Chapter 217 Buying a Shop as a Gift

"I obey!" Lu Dongguang kowtowed again, and then left the Shang study with complicated emotions.

Lu Dongguang went back to the Lu Mansion and told Mrs. Lu that he was going to visit Mr. Lu Zaifu in a few days, but Mrs. Lu hurriedly arranged to prepare things and went without mentioning it.

His Majesty the Emperor in the imperial study was thinking about another thing: spring is here, I wonder how the pepper planting that little girl Ye Zhen mentioned before is going?

No, I have to ask that brat Lu Chengze...

Also, my little Jiaojiao has a big belly, and she is about to give birth...

Ye Zhen doesn't know about His Majesty's little plan, but Ye Family Village is full of energy now!

Liu Ye is going to get married in a few days, and she is married to Ni Dazhuang, the master of Hongye Academy, who teaches royal horses and painting!
Now that he holds two teaching jobs, Mr. Shanshui Ni Dazhuang's apparent income is double, which is hundreds of taels of silver a year!
This kind of income is excellent in Liuye Village, Hongye Town, and Zhaoping County!
The fact that a widow can have such a good marriage after remarrying made many people jealous for a while: This Yejia Village is really a place of geomantic omen, a widow in the village can find a wife with an annual income of hundreds of taels of silver!
Moreover, the Red Leaf Academy allocated a two-and-a-half-story green brick and tile building for the master to live in!
In a three-story house, except for the first floor, only the back half is the kitchen, hall and toilet. The second and third floors are all rooms, and Hongye Academy is equipped with various furniture!It is absolutely comfortable and comfortable for a family to live in!

Ye Zhen is really a lucky star!

Ni Dazhuang felt that this was not enough, he always felt that it was almost meaningless, he quietly found Ye Zhen and Lu Chengze: "I want to buy the shop floor under the house I live in. How much?"

Ye Zhen was stunned for a moment: "Why are you buying the storefront?" The storefront has been said not to be sold, but when there are more students in Hongye Academy, they will be rented out together, and it will cost at least ten taels of silver a month!

"I want to buy a storefront as a bride price for Liu Ye." Ni Dazhuang explained with some embarrassment.

Ye Zhen said with a smile: "That's not acceptable! My shop can't even sell takeout, this head can't be opened."

Ni Dazhuang's face was full of disappointment in an instant.

But Ye Zhen then smiled and said: "But I can rent it to you. How about... 30 years?"

Liu Ye's parents are also in their 40s. If they are going to do business, they will be in their 30s in 70 years. If they are still alive, they will be old enough to retire.

Ni Dazhuang thought about it for a while and understood: it is a rule not to sell, but rules are dead and people are alive. If it is rented, there is no such thing as breaking the rules!

Ni Dazhuang is not short of money, but he doesn't like people to look at him with strange eyes, and he doesn't like people to use him as a cash cow to plot something.

He has traveled all over the years, experienced vicissitudes, and experienced the pain of losing his wife. He has already seen all kinds of things in the world, and he cherishes the simple life now, so he nodded immediately: "Okay! You say the number, and I will give it to you later. bring here."

Ye Zhen began to count: "Under normal circumstances, ten taels of silver a month, 120 taels a year, and 30 taels in 600 years..."

"Okay! I'll send you a bank note later." Ni Dazhuang nodded, everyone in Danqing had money, and they didn't bring any bargaining.

Ye Zhen shook her head and smiled, "I don't want money."

Ni Dazhuang was dumbfounded again: "Don't want money? Then you...?" What do you want?
Ye Zhen smiled and said, "Draw me a picture, and it will be regarded as paying rent. But you still have to tell them to the outside world that this shop is rented, ten taels of silver a month!"

"Okay!" What's the point of painting a picture in order to make my wife happy?Ni Dazhuang agreed without saying a word, turned around and left.

This matter cannot be done by Liu Ye, otherwise the surprise will be gone and it will become a shock!
Ye Zhen called Tianfeng over, asked Tianfeng to write the contract, and sent it to Ni Dazhuang privately.

The spring rain is as expensive as oil. Tianfeng took an umbrella and ran to the academy. Ni Dazhuang should be in the academy at this point.

Because of the rain, Ye Yubao didn't have to go to work in the field today, and was walking home from the academy with his clothes on and an oil-paper umbrella when he encountered the wind.

The manager of Tianfeng is now a familiar face in Yejia Village, everyone knows him, Ye Yubao also said hello: "Brother Tianfeng, is Ye Zhen at home?"

Tianfeng nodded: "Yes."

Tianfeng has been staying in Yejia Village for more than half a year, so he naturally knows the situation of Ye Yubao's family. Tianfeng still has a good impression of Ye Yubao who is self-reliant.

Ye Yubao's eyes lit up, and he followed up and asked, "Can I see Ye Zhen? Is she free?"

Without looking back, Tianfeng said, "I don't know, what's the matter with you? I'll ask for you later."

"I don't have anything to do, I just want to thank her in person." It is said that reading makes people understand, and the masters of Hongye Academy pay more attention to the cultivation of the students' moral character. During the past few months of studying, Ye Yubao's three views have been greatly impacted. Looking at the people and things in the past now, I feel that the whole cognition and judgment standards are different!

Tianfeng agreed to ask Ye Yubao, and Ye Yubao went home happily.

In the mud thatched house at the foot of the mountain in Yejia Village, the two sisters of the Ye family are making cloth shoes and sewing clothes with Ye Erniang in the house. There are also two village women who come to join in the fun and chat while sewing clothes: It’s raining, so don’t worry about it. Going out to work, just do some needlework at home, sell handkerchiefs, purses, cloth shoes, robes, etc. to the students of Hongye Academy.

There are now more than 300 students in Hongye Academy, and the academy is getting bigger and bigger. Now there are nine courtyards, and the building is still under construction. The building in the middle is getting higher and higher. It has four floors and it is not over yet. It is said that it is A five-story library building is to be built.

For the owner of Hongye Academy, everyone is no longer jealous, only looking up: when a person's growth and achievements have far exceeded the scope of what he can catch up with, then there is no need to be jealous.

What women are jealous of now is Liu Ye.

The little widow who was once looked down upon by everyone in Yejia Village is now about to marry the master of Hongye Academy and live in a small three-story building. How lucky is this? !
Er Niu Niang and Chun Ni Niang were sewing the cloth shoes in their hands, while smiling at Er Niang Ye: "Look at Liu Ye, they are all because they are close to Ye Zhen, so they first go to Ye Zhen's house to make stewed pork, Later, she became the housekeeper of Ye Zhen's family, and now she is married to the master of Hongye Academy... It can be seen that whoever gets close to Ye Zhen will benefit!"

Ye Erniang was so regretful that she didn't even hesitate to say she regretted it. Hearing this, she nodded and sighed feebly: "Who said she wasn't? If we had known that she was such a blessed person, we wouldn't be able to ignore her even if we were throwing pots and bolts at the beginning." ah!"

Er Niu Niang sneered: "You can do it! When you were in Hongye Town, even though you were not a wealthy family, you could take in a few children and feed them, so you wouldn't be forced to sell them!"
