The sturdy farmer's wife: the prince's favorite concubine

Chapter 196 The new house is built
In a blink of an eye, Yang Yuanxiang's big house basically took a prototype. Looking at the big blue brick wall, Yang Yuanxiang felt extremely at ease, and now the family finally had its own house.

There are three courtyards in this house. On the outermost gate hangs a plaque with the words Yang Zhai written on it. There are stone lions of the town house on the left and right sides. The vermilion gate is engraved with large copper nails. Enter the gate, the floor is covered with gray and white floor tiles, and there is a long corridor on the left and right, connecting many houses that first entered the yard.

These rooms are not big, but each one is clean and exquisite. This is the room Yang Yuanxiang intends to live in for his servants.

In the middle of the courtyard is a stone wall, which blocks the main entrance. This is called storing wind and gathering energy, and the house gathers wealth. Bypassing the stone wall is a large lotus pond. There is a rockery inside, with many flowers and plants planted on it. The rockery is not high. But exquisite.

There are red lanterns hanging under the eaves, all of which have a Yang character written on them. Although this kind of yard is not comparable to the real dignitaries, the ten miles and eight villages are definitely first-class.

After crossing the pond, go further in, pass through the gate of a month, and you will arrive at the second entrance courtyard. There are also many rooms here, mainly reserved for Taohua, Shen Zhimin and others. The house on the mountainside is reserved for Master Xie and his apprentices to live in, and in the future there will be more master porcelain burners living in the old house on the mountainside.

There is a large pavilion in the center of the place, and there is a large stone tablet standing on the third entrance to the courtyard. There is an article written on it, and I don't know what it means.

There is a stone table in the center of the gazebo, which can accommodate more than [-] people to sit around. This yard is larger than the first yard, and there are shelves around the gazebo.

Yang Yuanxiang was going to plant some grape seeds, which Yang Guangzhong asked his former employer to find.

His old employer’s family has a wide network of contacts, and his son’s business is all over the place. Naturally, there are channels to find grape seeds. The grapes can be viewed firstly, and secondly, they can make money. This is also a channel that Yang Yuanxiang thought of. In addition to grapes, she also planted creepers and gourds. , loofah and other crops.

Most of the reason is to beautify the environment here. There are four osmanthus trees in the four corners of the Erjin courtyard, which are also adult osmanthus trees that Yang Yuanxiang spent a lot of money to transplant.

There is also a small door in the corner of the courtyard. This small door directly leads to Shen Hongyi's house next door. The two of them are neighbors. After obtaining the consent of his aunt and sister, Yang Yuanxiang left the small door on purpose to facilitate the two families' communication.

Further on is the third courtyard, which is smaller than the second courtyard, but it is divided into two parts. The first part is the residence of Yang Guangzhong and Shen, and the other side is the study of the Yang family. The study is connected to the underground. The secret room, which stores the property and ledger of the Yang family.

In addition to the house, the courtyard is full of flowers and plants, and there is a shallow fish pond. Two osmanthus trees that are larger than the front are planted in the corner of the courtyard. There is a swing in the middle. This small courtyard is romantic and elegant.

The other small courtyard is the residence of Yang Yuanxiang and his sister. The sisters share a room with each other, and there are two smaller rooms on their right. This is the place where Yang Yuanxiang is going to live for the girl. There is a stone table, but it is much smaller than the gazebo in the second courtyard, it can only seat four people, and other people can sit around it.

Below the gazebo is a small pond with carp swimming around, surrounded by magnolia trees and sweet-scented osmanthus trees. Under the tree is a gazebo with two reclining chairs, where the two sisters relax.

Yang Yuanxiang’s room also has a secret passage, which leads directly to the secret room, while Yang Yuanqiu’s does not. However, the two sisters’ room has a secret door, which allows them to go directly to each other’s room. Yang Yuanxiang also made the room a secret for safety reasons. That's it.

What the family lacks now is furniture and curtains, and these things need to be added slowly, and the girls are also very interested, shopping for things in Kunmi Town all day long.

After repairing the house, Yang Yuanxiang began to build the necessary workshops and shops.

Now the shop has built sixteen rooms, and the remaining fourteen rooms are still under construction. Yang Yuanxiang plans to take out four rooms, widen the back and make it directly into the restaurant hall, and add two floors to the top, and then go back and forth. The more people there are in the right bank, the business of this restaurant will get better and better.

A counter is also going to be set up in the hall to do lo mei business for Shen Shi and Shen Yunxian. As for the shopkeeper of this restaurant, Yang Yuanxiang plans to let his father do it.

Although my mother is very good at handicrafts, she is a woman after all, and can run a small business. If there are guests, it is not easy to ask Mrs. Chen to receive them.

As for the embroidery workshop, Yang Yuanxiang also reserved three shops and three ceramic shops, so there are only six ready-made shops left. Thinking that there are only these three businesses in the family, Yang Yuanxiang plans to leave one The spare shops are only for short-term rent, and the remaining five shops are rented out for long-term, and the last fourteen shops will also be rented out when they are completely repaired. One shop is ten taels of silver per month. A room in the same room earns about 200 taels of silver a month.

Even so, there are many people who want to rent.

"Xiang'er, since our house is almost finished, Dad is thinking of moving in this year's Lixia, what do you think?"

Yang Guangzhong looked at the big yard, feeling extremely at ease.

Yang Yuanxiang chuckled.

"Sure, we will deliver the furniture soon, and when the time comes to clean the house, we will move in. By the way, I will post a notice that we will rent out five rooms of our shop, and we will earn 50 taels a month. "

Yang Guangzhong nodded.

"After you move in, go find the matchmaker and ask her to find a few smart girls. Let's buy them, preferably younger ones. Let's buy them to serve your mother. Your mother's belly is getting bigger and bigger. Once the lower shop opens, no one will be able to take care of your mother."

Yang Yuanxiang nodded.

"Well, I know all these things. Not only buying people, but also buying cattle, catching chickens, catching piglets, and buying saplings. Our family has a lot to buy."

Yang Guangzhong let out a long breath of relief.

"This year is really busy. Dad still thinks that the new year is just over. In the blink of an eye, it will be the beginning of summer in one month. When this summer comes, your mother will cry again."

Yang Yuanxiang smiled slightly.

"Father, have you forgotten that there is an ice room under our house? Don't think about it, let's do a good job with the current business first. By the way, didn't my grandma have to say that it will be opened a long time ago? I don't think it's going to happen now." It's not open?"

Right now, every household is building the You’an Collection. The You’an Collection has changed its appearance, but no one has yet opened it. Although Yang Guangde has said it several times, he has no idea what business to do now, so it has never opened.

Yang Guangzhong laughed twice.

"Don't worry about this matter. I think that before the beginning of summer, the You'an Market will probably open, and then we will know what kind of business your grandma's family is doing."
