Chapter 119 Buying a House
"Is there anything else for this girl?"
Wu Guihu said in front of the pregnant Zhou Yunshu, looking at the somewhat unruly and unreasonable young lady in front of him.
"I, you..." The young lady was a little speechless for a moment when she saw Wu Gui's love and consideration for Zhou Yunshu, but finally said: "Apologize to me, you just hurt me!"
"I'm sorry, I was reckless just now."
Wu Gui's apology was sincere. She looked at the young lady in front of her, who was much younger than herself, and said softly, "Can we go now?"
The young lady looked at Wu Gui's gentle face and soft words, and nodded blankly.
Wu Gui smiled politely and nodded, holding Zhou Yunshu's shoulders and walking around the young lady in front of them to go out of the teahouse.
The waiter wanted to ask them for money for the two damaged stools, but after thinking it over, he decided to make peace with the other two people.
It is really not easy to run a teahouse at the dock. The shop will be smashed every few days. Fortunately, the young lady this time looked like a rich person and would not do something like running away from the debt.
The young lady did not run away from the debt, but she was just reluctant to pay.
The maidservant who had been following her looked at her mistress with a gloomy face and said softly, "Miss, please don't be angry. We won't argue with those rude people."
"Who wants to argue with them?" The young lady, or rather He Si Niang, said angrily, "I'm mad at my parents!"
"Why are they so anxious to push Third Sister out just because Big Brother said he's going to have a martial arts competition to find a husband? Third Sister already has someone she likes, and they're...!"
He Si Niang's mouth was covered by her maid, "Miss! Please don't talk nonsense about this!"
The maidservant put down her hand when she saw He Si Niang calm down. "This matter cannot be known to other people in the family. Otherwise, not only will the Third Young Miss be finished, but your reputation will also be ruined!"
He Si Niang curled her lips, looked in the direction Wu Gui and the others had just left, pinched the corner of her clothes, and didn't know what she was thinking. She just said very nonchalantly, "I know."
In the carriage.
Xixi said to Zhou Yunshu beside her, "Mom, that person looks like He Zizhen."
Zhou Yunshu smiled and said, "How are they similar?"
Xixi pinched her waist and imitated He Si Niang's voice just now, saying, "How dare you! Do you know who I am?"
Then imitate He Zizhen, "Do you know who my father is?"
Zhou Yunshu laughed out loud at Xixi's clever imitation, "It really does look like her."
"Even if she's not my biological sister, she's probably my cousin."
The clothes of the little maid following behind He Si Niang are somewhat similar in pattern to the clothes of the maids and servants around He Zizhen.
In addition, they only became angry after hearing that the man was coveting the third daughter of the He family. It is estimated that the young lady is either the third daughter of the He family's biological sister, or a sister in the clan who has a particularly good relationship with her.
"Mother, why do they always like to ask others if they know who he is, and who their father is?"
Xixi pouted and said, "We don't know them, so how can we know who they are or who their father is? No one knows who my father is either!"
Zhou Yunshu pinched the little tuft on Xixi's head and said, "Xixi, you can't mention your father to others, okay?"
Although Xixi didn't understand, she nodded.
"Mother~"
Xixi hugged Zhou Yunshu's arm and said coquettishly, "Daddy, do you really not want us? Don't want Xixi anymore."
Zhou Yunshu looked at Xixi's big, watery eyes, kissed her forehead and said, "No."
"He didn't abandon you, but mother couldn't leave you anymore, so she took you away."
She touched Xixi's hair and said softly, "Although Daddy is not by your side, he loves you the most, doesn't he?"
Xixi thought of the past between her and her father, nodded her head, and said with a smile: "Daddy loves me!"
Zhou Yunshu nodded and said, "If anyone asks you whether you know who their father is, Xixi just ignore them."
After hearing this, Xixi shook her head and said, "No, if you ignore the crybaby, he will cry again."
The crybaby Xixi was referring to was little He Zizhen, because he loves to cry the most.
Zhou Yunshu thought of He Zizhen's crying, which she could hear almost every day when she was on the boat, and nodded in agreement.
That child is indeed a little too crybaby.
After leaving the teahouse, Yan Shilei and others followed Manager Liang in a carriage to a courtyard with two entrances.
After getting off the carriage, Shopkeeper Liang came to Zhou Yunshu and said, "It's a coincidence. I met a shopkeeper at the inn, and he just happened to be talking about selling his yard."
"I went up to ask around and thought the location and price were okay, but the area was a bit small, so I thought I'd come over and take a look." Shopkeeper Liang said with a smile, "I didn't expect that although this courtyard has two entrances, there is a garden on the east side and a river outside."
"If the shopkeeper hadn't been anxious to raise money to sell it, he wouldn't have been able to get the three hundred taels of silver at all."
Zhou Yunshu looked at the green bricks, blue tiles, red doors and brown pillars in front of her, and knew at a glance that it was a wealthy family.
"good."
Seeing that Zhou Yunshu was also satisfied, Shopkeeper Liang smiled and said, "Then I'll go and transfer the ownership!"
Zhou Yunshu nodded. Fang Huiwen took out three silver notes worth one hundred taels from his purse and handed them to Shopkeeper Liang. Shopkeeper Liang put them away with a smile and continued to Zhou Yunshu, "The house has been cleaned up. Sir, please go to the restaurant to rest first. We can move in after the transfer is completed."
"Okay." Zhou Yunshu then asked Fang Huiwen to give Manager Liang a hundred taels of silver. "Get it done as soon as possible, and then see if there's anything else we need to buy. Buy some first."
As for the rest, I’ll buy what I need after I move in today.
"Okay, sir, I'll go right away!"
Money makes the world go round.
Shopkeeper Liang originally wanted to give the government office twenty taels of silver as a reward so that they could get the job done quickly. Now that he has some money left, if he gives forty taels, he thinks the job can be done before he even finishes lunch.
This is what it means when you have money you get things done.
Just as Shopkeeper Liang expected, as soon as the food Zhou Yunshu and the others ordered was served at the restaurant, Shopkeeper Liang came back with the house deed.
The benefits were so great that Manager Liang simply jumped the queue and completed the formalities.
After lunch, everyone returned to the newly bought house.
Although this house is not facing the street, it is not far from the main street. Moreover, they are the easternmost house, and there is a river passing by to the east, so there are boats available for landing and boat rides.
When you push open the door of the house, you will see a koi fish picture on the screen wall that symbolizes peace and good fortune.
When I walked in, I found that the back house next to it was empty. There was a pond in the middle of the front yard, with a rockery and a pine tree in the pond.
The yard is quite large, and the side rooms are also quite large.
"Sir, you don't have to arrange a room for our family. I have rented a small courtyard not far from our house, and our family lives there." Manager Liang took the initiative to say.
There are many people in their family, and it would be too crowded if they all lived in together.
Zhou Yunshu nodded and said, "Grandpa Xue, you can stay in the first room in the east wing. Uncle Yan and Uncle He can divide the rest up among yourselves. I think there are plenty of rooms for you to stay in."
Yan Shilei and Uncle He nodded.
"The main room will be where we eat and handle things, and it will also be where the children will go to school."
As for the backyard that Zhou Yunshu did not mention, it naturally belonged to them, the women and children.
Originally, Zhou Yunshu also wanted to arrange Zhou Yunjia to live in the front yard, but now Zhou Yunjia’s health is too poor, so he temporarily lives with them in the backyard.
