peasant girl

Chapter 439, big and small things (3 more

"Go down!" Chu Zhengrong said softly.

The servant girl backed away.

This maid was carefully selected by Mrs. Chu, she worked hard, was honest and responsible, and knew what to say and what not to say.

She didn't spend so much time thinking about climbing into the master's bed, she just wanted to work hard to save money, and then marry Chu Zhengrong's little brother.

Chu Zhengrong looked at the books on the desk. They were all manuscripts, but they were rare copies that were hard to find.

These books were all hand-copied by Zhu Zhaodi. Naturally, the original book was borrowed from Xun Muyang. Apart from Xun Muyang, she had no source for the books.

This love is too deep.

Chu Zhengrong turned a page cherishingly and looked at it seriously.

Thinking of Zhu Zhaodi's face when she was serious about copying, she pursed her lips and smiled.

I took a vermilion pen and wrote down my comments and experiences where I had seen it.

He will keep these books as family heirlooms, so that future generations can see how loving their ancestors were.

The only book that could not be found was really profound. Chu Zhengrong couldn't help it when he saw it like this. I read a lot.

"..."

Chu Zhengrong was a little surprised.

Master Chu wanted to go out to find a house, so that Chu Zhengrong and Long Yurong could read at home, and he and Mrs. Chu went with their servants.

Dongcheng and Nancheng don’t dare to think about it at the moment, only Xicheng and Beicheng, and the house in Beicheng is cheaper and bigger. Master Chu is also hesitating, because sooner or later he will have to move to Nancheng, plus there will be banquets and some betrothal gifts. , It’s only about two hundred thousand taels of silver, except for the expenses of the family, you have to save some money to open a shop or something, otherwise where will the family’s expenses come from?

Master Chu and Mrs. Chu discussed it, and decided to ask Zhu Erlang what he meant. If Zhu Erlang didn't mind, they would buy the house in Beicheng first. Open a shop.

After hearing Master Chu's plan, Zhu Erlang said, "Okay, buy Beicheng, buy a slightly bigger one, let me tell you, people in the capital can earn a lot of money, don't they have two scholars at home, let them write and draw, The cost of opening a calligraphy and painting shop is low, not to mention how much you sell, you can definitely earn some money. Although this is degrading, it is just difficult to gain a foothold in the capital, and he and Yurong will need to spend money to manage it in the future if they want to move around in the officialdom There are too many places, we don't have to pay attention to where we must live, we will go step by step, and being down-to-earth is better than anything else!"

When Master Chu heard it, he thought there was something going on.

I'm afraid there are not many people who can read and write in Beicheng. The calligraphy and painting are suitable for the occasion, and the flowers are not too bad. There are quite a few people who draw pictures.

"Then why don't we try opening a calligraphy and painting shop first!" Master Chu asked tentatively.

"Alright!"

Since it is said that the house was bought in Beicheng, Master Chu and Mrs. Chu will look at it in Beicheng. Not to mention, the houses here are really big, and they are well cleaned up. Houses worth 5 taels are not bad. Two is fine, Master Chu thought that he would have two sons at home, so he had to buy a bigger one.

Zhu Xiao learned that Master Chu wanted to buy a house, and he bought it in Beicheng, and asked him if he wanted it. She happened to have one in her hand, and Xun Muyang had two, and now they are left there empty, even the furniture inside, and there is no need to move them. Let's go, 5000 taels per house.

After hearing this, Master Chu went to have a look again. Among other things, the furniture in the house where Xun Muyang lived was too expensive, so he didn't dare to use it. "If all the furniture in this yard is taken away, I would rather Buy it!"

The three houses are connected together, and in the future, one son will have one house, which is very good.

"it is good!"

Those furniture were really not suitable for Chu's family. Zhu Xiaola went to Anyibo's Mansion to have someone clean it up, and waited for her dowry to be taken to Prince Yi's Mansion.

"..."

Xun Muyang looked at Zhu Xiao, "The palace is still short of this thing!"

"Leave it to my father, he definitely won't dare to use it, I have to buy furniture for my dowry anyway, those things of yours are good things, so I'm not welcome!" Zhu Xiao smiled.

I also don't want Zhu Erlang to worry about the furniture.

Master Chu bought three houses for 5000 taels of silver, and he couldn't help but feel emotional.

At the beginning, in order to save his son, he sold two houses to Zhu Xiao, and now Zhu Xiao sold three more houses to him.

After buying the house, the Chu family moved immediately.

Long Yurong also wanted to buy a house. When he came to Beijing, his parents also gave him money, hoping that he would find an official position in the capital in the future, but the houses in the capital are really not cheap. With these three houses, Zhu Xiao still Sold cheap.

Discussed with Chu Xuerui, if in the middle of the next year, if he stays in the capital for a job, he will buy it, if he can't stay in the capital, he will not buy it.

"Actually, it's okay to buy. When the time comes, let's grow up and let Xiao Xiao and His Royal Highness Yi Wang talk about it..." Chu Xuerui said.

"Don't, good steel should be used on the blade. You can't bother His Royal Highness Yi Wang just for such a trivial matter. Although it's just a matter of his words, we must know how to advance and retreat, so don't talk about it in the future!"

"understood!"

The couple did not buy the house in the end.

However, Qin Tianjian calculated two good days, which were just good days for the next hire, one on the third day of October and the other on October 25th.

Both are great days.

For the Chu family, they have also chosen a date, one is the third day of October.

Then Zhu Xiao can only choose October 25th.

As for the betrothal gift, Zhu Xiao hoped that Xun Muyang would not be too much.

"It's different, Xiaoxiao. He is the prince, representing not only himself, but also the royal family. Don't worry, I won't compare with you, and there's no need. The identity is different, and many things can't be the same!" Zhu Zhaodi reassured.

It's just that Zhu Zhaodi and Zhu Xiao didn't expect that the day when the Chu family decided to get married was on October 22, and there were only a few days during this period.

"..."

Zhu Xiao hesitated for a moment, "Is it too urgent!"

Zhu Zhaodi was really looking forward to it.

The Chu family felt that there was no rush, because they were afraid of having long nights and dreams, so they should hurry up and marry her back home.

Zhu Erlang also agreed.

The Chu family immediately got ready. Zhu Zhaodi’s dowry basically didn’t need to be prepared, it was all ready-made, such as furniture, Babu bed, etc. It cost more than 2 taels of silver to buy a good set, and Zhu Erlang didn’t Distressed.

Originally planned to buy a set of 1 taels, but Zhu Xiao moved Xun Muyang's used one, but he refused to take it. He really didn't need it when he went to the palace.

So I added money and bought a better set of pear blossoms for Zhu Zhaodi.

Zhu Erlang was very considerate of himself, and was very willing to part with his daughters. Pan Hemei didn't bother with these things, and even found a lot of things that the emperor rewarded her, and distributed them to the three sisters.

"Mother..." Zhu Zhaodi looked at Pan Hemei.

"Take it, your mother is different from your father. He has no parents, no mother-in-law or sister-in-law at home. You don't have to bother to compare, and you are not afraid of being bullied. But Zhaodi is different from you. You have two sister-in-laws above you. , you are married to the most promising of the three brothers, your luck is in the future, but before the luck comes, you have to spend your time on managing it, but in this world, it is difficult to move without money, but there is also one thing, the money must be collected well, unless it is a last resort , don’t use it for Chu Zhengrong, he is a man, so he should make money to support his family!”

"Yes, I think what my mother said makes sense, but during the holidays, the eldest sister also has to surprise him and give Mrs. Chu some gifts, so the eldest sister should keep it!" Zhu Xiao said with a smile.

I went to tease Qiyou again.

This little guy is getting more and more fun, and he can spit bubbles.

Pan Hemei was teaching Zhu Zhaodi how to get along with husband and wife, while Zhu Hua'er stood by and listened with great interest, thinking that this mother was a bit interesting.

Zhu Zhaodi kept nodding her head, thinking that Chu Zhengrong was reading books these days, so she should copy two more books for him.

Seeing that Zhu Zhaodi was obviously distracted, Pan Hemei smiled helplessly, and also went to tease Qiyou.

All Zhu Zhaodi's books were borrowed from Xun Muyang, and they had to be returned after they were copied. Xun Muyang also knew why she copied books, so when she came over every few days, she brought two copies. After Zhu Zhaodi copied them, they returned them to Zhu Xiao , and didn't take it back, just put it beside Zhu Xiao.

Zhu Xiao looked it over, but didn't think there was anything good?
Maybe if you don't go to the officialdom, you can't see the goodness of these books.

But I heard that both Chu Zhengrong and Long Yurong were going crazy when they read the book. It seemed to be a good book. After reading it patiently for a while, they could recognize all the words, but they couldn’t quite understand them even after reading them. They even made me dizzy. Brain up.

It really is not smart enough.

Zhu Xiao thought so, so he didn't get entangled.
