Chapter 196: Children are not sensible
In the middle of the wax month, the flavor of the year is getting stronger.
In the second half of the night, snowflakes fell in the sky, fluttering and sprinkling, and did not stop until almost noon.
The snow on the ground was about two inches thick, not too thick or thin, and it was in a state where there was just enough snow to see, but it was not difficult to clear the road.
Whether it is on the street or in every household, there are people with brooms or wooden shovels to sweep the snow from the roads and their yards, or carry the snow out, or pile up the roots of flowers and trees in the yard to nourish the flowers and trees with snow water.
On a snowy day, in the vegetable patch in the yard, the spinach became more and more tender, Su Yujin was so excited to see it that he only asked Mother Liu and Wormwood to drag some spinach and prepare to make a few things to eat.
Spinach squeezed out of the juice and noodles, with white noodles to make cabbage dumplings, and then with old vinegar spinach peanuts, spinach egg rolls, cold weather, fragrant to eat a bowl......
Lunch was very comfortable, and Su Yujin burped himself with satisfaction.
As soon as he put down the dishes and chopsticks, the guy from Yaxing came and said that he had found the suitable orchard and the house in Jiangsu and Zhejiang that Su Yujin wanted, and asked Su Yujin to take a look.
Su Yujin was overjoyed.
Kang had just sent a few thousand taels of silver, and the time was really just right for the things to be found here.
And when he arrived at Yaxing, after listening to the introduction of Shopkeeper Sun, Su Yujin was even more satisfied.
Although the orchard is not very far, it is not on the boundary of Qinghe County, it is on the outskirts of Beijing, bordering Qinghe County, and it takes about half a day to travel by horse-drawn carriage.
The area of the orchard is not small, there are more than 200 acres of land together, apples, pears, plums, peaches, persimmons...... Basically, the fruit trees in the north are complete, there is a small river running through the orchard, and it is located in a half-sloped land, not far from the continuous low mountains, which is very in line with the environment of mountains and rivers that Su Yujin wants.
What's more, at the edge of this orchard, in addition to the houses that provide accommodation for long-term workers, an extremely spacious courtyard has also been built, although it is not strictly repaired in accordance with the courtyard of several entrances, but there is a garden in the back, a courtyard in the front, and there are more than ten houses in total, and because of proper maintenance and repair, it looks very new.
"This orchard is really good, the asking price is not expensive, it costs three thousand taels of silver, I have to go to the empty trip, the fruit trees are all old trees, they bear fruit every year, the quality is not bad, this fruit is good for winemaking, it is okay to sell it every day, and the income is okay."
Shopkeeper Sun introduced, "The master is not in a hurry to sell, but he is preparing for the young masters and ladies in the family to use silver for marriage, so they want to find a buyer with a good heart."
"Yes, the lord also said that the family was busy a year ago, and there was no time to take care of this matter, if you really want to buy it, you will go to see the condition of the orchard after the fifteenth year after the new year, and then it is not too late to finalize this transaction."
"As for the house in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Miss Su said that it is really impossible to find it in the small county town, and there is a good house in Yangzhou, the location is not bad, the house is still brand new, and the asking price is about five or six hundred taels of silver."
"This house was originally used by the lord to prepare for his son to marry a wife after the roof was flipped, but the son was promoted in the entrance examination, went to other places to be an official, and married the daughter of a famous local family, so he had to move there, and the house also wanted to be exchanged for cash, so that he could go there to buy a property at that time, so as not to lose face in front of his in-laws."
"I didn't go to see this house, others said they had seen it, everything was fine, and a lotus pond was dug in the garden, which was well maintained, and this one was going to be sold in a hurry, thinking about selling it before March after the year."
"The house is a piece of goods from the tooth shop on the side, and I also specially drew a picture, if Miss Su wants, I will send a guy to run after the New Year, take a look, so that Miss Su can feel at ease."
Qinghe and the capital are adjacent to each other, there is also a canal ferry here in Qinghe, take a boat down the canal, come and go, the top of the sky is only a month's time, and it doesn't cost much silver.
Su Yujin took a look at the house layout drawings handed over by Shopkeeper Sun.
Indeed, as the shopkeeper Sun said, the layout of the house is very good, and it is spacious enough, it is a very good yard, and five or six hundred taels of silver is indeed suitable.
"Both of these are good, both help me keep them, and if you see them all in the future, you can buy them all." Su Yujin said as he nodded.
"Okay." Shopkeeper Sun smiled and narrowed his eyes.
After staying in Yahang for a while, Su Yujin walked back with wormwood.
Although the sun has not yet fully emerged, the snow tends to melt after it stops, and although the snow on the road has been cleared for the most part, it is still wet due to the remaining snow.
"Girl, be careful when walking." Wormwood reached out to hold Su Yujin's arm, and she was more and more careful when she walked.
Looking at Wormwood's cautious appearance, Su Yujin suddenly remembered that when he was in Hedong Mansion, Wormwood fell twice in one place, so that he felt a little uneasy in his heart.
Soon, Su Yujin's uneasiness was verified.
But this time it wasn't Wormwood who fell, it was her.
But this time, it wasn't because the ground was slippery and her feet slipped, but because someone tugged at a ponytail tied to the back of her head, causing her to lean back in pain.
Su Yujin even heard a slight "hiss" sound, which seemed to be the sound of hair being pulled off, and also felt a sharp pain in the scalp.
"Wait!" Seeing this, Wormwood angrily stopped a middle-aged man who passed by him next to him, and a six or seven-year-old girl in his arms.
The little girl was looking at Su Yujin straight at this time, and there were still a few strands of hair left in her half-stretched hands.
Obviously, it was this little girl with a round face, a cute appearance, and a pink carving that pulled Su Yujin's hair.
"Good and decent, why are you pulling my girl's hair?" Wormwood asked.
The man was also shocked, first angrily reached out to pat the little girl's palm, and after reprimanding, he apologized to Su Yujin with a smile, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the child is not sensible, it's hurting the girl, it's really sorry, I will discipline her well when I go back......
"This kid looks like he's six or seven years old, and he's still so naughty, he has to be disciplined and disciplined." Wormwood was angry and annoyed, more because she looked at Su Yujin frowning in pain, "Girl, are you okay?"
"It's okay, it's just a little painful." Su Yujin rubbed his scalp and looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and the little girl in his arms with a frown.
The man is an ordinary short brown, and the fabric is just an ordinary muslin, and the little girl, dressed in a brocade dress, looks very valuable, although there is no overly expensive jewelry in her hair, but there is a tuft of velvet flowers on each of the two buns, and the production is also very exquisite.
It's just that the clothes on his body are worn crookedly, the placket is a little loose, the belt is also a little crooked and slipped, the bun is crooked, and the hair is a little messy......
