The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 395 Settlement
Just looking at the courtyard inside from the open gate at this moment, he felt that he couldn't afford to rent it.

Looking in from the outside, you can still see the screen wall, there are quite a few houses inside, and the courtyard in the middle is also very large.

"Oh! The house bought by the Gu family is not small! It's worth a lot of money, right?" Ye Mu was very envious of the house. The Sun family has only a few people, and living in such a big house is a bit wasteful.

There are a lot of expenses in the capital, and in her opinion, it is still necessary to save money.However, the pickle business is doing well, and the daughter-in-law also has a lot of dowry, so this house may be the dowry brought by the Gu family.

In her heart, no matter how good the Ye family's pickle business is, they cannot afford such a house.

For the Sun family to find such a rich and powerful in-law as the Gu family, it must have been a high incense in their previous life.

On the day of Gu Wan's marriage, who would not envy the dowry full of 48?If you marry a girl, you can give so much dowry, so why not marry a daughter-in-law more?

She glanced at Ye Zhiqiu, her son was also growing well, and he was making progress in his studies, but it was a pity that the Gu family didn't like her son.

When Ye Zhiqiu heard this, he quickly gave Ye Mu a hand, "Don't talk nonsense, the Sun family bought it by themselves, and the Sun family has saved a lot of savings in the past two years."

He heard from Gu Chengyu that he helped buy the house, and Sun Xian paid for the money himself.His mother misunderstood the dowry of the Sun family's daughter-in-law. You can't say this. If the Sun family hears about it, they might turn their faces.

Mother Ye was told by her son, and then she said, "I misunderstood."

But he thought in his heart that the Sun family is the in-laws of the Gu family after all, and the Gu family Wulang thought of a way to earn money.

Her family still relies on her and her daughter's embroidery to earn money. Fortunately, I heard that Gu Wan will open an embroidery workshop when she arrives in the capital. Otherwise, she may not be able to give a fair price even if she picks up jobs from other embroidery workshops in the capital.

"Xiaobao! Why don't you ask the Ye family to come down and have a cup of tea! Wouldn't it be good to hang people in the carriage?" Gu Wan watched the things being moved into the house, and then remembered that the Ye family was still in the carriage.

"Look, your house hasn't been tidied up yet, where is there a place to sit? We're leaving now, you tidy up at home first, I've already tidied up my place, and you can move in with your luggage. Let the Ye family stay in my house first." Settled down in your house, you pack it up, and invite someone to visit you in two days."

Gu Chengyu looked at the messy house and felt that there was no place to set foot.I'm afraid it's inappropriate to just invite people in like this.

Sun Xian also felt that this appearance was inappropriate, and he planned to accompany Gu Chengyu to punish Ye Zhiqiu first, and wait a few days before inviting someone to come to the door.

After the two finished talking, they left the house.Gu Chengyu had already transferred people of the T-generation to his house, and when he happened to go back, he called someone to help Gu Wan's family clean up.

"Junior Brother Ye! I'm really sorry, the house is in chaos today. Junior Brother Ye and Chengyu will go to his house to settle down first. I'll tidy up here, and then I will invite Junior Brother Ye, aunt, and sister Ye to taste the handicrafts of my mother and Zhuo Jing. .”

Sun Xian looked at Ye Zhiqiu and said apologetically.

"What did Senior Brother Sun say? I just came here today, and the house must be cleaned up. Let's talk about it another day. I'm just waiting to try my aunt and the others' crafts."

Of course Ye Zhiqiu didn't think it was neglect, after all the house was a mess, how could he bother?
Gu Chengyu dismissed the drivers of the carriages and led Ye Zhiqiu's family to his house.

Gu Chengyu looked at the scenery along the way and wrote down the route he walked.About two quarters of an hour later, Gu Chengyu and the others arrived at the gate of the Sanjin courtyard.

In fact, it is not far from the Sun family, but only in relative terms.It still takes two quarters of an hour to take a carriage, which is not too far in ancient times, and it is considered close!In the past, in Shangling Village, it took a quarter of an hour to ride a carriage to the town!This is not far away.

Shangling Village is relatively close to the town. For other remote villages, it takes about an hour or two to go to a town.

Gu Chengyu looked at the three-entry house. At this time, the gate had already been opened, and all the servants in the house bowed their heads and stood at the door, lined up neatly.

Gu Wanqian was the first to jump off the carriage, and shouted to the servants: "Our master is back!"

In addition to the servants of the T-generation, the house also bought a few women, some of whom worked in the big kitchen, and some of them cleaned the courtyard.The concierge was a man in his thirties. These were servants that Gu Wanqian bought in the capital after Gu Chengyu returned to his hometown.

Gu Chengyu got out of the carriage, took a look at the servants who were neatly arranged, and found that there were new faces in the house, which should have been chosen by Gu Wanqian, of course, it was also originally ordered by him.

All the servants hurriedly saluted and said hello in unison.Those who have never seen Gu Chengyu himself have seen his portrait, so as not to admit the wrong master.

Gu Chengyu nodded, and glanced at Sanjin's house in front of him.The house is very big, and the inside is divided into front and back yards, and the rest can only be known after entering.However, in Sanjin's courtyard, verandas and gardens are indispensable, and there are also a lot of rooms. It is really big for him to live alone.

Mother Ye and Second Sister Ye were stunned looking at the house in front of them. The Sun's house they saw just now was incomparable to the house in front of them.Although I haven't gone in to see it, the house is very big at first glance.Even if you live in several rooms, you won't feel crowded.

"Senior Brother Ye, Auntie and Second Sister Ye, come in and have a look!" Gu Chengyu called Ye's family because it was discussed before.

Ye Zhiqiu just came to the capital, and he must not be able to find a suitable yard to rent for the time being, so he will temporarily live in his house for a few days.

The Ye family is different from the Sun family. The Sun family is in-laws, so he can buy the house. If the Ye family wants to rent a yard, it is better for Ye Zhiqiu to take a fancy to it.

While the few people were talking, a woman respectfully led Gu Chengyu and the others in.As for the carriage, of course Yu Tanzi and Gu Wanqian would take care of it and send the coachman away.

The house is said to be a three-entry house, but it is very large, and it is no worse than the general four-entry house.Walking through the front yard, to the first two entrances, except for the last main house, the rest are divided into four small courtyards and several scattered rooms.This was designed by the original master's family. It may be that there are many children in the family, so they separated and made a separate yard.

There are also gardens, rockeries, and ponds in the house, all of which are not lacking.The pond is connected to the lake outside. This is not a pool of stagnant water, but a source of flowing water.

Gu Chengyu was very satisfied with this house, but he was a little regretful that his parents refused to go to Beijing together.He is the only master in such a big house, and the other houses are left covered with dust.

"This house is really big!" Ye Zhiqiu and the others followed Gu Chengyu to the second entrance and didn't go inside.It is the place where the main family's female relatives live. Although there are no female relatives yet, as visitors, most of them live in the second entrance.

"My lord, this old slave has finally met you." Mama Liang was at the door just now, but there were so many people that it was hard to go up to see her alone.

"It turned out to be Mama Liang, who has been gone for quite some time." Gu Chengyu had seen Mama Liang a long time ago, and he was the one who transferred her to the capital to manage the inner house.
