Chapter 32 First acquaintance with Zhao Qingyu
Zhu Hongyu didn't talk, just put the prescription she wrote on the counter.
"This is a prescription, according to this ratio, the above four flavor medicines, ground into powder, put into a bamboo sieve."
Runye glanced at the prescription and quickly wrote it down, he took out the four flavors from the medicine drawer, and then put them in the medicine mill to grind them into powder. Then the powder was poured out and placed on a bamboo sieve.
"What's next?"
"Well, pick up the bamboo sieve......"
Runye picked up the bamboo sieve, and Zhu Hongyu led the other end of the bamboo sieve. She shook her elbows and drove the movement of her wrists, only to see that the medicinal powder in the bamboo sieve seemed to have legs, and they came together in twos and threes. When it is almost finished, it is bumped up and down again to make the small pill more plump and rounded.
"My master taught me before, but before he could teach me, he was bedridden."
Zhu Hongyu let go of the bamboo sieve, and shook the bamboo sieve alone in Runye, full of emotion. He vaguely remembered what he had learned six years ago, and after Zhu Hongyu instructed him in some things that were not quite right, Runye quickly learned this technique.
"Okay, Fang Zi has it for you. Everything is given to you. I won't want this recipe in the future. Go ahead and fulfill your dreams. For example, saving people, such as ......"
"Got it."
Runye wasn't much happy after getting the recipe and technique, and his tone was still cold.
Zhu Hongyu felt embarrassed and was about to leave, when she heard someone shouting outside: "Is anyone there?" ”
Zhu Hongyu and Runye looked out of the door, and it turned out that Sister Liu came over with a burden. Zhu Hongyu thought that the clothes should be ready.
"Sister Liu, are the clothes ready?"
"Yes, the clothes are ready." Sister Liu looked inside at Runye, and then at Zhu Hongyu. There was a strange look in his eyes.
Then, she handed over a burden to Zhu Hongyu.
"Girl, inspect the goods, and give me another penny of silver for the final payment."
"Okay, let's talk in the guest room." Zhu Hongyu woke Amber from the guest room, and the two of them inspected the goods in the guest room.
Sister Liu opened the package on the bamboo mat in the guest hall and took out the clothes one by one. The pleated skirt is bright and bright, the straight fit is ironed, the robe is loose and comfortable, the Deluo is majestic and solemn, and the short dress of Zhu Hongyu is light and convenient.
Amber tried on the clothes and was satisfied. Zhu Hongyu also put on new clothes and felt comfortable and fitted. I took off my old clothes and put on new and light clothes, and this summer was a lot cooler all of a sudden.
"Sister Liu, these clothes are very suitable. Your handiwork is so good, I'll ask you to make clothes next time. ”
Sister Liu's heart was overjoyed, this time she made a lot of money from Zhu Hongyu, "I didn't open for three years, and I opened for three years", who would have thought that Zhu Hongyu could be so rich!
"Okay, whatever the girl says!"
Zhu Hongyu changed into new clothes, walked to the guest room and found a penny of silver for Sister Liu.
Amber changed into a skirt, glamorous, like a young lady from a large family.
When Zhu Hongyu returned to the guest hall, she saw that Amber was about to take off her clothes and put on her old clothes, so she quickly stopped her.
"It's good-looking, take it off?"
"Sister, this dress is too expensive, I just want to wear it on important occasions."
Zhu Hongyu shook her head and said, "There is no valuable, where is this dress?" You wear it on weekdays, and we'll make new clothes in a few days. ”
"Well, thank you, sister."
"By the way, let's go to Zhao Gongzi today, don't take it off if you wear this."
Amber nodded, and then folded Zhan Ao and Runye's clothes separately and put them in two piles.
Zhu Hongyu said: "You send clothes to Runye and put Zhan Ao's clothes on the bed." I'll go into the house and clean up, and then let's go find Zhao Gongzi. ”
"Okay, sister."
With that, the two of them acted separately, Zhu Hongyu entered the house and took the silver ticket and the whole silver, and Amber turned around and completed what her sister had explained. The two of them went out together and went straight to Zhao Lizheng's house.
Zhao Lizheng is powerful in the village, and he is also in charge of financial power. And his distant nephew manages some real estate transactions in Peach Blossom Village.
Before the outbreak of the plague, there were many wealthy families in Yunmeng Town who bought land and built houses in Taohua Village, and after the outbreak of the plague, Yunmeng Town was empty, and these rich families never came to these houses again.
There is a shop opposite Zhao Lizheng's house, which is where these vacant houses are traded. Zhu Hongyu couldn't help but sigh, it turned out that there were still people doing these businesses in this era.
Amber and Vermilion arrived at the shop, but there was no plaque hanging on it, and the door was ajar. Because there has been no transaction for too long, this Zhao Gongzi is too lazy to take care of it, just come to the shop in the morning and go home in the afternoon.
Amber is dressed brightly, and Vermilion is a new dress, although it is simply dressed. When the two entered the door, they saw Zhao Gongzi set up a pergola in the courtyard, fighting crickets in it, and he was content. There was a hookah on the table, and a jade wrench, and beside him stood a servant girl, dozing off a stool.
"Zhao Gongzi has to be free."
Zhu Hongyu saw that this person was dressed richly, and thought that it should be Zhao Gongzi. Their family had been poor and had no dealings with this person. just vaguely knew that he was called Zhao Gongzi.
Zhao Qingyu put down the wheat stalks in his hand, looked at the comer, hurriedly got up, and brought stools for Amber and Hongyu.
"Hey, hello two distinguished guests, Xiaolan, go pour tea."
Zhu Hongyu and Amber sat down, and Xiaolan brought a bowl of tea.
"I heard that Zhao Gongzi is here, there is a house to buy, let's take a look."
Zhao Qingyu put the cricket cage aside, and a stack of notebooks under the table was placed on the table.
"What kind of house does the girl want to buy, I recommend it to you."
"Less mosquitoes, sunny, north-south transparency. The three of them live in an easy place, close to the official road and facing the main road. Suitable for reading and doing business. ”
Zhao Qingyu rummaged around, there are not many such houses, but he does have such a deed in his hand.
"Girl, look at this, this is a shop near the official road, but now it has been converted into a private house. The second floor has a view of the river and there are not many mosquitoes. The house is also very large, with two floors and two floors, and you can meet guests and do business below, and there are three bedrooms above. ”
"Sounds like a good choice, is there anything else?"
"Ahh Zhao Qingyu turned out a yellowed title deed, "This house was just renovated last month, and it is more remote than the previous one, but the road surface is not far from the official road according to the regulations of the official road." Thirty years ago, it was the lower courtyard of Sanguan Temple, and the furnishings inside were elegant and clean. If the girl likes Qingxiu, it is a good choice. ”
Zhu Hongyu fumbled for the title deed and asked, "How big is this?" ”
"This one is much bigger than the one above, and it's a boxy two-entry courtyard. There are two rooms on the east side and a kitchen on the west side. There are two transepts at the entrance. Entering the second courtyard, it is also a general regulation, the north is a two-story building, the first floor is a guest hall, and the second floor is suitable for the lady's boudoir. The view in the courtyard is poor, there are no pools and no pavilions. ”
"Well, I like this one a lot, is there?"
Zhao Qingyu rummaged through and found a new title deed.
"This house is also good, close to the foot of the mountain, against the official road, next to our Zhao family's house. It is very suitable for going up and down the mountain to recuperate. Smaller than the second set, it has four bedrooms, and the furniture inside is new this year. On top of that, the house is newly renovated and hasn't been inhabited yet. The room was sunny, airy, and dry, but it was too sunny and a little hot. The location is upwind of the village. There is no waterhole in the house, so you can raise flowers and sell them at a good price. ”
Amber handed Amber three title deeds and a description of the house, and said, "Amber, this will be our home from now on, you can choose what you like." Forget the first set, because Zhanao wants to read. ”
"The lower courtyard of Sanguan Temple, do you like it?"
Zhu Hongyu shook her head and said, "The main thing is that you like it, and it's all the same for me." ”
"Then the lower courtyard of Sanguan Temple, I like it." Amber smiled and looked at her sister.
"Supposedly to study, let's choose a place closer."
"Sister, if you buy a garden and then go to the school to study, you will be laughed at, so it's better to hire a gentleman. In this case, it is not wrong to live in a quiet, sunny place. Besides, this place is the lower courtyard of Sanguan Temple, these old Taoists have seen feng shui all their lives, can they see their own residence wrong? ”
Zhu Hongyu thought about it, it was really this reason, Yang Mansion looked at feng shui, and he lived comfortably. Because of Runye's affairs, she didn't dare to have anything to do with Sanguanmiao, but her sister saw it through.
"How's the furniture going here?"
Zhao Qingyu squinted and smiled, and said, "It's all the things in the lower courtyard of the original Sanguan Temple, simple and pure. If the girl decides to buy this courtyard, I will send someone to renovate it, and we will also add some furniture according to your request. ”
"Okay, so let's go see the house, shall we?"
Zhao Qingyu saw that business was coming, brought the key, and told Xiaolan to greet the guests well, so he left with the Zhu sisters.
The three of them walked in the direction of Sanguan Temple, passing through Sanguan Temple and passing through a bamboo forest, and at the end of the bamboo forest was this courtyard.
Zhao Qingyu opened the door, and a fresh wood fragrance blew out. As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw grass and trees, covering the sky and the sun. The courtyard path was obliterated by weeds, and the main road could still be seen.
As soon as you enter the gate, there is a courtyard with a large copper cylinder in the middle. It is flanked by walking corridors.
The three of them walked along the main road and entered the large living room, which was quaint and old, and decent. There are no fancy decorations, there are four pairs of rose chairs in the guest room, and there is a coffee table. On the main seat are a pair of four-headed hat chairs with slender wooden tables against their backs.
After the living room, the east and west sides of the backyard are the guest hall, living room, kitchen, and ear room, and the north is the middle hall, which is used for the host to meet distinguished guests. The furniture inside is dilapidated.
The last one to enter the courtyard is a small second floor. On the east and west sides are bedrooms, and the small second floor due north can be used for reading and painting, and it is best to be a lady's boudoir. In the middle is a garden, and in the middle of the garden is a small pavilion, which is particularly desolate because of its disrepair.
The courtyard is really good, but it looks dilapidated without renovation. Zhu Hongyu was satisfied, but showed a strange dislike for the courtyard.
"How much silver?"
"Two hundred and thirty taels."
Zhu Hongyu smiled when she heard the price, and she walked outside the courtyard, carefully avoiding the branches along the way.
"The price Zhao Gongzi said was two years ago."
Zhao Qingyu scratched his head, he admitted that the price has not changed, and now few people buy a complete set of houses.
"If the girl thinks the price is too high, we have a smaller house."
"Forget it, let's think about it, let's go build a new house, anyway, we have land at home."
"Girl, stay! Ask the girl to negotiate with me. ”
Zhu Hongyu stopped, she didn't seem to care much about the lower courtyard of Sanguan Temple, and she looked like she could buy it or not.
"One hundred taels."
