The beautiful pastoral field of Jiangmen girl

Chapter 112
From 500 taels directly to 850 taels, there is a problem.Qing Shu thought for a while, "You go to see it again and wait for the housekeeper's instructions."

Xiaojuan went out again, and came back after a while, "Miss, the steward said that Master Bai really wanted to make friends with the Gufu, and also sincerely gave Zhuangzi 850 taels to the Gufu. The steward also said that you can't let people do business at a loss, let the slaves come and ask Ask Miss, can I add 200 taels?"

That is two thousand and fifty taels of silver, and neither side will lose money.Qing Shu nodded, "Tell the housekeeper, I agree. Also, the house we looked at the day before yesterday was priced at 50 taels. Let the housekeeper tell Feng Yaren that it's 650 taels, and we'll buy it."

After another stick of incense, Gu Qiang personally came back and replied, "Miss, Zhuangzi's two thousand and fifty taels of silver have been negotiated. After a lot of bargaining in that house, now we have talked about 50 taels. Look..."

Qingshu smiled with satisfaction, "Success, you take the young master and go to the yamen to handle related matters. The house deed and the land deed should all be written with the young master's name." Saying that, she got up and went into the inner room, took out the silver box, opened it, He took out the bank notes, counted them, and handed them to Gu Qiang. "How much silver do you need to manage?"

"Dong Shi's family made a point. Those who handle the paperwork in the yamen will have to pay at least three pennies. As for the two Yamen, they can do whatever they want. Because Feng Yaren sells the house for Master Juren, and he wants to get benefits from there; Cheng Yaren He is running errands for Master Bai, so naturally he is indispensable there."

Qingshu nodded as instructed, asked Xiaoyu to bring over three purses, counted out three taels of scattered silver and put them in, and then counted out five taels of scattered silver and a drop of money, "Purse purses are used to manage money, which one do you think?" Pretend less, and add to it yourself. The rest, you take with you in case of emergency.”

Gu Qiang agreed, collected the banknotes and other things, took Qingyang with him, and went to the yamen with Master Bai and the two dentists to handle relevant documents.

Qing Shu couldn't sit still any longer, so she quickly arranged for a manpower.After the house deed is completed and the key to the house is obtained, someone must be sent to clean and arrange it immediately, so as to move in as soon as possible.Now that I have my own house, I have to take over Zhuangzi and the autumn harvest, and time is running out.

Qingshu thought that she has a lot of men working under her command, but women have to do the meticulous cleaning.Ding's sister can't leave Gu Ye's side, Su's mother has to stay and help her take care of Gu Ye's, and Xiaoyu has to stay and take care of her house.In this way, apart from the two women who used to work in Zhuangzi, the only available women are Xu Sanniang, Xu Wuniang and Xiaojuan, which is not enough.She thought about it for a while, and finally asked the owner of the inn to help him find two women who were quick to work.

Shi Wanjin responded enthusiastically.When Qingyang and Gu Qiang completed the paperwork and came back with the house deed, key, and land deed, Shi Wanjin had already found two women, and used the wooden basins and barrels in his inn for cleaning. Take out the rags and rags one by one, and let them use them anyway.

Qing Shu wanted to take someone there to clean it herself, but was stopped by Mother Su and Gu Qiang, who refused to let her go and let her stay in the inn peacefully.In the end, Mother Su took the woman, Gu Qiang took fifteen strong men, and took the utensils that Shi Wanjin enthusiastically provided to clean the newly bought house.

A group of people left at mid-morning and did not come back with cleaning tools until sunset.

The dinner in the kitchen was already ready, and the innkeeper hurriedly yelled to serve the food.Mama Su asked the two helpers to eat before leaving, but they refused, so Mama Su stuffed 25 Wen into each of them, and they took it and left happily.

After dinner, Su's mother reported to Qingshu that she had cleaned the entire house inside and out, and that she could move in and live in it tomorrow as long as she added some things.Before Mr. Zhang moved out, he only sold a few pieces of expensive furniture, and basically kept the rest, such as the beds, tables and chairs in each room.As for wooden cabinets, wooden boxes, etc., half were taken away and half were kept.The things in the kitchen remained intact.

After breakfast the next day, Qing Shu took people over to look at the house.Indeed, everything was clean inside and out, and the room, no matter under the bed or in every corner, looked spotless.In the three entrances of this house, there is a small artificial lake with a small pavilion on the lake.This lake just separates the single small courtyard on the west side from another slightly larger courtyard.

Qing Shu pointed to the small courtyard built separately on the west side of the artificial lake, "This will be Madam's Wenlan Courtyard from now on. Tell Ding Jiabao to bring the carriage here directly, unload the cart, and move all the things that Madam treasures into it. As for How to put it, Madam will figure it out by herself, don't worry about it."

Before leaving Beijing, Gu Ye brought everything she could bring, not a single piece of Four Seasons clothes, and stuffed her two precious wooden boxes full, as well as washing utensils, teacups, porcelain bottles, bedding on the bed, There are a lot of covers and hangings, and they are all loaded into the car.

It's just right now, saving the trouble of buying more, and no need to waste money, Qing Shu comforted herself depressedly.A large part of the reason why she fell in love with this house was because of this small courtyard built alone.There are four main rooms, and there is a small kitchen and a utility room next to it, which is just right for a speechless woman, Gu Yeshi, to be accommodated.From now on, out of sight is out of mind.

Qing Shu pointed to the relatively large yard on the east side of the artificial lake, "My young master and I live here temporarily." She and Qing Yang still have more than two rooms for each other, and there is also a small study room and a small hall. Whether the kitchen is used or not will be discussed later.

She did not make any arrangements for the second house, and left it idle for now.As soon as she entered the house, she let Gu Qiang look at the arrangement.

As for the servants, there is an adobe servant's room at the back, Mother Su and Gu Qiang will make arrangements, and she can't take care of it for the time being.

After walking around for a while, Qing Shu was a little tired, so she sat down to rest.As for the things that need to be added to each room, Mama Su and Gu Qiang already know what to add. Now report to Qingshu, Qingshu doesn't bother to go into details, and decides to be the shopkeeper and give them all the power. silver.

The basic necessities of more than 40 people, spending money like running water, she has long been numb.Fortunately, most of the servants' meals are coarse grains.If, like modern people, she eats white flour and rice plus fish and meat every day, she may have gone bankrupt long ago.

On the second day, Qing Shu and his group paid for the food and lodging at the inn, set off firecrackers in front of the gate of the house, and moved in.Although they are new arrivals from other places, they did not expect to receive four gift money and some eggs, vegetables and other items.Among the four gifts, one is from Bai Qingfeng's mansion, 200 taels of silver; one is from Shi Wanjin, the owner of Shiji Inn, 50 taels of silver; The copy belongs to Cheng Yaren, ten taels of silver.And those eggs, vegetables, etc. were given by the wife of Bai Xianfu's master and a group of women.

When Bai Qingfeng gave such a generous gift of 200 taels of silver, many people looked sideways and were puzzled.Only Bai Qingfeng and Shi Wanjin understand that this is paving the way for the future.Some people say that if the Gu family is really good at it, how can they stay in the capital well, and if they come to settle in their town, they will definitely lose power and cannot gain a foothold in the capital.
