Chapter Seventy-One: Buying a House
Qi Yunshu has seen a lot of big scenes in modern times, and at this time in the middle of the banquet, although she knows that these ladies from the capital are high schools, she does not have half discomfort and inferiority complex because she is just a cook, her confidence and calmness are exuded from the inside out.
Besides, the friends who can make friends with Old Madam Yun are naturally not such powerful eyes, they have the atmosphere and grace of a noble lady.
I think they were originally born in a noble family, and the status of their husband's family is also very lofty, and it has reached the time when they don't need to look at their status when they make friends with people, but the most important thing to pay attention to is their hearts, and whether they can get along with each other's temperament!
Therefore, these three people also had a good impression of Qi Yunshu, but after all, they had no friendship, and she was only most impressed by Mrs. Zhao, the Dali Temple Qing who was sitting next to Mrs. Yun, after finishing the meal.
She is the most beautiful, her temperament is the most gentle and elegant, she speaks the most humorously, and she likes to eat spicy food, and she doesn't have the slightest shelf of a high-ranking official's wife!
After the meal, it was time for the women to chat.
Here, Mrs. Yun said that Mrs. Zhao happened to hear about Yun Niang's craft of making medicinal food, and she also wanted to taste it.
"Yes, I originally heard the old lady say that the medicinal diet you made is so magical, I didn't believe it, but after tasting it, it tastes really good!" Zhao Sushi praised her with a smile.
Qi Yunshu smiled modestly and said that it was just a small craft passed down from her family, not worth mentioning, and politely said that if she had any needs, she could try her best to meet them!
Zhao Sushi saw her so quickly and heard the meaning of her words, and was very comfortable: "I live far away, I can't taste people's craftsmanship every day, it's really a pity, I heard that you have a lot of medicinal recipes there, can you sell one or two to me, and teach me to take them to the people in the house." β
As soon as she opened her mouth, she asked for a medicinal diet prescription, but because Mrs. Yun was present, Qi Yunshu didn't feel that Mrs. Zhao's words were abrupt, but subconsciously looked at Mrs. Yun, there were many medicinal diet prescriptions in her heart, for the sake of Mrs. Yun and the lady of a high-ranking official who liked this fairy, it was nothing to give a few, anyway, one day she would go to the capital, so she should have a good fate!
At that moment, she didn't hesitate to say that she wrote three of them.
Her generosity won a burst of praise from Mrs. Yun and a smile from Mrs. Zhao, and she supported the maid beside her and said, "Qingli, transfer the silver ticket to Yun Niang!" β
When Qi Yunshu heard that she actually wanted to give the money, she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and hurriedly waved her hand and said that she didn't accept it: "The old lady treats me very well, since Mrs. Zhao is a friend of the old lady, I definitely can't accept this silver!" β
Mrs. Zhao smiled suddenly, and handed Old Madam Yun a very discerning look at her and gently persuaded: "Take it, you probably don't know what I do, this silver ticket is just a piece of paper to me, but it must be of great use to you now!" She said something serious for a while, and then joked:
"Actually, I still hope that you can make more money, and then you can come to the capital on the day your husband goes to Beijing to catch the exam! I pointed to the medicinal soup that you made in the capital! β
Qi Yunshu's heart suddenly became hot, she raised her eyes to look at the lady in front of her, the surging in her heart could not be expressed in words, and her lips trembled slightly and bowed to thank her.
Despite this, she still looked at the owner of this time, Mrs. Yun, who was nodding at her and motioning for her to accept it, and quipped: "Don't be polite to her, this is the first female rich woman in our Liang Dynasty, and it is not too much to say that she has a lot of gold and silver mountains at home!" β
The atmosphere was originally a little dignified, but Mrs. Yun's words suddenly made everyone laugh!
Qi Yunshu took down the two hundred taels of silver tickets handed over by the girl named Qingli, which was a huge amount of money for her.
Although she had earned two hundred taels from Young Master Yun by herself earlier, she had also put a lot of effort into it in addition to the cost of working hours and materials.
And selling this medicinal diet recipe is simply a business, but unfortunately not everyone will be as generous as her, and many times the price is only ten taels of silver, twenty taels of silver.
Accepting the silver ticket, Qi Yunshu sat with him on the circle chair for a moment before getting up and leaving. Others treat her as a guest, but she is very self-aware, and she stops at the point.
Looking at her departing back, Old Madam Yun's face was full of smiles, which showed that she really liked her.
And Mrs. Zhao, who had just spent money to buy a son, also raised her lips and smiled, and said meaningfully: "This girl is a good one, and it looks a little similar to me back then!" β
Regarding her suspiciously boastful words, Old Madam Yun nodded: "That's right, that's why I invited her over to see her!" When I first saw her, it was like the first time I saw you! β
Qi Yunshu, who left, knew that the ladies inside had also talked about her, but she was just in a hurry to return to the back kitchen, afraid that Zhao Jing would not find her when he came back.
Walking into the gradually spacious garden, there are all kinds of plants, including tall deciduous broad-leaved trees, which have finished budding and growing new leaves, and the flowers are blooming, giving people a sense of vitality.
Wandering in the sea of green leaves and flowers, Qi Yunshu's heart became more and more excited, the silver ticket in her arms made her happy, and she couldn't help but start looking forward to a better life in the future.
But as soon as he turned a corner, he heard a deep voice: "What is so happy?" β
Qi Yunshu was startled, someone was talking to her!
She looked around in horror, but saw Yun Rugui not far from her, dressed in a white brocade robe walking slowly with his hands behind his back, as if he was leisurely.
If it weren't for Qi Yunshu to be sure that this was indeed the only way for the backyard to lead to the back kitchen, it would be very rare for a master like him to come here on weekdays, so she concluded that he was deliberately here to block her!
Thinking of the two hundred taels of silver she had gotten from him before, as well as the huge amount of money she was carrying in her arms now, her heart was inexplicably tight, and her eyes couldn't help but panic a little.
"What, you're afraid of me?" Yun Rugui approached her, winking at her amusefully from three paces away.
He only now realized that the woman was indeed good-looking, especially after being frightened, and her eyes flickered with a red tide like the rabbits that her sister had raised before.
"No, it's not, is the eldest young master looking for me to have any more medicinal powder? I'm cooking in the back kitchen right now, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave! Qi Yunshu secretly settled down and pretended to be innocent.
"I'm here to tell you that the powder is very useful, maybe I'll consider configuring some more in the future!" Yun Rugui suddenly raised his hand at her, Qi Yunshu saw that the long fingers were stretched over, and hurriedly took a step back, deliberately dodging, but was softly stopped by Yun Rugui: "Don't move!" β
Qi Yunshu's heart was beating violently, she couldn't figure out what he wanted to do?
I could only stare at him nervously, but I saw his outstretched hand on the top of her head, and then gently stretched it down, and there was a white magnolia petal on it.
"What are you so nervous about!" Yun Rugui seemed to be relieved when he saw her, stroked his chest and breathed comfort, and laughed with a "poof".
He did just brush off the top of her hair, and of course his fingers touched her hair, it was dark, thick, straight and smooth, and he loved it!
He smiled very heartily, but the scorching breath hit Qi Yunshu's forehead, which made her very uncomfortable, she couldn't help lowering her head, looking at the tips of her shoes, and suddenly her pointed ears moved, she subconsciously looked behind her, but saw Zhao Jing walking over quickly.
"Lady!" He waved at her from afar.
Qi Yunshu almost seemed to see a savior, and ran towards him like a gust of wind.
Zhao Jing seemed to be walking in a hurry, breathing rapidly and coughing.
Listening to the coughing sound he tried his best to hold, Qi Yunshu felt sad for a while, and hurriedly held him with one hand and patted his back with the other: "You are not in good health, why are you still walking so fast!" β
Smelling the familiar fragrance of the lady, Zhao Jing rarely had a hard mouth, but enjoyed her concern, leaned half of his body towards her, and the other heard that he went around the waist and hugged her: "It's okay, I went to the kitchen from the teacher to look for you and didn't find it, I'm in a hurry!" β
"You are so stupid, you know that every time I come to Yunfu Old Lady Yun, she will call me over!" He also went to the kitchen to find someone.
But after saying that, Qi Yunshu suddenly thought of one thing, she is a woman, and she is naturally allowed to walk here, but Zhao Jing can't, she can come to the back kitchen, just because this is just a place where people live in Yunfu, but she can't go to the inner courtyard.
"Brother Rong, but you're done talking to my father?" Yun Rugui was a little disappointed that he appeared so quickly, but the smile on his face appeared very timely.
"Hmm!" Zhao Jing saw that he was still holding the milky white magnolia petals between his fingers, just now he saw him take it off his lady's hair, this Young Master Yun was afraid that he was thinking about it again, and how did he know that Old Master Yun had something to say to him, could it ......
Zhao Jing's face was not obvious, but his heart was full of vigilance, he held Su Zhi's hand tightly, and he didn't have the heart to talk to him again, saying that since it was okay, they would go to the kitchen to get something and go back.
Yun Rugui stretched out his hand gentlemanly and watched the couple leave, until the back turned the corner at the end of the verandah, he slowly hooked his lips and went straight to the inner courtyard!
The couple who left Yunfu did not immediately go back to Bajiao Village, nor did they go back to Benweilou according to the usual way of thinking, but walked down the street hand in hand.
Qi Yunshu touched the silver ticket hidden in the hidden place in her arms, her heart was hot, she thought that she should go to what she had always wanted to do, but she didn't know what Zhao Jing thought, so she said with some hesitation:
"Zhao Jing, I want to ......"
"Lady, I'll take you somewhere ......"
The two turned around at the same time and spoke at the same time, then stared at each other with wide eyes.
"You speak first!"
"Lady first!"
Hey, I really can't talk about it, and the two of them bumped into each other again.
Qi Yunshu was not polite this time, and pointed to the banner not far in front of him and said, "It's Chengping Yaxing, I want to go there and have a look!" β
Zhao Jing raised his eyebrows and said, "Really? β
As soon as the couple exchanged opinions, they found that the place they just wanted to talk about was actually the same, and even the things were the same.
They all wanted to go there and let the tooth man look at the house.
Qi Yunshu didn't expect that she just mentioned it a little in front of Zhao Jing, and he actually really listened to it, and couldn't help clapping his hands happily, pulling the two of them into the tooth shop.
There are guests who come to the door, and the tooth people inside greet them warmly, and introduce several houses to the two of them, including the courtyard with a large courtyard on the outskirts of the town, which is spacious and cheap, and the one that belongs to the front store and the back yard, which is located in a more prosperous part of the town, and the price is relatively much higher.
Of course, there are also ordinary houses on ordinary streets, and the location and price are medium.
The couple discussed, decided to still want that medium, led by the tooth man to Quzhu Street to see the house, the lot is not as good as the flavor of the building, but only separated by two streets, there is also a small faΓ§ade in front, just because there are few people coming and going, can not make a shop, are used as a warehouse.
It was followed by a courtyard house, in which in addition to the kitchen in the patio, there were five rooms, one main room, and four side rooms.
The inside is quite tidy, Qi Yunshu took a fancy to it at a glance, the key price is not expensive, and the cost performance is high, she immediately made a decision, and Zhao Jing was only responsible for taking out his money.
"One hundred taels!" Qi Yunshu's eyes widened in shock.
She was not surprised at all that she could get four hundred taels of silver, after all, she had the advantage of being reborn and crossed, but Zhao Jing, a native scholar, how did he think of a way to make money?
"Rest assured, a gentleman loves money and takes it from the way, and the husband naturally has the way to make money! It's just that I remember that the price of this house is three hundred taels, and this one hundred taels is not enough, so why don't I go again......"
Qi Yunshu shook her head with a smile and patted her chest to indicate that she was rich!
But it's not easy to reveal it at the moment, so as not to make Zhao Jing think that she looks down on him, after all, it was her idea to break up his family, and it was also her idea to buy a house, if it weren't for her, Zhao Jing would still be living peacefully in the big blue brick house of the Zhao family in Octagonal Village, why bother to work hard for these Laoshizi things?
Zhao Jing saw that she was silent, and saw through her thoughts at a glance, but outside, without saying much, he pulled down her hand and put it in the palm of his hand and rubbed it gently.
She's so good, no wonder she's going to recruit coveted wolves by her side!
It only took half a day for the couple to go to the tooth shop to see the house to settle down, and they were so happy that the tooth man Liu was so happy that he couldn't even stick to the yellow teeth full of eyes, and kept licking his lips, moistening the dry and peeling mouth with saliva, while excitedly asking them if they would go to the county government or wait for Ming'er to go?
"Naturally, this is the case!" The reason why Qi Yunshu bought this house in such a hurry is that she wants to complete the formalities today, and now that the money has been paid and the deed has been written, where can she wait.
One of the six households under the jurisdiction of the county government is mainly in charge of the local land, household registration, taxation, and finance, and the title deed of the house belongs to them. After completing the formalities, Zhao Jing also knew that he had taken the broken silver to dot the errand inside, and when he saw that the officer's face suddenly turned into a flower, he sang loudly: "The name of the owner of the No. 3 courtyard on Quzhu Street is Zhao Jing, the stamp takes effect, and the fish scale atlas will be drawn at the end of the year, in quadruplicate, and stored in the county, government, political envoy department, and household department. β
The couple thanked them, Qi Yunshu suddenly saw something at the small window, her eyes suddenly contracted, and she suddenly couldn't walk.
"Lady?" Zhao Jing noticed her abnormality and hurriedly stepped forward to ask.
Qi Yunshu picked her palms a little nervously: "Uh, I still have something I want to inquire about, can you wait for me outside!" Zhao Jing was suspicious, on the surface he just smiled gently and didn't say anything, and thoughtfully led the tooth man out of the gate, Qi Yunshu bit his lip and stepped forward to pluck up the courage to inquire with the officer......
