Daily Life of Jiang Liuniang

   Chapter 739 New House

   Sent Jiang Ling and Jiang Erlang away. When the three sisters returned to the inner house, Jiang Murong and Li Zhengqiu had already returned to the East Courtyard to rest, and her aunt was talking to her grandmother about the house.

"It's Jiao's house in the west of the alley and south of the road. His family wants to sell the house here and collect money to buy the Sanjin mansion in Jing'an Square. Jiang Ming went to ask and knew that our family bought it, and they also bought it. Don't shake it, the price is one thousand eight hundred taels."

   Mrs. Jiang said, "It's the Jiao family who is in the framing business? I remember that his family has four sons. How many yards is it?"

Yazheng replied, "It's his family. The owner's name is Jiao He. There are parents, grandmother, and four sons. The place they want to sell is a two-entry yard. In 2018, it can still be lived in after repair and painting, but the yard is smaller."

"It's enough for Linger and I, plus a few servants to live in. The yard is smaller so it's easier to clean up." Jiang Pinglan was extremely satisfied with the yard, "It can save you the need to paint and scrape white, I think it's enough to clean it up. Can move in."

   Mrs. Jiang shook her head, "When you move to a new house, you have to have a new look. You can't save it by whitewashing. After the Jiao family moves out, let's go around and see how to clean it up."

   "Grandma, let's help too." Jiang Liu suggested himself, "We helped clean up my brother's yard. We know where to buy good furniture and where to find craftsmen."

   Jiang Mujin also said, "Grandma and aunt tell us what we want to clean up the house, we will be able to clean it up within a month!"

  Liao Chunling also followed, "Grandmother, the three aunts are preparing for the marriage of the eldest cousin and the second cousin, and my mother wants to raise a child, so you can leave the housekeeping to us."

  The children are all grown up and sensible, and Mrs. Jiang is happy, "Okay, let's go to see the house together."

   Jiao's family moved out soon after receiving the money. After Jiang Brown took someone to clean up the house, Mrs. Jiang took a large family over to look at the courtyard.

  The distance from the middle of the alley to the west entrance of the alley is more than 100 zhang. The family does not even need to sit in a car, they can get there on foot. Pushing open the two wooden doors with black rivets, they entered the small outer courtyard through the concierge. There was a well in the middle of the courtyard to the west. The walls and doors and windows of the west wing were blackened by smoke, which should be the kitchen of Jiao's family. Enter the spacious main courtyard through the hanging flower gate. The main courtyard is five times larger than the front courtyard. The main room and the wing rooms are connected by a chasing veranda. The furniture in the room has been emptied, and only the yellowed wall covering and the cracked floor of the blue brick are left. The corridors and railings are mottled with red paint, some of the railings have been damaged, and the window lattice bars have also broken a lot. It is impossible to live without repairs and replacements.

  Jiang Liu followed behind his mother, his eyes fell on the two cherry trees in front of the left and right ear rooms that were taller than the room, and said happily, "We will have cherries to eat next year."

   This sentence broke the silence after everyone entered the courtyard. Mrs. Jiang said, "This courtyard is bigger than I thought. After cleaning it up, it will be enough for the three of you."

   Jiang Pinglan is very satisfied to have such a big yard. "These rooms are cleaned up. When Dalang and Zhenger get married, there will be too many guests at home, so you can live here."

   Mrs. Jiang patted her daughter's hand, and the mother and daughter smiled at each other. Yazheng led Xiaoyue'er out of the main room and said with a smile, "This yard is 1,800 taels, so it's really cheap for us to pick up."

   "Well. This main courtyard is similar to that of Aunt Bai's." Bai Quanhai's house has three entrances, only one more row of back rooms than this courtyard. It is very good to have such a house in Kang'an.

   Jiang Liu asked the second sister in a low voice, "Brother Liao's new house in Chonghuafang is bigger or smaller than this?"

   Jiang Muzheng nodded lightly and said in a low voice, "It's almost the same as here, but the house is newer. He said it cost more than 3,500 taels."

  Chonghua Fang's two-entry house is more than 3,500 taels, and according to the market price, it is 3,000 taels at least here. The family secretly subsidized the aunt, and the sisters smiled tacitly and continued to look around.

   Liao Chunling, who supported her mother, happily asked, "Mother, where will my daughter live in the future?"

  Jiang Pinglan smiled and said, "You live in the west room of the main room, and your mother lives in the east room."

   Liao Chunling smiled happily, but she still said sensible and authentic, "Daughter should live in the east wing, wait for the mother to give birth to the younger brother, let the nurse take the younger brother to live in the west room."

  Jiang Pinglan touched her daughter's head and said gently, "The main room is big enough, I will live in one with your brother, and you will live in one."

   looked at the yard and decided how to repair it, and the group returned to Jiang's house. After discussing with his mother, Jiang Pinglan handed over the repair of the yard to Jiang Brown, and Liao Chunling watched.

   Taking over such an important errand, Liao Chunling was excited and apprehensive, "Mother, can my daughter do it?"

While combing her daughter's hair, Jiang Pinglan said, "The trivial matters will be done by Jiang Brown, you don't have to do anything, just go over and take a look. If there is anything you don't understand, you can ask your cousin and cousin. You don't mean that Liu'er is only younger than you. In three months, can you manage more than a dozen shops and farms? If you want to do this in the future, you can follow Liuer out to meet the world. This is Kang An, the girl's family can go out to do things and learn skills, no one will say Three things."

  Liao Chunling's eyes lit up, she turned her head to look at her mother, but was scratched on her scalp by the comb, and it hurt so much. Jiang Pinglan slapped her on the body, "What a girl, and she's frizzy."

  Liao Chunling turned back and smiled brightly at her mother. Jiang Pinglan couldn't help laughing. She put her daughter in her arms and patted her lightly, "With your uncles here, as long as we don't cause trouble, no one can bully us. You don’t have to worry about food and clothing, and no one makes irresponsible remarks.”

  Liao Chunling carefully looked at her mother's face and asked, "Mother, are we really not going back to Liao's house?"

  It was hot, Jiang Pinglan asked while fanning her daughter, "Linger wants to go back?"

   Liao Chunling said quickly, "I don't want to, my daughter likes it like this."

   Jiang Pinglan said warmly, "We have separated from your father. In the future, Linger can go back and see when she thinks of your grandmother and father. Mother will not come back."

   "Then my brother..." Liao Chunling and her brother grew up fighting each other and suddenly separated, how could she not want to.

  The fan in Jiang Pinglan's hand paused and said softly, "Without the Jiang family's care, your father will have to go back to his hometown to find another way out after he is appointed as the magistrate. Then your brother should come and follow us."

   Liao Chunling took the fan and fanned her mother, "Will grandmother and father agree?"

  Jiang Pinglan thought of the Liao family, but she still gambled in her heart, but she didn't show it, she only said gently, "As long as they are not stupid, they will not object."

   After Jiang Pinglan returned to her mother's house, her head gradually became clearer, and she could understand things that she couldn't understand before. Liao Qingmo lost his official position. After returning to his hometown, he was at most a rich and wealthy gentleman. What could Yuan Dong do with him. For the long-term consideration of his son, the Liao family will definitely send him to Kang'an to make a living.

  The son was spoiled by the Liao family. When he comes to Kang'an later, he will be disciplined.

   I hope it's still too late. If he is disobedient, let Liu’er beat him with a stick, only to beat him honestly and until he knows he is afraid!
