Chapter 118 I bought someone
Wen Youshan explained them one by one with a good temper, and took the initiative to introduce the scenery along the way to the children.
Chen Ningya listened silently, the corners of her mouth raised unconsciously.
There were two more curious girls, and the journey didn’t seem to be so difficult. During the leisurely conversation, the donkey cart arrived in Qing’an County.
The two children were excited again when they saw the high city wall, and they didn't care to talk to Wen Youshan, their heads turned around, especially when they saw such a lively long street, they didn't dare to say a word, and their little faces became sore. Red.
Wen Youshan first took them to the inn opposite He's House, and sold the mountain goods sent by the Sun family before taking them to the school in the south of the city.
It was just past noon, and the children were resting in the school building.
Wen Youshan quietly went in and called out his three sons.
Chen Ningya and the others were waiting outside. During the waiting time, Wen Yuanjing stared at everything in the school enviously. It would be great if she were a man, and she could go in and study with her brother and brother.
Wen Yuanzhen looked at the surrounding environment in awe, and did not dare to speak loudly in such a place.
Only Chen Ningya looked as usual, seeing the father and son with a bright smile on her face.
Wen Yuanxing rushed out like a cannonball, plunged into Chen Ningya's arms, muttered coquettishly: "Mother, mother, you didn't come to see me, I miss you!"
Chen Ningya put her arms around her younger son, her eyes fell on the two eldest sons, and she asked with a smile, "Would you like to say something to Mr. before leaving?"
Wen Yuanliang withdrew his envious gaze and nodded in a proper manner: "Sir is also resting right now, I'll go and tell the steward."
After Wen Yuanliang said hello, the family continued to set off. From the school to Wen Shichu, the alleys were all quiet and quiet. Occasionally, pedestrians were dressed in decent clothes.
Chen Ningya whispered with satisfaction: "The environment here is really good."
There are no messy and airy local gangsters, and it is safe to go out.
Wen Youshan knew her deep meaning, and said proudly: "Brother Feng said, there are many high-profile and small officials in the county government who live in this area, especially those who are dragging their families and bringing their mouths. Come here, in case you encounter a catcher while walking, wouldn't it be a mouse meeting a cat, and there's nowhere to hide."
There are alleys all around, and there is really no place to hide.
Everyone was amused by the picture described by Wen Youshan, and stopped outside Wen Shichu all the way to talk and laugh.
When the two little girls saw the deep courtyard, their eyes instantly widened. If their father and brother hadn't urged them to get off the donkey cart, it would have been even more amazing when they entered the courtyard.
Strolling from the first to the third, Wen Yuanjing only felt that his short legs were about to soften.
The family was resting in the courtyard of the third yard, Wen Yuanzhen stammered, "Father and mother, you spent a lot of money on this house!"
She is now nine years old, and she is no longer that little girl who doesn't understand anything.
Wen Youshan didn't hide it from the children, and said slowly, "It cost 30 taels to buy the land, and 150 taels to build the yard, a total of 180 taels."
"Hi!" Wen Yuanzhen gasped, "It's so expensive!"
With so much money, you can build several big houses in the countryside, and you can buy a lot of land even if you don’t build big houses.
Seeing Wen Yuanzhen's reaction, Wen Yuanliang said in a low voice, "Big sister, the price is actually quite good. If you buy a ready-made house like this in the south of the city, you won't be able to get it for two hundred taels. Dad spent one hundred and eighty taels, which is already cheap. Now, and the material workers are all found by Uncle Feng, you can trust it, it will not be a problem to live in such a house for a hundred years."
Wen Yuanzhen was silent for a moment, looked at the yard again, and said to Chen Ningya, "Mother, there is nothing here, we have a lot of things to buy."
Chen Ningya looked at Wen Yuanliang hesitantly, "Your father said that he wants to buy people, I mean to buy a servant for the three of you brothers, and some people will run errands in the future, so we don't buy more, just one cook and one in charge. The porter who picks up and guards the door, a servant, plus a steward, how about it?"
Chen Ningya has already considered it according to the most streamlined number of people, but Wen Yuanliang is still a little hesitant, "Mother, we can use the servant."
One more person means one more mouth to feed, and if you can save, you can save.
Wen Youshan shook his head, "Just listen to your mother, we can rest assured that there is a servant, even if there is anything, we can run errands or something."
Wen Yuanliang did not expect that his father, who was most likely to agree, would be the first to object, and was instantly speechless.
Chen Ningya said with a smile: "Actually, I still want to buy another woman and a maid to bring back to the village, but I'm afraid that it will cause unnecessary trouble, so I think about it, let's forget it. Anyway, the family is busy for the time being. If it doesn’t work, consider buying someone else.”
Wen Yuanzhen let out a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Mom and dad, let's buy people quickly, and go back after finishing the house."
It's like he's afraid that his mother will buy one more person later.
Chen Ningya laughed dumbly, but went out according to her daughter's wishes.
Wen Yuanliang and the others had to rush back to the school to study. Wen Youshan sent the three boys to the entrance of the school before taking his wife and daughter to the children.
When arrived at the place, the two little girls unconsciously hugged Chen Ningya, especially when they saw the little girls who were beaten and scolded, Wen Yuanzhen's face turned pale with fright, and Wen Yuanjing was also trembling and almost cried.
Chen Ningya patted their hands soothingly, and entered the main room under the reception of Renyazi. She told Renya what she meant, and soon several people with ragged clothes and yellow skin and thin skin were brought into the room. There are big and small, and most of the women are in their thirties and forties.
Despite the hype of the people under her hands, Chen Ningya was still unmoved, carefully looked at the people in front of her, and asked many questions. Finally, she chose a family of four, a husband and wife and their pair of children. , plus a twenty-year-old youth.
The price of three adults is more expensive, and the price of two teenage children is less expensive. It cost a total of forty-five taels before and after, which is another large sum.
Renyanzi also wanted to recommend two fifteen or sixteen year old girls to Wen Youshan, but Wen Yuanzhen glared at her, and she didn't dare to say a word.
After leaving this alley, Wen Yuanzhen was still a little upset, and yelled loudly: "What the hell, if I wasn't too young, I really wanted to give that **** a few slaps in the face, shameless things!"
Wen Youshan was the first time he saw the savage side of the eldest daughter, and was so shocked that he was speechless.
Chen Ningya patted her daughter's head reassuringly, and persuaded: "What are you mad at with that kind of person? Few of them are not heartless."
