Chronicle of Farming in Muxianfu

Chapter 164 Ancient Intermediary (Pink!)
Today is Qingfeng's shift guarding Suiyuan, and he received a message from Xiao's residence that his wife is coming back, and he had already burned the charcoal pots in each house, but no matter how he burned them, he felt that it was not as warm and clean as the geothermal heat in his own house, and it was a difficult time.Ouyang had already knocked on the courtyard door, he hurried out and opened the courtyard door, greeted the carriage and stopped outside the second gate.

Mu Ai helped Chun Equinox's men get off the car, then turned around and carried the children out, and told Xiao An Xia Zhi to take care of them to change their homely clothes and take a nap for a while, the two maids complied and led the children in.

Qingfeng went forward to lead the carriage to unload the cart. Ouyang and Kong Xi whispered a few words about the evening shift arrangement, then stood by the door and waited. Mu Ai and Chun Equinox walked around the big kitchen. When they left the day before yesterday, there was not much food left. The two of them planned to check it out, and hurriedly ordered someone to buy it, so as not to make everyone hungry for dinner, but the grain tank had already been filled with fine flour and corn flour, and half a stack of wood was piled up in the woodshed. In the corner of the kitchen, there were a few womb cabbage piled up, and two pieces of fat and thin pork belly were placed on the wooden table.Thinking about these, Mu San must have arranged for manpower to be added today. He has worked as the shopkeeper of the new shop for more than a month, and he has already become a thoughtful and meticulous person.

Mu Ai was relieved, and took the spring equinox into the second courtyard, and went back to her room to wash and change clothes.The children took a long nap, so they didn’t feel much sleepy after dinner. Mu Ai had to use his brain to find some interesting and intellectually exercising games to play with them. Dayu fell in love with backgammon, and only taught him After two or three rounds, it was inextricably linked with the vernal equinox.Cheng'er and Simba are keen on "tiger stick chicken", playing hands for the lottery, which makes the two boys feel like they are betting against each other.

Mu Ai lazily hugged Xing'er in her arms, and told her a fairy tale, but there were too many novelties in the story, which made it difficult for her to explain.It wasn't until late at night, at the end of the hour, that she coaxed the children and went back to sleep with some unfinished business.

Xing'er slept in the East Wing and was taken care of by Xia Zhishangye, Dayu lived in the South Room of the West Wing, and Simba Cheng'er lived in the North Room. The children's beds were covered with thick sheepskin mats and new quilts, and the beds were lighted again. The silver silk charcoal basin, therefore, is not much colder than at home. The quilts were carefully tucked in for the children, and Mu Ai closed the door lightly, and then, under the service of Xiaoan on the vernal equinox, he washed his face and feet, then go to bed and fall asleep.

After getting up early the next day and having dinner, Mu Ai asked the children to re-practice the pinyin and numbers they learned in the mansion. She was preparing for the exam. If she did well in the exam, she would be rewarded. punish.Dayu solemnly agreed, Cheng'er and Simba winked at each other, and together with Xing'er they promised to practice well, Mu Ai didn't say much, changed into royal blue men's clothes, tied up her hair neatly, and ordered A few maids, Kong Xi and the others took care of the children's safety, and then they didn't take the car, but went out with Ouyang to the storefront of the medical center.

Simba and Cheng'er watched their mother and master go out the second door from a distance, and immediately jumped up happily, throwing the ink-stained brush, two long ink marks slid across the milky white paper. Two Head to head, Tao Boy began to discuss whether to go to the garden for a water fight, or to ride a horse in the yard.

Dayu frowned, and said, "Simba, Mom is coming back to take an exam, so please review your homework before going to play."

"Well, my little brother is not good, and my mother won't cook you something delicious when she comes back." Xing'er held a small writing brush in her small hand, and said to her side.

Simba pouted his lips, and shook his head nonchalantly, "No, Mom loves Simba the most. Besides, I didn't say I won't review my homework. I'll come back and write after playing for a while."

Cheng'er also nodded fiercely, and yelled at Xiao Fang and Xiao Yuan who looked embarrassed at the door, "Let's go, let's play generals and kill the enemy. It's my turn to attack today."

Simba immediately jumped up and rushed out, shouting while running, "I want the rockery to be a city, Xiao Cheng, you promised yesterday, don't play tricks."

Cheng'er immediately took Xiao Fang and Xiao Yuan to chase them out, "No, the pavilion is your place!"

The four boys disappeared in a blink of an eye, Dayu bit his lips, and looked at the two men beside the door who were doing needlework, "Sister Chunfen, Sister Xiazhi, they..."

When Chun Equinox heard him speak, he stood up and responded with a smile, "Master Yu, when Madam left, she only asked us to take care of the safety and food of several young masters and ladies, and didn't ask us to supervise their homework."

Xia Zhi also stood up with a smile and said, "Yes, Master Yu is the elder brother, or else you can persuade him."

Dayu hesitated for a while, and finally said, "They said they would only play for half an hour, and I'll call again when the time comes."

"Yes, Master Yu. Then I'll take care of the two young masters first. The pool isn't freezing deep, and if I fall into it, I'll catch cold."

"Go." Dayu responded softly, then lowered his head and continued to review his homework, Chun Equinox glanced at him calmly, sat down and continued to embroider purses...

Mu Ai and Ouyang left the gate of the mansion, and there was a bustling shop street not far from the intersection. It was still early at the moment, but there were already horse-drawn carriages moving around the street one after another, all of which were transporting goods for various shops.

The two found a teahouse and went in, asked the waiter, and were immediately led to a thin middle-aged man in green cloth clothes in the corner.When the middle-aged man saw Mu Ai, he quickly gave up his seat with a smile. His name is Liu Mancang, and he is a well-known old businessman in the south of the city. He would drink tea and wait in this restaurant whenever he was free on weekdays. Whoever wants to buy a house, whoever wants to sell it For the house, he is the matchmaker in the middle. If the sale is completed, he will charge a certain profit fee. To put it bluntly, he is equivalent to a modern housing agency.Last time, Suiyuan was bought and sold through this person, and he handled things fairly honestly. He never hid traitors or played tricks, and kept secrets from both sides. Therefore, this time, when he was planning to open a medical clinic, Mu Ai was the first to think of it. this person.

Liu Mancang also recognized Muai and the two as the customers who bought the second yard in Huaishu Hutong last time. They shouted to the buddy to serve good tea, then poured it with their own hands, held it in front of Muai, and then Then he asked, "Mr. Mu, last time I bought that house and lived in it, it was quite comfortable. It's not that I, Liu Mancang, boasted. Your house is elegant in terms of construction, but it is one of the best in the city. I didn't know it when we were talking about the business. Later, some colleagues told me that the house was built by a famous craftsman in the south. If the original owner and the craftsman were not from the same township, I am afraid that he would not be able to invite him. However, Mr. Mu is blessed , easy to buy."

"Well, that yard is really nice to live in, so I came to look for you again this time just to give you another job. I plan to buy a yard outside the East City Gate, preferably closer to the official road. House or front door. Do you agree with these conditions?" Mu Ai frowned and looked at the teacup in her hand, then gently put it down again.

Liu Mancang listened, pondered for a moment, and said, "Master Mu, you want to open a store outside the city? Why not in the city? Many good stores I know in the city are selling..."

"No," Mu Ai interrupted him, and said calmly, "The store I want to open must be outside the East City Gate. Master Liu doesn't have to persuade him, it's fine if there isn't one."

"Hehe, the villain is talking too much. Mr. Mu, there is really a house in the east of this city that agrees with your conditions, and there are two adjacent ones. It has only been built for less than a year. It is next to the official road. It is very neat and spacious. .However, there is a problem with these two yards, that is, they must be sold together.”

"Oh?" Mu Ai raised her eyebrows and asked, "Could it be that the two adjacent houses belong to the same master?"

"Oh, Mr. Mu is really a man of great intelligence. He guessed it right away. I will tell you the truth, these two courtyards are a problem in my hands. You also know that the people living in the east of the city are poor. People, generally those with a little wealth are unwilling to live there. Those two courtyards are the owners of the two grain shops in the city, Zhang Ji and Li Ji, who are greedy for cheap land prices. As soon as the yard was built, Zhang Ji’s boss got seriously ill when he went out to discuss business. He left the young widowed mother and sold the yard to Li Ji at a low price. As a result, within a month, the servants of Li’s family neglected to take care of him. The windows were not closed on rainy days, the food was damp, and he was afraid of being punished by the owner and concealed it privately. Therefore, all the food stored in the two yards was moldy, and Boss Li also paid a large sum of money to go in. He put the yard I entrusted it to the villain and planned to sell it together. Unfortunately, there are no secrets in this city. Everyone says that the place has bad feng shui, and the money is ruined. Those who do business are looking for auspiciousness. Who dares to risk this reputation to take over Ah. So, the delay is in my hands." Liu Mancang said this, and saw that there was no sign of anger on Mu Ai's face, and then continued, "If you don't have to find a yard outside the east gate, Over there, only these two are eligible, even if the villain is killed, the villain would not dare to introduce it to the young master. After all, the young master is also seeking money, right?"

Mu Ai smiled lightly, "Master Liu, you can go to Boss Li and ask, can you visit those two courtyards today?"

"Look at the yard? Mr. Mu intends to buy it? Hey, okay, okay, Mr. Mu, please sit down for a while, and the villain will go to Boss Li immediately." Liu Mancang thought that after he said these secrets, this Mr. Mu would definitely not bought.It's not that he is so kind and honest that he can't bear to lie to customers, it's because the two courtyards are so famous in the city, even if he keeps them secret here, as long as this Mu Gongzi inquires casually later, he will know the details, and the business can't be negotiated. , his word of mouth for many years is all over.However, I didn't expect that Mr. Mu actually planned to visit the yard after hearing this. Isn't he afraid of losing money?Or he didn't buy the yard for business?But no matter what the reason is now, as long as the yard can be sold, in addition to the maintenance fee, Boss Li has to thank him a lot.
