Chapter 118
Wen Youshan explained one by one with a good temper and took the initiative to introduce the scenery along the way to the children.
Chen Ningya listened silently from the side, her lips unconsciously rising.
With two curious girls, the journey seemed not so difficult. While having a leisurely and leisurely conversation, the donkey cart arrived in Qing'an County.
The two children were excited again when they saw the high city walls. They didn't bother to talk to Wen Youshan. Their heads were spinning, especially when they saw such a lively long street, they didn't dare to say anything, and their little faces turned red.
Wen Youshan first took them to the inn opposite He's cloth shop, sold the mountain goods sent by the Sun family, and then took them to the school in the south of the city.
It was just afternoon, and the children were resting at the school.
Wen Youshan quietly went in and called out his three sons.
Chen Ningya and the others were waiting outside. During the waiting time, Wen Yuanjing stared at everything in the school enviously. It would be great if she was a man, and she could go in and study with her brother and younger brother.
Wen Yuanzhen looked at the surrounding environment in awe, and didn't dare to speak loudly in such a place.
Only Chen Ningya looked as usual, and when she saw the father and son, she had a bright smile on her face.
Wen Yuanxing rushed out like a shell, pierced into Chen Ningya's arms, muttering and coquettishly, "Mom, you haven't even come to see me, I miss you!"
Chen Ningya hugged her younger son, her eyes fell on her two older sons, and asked with a smile: "Do you want to tell her husband before leaving?"
Wen Yuanliang withdrew his envious gaze and nodded properly and said, "Sir, I'm resting now, I'll go and talk to the manager."
After Wen Yuanliang said hello, the family continued to set off. From the school to Wen Shichu, they all walked through the alleys. The alleys were quiet. Occasionally, they were dressed in decent clothes when they met pedestrians. You could tell at a glance that their family was well-off.
Chen Ningya whispered with satisfaction: "The environment here is really good."
There are no messy and sluts who are hustle and bustle, and it is safer to go out even if you go out.
Wen Youshan knew her deep meaning and said proudly: "Brother Feng said that many well-known small officials in the county government also live in this area, especially those constables who are with their families. How dare they come here? If they meet any constable while walking, wouldn't they be a rat that meets a cat and has no place to hide."
There are alleys around, and there is indeed no place to hide.
Everyone was amused by the scene described by Wen Youshan, and stopped outside Wen Shichu while talking and laughing.
When the two little girls saw this deep courtyard, their eyes suddenly widened. If it weren't for the father and brother urging them to urge them to get off the donkey cart, it would be even more amazing when they entered the courtyard. The two girls were already dazzled.
From the time I entered the yard to the third, Wen Yuanjing felt that her short legs were almost weak.
The family was resting in the courtyard where the third entry was in the yard. Wen Yuanzhen stumbled: "Dad, your house has spent a lot of money!"
She is now nine years old and is no longer the little girl who knows nothing.
Wen Youshan didn't hide it from the children and said slowly: "It took thirty taels to buy land, and one hundred and fifty taels to build a yard, and a total of one hundred and eighty taels."
"Hiss!" Wen Yuanzhen took a breath of air conditioning, "So expensive!"
With so much money, you can build several large houses in the countryside, and you can buy a lot of land without building a large house.
Seeing Wen Yuanzhen's reaction, Wen Yuanliang whispered: "Big sister, the price is actually good. If you buy a ready-made house in the south of the city, you can't get a 200 tael. My father spent 180 taels, which is considered cheap. Moreover, the material workers were all found by Uncle Feng, so you can trust it. It would be no problem to live in such a house for a hundred years."
Wen Yuanzhen stopped talking after hearing this, looked at the yard again, and said to Chen Ningya: "Mom, there is nothing here, we have a lot of things to buy."
Chen Ningya hesitated and looked at Wen Yuanliang, "Your father said he wanted to buy someone. I mean to buy a servant for the three of you brothers. There will be some people running errands in school in the future. We won't buy more. There are only cooks, one doorman responsible for picking up and dropping off, one servant, and one manager, how about it?"
Chen Ningya has considered the most streamlined number of people, but Wen Yuanliang is still a little hesitant, "Mom, we don't need a servant."
One more person means one more mouth to support, and you can save as much as you can.
Wen Youshan shook his head, "Just listen to your mother, we can rest assured if there is a servant, even if there is anything, you can run errands or something."
Wen Yuanliang did not expect that his father, who was most likely to agree, was the first to object and was speechless in an instant.
Chen Ningya then smiled and said, "Actually, I want to buy another woman and maid to take it back to the village, but I am afraid that it will cause unnecessary trouble at that time, so I'll just forget it. Anyway, my family is busy for the time being. If it doesn't work in the future, I will consider buying someone."
Wen Yuanzhen immediately felt relieved when she held her breath, raised her smile and said, "Dad, let's buy the person quickly, buy the house and go back."
It seemed like he was afraid that he would buy one more person one step later.
Chen Ningya laughed silently and went out according to her daughter's wishes.
Wen Yuanliang and the others had to rush back to school to study. Wen Youshan sent the three boys to the entrance of the school before taking his wife and daughter to the place where he was a kid.
When they arrived at the place, the two little girls were unconsciously next to Chen Ningya. Especially when they saw the little girls who were beaten and scolded, Wen Yuanzhen's face was pale. Wen Yuanjing was also trembling and almost cried.
Chen Ningya comforted and patted their hands, and entered the main hall under the reception of Renjiezi. She told Renjiezi what she meant. Soon, several ragged and pale faces were taken into the house. The men were big and the women were mostly thirty or forty.
No matter how much the people under his command were praised, Chen Ningya was still unmoved. She looked at the people in front of her carefully and asked many questions. Finally, she chose a family of four, a couple, their children, and a twenty-year-old young man.
The price of three adults is more expensive, while the price of two children in their teens is cheaper. It cost 45 taels in total, which is another big investment.
Renjiezi also wanted to recommend two 15 or 16-year-old girls to Wen Youshan, but Wen Yuanzhen glared hard and didn't dare to say anything.
After leaving this alley, Wen Yuanzhen was still a little unhappy and cursed loudly: "What's the matter? If I weren't too young, I really wanted to grab a few shameless things on the face of that slutty woman!"
This was the first time Wen Youshan saw the arrogant side of his eldest daughter, and he was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
