The village chief's wife couldn't help but take a breath of air and looked at Xu Nuoyan in astonishment. It took her a long time to come back to her senses and said, "I didn't expect this child to have such good fortune! It seems we don't need to worry about it!"
She couldn't help but feel lucky that some words were left unsaid.
Madam Zhou still thanked her sincerely and said: "Nuoshan is going to Quzhou Academy to study. Yanyan bought a piece of land in Fucheng and built a courtyard. After she married the second son of Guang Enbo, she also wanted to go to Fucheng to live, so I plan to Sold the house here and moved the household registration to Fucheng. "
Xu Nuoshan muttered: "The village chief reminded me just now that my father's grave will also be moved away, but there is no rush. We can discuss it later."
"So fast! Where did you get the money?" the village chief blurted out subconsciously, and hurriedly explained: "What I mean is that studying in Nuoshan costs a lot of money. You should use your money sparingly. The land in the provincial capital is not cheap. Plus, it costs a lot of money to study in Nuoshan." Building a house is another big expense!”
Mrs. Zhou looked at Xu Nuoyan lovingly, "Yanyan works in Zhenbao Pavilion. The hairpins she makes are beautiful and can be sold at high prices. The shopkeeper also gives her a lot of money. If she saves some money and adds it together, it will be enough!"
After Nuoshan was admitted as a scholar, the government gave him a little money every month. In addition, he copied books for others, so he could save a little. The money left by the father of the child was enough. "
When the village chief saw that Madam Zhou had arranged everything in an orderly manner, except for the members of the Xu family, he couldn't help but sigh, but said nothing more, "Now that I'm looking back, I'll ask who wants to buy a house. You should leave after the New Year!”
Mrs. Zhou nodded.
After the village chief and his wife left the Xu family, they sighed all the way.
The village chief's wife looked pityful, "If I had known that Nuoshan could be admitted as a scholar, I would have said marriage to his mother earlier. But now I have missed a good nephew-in-law."
The village chief sneered twice, "Everyone thinks so! No one has the guts to gamble, there's nothing to say! What I'm worried about is the people from the Xu family. They have been coming to our village a while ago, and they are sending this and... Many people in the village have taken advantage of the Xu clan to give it away. If this thing doesn't work, what if the Xu clan comes to make trouble? "
The village chief's wife didn't take it seriously, "They can handle their own affairs by themselves. If it doesn't work, go to the county magistrate for comment. It's none of your business! You are the village chief and you can't stop people from being greedy!"
The village chief was helpless and silent.
Two days after the Xu family's mother and son came back, they learned from the villagers that the Xu family had come to find them.
Mrs. Zhou sneered, and she was afraid that those people would come and cause trouble, so she simply left her home and went to Songxi Town with her luggage and rented a small yard.
The Xu family members received the news and came to stop them, but they failed and actually got into trouble with the villagers in the fishing village.
The villagers in the fishing village had done their best by accepting their benefits and informing them of the news. When they saw that the other party was cheating on them, they immediately united and beat the troublemakers out.
After the incident broke out, even the county magistrate was alarmed.
The Xu clan members accused the villagers of the fishing village of being arrogant and cheating money. The villagers of the fishing village said that the Xu clan members were shameless and plotted against Xu Xiucai.
Both sides insisted on their own opinions, and in the end Xie Yucheng each played 30 big shots. No one benefited, but the Xu clan lost their reputation, lost their wives and lost troops.
Yang Erdan only frowned slightly when he received the news. He didn't take it to heart at all. He turned to discuss with Jiang Ning: "Auntie, you are now the Emperor's canonized Uncle Guang En. Do we need to buy some servants for our family? "
Yang Datou and his wife looked at each other, a little surprised. They really hadn't thought about this problem. Jiang Ning also looked strange, "Why did you suddenly mention this issue?"
As a time traveler, she is really not used to being served by others.
Yang Erdan explained the situation in Dongli Villa in detail, "My son used to do everything by himself, but later he discovered that many things can be done by others he trusts, and I only need to focus on what I want to do. Zhu The butler is as good as ten people. Without him, there would be no Youran Inn today.
There are also Zhu San and others, each of them has their own role. I think Grandma has a lot to do. Our family can buy some servants to run errands for Grandma, help her deliver news, etc. With those people, Grandma can have a lot of things. More energy to do other things. "
Yang Datou felt the same and immediately expressed his support.
Not to mention Liu Ye, she usually has no opinion on matters at home and Jiang Ning makes the final decision.
Yang Santie even took out a bag of silver and said, "Auntie, when I came back, there were a lot more people coming to the academy to buy paper from me. In the past, I sold a roll and you gave me ten cents. Now, with me, Half and half, this is the money I saved after I came back, it is enough to buy you a few servants, and our family can also buy a carriage. The carriage runs fast and is convenient for going out. "
Yang Sizhuang looked at it and took out the one hundred taels that Yang Santie gave him. "That's all I have! It was given by my third brother, and I will leave it to Aniang to arrange."
Yang Santie's eyes widened for a moment, "You're stupid! I gave it to you for going out with your classmates on weekdays! What did you use it for?"
“But I don’t like going out.” Yang Sizhuang looked innocent.
Jiang Ning was amused and giggled, "Okay! I understand your filial piety. It's not that I don't have money, and it's not your turn to come out yet! But since you mentioned these things, I will ask Miss Xu to come over tomorrow." Come on, I have something to talk to you about."
Yang Erdan agreed and set off to Songxi Town before dawn the next day to pick up the promise.
Xu Nuoyan thought Jiang Ning wanted to discuss getting married with her, so she went out with Yang Erdan without much thought.
As soon as she arrived, Jiang Ning exchanged a few pleasantries and looked at all his daughters-in-law seriously, "While everyone is here today, I have something to discuss with you. Miss Xu is about to come over, so we can listen together. If you have any ideas, feel free to mention them.
Our family now has several businesses. One is the restaurant in Songxi Town, which is run by the eldest and his wife. There is also a yard there. There are workshops in the village for calcining shell ash and throwing adobes. The eldest brother used to be in charge of these. , and now the second child is taking care of Dongli Villa in Fucheng.
I have a business of mushrooms, rice paper, and the third child is currently involved in this business. In addition, I have a title conferred by the emperor, hereditary, a mansion in the capital, a village, and two shops.
Speaking of which, our family's wealth is gradually improving. We may have other ways of making a living in the future. I just want to ask you, how are these assets currently divided? They are all my children, and I don’t want to favor one over the other, nor do I want you brothers to have conflicts over family property in the future. "
Yang Datou and others looked at each other and shook their heads, "Auntie, we don't know how!"
Jiang Ning waved his hand, "I'm sure not now. It won't be easy for you to start a family in the future! That's what I think. Listen to me and tell me if you have any opinions."
Everyone immediately sat upright.
