If it weren't for the girl, she would definitely still be in the Hong family in An County, suffering all kinds of injustice.
It was the girl who took her away from there and gave her a new life now.
When Yan Shiqing heard her words and saw the sincerity in her eyes, she felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction.
Sure enough, she was right. Sister Xiaoyun was much better than she imagined.
When the three years were up and he left here, he told her that her deed of sale was not a death contract, and it only lasted three years.
Now I have to appease her heart so that she doesn't think too much.
"Xiaoyun, after you go to Shuyang, pay more attention to Dashudian. After all, I brought him out. If there is anything, I can't explain it to the village. After all, Shuyang is far away from the capital, and there are many things that I can't handle here.
I can’t take care of it.”
"Well, don't worry, girl."
At noon, Grandma Huo and Xiao Wa came back, with a look of joy on their faces.
"Girl, the old slave and the little boy went to the Qianshi Alley today. Xiaoxi and Xiaoyang really inquired about a few houses, and two of them are very good. The size and layout of the two houses are not far apart.
One is near the back of the food stall where we went to eat a few days ago. The other is not far from the Meng’s house, diagonally opposite the Meng’s house.”
"The quiet one near Meng's house? How big is it, but with a well? Have you asked about the price? How much does it cost?"
The little boy put down the seawater beads in his hand, poured himself a glass of water, and said hurriedly: "Girl, the slave and the nanny are all interested in that yard. When I passed by today, the family was cleaning up the yard and preparing to move out. It is said that his family
My son is working as an official outside and has now settled down. I plan to take them over. Because I am in a hurry and need cash, the price is only one hundred and eighty taels. The courtyard is for the young couple to enter and there is a well."
Grandma Huo hurriedly added: "To find tranquility in the midst of the hustle and bustle, I'm talking about that house. The layout is from north to south, with a small garden, and it was newly renovated this year."
The key is that the price is also cheap, which Grandma Huo never said.
"Mom, has it been settled?"
"No, I just told the family that I have to come back and take the girl over to have a look. If there is no problem, I can buy it directly."
After all, Aunt Huo did not make the decision without authorization. In this foreign country, Yan Shiqing was her boss, so she naturally had to respect her.
"If it's true as you said, then go over and have a look in the afternoon. If you have no problem, buy it first. It will save you a lot of nightmares."
After all, good things are noticed by everyone. Maybe if she hesitates here, someone will buy them over there.
a quarter of an hour later
Aunt Huo saw the little boy pestering Xiaoyun to make her something to eat and left, so she whispered to Yan Shiqing and persuaded her: "Girl, one hundred and eighty taels, we are still short of seventy taels in cash now, why not start with
Master Guan Xuan borrowed a hundred taels, and it won’t be too late to pay back the money from the old lady later. In my opinion, we should keep the ones we brought with us. Unless it is absolutely necessary, we should not spend them first.
Already."
Yan Shiqing originally thought that she had a lot of gold with her, so it would be good to spend an ingot first. However, after hearing what Aunt Huo said, her eyes turned and said: "That's fine. When I go back in the future, if this ratio is not enough
If they descend, all the gold they bring will be exchanged for silver."
One ingot of gold, twelve taels, is equivalent to two hundred taels of silver from the Hongwu Kingdom. This transaction is very cost-effective no matter how you calculate it.
Two hundred taels of silver is equivalent to twenty taels of gold in Dachu, so you can make double the profit.
Aunt Huo didn't care about the future, she just subconsciously felt that there must be some emergency money at home, in case something happened and she couldn't turn back.
After all, this is Hongwu, not Dachu, and the people he relies on are not that reliable after all.
Instead of asking for something from others in the end, it is better to leave a way out for yourself.
Thinking of this, she heard Yan Shiqing relent and said: "The old servant will go find Master Xuan right now and ask for the household registration!"
One hundred taels, according to the money Master Xuan asked the shopkeeper to bring, it must be no problem.
In the afternoon, Yan Shiqing and others went out. Seeing that the house was really good and the price was cheap, they asked the Meng family's daughter-in-law to be the intermediary. They went to the Yamen, and after the transfer and deed were filed in person, they paid the lump sum.
silver.
Aunt Huo packed the parcel with the land deed of the new house, with a smile on her face and seemed to be in a very good mood.
"Girl, prepare all the things you are going to prepare tonight for the martial artist to send back. Let's move tomorrow. We don't want to live there for a long time and be seen by others. I'm afraid it will be the same wherever we live."
Yan Shiqing thought for a while, nodded and said: "Okay, but there are so many seawater beads that it's not easy to grind them into powder. Otherwise, let's crush some first, and then directly write the rest to the godmothers and let them do it themselves."
It takes time to do it.”
Xiao Yun on the side heard the words and nodded and said: "Leave the coconut milk candies that the girl mentioned to me. Even if I don't sleep at night, I will make more. But the coconut powder you mentioned is not good, girl."
Not yet dry.”
"It's okay. As much as you can do, don't force yourself."
The main reason is that the time this time is too short. If it had been longer, it would definitely not be so rushed.
At night, Xiaowa pounded pearl powder, Xiaoyun made cakes, Aunt Huo packed the clothes for moving, and Yan Shiqing studied the map of Hongwu Kingdom obtained from Qi Lie.
It is said that in the past two days, Feng Boyi and others had begun to talk about the matter in the court, asking the Hongwu Kingdom to dig canals to connect to the drought and poverty-stricken Chu Kingdom.
I heard there was some opposition in the court, but in fact most people were in favor of this move.
It will soon enter the rainy season, which is equivalent to the flood season, and there will be many casualties among the people. This is not something they are happy to see.
If the excess water could be drained to Da Chu, they would definitely be grateful.
Yan Shiqing copied a map while looking at it. After the ink dried, she drew the map of Dachu that she had copied and put it together.xdw8
She first marked out the river basins with the largest flow of water in Hongwu Kingdom, and then marked the places where it rained a lot all year round. Finally, she sketched the entire cycle and extended it directly to Huaizhou.
Then she looked around the map of Dachu, marked the densely populated towns, and highlighted several places with mountains. Then she sketched the map of Dachu and extended it directly to Huaizhou.
It is connected to the rivers of Hongwu Kingdom.
But in this process, she wasted a lot of rice paper because of research.
This is a big project. As soon as Hongwu Kingdom finalizes it, she will send the drawings to Qi Lie. In addition, Da Chu will also have to send a copy.
Only by starting construction on both sides at the same time can the two canals be interconnected in the shortest possible time and relieve the pressure on the two countries.
"Girl, what is this painting of yours? Why do you think it looks like a map, but I don't want to think about it. Is this the latest painting method?"
