Farmhouse Qiaofei

Chapter 193
Bai Shao followed Bai Chuanbai to visit the two villages very close to Xieyang County, the people there were quite simple, and the quality of the land was also good, so she nodded and bought them.

Dazhuangzi brought more than 100 mu of land, and Xiaozhuangzi had more than 50 mu of land. Together, they spent more than 800 taels of silver.

Bai Chuanbai was very distressed, and repeatedly said that as long as a small one is enough, it was Bai Shao who stubbornly bought the two Zhuangzi, put Bai Chuanbai's name on it, and went to the yamen to pass Minglu.

From now on, Bai Shao's family will have two Zhuangzi.

As for the business of "food is the sky", because the food in it has an agreement with Zhao Hu, it can't be sold in Xieyang County, so this shop can't be held, so Bai Shao signed an agreement with Da Chun Niang, giving her [-]% of the shares, Letting her watch the shop basically hired her as the shopkeeper.

Da Chun Niang couldn't help but agree, and also signed the contract and pressed the red handprint.

After that, there is no need to worry about this food for the sky, Dachun Niang alone is enough to take care of it.

At the end of March, Bai Shao and Bai Chuanbai went to Xieyang County to see a few shops that Zhao Hu found, picked five shops, and bought a rather elegant house, and then rented one. The small courtyard is for embroiderers.

Different from the houses in Izumo Town, which have a shop in front and a house in the back, the shop in Xieyang County is a shop, and the house is a house, and they are not connected together.

It is also because of this that the shop is much larger, and there is a warehouse for storing things at the back, Bai Shao is very satisfied.

As for the house, it is said that it was also a former house of a rich lord. Because the whole family wanted to move away, only the ancestral house was left, and all these other houses were sold.

Bai Shao picked up a bargain and bought a courtyard with four entrances for only 1000 taels.

At the beginning of April, when it was Bai Shao's eighth birthday, I invited Hou's family to have a meal, thanked them for taking care of them for such a long time, and warmly invited them to go to Xieyang County to do business, and then they moved.

Under the flamboyant "White House" plaque, Bai Shao's family raised their heads, looking at the grand and grand courtyard, unconsciously recalling the narrow and cramped small room on the west side of the house, with two pictures at the head and tail. Rows of small beds, shabby without even a table.

Look at this place again, the exquisite courtyard, the grand room, four people in front and back, Bai Shao's family of five, plus four maids and two servants, plus Zhao Long, and the few hands and feet he recruited are very good The nursing home can't run out.

"This is our first yard." Wu raised her head and murmured.

Yes, no matter the east side house that I lived in Shilipu before, or the Shiweitianhou house that I rented for a year in Izumo Town, they are still not the house of Bai Shao's family in the true sense.

After much calculation, the courtyard in front of me turned out to be the first house of Bai Shao's family.

"Mother, don't think too much, hurry up and get acquainted." Bai Wei happily took Wu's hand, and entered the gate.

The janitor who was originally from this other courtyard stretched out his head, saw the new owner, smiled, and hurriedly greeted them, "I have met Master, Madam, Young Master, Eldest Miss, Second Miss."

"No...you don't have to be so polite." Bai Chuanbai stretched out his hand to pay the janitor with some embarrassment.

The janitor was taken aback, and it took him a long time to realize that his smile towards Bai Chuanbai became much more sincere, "Master, this house has been cleaned up, and there were still a few maidservants and servants standing in the wing room. Now, if the master wants them, let them stay, if not, it doesn't matter."

"Ah, people in the past are used to it, so just stay." Bai Chuanbai said with a good temper.

Bai Shao was afraid that he would be looked down upon by others, so he added, "Keep all the good ones, and send away the bad ones."

The janitor nodded and said, "Second Miss said..."

Afterwards, he began to help Zhao Long and other nurses move things inside.

The first courtyard is reserved for the nursing home and the servants, the second courtyard is reserved for the men of the Bai family, and the third courtyard is for Bai Shaoniang and the others.

As for the row of huts that enter the four quarters, it was originally arranged for the housemaids to live in, Bai Shao didn't make any changes, and let those people directly live in the original location.

After being so busy for a few days, Bai Shao's family finally settled down, and Bai Shao finally found time to go to the county magistrate's mansion in a carriage to find Yan Shu.

It was the same young concierge, different from the previous times when he ignored Bai Shao, this time he saw her respectfully and almost threw himself down.

Bai Shao just asked, "Is Mr. Yan there?"

He hurriedly said, "Yes, young lady, the young master is in his own courtyard, and he left instructions saying that if the young lady looks for it, he will take the young lady there, here, the young lady goes here..."

Bai Shao followed behind him, raised the corner of her mouth sarcastically, and dropped it after a while.

After seeing Yan Shu, the concierge left, and Bai Shao said with a half-smile, "What did you do to this concierge? Why did his attitude when he saw me be completely different from last time?"

"It's nothing more than punishing him with some money and some physical punishment." Yan Shu said calmly, and put down the brush in his hand, "Why do you remember me here?"

"I want to ask you for help with something, Xiancheng's eldest nephew." Bai Shao tilted her head and smiled at him.

"Tell me." Yan Shu gave her a helpless look, and suddenly picked up the brush again.

"You know my embroidery shop. I'm going to open it in Xieyang County. I hope you can give me a word. Hey... I won't treat you badly. I'll give you a two-cent bonus. What do you think?" Bai Shao said confidently.

Yan Shu looked at her with some amusement, waved his hands lightly, and said with a smile, "Why are you so sure that I will get into your embroidery shop?"

"It's a friendship between us, it's wrong to say that these are too common." Bai Shao didn't answer his question directly, but slyly answered the question.

Yan Shu raised his lips and smiled, shook his head slightly, and said in a deep voice, "It's easy for me to mention the words, just sit here for a stick of incense and don't move around, I will promise you."

"Okay." Bai Shao agreed in one gulp.

Afterwards, as expected, she sat there motionless for a stick of incense until Yan Shu put down the fine brush in satisfaction, then picked up a brush as big as Bai Shao's hand, and started writing on the rice paper, Bai Shao relaxed down.

After a while, Yan Shu put down the brush, gently dried the ink on the rice paper, then lifted the rice paper, and handed it to Bai Shao.

As soon as Bai Shao lowered her head, she saw the word "Brocade" written on the slightly yellowed rice paper, and she said with some joy, "Thank you, my lord, I have brought the [-]% document, my lord." Put your fingerprints on it, and let people go to the Ming Road when you have time."

After speaking, he took out the documents he had prepared earlier from his sleeve pocket.

Yan Shu wanted to refuse, but after a second thought, he accepted it again.

Afterwards, the two exchanged some pleasantries, and Bai Shao proposed to leave because Jin Se still had a lot of things to arrange.

Yan Shu sent her out.

It was still a path made of cobblestones, Yan Shu said flatly, "Do you still remember what I told you last year? I think if I have time, I will ask Mr. Bai to take me to Fushan. I have something I want to know. "

"Of course it's possible, but..." Bai Shao hesitated for a moment, "Can I go too?"

"You're a girl, what are you going to do in the mountains?" Yan Shu glanced at her amusedly, seeing her pouted in displeasure, she quickly changed her words, "Okay, okay, I can take you, But don’t be afraid, I heard that Mt. Fu is deep.”

"I'm not afraid, you're here." Bai Shao grinned.

Yan Shu's brows on the side slightly twitched, and after a while, they fell back again.

It's just that the eyes looking at Bai Shao become softer.

On the same day, after Bai Shao came back from the county seat, she brought this matter up to Bai Chuanbai again, and Bai Chuanbai was grateful for Yan Shu's rescue, and agreed without hesitation.

Afterwards, the family began to concentrate on arranging the brocade. First, they found someone to order a plaque according to Yan Shu's words, and then they bought various fabrics.

Because it is in Xieyang County, different from the small place of Izumo Town, the cloth cannot be limited to two or three types, so Bai Shao and Bai Chuanbai ran to many dyeing workshops and ordered a lot of materials.

Of course, Zhang Yuniang still didn't throw it away, but because the price they gave was right, Bai Shao even signed a long-term cloth supply contract for them.

Then, on a well-chosen day, the brocade of Bai Shao's house opened with crackling noises.

It was a big shop five rooms wide, with a letter written by the county magistrate's nephew on it, because the price continued to be half the previous price, once the news came out, the whole Xieyang County was shaken.

Half-price, half-price fabric, don't grab the white or grab it.

So that day, the people who came to Jinse flocked into the crowd.

Of course, many uninvited guests also came at the same time.
