Jiang Ning was speechless. "Sister, although I am very happy to help you, have you ever thought about the distance between Rongshu Village and Songxi Town? The cost of transporting those materials is enough to cover the cost of the materials! What are you trying to do!"
Pan Xiuniang sighed, "Isn't this a trip to Rongshu Village with Datou? Look, the Wei River burst its embankments, and all the other houses in your village were destroyed. Hey! The house made of your adobe is still solid. I If you would rather work harder than give up, don’t try to persuade me! The worst is, I’ll take more trips.”
Jiang Ning gave her a thumbs up, "I really admire you!"
"Hehe. Don't forget that I have my brothers from my mother's side to help me. Now I'm delivering three loads of oysters and bringing back three loads of adobe bricks. I can't believe that I can't afford two houses after ten days and a half!" Pan Xiuniang was very proud because of her oyster business. After giving her brother a hand, everyone in her family now looks up to her. As long as she speaks, she will actively help. With confidence, she can speak and act openly.
Now that Pan Xiuniang has made up her mind, Jiang Ning will definitely help because of the happy cooperation between everyone. She simply takes the opportunity to take a closer look at the layout of the courtyard. She was shocked when she saw it. The entire courtyard was not large in area. It is small, with front and rear entrances to the courtyard. There are eight rooms in the inner courtyard, and the outer courtyard is a lobby room, two side rooms, two side rooms, and four wing rooms in a row.
Opposite the wing room is the stove house and firewood shed. The partitions are very particular. It must have been a prosperous little rich family back then. For some reason, no one lives in the house anymore. It has become unbelievably dilapidated after being left there for a long time. But those blue bricks Pick and choose, and you should be able to pick out half of them available.
Jiang Ning became more and more delighted as he looked at it, and praised Pan Xiuniang for her good taste.
Pan Xiuniang smiled from ear to ear, "If you ask me, your family can buy a courtyard directly here. My house is a bargain. Although other houses are a bit more expensive, they are not much more expensive. Let's just It is said that there is a family at the end of Qingshi Lane who wants to sell their house.
The house is bigger than mine and can still be lived in. The other party offered me six taels, but I really can't afford it, so I have to give up. Your house shouldn't be a problem. "
Jiang Ning shook his head, "No, it's still a little far from the street. My daughter-in-law is pregnant, so it's not very convenient to go to and from the store."
When Pan Xiuniang heard this, she knew that Jiang Ning was also thinking about it, and thought: "There are houses close to the main street, but they are expensive. Mr. An told me a few places before, and they were basically around ten taels, but I didn't even dare to think about it. think."
Jiang Ning's heart moved, and he inquired about the houses carefully. He left here and went to An Yongliang's house again. Under the leadership of An Yongliang, he looked at all the houses and bought a yard on the spot, paying directly. .
Yang Datou came back from cooking in the evening and learned that Jiang Ning had bought a house. He was dumbfounded and said, "Auntie! Why didn't you discuss with me when you bought the house?"
Jiang Ning glanced at him, "What are we discussing with you? Do you have time to accompany me to see the house or do I need your money? Since I don't have to decide on my own, that's fine! The house is in Jingran Lane behind the restaurant. It’s just a few steps away. I bought a big one, packed it up, and it will be ready for people to live in soon.”
“Jingran Lane? Shopkeeper Hua’s house is over there, and there are several wealthy families from Songxi Town living there!” Yang Datou exclaimed.
Jiang Ning curled up his lips and said, "I know, that's why I bought it there. Rich people have many rules and are good-looking, unlike those talkative women in the village who always stare at other people's houses and can't avoid their every move.
Moreover, the public security there is good, and safety is the top priority. I gave the key to Ye Zi. During this time, you can ask a few people to come over and clean it up. It’s almost ready to move. "
Yang Datou got up at dawn the next day and went to Jingran Lane. After seeing his new house, he was as happy as an idiot. When he came back, he said to Jiang Ning: "Auntie, do you want to go to Mapo?" Tell the third and fourth brothers to show them the way? "
"It's up to you. Anyway, this house can't be finished in a day or two. Maybe we won't be able to move in until after the Spring Festival. At that time, I'll ask the flower shopkeeper to send a message and ask them to come back with Hua Yongnian so they can have company. ." Jiang Ning went back after explaining.
She still had to rush out the next batch of paper. In addition, she had to seize the time to collect mushrooms in the mountains in the past few days. If she dragged them down to the mountains, the mushrooms would be gone.
Because she had too many things to do this year, she didn't have time to pick melons. The flower shopkeeper and the town shopkeeper Jin had mentioned it to her several times, and she had to make up for it next year.
Why! Why are there so many things!
Jiang Ning was worried when she walked to the door of her house unknowingly. She opened the door before she could open it. Seeing Yang Erdan, Jiang Ning was shocked, "Why are you back?"
Yang Erdan made a gesture of silence, pulled Jiang Ning into the yard and closed the door, "Auntie, the imperial envoy was attacked in Chi'an County, and he is at our house now!"
"Our home?" Jiang Ning's eyes almost popped out of his head, "Where is it? Where is it?"
Yang Erdan quickly led Jiang Ning to the back row of rooms, and happened to bump into Tian Feng coming out with some soup.
Tian Feng's eyes were red, and he knelt down to Jiang Ning with choked sobs, "Mom, my uncle encountered bandits. Uncle Han said those bandits were not ordinary bandits. Uncle Han can't trust other people, and he doesn't want to implicate County Magistrate Xie. Come to think of it, Go, I can only bring him here! Don’t worry, we came here secretly, no one knows.”
Jiang Ning has a question mark on his forehead.
Yang Erdan said with a guilty look on his face: "Auntie, I met Tian Feng on the way back to collect goods, so I brought them back."
Jiang Ning took a breath of air and couldn't help complaining: "You guys are really destined!"
“Hehehehe. Mom, let’s help them! They look so pitiful!” Yang Erdan said naively.
Jiang Ning: "."
“How many days has it been since?”
Tian Feng hurriedly replied: "Two days! We'll be here for two days! Because we didn't dare to alert County Magistrate Xie, we didn't even invite the doctor."
"That's great!" Jiang Ning complained. After learning about Huang Zhengyang's injury, he casually asked: "Where is Mr. Xu? Where has he gone?"
Tian Feng's face turned pale, "It was quite chaotic at that time. Mr. Xu insisted on taking people into the mountain to continue the investigation. My uncle led people to run in the opposite direction to distract the bandits. I don't know how Mr. Xu is doing now, but Han My uncle has already gone to inquire after he found out."
Jiang Ning's mood became darker and heavier the more she heard about it. She really didn't dare to go to the doctor in this situation, so she could only bring her backpack and go to the village doctor to ask about some commonly used herbal combinations, and went into the mountains to find them.
At this time, she had to thank the system again. Although it was a God of Cooking system, it had the function of identifying ingredients. All medicinal materials were edible. The system would give detailed encyclopedias when she encountered them. It took her half a day to find out the herbs mentioned by Tu Langzhong. Find them all.
In the next few days, even though there was a time bomb at home, she had to pretend that nothing was wrong and continue working, so that no one would notice anything strange.
It happened that Pan Xiuniang came to pull the adobe, so Jiang Ning had to ask Yang Erdan to follow Pan Xiuniang to Songxi Town.
The mess at home is all on her.
