I have to say that people who can climb to the position of housekeeper have much smarter brains than ordinary people.

The chief butler arranged the gardener's affairs in a few words.

Then, he talked about the yard again, "The kind of yard that the uncle and the county lord fancy is generally placed in the household department for archiving, and after the age is uniformly copied, it is handed over for sale. Of course, if you want to buy it in advance, it is not impossible.

"In this way, the uncle and the county lord took the old slave, let's go to the household yamen together, the old slave took the name of the Hou Ye, went in and asked how much the courtyard costed. If you can buy it, just buy it, okay? ”

"Okay, thank you, big butler."

Of course, Jiayin was happy, the gardener settled down, and if the yard was bought again, the preliminary preparations would be basically completed.

As for the famous flowers......

There was already too much stuff in her space, so she could move it out quickly and relax.

Soon, the chief housekeeper explained a few words to the housekeeper, and then carried the basket of grapes, and followed the Li family's carriage away.

There is still half an hour, and the household yamen is about to rest for dinner, and all the classes are very lazy.

The officials drank a cup of tea casually, gossiped about it, and then dispersed.

The chief housekeeper took the name of the Hou Ye and went in, and in less than a moment, he led two small officials out.

The two little officials were very polite, stood under the car window, saluted Li Lao Er and Jiayin, and then the big housekeeper took them to hire a carriage on the side of the street and went straight to the small courtyard in the southeast of Xindu.

The seal at the front of the small courtyard is not easy to remove, but the back door is accessible.

Everyone entered through the back door, and Li Lao Er and Jiayin only looked back and forth for a while, and then settled here.

The small courtyard is a two-and-a-half pattern, and the front door has half a courtyard, which can park a carriage or a sedan chair.

Then enter the second door, the patio is very spacious, whether it is a flowering garden or a flower stand, it is enough.

There are three main rooms and three west wings.

It is also convenient to entertain ordinary guests, live in a florist's family, or on a stormy day, and move potted flowers to hide.

The last into the courtyard, the west side of the three rooms can be a weekday stay, the main room three rooms are reserved for occasional banquets.

The most desirable thing is that there is also a moon gate on the east wall, and through the moon gate, there is a small garden, the size of an acre.

Jiayin's first reaction was that this is simply too suitable for making a greenhouse!

Think of the winter days, when the grass and trees are withering and the snow is falling, if there is a warm greenhouse like spring, full of flowers.

Guests sit among the flowers, enjoy the flowers, drink a cup of tea, talk, absolutely no one can resist such enjoyment and temptation!

The two officials got the explanation of their bosses, and they were very polite to Uncle Li and the county lord.

When I heard that they had set up this courtyard, they said that they could go through the formalities immediately.

The price is very cheap, as long as eight hundred taels, which is simply the price of breaking a bone.

You must know that this place is very close to Dongcheng, and the officials of the previous dynasty, or the second son of a wealthy family, are most favored by this location.

Such a yard is priced at two thousand taels, and it can be sold in the blink of an eye.

Li Laoer is an earl, and he needs to go to the court, and according to the rules, he can't do business in person and compete with the people.

Jiayin is the county lord, he is young, and no one necessarily cares, but he still has to take precautions, so this courtyard is under Tao Hongying's name.

Everyone returned to the front of the yamen of the household department, and Jiayin took advantage of the secret grid in the car to cover up, and actually took the silver ticket from the space, as well as a bag of broken silver, and asked Zheng Feng and the big housekeeper to go through the formalities.

In addition, Li Lao Er also asked Zheng He to run errands and go to the cyclamen to ask for a table of banquets.

It just so happened that Zheng Feng and the big housekeeper came out with the deed, and the young man from the cyclamen also arrived with a big food box.

Fang Cai's two officials and his boss were already very surprised when they got thirty taels of silver.

I didn't expect there to be a cyclamen banquet, and I was even happier to have a good lunch meal.

They have done things for the nobles before, but most of them are arrogant, not to mention the benefits, it would be good not to be scolded.

Like the Li family, they are so generous and thoughtful, but there are not many, I can't say, they will look forward to the Li family coming a few more times in the future......

Mrs. Li has been a little distracted all day, to be honest, her granddaughter has grown up so big, and she has rarely left her for so long.

She was worried that her granddaughter was hot and thirsty, and then she was worried that her son would lose her granddaughter.

There are many bad people on the street, and the granddaughter is beautiful and cute, what if she is taken away?!

Tao Hongying was worried that her mother-in-law was at home by herself, afraid that she would not eat well, so she came back from the canteen early in the afternoon, and sure enough, she saw that her mother-in-law had only eaten half a bowl of porridge.

When she heard her mother-in-law say that she was worried about her daughter's abduction, she couldn't help but tell the truth.

"Mother, as the old saying goes, your own crooked melons and cracked dates are all treasures. In your eyes, Fu Niu'er is very good, but maybe the kidnapper will dislike it when he sees Fu Niu'er.

"After all, she's so fat, she can't hold it when she wants to pick it up! Besides, even if you turn back, it's a waste of food, and the food for one of her is enough to raise three thin children! ”

This is really a mother-in-law, and every sentence is "disgusted"!

Shui Yun and Wen Juan covered their mouths and couldn't help laughing when they heard it.

Mrs. Li also pinched her daughter-in-law while laughing, and said angrily: "My granddaughter is good everywhere except for being fat, why is no one abducting and selling!" You are so disgusted, don't be a mother to Fu Niu'er, pass it on to Yuru, she can wake up with a smile in her dreams! ”

Tao Hongying pretended to be pinched, hugged her mother-in-law's arm and complained that her mother-in-law was partial, only her granddaughter, not her daughter-in-law.

Mrs. Li almost lost her hair in a bun, and scolded with a smile: "You and Fu Niu'er are really close to each other, just look at my hair is not pleasing to the eye." ”

Tao Hongying smiled, took a silver comb from her head, sat behind her mother-in-law, and re-combed her mother-in-law's hair.

It was the time of the bustle, and the carriage into the city returned.

Jiayin ran in from outside the door with Jiulian Zhai's snacks in her hand and beads of sweat on her head, shouting, "Grandma, I'm back, I'll bring you something delicious!" ”

Xu didn't see the threshold, she stumbled under her feet, and rolled in.

Everyone was shocked, and Tao Hongying didn't run to him, so she picked up her daughter.

That's when you see the benefits of thick meat.

Jiayin made a rolling gourd, except for the dirty dress, there was no bruise and scratch on his body.

Li Lao Er carried the grapes, followed behind, took two steps slowly, and watched his niece "perform" and did not stop.

Needless to say, he was beaten by his mother again.

"I'll just say that you don't look at the child well, I'm worried that you lost Fu Niu'er, but when you arrived at the door, you let the child fall!"

Li Lao Er died unjustly, but he didn't dare to argue with the old lady, so he could only raise the grape basket as a shield, "Mother, I'll wash the grapes for you!" ”

With that, he ran away.

Jiayin was very hot, and his shirt was dirty, so he simply took it off and hugged his grandmother's thighs and was coquettish.

"Grandma, let me tell you, my second uncle and I have bought a yard, which is very good! There is also a garden, you can build a greenhouse! In winter, I take my grandmother to see the flowers, which must be warm and beautiful, like a heavenly palace! ”
