What woman doesn’t want a strong natal family to act as a back-up when she marries her husband’s family?
She used to come from a poor family, so she would not think anyone would dare to bully her daughter. Thinking about this situation now makes her sad.
After all, he was the one holding his daughter back.
Chu Nanzhi was also afraid that she would think too much, and comforted in a soft voice: "Lin Dalang has no reliable relatives no matter how important his life is. This has always been a regret in his heart. He still has to rely on you as his mother-in-law for many things at home. He can't go there.
Just rely on Chen."
When Liu Yun heard this, she immediately laughed proudly: "That's right, a stinky girl like you doesn't want to live peacefully at home caring for her husband and raising children. Even though there are so many servants in the family now, the little treasures are still
You have to have close relatives to take care of you so that you can feel at ease. From now on, I will come over and help you take care of your little baby."
"That couldn't be better."
Chu Nanzhi said with a smile: "I am planning to buy more properties in the future, but I am afraid that I will not be able to accompany the little babies every day. With my mother helping to take care of them, and with the guidance of Chang Lao and Nie Lao, I am naturally at ease.
Not long ago, I bought a small courtyard in the east of the city. I was waiting for Li Sanlang and his family to buy a good house in the city. My mother asked my father and Shu Yang to move to the city. It was convenient for Shu Yang to expand the toilet business.
some."
"That's not possible. It's great to live in our old house. You can also grow your own fruits and vegetables. If you live in the city, even if you eat some vegetables, you have to buy them at the market."
When it came to raising children, Liu Yun was totally willing, but she found it difficult to comply when it came to moving to the city.
Chu Nanzhi had no choice but to obey: "Okay, okay, it all depends on mother. When Xinfang City is built, I will buy another house for you near the palace, so that you and your father can come to the city if they want to live there."
If you want to go back to the village, you can go back to the village and stay for a few more days. Anyway, it’s convenient if you have a carriage at home.”
"How much money will it cost? Luyan Port is always a place where every inch of land is valuable. Now that it has become the state capital, those houses will probably cost a lot more money."
Liu Yun felt distressed when she thought of all the money flowing out.
"No matter how much money you earn, you have to spend it. You can't save it all if you live or die."
Chu Nanzhi smiled lightly.
Liu Yun's words also gave her new ideas for property purchase and expansion.
She originally thought that after the restaurant business started, she would open some branches and do a model operation.
Now that Luyan Port has become the state capital, the prices of houses and shops will naturally rise.
During this time, she also discovered some of Sang Kun's talents. He and his people built the book school and utility room in his house with his own hands, and they looked pretty good.
How can I keep such a treasure in my hands and just drive and raise horses all day long?
In addition, I now have a lot of money on hand. Instead of staying in the bank and paying management fees, it is better to take it out and make some reasonable investments.
Real estate is a good project in any era.
To be an excellent investor, you must have a precise vision. Since you are targeting the food, clothing, housing and transportation industries, you must learn to cast your net everywhere.
Only in this way can we accumulate more capital as soon as possible and prepare for Lin Jinxiao's future entry into Beijing.
I was thinking about the available land in the city, and before I knew it I was inside the restaurant.
After getting off the carriage, Lin Jinxiao looked at the completed new house, which gave people a completely new look. He was simply stunned by the masterpiece designed by his wife.
It is comfortable and warm without losing its elegance.
Along the street is a row of glazed sculptures, which beautify and package the originally bare courtyard walls. Flowers and birds are carved here and there with lifelike pictures and text. The hanging lanterns are scattered here and there, adding some unique ancient charm.
Chu Nanzhi pulled him and the little treasures inside and introduced: "These carvings are based on my idea. Butler Zhao invited craftsmen who made paintings in the county to make them. At night, the street lights are lit, and they look like they can
It presents a scene of blooming flowers.”
She transformed the original front hall into the main structure of a two-story restaurant. There are more than ten Eight Immortals tables arranged in an orderly manner in the center of the first floor. There are lower pavilions along the corners, with gauze curtains and curtains on the inner layer.
The outer lattice curtains set off each other and are arranged around the pavilion, so that the scenery inside can be vaguely seen.
Chu Nanzhi continued: "This house is not suitable for planting flowers and plants. I asked the craftsmen to make some fake peach blossoms, which will be delivered in two days. Then they will be placed around the pavilion to complement the murals on the walls. At night,
The lanterns placed everywhere are very artistic when you think about it.”
In this era, the art of making artificial flowers and plants has already been developed, and it is not difficult to make some simple artificial flowers and plants.
Lin Jinxiao stopped and looked around. It was the first time for the little treasures to come here today. Seeing such a beautiful house, which was even more beautiful than the house at home, they couldn't help but asked happily: "Mom, did you design everything inside?"
"
"of course."
Chu Nanzhi did not dare to take all the credit for herself, and replied with a smile: "Speaking of which, Butler Zhao in Taigong Zhao's house is indeed a capable person. No wonder the old lady asked me to safely leave all the affairs to him.
, I handed him the drawings I drew, and told him some of my ideas, and he implemented everything to my satisfaction."
Lin Jinxiao felt a little jealous in his heart: "With such a large property, the Zhao family naturally needs a smart and capable housekeeper."
Hearing this, Chu Nanzhi couldn't help but glance at Sang Kun behind him, and said with a smile: "Sang Kun, from now on, I will leave the properties I have purchased to you to take care of for me."
"I?"
Sang Kun blinked his charming green eyes, his delicate little face was stunned for a while, and he was flattered and said: "Master, can I do it?"
"sure."
Chu Nanzhi said with firm eyes: "You can't keep horses in your house all your life. From now on, I will give you and Sang Qi more monthly salary. In the future, if you save some money, you can start a family in Luyan Port. You can't keep it forever."
Wandering with your sister without a fixed abode."
Sang Kun showed a wry smile, and then replied vowedly: "I will do my best to take care of the master's affairs."
Chu Nanzhi nodded with satisfaction and looked up in the direction of the second floor: "Upstairs are the private rooms. Although the pavilions on the first floor are blocked by curtains, they are still noisy. Those wealthy families who like to be clean can go to the second floor.
Let’s eat in the private room upstairs.”
Lin Jinxiao thought and nodded: "I saw that the area outside the courtyard facing the street is quite empty. Why aren't there some places to park carriages?"
"I have reserved stables in the yard."
Chu Nanzhi pulled him and everyone out: "After all, it is a restaurant. If the stables are placed outside, it will stink all day long, which will inevitably affect the appetite."
Lin Jinxiao nodded slightly, but he had overlooked this point.
When we arrived at the courtyard, the original courtyard walls had been completely removed compared to before, and a lot of the old trees against the walls had also been cut down. Several stone arch bridges were built connecting the ponds, and there was one under the bridge.
Artificial canals are still being excavated.
There are green willow escalators everywhere around the stone arch bridge.
Chu Nanzhi then introduced: "All the mansions of Zhao Taigong's family are not good, but there is one place that people like very much. It is too big. This is the only house in Qinghefang. The yard is big. If you plant some ancient Centian trees,
It always gives people a gloomy feeling, so I replaced the roads in the courtyard with osmanthus trees and wintersweet trees, and planted peach trees in the open spaces inside. I kept the original willow trees around the ponds and canals.
In this way, there are peach orchards in spring, fragrant osmanthus flowers on both sides of the road in autumn, and plum trees in winter. There are always endless views to enjoy."
