Fang Hu, who Xie Xiuwen had sent to the capital before, had successfully rented a mansion, and there were more than 20 rooms in the front and back yards, and their masters and servants were also enough.

"Don't dare to worry about adults, the servants at home have already been arranged."

Zhao Yue nodded, originally just asking.

If he hadn't found it, he would have an empty courtyard there.

However, he felt that Xie Xiuwen was a little arrogant, and he probably wouldn't be willing to take advantage of him in vain, and now that he heard that he had a place to stay, he naturally wouldn't mention it again.

When he was about to reach the city gate, Douzi, who was sitting in front of the carriage, saw Fang Hu.

"Uncle Fang, here!"

Xie Zhou saw Fang Hu for the first time, he only knew that Uncle Tang had come to the capital to settle first, but he really didn't know who he was and where he was placed.

When he arrived in the capital, he naturally had to share things with Zhao Yue.

Zhao Yue is a nobleman and lives in the inner city, and ordinary people need to pass another threshold if they want to enter the inner city.

"Good baby, Uncle is going home, I'll let Changfeng send you back, and I'll send Changfeng to send you a post in two days, okay?"

Xie Rongzhao blinked: "Okay, is it a post that you can eat good things?" ”

Zhao Yue laughed: "Yes, you can let the little good baby eat a lot of delicious things." ”

The two sides parted ways, each to his own family.

Fang Hu rented in Sanxing Hutong.

It is said that the original origin of this name is because there are three apricot trees planted in front of the mouth of this alley, and the fruits are sweet and juicy.

But that was many years ago, and now there is not a single tree at the mouth of Sanxing Hutong.

"The villain knew that the master would have to go out to discuss his homework with the gentlemen in the future, so he bought a chariot on his own initiative, but the money was not abundant and he could not afford to buy horses, so he bought a mule cart."

Xie Xiuwen nodded slightly, things were done well.

"Rice, grain, firewood, and firewood have been purchased at home, and the bedding is only the simplest to prepare, and I learned that Mrs. is traveling this time, so I have to ask Mrs. to show me some things."

Xie Xiuwen looked around in the front hall and was very satisfied.

"You don't have any money in your hands now, do you?"

Fang Hu smiled embarrassedly, it's really gone, if the master doesn't come again, it is estimated that he will be hungry in less than half a month.

"You wait here first, I'll ask Madame what else needs to be added there, and let your lady go with you later."

"Yes, sir."

Fang Hu's wife, Gu Shi, had already accompanied his wife to the inner house, and Fang Hu's two sons also put down their luggage one after the other, and came to the front yard to listen to the order.

"Good baby, Daddy will take you to see the room first, if there is anything missing, you can tell Daddy directly."

As for Xie Ronglang, he followed closely with a very eye-catching look, and if he wanted Daddy to hug him or something, he didn't have to think about it.

The backyard is actually not big, there are three main houses, things are with ear rooms, two east wings, and two west wings.

According to the rules, the son lives in the east chamber, and the lady lives in the west chamber.

Xie Ronglang is still young, and there is no problem in living in the inner house for another two years.

"Fang Ping, the eldest son of the Fang Hu family, is two years older than you, let him follow you in the future, be a scholar, and hand over any errands that need to run errands to him, only one thing, don't breed some bad habits, you are a scholar, and you also came from a poor life, and you can't easily beat and scold servants in the future. Of course, if they make a big mistake, that's a different story. ”

Xie Ronglang saluted in a proper manner: "Yes, father." ”

Xie Rongzhao was still in Daddy's arms, and when he heard this, he turned his head and asked, "Daddy, do I also want a little girl to accompany me?" ”

Xie Xiuwen chuckled when he heard this: "Our good baby is still young, we don't need Yahuan now, I will ask Sister-in-law Wang to come over and take care of you, well, you can call her Mother Wang in the future." ”

Xie Rongzhao pouted, thinking that Daddy was worried that she was young and wouldn't be able to do many things.

"Okay, when that brother is not studying, can I play with him and Fang Ping?"

"Yes."

After everything was settled, Xie Xiuwen called everyone over and made an arrangement for the time being.

"We are just renting here now, Fang Hu is familiar with the capital, and he will be the housekeeper of our family in the future, and the Gu family will be by his wife's side in the future, and he will also talk to his wife more about some customs and human accidents in the capital, so as not to make a mistake and cause trouble when he goes out one day."

"Yes, sir."

Fang Hu and the Gu clan both responded immediately, if they could have such a kind-hearted master, they naturally had to do a good job, and they couldn't let the master feel that they were losing money by buying them.

Fang Ping is two years old when Rong Lang is two years old, and he will be a scholar by Rong Lang's side in the future, so that he can recognize words and memorize books together. However, Fang Ping is young, and his monthly money is not much. ”

Fang Hu was grateful in his heart, he had the opportunity to let his son read and write, this was already a great kindness, where did he dare to ask for any monthly money?

"The old man is generous and benevolent, and the little ones don't dare to be greedy, Brother Ping is his blessing to be able to study with the little son, and it is already good to have food and shelter."

Gu Shi also hurriedly expressed his position, because he was excited, and his voice was a little trilling: "Yes, I don't dare to ask for the master's monthly money again, we must let Brother Ping do a good job." ”

Xie Xiuwen smiled, raised his hand and said: "Okay, this matter is decided like this, you can't let the child just do things and not take money, although my Xie Mou is not rich, but I am not a stingy person." ”

Xie Xiuwen arranged for Douzi and Xie Zhou to live in the outer courtyard, so that the outer courtyard was basically full.

"Master, the first one on the east side of the front yard is close to your study, why don't you let Douzi live there, and it will be convenient to serve you in the future."

Xie Xiuwen nodded, very satisfied with Fang Hu's arrangement: "Yes." ”

Xie Zhou only felt like a dream.

Why did Uncle Cousin even call his servants when he arrived in the capital?

"Fang Hu, you go back and inquire outside, see where there is land for sale, it is naturally best to be closer to the capital, about two hundred acres."

Xie Xiuwen considered buying a field, mainly because a large family of people had been buying it outside all the time because it was not good to chew, not to mention the high price, mainly because it was very passive, after all, the price of grain was not fixed.

If you have your own land, then at least food and clothing are not a problem.

Xie Xiuwen has already made arrangements for the eighty acres of land in Gaoyang County, except for the rations left by the Zhuang Shangren, the rest will be sold, in fact, there is not much, and it is estimated that the remaining income will only be twenty or thirty taels of silver throughout the year.

The main reason is that there are too few fields and too many people in Zhuangzi.

Of course, no matter how much income the grange can have, Xie Xiuwen has no intention of selling it, and this is the first time he has purchased a field in more than 20 years, and he will leave it to his children and grandchildren in the future.

Fang Hu said loudly: "Master, the land price in this capital is much higher than that of our Gaoyang County. The little one asked a few words before, and I am afraid that the good land will cost eleven or two taels of silver per mu. ”

Xie Xiuwen raised his eyebrows, this price is really high!

It is nearly twice as expensive as Gaoyang County!
