Chapter 163 The shocking family affection of the Song Dynasty
Everyone said that this transaction was good, and of course the transaction was progressing very quickly.
The next day, under the witness of the middle-aged man, the two parties quickly signed a contract and stamped the yamen. The transaction was completed.
Because of this transaction, Gu Sanniang regained her anger. When she looked at Shi Chuan, she no longer evades. She even had a greeting. She smiled and asked without saying a word: "Dalang, my little sister used to take care of you. Now she is very favored at Wang Xianggong's house and has begun to assist Mrs. Wang in managing housework. She often thinks about the days of being taught by the general..."
Gu Xiaoqiniang studied here for less than a month. What Shiqin could teach her was just a set of multiplication formulas, and then published a few books. He didn't believe that with a set of multiplication formulas, Gu Xiaoqiniang could be the boss of Wang Xianggong's house. However, Shiqin still accepted Gu Sanniang's compliments... A house was 300,000 yuan cheaper, and even if Gu Sanniang reported it again, it was worth it.
"I dare not take credit for my contributions. How can Xiaoqiniang be able to do this today? Is Aunt Gu's teaching for many years? Why? Is Xiaoqiniang very proud now?"
Shi Chuan's words were full of the smell of keeping people from afar. Gu Sanniang quickly stood up and replied respectfully: "Dalang gave Gu Xiaoqi a set of female books. Wang Xianggong read it very much, and said that he had the opportunity to meet Dalang. My Xiaoqi was also attracted by Wang Xianggong for this and helped the mansion to educate Wang Xianggong's unmarried lady at home.
My mother often recited Shi Dalang's kindness and said that she would definitely visit her if she had the chance - now she is in her new home to help clean up the house."
Shi Chuan replied casually: "Oh, so that's it. Your little Qi Niang is valued by the king's husband, so she wants to move to live near Wang's husband's house. A good idea, so even if you get married, your parents and brothers can also get the care of Wang's husband."
Gu Sanniang thanked her repeatedly and said goodbye. After she left, the young ladies in the yard received the news and rushed to congratulate her. In the evening, Lin Xiang and Huang E’s father’s housekeeper also learned the news and came to congratulate her together. Lin Xiang said with satisfaction: "Nephew has a property now. OK. After my family comes, I will ask my nephew to take care of her."
Huang E immediately jumped up like an electric shock and said angrily: "Uncle, is the house you rented now not working? Dalang's newly bought house will not be vacated in three months. During this period, my uncle still needs to live in the house in Cebu..."
Shi Chuan waved his hand to stop Huang E, took out two silver sticks, handed them out in a stack of money, and gave them a little broken copper coins to Lin Xiang. Because Lin Xiang called him a nephew, Shi Chuan's name also changed, and he said, "Uncle, this is 300 guan, which is probably enough to take the exam."
Lin Xiang was stunned for a moment. He slowly stretched out his hand and put away the money. He sighed and said, "Uncle is useless. He has to rely on his nephew to spare his life to catch the thief to collect the travel expenses... Don't worry, I will definitely pay you back this money."
Putting the money in his sleeve, Lin Xiang bowed to Huang E: "Niece, I will leave tomorrow. My uncle will work hard in this subject. He will never return to his hometown without earning a single piece of clothing."
Lin Xianggong bowed and said goodbye decisively.
As soon as he left, Huang E's shoulders immediately collapsed, showing a relaxed look: "Now, I can live here every night from now on."
Lin Xiang left, and the old butler, Uncle Sun, was still there. After hearing this, he stepped forward anxiously to stop him: "That won't work, girl, the master is about to take office, so I'd better leave some decent for the master."
Huang E stared at the old housekeeper and said to herself: Do you know that there is a vixen in this room walking around all the time? Look, I didn't look closely for a while, the vixen has already been next to my brother. If I can't come and stare, she will definitely be able to climb onto my brother's bed?
The old housekeeper did not retreat and thought to himself: E Niang, who would marry? A girl has a great reputation and better reputation. Even if she fails to marry Shi Dalang, she will naturally have Li Dalang, Zhang Dalang, Wang Dalang. If someone is suspected of being in the melon field and ruined her reputation, she will marry Shi Dalang. Can you raise your head in his house in the future?
The two of them were in a stalemate, so they came out to smooth things out: "E-niang should come in the morning and leave in the evening. Your newly rented house is in the barracks alley. There are imperial guards nearby, which is safer. Here... In about a month, refugees everywhere will arrive in Haizhou. The city will be crowded and unsafe."
Huang E came back to her senses and looked at Shi Chuan in surprise: "Do you know that there will be refugees coming? The county government received the news this morning that the Liangshan gangsters won a little in Huaiyang, but they immediately turned around and returned. In addition, Tong Guan and Tong's envoy had already started to mobilize the imperial guards. Tong's envoy's army was in Jiangnan, just in front of Haizhou, so how could the refugees come to Haizhou..."
While speaking, Lu Yun and others arrived. They were originally on the construction site of the county government. After receiving the notice from Shi Tong, they went home to prepare a gift for marriage. They originally planned to discuss with the master at night. When the three of them entered the door, Shi Tong was talking about the issue of refugees. When Lu Yun heard the topic and did not speak, Li Shi jumped and said, "Yes, yes, E Niang said, although we were commissioned by the county government to start repairing the city wall, the county government was not urged. Haha, the project payment given by the county government is not sufficient... Now the county and the prefectures are not active. How big can a small gangster's rebellion cause?"
Shi Chuan was about to talk to his three apprentices about this matter, but he didn't explain and waved his hand and said, "In a month, you will get all your marriage done and you can't delay it. Then let's free up..."
After hearing this, Lu Yun showed a smile of wish. Qu Xin seemed a little shy and his lips squirmed twice. Li Shi blurted out: "What does the master say, what will the apprentice do - the apprentice has already chosen the shop of the coal cake farm, and is waiting for his wife to come over to preside over. Oh, I'm looking forward to this day."
Shi Chuan turned around and took a few contracts, and handed them to their sweethearts in front of Lu Yun and the other two: "I have bought the next yard. I heard that there are four small courtyards in the next yard. In the future, the workshop of the fragrant and ointment farm will be set up in that courtyard. I will divide the shares of these two workshops into nineteen parts, and each of you will use one as a dowry."
Huan Niang twisted her body and interrupted: "Brother, the ointment field... This thing was originally a prescription that my brother came up with for Huan Niang's hand. Can I take one more portion of Huan Niang?"
Huang E slapped Huan Niang's head: "Didn't you hear my brother say? I've divided nineteen shares, but my brother didn't even take up one. You're still greedy."
Shi Chuan replied disapprovingly: "It is not good to say that if I, a big man, participate in the stakes in the workshop, I will be very good at saying that I am a big man. It was also made by your sisters themselves. In the future, you will have to do it yourself and your brother will not interfere."
Lu Yun and his men were still humble. Shi Chuan took out some money and some jewelry and distributed it to the three girls who were about to marry: "This is your gift to marry. I will make a few new uncle's clothes these days. Time is rushed. We will convert the dowry and betrothal gifts into money. Let's keep it simple."
Shi Chuan's guess was very effective, but he underestimated the people's sensitivity to danger. Just over a dozen days later, the number of refugee strikers appeared in Haizhou, and more and more, disrupting Shi Chuan's original plan.
At the beginning, the influx of refugees was not large, just some landlords and gentry. Everyone didn't care. Shi Chuan even took the time to drive a fast sailboat to sea, and moved some money and overseas goods from Yizhou Castle, preparing to give the three married girls a dowry... When he came back five or six days later, the city of Haizhou was already crowded. The rich fled from Chuzhou, Suzhou, Huaiyang Army, Lianshui Army and other places entered the city, and purchased real estate in Haizhou City to take refuge here for a long time. The poor people in the two places dragged their children and daughters outside the city, either relying on relatives and friends, or following the arrangements of the government to move into temples and Taoist temples, waiting for the relief provided by the Song Dynasty court according to the customs, and the training of the army into the wings.
As a result, housing prices in Haizhou City soared... If Gu Sanniang sells Gu's house now, the price can double and sell it to around 1,500 guan.
Because of this, Shi Chuan was a little embarrassed when he saw Gu Sanniang coming to find him. He made a secret decision in his heart: It is appropriate to apologize. Gu Sanniang's apologies are worth 300,000 yuan, which is equivalent. If it is too much, it would be a bit bullying. Shi Chuan still needs to live in Haizhou. If Gu Sanniang asks for an increase in the housing price, it is not impossible.
Unexpectedly, Gu Sanniang spoke but gave her a surprise when she gave her a gift. She first gave a gift and said, "Dalang, the situation is a bit unstable now. My parents want to move to the new house in advance. I wonder when Dalang will come to take over my old house."
Shi Tuan was stunned for a moment and was immediately overjoyed: "The reason why the house next door is low is that Sanniang originally gave me a discount, which also contained three months of rent. Sanniang moved away..."
Gu Sanniang bowed again: "Three months of rent is not worth much. As long as the man is willing to promise me something, the three months of rent will not be compensated."
"Oh, what's the matter? If you're not too embarrassed..."
"My girl Gu Xiaoqi is at Wang Xianggong's mansion. A few days ago, several guests came to see the "Book of the Girl" in her sister's hand and said she wanted to meet the editor. If Dalang is willing to give a favor, he will go to Wang Xianggong's mansion... Wow, as long as Dalang helps this, we will be clear to each other."
Shi Chuan stood up straight and looked at Gu Sanniang carefully.
In this era, the gap of identity is insurmountable. Shi Chuan is Bai Ding. Gu Xiaoqi "married" a husband, so the boyfriend used a casual tone to wear it when he greeted him - the boyfriend had this qualification. But others don't know that Gu Xiaoqi knew the pride of Shi Chuan. She asked her to do this. She couldn't call him to wear it. She would be considered incompetent when she first entered the palace, so she had to do it well and succeed.
What is a husband? It is a retired husband who is outdated. Shi Chuan even dares to beat the boss Meng County Magistrate on the head, dares to pat the other party on the shoulder and scold him. If Shi Chuan is wronged, he must make a low gesture and make Shi Chuan understand his own suffering... Gu Xiaoqi asked his sister to come forward.
What is family affection? This is family affection. Gu Sanniang, who has always been arrogant and domineering, immediately whispered to please Shideng in a low voice after knowing her sister's misery, and even sold her house at a low price... Can this family affection not be respected?
The Song Dynasty was a commercial society, but the Song Dynasty was still China. The lunar morality of Chinese civilization permeated the bloodline of every Chinese. Shi Chuan couldn't help but stand up and lowered his head to Gu Sanniang and asked softly: "Sanniang, how are you preparing for your marriage?"
Gu Sanniang was a little shy and covered her mouth with a handkerchief and said, "I have chosen the little boy I like. After my parents moved there, I will get married from the new house. At that time, will Dalang be willing to be a distinguished guest?"
