Chapter 51: Housewarming
Zhu Youning leaned on his father's shoulder and put his arm around his father's neck.
She didn't want to say it so bluntly, but her father was the closest relative she came to this world, even closer than her mother.
She still has a lot of things to do in the future, and maybe there are many calculations that are contrary to her father's ideas, and she doesn't want some ideas to accumulate in each other's hearts and become knots, so it is better to say everything at the beginning.
Even if she didn't want to see her father so depressed.
"Daddy, don't think about it, the reason why I dare to do anything is because I know that even if I make a big deal, your mind can give me a lot of ideas."
"Silly girl." Zhu Huating's heart was warm, and he couldn't help but flick Zhu Youning's forehead with his fingertips, "I don't know where you got these confidences." "He doesn't have confidence in himself anymore.
Zhu Youning said: "I know my father's ability, so I naturally believe in my father." Don't be discouraged, Daddy. ”
Zhu Huating smiled when he heard this, but he didn't know for a while whether to nod or talk about the matter with his daughter again.
In the next few days, Zhu Youning and his father were looking for a favorite house. They are a family of three, plus a few servants and maids, and now they have no conditions to put on music, so it is enough to live in a courtyard that they enter.
Not long after, they found a suitable courtyard near the old house of the Zhu family, and the owner of the house was an uncle from the Zhu family's side branch.
The Zhu family is a century-old family, which has been passed down for generations, and there are many relatives in the side branches. There are developed and there are corrupt, this uncle is not as good as a day, and the yard is going to be rented, but if someone is willing to pay money to buy it, it is the best.
Zhu Youning and Zhu Huating had a disagreement on whether to rent or buy the yard.
"Fu Ya'er, I naturally know that it is more practical to buy and live. But we don't have a lot of money. Although you can now have three hundred taels on hand, this is what someone else has stored with you, so how can you use it at will? ”
Zhu Youning has now kept nearly 1,000 taels of silver on behalf of others.
Zhu Youning said with a smile: "Daddy, don't worry, the reason why I dare to use silver is naturally because I have already thought of a way to make money, and I will earn a lot of silver in the future, so it is not expensive to buy a courtyard for three hundred taels to settle down now." ”
"You, you dare to do 10,000 taels if you have a penny!"
Zhu Huating twisted his eyebrows and paced back and forth, still feeling unsteady in his heart, "What if those people come to you to withdraw the silver?" ”
Zhu Youning sneered: "Daddy, they will never come together, I will give as much as I want, it is always enough." ”
Zhu Huating's mind was imprisoned by the Zhu family's original way of saving money.
The silver stored in the Zhu family money village is how much silver each person deposits, which will be locked in a fixed cabinet, which means that the silver money obtained when withdrawing money is the one when it is stored.
And Zhu Youning obviously mixed everyone's money together.
Zhu Huating was a little surprised.
But then he slapped his head with some tears and laughter, rubbed Zhu Youning's hair and said, "Daddy really wants to see what is in your little brain, why did you think of this?" ”
Zhu Youning blushed a little when she was praised, this is not her real ability, but she is just standing on the shoulders of giants.
"But I still think we should rent it." Although Zhu Huating was a little loose, he still insisted.
Zhu Youning was unmoved, and went to talk to the clan uncle by himself, and he should have talked about three hundred taels to two hundred and eighty taels, and there were also some furniture.
The silver was earned by Zhu Youning, and she also kept it all day long, and Zhu Huating couldn't resist his eccentric daughter, thinking that she was indeed smart, much smarter than him, so he acquiesced.
Zhu Huating didn't go to Daddy Liu these days, but took the four maidservants to tidy up the house in advance.
The weather was fine on the day of the move.
Mrs. Li and Zhu Laosan's family reluctantly sent Zhu Huating and Zhu Youning out of the door.
Seeing Zhu Huating's master and servant six people leave in the car, Mrs. Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said in a low voice: "How have I behaved this time?" Why don't you ask the eldest master and Miss Nine to remember my revenge? ”
Zhu Laosan's family laughed: "I knew now, why bother at the beginning." However, I think the eldest master is a kind person, although Miss Nine is shrewd, but she is not unreasonable, we have been loyal and careful to serve for a while, and there should be no mistakes. ”
Mrs. Li nodded, and said a little proudly: "At the beginning, I wanted to enter Wei Ruixuan, what I valued was the character and talent of the eldest master's family, but now you see, my vision is not bad, Miss Nine is a hidden one, and we will follow the eldest master in the future." ”
"Let's go together, anyway, it's not far away, let's go and see it from time to time. Those four little girls are still young after all. ”
"That's it."
……
Zhu Youning didn't know what Mrs. Li and Zhu Laosan's family were thinking, and they had already arrived at the door of their new home.
Entering the door is a shadow wall of five blessings and longevity, and around the shadow wall is a bluestone paved courtyard.
There are three rooms in the main house, there are two wings with ear rooms on each side, the corner of the inverted seat wall is next to the well, a tall laurel tree is planted in the yard, because it is not in season, now it is only the verdant of the tree, a round stone table with a missing corner under the tree, and there are a few furrows of bamboo near the courtyard wall behind the house.
Zhu Youning liked it and shook Zhu Huating's hand excitedly.
Zhu Huating also laughed.
"Daddy, in the future, the East Wing will be used as a study for you. I told them to prepare the big drawings and the pen, ink, paper, and inkstones. There aren't a few books on the shelves right now, but they'll grow in the future. ”
Zhu Huating's eyes were a little hot, and he touched his daughter's head and said nothing.
He is already "never hired", what is the use of reading?
The four little girls were very nimble, quickly put the luggage away, let go of the firecrackers and began to have lunch.
Nightingale is honest and very capable, don't look at her only twelve, but the strength can top the last adult man, although he eats a lot, but the work is also sincere, and the cleaning and kitchen work are all contracted by her.
The other three little girls were busy helping out.
Zhu Youning went to his father's bedroom, and the father and daughter lifted the floor and checked a large box embedded in the ground.
Before Zhu Youning moved here, he had already renovated the bottom of the bed, wrapped the iron sheet and put the camphor wooden box. Now all her money is here.
Zhu Huating was a little worried: "If we store it like this, the copper coins will be even more rusty, and it is not safe to put them at home." ”
Zhu Youning smiled and shook his head: "Father, don't worry, I already have a plan, and soon this will be more than silver." ”
Zhu Huating smacked his tongue when he listened, he wanted to ask, but he felt that he didn't intervene much.
Because he was also very curious, what did Zhu Youning want to do with more and more silver.
