Bianjing little doctor

Chapter 534 Yangzhou Daily Life
When Xin Yi woke up the next day, Fu Jiuqu was nowhere to be seen. The bedding and mats in the room had been tidied up, and no one could see that the husband and wife slept in separate beds.

Xin Yi sat in silence for a while, then got up to take care of the mansion.

This huge mansion is divided into two parts.

The front part is the office, where the prefectural yamen and major political institutions are concentrated.The latter part is the residence of Lord Zhizhou.Waterside gardens, pavilions, rockeries, and exquisite houses are not small in size, and it is a big project to sweep and clean them all.

It has been a few days since the former Zhizhou resigned, and the official affairs of the Yangzhou government are represented by Ge Yong, the general judge.

This mansion has been vacant for a long time. The former magistrate's servants were either dismissed or left with the former magistrate. Now the people working in the mansion, except for Fu Jiuqu and Xin Yi's entourage brought from Bianjing, are all Ge The Yong couple arranged to come over and do chores.

Before Fu Jiuqu moved in, the house had actually been cleaned once, but Xin Yi was worried, so he had already explained yesterday that he had to clean the inside and outside again.

Therefore, when she went out, there were shadows of girls and servants working everywhere.

Being a housewife is not easy.

In the past, in the eldest princess's mansion, there were all the old people that the eldest princess was used to. She only needed to talk and not worry too much.

It is different now. The servants arranged by Ge Yong cannot be completely trusted, and it is difficult to dismiss them without using them. This is a dilemma.

Xin Yi took the roster and looked through it, and found two older stewards from Bianjing's entourage, called them to meet, and explained to them, let them be in charge of the distribution of these personnel.

Except for her and the child's room, those people should be divided equally among the courtyards.

When Liangren and Zhang Dalang came to pick her up at noon, Xin Yi asked them to help hire some capable servants in Yangzhou City to fill in the mansion.

The beloved agreed, and drove Xin Yi to Wenjin Bridge in a donkey cart.

It is not far from Yangzhou government office, densely populated and commercially developed.

The shop is located in a conspicuous position at the head of the bridge. One shop occupies three square meters, the bottom shop is spacious and grand, and there are two floors above the attic. The width and depth of the shop are very suitable. What Xin Yi likes most is that there is a backyard behind the shop. It is a row of back-seat houses facing the water, not only can the shop be opened, but also personnel accommodation can be solved.

The beloved saw her expression, and exchanged a glance with Zhang Dalang.

"I guess my sister will catch it at a glance."

The dentist is on one side, and she can look at the face better than her husband.

"If my lady thinks it's suitable, I'll ask my master to come to the dental shop. You two can meet, have tea, and talk face to face..."

The toothbrush is just a middleman, and he has no control over many things. He sincerely wants to rent a shop, so he has to meet the landlord to talk.

Xin Yi responded, "It's time to work."

The tooth dealer happily passed the word, and Xin Yi, accompanied by her beloved and Zhang Dalang, went to wait in the tooth shop.

About two minutes later, an old man in a gray cloth double-breasted robe hurried over on a donkey, brought a young servant with him, and entered the house with a toothy smile, and kept bowing his hands in salute, very kindly.

Xin Yi went out today wearing a veiled hat, covered by a veil, and no one knew that she was the new wife of Zhizhou.

As Zhang Dalang said, the old man was really easy to talk to, and he bargained for a while, and the rent was reduced by a hundred taels.

Xin Yi had already done his homework before coming, and probably knew the rental price of the Yangzhou shop, weighed it up, and decided on it.

Unexpectedly, when signing the lease document, the old man hesitated to tell her.

"I have something to tell my wife first, lest you and I have to fight after the paperwork is signed..."

Xin Yi smiled slightly, "Mr. Zhen, please tell me."

The old man glanced at the teether, and said softly: "You are foreigners, you may not know much about the little old man. In fact, in Yangzhou, the old man has a nickname, Zhen Bancai, who runs a coffin shop..."

Just now, Cai Yajia only introduced the old man's surname Zhen, named Zhen Kegong, and lived in Liuxiang in the west city of Yangzhou, but didn't say anything else.

Xin Yi glanced at him, and smiled awkwardly: "Mr. Zhen is a straightforward person, and I'm afraid you may disagree with each other. If you ask me, the coffin shop has moved to the other side of Liu Lane a long time ago. It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter... "

No wonder!
It turns out that there was a coffin shop here.

Xin Yi knew it well, and felt that the old man was a frank person, so he renegotiated the price decisively, and the price was reduced by 50 taels. The document was signed in this way, and he got the key to the porter on the spot, and gave it to Zhang Dalang and his beloved, and let them go. manage.

The most important thing to be a manager is to be lazy if you can. It is not advisable to do everything by yourself. To find the right person, you must trust them completely. If you can explain things, let others do it. This is Xin Yi's purpose.

As soon as she returned to the mansion, the two stewards came up to report, and Xin Yi's vision of seeing people was confirmed again. The steward managed everything in the mansion in an orderly manner while she was away.

Xin Yi nodded with satisfaction, rewarded them with money, and divided the labor between the two—the one surnamed Yan was in charge of foreign affairs, and the one surnamed He was in charge of internal affairs.

The two stewards led off happily. Xin Yi looked at the girls in the room and made some arrangements.

Bai Zhi and Zi Wan have been taking care of the three little ones, one is in charge of the two older ones, and the other is in charge of San Nian's residence.Xingyuan and Taoyu were the people Jiu Ge put next to her before, and they were almost inseparable. Xin Yi couldn't arrange their other affairs, so he handed over the private chores in the back house to Xiang Ling.

Xiang Ling just wants to be an ordinary female cook, and she is not willing to take care of so many things, but I heard from Xin Yi that Cheng Cang's family is also a big house, a big family, if you don't learn how to be a housekeeper, you will suffer when you marry in the past. Responding with a blushing face.

The matter between her and Cheng Cang, the horoscope can be regarded as a drop.

On the way to Yangzhou, Xin Yi could tell that the girl Xiang Ling had taken a fancy to Cheng Cang.

Cheng Cang is also a kind person. Xin Yi asked him about it, but he changed his original intention. He immediately said that as long as Miss Xiangling's family agrees, he will write back to Beijing immediately and let the family arrange to go to the Zhang family to propose marriage...

Xin Yi made a combination of the two sides and became the big matchmaker, but it was too inconvenient because of the exhaustion of the boat, and there was no chance for them to formally finalize it.

So on the third day after Xin Yi settled down, he asked Xiang Ling to cook a few dishes, invited Cheng Cang over, and asked the two to meet face to face.

Xin Yi did not inform Fu Jiuqu of these things.

Fu Jiuqu was busy all day long. Apart from helping the three children find teachers to teach, he should not interfere with other chores, and Xin Yi didn't bother to bother him.

The new official took office three fires. Once he arrived in Yangzhou, Fu Jiuqu had to passively enter the role of governor, leaving early and returning late every day.

For at least three or five days, Xin Yi didn't even see him.

He came back too late, and he didn't want to disturb Xin Yi in the room, so he asked the girl to clean up the next room and go to bed here.

The days go by like this...

For half a month, the two rarely met, and each had their own busy schedule.

Fu Jiuqu was busy getting acquainted with the new role, and Xin Yi had to deal with the visits from the officials' wives and rich gentry's wives from Yangzhou Prefecture during the planning of the opening of the medical clinic.

In this era, wives in the back house, apart from taking care of the house, try to find ways to contribute to their husband's career.Even though Xin Yi can push it away, and even refuses all gifts, the daily nagging of these people is still unavoidable.

Half a month later, she finally got bored and asked Zhou Daozi to write a prescription. From then on, she said she was sick and thanked the guests. Finally, she was clean...
