Cousin girl's salted fish life

Chapter 48 Interest
Since Huilan is staying with a girl from a relative's family, there is always a reason why she misses a few days of class every month.Hui Lan was secretly happy about this, while Fourth Lady was extremely envious.

After nearly three years of study, Hui Lan is still not very good at writing, but her ability to read characters is recognized as strong, which makes the teacher feel very embarrassed. (Hehe, there are cheats after all!)
The textbooks in the school are just read through with the teacher, and the favorite is to read books outside the class.Since I knew about the Book Collection Pavilion in the mansion, except for going out and in the kitchen, I have devoted the rest of my free time to the books there.No one in the family believed that she, a little girl who had just been enlightened for a while, could understand. Which Cymbidium threw herself into the ocean of books with a copy of Shuowen Jiezi in her arms.

Everyone was noncommittal, but the old lady tolerantly let her go, and only asked not to read at night, so as not to hurt her eyes.Of course, Hui Lan doesn't want to be nearsighted, and there may not be glasses for her to wear here.Of course, strictly follow the old lady's meaning, and practice eye exercises to protect your eyes.

The girls who followed her, Qingguo, were old and knew a lot of characters, but they couldn't write well.It was enough for daily use, and she was busy, so Huilan didn't force her to study harder.But from Liu Ya Narcissus down, they are forced to read and write, especially Liu Ya, who needs to keep accounts, and is even more conscientious.

It's a pity that the girls are of course not as strict as she is. They all have errands, and some of them never get started.Hui Lan had no choice but to watch the maids recognize a hundred and ten commonly used characters and let go of those who failed to get started, and only took care of a few key points.

Liu Ya was half responsible, and half was forced by Hui Lan, so she also became the latter group.Together with Narcissus, Emerald, White Jade, and Green Pine, let's follow Cymbidium to start a small stove.In about two years, some of them can be considered to be able to write, Hui Lan feels very proud.

Pearl is dexterous, and she has a knack for sewing. She has already accepted the banner of Narcissus and has become the master of Cymbidium's room.Tourmaci followed her mother, knew everything about the kitchen, and paid special attention to it, not to mention the rest.Biyu is really blind to the name. She loves martial arts and hates literature, and she is even more tanned; He fought on equal terms with the 10-year-old Si Niangzi, and was treated differently by Si Niangzi and San Langjun.Except for the dexterity of green pine and a little bit of talent in combing hair, the other little ones have nothing to show for, at most they are honest and responsible.

Of the two nurturing mothers, Hui Lan prefers Mama Lin who is knowledgeable, interesting and talkative, and the maids in her room are similar.When Huilan divided the yard, Mama Wang would probably go back, and the foster mother would only leave one of her mothers in charge, Huilan preferred Mama Lin.

After three years of savings, Hui Lan's pockets are very big.The most important thing to do when you have money is to buy a house!This should be the most committed lifelong concept of everyone in the future.

It happened that my grandfather returned to Beijing the year before last, and once borrowed Steward Li and Steward Zhou to help them buy a house.Hui Lan also took the opportunity to ask them to help her grandparents' family with all their strength, and pay attention to the houses in the city and the fertile fields in the suburbs.

In the end, my grandfather's family built a three-entry house in the east city where civil officials gathered, a shop in Gulou Street, two shops in the west of the city, and two Zhuangzi in Daxing with a total area of ​​5 hectares.After spending nearly [-] taels of silver, Hui Lan secretly praised her grandfather's family for being rich.After all, there is still a house and a shop in the hometown of Guanzhong, Zhuangzi. These are other properties purchased in the capital. It seems that someone from the grandfather's family will be resident in Beijing.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Steward Li also selected a three-entry mansion for his family in the Imperial College.The Guozijian is not far from the Gongyuan, where there are full of students and supervisors, bookstores, calligraphy and painting shops, brush and ink shops can be found everywhere.Huilan happened to have a shop in that area, on the front street, and the house was on the back street.

Hui Lan was moved by what she heard, and asked her uncle to find out the seller's background.I learned that it was the ancestral house of an old Gongshi, whose parents had also been officials, but in his generation, he failed to become a Jinshi after a lifetime of examinations.Now that I am old, I can't pass the exam, and life may be hard, so I have to go back to my hometown, so I have to sell the house.

The asking price is a little high because it needs to be cleared in one go, so although several companies want it, they haven't decided yet.Hui Lan made a quick decision and asked her uncle to send someone to handle it. The house will be written in his name first, and the ownership will be transferred after she is 15 years old.

Seeing that she was quite determined, my uncle did not refuse, but also gently persuaded her.The family has sufficient funds, and you are an orphan, so don't be too ostentatious.Huilan understood immediately, saying that as a junior, she always felt ashamed to rely on her ancestors' legacy.Now this is only one time to enrich the family business, which can be regarded as a little contribution from the descendants of the Li family.

This is not an excuse, as an outsider, she has inherited such a large fortune.I should be satisfied and proud, but I always feel that it is not real like a castle in the sky.That's why I really want to buy a house by myself, so that I can have a little sense of belonging.

Uncle just reminded her kindly, seeing that she is sensible, the starting point is also good.So he readily agreed to come down and ordered to go on, and the red deed will be obtained in the afternoon.Even buying a house with taxes and remuneration to middlemen cost Huilan almost 5000 taels of silver.This pain like cutting flesh made Hui Lan's sense of belonging immediately explode.

Hui Lan thought about making some future plans for Steward Li, Steward Zhou and other loyal servants.He also set up four small villages not far from his own farm, ranging from fifty or sixty mu to as many as a hundred mu.This is because my aunt was invited to come forward to settle down, and I also explained the reason.My aunt didn't say anything, but praised her for being kind.He quickly helped to complete the formalities and contracts.Nearly 2000 taels went out again, Hui Lan felt pain and was satisfied.

After nearly three years of operation, of course, it was managed by Steward Li and Zhou's stewards. Hui Lan has [-] private savings in her hand.This time, another year's income was tossed out.Although they didn't say anything, Hui Lan was still quite embarrassed.The so-called cub sells grandfather Tian doesn't feel bad, although she has reasons for it.So Hui Lan decided not to buy land on a large scale in the future, and what she had was enough for her ten lifetimes.Even if heirs are added to the family in the future, the family business will be enough.

Hui Lan decided that in the future, she would devote herself to writing and publishing books if she had the energy, even if it didn't make any money, it would be a career.Otherwise, when people are alive, they will eat, drink, and scatter, and they will receive gifts and give gifts to save money and wait for marriage.Who made her a little girl, those visions of traveling around the world are too unrealistic.Then choose the next best thing, after all, people always need a goal to live.

Now she can find things that are closer to realizing the value of life, such as reading and coding.So Huilan is very determined. The so-called life is endless and struggle is endless, and she has been working hard.
