Chapter 14 The anxious Zhuge Zhuang owner

Yu Jin asked funny, "Zhou Azai, do you know how to write?"

Zhou Azai was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly nodded and replied: "Yes, I will."

Yu Jin said to Liao Fanlin: "Master Liao, you can write and communicate with Zhou Azai." You have a carriage, I brought the sample bag with the car, where can I find you? “

"I'm at Xianghe Teahouse. I'll take you to the car first, and arrange for the coachman to come to the Xianghe Teahouse to find me. Liao Fanlin replied.

"I want two of these clothes, and the handguards you wear." Zhou Azai shivered with cold when he went out, rubbing his ears. He saw Yu Jin put on gloves and hurriedly pointed to his clothes and gloves and said.

Yu Jin nodded and got into the carriage to go home.

Back at Yue's Mansion, Steward Xing, Ah Ji and Xiang were checking the things sent by Major General Zhu and registering them in the account, "Ah Ji, go find the eldest young master and Xi Nu, and ask them to go to the guest room to meet me, and arrange for the kitchen kettle to boil water, I will use it in a while." “

Yu Jin didn't care about Steward Xing and Xiang Tent's surprised eyes, and Ah Ji agreed to run away quickly.

Changbai and Xinu came quickly, Yujin briefly told the two about meeting Zhou Azai and Liao Dagongzi, she asked Changbai to write three letters, and Xinu went to pick up what she promised to go out.

Changbai snorted, "Big sister, I'm sorry, big brother has caused you trouble again." But my father didn't come back..."

Yu Jin sincerely comforted, "Big brother, if my father can't do anything, do you think we can do anything?" To do what we have to do is to help our father. You and your second brother will live in a courtyard first, I'm afraid it's rare for me to be quiet, leave me a courtyard to receive guests. You and the second brother seized the opportunity of Xie Daru and Lord Wang to live here, and quickly asked for questions that they didn't understand. I will think about keeping Mr. Xie, and there is still hope for the spring test next year. “

"Well, I'll listen to my sister's arrangement." Changbai nodded, he understood the meaning of Yu Jin's words, what his father couldn't do, they could only wait.

Yu Jin went back to wash her face, ate two pieces of snacks, and explained the cotton clothes and gloves that Xi Nu wanted to bring, as well as the tea and other businesses to be discussed. Pack up a little, bring the tea set and flute to the warm pavilion in the outer courtyard to meet the two guests.

Xie Daru and Wang Xijiu had just eaten and were chatting with Changqing. Yu Jin went in and hurriedly apologized, "Two old gentlemen, the future is rude." It is really rude to invite the second elder to be entangled in mundane affairs. “

"Hehe, Yan Xiaoyou, the old man just ate after taking a bath here, the clothes are brand new from the inside to the outside, the house is warm and pleasant, I don't feel the cold outside the house at all, there is food and drink with Wang Lao's friends, life is nothing more than this. My little grandson was so comfortable that he couldn't wake up from the kang that he was lying on the kang for a long time. Xie Jidao made no secret of his happiness.

"Brother Xie is right, it is really comfortable to take a hot bath in winter, change into clean new clothes, and sit in a warm room like spring and chat." The king sacrificed wine and smiled, and he praised it.

Seeing the boiling water brought up, Yu Jin hurriedly put the tea set on the table, and said with a smile: "Hou Sheng is making good tea for the two old gentlemen, drinking tea and chatting to make winter life more comfortable."

Yu Jin is proficient in washing tea and making tea, "This tea is so fragrant, like the southern group dragon tea, I traveled to the south and drank it once when I was young." Brother Wang Xian, today we have a mouthful. “

Changqing stepped forward to help carry the pot and pour water, and Yu Jin saw that the two old gentlemen left a connection on her and Changqing's faces, strange that the two had different surnames, but they looked very similar. She explained with a smile: "I was rescued and taken away by my master when I was two years old, and I was the third in the family according to my master's surname, and the two old gentlemen could also call me Yue San." Please, sir. “

The two old gentlemen couldn't wait to pick up the tea, smacking their lips and exclaiming that it was really worthy of being the top grade group dragon tea.

Yu Jin saw Changqing sitting on the side and looked shy and restrained, and greeted with a smile: "Second brother, is it the right taste to take a cup of this ball of dragon tea?"

Changqing picked up the cup and found that the cup was made of bamboo, which was so small that it was only enough for him to take a sip. It tasted a little bitter, but the aftertaste was sweet and fragrant, and he nodded and praised: "It's delicious."

Changbai and Xinu came over, Yujin put down the cup, handed the eldest brother a cup of tea, and said to the two Confucians with a smile: "I ask Mr. Xie to linger for two more days, why don't Lord Wang bring a letter to the family, and I will ask Xinu to send Mr. home."

Wang Boyang was a little hesitant on his face, and seeing that Xie Jidao did not object to Yu Jin's arrangement, he nodded, walked to the table and quickly wrote a letter and handed it to Xinu.

Yu Jin instructed: "Xinu, you bring a bag of porridge noodles, a basket of bean sprouts, and some tofu, bean sprouts, and pickles to Mr. Wang's house." It's not a good thing, Lord Wang, don't shirk it. “

Wang Boyang opened his mouth, seeing that what Yu Jin gave was home-cooked food, he wanted to excuse himself and saw that Yu Jin said it very easily, but he didn't stop it.

His eldest son was the editor of the Hanlin Academy, and the two of them lived for a large family, he couldn't run a business, and his life was tight, with more than enough food and clothing, not to mention wealth. The scholar Qinggao disdains to talk about money and is willing to be poor, and belongs to the Qingliu figure in the DPRK and China.

Xi Nu received the letter and agreed, and entered the city with a few large bags of things with the carriage. Yu Jin saw Xie Duo wake up and sat on the kang obediently, Xie Daru also saw that his grandson was awake, his face was flushed, and he joked with a smile, "Xiao Duo, get up!" Today we live here and don't leave, are you happy? “

"Happy." Xiao Duo smiled shyly.

Xie Daru smiled and said, "Xiaoyou, I see that your Xiao has been brought over, I want to hear your "Smiling Proud Jianghu"."

"The future life has this intention, please ask the two old gentlemen for guidance."

Changqing's eyes were full of incredulity, the flute was sent by him, and he also said that he would teach the eldest sister to blow the flute. Listening to Yu Jin's skillful, he doesn't know how many times more skillful than he does, the sound of the flute is clear, the rhythm is cheerful and distinct, revealing free and easy, unrestrained and uninhibited.

The sound of the flute stopped, and Xie Daru said for a long time: "Xiaoyou has a free and easy heart, and you can play this song only if you have experience in the rivers and lakes and extraordinary knowledge, and it would be better if you could play this song with the piano, but it is difficult to find an ensemble with the same heart and nature."

"Brother Xie is right, the ancients Ji Kang's "Guangling San" has become a masterpiece, I can't imagine that I have the honor to listen to the song "Smiling Proud Jianghu" today, which makes the old man's blood boil and his heart yearns for it."

Xie Daru asked, "Xiaoyou should be able to play the piano!"

Yu Jin guessed that the old gentleman heard the itchy technique of the tune, she replied with a regretful smile: "I can play the piano, but I don't have a piano in my hand, when I find the piano, I will definitely play a song with the old gentleman."

Xie Daru's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "A word is a certainty, the old man is looking forward to playing this song with Xiaoyou."

Xing Ji walked in, stood aside with his hands down, and looked at Yu Jin with anxious eyes and was silent.

Yu Jin knew that Xing Ji must have something to ask for, so she hurriedly got up and gave a salute, "Two old gentlemen, the next generation is a layman, and there are some mundane affairs to deal with, let my two brothers accompany the gentlemen first, if you need anything, Mr. can tell my two brothers." “

Xie nodded a few times, and Yu Jin walked out of the warm pavilion with Xing Ji.

Xing Ji turned the corner of the house and began to report, "There are four cargo ships outside, all of which are moored next to the bridge. There is a middle-aged gentleman who calls himself Zhuge Fengchi, and he wants to see Yan Gongzi by name. My father said that there was no such person, and the man said that Yan Gongzi asked them to come. “

Yu Jin asked, "Have you finished the account of the things you brought from the Zhu Mansion?"

"After entering, there are white rice, noodles, oil, pigs, sheep, fish and other food, there are four treasures of the study, there are two swords, and daggers, jade pendants, tea, wine, cloth, fur, all kinds of seasoning materials, a lot of dry goods, there are a thousand taels of gold, jade ornaments and gold are placed in a box, and the item account room asks for instructions on what to do."

"The kitchen belongs to the kitchen, allocate it to the kitchen for storage, and send the four treasures of the study and wine and tea to the east wing of the warm pavilion, and let the eldest brother sign out the library records. The gold and jade ornaments were handed over to Mrs. Cao for storage, and Cao's mother signed them. The sword and dagger Xi Nu will come to use, and the others will enter the outer library first, and Changshan will be responsible for managing the library, and I will go out of the library with my cards. I'm in this courtyard, and you go and bring people in. Yu Jin stopped outside the courtyard where Changqing lived in the past, and stretched out her hand to point to the courtyard door.

Xing Ji soon brought in a slightly chubby middle-aged man, and when he saw Yu Jin standing at the gate of the courtyard from a distance, he greeted him with a smile, and introduced himself when he entered the door: "You are Yan Gongzi." I am Zhuge Fengchi, Feng Lan is my lobby brother, and he is friends with your master Yan Han Daxia. He was very sad to hear the news of the death of the Variety Hero, and now he is closed at home. I am the uncle of the Weilan clan, and Weilan is the sixth nephew in his younger life. Your letter was sent to the villa, Xiaoliu happened to be not in the village, and he went to the imperial capital of the Jin Chu Kingdom. The owner of the village has already flown the pigeon to pass the book to the Zhuge family pharmacy along the way, so don't let Xiaoliu rush over. In order to show the sincerity of renting a house, the owner sent me to take the waterway to bring three boats of medicinal herbs and a boatload of daily necessities, and asked Gongzi to let us unload the goods first. “

Yu Jin had a headache, this was really unexpected, I didn't expect the owner of Zhuge Zhuang to be so anxious, and he sent it over before the rental contract was signed. Is it because they are afraid that the cold weather will freeze and seal the waterways and delay business?

Zhuge Fengchi observed the words and looks, and saw that Yu Jin was a little embarrassed, so he hurriedly said, "Young Master Yan, although Weilan has not arrived, there are some things I can call the shots, what do you ask for?" “

"Uncle Fenglan and my master are good friends, I don't want to embarrass you, do you know, I only said in my letter that I signed a contract with Zhuge Gongzi, and others are not allowed to talk. If he doesn't arrive at the end of the month, I have other arrangements. “

"Yes, he's sure to come. I have returned to Daliang three days ago, and it is estimated that it will arrive in the next two days. “

"Although the rent of the contract is not high, I have the conditions, and I may not be able to negotiate."

Feng Chi said confidently: "I will definitely be able to negotiate." The owner of the village trusts Brother Feng Lan's vision is not bad, and he believes in the apprentice taught by Yan Daxia, not to mention that Yan Gongzi is famous for his words. Please talk about the conditions, the medicine will lose its effect if it enters the moisture in the water, and the son doesn't want us to have such a big loss! “

"This really makes it difficult for me, you can unload the goods, but the rental fee is ten taels a day. Start counting today until the contract is signed. If it doesn't arrive at the end of the month or you can't sign it, you have to promise to move out unconditionally, and you can agree. “

Feng Chi agreed very simply, "Cheng, I'll pay three days in advance." If Xiaoliu comes on the 16th, the house will definitely be rented, and there will be no ten taels of rent a day! “

Yu Jin nodded and promised, "That's nature." “
