Chapter 441: Peach Blossom Tribulation (9)
u8 update fastest reading network Chen Qiong was a little wary of Mugen's father at first, but after they came into contact for a long time, he felt that although this middle-aged man was a little shrewd, he was not the kind of man who was stingy and uninformed. He is generous and decent, and he is more thoughtful and meticulous than his son Mugen. Chen Qiong gradually accepted him, and was willing to tell him all the checkpoints and precautions that he would encounter in the construction of the courtyard.
Chen Qiong is happy to see that his father and Mugen's father are on good terms, and the old man is the kind of person who was born smoothly, but he only suffered such a big impact in his later years. Chen Qiong had always been worried that he would never be able to pick himself up after being frustrated. And now the old man can not only hold the stick and walk independently, but also take the initiative to come out to give him advice when he encounters difficulties.
Chen Qiong is no longer the person who only knew how to be high-spirited back then, he has been able to listen to a lot of advice after such a big event as a family change. Now that he listened to Jiang Wanmu's words, he looked at her with a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "Miss Jiang, if you act like this, I can feel at ease." I, ah, now worry about those who put the gentleman before the villain, I don't have so much heart and time to go to that kind of trick with others. Don't worry, if you are willing to send me charcoal in the snow, I will do my best to build your yard. Your yard will definitely be able to witness the prosperity of the Chen family for another hundred years. โ
After Jiang Wanmu smiled and told Chen Qiong some of her thoughts, she said to him a little embarrassedly: "Master Chen, do you think that there is something wrong in my yard?" After hearing this, Chen Qiong smiled slightly and said: "In the two courtyards of your house, there are no more houses for the people to live in, which is related to your own work. However, in many courtyards outside the city, the host family did not have such requirements. They usually come to the place of temporary residence in their spare time, and the master wants to live a few days without the service of the next person and have a wild life. โ
Jiang Wanmu frowned and looked at him, the two of them didn't think this was a place to live. Chen Qiong looked at her and smiled slightly. He said, "Miss Jiang, go inside, there is still a place where you can build a house." You live here, and you think that in the future you will have your own carriages coming in and out. You can now prepare a place where you can park your carriage and house some of your relatives. On the one hand, it is your kindness, and on the other hand, inside your yard. In the evening, there will not be so many people. โ
After Jiang Wanmu heard Chen Qiong's words, she looked at him thoughtfully, and then slowly said, "Chen is in charge." You help me think, how big is that space? And how far away is that house? Do you have a way to help me inquire about one or two? If I think it's okay, and I can buy that piece of land, I'll give you the yard to build. Chen Qiong looked at her with a shocked look on his face after hearing this, and he asked directly, "Do you have the heart to leave that matter to me?" Are you so relieved of me? I haven't dealt with that kind of land sale, don't you worry about losing the price? โ
Jiang Wanmu looked at him and smiled, laughing so much that Chen Qiong became a little worried, and he hurriedly said, "You can ask Uncle Jiang to inquire about that kind of thing for you." He acted shrewdly and competently. Jiang Wanmu shook her head with a smile and said: "Master Chen, my father is definitely not as shrewd as you in this regard, and you can give me such a happy answer after I ask you, I believe you must have a success in your heart." The situation of your home will make you have the heart to choose a stable place, and there are us here. You will definitely not let go of such a good place, you are afraid that you have already thought about some things in your heart.
I want to build an extra yard in this place, I want the foundation of the house, and I have to find a middleman in the city. If that's the case, I might as well let you earn that silver tael. As far as the friendship between our two families is concerned, you will definitely do your best, not to mention that you will be responsible for building that courtyard in the future. You'll be more careful about choosing a good place. After Jiang Wanmu finished saying that, she looked at Chen Qiong with a comfortable expression, and he had to nod and say, "Miss Jiang, our family is already optimistic about the foundation of a house, not far from your yard to go inside, I will pay the silver taels in two days."
When your yard is being built. In the beginning, I had no experience, I didn't remember to ask things more carefully, I didn't think about it deeply, and I was a big mistake in this matter. So the middleman you said has the silver taels, I don't have the face to earn that share of the silver, just when you give me the opportunity, let me pass the credit. I had already asked about the price of the land, and I thought it was pretty good. When the people at the gate of the courtyard have dispersed, you will go with me to see the place? If you have the heart, I should go and settle down with someone early, so as not to have too many dreams at night and miss out on a good place. โ
They looked at the gate of the courtyard at the same time, where there were still some people talking to Mugen's father. After Jiang Wanmu nodded to Chen Qiong with a smile, she said calmly: "Master Chen, I'll tell you the truth, I never thought that there would be many people living in this courtyard in the future. Even if you had reminded me at that time, I would have done what you said today. Hearing this, Chen Qiong did not show a relieved look on his face, he sighed lightly and said, "Compared with my father, I am still too immature in this regard. โ
Jiang Wanmu couldn't help laughing when she heard his words, and after seeing the displeasure in his expression, she smiled and said, "Master Chen, when you have your father's current age, you will definitely be much older than him today." Chen Qiong listened to her reassuring words, and after being slightly stunned, he laughed low and said, "Miss Jiang, what you said is that my father is my age, but he has not gone through such a big thing as a family change. The two of them looked at each other and smiled.
Jiang Wanmu In this afternoon, she went directly to a bookstore in Dongcheng. As soon as she entered the door, the shopkeeper looked at her with a look of surprise on his face and said, "Little lazy, have you made an appointment with the owner to meet?" The proprietor had just gone upstairs. After Jiang Wanmu heard this, her eyebrows and eyes bent up, she just rushed over on a whim, she smiled and waved her hand at the shopkeeper, and walked upstairs with an excited look. She went upstairs, and the uncle of the proprietor, who was sitting by the window, looked at her with the same surprised look on his face and said, "Why did you choose this time to come?" Didn't you say you wouldn't go out in the middle of the day in the summer? He deliberately poked his head out of the window and exclaimed, "The sun is blazing as hot outside." โ
Jiang Wanmu ignored his words, and after she smiled and saluted the uncle of the owner, she stretched out her hands to the uncle of the owner and said, "Uncle, I want to buy the foundation of a house, I don't have so much silver, you lend me some silver for dual use first." When autumn came, I would come to the bookstore every day to write to pay off my debts. Uncle Dong's eyes swept over her outstretched hand, he looked at her with flat eyebrows, and asked, "Why do you remember to buy another yard foundation?" Jiang Wanmu withdrew her outstretched hands, she blushed a little and explained the reason, and heard the uncle of the owner shake his head with a smile and said, "Yes, when you leave in a while, I will ask the shopkeeper to pay you two taels of silver in advance." โ
As soon as the matter was over, Jiang Wanmu felt that the upstairs was a little unbearable. After she wiped her face with a handkerchief, she was a little impatient and wiped her face directly with her hands, and she said to the uncle of the owner: "Uncle, I want to leave now." The uncle of the owner looked at Jiang Wanmu with a leisurely face, he stretched out his hand and nodded at the seat by the window, and said: "The heart is calm and naturally cool, lazy, your heart is not quiet, it is too impetuous." Come, sit down by the window and be quiet for a while. Jiang Wanmu had no choice but to walk by the window and sit down, the uncle's eyes kept staring down, Jiang Wanmu followed his eyes and looked down.
On a summer afternoon, it was a little breathless, and on the roads in Dongcheng, there were still cars and people coming and going, and there was no place to come from or a place to return. Jiang Wanmu followed the eyes of the uncle, except for the pedestrians on the road, she couldn't find any other place to fall. She asked a little anxiously, "Uncle, what are you letting me see?" The uncle looked back at her with a smile, and said with a smile: "I want you to take a closer look at the people coming and going below, you are standing upstairs, maybe you can look carefully at what they say?" โ
Jiang Wanmu listened to his words, looked at him with wide eyes, and said, "Uncle, you know that I have never cultivated that kind of knowledge. How can I hear what they are saying, and I am upstairs and they are downstairs? Besides, even if I can read words, I have to stand close to them to see their faces. Uncle, you won't find someone to learn that kind of hidden knowledge in private, right? Uncle, if you listen to me, you just have this talent, and you don't need to delve into that knowledge. The more you know, the more things you have in your heart, and the more unhappy things you have. Whoever is behind the person does not speak of others, and who is not spoken of by others. Uncle, the more people who say about you, it means that you have made great contributions to the world, and only then will the world pay attention to you. โ
After Jiang Wanmu said this, she felt that she was too deeply influenced by the uncle of the owner, and she actually had some meaning that she couldn't stop. When the uncle of the owner heard her words, he smiled and narrowed his eyebrows, and he nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, well said." Little lazy, you still have to listen to your uncle's chatter often, look at what you just said, I am comfortable to listen to, and I treat you in vain. You think too highly of my uncle, I'm a lot older, so I don't have the heart to learn that thing. I've never been one to mind gossip, you, how worried you are. I think it's strange, with your temperament, why are there always some troublemakers around you, so that others will look at you unpleasantly? โ
Jiang Wanmu looked at the uncle of the owner speechlessly, and she whispered: "Uncle, it's hot, I'm in the city, I won't go anywhere else except for you, will it cause trouble?" The uncle of the proprietor looked at her and smiled slightly, while the uncle of the shopkeeper hurried up and handed a letter directly to the uncle of the proprietor. The uncle of the owner took it and tore it directly, and after he saw it, he casually stuffed it into Jiang Wanmu's hand and said, "Take a look." โ
