The best farmhouse

Chapter 131 Ji Yanran

It was good that Zhao Canniang didn't bring up this matter, but now that it was mentioned, Zhao Qingfeng's mood improved.

"The thing is like this, isn't it that I went out to look for a house, but I couldn't find a suitable one. As a result, I was planning to ask two more girls today. I met a girl I asked yesterday, and she told me that there is a The house is near here, but the price is a bit higher, so I went to see it curiously, and it turned out that it is really close to here, on the back street, a small courtyard is not big, but the inside is very clean and tidy, and the environment is good , I saw that I was satisfied, so I paid half a year's rent, a total of three taels of silver."

Zhao Qingfeng was in a good mood. Before the exchange of three taels of silver, it was a year's ration for the family, but now, three taels of silver is just a matter of Zhao Qingfeng's one or two days. After thinking about it, although it is still a bit expensive, it is rare to find It was so suitable that I paid half a year's rent.

Zhao Canniang felt a little strange when she heard that, there was such a coincidence there, and the rent of three taels of silver for half a year was really not expensive, the house in Yucheng was really cheap.

However, Zhao Canniang really couldn't think of where the strangeness was.

"By the way, brother, have you written a contract?"

If the contract is written, there is nothing wrong with it. If it is not written, there may be a problem.

Zhao Qingfeng took out the contract in his arms and handed it to Zhao Canniang: "See if there is any problem with this contract. If there is no problem, you can put it away, and I will go buy quilts and utensils later, and I will come tonight pick you up."

There are some furniture in the house, but you have to buy things like quilts yourself.

Zhao Canniang read the contract and found that there was nothing wrong with it, so she felt relieved: "Brother, when you buy quilts, buy new ones, don't buy old quilts."

Zhao Canniang couldn't help telling her that she felt uncomfortable under the old quilt.

And Zhao Qingfeng was economical about these things, so Zhao Canniang couldn't help but to give them some advice.

"Understood, I'll go first."

After sending Zhao Qingfeng away, Zhao Canniang carefully supervised everyone's work.

In the evening, the invited craftsmen had already received their wages and left, and Zhao Canniang was packing things in the shop.

Zhao Qingfeng arrived at this time.

"You just came." Zhao Canniang stayed in the shop all day today, feeling a little uncomfortable.

Zhao Qingfeng chuckled: "I cleaned up the yard, so I came here now."

In Ke's house, Xiao Yu stood in front of Ke Tianlin and said seriously: "My son's work is done, they have moved into the small courtyard."

Ke Tianlin sat on the chair, drinking tea while listening to Xiaoyu's report.

"It's good to move in, this matter will stop here, and the rest is up to them. Remember to tell Yazi not to say anything."

The house that Zhao Qingfeng and the others rented was of course arranged by Ke Tianlin. The house is in the most prosperous location. Although the yard is not big, the price is definitely not low. The three taels of silver that I received for half a year must be more than this price, but it was Ke Tianlin's confession. Zhao Canniang and the others were only charged three taels of silver, and Ke Tianlin added the rest.

He did it so mysteriously, but Ke Tianlin himself didn't even know what he was thinking about, maybe he was afraid that Zhao Canniang and his sister would not appreciate it!

Seeing Ke Tianlin's unpredictable expression, Xiaoyu couldn't help laughing and said, "Could it be that the young master really has a crush on that little girl?"

Hearing what Xiaoyu said, Ke Tianlin just rolled his eyes at Xiaoyu, but he didn't deny that he was interested in Zhao Canniang. Zhao Canniang was careless, she didn't look like a girl at all, but she attracted his attention that way.

Xiaoyu understood everything after seeing it: "Master, Xiaoyu is just a little worried. You have a marriage contract with Miss Ji's family... Even if you like Zhao Canniang, Zhao Canniang will at most be a concubine in the future...."

Xiaoyu didn't continue after saying this, he believed that Ke Tianlin understood what he meant.

Sure enough, after Xiaoyu's reminder, Ke Tianlin's complexion suddenly turned bad.

"Talking." Ke Tianlin's tone was a little heavy.

Xiaoyu knew that Ke Tianlin was angry, so he hurriedly said with a sneer, "I'm not thinking of you, sir! With Zhao Canniang's fiery temper and true temperament, she definitely wouldn't be wronged by being a concubine. It is impossible to pass the test, Zhao Canniang was born too low after all, I am worried about the future..."

In fact, Xiaoyu has selfish intentions in reminding him like this. He is a slave, and he is still by Ke Tianlin's side every day. If Ke Tianlin does something demeaning, or makes his wife angry, he will not be the one who will suffer and be punished. .

Zhao Canniang's birth is too low, even if she is with Ke Tianlin, there will be no good results. Reminding Ke Tianlin like this now is to hope that this relationship will be killed in time before it blossoms. If not, think about Madam Furious, Xiao Yu couldn't help touching his face.

At that time, he will be the one who suffers the most, so he must prevent Ke Tianlin from falling in love with Zhao Canniang.

After Ke Tianlin was reminded by Xiaoyu, there is still something I don't understand. Zhao Canniang is a peasant girl. If she wants to have no status or status, even if she marries her as a concubine, it may cause controversy.

Xiaoyu's reminder is right, it's just her own heart.

Ke Tianlin couldn't help but raised his hand and touched his chest, he couldn't betray his heart.

He knew very well that he liked Zhao Canniang very much. Although Zhao Canniang was still young, Zhao Canniang gave him the feeling that Zhao Canniang was mature and sensible beyond her age.

"This matter is not allowed to be brought up in front of Madam, you are afraid of Madam's board, aren't you afraid of mine?" Ke Tianlin's own bureau doesn't have the capital to fight against his family now, so he has to work hard.

Xiao Yu had a bitter face when he heard this, how could he forget that the one in front of him was also a demon.

"Don't worry, son, I won't say anything in front of my wife." Xiaoyu said seriously.

Ke Tianlin just glanced at Xiaoyu indifferently, and continued to ask: "Do you know if the next few passed the test?"

Those who went out last time, as long as they were nine years old or older in the family, they were all assigned.

And up to now, he is the only one in the family who has come back, and none of the others have come back, probably because they haven't passed the test yet.

Ke Tianlin has been following his father recently, that is, Mr. Ke is learning to manage the family business. As long as he takes good care of it, succession to the head of the family is a certainty in the future.

Hearing Ke Tianlin's question, Xiaoyu smiled strangely: "Young master, please don't worry. They haven't passed the test yet, and the most unlucky one is the second son, who has made the shop he manages lose money for three consecutive months. The situation is not very good, but...Young Master, you have to be careful of the third young master."

When Xiaoyu said this, he looked at Ke Tianlin with some concern.

That's the look of hesitating to speak.

"What's wrong with the third son?" Ke Tianlin asked indifferently.

He didn't know that he was a little proud now.

This is not good.

Xiao Yu still dared to talk about Ke Tianlin, so he said honestly: "The third son has recently heard that he has made a lot of profits, and the master is interested in calling the third son back."

After Xiaoyu finished speaking, Ke Tianlin became serious.

"You said the master wanted to call Tianqi back?" Ke Tianlin finally began to pay attention to this matter. If Ke Tianqi really came back so early, the outcome would be hard to say.

"You should go and find out more news these days."

Ke Tianlin felt that a storm was coming.

Zhao Canniang closed the door and followed Zhao Qingfeng to the rented place.

The post house has already been withdrawn, and Zhao Qingfeng has also moved into the newly rented house.

Passing through the alley next to the shop leading to the back street, Zhao Qingfeng led Zhao Canniang into a more secluded alley.

Looking at the scene in front of her, Zhao Canniang was a little surprised, she never thought that behind the noisy street, there was such a quiet place.

Zhao Qingfeng walked a few steps forward, and a door appeared in front of his eyes: "This alley is full of nearby businessmen, most of whom come to do business from other places like us, and everyone is in the shop during the day, so it's relatively quiet here. "

Zhao Qingfeng explained.

Zhao Canniang suddenly realized, followed Zhao Qingfeng into the door, and a small courtyard appeared in front of her eyes.

The yard is not very big, and there are naturally not many rooms there. There are two main houses directly opposite, and there are two rooms on the left and one on the right. The remaining small space is the yard.

Zhao Canniang took a closer look and found that this place is really good. There is a big jujube tree in the yard. At this time of season, there are no jujubes on the jujube tree.

"Brother is not bad here." Zhao Canniang said with a smile.

Zhao Qingfeng chuckled, and then said: "I saw three rooms here, one for you, one for the brothers of the Zhao family, and one for me will be enough."

This house does not have a kitchen, and there is no well in the yard. To use water, you must fetch water from a public well not far away.

But these are not difficult problems. After all, they don't know how to cook at home, so they can go directly to the store when the time comes. The water is only used for washing their faces and bathing, so living here is refreshing and clean.

Zhao Qingfeng pointed to a room next to him and said: "That room is yours, and brother's is right next to you. I have sent someone to write a letter and brought it back to Baiyun County today. It is estimated that after ten days, The Zhao family brothers will come over, and then you can go back."

This Zhao Canniang has no objection.

Zhao Qingfeng's ability to handle affairs is very strong, so she doesn't have to worry about it, and what she wants to do is to grow the land and make a fortune.

It's too ostentatious to do business, but it's more comfortable to be a landlady.

When I opened the door of my room, I saw a square table. There were only a few simple pieces of furniture in the room, and it seemed that the room was relatively empty.

The quilt on the bed has already been laid by Zhao Qingfeng, there is no dressing table, only a wooden cabinet, Zhao Canniang finally breathed a sigh of relief when she looked at the package inside, and she will go back early when Zhao Qingfeng arranges things here Bar!Zhao Canniang was really worried about Qin's being alone in Baiyun County.

After watching the house, it's time to go out for dinner.

Yucheng at night is not as quiet as expected, especially along the two sides of the river in the city, it is even more lively.

The place where Zhao Canniang lived was not far from the night market. After a simple meal, Zhao Canniang took Zhao Qingfeng to the night market. Because Chen Zhongqiu was there that day, Zhao Canniang didn't have a good time.

Thinking that once he was busy with business, he would not be able to come out to play, so Zhao Canniang wanted to have a good time now.

At the night market, Zhao Canniang was shopping for gadgets she liked while walking.

These are all planned to be taken back to Baiyun County to give away.

Ji Yanran seldom comes out on weekdays, let alone slipping out to play at such a late hour, today she sneaked out with her maid because there was a big show by the river, she never expected to see Zhao Canniang at the market.

Thinking that Zhao Canniang helped her that day, she didn't even thank Zhao Canniang properly, and felt a little embarrassed in her heart.
This meeting saw it, so it was natural to come forward and say hello.

Ji Yanran hurriedly walked towards Zhao Canniang, causing the maid behind her to worry: "Miss, slow down, there are too many people!"

"Zhao Canniang." Ji Yanran walked beside Zhao Canniang excitedly, and slapped Zhao Canniang on the shoulder.

Zhao Canniang, who was picking hairpins, was taken aback.

Lifting his head, he saw Ji Yanran's excited face.

Zhao Canniang didn't know many women, let alone dressed in such a rich way.
Seeing Zhao Canniang's confused face, Ji Yanran reminded her, "You don't remember me! You helped me get my purse back that day."

Zhao Canniang actually happened to think of Ji Yanran: "It's Miss Ji."

Seeing that Zhao Canniang thought of her, Ji Yanran suddenly felt better: "You finally remembered me, I was worried that you would not remember me! I never thought I would meet you here."

Zhao Canniang thinks that Ji Yanran is quite good, at least from now on, Ji Yanran is very enthusiastic and doesn't have any airs.

"Miss Ji, do you also visit the night market?" Zhao Canniang asked.

Ji Yanran smiled slightly and nodded, then hesitatingly asked: "Can I go shopping with you?"

This is naturally not a difficult task, Zhao Canniang agreed without thinking, "If Miss Ji doesn't mind, let's go!" Zhao Canniang actually likes women with such a personality, and thinks that the conversation is more casual and won't feel awkward.

Ji Yanran's maid followed behind, while Zhao Qingfeng followed Zhao Canniang from a distance.

Zhao Qingfeng was very happy to see Zhao Canniang making new friends. From Zhao Qingfeng's point of view, his younger sister just lacked the graceful temperament of a lady. Maybe it would be nice to get in touch with such a lady more.

Naturally he wouldn't bother at this time, and it's good to look at Ji Yanran.

Ji Yanran held Zhao Canniang's arm very intimately, and asked as she walked, "My sister's accent doesn't sound like Yucheng, where is my sister from?"

Zhao Canniang didn't think about hiding it, and she really wanted to make friends with Ji Yanran, so she naturally replied seriously at this time: "I'm from Baiyun County, and I came here with my brother to do business."

"Business? What kind of business is Canniang, can you tell me?" Ji Yanran looked curious. She really thinks that Zhao Canniang is not simple, and it is extraordinary to want to do business!
Zhao Canniang then replied: "We don't have any money to do big business, so we can only do small business. My brother is here to open a restaurant. Why is Ms. Ji still outside at such a late hour? Isn't your family in a hurry?"

Zhao Canniang felt it was strange, logically a boudoir lady like Ji Yanran should stay at home, it was already puzzling when she came out, and Zhao Canniang didn't wonder if it was fake when she was still outside at this time.

When Ji Yanran heard Zhao Canniang's question, she smiled strangely, and said in a low voice: "I sneaked out, my father won't let me out to play! It's okay to come out for a while during the day, but he won't let me out at night, I I came out secretly, hey, I met you here without soap, this is called fate.”

After Ji Yanran finished speaking excitedly, Zhao Canniang smiled and nodded: "Yes, it's called fate. How old is Miss Ji?"

"I will reach my age in a year. I think you must be younger than me. How about I call you younger sister?" Ji Yanran's tone contained a kind of pleading that no one could ignore.

Zhao Canniang smiled: "Miss Ji is being polite."

Hearing that Zhao Canniang was still so polite, Ji Yanran scolded a little coquettishly: "Sister, you are still so polite, I already call you sister, you should call me sister."

Seeing Ji Yanran's serious face, Zhao Canniang smiled: "Sister."

Ji Yanran laughed out loud, and her face was filled with a smile: "Sister, I like your true temperament. Where is my sister's shop?"

From the street to the end of the street, Zhao Canniang and Ji Yanran seemed to have endless things to say.

Zhao Canniang also finally knew the identity of Ji Yanran, the daughter of the prefect of Yucheng, and the real eldest lady of the prefect's family.

"It's getting late, you should go back. If you come out in the future, you can come to Zhao's private restaurant to find me. I may stay in Yucheng for a month."

At this time, there were fewer people in the market, and it was getting late.

Ji Yanran is in a very good mood today. Because of her temper, what Ji Yanran dislikes the most are those twitchy young ladies who speak with hidden words. Ji Yanran doesn't like it even more. Coincidentally, Zhao Canniang is not such a person , not only is amiable, but also very helpful, the key is that Zhao Canniang fits her taste very well.

Ji Yanran was a little reluctant: "When will your store open, remember to send me a post, and I'll ask my dad to write a few words for you, so that those local ruffians don't dare to bully you." Ji Yanran already knew Zhao Canniang The two brothers and sisters are here, they are not familiar with each other, Ji Yanran is of course worried.

Hearing Ji Yanran's words, Zhao Canniang was a little surprised, she didn't expect Ji Yanran to say such a thing.

You know, if there is an inscription from the magistrate, it might save a lot of trouble.

"My sister is here to thank my sister first. When the store is about to open, I will definitely tell my sister." Zhao Canniang said in a low voice.

Ji Yanran smiled and said: "Okay, I'm going back too, I guess I won't be able to come out for a few days, so I must remember to send the post when the time comes, and I can't wait to eat your food."
