Chapter 192: How lucky
Half a month later, although he was eighteen years old, Yan Xiaogongzi, who was still properly taken care of by his family as a child, was packed and taken away by the old steward sent by his eldest brother, and Yu Jiayan and other people who were good friends with Yan Xiaogongzi personally sent him to Shili Pavilion outside Fuxing County with a rich Cheng Yi.
A group of people said goodbye, Yan Xiaogongzi left with reluctance to his friends, and Yu Jiayan accompanied Mingyue to the small courtyard where Yan Xiaogongzi lived before after sending Yan Xiaogongzi off.
Because the small courtyard is located near the relatively prosperous academy, the front of the first courtyard of this house is also the same as the other houses on this street, with three outward-facing doors that can be used as pavement.
It's just that Yan Xiaogongzi didn't make use of these three shops, how many years he lived here, how many years did these three shops be empty and dusty.
As for him and his subordinates, his two servants and two maids have been living with him in the second courtyard of this house, and the rough maid-in-law and the coachman beside him have lived in the east and west wings of the first courtyard of this house.
Fortunately, these subordinates around him are all diligent people carefully selected by the Yan family, although the three shops in front of them did not come in handy, they will also clean it every now and then, so that it will not really be covered with dust.
When Mingyue and Yu Jiayan took over this house, not only was the house not dirty or messy, but also left a lot of miscellaneous things in it.
What mahogany furniture, precious porcelain, brocade cloth, tea and wine, ornaments, calligraphy and painting...
There are even half a jar of rice, half a jar of noodles, a few pieces of meat, a few handfuls of vegetables, half a jar of oil, a number of condiments, as well as various supplements, dry goods, and soil instruments in the warehouse...
In short, as long as Yan Xiaogongzi felt that he didn't need to take it away, he would let people stay in the house alive.
Mingyue and Yu Jiayan walked around the house for a while, and then found that the value of these things left by Yan Xiaogongzi had already exceeded that of this small courtyard that was only worth about two hundred taels of silver.
Yu Jiayan had a few thick black lines hanging on his forehead at that time, and Mingyue sighed with a smile, "Fortunately, you had the foresight and asked me to directly prepare a silver ticket of one thousand taels for him to make Cheng Yi." ”
"You can take this ginseng back to the Ming family directly and give it to our grandfather and grandmother, it would be a pity if you gave it away." Yu Jiayan rubbed his eyebrows, "There are also these official swallows, shark fins, ejiao, and fish maw, you can also watch and send some to our grandpa and our grandmother." ”
Mingyue nodded, "The Gu family and the Jiang family, let's also send a little over, over the years, Young Master Jiang has sent supplements to our grandfather and grandmother." ”
As for the Gu family, Gu Zhixian is Yu Jiayan's mentor, and Mrs. Gu has always regarded them as her juniors.
Yu Jiayan has no opinion, "You leave some for yourself, and you look at the rest of the arrangement." ”
Mingyue smiled slightly.
Since she gave birth to Brother An, Yu Jiayan has been thinking about giving her supplements, obviously she eats brown sugar and hens, which are enough to supplement nutrition and restore vitality, but Yu Jiayan has to watch her take supplements, so that after she finishes confinement, the whole person directly gains more than 20 pounds.
If it weren't for her determined determination to keep dieting and practicing martial arts, where would she still have the good figure she has now?
Fortunately, Yu Jiayan has never disliked Mingyue's thick waist, even when she has the largest belly, Yu Jiayan's eyes on her have always been only love and fascination.
This made Mingyue, who had been worried that after she became ugly, her marriage with Yu Jiayan would have all kinds of minor problems.
You must know that even in the modern society, which claims to be equal between men and women, not all men can treat their pregnant wives the same as before.
And how lucky she is, she was single for 30 years in her previous life, but in this ancient society with low productivity, she found a man who held herself in the palm of her hand to accompany her.
Mingyue, who was full of ironing, did not refute Yu Jiayan, although she really didn't feel that she needed to make a big supplement.
The little couple took their subordinates together to classify the things in the house and dispose of them properly, eating, cloth and other things in the bright moon, and sent some to the Jiang family, the Gu family, and the Ming family, furniture, porcelain, ornaments, calligraphy and paintings, etc., Mingyue left all the furniture and porcelain in the house as they were, and Yu Jiayan's favorite ornaments, calligraphy and paintings were moved back to their own homes, and other things that Yu Jiayan didn't like very much were kept in the library by her to give away.
Although these things are not useful, they are very decent to use for salutes.
"Not counting that hundred-year-old ginseng, if other things are added together, the total price can reach 1,700 or even 1,800 taels." Mingyue was speechless as she handed Yu Jiayan the list of items she listed.
Yu Jiayan knew it in his heart, and he was not surprised at all when he heard Mingyue say this, "He is changing the way to supplement us." ”
Mingyue supported her chin with her left hand, "Let's give a New Year's gift to the Yan family in Fucheng, even if we can't return all the money subsidized by Yan Xiaogongzi to the Yan family, at least we have to let Yan Xiaogongzi know that you have received this favor from him." ”
Yu Jiayan nodded, "Then let's send a gift to the Yan family in Fucheng every New Year's Day in the future." And that guy's birthday or something, I'll give Changping a reminder when the time comes. ”
Because of their gratitude to Yan Xiaogongzi, Mingyue and Yu Jiayan, the young couple, did not rent the house left by Yan Xiaogongzi to others as an ordinary house, but this did not prevent them from making use of the first courtyard in front and the three shops in the first courtyard.
Taking advantage of this period of time a year ago, Mingyue bought four more neat little girls from Ya Po.
The youngest of these four little girls is eleven years old, and the oldest is fourteen years old, and after Mingyue bought them back, she handed them over to the winter solstice to teach them carefully.
Winter Solstice has followed Mingyue to learn a lot of crafts over the years, and with her teaching those little girls on her behalf, Mingyue has more time to spend with her son and husband.
Of course, while enjoying family affection and love, Mingyue did not forget to prepare for the opening of her first shop.
In order to cooperate with her in preparing for the dim sum shop, Yu Jiayan sent Changping and Liu Sanquan to Mingyue, and he himself selected a twelve-year-old boy from Zhuangzi Shengping to serve him.
It is worth mentioning that because he has become a man, his land purchase has also been unprecedentedly smooth.
Before the death and life refused to sell land at a price higher than the market price of 20%, the land exchange, hated to directly slaughter the Yu family's fat sheep with a knife, after Yu Jiayan and others were raised, all of them found Sun Yaren and begged Sun Yaren to help Yu Jiayan deliver a message.
Yu Jiayan did not embarrass them, and with the active help of Sun Yaren, he bought all the nearly 100 acres of land in the hands of those families at a price two percent higher than the market price.
At this point, the fields around his mother's tomb have finally changed their surnames.
