Chapter 276 is really embarrassing
There is also her shop here, which is her painstaking effort. If she really wants to leave, she has to think carefully.
Because if you want to go, then everything has to go.
However, after all, if the husband wants to hang out in the capital, he can't do without a house, and it's not unreasonable to live in his son's house. He still needs to have a home of his own.
The son's house belongs to the son, and they don't want to grab it when they are parents.
I just set up a running banquet for my son, and now I want to do it for my husband, so she can't wait to do it every day.
Chuan'er didn't go to the Juren examination this year because of the situation. Seeing how beautiful his father and brother are, he was really jealous.
Nothing tastes good to eat. After finishing my husband's class, I went back to watch the class.
In mid-June, Yuan Jiaqi handed over to the new county magistrate, arranged the workshop, and went to Beijing to take up his post at the end of June.
But Qiao Mai, Chuaner, the old man, the old lady, and Linger stayed at home. She wanted to watch the shop and house, so she automatically asked to stay home.
Going to Beijing this time is not only for settling down, but also for marriage with the Zhen Guogong.
Now that Yuan Jiaqi is a first-rank member of the imperial court, it is reasonable to talk about marriage with the Duke of Zhenguo.
Now everyone in the capital knows about this, and they all know that this first-rank member of the Yuan family is actually a son-in-law, and they are talking about it.
It doesn’t matter to the Duke of Zhen Guo, what does it matter if the father-in-law is the son-in-law, he is young and promising, and he would like to have a few more daughters, so that he can marry his daughter.
Within a year, I got my mouth full.
Such in-laws, it would be better if there are more in-laws, because if you want to eat delicious food, you can eat it right away.
Thinking of this, Lord Zhen swallowed.
Mrs. Duke doesn't think so, she feels very shameful, how can a man who is so good come in the door?
Shame, it is too shameful!
She deliberately tried her best to break up the marriage, but when she thought about her daughter, she hesitated.
Guo Gongfu dare not gamble!
She was afraid that if her daughter really did that, she would regret it for the rest of her life.
Qiao Mai and the others lived in Bichun Garden when they arrived in the capital after a ten-day long journey.
Although the emperor gave the two brothers a house, after all, it was given just now. The two brothers did not live separately, but lived in Feng'er's house.
The old lady's Bichun Garden is well-maintained everywhere, and there are servants waiting for it, which is more convenient.
This time, the old lady is not at ease, and wants to follow along and handle Feng'er's affairs. After all, she is from the capital, and she knows all customs.
When Chuaner came, the old man was also concerned about his studies, so he naturally came with him.
After only one day off, the Yuan family went to the palace to thank En for taking office. The old lady was tired from the journey and wanted to rest, and the old man wanted to teach Chuan'er to read. Only Qiao Mai was idle.
Since she came with her, she naturally didn't plan to be idle, so let's talk about setting up a home of her own in the capital first.
So I had nothing to do during the day, so I strolled to the dental shop alone.
"Are there any good houses in the capital now?"
"Yes, yes, Madam, can you tell me what kind of house you want?"
"Bring over the best house album you have here."
"Ai, Ai"
The manager saw that the other hair accessories on this lady's head were actually the most popular diamond accessories in Beijing, and he was very happy, knowing that he had met a big customer.
Trotted to the back and fetched the album.
This is a very delicate atlas, and only such an atlas can clearly show the value of the house.
"Madam, please see that we currently have two houses in the capital, both worth more than five hundred thousand taels. Both houses are on this album."
"Um"
Qiao Mai stretched out her jade hand and flipped through the album, while the steward explained it to her.
"This house is a house with five entrances and five exits. There is a large garden at the back, covering an area of 100 mu. It is located in the south of the city. It is a wealthy area. The location is also suitable. It is neither noisy nor quiet. Go to the bustling commercial street, and you will be there in a while."
"Well, how much is this set?"
"No more, no less, five hundred thousand taels of silver,"
"How much silver is the other set?"
"Eight, eight hundred thousand taels of silver."
"Hehe, shouldn't good ones come first?"
"We hope that customers can look at the similar ones first, so as to have a comparison, otherwise we don't know where the 300,000 silver cars that were sent out are."
"Well, tell me, where did the three hundred thousand taels of silver go?"
"My dear lady, although the two houses have the same area, there are too many differences in the materials used in the houses and the scenery of the garden. Look here, here, here"
Listening to the steward's explanation, Qiao Mai nodded, "Is this the most expensive house in the capital?"
"It doesn't count, but it's about the same. The most expensive house belongs to the royal family. I heard that it cost more than one million taels to build."
"Then show me both houses?"
"Okay, but we have to sit in a carriage to see it, otherwise we won't be able to finish it in a day. You can get off the car to see the special places."
Qiao Mai nodded in agreement, and the steward hurriedly arranged a carriage to take the distinguished guest to the house to watch.
As usual, she first looked at the first set of houses worth five hundred thousand taels of silver. Qiao Mai didn't snort, and then looked at the second set. After finishing watching, she pointed to the house.
"That's all. I need to modify the house in the later stage. Do you have people?"
"on call"
"Let's go through the formalities"
"Aren't you going to make a counter-offer?"
"Is my mother the kind of master who lacks money?"
"Ai, ai" these words are so domineering, it almost drove the steward crazy.
When going through the formalities at the government office, the stewards would just tell them the handling fee and they would cover it. Qiao Mai smiled and said nothing.
Directly let them put the house under her own name, she is not hypocritical, her own money is her own money, the husband is married, and his is her own.
She, Qiao Mai, is not that stupid, nor is she that great. She writes her money and belongings under the name of her father-in-law.
After getting the house with the red deed, he immediately signed the revised document for the dental bank.
After she went back, she handed over the modified drawings to the dentist in three days, and provided special materials, PVC pipes, and steel pipes.
She first asked the workers to fill all the wells in the house, then relocated them, and taught them to use new pipes to pressurize the wells.
This kind of well is also built here, but the cost is too expensive, and most people can't afford it.
Her pipes, she taught them, so the price is naturally much lower.
This is not important, what is important is that she let these bumpkins see high technology.
Oops, my mother, everyone's eyes are widened several times, and their eyes are straight. How can there be such an operation?
Not to mention this, there is something even more surprising to the workers, that is, to build a small house in each yard, with dry and wet separation inside.
The inside is for bathing, the outside is a toilet, and there is a large mirror mounted on the wall.
God, what kind of family is this, so awesome?
That's all, what's the matter with the floor, what's the matter with the mud under the floor, and what's the matter with the plastered and pasted on the wall?
Many workers were caught in the dark, and Qiao Mai knew why, but he didn't tell what the materials were.
House by room, I taught them how to stick the walls, how to fill the bricks around the bathtub, and how to smooth them out. That’s serious.
Jixiangyuan does not have these, mainly because it is in the south, and the baths are used too often. By the way, there is another key point that is the shower.
In order to realize the liberalization of bathing, she deliberately ordered several drying barrels with the master craftsmen in the world of cultivating immortals.
It looks like a bucket, but it is actually a bucket, but it is a very magical bucket. As long as water flows into it, it will become 45 degrees hot.
If the idle temperature is low, there is a button to automatically adjust the water temperature.
She only taught these workers how to decorate two houses, and they learned all of them!
