Chapter 294

Fortunately, to Zhuang Shu's delight, after her husband came back in the evening, her elder sister succeeded in persuading her stubborn husband. Finally, Xianggong agreed to borrow her dowry silver and aunt's silver to buy the house first, and then pay it back slowly.

It's settled. In the evening, Yulian takes taoliang with her two leisurely children. In addition, Xing Ge'er and Qing jie'er, four or five children gather together and chatter, which is very lively. Lin's mother is not too noisy. She hugs this and that with a smile. She just feels happy.

When Shen Ze was on duty, he came here. The family had a big dinner happily to celebrate that Enron finally had a job. If it were not for the period of national filial piety, people would have to drink a lot.

After a few days, leisurely let people send the booklet over. Zhuang Shufeng and Lin Mu and An'an read it, and then chose three sets of outstanding ones. The whole family went to see the actual situation, and finally chose a three in house. Leisurely also followed the past. He was satisfied that the house was not too long in the north and south, but it was better in the East and West. In addition to the main courtyard, there were five or six small yards and many rooms. Even the grandchildren of Enron could live in it. The original master returned home because he was an official. The main reason was that his descendants had nothing to do. It was not easy to live in the capital, so he planned to sell the house back to his hometown. Because there are people living all the time, the house looks lively.

Moreover, the most important thing is that this house is only one street away from the one Youran bought two years ago, which is even closer than the present one. Enron also wanted to live closer to her sister's house, so she finally decided on this one.

Although the house is not small, it is still three in the yard according to the regulations, so it only cost 7000 Liang to buy it. Of course, the old master also wanted to make friends with Enron, a new nobleman in the imperial court, so he gave him some money.

After the house was settled, leisurely people sent 20000 taels of silver to Lin Mu. Later, Zhuang Shu came to return half of the money in person. Leisurely said with a smile, "although the house has been bought, there are still many places to spend money. Just keep it."

Chuang Shu said, "no, Chuang Tzu just sent the harvest in autumn. With the harvest of the prime minister in mid autumn, he can support it now. Give the ten thousand Liang back to my sister first. Isn't my sister going to clean up the house? Don't delay my sister. "

Leisurely said with a smile, "the money used to renovate the house is all money from the public. How can I use my private house? If you don't, I'll put it away first. " It seems that my younger brother, the Deputy envoy of the Department of General Administration, should be very rich. Leisurely doesn't think there's anything wrong with his younger brother's receiving gifts. This is the general trend of the world. Every year's three festivals and two birthdays, Bingjing and Tanjing are all good opportunities for the imperial court to default that officials receive extra money. As long as it doesn't go too far, it will be OK. Sometimes it's too incorruptible to be an official in the yamen, but it's not easy to do things.

Zhuang Shu always thought that the silver belonged to her elder sister's family, but unexpectedly it was leisurely private house. She has seen the dowry list of her elder sister in the Lin family. I'm afraid it's only about twenty thousand taels in total. It's only a few years. My aunt has twenty thousand taels of cash? I haven't seen her sell any Chuang Tzu shops. On the contrary, the dowry industry is growing.

Think of here, Zhuang Shu can't help smacking tongue way "elder sister is really rich."

Leisurely, seeing that she was just pure appreciation without the slightest jealousy, she said with a smile, "in fact, I don't know much about business management, but I'm just lucky. By the way, how is your silk shop these days? "

Zhuang Shu replied with a smile, "it's OK. It's sold well in mid autumn, and the profit is four or five times that of ordinary days. It's almost the end of the year, and business is still booming. "

They were talking about how to repair the house, what kind of flowers and trees to plant, and so on. When they saw a servant girl come in and say, "if you go back to grandma, there is a Juren who claims to be the Xu family in Jinzhou. He said that he is the cousin of my uncle and has sent a post to visit."

Jinzhou Xu family? Leisurely think for a long time to remember that this is not Shen Ze's grandmother is not surnamed Xu? Is it his family? After getting married, leisurely only knew her grandmother's surname was Xu, but she never saw any contact between the two families. She was not even close to Xi's uncle. Why did this meeting suddenly come to me? Thinking of this, leisurely asked "he came alone, or together with his wife?" The servant girl returns a way "is to bring the female dependents to come over." Anyway, please come in and see what it is.

Leisurely pondered, "those who come are guests. Please come in first. The women's family members will take them directly to the front flower hall and go to the shop to call Mr. Jiang back to treat the guests. I'll go to the Yamen to see if I can ask you to come back earlier. "

At this time, in the carriage outside the Shen family, there was a woman in her fifties, a young woman in her early twenties and a girl of sixteen or seventeen. When she entered the capital, she saw many magnificent buildings along the way. At first sight, she felt disappointed at the entrance of the Shen family. She couldn't help murmuring, "mother, don't you say that Shen's cousin is a senior official of zhengsanpin? How I look at this house is not so good

The old woman scolded, "what do you know? It's here, huqin! How expensive is the land price in the capital? For the money of this house, we can buy two sets of five in the compound. I've told you so many times. Don't talk nonsense if you don't know. " The girl smacked her tongue and dared not speak.

One side of the young woman bowed her head and said nothing. Her mother-in-law was always so philistine. She opened her mouth and closed her mouth to money. She didn't know what kind of luck she had taken at the beginning, but she was able to marry to the Xu family. Although the Xu family has been declining these years, it was one of the largest families in Jinzhou 20 or 30 years ago.

Young women just feel that life is like a year. It's been a while since the post was handed in. Why hasn't a reply been received? Maybe people don't want to recognize their relatives. Think about it. She has been in the door for more than two years. She never knew that she had such a relative, not to mention that she didn't walk around every Spring Festival. Now such a rash door-to-door trade, I'm afraid people are not willing to take care of it.

Just as she was daydreaming, a man in charge came out of the gate and welcomed her husband in with a smile. Then several women came, and the first one in silk and satin and two or three gold hairpins came to invite each other with a smile.

It was Shen Ze's cousin Xu Bai, her daughter-in-law an and her daughter yinlian.

Although the other party's intention is not clear, but somehow came all the way, and there is an elder, so leisurely will welcome to the second door. But Zhuang Shu took the opportunity to leave, "sister, since there are guests here, I won't bother here. It's time to go back to feed Qing'er."

Leisurely said, "that's OK. Come back to talk when you have time." Zhuang Shu didn't like to see strangers, so she left through the corner gate.
