Qi wang ye, wang fei, she is crazy again

Chapter 191 The princess is floating

The sky was slightly bright, and the people who woke up saw the white snow, and also learned the news that Yanzi Lane was burned. People with good deeds went to see that there was still hot smoke rising from the ruins, and the entire Yanzi Lane was burned. into ashes.

After waking up, Wen Mianmian went directly to the next door, where her brother was talking about the Swallow Alley with a sullen expression, "Let's learn from it, and I still can't lose my kindness in the future. I feel pitiful at first. Just get angry."

"Brother, tell me quickly, what's going on."

Wen Lingxiao took a deep breath, and then spoke eloquently.

The charcoal fires for the winter in Yanzi Lane are also provided by the General’s Mansion. This year, if the supply is cut off, those who want to spend the winter can only find their own way. There are also many people who can support themselves who bought charcoal fires. Some people who have no money can only find it Wood dug a hole in the house and lit a fire to keep warm, and the fire was caused by carelessness.

Wen Mianmian sighed, "I heard that people from Swallow Alley came to me yesterday, was it for the charcoal fire?"

Mrs. Wen shook her head, "I want to ask you to arrange for them to work on the New Year's Day."

Wen Mianmian frowned slightly. There were so many people coming and going every day at the New Year's Festival, so it was necessary to clean, so I invited several hard-working women from Yanzi Lane to come. Sister-in-law Zhu even went out of her way to thank Steward Cheng for this matter.

"I've hired all the hard-working women in Yanzi Lane. Those who haven't been hired are all those who like to take advantage of petty advantages or steal and play tricks."

"Those people push their limits. In my opinion, what I did was right. Since it is broken, it must be clean."

Mrs. Wen has her own worries, she is afraid of affecting the reputation of her husband and son, seeing her embarrassed, Wen Mianmian said: "If mother is concerned about her reputation, she can ask the people below to rent two large courtyards to house them all. , the rent is only given for one year, and it doesn’t matter what happens after one year.”

Wen Lingxiao frowned slightly, feeling that both his mother and younger sister were benevolent women, Wen Mianmian said to him: "Not all the people inside are unreasonable, don't worry, those people are crowded in a big house and can't get out. There will be conflicts within a month, and capable people will move out soon, as long as these people don’t stay together in the future, what can the remaining people do.”

"Once the dog skin plaster is stained, it will be troublesome to remove it."

Mrs. Wen agreed with this very much, "The annual rent of the courtyard is not worth a lot of money, so as to save those people from making irresponsible remarks outside."

Immediately after speaking, she asked Steward Wang to arrange the matter, and Wen Mianmian thought about Yanzixiang again.

In order to prevent the ashes from resurging, the people from the Water Dragon Bureau poured water on the ashes again. The unburned wood is also useful. After the sparks are completely extinguished, they will be collected. It may be used as firewood for the original people in Yanzixiang. It doesn't matter if you sell it, in short, there is no waste.

Wen Mianmian stood on a high place and looked out into the distance, the more he looked at it, the more excited he felt.

It is also considered spacious here, and there is a wide ditch, and because of the demolition of two shops connected to Xingda Street, the location is also convenient, and there is no need to turn around to get there.

She has already fantasized about building an antique street here, the spacious street is paved with wide stone roads, the houses on both sides are carved beams and painted buildings, the lake behind is clear, the two sides are full of flowers and plants, and the winding paths lead to the gazebo, where tourists come here Leisurely shopping, if you are tired, you can go to the riverside to enjoy the scenery and drink tea
It is clean, tidy and beautiful. By the way, a parking lot will be built, and a horse shed will be built on each parking space. People who come in can only take sedan chairs or walk
"Sister! Sister!"

Wen Lingxiao looked suspiciously at the smirking people beside him, wondering what's so good about this dark place?

Wen Mianmian was a little excited when he came back to his senses, "Brother, this place is burned like this, how will we arrange it in the future."

"Arrangement?" Wen Lingxiao pursed his lips, "It's likely to be like this."

Is it possible to build back the houses for those people?

"Brother, if I want this piece of land, how can I get it?" She stretched out her hand and gestured, "This piece, including this stinky ditch."

Wen Lingxiao raised his eyebrows, "This area is not too small, what are you going to do here? The New Year's Day?"

"Just tell me how to get it."

Wen Lingxiao said: "If no one wants this place, it will always be deserted. If someone wants it, I'm afraid it won't be cheap. The city walls of the capital are all the land of the imperial court. It's easy to allocate two or three acres to build a house, but it's difficult to say such a large area. "

Wen Mianmian understood, no one wants this stinky ditch to be a cesspit, but if someone wants it, it is a golden bowl, the truth is the same everywhere.

"Let's go and have a look."

From morning to noon, he dragged her brother to look at the place for a long time, until Wen Lingxiao urged him to leave reluctantly. Wen Lingxiao felt that his sister was probably in a daze, and she could see the flowers in the scorched earth.

Wen Mianmian went back to the mansion and went directly to the study, the more she thought about it, the more excited she became, she really wanted to take that piece of land, but in this way, she would really spend all of the big yellow cow's family fortune .

After lunch, she couldn't hold back her temper and took his grandfather to bring a pen and ink to go again, asking his grandfather to draw the situation of this land.

In the evening, Manager Cheng came back and reported to Wen Mianmian about the New Year's Festival, "The women from Swallow Lane also came today, and the racetrack area was cleaned for them, and their wages were increased by [-] yuan a day."

The wages of seventy renminbi a day are absolutely extremely high, and those women also know that it is the princess of his family who takes care of them, and they are all grateful, and they can't see that they have just been burned and have nothing when they work.

Wen Mianmian nodded, and asked aloud, "How much cash can be circulated in the mansion?"

Cheng Guanshi made a calculation, then cupped his hands and said, "If you are in a hurry, you can get 50 taels within three days. Is the princess in a hurry?"

Wen Mianmian let out a breath slowly, "Cheng Guanshi, I want to buy a piece of land, the one in Yanzi Lane, what do you think?"

Cheng Guanshi almost lost his footing. The princess is drifting away. There are a lot of land enclosures, but who dares to enclose land in the city, not to mention that the scorched land can't grow food, what are you going to do?
Seeing him like that, Wen Mianmian waved his hands, "Forget it, just pretend I didn't ask."

Cheng Guanshi said cautiously: "If the princess has any major decisions, let's wait for the prince to come back, and listen to the prince's intention."

"Got it, go get busy."

In this way, Cheng Guanshi finally felt relieved.

Facts have proved that he doesn't know anything about his concubine. As soon as he walked softly, he ordered Nanny Fang to pass a sign to the palace, saying that she was going to greet the emperor.
