In the afternoon, Zhang Zhou went back home first and brought out his family mysteriously. He drove the car himself and parked it in front of a large house in Jian'anfang.
"Husband, where is this?"
After Jiang Pingyu got off the carriage, she looked around. The road was much wider than the narrow alley, and it was far away from where she lived before. The place is not far away either.
Zhang Zhou smiled and said, "I just found a dentist and signed the lease. We should be living here in the next few months."
"Ah"
Only then did Jiang Pingyu know that her husband was going to improve the family's life.
The family of five happily entered the yard.
This is a three-story house. Its specifications are not as good as those of a wealthy family, but it suddenly felt like it was back to the life of a rich man in the past. Even Zhang Jun couldn't help but ask, "Dad, we are rich again." Right?"
Zhang Zhoudao "It's not important to have money, what's important is to have power. If I live here for a few months, I will go to the capital to take the exam before the end of the year. Maybe next year I will be a Jinshi and become an official."< /p>
Jiang Pingyu and Han Qing were both smiling.
My husband is confused. He has just passed the imperial examination and is thinking about becoming a Jinshi.
Is it that easy?
"Dad, it doesn't matter whether you are an official or not. Hurry up and hire a teacher to enlighten me." Zhang Jun has an inexplicable desire to study.
Zhang Zhou flicked the boy's head: "If I find a husband for you, you should study hard. If you dare to be lazy, watch how I whip you."
Zhang Jun was angry Then ran to the backyard.
Maybe Zhang Jun has also begun to find the rhythm of being a wealthy young master.
"Husband, the business has not been completed yet. Why should we change to a place as big as this house? It costs too much money. How much is the monthly rent?" Jiang Pingyu began to feel sorry for the money.
It is said that it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality, but looking at Jiang Pingyu, it seems that she has become accustomed to the life of a farm wife and has learned to budget carefully.
Perhaps she has inherited the fine tradition of her father, Old Man Jiang, and is also a good at settling accounts.
In this way, Zhang Zhou can safely leave the affairs of the backyard to her.
"It's not much, eight silver dollars per month, which is already cheap. I also asked Xiao Guizi to buy some tables, chairs and benches. I think they will be delivered soon." Zhang Zhou took Jiang Pingyu over. He came over and said with a smile, "You used to be the daughter of a wealthy family and lived a hard life with me. Now no matter what, I have to let you improve your life first. Years ago, our family went to the capital together to see things. How about it?"
Jiang Pingyu said, "My husband is going to take the Beijing exam, why should I let my concubine go?"
"The whole family has to be neat and tidy when going, but in the past few months, the business in Nanjing has also been I can't stop. I could earn two to three hundred taels of silver from my previous rice and grain business, but that's not enough. Even if I pass the Jinshi exam, I still have to live a life. Do I still have to live on the small salary given by the court and become a corrupt official? The corrupt officials have to earn their own money, and if they can't stand up for themselves, they should find others to stand up for them."
Zhang Zhou was looking forward to the future.Come.
Jiang Pingyu looked over with doubtful eyes.
Some others want to make a fortune, and some want to be an official, but I have never seen my husband like this. He wants to take the imperial examination and become an official at the same time, but he also wants to make a fortune in business.
Isn’t that a contradiction?
After moving into their new home, the family is busy cleaning up.
This place is not far from the small courtyard where she lived before. Jiang Pingyu took Han Qing back to clean up and brought all the belongings that she could bring.
Zhang Zhou went out to buy some pens, inks, paper and inkstones in the afternoon and came back. He also inquired about the surrounding printing shops. When he came back, he found Han Qing fetching water in the yard. His youngest daughter Suisui blinked her big eyes and was talking. Xiao Nizi, who was eating maltose and putting on new clothes, also began to learn to enjoy life.
"Don't put too much effort into it. Just wait until I get back and hire a maid to come back later." Zhang Zhou walked up and took the bucket from Han Qing's hand.
Han Qing said with a happy face, "It's great here. There is a well in the yard. Finally, I don't have to go out to fetch water. I can use it whenever I want."
Zhang Zhouxin Said, Mrs. Ru is really easy to be satisfied. She is so happy because there is a well in the yard.
Zhang Zhou looked at the well and thought about it. The well in the yard was a bit dangerous. It seemed that he could consider making a simple water press so that he could use it at any time in the yard. It doesn't take much effort to get water.
"Husband, come here."
At the door of the inner courtyard, Jiang Pingyu greeted Zhang Zhou with a smile.
Zhang Zhou walked to the inner courtyard, while Han Qing was responsible for washing clothes. It was probably because it was inconvenient to wash clothes before, but this time he finally moved to a new house, so he had to come here to wash and brush first.
"Madam, I have something to do"
"I have just prepared a room for my husband, he came to take a look"
Jiang Pingyu took Zhang Zhou into the largest room in the house. , it became Zhang Zhou’s bedroom, and there was a desk outside. However, the bedding looked a little old, but because it was Jiang Pingyu’s dowry, the material was very good.
"My husband will sleep here from now on." Jiang Pingyu said, "My sister and I also have a room each."
The third courtyard, although it is not the layout of a northern courtyard. , the yard is still a bit crowded, but there are four bedrooms in the house, as well as a woodshed and kitchen. If it is tidied up again, a room can be prepared for the hired servants.
This is already considered very good.
Zhang Zhou walked over and took a look, shook his head and said, "It's just that the bed is a little small."
"It's not too small, right?"
Jiang Pingyu She also checked carefully. When she understood what Zhang Zhou meant, her cheeks immediately turned red, making her even more shy and beautiful. This made a "gentleman" like Zhang Zhou very distracted and wished he could do it right away. Dharma.
Jiang Pingyu said, "Tonight, I will ask my sister to come over."
Zhang Zhou smiled and said, "No, you will come too."
"Husband, "Don't mess around. "Jiang Pingyu.Even more shy.
Zhang Zhou said, "I'm not messing around. I let the two little ones sleep by themselves. They are already big kids."
Thinking about it carefully, Zhang Jun does seem like a little adult, but Sui Sui's side seemed to be a bit younger, and the youngest daughter in the family was also more favored, so Zhang Zhou added, "You can let Qing'er put Sui Sui to sleep first."
Zhang Zhou originally thought Jiang Pingyu would refuse such a rude request.
But Jiang Pingyu only thought about it for a moment, then said "hmm" and agreed directly.
"Prepare good meals and celebrate the joy of moving to a new house." Zhang Zhou suddenly felt that he had found the mentality to settle down, and he was ready to be a native of the Ming Dynasty.
Even if you let him go, he won't leave.
Jiang Pingyu said, "My husband has just passed the national examination, so we have to save everything. After all, we don't have any more income. My husband will take the Beijing exam next year, so I'm afraid I need to save more."
Zhang Zhoudao: "You don't know this, right? If I win the election, many people will come to donate their fields. Besides, I will also find ways to do business."
"There is also business. There is always a loss." Jiang Pingyu was still a little wary of Zhang Zhou doing business.
Just because you have made a profit in one business, you cannot think that you will be able to achieve success in the future. There are too many examples of losing money in the business world.
Zhang Zhou smiled and said, "I am a Juren. What are you afraid of? Now there is a way out. As the saying goes, the spring breeze is proud of the horse's hoof disease. No, it is autumn now, so the autumn wind sweeps away the fallen leaves. I want to make a lot of money from it."
