Chapter 12: Slap Lu in the face
Yang Muzhong told Yang Qiaoyue what he learned from the exploration on the street, and now it is a famine year, and most of the shops have no business.
Many Zhuangzi are being sold on the street, and people with money want to leave Yan County, and the price is not too expensive, and a Zhuangzi is around 300 taels.
"Yan County is barren but covers a wide area, and the land in Zhuangzi outside the city may be cheaper."
Yang Qiaoyue nodded slightly: "Fourth brother of hard work, drink tea first, warm up your body, and En'en specially brewed cold medicine tea." ”
Mu Enen was boiling tea on the side, and was a little surprised when he heard Yang Qiaoyue inquire about Zhuangzi, a woman had never heard of buying a Zhuangzi.
Yang Muzhong held the cup and drank tea, he was already used to acting for the seventh sister, and he was not surprised, no matter what she did, he would support her with both hands.
And the family is really unfair to her and the fourth aunt, although he is angry, he has no position to speak and blame the elders.
After sitting for a while, Yang Qiaoyue said with a smile: "The weather is warming up today, the fourth brother will take us out for a walk?" ”
"Now?"
Yang Qiaoyue nodded, she and En'en are both female dependents, and their mother will not allow them to go out alone, and they will not be hindered if the fourth brother is there.
Yang Muzhong saw that she was serious and did not refuse, knowing that she wanted to see the Zhuangzi everywhere in person.
The three of them went to Dongxi Courtyard to talk to the Lu family, and the Lu family knew that her daughter was acting steadily, and Yang Muzhong followed, so she had no objection.
The Yang family didn't have a few subordinates, except for the kitchen, one in each room and the old grandmother, no one else took care of them.
When they went out, no one followed.
As soon as Yang Qiaoyue went out on the front foot, Liu's back foot received the news and ran to the east chamber to complain to the old lady.
East Chamber
Liu took his two daughters to serve in front of him: "Mother, that Yang Qiaoyue is too unruly, and she has brought the style of the countryside to the county seat." As a female dependant of an official family, she went out like this, and others would only say that the female dependents of our Yang Mansion were not educated. ”
The Yang family is so big, Yang Qiaoyue and the three of them went out, and the old grandmother naturally knew about it for the first time, but she didn't stop it.
Seeing that the old lady looked flat, Liu's voice became quieter and quieter.
"The fourth and second daughter-in-law, don't be too concerned about Qiaoyue and the eldest daughter-in-law. They have been in the countryside for two years, and they have a lot of discomfort when they first come to the county. Besides, he is still young, and he has Zhong'er to follow, so why did he get involved with other female relatives of the Yang family. The old grandmother was stern.
She knew that her son had suffered a loss to the Lu family and daughter in the past two years, and if it weren't for the mother's family behind the Liu family and her son's evaluation this year, she would definitely reprimand the Liu family.
Liu lowered his head and didn't mention the matter anymore, originally wanting to use the topic to play.
When Yang Chen and Yang Lanhua saw that their mother was accused, they were so smart that they coquetted in front of their grandmother, so that she should not be angry.
The old lady looked at the two well-behaved and intelligent children, and her face softened: "Okay, you are also for the reputation of the Yang family, so there is no need to be harsh." ”
Only then did Liu raise his head and talk to the old lady about teaching Yang Chen and Yang Lanhua sisters.
Because the family did not have the money and ability to invite the female master into the house to teach the female red and etiquette, he let the Liu family, who was born in a high family, teach himself.
Yang Chen and Yang Lanhua sisters took out their female red and handwriting, and the old grandmother nodded with great satisfaction.
"The teaching is very good, and it is worthy of being taught by a well-known female master in Beijing. Although our Yang family is weak at the moment, there will always be a day to turn over, and the etiquette of the Yang family cannot lag behind, and it is also necessary to prepare for finding a scholarly family in the future. ”
Liu nodded, she has no son now, her daughter is trying her best to teach, if she fails to give birth to a son in the end, she will have to rely on her two daughters for the rest of her life.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but be jealous of the Lu family, who had three sons to support him, and finally gave birth to a daughter.
I'm mad at her! In the two years that the Lu family was in the countryside, Yang Jiapei had been resting in his room, and his stomach did not move at all.
"By the way, Yue'er will be the year of the golden fork next year, let her learn from you. Although she is two years behind, it is not too late, she is a concubine, and her level also determines the other girls of the Yang family. The old grandmother said suddenly.
Liu was stunned and asked her to teach Lu's daughter? She was unwilling, and immediately said: "Mother, it's not that I don't want to, I'm afraid Yue'er won't learn from me." When the time comes, it's all my aunt's fault that it's hard to talk about it or not learn well. ”
"Don't think too much, I'll talk to the Lu family about this, for the sake of Yue'er, she will understand, if you agree to only discipline."
The old grandmother's attitude in this matter is more resolute, she still doesn't want the Yang family's daughters to be compared too much, after all, they owe her mother and daughter.
……
Yang Qiaoyue left the house and didn't know the arrangements of her grandmother, even if she knew, she wouldn't go. This is a slap in the face of the Lu family, clearly telling others that the main room is not as good as the side room!
The three of them walked around the city, and although Yang Qiaoyue and Mu Enen were wearing hats, they still attracted a lot of fingers.
The rules for girls in the county town are much stricter than those in the countryside and towns, and Mu Enen is a little uncomfortable listening to other people's discussions. Looking up at Yang Qiaoyue, she didn't care about other people's words, as if she hadn't heard them, and walked into the pawn shop.
Although it was a few children, the voice came to the door, and the shopkeeper did not turn it away, looking at a few people dressing, it was not a homeless person.
"How many, I don't know what the shop can do?" The shopkeeper is skinny, a typical businessman with a smiling face.
Yang Muzhong and Mu Enen didn't know what Yang Qiaoyue was doing when they came to the pawnshop, and mistakenly thought that she was going to pawn something.
"Shopkeeper, I think there should be a lot of people here who mortgage the title deed. I want to buy a Zhuangzi, I don't know if I can help? Yang Qiaoyue asked casually.
Buy Zhuangzi? Big deal! The shopkeeper hasn't been to big business for half a year, and in this ghost place of Yan County, there have been disasters and famines for many years, and businessmen don't make money doing anything.
The original Zhuangzi shop land came to him to pawn it, and many people wanted to sell the land deed and leave this ghost place.
His attitude was even more earnest, rubbing his hands: "Naturally, the girl is the most suitable to find us, and she can have whatever she wants." ”
While inviting the three of them to the side room to talk, he scolded and urged his subordinates to serve tea.
Yang Qiaoyue saw that the other party was not slacking off because she was young, but she was a qualified businessman, and the business was most taboo to judge people by their appearance.
"I want a Zhuangzi with a few acres of land, which doesn't need a lot of rooms, doesn't need to be luxurious, but it needs to be empty and have a lot of land. It is best to have a large area of land nearby that can be rented or sold. Is there a suitable shopkeeper to see if there is a suitable one? ”
The middle-aged shopkeeper tentatively asked, "How big do you want to be connected to the land?" ”
"A few acres to twenty acres will do."
The middle-aged shopkeeper immediately went to the ticket counter to rummage, and then came in and said: "There is indeed something that meets the needs of the girl, but it is just ......." ”
Yang Qiaoyue knew that he was unprofitable and would not be dedicated.
"The shopkeeper can rest assured, if the matter is done, the seller and the buyer can pay 100% each, and the tea fee will be given to you, how about it?"
The middle-aged shopkeeper nodded immediately, not to mention that the seller wants to redeem the title deed to make a profit, and it is also a good income to have one percent of this transaction.
The hesitation on his face dissipated, and he showed Yang Qiaoyue two land deeds, one was a three-acre Zhuangzi and the other was a fifteen-acre land behind the Zhuangzi, both in the south of the city.
Yang Qiaoyue took a look, it was very much in line with her current needs, not big or small, maybe the money in her hand could buy it.
Although he was very satisfied, he didn't show it on his face, and returned it to the shopkeeper lightly: "The troublesome shopkeeper called the deed owner, let's go over and have a look." It's also convenient to know the price. ”
The shopkeeper should be down, he boasts of reading countless people, can be described as extremely shrewd, the tone of the person in front of him is flat, not happy or angry, and he can't see it through.
Yang Qiaoyue didn't say much, and went to the south of the city with the shopkeeper, and the guys in the store went to call the deed owner over.
