In the afternoon, Zhang Zhou went home first, and brought the family out mysteriously, he personally drove the car and parked the car in front of a very large mansion in Jian'anfang.

"Husband, where is this?"

After Jiang Pingyu got out of the carriage, he looked around, the road was much wider than the narrow alley, and it was not far from the place where he lived before.

Zhang Zhou smiled: "I just found a tooth and signed the lease, and we should all live here in the next few months." ”

"Huh?"

Only then did Jiang Pingyu know that her husband was going to improve the family's life.

A family of five happily entered the courtyard.

This is a three-entry house, and the specifications are not as good as the wealthy compound, but all of a sudden I feel that I have returned to the old life of Kushao, and even Zhang Jun can't help but ask: "Dad, we are rich again, right?" ”

Zhang Zhoudao: "It's not important to have money, the important thing is to have the right, live here for a few months, and go to the capital to take the exam before the end of the year, maybe next year I will be a jinshi and become an official!" ”

Jiang Pingyu and Han Qing were both pursing their lips and laughing.

My husband is floating, and he just took the exam, so he thought about the middle jinshi.

Is it that easy?

"Dad, it doesn't matter if you are an official or not, hurry up and invite me to Mr. and let me be enlightened." Zhang Jun has an inexplicable desire to read.

Zhang Zhou flicked the kid's head: "If you find a gentleman, you can study hard, if you dare to be lazy, see how I pump you!" ”

Zhang Jun ran to the backyard in a huff.

Probably Zhang Jun has also begun to find the rhythm of being a young master.

"Husband, the business hasn't been completed yet, why do you want to change this house? Such a big place, it's too expensive. This monthly ...... How much does it cost? Jiang Pingyu began to feel sorry for the silver.

It is said that it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality, but looking at Jiang Pingyu's appearance, it seems that he has become accustomed to the life of a peasant wife and has learned to be careful in his calculations.

may have inherited the fine tradition of her father, Old Man Jiang, and he is also a good hand at settling accounts.

In this way, Zhang Zhou can also rest assured that he will leave the affairs of the backyard to her.

"It's not much, eight dollars of silver a month, this is already cheap, I also asked Xiao Guizi to buy some tables, chairs and benches, I guess it will be delivered in a while!" Zhang Zhou took Jiang Pingyu over and said with a smile, "In the past, you were the daughter of a big family and lived a hard life with me, but now no matter what, I have to let you improve your life first." A few years ago, our family went to the capital together to see and see, how about it? ”

Jiang Pingyu said: "If the husband goes to take the Beijing test, do you want to let the concubine go?" ”

"Go! The family must be neat and tidy, but in the past few months, Nanjing's business cannot be stopped, and the previous rice and grain business may earn two or three hundred taels of silver, which is not enough. Even if you are admitted to the Jinshi, you still have to live, do you live on the little money given by the imperial court? Or do you want me to be a corrupt official? You have to earn the money yourself, and if you can't come forward by yourself, you have to find someone else to come forward......"

Zhang Zhou is looking forward to the future.

Jiang Pingyu looked at it with a puzzled look.

Some others want to get rich, and some want to be officials, but they have never seen their husbands like this, who want to enter the imperial examination while still wanting to make a fortune in business.

Isn't it a contradiction?

……

……

Moving into the new house, the family is busy cleaning up.

This place is not far from the small courtyard where she lived before, and Jiang Pingyu also took Han Qing back to clean up and bring all the belongings she could bring.

Zhang Zhou went out to buy some pen, ink, paper and inkstone in the afternoon, and inquired about the surrounding printing shops, and when he came back, he found that Han Qing was fetching water in the yard, and his little daughter Suisui blinked her big eyes, and was eating maltose on the side, and Xiao Nizi, who had changed into a new dress, also began to learn to enjoy life.

"Don't make too much effort, just wait for me to come back and hire a maid to come back." Zhang Zhou walked up and took the bucket in Han Qing's hand.

Han Qing said with a happy face: "It's so good here, there is a well in the yard, and finally you don't have to go out to fetch water, you can use it whenever you want." ”

Zhang Zhouxin said that this Mrs. Ru is really easy to satisfy, there is a well in the yard, and she is so happy.

Zhang Zhou looked at the well and pondered for a while, the well in the yard is still a bit dangerous, it seems that he can consider making a simple water press, so that he can get water in the yard at any time in the future, and it is not too laborious.

"Husband, come here."

At the gate of the inner courtyard, Jiang Pingyu greeted Zhang Zhou with a smile.

Zhang Zhou walked to the inner courtyard, while Han Qing was responsible for washing clothes, probably because it was inconvenient to wash clothes before, and this time he finally moved to a new house, so he had to come over to wash and scrub first.

"Madam, is there something wrong?"

"Just prepared a room for my husband, my husband came to see ......"

Jiang Pingyu took Zhang Zhou into the largest room in the house, so it became Zhang Zhou's bedroom, and there was a desk outside, but the bedding looked a little old, but because it was Jiang Pingyu's dowry, the material was very good.

"My husband will sleep here from now on." Jiang Pingyu said, "My sister and I also have a room. ”

Sanjin Courtyard, although it is not the pattern of the northern courtyard, the courtyard is still a little crowded, but there are four bedrooms at home, as well as firewood kitchens, if you clean up again, you can also prepare a room for the hired servants.

That's pretty good.

Zhang Zhou walked over and looked at it, shook his head and said, "It's just that the bed is a little smaller." ”

"Really? It's not small. ”

Jiang Pingyu also checked it carefully, and after she understood what Zhang Zhou meant, red clouds rose on her cheeks, and she was even more shy and beautiful, which made a "righteous gentleman" like Zhang Zhou feel very happy, and she couldn't wait to have a local Fa rectification right away.

Jiang Pingyu said: "Tonight, the concubine will let my sister come over." ”

Zhang Zhou smiled: "Don't, let's be together." ”

"Husband, don't mess around." Jiang Pingyu is even more shy now.

Zhang Zhoudao: "I didn't mess around, let the two little ones sleep with me, they are all big children......

After thinking about it carefully, Zhang Jun does seem to be a little adult, but Suisui still seems to be a little smaller, and the youngest daughter in the family is also more favored, so Zhang Zhou added, "You can let Qing'er put Suisui to sleep first." ”

Zhang Zhou thought that Jiang Pingyu would refuse such an impertinent request.

But Jiang Pingyu only thought about it for a moment, so he said "um" and agreed directly.

"Prepare a good meal to celebrate the housewarming." Zhang Zhou suddenly felt that he had found the mentality of settling down, and he was ready to be a Ming native in the future.

Even if he was allowed to go, he wouldn't go.

Jiang Pingyu said: "The husband has just been promoted, everything has to be saved, after all, we don't have more inputs." My husband will take the Beijing exam next year, but I'm afraid that I will have to save more. ”

Zhang Zhoudao: "You don't know this, right?" If I win the promotion, there will be a lot of people who will come to donate their land, and besides, I will find a way to do business. ”

"There are profits and losses in business." Jiang Pingyu is still a little jealous of Zhang Zhou's business.

Just because a business is earned, you can't think that you can be unfavorable in the future, and there are too many examples of losing money in the business field.

Zhang Zhou smiled: "I'm a lifter, what are you afraid of?" Now there is a back road, as the so-called spring breeze is proud, no, it's autumn, then the autumn wind sweeps the leaves, I want to earn it a lot of money. ”
