Chapter 110 My second grandfather bought a mansion
"The Eight Parts of the Dragon" has been completely written and all fifty volumes have been published. This makes Jia Yun feel a lot more relaxed now, at least she doesn't have to stay up late to write the book like before.
By writing the million-word "Dragon and the Eight Parts", Jia Yun deeply understood a truth, that is, writing a book is really a tiring job, which is not only tiring for the body but also for the brain.
Those online novels in the previous life often had millions of words, and those online writers often had to update six to seven thousand or even tens of thousands of words a day. I don’t know how they survived?
However, writing books in this era is more tiring than those online writers in previous lives. Because there is no computer, Jia Yun can only write with a pencil and a brush. There is no electric light. The firelight is very harmful to the eyes.
Fortunately, Jia Yun's eyes don't seem to be nearsighted now. If he becomes myopic or even highly myopic because of writing books, it will cause some inconvenience.
Now it seems that writing "The Eight Parts of the Dragon" is worthwhile, because Jia Yun's calligraphy level is not low when writing this book.
Moreover, "Dragon Babu" has brought Jia Yun an income of 500 taels of silver in the past year!
This novel has already become a bestseller in Qing Dynasty!
…
…
It's quiet at night.
Jia Yun was reading in the study, and she was reading "Li Weigong Questions and Answers", which is one of the "Seven Books of Martial Arts".
Although the questions for the martial arts examination are only from "Sun Tzu", "Wu Zi", and "Sima Fa", reading more other military books is also beneficial to the military examination, and Jia Yun feels that some military books of this era should be placed in this era.
It has some utility in war.
Jia Yun has now not only studied "Sun Tzu", "Wu Zi" and "Sima Fa" very deeply, but also the other four "Seven Books of Martial Arts", "Six Tao", "Three Strategies", "Wei Liao Zi", "
Li Weigong's Questions and Answers" have also been studied in depth.
Zijuan was standing behind him, stretching out her two slender hands to squeeze his shoulders.
The light of the fire is swaying gently, the pretty maid is squeezing the shoulders, and the red sleeves are fragrant. Studying in this situation is not very boring.
What Zijuan said at dinner was judged by Jia Yun as something new. However, at night, Jia Yun still asked Zijuan to squeeze his shoulders.
Zijuan was eager to do this kind of thing, not only because she wanted to get close to Jia Yun in this way, but also because she felt sorry for Jia Yun and knew that it was not easy for Jia Yun to learn martial arts and her body would inevitably feel sore sometimes.
However……
Now Zijuan was resentful: "Second Master, do you want me to continue squeezing you? I've been squeezing you for almost half an hour. My arms and hands are numb, and my legs are numb when I stand."
Jia Yun smiled and said, "I'm remembering the time. It's not half an hour yet. If you persist for a while, you will be allowed to sleep in the outer bed tonight, otherwise I will let Xiren sleep in the outer bed tonight."
Zijuan let out a "poof", but continued to squeeze Jia Yun's shoulders.
In the past year, Xiren and Zijuan have repeatedly proposed to Jia Yun about warm beds and extra beds. The former Jia Yun has never agreed, while the latter has agreed not long ago.
Xiren and Zijuan even had a little quarrel over this matter. They both wanted to sleep in an outer bed, but Jia Yun finally made the decision to sleep in an outer bed for one night each.
It's Zijuan's turn tonight, she doesn't want to be replaced by the attacker!
At this time, Jia Yun suddenly said: "For the sake of you and Xiren who have served me wholeheartedly for more than a year, I will give you a surprise in a few days."
Zicuckoo's eyes suddenly lit up: "What's the surprise?"
Jia Yun gave it away: "If you tell me now, it won't be a surprise then. You will naturally know it in a few days."
Zijuan snorted, she really wanted to know now, but she also knew Jia Yun, and knew that if there was something that Jia Yun didn't want to say, he wouldn't say it even if he asked him again and again.
In the next few days, Xiren and Zijuan were looking forward to Jia Yun's surprise.
Naturally, Bu Wuniang also knew about this and asked Jia Yun. Jia Yun said that she was also responsible for the surprise, but she refused to say what the surprise was.
…
…
Ten days later, the Imperial College will be on winter vacation.
Like Jing's Martial Arts School, the Imperial College's winter vacation also lasts for a month. It is also a long vacation at the end of the year, with the purpose of allowing students to go home to celebrate New Year's Eve and the Spring Festival.
This morning, when Jia Yun was having breakfast with Bu Wuniang, Xiren, and Zijuan at home, she suddenly said: "After breakfast later, I will take you to a place."
Bu Wuniang asked subconsciously: "Where to go?"
Jia Yun smiled and said: "I'll show you the surprise!"
Xiren and Zijuan suddenly became excited. Even Bu Wuniang was a little excited. She was also looking forward to Jia Yun's so-called surprise in these ten days.
You can witness the surprise, Xi Ren, Zicuckoo even eats faster.
Jia Yun said with a smile: "Eat slowly, don't choke. The surprise won't make you run away."
Xiren immediately lowered his head in shame, while Zijuan disagreed: "Although the surprise will not run away on its own, if the second master suddenly changes his mind later and asks us to wait a few more days, we won't be able to bear it.
These days, sister Xiren and I are often thinking about your surprises, and we also wonder if the second master has forgotten it."
Xiren quietly glared at Zicuckoo and thought: You said it was yours, why did you involve me?
Although Xiren is two years younger than Zijuan, Xiren is a cautious person. In addition, Jia Yun has confessed to her before that she has the idea of letting her be a member of the house in the future. Bu Wuniang also hinted at this several times.
idea……
Therefore, Xiren paid special attention to her image in front of Bu Wuniang this year, fearing that Bu Wuniang would be dissatisfied with her and lose her position in the room.
Zicuckoo is more cheerful. Although she has long wanted to be Jia Yun's roommate, she will not restrain her nature because of this.
…
…
Che Seo Ma Hutong is an alley not far from Xiaohuazhi Hutong.
There are alleys everywhere in Shenjing City, and the names of many alleys sound strange, but there are also meanings behind the strange names of many alleys.
Cars, Sedans and Horses Hutong, as the name suggests, is because this alley is very wide, making it convenient for cars, sedans and horses to move around. Although it is called an alley, its width is actually comparable to Ningrong Street, and its length is longer than Ningrong Street.
Che, Seo and Ma Hutong is a residential area for the wealthy. The lowest-end residences in the alley are two-entry houses, while three-entry houses are only mid-range here because there are two luxurious mansions built in this alley.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! At this time, Jia Yun and two soldiers rode into the carriage, sedan and horse alley, followed by a large luxury carriage, driven by Yu Zhu.
There were four people sitting in the car: Bu Wuniang, Xiren, Zicuckoo, and Liu Wuer.
The carriage was not small, and it was still crowded with four people squeezed in at once. However, Bu Wuniang, Xi Ren, and Zicuckoo didn't care about this at this time, and they were all looking forward to Jia Yun's surprise.
Sister-in-law Liu and two maidservants were walking beside the carriage.
Jia Yun said that even they share in this surprise.
At this moment, Jia Yun stopped her horse in front of the main entrance of a mansion in the carriage, sedan and horse alley, then got off her horse, walked to the front door, took out the key and opened the front door.
Jia Yun let all the carriages and horses enter the mansion through the main gate and parked in the main courtyard.
Zijuan took the lead and couldn't help but ask: "Second Master, what is this?"
Jia Yun smiled slightly and said to Bu Wuniang, Xiren and Zicuckoo in a tone that could not hide her pride: "This will be our home from now on!"
Just when Jia Yun took the key to open the front door, Bu Wuniang, Xi Ren, and Zicuckoo had already smartly realized that Jia Yun had suddenly bought a mansion.
Even so, hearing Jia Yun say this from her own words, the three of them were still surprised and pleasantly surprised.
Astonished, Zicuckoo sighed inwardly: Oh my god, my second master actually bought a mansion!
Sister-in-law Liu and the two maids who followed were also pleasantly surprised.
Even Liu Wuer was pleasantly surprised.
The three soldiers, including Yu Zhu, were not surprised. They had known about this for a long time.
After being pleasantly surprised for a while, Bu Wuniang asked Jia Yun: "How much money did you spend to buy this mansion?"
Everyone looked at Jia Yun, all curious about this question.
Jia Yun responded truthfully: "Three thousand five hundred taels of silver."
As soon as this number was announced, Bu Wuniang, Xiren, Zicuckoo, Sister-in-law Liu, Liu Wuer, and the two maidservants were all surprised again!
Bu Wuniang suddenly felt distressed: "Yun'er, where did you get all this money?"
Xi Ren also felt distressed: "Second Master, our house in Xiaohuazhi Hutong is just fine. There is no need to waste so much money to buy such a mansion."
They knew that although Jia Yun was rewarded with 2,000 taels of silver by her mother and the Prince of Beijing County with 50 taels of gold when she was first conferred a title, the total amount was only 2,500 taels of silver, not to mention Jia Yun.
It cost a lot over a year, and the biggest expense was the five hundred taels I gave Bu Wuniang all at once...
Jia Yun smiled and said: "Don't worry, I have been doing business with a friend this year and have made a lot of money."
Bu Wuniang asked: "What kind of deal?"
Jia Yun said: "It's the business of pencils, colored pencils, pencil sharpeners, and pencil erasers."
Xiren's eyes lit up: "Then why didn't you tell us about this earlier?"
Jia Yun said: "I am a knighted man and a martial arts student. For me, this kind of businessman's business is not very important, so there is no need to tell you."
What I was thinking was: Haha, how could money not be important?
Bu Wuniang was a little doubtful: "Really?"
Jia Yun smiled and said: "Mom, you still don't believe me? How could I lie about this kind of thing?"
Bu Wuniang nodded and smiled, knowing that Jia Yun would not lie about this kind of thing.
Jia Yun smiled and said: "Come on, I will take you to visit our new home!"
…
…
As Jia Yun expected, the business of pencils, colored pencils, pencil sharpeners, and pencil erasers was indeed successful, and it became a best-seller in just one year!
In just one year, Jia Yun and Cheng Huanian both received a profit of nearly two thousand taels!
In the past year, Jia Yun also earned 500 taels from "Dragon Babu".
Even if he spent 3,500 taels to buy this mansion this time, he still had several hundred taels in savings.
What's more, after moving into this mansion, the second house in Xiaohuazhi Hutong can be sold.
The landlord originally offered the second house in Xiaohuazhi Hutong for 500 taels. Later, Jia Yun bought it for 400 taels and made a profit. Now Jia Yun has resold it, and it is estimated that she can sell it for 500 taels.
What's more, the pencil business and "Dragon" will continue to provide Jia Yun with high incomes.
This time, Tang Anping helped me buy this mansion.
Jia Yun originally asked Cao Wu and Tang Daqian to help keep an eye on whether the mansion was for sale. Tang Daqian told Tang Anping about it. Tang Anping had a wealthy friend who wanted to sell the mansion, which is the current one.
With Tang Anping's reputation, Jia Yun purchased this mansion at a much cheaper price, spending 3,500 taels, and the value of this mansion should be 4,000 taels.
Jia Yun bought this mansion more than a month ago, but some parts needed to be renovated, so it took more than a month.
Regarding the decoration, Jia Yun put Yu Zhu and five other soldiers in charge, and ordered not to tell Bu Wuniang and others. Yu Zhu was a strict man, and the other four soldiers were also a bit strict, and Yu Zhu was in charge.
