Chapter 15 Zhao Yingluo Moves to a New Home
Zong Ze chewed while reminiscing about this taste that he had never tasted, closed his eyes and showed a smile of enjoyment, and only after taking a bite did he open his eyes, "Everyone, this kind of deliciousness seems to be not in the world, we have a mouthful." ”
Hearing Zong Ze say this, the rest of the people got off their chopsticks one after another and began to fish for ingredients in the shabu-shabu
Mushrooms, meat, poultry eggs, seafood, vermicelli, ......
One by one, they were sweating profusely and their faces were flushed.
Coupled with the wine in the urn, the laughter rippled throughout the private room.
After crossing, Zhao Yingluo, who rarely indulged herself, her cheeks were slightly red, and after half drunk, she was arrogant, pushed open the window facing the street, stood in front of the window, and recited Su Shi's noun.
"The old man talked about juvenile madness, leading Huang on the left and Qingcang on the right...... Sideburns are slightly creamy, so what's the matter! In the clouds, when will Feng Tang be sent? Will hold the bow like a full moon, look northwest, and shoot the wolf. ”
Since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, it has been repeatedly threatened by the north, and there was the Liao State in the past, and now it is the Jin State.
Kaifeng City, which is shrouded in the shadow of war all the year round, lacks the prosperity of the Renzong period, the fireworks in the world, and the heroic ambition to protect the family and defend the country.
Her heroic chant seemed to ignite the morale that had been deposited in people's hearts for a long time, and provoked a burst of applause from downstairs.
The downstairs applauded, but it caused Zong Ze upstairs to secretly shed tears.
After the Jingkang Change, he was nearly seventy years old and was ordered to preside over the overall situation of Kaifeng, and now the army and the people are united, and there is hope of recovering Hebei, but he has no movement like a mud cow entering the sea.
Crossing the river has slowly become a piece of his heart.
Although Zong Ze was sentimental in his heart, he was embarrassed to spoil Zhao Yingluo's opening at the opening, and after wiping away the tears from the corners of his eyes, he continued to ask his old friend Lu Hao for wine.
And Zhao Yingluo continued to chant her poems, "Life is a hero, death is also a ghost." So far, I think of Xiang Yu and refuse to cross Jiangdong"
"Master Lu, the old man didn't expect that your niece would not only be able to farm, but also that this poem is quite popular, so I have a reluctant request."
"General Zong said."
"The old man heard that this girl came to you because of the disaster of her neck, and her parents died."
"That's true!"
Lu Hao asked as he answered, muttering in his heart, if it was said that it was before, it would be right if his parents died, after all, the emperor and the concubines were all taken captive by the Jin people, but now it is not counted.
"In this case, the old man intends to take her as a righteous daughter, I wonder if Lord Lu is willing to cut his love?"
Lu Hao was stunned, he didn't expect this Zong Ze to have this intention, and accept Her Royal Highness the princess as a righteous daughter, are you not afraid of being killed? Even if I agreed, Emperor Daojun wouldn't agree!
"I'm afraid it's inconvenient......"
"What's inconvenient?" After Zhao Yingluo was happy, she returned to her seat.
After she went to college, she returned more than half of her knowledge to her high school Chinese teacher, and she chanted a few poems that could still complete the Northern Song Dynasty.
Lu Haowen said with some embarrassment, "General Zong wants to accept you as a righteous daughter......
Zhao Yingluo readily agreed, "Good thing! It's rare that the new store opens today, and the old general doesn't dislike me. ”
Seeing that she agreed so happily, Zong Ze immediately laughed heartily, "Lord Lu, it seems that this is my righteous daughter from God, I can't refuse." ”
Lu Hao asked and saw that Zhao Yingluo actually agreed, so he couldn't say anything, so he had to hide his embarrassment by drinking.
Knowing that her identity is the princess of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Yingluo still readily agreed to be Zong Ze's righteous daughter, she naturally has her own abacus.
She is in Bao Zongze, planning for the future events.
Putting aside those red tape, Zhao Yingluo just made a simple worship ceremony, even if he recognized this cheap daddy he picked up, if he really knelt down, I am afraid it will not bring good things to Zong Ze, but bad things.
The private rooms upstairs had a good time, and the diners downstairs who tried this hot pot for the first time were even happier. The sign of Drunken Hibiscus was an instant hit on the first day.
Throughout September, after removing the cost of materials and the commissions of the store staff, Zhao Yingluo also became a wealthy man with a lot of money.
With this money, she began to think about buying a mansion by herself, and there were many things wrong with relying on the Lu Mansion after all.
Now that the winter wheat has been sown, it is only harvested after the winter, and the rest of the field management has Jiang Laosi and Feng Jing, so she doesn't have to worry about it.
So throughout October, she took spring peaches and pothos around Kaifeng City, and after almost walking around the entire Kaifeng City, she finally found the ideal house.
This house is located in the east of Yujie, the gate is the Bianhe River, and to the north is the "Drunken Hibiscus" and the East Market.
This house is slightly smaller than the Lu Mansion, of course, it is not as good as the palace, but there are also three entrances inside and outside, there are matching rooms on both sides, and there is a small garden at the back.
This house was originally owned by a grain merchant, and after the war disaster, the house was entrusted to local relatives to take care of.
In order to save some money, Zhao Yingluo took out almost all the bargaining skills of later generations, and insisted on killing the price from 10,000 to 6,000.
Pay the money with one hand, and pay the house with the other! The deal was closed in just one day.
With her own house, she couldn't wait to move out of the Lu Mansion the next day.
Lu Haowen was afraid that she would not have manpower by her side, so he directly gave her the maid Chun Tao and the pothos together.
The house is very large, and she alone can't take care of it, not to mention that there are also sweepers, laundry, janitors, travelers, and cooks.
So she spent a thousand yuan to buy more than 30 maids and servants, and the deed of sale in her hand suddenly increased.
Holding the deed of sale, she finally realized the feeling of holding the power of life and death of others, and after the sale, their human rights have been completely lost, and they are at the disposal of the master's family.
Although there is no harm if there is no sale, but if she doesn't buy it, someone else will buy it, and it is better to buy it yourself than to let these desperate people who voluntarily sell themselves join other homes.
At least, they won't be treated badly here, of course, if they have to fight.
After some tossing, it wasn't until half a month later that her new mansion finally had the smell of fireworks, and the servants were in place, performing their duties, and the operation of the mansion began to get on track.
Chun Tao and Lu Pothos were upgraded from ordinary maids in Lu Mansion to steward maids, which are the highest level among the maids, and the thoughtful Lu Pothos is responsible for managing internal affairs such as diet and washing. Chun Tao, who has a more lively and active personality, is responsible for her outing, as well as the servants' courtyard sweeping and security.
As for the income and expenditure in this house, it is naturally Zhao Yingluo's sole responsibility.
Seeing that October was about to pass, she began to calculate her income for the month.
Last month, in addition to the store's net income of 5,000 taels, the corn obtained from 100 acres of farmland was sold for 200 stones, and it was sold for 500 taels, and before the end of the month, the income has exceeded 5,000 taels, and it should reach 6,000 taels for the whole month.
But Zhao Yingluo didn't want to put the money in his arms, in recent years, the Jin people have frequently gone south, and most of the people around Kaifeng want to sell their fields to avoid disasters, if they make a move at this time, they will definitely buy a large number of fields at the lowest price.
