Chapter 353 New Home
Zhou Shuren sighed in his heart, the emperor is really good at calculating, even if his essays are not ranked second in the imperial examination, the emperor will mention him according to his situation and value. The emperor really counts people. That's right, this time it's not Zhulan who feels sorry for the princes, but he also feels sorry for them.
Zhou Shuren brought Wu Chun back to the team, and Wu Chun went to meet the Yang family, Zhou Shuren said to Zhulan who was sitting in the carriage: "At first, I wanted to go to the city to inform Wu Chun to pick you up to the house you bought, but now that Wu Chun is here, you Go back to the house with Wu Chun first, and I'm going to the Yamen with the officials and food to hand over, and I think I'll be back in the evening."
Zhulan let out a long sigh and finally arrived, "Okay, you are busy with your work, I will arrange everything at home, you don't have to worry about us."
Zhou Shuren smiled: "With you here, I have nothing to worry about."
He signaled Zhulan to take out his account books and official documents, and he handed over the things to the officer behind him, got into another carriage and went into the city first.
There is no need for Zhulan to leave guards here, Wu Chunlai brought a lot of guards.
When Wu Chun saw that his grandparents were in good health, and saw his mother, wife and children, Wu Chun's eyes were red, but the outside was not a place to talk. Knowing that his father and second uncle had helped his uncle harvest grain, he felt sorry for his uncle's difficulty.
Wu Chun calmed down for a while before seeing his aunt, "You have worked hard all the way."
Wu Chun sighed, no wonder my mother always said that my aunt is the most blessed, but she is not blessed, and now she is ordered to join her body.
Zhu Lan said: "It's great that you came here, we don't have to wait in the city anymore, your uncle entrusted you to buy the house to take us there."
When Wu Chun thought of his uncle's request, at least three large houses should have wells and gardens, preferably as big as the Zheng family's house in Lijia Village. He really put in a lot of effort to find it. Thousand taels of silver.
Wu Chundao, "Gu, I will lead the way, you follow."
Zhulan said: "Okay."
Even without the food escort team, the team is still not small, the Zhou family and the Yang family have a lot of households, not to mention they have bought a lot of grain seeds and food.
The convoy was on its way, and the convoy was going to the west city. Many people came back from Lizhou city one after another, and there were more people in the city.
Zhulan opened the curtain of the car and kept looking outside. There were also many beggars on the streets of Lizhou City, and not many shops were open. Looking at the houses in the city, many of them were in disrepair.
It looked pretty dilapidated.
The carriage soon arrived in front of the house that Wu Chun bought for Zhou's family, Zhulan got off the carriage and looked at the gate, she was really magnificent.
Wu Chun helped his grandparents get out of the carriage, and came to his aunt, "Gun, after I bought the house, I only repaired it briefly. If there is anything I don't like, I will change it after I live in it."
Zhulan looked at the house, "It's been well repaired, let's go in."
Wu Chun left someone to watch the house, knocked on the door, and soon the door opened. Wu Chun introduced as he walked: "The houses in Lizhou City are different from those in the capital city. The houses are divided into small courtyards. The entrance is a long corridor, and the two sides It is an independent courtyard gate. This house occupies a large area, and there is a garden requested by my uncle. There are six yards for the masters in the house, and two yards for servants and horses. Originally, I wanted to buy a bigger one. Some of the houses are just not for sale, although Lizhou City is still in depression, the houses of people with vision are still kept."
Zhulan had expected it, and they had already entered the corridor, "This house is so good, why sell it?"
Wu Chundao: "The owner of this house has only one daughter, and the son-in-law was cheated and lost a lot of money. There is no way to sell this house. With the money from selling the house, the whole family has already gone to the south of the Yangtze River."
Zhulan wanted to bet that it was really harmful, "How much money did this kid spend?"
"This house is more expensive than when I bought it. In addition to the fact that it occupies a large area, it cost 600 taels. The house is too big and repairs cost 150 taels. It also cost about 100 taels to buy new furniture and housekeeping. One thousand taels."
Zhulan followed Wu Chun through the long corridor and turned to the courtyard gate on the east. Wu Chun introduced: "This is the courtyard where the head of the family lives. The courtyard is a small secondary courtyard. There is a door on the side of the back house that leads to the garden. , the main entrance of the garden is inside the corridor just now."
Zhulan asked, "I remember you bought Sanjin's yard."
Wu Chun smiled and said: "The original owner of the house I bought was from the capital, and the house was built according to the layout of the capital, so it is a three-entry house. There are also many buildings in the capital in Lizhou City, but none can meet my uncle's requirements. .”
The talking room has reached the main room of the main house. The room is dominated by Kang, and the space in the room is not small.
Zhulan went to see a few smaller courtyards. The small courtyards were not as big as the main courtyard, and there were not as many houses as the main courtyard, but it was good to have an independent courtyard.
Zhulan did the math, there are quite a lot of rooms in the whole house, Zhulan is very satisfied, the money is worth it.
Zhulan and Wuchun came back after a long circle, which was really tiring. When the two returned to the main courtyard, the Zhou family's luggage and food had already been unloaded into the carriage. When they returned to Lizhou City, Zhulan's family bought a carriage again. Now the Zhou family has a total of five carriages.
Wu Chun stayed behind to look after the house and took Boss Zhou to familiarize himself with the yard, and Zhulan didn't have to worry about getting the grain into the grain room.
Zhulan returned to the main courtyard, took out one thousand taels of silver and handed it to Wu Chun, "This is the money you spent."
Wu Chun took it, and he borrowed the money, "Gun, then I'll take my luggage back to the house first, and I'll come back after I've made arrangements."
Zhulan said: "Okay, let's all stay with me for a rest today, and I will personally send your grandma there tomorrow."
Wu Chun smiled, "Hey, aunt, let's cook something delicious tonight."
Zhulan smiled, "Success, make something delicious this evening."
After Wu Chun left, Zhulan sent his parents and sister-in-law to rest in a separate yard. Wu Chun's careful children piled up a lot of firewood in each yard. Knowing the news in advance, all the yards were on fire, and the kang was hot. .
Zhulan said to her parents: "Father and mother, you should rest first."
Yang Dayong finally arrived in Lizhou City, and he felt very at ease, "Go and do your work, your mother and I don't need to worry about rest, we'll rest later, and we can go shopping by ourselves."
Zhulan smiled, "Okay."
Zhulan arranged for her natal family to rest, declined the help of her sisters-in-law, and returned to the main courtyard.
Xuehan had already brought back from the main courtyard, "Mom, I have counted all the luggage that our family brought back, and everything that was not lost is here."
Zhulan smiled, "My daughter is really good, she helped mother a lot."
Xuehan was a little excited, she could also help her mother, "Mother, what else do you have to tell me?"
