Chapter 226: Come back to me if you're satisfied
The next day, Bao Ying and Zhiyan took the carriage sent by Jin Siye and went to the county seat.
As soon as Aunt Wen saw her, she took her hand lovingly and said very sincerely: "I have listened to my cousin about everything in your family, poor child, you and your eldest brother are both strong and good children!" It's hard for you, at this time, you have to come out and heal me......"
As soon as Gu Baoying heard it, she understood that it was Jin Siye who told Aunt Wen what happened at the funeral in Jiangzhen.
"Aunt Wen can remember me and my eldest brother in my heart, I will be content, I am a doctor after all, and I hope you can stand up as soon as possible like my eldest brother." She said with a smile.
"Hmmm! I heard from my cousin! Your big brother is so good! I actually stood up again! When Aunt Wen mentioned Gu Xian, her words were filled with admiration.
"You can too!" Gu Baoying knew that Aunt Wen was taking Gu Xian as a role model, so she hurriedly cheered her up.
The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Bao Ying began to acupuncture for Aunt Wen.
Xu is usually no one in the yard can talk to her, so she pulled Baoying and said this and that.
asked Gu Baoying about her future plans, and Baoying replied truthfully: "I have discussed it with my mother, and I plan to move to the county seat next month, and I plan to go to the fourth master for help later, and let him show me what suitable house there is......"
"Then stay here with me!"
When Aunt Wen heard this, she was warmly invited, "How big do you think my yard is?" I live alone, and I don't usually have anyone to talk to, so I'm very lonely......"
But how can this work!
Gu Baoying suddenly wiped her sweat secretly.
"I think that Aunt Wen's yard is not only big, but also very elegant and beautiful, and the person who bought this yard must have spent a lot of energy, right? But there are many people in my family, and in addition to my mother and them, there are also Aunt Liu, Aunt Liu's son and Sister Wen Fang who want to live together, and plan to do business together. She hurriedly declined.
"That's right." As soon as Aunt Wen heard this, she dispelled the idea of living together.
Although she thinks that there is no one to talk with her, she can't stand it if there is really a group of people coming, going in and out every day, doing business, and children making noise.
"You said you want to do business? What kind of business do you do? Are you still planning to open a medical clinic? It's not okay for the hospital to be open at home......" Aunt Wen became interested in this matter again.
"I haven't decided whether to open the clinic again."
Gu Baoying couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw that she gave up the idea of living together, "But this business is my mother's, my mother and Aunt Liu used to be famous embroiderers in the south of the Yangtze River, I plan to wait for next year to open an embroidery workshop at home, specializing in making clothes, embroidered handkerchiefs, and group fans for the female dependents of large families, but I don't know if it will work." ”
As she spoke, Aunt Wen also listened carefully.
"I heard that big families have their own needlework rooms, so I'm afraid that I won't be able to get a job when the time comes, and it's not easy to open a shop. She just sighed as she spoke.
"What's the matter? You're still sighing. ”
Aunt Wen saw that Gu Baoying was usually a little adult, and everything was successful, but now she was worried, and she couldn't help but feel a little funny, "Big families do have their own sewing rooms, but it also depends on whether there are such capable people in the sewing room, if there are good ones outside, they will also find people outside." ”
She solved Gu Baoying's doubts, thought about it, and said, "That's it, I still have some spare money in my hand, you can see when the time comes, whether you hire someone to open a shop in the county town, or take embroidery work at home!" I can take a stake! Even human hands can help you take a look! ”
"Are you going to take a stake?" Gu Baoying was really surprised.
"What? Don't you like it? Aunt Wen pretended to be displeased and glared at her.
"Of course not!" Gu Baoying smiled, "If you help, it would be great!" But I have to wait for next year, and my mother made a contract with a shopkeeper in the county to do embroidery work for him for half a year. ”
"Really? Which shopkeeper's? Tell me, maybe I know. Aunt Wen asked curiously.
Gu Baoying then told the shopkeeper about the previous encounter with the shopkeeper in the Mid-Autumn Festival, but the link of the Yang family's mother and daughter making trouble was omitted.
The two just chatted.
Aunt Wen enthusiastically gave her advice.
Gu Baoying had already beaten Aunt Wen's idea, and she was thinking about how to say that Aunt Wen would help, but she didn't expect her to be so enthusiastic, and she couldn't help but be grateful and happy.
After treating Aunt Wen, Gu Baoying said goodbye and left with Zhiyan and went to find Jin Siye for help.
As soon as Jin Siye heard that she wanted to buy a house in the county seat, he instructed his subordinates to find a tooth man to come over.
The Naya people are middle-aged people who specialize in helping people buy and sell houses in the county, and when they came, they held a booklet listing all kinds of houses.
Bao Ying thinks about it.
Their family plus Aunt Liu, Xiaohu, and Feng's family are a total of seven people, if they buy a yard to enter, they can live in their own house, but Aunt Liu They will definitely not be enough to live.
It's to buy a two-in, and it's nervous to live.
However, because there are more academies in Maoxian County, there are many students who come to study, and the housing prices are also more expensive than other places, all of which have caught up with the prices of the state capital.
Gu Baoying looked at it again and again, considering that it was possible to open an embroidery workshop at home to do business, and after Xu was born, he had to buy two maids to help take care of him, and in the future, Gu Xian and Zhiyan went to study in the academy, and they had to buy two errands around them, plus to eat, they had to recruit a cook, there were so many people in the family, and there had to be a rough mother-in-law who washed clothes......
She gritted her teeth and chose a two-entry yard!
At this moment, the five hundred taels of silver given by the Hong family were less than one hundred taels left!
Jin Siye looked at her with a painful look and was secretly amused.
"You can still make money if you don't have the money, but you are really short of money, so I told Zhiyan not to study for the imperial examination, follow me to make money, and I will soon earn back the capital you bought a house." He quipped deliberately.
"Still no, I call it long-term investment, and the returns are later." Gu Baoying endured the pain and comforted herself.
"Then let this tooth man take you to see these courtyards first, I asked Lin Sheng to follow, if you are satisfied, come back to me, and then I will accompany you to Yaxing to hand over the deed of the house." Jin Siye said with a smile.
"Well, thank you Fourth Master." Gu Baoying knew that he was afraid that he would be pitted by the tooth man, and said gratefully.
Lin Sheng is a small guy who often follows Jin Siye, and he is very clever.
He followed all the way, but the tooth man didn't have to raise the price.
Gu Baoying and Zhiyan went to see a few two-entry houses, and finally settled on a courtyard in the hexagonal alley at the east end of the city.
It is far away from the downtown area, more secluded, and close to the house where Aunt Wen lives now, so it is convenient to walk around in the future, and the most important thing is that the yard is larger, just a row next to the main house in the north, there are a total of seven rooms.
There are three main rooms, and there is also an ear room on each side.
Bao Ying calculated in her heart, when the time comes, let the Xu family live in the main house, and find two little maids to take turns by her side, and she will live in two ear rooms on the west side of the main house that are separated in a separate courtyard.
In addition, there are five wing rooms in the east and west, and four inverted seats in the south, which are enough for my brother and Aunt Liu to live with the maids and sisters-in-law.
After reading it, she discussed with Zhiyan for a while, and then went back to find Jin Siye.
