Before Zhou Yu could say anything, Zhou Bang was pulled aside by his son, making sure that his sister couldn't hear him from this position.
Zhou Yan then whispered: "Dad, we have to buy these things early. Otherwise, we may not be able to buy good ones if we are in a hurry. In a few years, my sister will marry to the Yu Mansion, and she will marry into a wealthy family." Medicinal materials are indispensable in a daughter’s dowry. Let’s buy some when we find good ones now, and we will slowly look for others.”
Zhou Bang originally insisted on leaving. In his opinion, buying such a carrot-like thing for one hundred and twenty taels was not worth it at all.
But when I heard my son's words, I didn't understand why he had to give away medicinal materials when marrying his daughter, but his daughter had to have what other people's daughters had.
After thinking about it, Zhou Bang understood, isn't it just one hundred and twenty taels? Their family is not short of this little money.
When the father and son came back, Zhou Bang looked at the shopkeeper.
"Do you have anything better than this in your shop? If so, take it out and have a look."
Zhou Yu was a little curious as to what her eldest brother had told her father. His face changed so much that she almost didn't recognize it.
Mrs. Lian was actually heartbroken. The couple had similar ideas, but seeing that the child's father had already agreed, they didn't say anything more.
"That's all for now. There was a batch of good goods in our shop the day before yesterday, but they were bought by the steward of Prince An's Mansion."
As soon as he heard that the good ones had been bought by Prince An's Mansion, Zhou Bang felt that the ones on the table were not the best, and he immediately became anxious.
"Next time if there are any good medicinal materials in your shop, please let someone go to our house to tell them. As for what is on the table, you can calculate how much money I want, and they will be sent to my house later. "
At this moment, even Mrs. Lian feels like she almost doesn’t recognize him anymore. Is this still the father of a child?
Zhou Yu also felt that her father's reaction was wrong, but Zhou Bang felt good about himself.
"I wonder where my master is?"
"The Anping County Prince's Mansion is facing An Street."
The shopkeeper really didn't expect that the family in front of him would be the one that everyone in Kyoto City was talking about hotly during this period.
"It turns out to be the county prince. I'm so stupid that I didn't see it. Please forgive me."
Zhou Bang waved.
"It doesn't matter, you can calculate how much money these are, but remember that next time you have good goods, you must have someone come to our house to tell us."
"Don't worry, Prince. As soon as good goods arrive, I'll go to my house and let you know."
This time Zhou Bang felt relieved.
The shopkeeper used an abacus to calculate the prices of the medicinal materials on the table one by one. Of course, the value was 20% lower than when sold to ordinary people.
"Your Majesty, the total is three thousand eight hundred taels."
Zhou Bang's heart trembled when he heard the price, but thinking of his daughter, he waved his hand proudly.
"Brother Yan, pay the money."
Zhou Yan responded, took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket, counted thirty-eight of them and handed them to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper put them into his arms without even counting them.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will ask my assistant to deliver these medicinal materials to the Prince's Mansion later."
When the family of four came out of Tongjitang, Zhou Yu couldn't help but try his hand on his father's head. He didn't have a fever.
"Daughter, what are you doing?"
"Dad, you don't have a fever, why did you buy so many medicinal materials?"
"Didn't you say that our house is short of medicinal materials? It's okay to buy more. Let's go. Go buy whatever you want. It's getting late today."
Zhou Yu didn't think much about it, and then visited several shops. Finally, he was tired, so his family returned to the Prince's Mansion.
When they arrived at the door of the house, they saw Butler You waiting.
"Prince, Grandma Hua has been waiting in the front yard for a while."
"Did you tell me what it was for?"
"Go back to the county master, this servant doesn't know."
The couple returned to the front yard anxiously, not knowing what happened to Aunt Hua.
Aunt Hua didn't know it when she arrived at the mansion yesterday. She only found out this morning that the prince's family actually lived in the front courtyard and the main courtyard. This was against the rules at all, so she came to the main courtyard early to wait, but Unexpectedly, it took me only a long time to see a family of four come back.
As soon as the family of four entered the hall, they saw Aunt Hua standing straight and waiting. She wouldn't always stand waiting, right?
"Mommy, what's the matter with you?"
Aunt Hua waited until the four members of the family were seated and greeted each other before you answered Zhou Yu's words.
"County Master, I'm sorry to hear you say this. It's not polite for you, the Crown Prince, and the Princess to live in the same courtyard. I also asked the Crown Prince to choose another courtyard in the outer courtyard. The County Lord will go to the inner courtyard to choose one." place."
The couple breathed a sigh of relief, thinking it was some big deal, but it turned out to be this.
"Mommy, when we moved to the house two days ago, Butler Li had already told us about this. It's just that the house has been undergoing major renovations in the past few days, and all the courtyards except the main courtyard are under renovation. Without the yard where we live, we can only make do with it now.”
Aunt Hua didn't know this, and she frowned. She knew that the mansion was undergoing major renovations, but she didn't expect that the entire courtyard would be started at the same time.
"When the courtyard is repaired in a few days, the prince and the county lord will be asked to move out of the main courtyard. If outsiders find out about this, they will definitely blame the county prince's palace."
"We know. When the yard is repaired in a few days, my brother and I will move out."
In fact, all the courtyards of the county prince's palace are undergoing major renovations. What Zhou Yu said is absolutely correct. The fourth prince has passed away for more than ten years. In the past ten years, the house has not been repaired much. Not to mention anything else, just the roof. Some of the tiles on the roof have been broken into several pieces, which is quite dangerous.
So when their family just moved to the Prince's Mansion, they asked Butler You to arrange for the courtyard to be repaired. The first thing was to turn over all the tiles on the roofs, and then to renovate the designated courtyards, leaving the rest It just needs to be refurbished.
Although the project is not big, it does take time to complete, at least ten days and a half.
the next day.
Before dawn in the morning, Zhou Yu was still lying in bed when he was woken up by the new maid Ye'er.
Ye'er is thirteen years old and pretty, and her name was given by Zhou Yu.
The main courtyard couldn't afford so many people. Of the six selected by Zhou Yu, only Ye'er was kept, and the other five were sent to other places to help. She would wait until one day to move to the courtyard and call them back.
As for why he chose Ye'er out of the six, it was just that when Zhou Yu saw the six of them eating, Ye'er ate the most delicious food among them and could eat the best with her, so he chose Ye'er.
"It's time for the County Lord to get up. Mother Wu said that Aunt Hua asked Mao Shizhong to learn the rules. If the County Lord is late, Aunt Hua should punish her."
Zhou Yu heard that it was the first and the second big, so why didn't he learn the rules? Should he do it so early?
But no matter how unwilling she was, she had to get up. After packing, she went to find her mother. Mother and son went to the flower hall of the main courtyard together.
Aunt Hua was already waiting in the flower hall. When she saw the mother and daughter coming over, she first saluted them and then started teaching them the etiquette they were going to learn today.
"Today we will learn from the very beginning of standing."
Then Aunt Hua first demonstrated it once, and then asked the two of them to do what she just did.
In the past, Mrs. Lian had to work all the time, and the bones in her body were hardened, and her posture was far from the standard of Grandma Hua.
However, Zhou Yu surprised Grandma Hua. She only demonstrated it once, and Zhou Yu performed the movements she just demonstrated perfectly in just one time.
