Shen Zhiyao smiled when she saw the fat woman. Wasn't this the first person she stopped to ask for directions last time she came to Tongfang County?
"Mom, why are you here?" The shopkeeper of Yihua Pavilion greeted him happily.
The fat woman Du Shi was carrying several bags of medicine. She put the medicine on the counter and said mysteriously: "This is the secret recipe that mother got from an old doctor. You..."
"Mom, I still have guests here."
"Oh." Mrs. Du stopped talking and patted the shopkeeper's hand, "Anyway, remember to take these medicines."
"Sister, I've changed it."
Shen Yueya walked out of the store compartment and ran to Shen Zhiyao with a smile.
As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Baiqiu also changed his clothes.
Shen Zhiyao praised a few words, then walked towards Du who was standing aside and asked, "Auntie, I just heard you say that the county magistrate was arrested. I wonder what happened?"
"Did the girl just come to Tongfang County?"
Mrs. Du looked at Shen Zhiyao, and after Shen Zhiyao nodded, he enthusiastically explained her doubts: "Let me tell you, the imperial envoy who was patrolling Fucheng two days ago suddenly came to Tongfang County and found out that Magistrate Guo That dog official falsified his accounts and squandered a lot of people's money and money. The imperial envoy put that dog official's family in jail."
"The whole family was arrested?" Shen Zhiyao thought of Guo Huai, the son of the county magistrate, who rode horses in the busy city last time.
"That's not true." Mrs. Du said with a happy smile on her face: "Their family is not a good person. Guo Huai, the son of the dog official, bullies men and women all day long. He also likes to ride horses in the street. Not long ago, he almost trampled people to death. "
Shen Zhiyao nodded in agreement: "They are indeed not good things. It's great that the imperial envoy caught them!"
I hope the court will eventually impose a harsher punishment on them, so that Guo Huai will never have a chance to stand up.
In this case, even if it was revealed that she was the one who stopped Guo Huai's horse last time, she would not be afraid of Guo Huai's revenge.
After chatting with Du about Magistrate Guo, Shen Zhiyao asked her about the location of the dental shop.
It's not too far from Yihua Pavilion, just three streets away.
When Shen Zhiyao brought Shen Baiqiu and Shen Yueya to Yahang, there happened to be a few waiters free in Yahang, but most of them took one look and looked away. Only an honest-looking man came forward to receive them and greeted them. Went to a table and sat down.
"Girl, I wonder what you need?" Wumiao, the dental shop clerk, made tea for them enthusiastically.
Shen Zhiyao said: "I want to buy a house."
"I wonder what kind of house the girl wants to buy. Do you have any particular ones?"
Shen Zhiyao stated the conditions that he had thought about for a long time: "I hope the house will be in the south of the city. It doesn't need to be too big. It only needs to have three inner rooms or more. There must be a well in the yard, the lighting must be good, and the neighbors around it must be harmonious and not like to make trouble. "
After hearing Shen Zhiyao's conditions, the other guys at Yahang secretly laughed:
The price of such a house is not cheap. A woman with two children, such a combination, does not seem to be able to afford a house in the south of the city. It seems that Wumiao will have to work in vain again and cannot open a business.
Wu Miao was slandered, but he was still enthusiastic. He said, "Girl, wait a moment," and after a while, he took out a stack of books.
The booklet describes the basic situation of the house.
Wu Miao flipped through the information on three houses and showed them to Shen Zhiyao: "These houses are more in line with the girl's requirements. The houses are all vacant now. Girl, let's go look at the houses now?"
Shen Zhiyao naturally agreed.
Wu Miao got the key, borrowed Yaxing's carriage, and took the three of them to the south of the city.
The first house was on a back street in the south of the city. The house was spacious and bright. The disadvantage was that the house was on a dirt floor.
The second and third houses are both on Qintai Street, which is only about a quarter of an hour's walk from the county school.
"The owner of this house is a businessman. He owes money for his business and is in urgent need of cash turnover, so he is thinking of selling the house." Wu Miao introduced as he led them to the second house.
The second set is a three-entry house with bluestone floors and complete furniture. No problems have been noticed for the time being.
"The last one is in Qinglian Lane opposite. The owner is a bookstore owner. In recent years, he has opened a bookstore in Fucheng. He wants to sell the house in the county and settle in Fucheng."
With that said, Wu Miao took them to the house in Qinglian Lane.
This house was similar to the second house, but the yard was larger. Shen Zhiyao looked at it and saw that he could carve out a separate piece of land in the yard to grow vegetables.
Moreover, there is an osmanthus tree planted in the yard, and the water well is under the osmanthus tree.
Shen Zhiyao liked this house very much. She liked the fact that she could grow vegetables in the yard.
I asked about the price. The first two sets cost more than 190 taels, and the last set cost 210 taels.
Since Shen Zhiyao liked the third house, she didn't hesitate and asked Wu Miao to make an appointment with the house owner. After some bargaining with the house owner, the house was finally sold for one hundred and ninety-five taels.
The magistrate of Tongfang County was arrested, and the county government continued to operate as usual. When Shen Zhiyao and the others went to the government office to transfer the property, all the procedures were completed before long, and Shen Zhiyao got the house deed.
"We have a house!"
It was already dusk when she returned to the inn. Shen Zhiyao took the house deed and looked at it, feeling very satisfied at this moment.
Regardless of ancient or modern times, buying a house is one of the ways that can bring people a sense of security.
"Sister, let me take a look, let me take a look." Shen Yueya stretched out her neck while jumping up and down.
Shen Zhiyao unfolded the house deed and placed it on the table.
The two little heads of Shen Baiqiu and Shen Yueya came together.
"Shen, Zhi, Yao. Sister, this is your name, I know it." Shen Yueya pointed to the owner of the house on the house deed and grinned.
A few days ago on Yanliu Mountain, my sister taught her how to write on the ground. The first thing she recognized was the names of the three of them.
"Yes, that's right." Shen Zhiyao gave a thumbs up. After they had seen enough, she put the house deed away and said, "We will move to our home tomorrow."
The next day, after the morning meal, Shen Zhiyao checked out of the inn. With Shen Baiqiu carrying a basket on his back, the three sisters moved to the house they had just bought.
Shen Zhiyao put down her backpack and suitcase and prepared to buy daily necessities.
The house has large furniture, but there are still many things missing. She needs to buy at least three quilts, necessary pots, some dry firewood or charcoal, lamp oil, today's ingredients, etc.
This time she went alone, while Shen Baiqiu and Shen Yueya stayed at home to clean.
Because she bought a lot of things and it was difficult for her to put the things into the space in front of everyone, Shen Zhiyao thought about it and went to the car dealer to rent a donkey cart with a carriage.
It was summer now and the bedding was relatively thin, so Shen Zhiyao directly chose the sixth bed.
After buying the bedding, Shen Zhiyao quickly selected pots and some other miscellaneous items and went straight to the grain store.
Shen Zhiyao asked about the price. Ordinary rice costs eight cents per catty, polished rice costs ten cents per catty, brown rice costs four cents per catty, and white flour costs nine cents per catty.
She directly ordered fifty pounds of ordinary rice and fifty pounds of white flour, which cost her eight hundred and fifty Wen.
Shen Zhiyao moved the rice and flour into the donkey cart, lowered the curtain, and put the rice and flour into the space.
Afterwards, she went to several grain stores and also bought some rice and white flour to put in the space. Without anything else, she just wanted to stock up.
After buying rice and flour, Shen Zhiyao counted and found that she only had 282 taels left.
The money is really wasted.
