Chapter 191: Jiajia Painting Cake [2-in-1]

It's not that she wants to compare herself with Guozijian, it's just that since she has decided to do this well, she naturally thinks better.

In case it really starts in the future, there is not enough space, and the surrounding area is crowded with houses, and she can't say that it will be expanded.

So it's better to start with a bigger place.

Save future troubles.

Seeing her shaking her head, Huang Gao could only take her to find another place.

The few places he had prepared were all around here, but apparently he only realized this meaning, and thought of nothing else.

He imagined that the women's academy should be small and exquisite, with noble ladies playing the piano, reading poetry, and incense and having fun.

Therefore, after looking at several places in a row, she was not satisfied, and she couldn't help but say, "Isn't there a bigger place?" ”

Zhao Yi also looked at him lightly.

Huang Gao's sweat came down suddenly, and he racked his brains and thought about it: "This ...... There is indeed another place around here, and that place is big, but it is the former Zheng Shoufu Courtyard that has been abandoned for a long time, and it is said to be unclean......"

"Not clean?" Li Baojia blinked: "Why is there such a statement?" ”

Zhao Yi also knew about this place, he thought for a while and said: "Because there have been three powerful ministers living there, all of whom were in power at the beginning, but the end was not good, so some people say that this house is unlucky and cursed." ”

"Niangniang, this house is now in the hands of the Deng family, the first imperial merchant, although they don't live in it, the price is not low, this house is unlucky and expensive, no one will buy it." Huang Gao added on the side.

Li Baojia thought for a while and said, "Let's go and have a look, maybe it's appropriate?" ”

Huang Gao could only nod yes, this house has been listed for sale for I don't know how long, no one has seen it at all, and the gambling houses in the capital are betting on when this house will be sold.

Isn't this a ready-made one?

The place is a little farther away from here, but I can't find a suitable one nearby, and there is no way, so it is just a matter of taking a carriage for ten minutes.

After getting into the carriage, Zhao Yi asked: "The official seal has been approved, and you can get it tomorrow, but Jia Jia has thought about it, how will the academy recruit the first batch of students?" Where does Mr. Teacher come from? ”

The official seal is simple, and it is not easy to recruit students.

After all, the nobles would not come to such a academy to attend classes, and the less wealthy families did not have this spare money, so they sent the girls' family to the academy.

After all, according to the comparison of Guozijian or some famous academies next to it, the restraint is not low, and a dozen taels are required.

In addition to Guozijian, there are two well-known academies in the capital that are in the suburbs, although the place is far away, but the rent is cheap, and the students are basically staying.

Since Li Baojia thought of repairing the academy, she naturally also considered this problem, and she leaned to Zhao Yi and said coquettishly: "Your Highness, I have already thought about this issue, but it depends on whether you agree or not." ”

Zhao Yi put one hand around her weakly, raised his eyebrows and said, "So what do you want?" ”

She didn't answer immediately, but dug around the carriage, took out a small box, stretched out a hand to cover Zhao Yi's eyes and said, "You close your eyes first." ”

Because she wanted to cover her eyes, she was very close to him at the moment, and her breath swept softly to his face, with a burst of milky fragrance.

His breathing was a little heavier, but his face was not visible, and he closed his eyes cooperatively.

After listening to a squirming in front of him, something a little cold put on his wrist.

Li Baojia smiled and said, "Okay, you can open your eyes." ”

When Zhao Yi opened his eyes, he saw that he was wearing a string of bracelets on his wrist, which was the crystal she picked up by the river last time, one by one was ground into a round shape, the middle one was like a star, and there were a few small blue gems in the middle, which looked ingenious.

He was a little stunned for a while: "These are the ones you picked up last time?" ”

Li Baojia nodded, approached him and said mysteriously: "You turn the little star over and take a look." ”

Zhao Yi turned it over, only to find that there was a word engraved on the back, which was her name.

She stretched out her little hand, and there was also a bracelet of the same style on her wrist, which was as white as snow, and the one in the middle was the moon, and she turned the moon over, and his name was indeed engraved on the inside.

She chirped: "When I picked it up, I thought I would make a bracelet for you, do you think it looks good like this?" Yours is the stars and I'm the moon, just enough to make a pair........."

Before she could finish her sentence, the man in front of her leaned over and kissed her, his lips pressed against hers, his big hand on the back of her neck, and the other hand around her waist to keep her from moving.

He hugged her tightly, as if he was going to rub her into his body, without giving her any breathing space, and unreasonably plundering every inch of her air.

Li Baojia pushed him softly with one hand, but he still couldn't resist his attack, and gradually softened into a puddle of water in his arms.

The corners of her eyes and eyebrows were full of moisture, her eyes were a little foggy, and she had to try her best not to make any strange sounds, so she couldn't be too sad.

It was a long time before the carriage had stopped, and she came to her senses, and pushed him away with some strength.

Her ears were red, and she lowered her head and said, "Don't make trouble, there's something serious." ”

Zhao Yi looked at her, her eyes brightened: "Jiajia, I'm just too happy." ”

He looked at the crystals she had picked up, but he didn't expect her to think about giving them to him.

He was delighted.

Li Baojia pursed his lips and did not speak.

She just gave him a worthless crystal bracelet, and he was so happy. But on weekdays, he gave her the rare jewels that he didn't know how many, and he couldn't put them in the room, and he had to store her things in a small warehouse.

She said seriously: "If you like it, it's fine." ”

She remembered the purpose of today's day again, and hurriedly said, "What I told you just now ......"

Zhao Yi was in a good mood and said, "Yes, I promise you." ”

She hadn't said what it was.

She found him really easy to satisfy, and too easy to coax......

She pulled him out of the carriage: "Let's go and see the house first." ”

I'll talk to him about the gentleman when I get back.

After going down, she was startled by the dilapidated house in front of her.

It seems that it has been neglected for a long time, the beams are covered with cobwebs, and the two stone lions in front of the gate are also dusty, and this Zhumen is tall and big, looking magnificent, you can imagine how brilliant it is when the previous masters are still there.

There must be a lot of traffic at the door, and there is an endless stream of people sending gifts.

Huang Gao went up and knocked on the door first, and the door opened quickly, and the person who opened the door was a man about fifty years old wearing family clothes, and he was also shocked to see such a large number of people outside the door, and it was estimated that he had not seen such a situation for a long time.

He hurriedly bowed and said, "The slave is the steward here, surnamed Zheng, ladies and gentlemen, I don't know who is here?" ”

Huang Gao looked him up and down, and said with some thought: "Our lord and wife came to take a look at the house." ”

Although this house is in the hands of the Deng family, this steward seems to be the same as before, and his surname is Zheng, which is estimated to have something to do with the former Shoufu.

Therefore, he still asked one more question: "Are you surnamed Zheng?" ”

Steward Zheng hadn't seen anyone who was coming to see the house for a long time, but he was surprised and surprised, he still hoped that the house could be sold.

He said cautiously: "Yes, the villain used to be the steward of Lord Zheng's family, and because he did a good job, he was appreciated by the adults, so he gave him the surname Zheng." ”

Huang Gao didn't ask any more.

The matter of giving a surname is complicated, and it cannot be given simply by doing well.

However, he has just quietly probed, this steward should have no kung fu in his body, he is indeed just an ordinary person, and there is no threat.

So he said, "You should be most familiar with this place, so take Madame to see it." ”

Steward Zheng naturally responded, he took a few steps and saluted Li Baojia: "I don't know what Madame wants to buy the mansion for?" ”

He listened to the one who said just now to take his wife to take a look, and saw that although Zhao Yi was standing here, he didn't care about the appearance of the house, just looked at this lady, and naturally guessed that this lady wanted to buy the house.

This is even rarer.

After all, most of the nobles in the capital actually look decent, and it is still a little difficult for them to build such a big yard with the money in their hands.

Li Baojia said: "I want to use it as a academy, how big is this house?" ”

Steward Zheng was stunned, Academy?

He thought about it and said: "Mrs. Hui, the house is eight in and eight out, divided into the west chamber, the east chamber, the front yard, the back yard, and also brought a martial arts training ground, a large study, a water pavilion pond, and a small stream in the middle to pass through, the scenery is excellent." ”

"As for the college...... Except for Guozijian, there should be no academy bigger than here. ”

He didn't go to find out why this immature lady wanted to set up a academy, but just introduced her according to his own ideas.

Li Baojia followed his footsteps, looked in the front hall, and turned to the martial arts training ground, which was a big and scary place, with some abandoned targets in front of it, and the ring.

She took Zhao Yi's hand and said excitedly: "You can do a juju field here." ”

Zhao Yi also nodded and said, "It looks really good." ”

When he arrived at the water pavilion, Li Baojia, who had seen these scenes, immediately clapped his hand and said, "It's decided that it's here." ”

She thought it was a great place, and it would be better to renovate it than the previous ones.

The west chamber can also be used as a student accommodation, and the east chamber can be used for studying, the place is big, the scenery is good, and it is not far from the east palace.

She couldn't be more satisfied.

Seeing this, Huang Gao could only negotiate the price with Steward Zheng, and Steward Zheng said: "The price matter, the villain can't be the master, and the original set was 50,000 taels of silver." ”

This price is not cheap even if it is placed in the capital, no wonder it can't be sold for so long before.

Li Baojia calculated his small treasury and found that he was indeed a little nervous.

After all, this academy is not something that can be used after buying, it has to be repaired, and there are many things to be added to it, not to mention tables, chairs, books, and books, and the room layout must be greatly changed.

Although she hasn't started yet, she has the temperament to use the best things if she wants to use them, and it costs a lot of money to come here.

Moreover, there must be various expenses for the follow-up academy, and maintenance is a lot of money.

She thought about it with her eyebrows locked, and suddenly thought of something else, and asked Lu Yi, who was following behind, "Do I have some shops?" ”

Lu Yi replied: "There are some shops, all of which are in the capital, three fat powder shops, and a few treasure shops, plus the ones in the back, about a dozen." ”

Some of these were her own dowries, and some were added to her by Zhao Yi later.

Li Baojia immediately felt hopeful.

She wants to run these shops by herself, she likes to study rouge gouache, balm, and also likes to design her own clothes and jewelry, in the past, her own design of the head and face was always popular among the nobles in the capital.

Not long after she wore it, some treasure pavilions in the capital rushed to imitate it.

Then why didn't she run the shop by herself, and the money she earned was just enough to support the academy, so that she wouldn't have to worry about the academy running out of money.

She excitedly told Zhao Yi her thoughts, Zhao Yi touched her head and encouraged: "This method is good, Jia Jia Ke needs me to send some people to help?" ”

Huang Gao next to him wanted to faint when he heard it.

It's okay now, and a few more shops are going to be finished by Niang Niang Huo.

A boudoir girl, where does she know how to run a shop?

I'm afraid this academy is also a bottomless pit, and the shop will lose money again, thanks to His Royal Highness being a rich lord, fortunately, Niangniang married into the East Palace, where is there enough for her to play.

Li Baojia shook his head and said arrogantly: "No, when I open the shop all over the Zhao, I will buy whatever you want and give it to you." ”

Huang Gao and Xia Rin almost couldn't hold back their laughter when they heard it next to them, although the crown princess was small, her tone was not small.

I haven't started yet, I want to open the shop all over the show, I really think that opening a shop is as simple as playing a house?

With a smile in his eyes, Zhao Yi said seriously: "Okay, wait for the day when Jiajia succeeds." ”

He actually didn't care whether her shop made money or lost money, but in the past, she was always trapped in the East Palace, and he gave her all kinds of treasures and didn't see her show her face.

Now I understand a little.

As long as she can be happy, a academy and a few shops are nothing, and she will be given to her without him.

Since it has been decided here, Steward Zheng didn't ink, so he went to get the deed and came over, Zhao Yi asked people to take the silver ticket, Li Baojia looked at him softly: "You are so good, don't worry, I will definitely work hard to earn money and return the money to you." ”

Huang Gaoxin said: Auntie and grandmother don't talk about this, as long as you don't lose all of this, thank God.

Zhao Yi pinched her little face: "What's mine is yours, don't care about this." ”

Li Baojia was even more moved, secretly clenched her little fists, and thought about her shop energetically, she must earn money well, so that she can support the academy and her husband.

Soon the deed was in her hand, she took it and handed it to Luyi, asked her to put it away, and then asked Steward Zheng: "Now that the house has been sold, where are you going to go?" ”

He paused for a moment before he said, "The villain is the steward of this house, since the house has been sold, it is natural to leave here, as for where to go...... I haven't thought about it yet. ”

Li Baojia said: "Then you will stay here and continue to be in charge, how about it?" ”

He was familiar with this place, and the academy also needed a steward to manage the food, clothing, housing, and transportation of the students, and she thought he was very good.

------Off topic------

Pamara: I will be very good to you in the future, and I will spend all the money I earn for you and buy you what you want.

Zhao Yi: Look at this cake, it's big and round.
