It has to be said that a person who can climb up to the position of housekeeper is much more agile and smart than ordinary people.

The butler arranged the gardener's affairs properly with a few words.

Then, he talked about the yard again, "The kind of yard that the uncle and the princess likes are usually stored in the household department. After the age is uniformly transcribed, they are handed over for sale. It's not impossible to come down.

"In this way, the uncle and the princess brought the old slave along. Let's go to the yamen of the household department. The old slave took the name card of Lord Hou and went in to ask how much the yard is asking for. If you can buy it, you can buy it directly, okay? it is good?"

"Okay, thank you, butler."

Of course Jiayin is happy, the gardener has settled down, and if the yard is bought again, the preliminary preparations will be basically completed.

As for famous flowers...

There was already too much stuffed in her space, so she quickly moved it out to relax.

Soon, the head steward explained a few words to the housekeeper, picked up the basket of grapes, and followed the Li family's carriage.

There is still half an hour before the yamen of the household department will have a break for lunch, and all the classes are very lazy.

The petty officials casually drink a cup of tea and gossip, and when the time comes, they leave.

The big steward went in with Lord Hou's name card, and brought out two little officials within a short while.

The two servants were very polite. They stood under the car window and saluted Li Laoer and Jiayin. Then the big housekeeper took them to hire a carriage on the side of the street and went straight to the small courtyard in the southeast of Xindu.

The seal on the front of the small courtyard is not easy to remove, but the back door can be entered and exited.

Everyone entered through the back door. Li Laoer and Jiayin only looked around and settled here.

The small courtyard is a two-and-a-half-way structure. There is half a courtyard at the front door, where carriages and sedan chairs can be parked.

After entering the second door, the patio is very spacious, whether it is a flower garden or a flower stand, it is enough.

There are three rooms in the main room and three rooms in the west wing.

It is also convenient to entertain ordinary guests, live in a gardener's family, or move potted flowers to hide on a stormy day.

As soon as you enter the courtyard at the end, you can stay in the three west wing rooms on weekdays, and reserve the three main rooms for occasional banquets.

The most desirable thing is that there is a moon gate on the east wall, through the moon gate, there is a small garden, the size of an acre of land.

Jiayin's first reaction was that this is simply too suitable for a greenhouse!

Think about winter, when the vegetation is withered and the snow is falling, if there is a greenhouse as warm as spring, full of flowers.

The guests sat among the flowers, admiring the flowers, drinking a cup of tea and chatting. No one can resist such enjoyment and temptation!

The two petty officials got an explanation from their superiors, and they were extra polite to Uncle Li and the princess.

Hearing that they have reserved this yard, they said that they can go through the formalities immediately.

The price is very cheap, only 800 taels, which is already a broken price.

You must know that this place is very close to the East City, and officials who need to go to court, or the second sons and concubine sons of wealthy families, all favor this location the most.

The price of such a yard is 2000 taels, and it can be sold in the blink of an eye.

Li Laoer is an earl and needs to go to court. According to the rules, he cannot do business in person and compete with the people for profit.

Jiayin is the owner of the princess, and she is young, so no one cares about it, but she still has to be on guard, so this yard is named under Tao Hongying's name.

Everyone went back to the yamen of the Ministry of Households. Jiayin used the hidden compartment in the car as a cover, and actually took the bank notes and a bag of broken silver from the space, and asked Zheng Feng and the housekeeper to go through the formalities.

In addition, Li Er Er also asked Zheng He to run errands to Cyclamen to order a banquet.

Just in time, Zheng Feng and the housekeeper came out with the house deed, and the boy from Cyclamen also arrived with a big food box.

The two small officials and the boss just now got 30 taels of money to moisten their hands, and they were already very pleasantly surprised.

I didn't expect there to be a banquet of cyclamen, so I was more happy to have a good lunch.

They used to do things for the nobles before, but most of them were bossy, not to mention the benefits, it would be good if they didn't get scolded.

People like the Li family are so generous and thoughtful, but there are not many of them. They can't say, they still hope that the Li family will come a few more times in the future...

Mrs. Li has been a little absent-minded all day long. To be honest, her granddaughter has grown up so much that she rarely leaves her side for so long.

For a while, she was worried that her granddaughter was hot and thirsty, and for a while, she was worried that her son might lose her granddaughter.

There are many kidnappers and villains on the street, and the granddaughter is beautiful and cute. What if she is taken away? !

Tao Hongying was worried that her mother-in-law would be at home by herself, fearing that she would not eat well, so she came back early from the cafeteria in the afternoon, only to find that her mother-in-law had only eaten half a bowl of porridge.

When she heard her mother-in-law say that she was worried about her daughter being abducted, she couldn't help but tell the truth.

"Mother, as the old saying goes, you are a treasure if you have crooked melons and dates. In your eyes, Fu Niuer is very good, but maybe the kidnapper will despise Fu Niuer after seeing Fu Niuer.

"After all, she's so fat, she can run away if she wants to be picked up, but she can't even be picked up! Besides, even if she abducts her back, it's a waste of food. The food that feeds her alone is enough to feed three skinny children!"

This is really a mother, every sentence is "dislike"!

Shuiyun and Wenjuan covered their mouths and couldn't help laughing.

Mrs. Li also pinched her daughter-in-law while laughing, and said angrily: "My granddaughter is good in everything except fatter, why is no one abducted and sold! You are so disgusted, don't be a mother for Fu Niuer, and adopt to Yu Ru, she can wake up from her dreams with a smile!"

Tao Hongying pretended to be pinched, hugged her mother-in-law's arm, and complained that her mother-in-law was biased and only loved her granddaughter, not her daughter-in-law.

Old Madam Li was almost thrown out of her bun, and laughed and scolded: "You and Fu Niu'er are real mothers and daughters, just because my hair doesn't please your eyes."

Tao Hongying laughed, took the silver comb from her head, sat behind her mother-in-law, and recombed her hair.

It was the bustling time, and the carriage that entered the city came back.

Carrying the snacks from Jiulianzhai in her hand, Jiayin ran in from the door with beads of sweat on her forehead, shouting, "Grandma, I'm back, I've brought you delicious food!"

Xu Shi didn't see the threshold, she tripped and rolled in.

Everyone was startled, and Tao Hongying picked up her daughter without rushing to her.

At this time, you can see the benefits of thick meat.

Jiayin made a floor gourd once, except for the dirty dress, there was no bruise or scratch on her body.

Li Lao Er carried the grapes and followed behind, two steps slower, watching his niece "perform" without stopping.

Needless to say, he was beaten again by his wife.

"I just said that you don't like the child, because you lost Fu Niu'er, but when you got to the door, you let the child fall!"

Li Laoer died wronged, but he didn't dare to argue with his mother, so he could only hold up the grape basket as a shield, "Mother, I'll wash the grapes for you!"

After all, he ran away in a hurry.

Jiayin was very hot, and her outer shirt was also dirty, so she simply took it off and hugged grandma's thigh to act like a spoiled child.

"Grandma, let me tell you, my second uncle and I bought a yard, which is very good! It also has a garden, and you can build a greenhouse! In winter, I take grandma to see flowers. It must be warm and beautiful, like a palace in heaven. !"
