Seeing that Du Jinning was about to leave again after speaking, Jiangbei hurriedly said: "I am not unwilling. My brother and sister have been separated for two years and have endured many hardships, and I now know that it is not easy to establish ourselves on the outside. It is our luck to meet a kind host. Please also ask the young master to stay with us, we will definitely work diligently and diligently, we will not eat rice, and we will not cause trouble for you, young master. ”

Seeing that he was sincere, Du Jinning asked, "Do you really want to stay and be a subordinate?" ”

"Yes, please take us in." Jiangbei is sincere.

"That's fine. Then I'll see how you perform. Du Jinning didn't refuse, walked over and picked up the deed of sale and put it away, and then went out and went back to the front yard.

With Qi Muyuan, a master with strange living habits, Uncle Shen's family can understand Du Jinning's requirements very well. Du Jinning had dinner with Qi Muyuan, and then asked Shen Ming to carry two buckets of hot water into the courtyard, and then closed the courtyard door. The courtyards of this kind of family are designed to be reasonable, and each courtyard has a latrine and bathing place. Du Jinning took a bath, washed the clothes again, dried the clothes, and then lay down on the bed and fell asleep, and when she woke up and went out, she found that Wang Fulai had already come, chatting with Old Man Shen while eating in the kitchen. There was also Yao Shuqi sitting next to him.

"Young Master." Seeing Du Jinning, Wang Fulai, Yao Shuqi and others all stood up.

Seeing Yao Shuqi coming, Du Jinning was very happy. Motioning for them to sit down, she asked Yao Shuqi, "Why are you here?" ”

"I've been waiting in the courtyard over there, I never thought that you would come here, young master." Yao Shuqi said with a smile, "I'll come over to say hello to you, and by the way, I'll tell you about the house." ”

"Come and talk in my yard." Some words are not easy to say in front of outsiders, Du Jinning stood up, and seeing that Wang Fulai also wanted to get up, she hurriedly said, "Uncle Wang, you can eat, and after eating, let Uncle Shen take you to find a room to live in." ”

There are a lot of subordinate rooms here in Qi Mansion, all of which are empty, so that Wang Fulai can live here, and it is convenient for her to go in and out and use the car. If you have anything to say to Yao Shuqi, someone can help spread the word. Otherwise, it would be inappropriate to bother Liu Gao or the people of Old Man Shen's family for everything.

"Okay, young master." Wang Fulai stood up and agreed, and then sat down and continued to eat.

Du Jinning took Yao Shuqi into the hall of her courtyard and sat down, stretched out his hand to pour him a cup of tea.

Yao Shuqi didn't even dare to say it, and said, "Young master, you should buy a few subordinates." ”

"I didn't buy it." Du Jinning told the Jiangbei brothers and sisters about it.

Yao Shuqi is an old Jianghu, and he has been a shopkeeper in Fucheng for the past two years, and he has become more and more shrewd.

When he heard this, he frowned: "I'm afraid this Jiangbei is not a safe place, or you can put him in my shop to be a partner, don't put him by your side." ”

"Let's take a look first." Du Jinning said.

Seeing that Du Jinning had an idea, Yao Shuqi no longer mentioned this matter, but talked about buying a house: "Uncle Shen just told me, you went to see the house opposite?" ”

Du Jinning nodded, told the situation of the house, and asked Yao Shuqi: "What do you say about this?" ”

Yao Shuqi pondered for a moment: "Speaking of which, although the price of this house is high, the house is not good, and it is necessary to ask people to buy materials to build the house, and it is not a good place to work hard." But it has one advantage, that is, it is close to Young Master Qi's side, and there is anything that can be taken care of by the Qi family. ”

Du Jinning nodded: "That's exactly what I thought, that's why I hesitated." As she spoke, she asked, "You have three houses at hand, tell me about the situation." ”

Yao Shuqi told the situation of the three houses.

These three houses were carefully selected by him. According to Du Jinning's requirements, there are basically two to three courtyards, the yard covers a small area, and a family of four plus some people is neither crowded nor wasteful. The locations are not bad, they are all near Fuxue, due to different circumstances, there are some differences in price, ranging from 1,000 taels to 2,000 taels of silver.

"Let's check it out tomorrow." Although Du Jinning liked the piece of land diagonally opposite the door, he still decided to take a look.

The two made an appointment to meet tomorrow at a time and place, and Yao Shuqi took his leave.

After Yao Shuqi left, Du Jinning sharpened the ink and practiced calligraphy, and completed today's homework.

"Young Master Du, it's time to eat." Shen Ming's shouts came from outside the hospital.

Du Jinning agreed, washed his pen and cleaned up, went to the front yard to have dinner with Qi Muyuan, and told him about going to the house tomorrow by the way.

"We'll go with you tomorrow." Qi Muyuan came to Fucheng this time to accompany Du Jinning to see the house, so he naturally wanted to follow.

He cleaned his hands and said, "If you really like the place opposite, you can ask Shen Qingshan or Shopkeeper Yao to go to Cao Zhongren, stuff him with some silver, and let him persuade Old Man Wei to facilitate this matter." ”

Du Jinning wiped his hands and looked at Qi Muyuan. She did have such a plan, but she was worried that Qi Muyuan would not approve of this approach, so she didn't mention it. Unexpectedly, Qi Muyuan also thought of this method.

"Don't you think it's above board enough?" She asked.

Qi Muyuan glanced at her in surprise and asked, "Do you think this is not fair?" ”

"No, no." Du Jinning hurriedly shook his head, "I just want to do this." But I'm afraid you're not above board enough. ”

The two looked at each other, looked at each other and smiled.

"Let's go see those houses tomorrow, and then talk about it." Du Jinning said.

"Okay." Qi Muyuan nodded.

After cleaning their hands, the two sat opposite each other to eat. Qi Muyuan pushed a plate of fish to Du Jinning's side and said, "You love fish, Aunt Shen specially made it for you." ”

"Ahh Du Jinning picked up the most tender piece of fish meat in the belly of the fish, put it in his mouth, and nodded in praise, "It's delicious." ”

The fish in this era are all wild, the rivers and lakes are not polluted, and the taste of the fish is very good, and Du Jinning likes to eat it very much. Although the cooking techniques of people in this era are single, and the fish is always a little fishy, Du Jinning can still bear it.

But Qi Muyuan couldn't stand a little fishy anger, probably because of his special experience when he was a child. Not only is he clean, but he is also very picky about eating. He always thinks that meat dishes are fishy, and rarely touches meat and fish, and generally eats more vegetarian dishes.

But fortunately, he is not to the point where he can't see others eating meat in front of him.

Seeing that Qi Muyuan only ate the three plates of vegetarian dishes in front of him, Du Jinning was a little worried about him: "You keep eating like this, and your nutrition can't keep up." She touched her chin, "Why don't I make two dishes for you?" ”

Qi Muyuan stopped his chopsticks, his eyes widened: "You still know how to cook?" ”
