Jiang Xuehe thinks it's okay, since every girl has a maid by her side now, it's okay to put one next to Jiang Xiyue. It's nothing at home, and when they go out, their mother and daughter still need someone to protect them.
Therefore, Jiang Xuehe asked: "Then does this well-informed girl know martial arts?" ”
Yang Ermiao nodded and smiled: "Madam, don't worry, the ones I picked out are all good kung fu, and I guarantee that I can deal with all the ruffians and hooligans." ”
Jiang Xuehe accepted it for Jiang Xiyue with confidence.
Yang Ermiao pointed to the remaining people and asked: "These are originally our dart bureau who are responsible for growing vegetables, and they know more about farming, I plan to send them over to Uncle Diao to help them, what does Mrs. think?" ”
Jiang Xuehe said with a smile: "Since you are going to Guanhe Mountain to help, you can just send it over, and Third Uncle Diao will definitely arrange it." ”
Yang Ermiao nodded, he could naturally send it directly to Guanhe Mountain, but in order to avoid causing any trouble in the future, it would be better for him to give Jiang Xuehe a look first. Even if everyone arrives at his post in the end, he will provide a list to Jiang Xuehe.
Yang Ermiao felt that being suspected of guarding against him all the time would affect his work efficiency, so it was better to be careful on weekdays. According to Jiang Xuehe's temperament, as long as he is more honest, Jiang Xuehe will no longer be so defensive of him.
After arranging everyone, Jiang Xuehe took the list that Yang Ermiao gave her to Gu Siyan and asked him to go through it too. When Gu Siyan heard that someone was taking care of his younger brothers and sisters, he hurriedly took it over and read it, and memorized all the information of the first few people.
Seeing that Gu Siyan finished reading the list, Jiang Xuehe took out another book list: "You say, if I want to open a bookstore, is such a book list enough?" Those who have checked have already been bought, and the rest have not been bought yet. ”
Jiang Xuehe then said again about his idea of opening a bookstore, and after Gu Siyan heard it, he looked at Jiang Xuehe in a daze.
Jiang Xuehe was very uncomfortable with him, touched his face and asked, "Is there something on my face?" ”
Gu Siyan smiled: "I'm just thinking about how I got married to such a beautiful girl." Every time Qiao's thinks of you and me, he has to regret it, right? ”
Gu Siyan felt that Jiang Xuehe was simply his lucky star, and since Jiang Xuehe got married, there was nothing he couldn't do well.
"Less poor mouth." Jiang Xuehe glanced at him, "Just tell me, what do you think of opening a bookstore like this?" ”
Gu Siyan said with a smile: "Naturally, it is very good, and it can take care of many aspiring scholars who are shy." ”
"I think so too, this is some of the rules I have written, can you see if there is anything else to add?"
Gu Siyan took the things in her hand and looked at them and said, "Some scholars are really poor, but I'm afraid that they can't afford to pay for pen and ink." You can find a few books that are difficult to buy outside, and then prepare a few books with good writing and ask them to copy the books, and then give them a certain amount of payment. ”
Many bookstores have this method of allowing scholars to copy books to make money, Jiang Xuehe didn't expect it for a while, but she hurriedly added it after Gu Siyan proposed it. She spent more than an hour sorting out with Gu Siyan, and finally found that the bookstore she was going to open seemed to be giving money to those poor scholars in a different way. But it doesn't matter, just do a good deed, right?
Anyway, this bookstore was originally used to accumulate Gu Siyan's reputation, and he thought that he shouldn't be able to make money from the beginning. It's just that if you really can't make money, wouldn't Jiang Xiyue lose money by investing so much money?
Thinking about it this way, Jiang Xuehe felt that she was a little sorry for Jiang Xiyue.
Gu Siyan smiled: "Don't worry, doesn't your bookstore still sell tea and snacks?" When you hold a cultural meeting every month, you will definitely be able to sell a lot, and maybe you will make money by then? ”
That has to attract a lot of money children who love to read and are enthusiastic, right? Jiang Xuehe is not very sure if she can attract such a character.
But since Gu Siyan also thinks that there is no problem, she has to prepare for the bookstore, and she has to get it done before Gu Siyan goes to Fucheng. She had already handed over the decoration to Yang Ermiao before, and all the bookcase furniture she needed had been customized with Yao Carpenter, and now she only needed to complete the book list added by Gu Siyan.
After getting the book list, Yang Ermiao sent several people out to buy them, but some books were really difficult to buy, either they couldn't find them at all, or they could only find one or two copies, and they couldn't match the amount Jiang Xuehe asked them to buy. Jiang Xuehe thought that Mr. Jiang should have some doorways, so she took the book list and asked Jiang Xiyue.
Jiang Xiyue circled most of the books on the book list and said with a smile: "My uncle has these books there, I can help you get some manuscripts, as for the others, they are really not easy to get, even if you don't have everyone for a while, you can't say anything." It's better for you to leave it empty first, and then slowly fill it in when you find it later. ”
Jiang Xuehe sighed and said, "It's all about this." ”
Jiang Xiyue took advantage of the rest to run to Mr. Jiang, and Mr. Jiang regretted it when he saw Jiang Xiyue, always feeling that he had killed this niece.
"How are you doing these days?" Mr. Jiang asked.
Jiang Xiyue said with a smile: "Thanks to Uncle Xiyue, Xiyue has been doing well recently. ”
When Mr. Jiang heard this, he couldn't stand it a little: "Where is my blessing?" It's obviously a disaster for me, if I hadn't found you such a wolf-hearted thing, how could you have been like this in this day? ”
I thought that Mr. Jiang felt that his niece was a talented student, and it would be useless if she married an ordinary farmer, so he wanted to find a promising scholar for her, so he took a fancy to a young scholar named Zhang Cheng. At that time, Zhang Cheng was poor and poor, and he was a little serious about studying, and after trying a few times, Mr. Jiang found that Zhang Cheng was talented, but not too high, and if he worked hard consistently in the future, he would always be able to get a jinshi after studying for fifteen or sixteen years.
Zhang Cheng didn't feel any temptation back then, and he looked very honest. In addition, he was bent on getting ahead, and he had done all the things about stealing the light sac Yingxue, which made Mr. Jiang particularly moved, so he couldn't help but accept this disciple, and he was bent on marrying his niece to him.
The Jiang village chief's family had no opinion, they thought that Mr. Jiang, as the most talented and decent person in their entire Jiangjia Village, could what he said be false? As a good master who has educated countless people, can his vision be worse?
It turns out that Mr. Jiang's vision is really poor, at least he himself feels that his vision is really not credible, otherwise how could he choose a Zhang Cheng for his niece? Since Jiang Xiyue and left, he didn't dare to go back, he only felt that he had no face to see his brother and sister-in-law, and he didn't have the face to see Jiang Xiyue. Now seeing Jiang Xiyue taking the initiative to come to him, he was both happy and guilty in his heart, and he couldn't wait to give all the good things he had on hand to this niece.
