Chapter 300 Starting a New House and Building Construction(1/2)
Xiao Guirong,
"These work is divided into regions, and these mothers pay the money to the superiors. The work of each major family is collected by the superiors, transferred to them, and then subcontracted to us. The wealthy family washes a piece of clothes and gives three copper plates. They draw a steel plate, and we need one, and their superiors draw one..."
Shangguan Ting said a little dissatisfied,
"Why do we have to give them a commission? Let's make all three coins by ourselves?"
Xiao Guirong shook her head,
"These people are also in the lower nine li of the capital. Even if they dare to break the business of laundry and sew up, they will have the ability to make us unable to find any living..."
Xiao Guirong has seen someone who was chased and beaten on the streets for private life. There are 360 professions in the capital, and every profession has its own rules. It is not something that can be easily intervened by an outsider!
The strong dragon is not enough to defeat the local snake, let alone Shangguan Ting, a small woman!
She was afraid that Shangguan Ting would be in trouble, so she said to scare her,
"Even if it is a sister, I am not afraid to tell you something. If you look like you, if you go in and out of the back house of a wealthy family and be attracted by those playboys, it will be a life-long incident!"
This city is different from the countryside. The gentry clearly robs people, and the Shangguan family can still sue people. In this city, a woman like Shangguan Ting was captured in the deep courtyard. She was not without her life or death!
Xiao Guirong's words really scared Shangguan Ting, so he didn't dare to think about the other side anymore. He honestly carried a big burden and quit Xiao Guirong and returned to his home outside the city.
Later, when Wu Xinan came to deliver the goods and check the accounts, he heard Xiao Guirong talk about this. Wu Xinan nodded and said,
"Sister Rong did a good job, but the world is always difficult. Can you help each one!"
Xiao Guirong said in his heart,
"I feel that Shangguan Ting is not like a scheming person. I don't know if I'm helping her like this or not!"
After three days, Shangguan Ting sent her washed clothes into the city. After getting the copper plate, she carried the dirty clothes back. She happened to meet Mrs. Xiao and was looking for a living here, so she enthusiastically pulled her house to her.
"It's already noon, so why not go home and have dinner before leaving!"
Shangguan Ting wanted to refuse, but was taken to her home by Mrs. Xiao without saying anything. The Xiao family was very enthusiastic when they saw her. Shangguan Ting went home after having a meal and talked about this with her father. Shangguan Jin sighed,
"If you really meet a good person, you can't eat and live in the family for nothing every time. When you go back, you will carry the local products from this family. Although it is not worth a lot of money, it is also a pleasure!"
"Yes, Daddy!"
Shangguan Ting nodded and waited for another three days to send her clothes. Sure enough, she carried some dried fruits to the Xiao family. Shangguan Ting felt a little embarrassed.
"We have no specialty in our place, so we can only have these wild fruits growing in the soil. They are smaller, but after drying, they taste very sweet..."
Xiao Guirong looked surprised when she saw this, and then smiled after tasting one.
“It’s really delicious…”
Then he divided half of the fruit and put it on a plate, and the other half put it in a cloth bag. Shangguan Ting was puzzled when he saw this.
"There are nowhere next to us. There are so many such fruits. Sister Xiao eats them, so you don't have to save money. I'll carry some when I come back next time!" Xiao Guirong smiled at her.
"An An is a child who grew up in the mountains. His favorite is this kind of wild fruit. I'll leave some for her, and she's here today!"
As they spoke, they heard the sound of horse hooves outside. When the two looked up, they saw Wu Xinan, dressed in red, was turning over and dismounting. When they came in, they called Shangguan Ting,
"I heard that Sister Shangguan went to the city to find a living, and was thinking about when I would meet her, but I didn't expect that she would catch up today!"
Shangguan Ting saw her wearing a strong red dress, her hair was made of a ponytail, and she rode a tall horse with a high head, and her eyebrows were full of energy. Such a woman looked like a very happy person.
Shangguan Ting's eyes flashed with envy, and she smiled and said,
"I also want to see Sister Wu. You are the only one who is busy with noble people and you have never had time!"
Wu Xinan laughed,
"I'm just busy!"
The two of them said a few polite words. Wu Xinan walked in and saw the wild fruit on the table and said with a smile.
“Is there something delicious?”
Xiao Guirong smiled,
"This is the dried fruit brought by Sister Shangguan. It tastes great. Please try it..."
Wu Xinan grabbed two and threw them into his mouth, chewed them carefully and said,
"It's indeed sweet and fragrant. I haven't eaten such a fruit for a long time!"
But he ate a few more, Xiao Guirong said with a smile,
"I know you have left half of your favorite..."
Wu Xinan said with a smile,
"I know that Sister Rong loves me the most..."
After saying that, he smiled,
"I love Sister Rong too. I know that your marriage is approaching now, so there must be a lot of things to be done. I'll see the shop a few days later!"
Xiao Guirong smiled,
"You have a lot of things to do, and Lord Pei can't leave you every day. If you go back late, he will come to pick you up. I dare not use you!"
At that time, I was so cold that I couldn't help myself in this winter!
Wu Xinan said with a smile,
"He has to go on a business trip a few days later, and he can't come back anytime even if he wants to take it!"
Xiao Guirong wanted to marry a Jinyiwei himself, so he naturally knew that Jinyiwei was going to run around outside. He heard that he understood and nodded without asking much questions. Shangguan Ting, who was beside him, suddenly interrupted,
"Is Lord Pei going on a business trip? Where are you going? Are you not spending New Year's Day in Beijing?"
Wu Xinan was stunned for a moment, but still responded with a smile.
"I don't know where he is going to go by the tomb sent by the court. I'm afraid he can't go out at this time of the New Year!"
Xiao Guirong watched coldly, and her heart was thrilled. She knew how attractive Pei He's face was to the little girl, and she couldn't help but sigh secretly.
"It seems that the daughter-in-law that my mother is looking forward to is going to be ruined!"
On that day, Wu Xinan had dinner at the Xiao family before returning to the Beizhen Fushi. When she returned to the courtyard, she saw Jin Baliang and Liu Chongjiu sitting at the stone table talking to Pei He. There was a piece of paper on the table. When she saw her coming back, she waved her hand repeatedly.
"Stupid girl, come here and show you something good!"
Wu Xinan went over and saw that it was a land deed. He saw that the address on it was Sichengfang. How big is the house? How many houses are there? How many houses are there? How many houses are there? What is the name of Pei He? There is also the name of the official who is in charge, and the red seal of the government is a serious house contract.
Wu Xinan was very surprised. Since the two of them got married, Pei He handed over all his salary and his family's property was in his control. When did Pei He buy a house and he didn't know whether he was in the inner city?
When Pei He saw his wife's face full of confusion, he immediately understood her question and raised his hand and pointed at Jin Baliang.
"This house was bought by Master and Uncle!"
It's nothing to do with me, but I don't hide my private money!
Wu Xin'an asked Jin Baliang,
"What did you buy a house for Pei He?"
The two looked at each other, and Jin Baliang said with a smile,
"It's not for him, it's for us to support our elderly care. I thought that we only had such an apprentice, and we will rely on you for our elderly care in the future, so I simply wrote Pei He's name on the house..."
Liu Chongjiu also said with a smile,
"It's not for you to give it to you for nothing. I will be old with your master in the future, and I will still want you to serve you!"
Wu Xinan and Pei He looked at each other and knew their thoughts. Based on their wealth, they hired hundreds or eighty servants to serve them. That was not a bit heartbreaking. They didn’t need them to serve them. These two were just looking for an excuse to send them to their house!
Wu Xinan looked at Pei He, but Pei He had his eyes rolled up.
"Are you planning to rely on me?"
Jin Baliang smiled and said proudly,
“That’s right!”
Pei He lowered his eyes and thought for a while and nodded,
"good!"
The two were overjoyed when they heard this, but they didn't care that Pei He just pulled Wu Xin An,
"Stupid girl, let's go and see the house, it looks so beautiful inside!"
These two people have become sophisticated. The house that has been chosen by thousands of people is really great. The owner in front of them is an elegant man. The house is very exquisite and specially built from Jiangnan. Every brick and tile is extremely exquisite. As soon as Wu Xin'an entered, he felt like he had returned to his home in Hangzhou. There are pavilions, towers, small bridges, flowing water, flowers, plants, trees, every step, a scene, a song and a painting. It has the elegance of the gardens in the south of the Yangtze River and the grandeur of the northern house.
Jin Baliang and Liu Chongjiu were also very particular people. After leading Wu Xin'an and Pei He to watch, they pointed and pointed. To revitalize the water here, they needed to rebuild a fish pond, and to push down the walls there to make the yard look wider. They had to build a rockery and build a pavilion above, overlooking the courtyard, plant trees there, and growing flowers here, not to mention changing furniture and hiring servants. It seemed like a big project and scattering silver.
Wu Xinan was naturally a duck listening to thunder, and looked confused, but Pei He said to the two with a cold face,
"You can do whatever you want to do in this place next to the house. You are the only one who is my and An An yard, so you are not allowed to interfere!"
The two nodded repeatedly,
"That's natural!"
As long as you are willing to accept this house, everything is easy to say!
Jin Baliang said with a smile,
