Chapter 118 Folks

Chapter 18

After buying the house, the Song family asked the craftsman to repair the house, level the site, paint the decoration, and remove the leaks. A few days later, the house took on a new look. The mother and son of the original owner were also virtuous, and the next day they found a place to move out.

The jujube trees outside the door have been removed, and the large stone mills in the outer yard have also been moved to the corners. In addition, new furniture and utensils have been added to remove most of the things left by the original owner.

The two peonies survived, but the caring Ye Fanggu still cut a piece of red cloth and tied it on the branch to ward off evil spirits.

After having this big house, Song Nan was in a good mood like everyone in the family. When she had a house in the capital, she felt a sense of belonging. She rented it in the quadrangle courtyard, not to mention that the landlord came to collect the rent every month, and she was always a little worried.

However, all the savings of the Song family have been almost used up in a few miles. Although the business of the four shops is good, there are about five or six taels of pure profit every day, but it has only been four or five months since the opening, and part of the money has been invested. The store's capital, taxes and so on are all calculated, but they have saved 16,000 taels of silver and spent here. The house was nearly 6,000 taels, and the abandoned yard in the remote south was rented, more than a dozen ovens were added, and eight thousand taels of gold were returned to the young master, and another 1,000 taels of congratulatory gifts was given to Jiang Bin. On weekdays, Song Nan spent money and did not keep his hand; more than 10,000 taels of silver were as clean as running water.

When Lu Qingli showed Song Nan with an empty silver ticket box, Song Nan laughed loudly.

Lu Qingli said, "Brother Song, you are still laughing. The money has been spent, and there are only a few hundred taels left. There are still 1,000 taels in the shop and we can't move. We have no money to spend."

Song Nan smiled and said, "What is making money for? Isn't it for the pleasure of flowers? We spent more than 10,000 taels of silver in a few months. Is our family a big family this time?

Lu Qingli pouted and said, "I'm out of money. There are still many unsatisfactory places in the house. Brother Niu immediately brought people from Weizhou to ask for family expenses and hire people. What should I do?"

Song Nan smiled and said, "What are you worried about? How much money can you ask for? Isn't it enough to spend hundreds of taels a day? Don't worry, money can be earned, as long as people don't lie down.

Lu Qingli is speechy. Since Brother Song is not worried, what else is he worried about? It's just that more than 10,000 taels of silver are gone at once, and there is a real pain in my heart. Compared with the past, I and my sister couldn't spend two taels of silver a month. I really don't know how they lived at that time. Now a jade bracelet in my sister's hand is enough to live for a year.

In the blink of an eye, after the ten-day vacation, Song Nan returned to work in Jinyiweiya. When hundreds of households saw Song Nan, they naturally asked questions, and there were few underground in the sky that praised Song Nan's fearless behavior that day.

Peng Wanli also took care of Song Nan, but Song Nan had nothing to say to him. This time, even thousands of other households sent gifts of condolences. As thousands of households in Zhengnanfang, Peng Wanli, his immediate superior, did not say anything.

Song Nan doesn't believe that he can't take out dozens of taels of silver, and he doesn't lack the gift money of dozens of taels of silver. He just feels that this man's mind is too profound, or too cautious; deliberately keeping a distance from him, he seems to get involved with himself, and there will be some bad luck in the future. In this case, Song Nan will naturally not force him. This kind of person is wise to protect himself and thinks that he meets the source. However, no matter what kind of conflict, the most hateful thing is the wall grass without a position. In his life, I'm afraid that the position of thousands of households has reached the end, and it is difficult to think about it again.

In the days when 'recuperation' was on leave, the world was also idle. Song Nan wanted to know the reaction of the fans of Dongchang. As a result, when asked, he was shocked. The fans and secret agents of the east factory seemed to have disappeared, and they did not rise up, let alone cause trouble. It seemed that they were obedient. Many.

Although Song Nan felt strange, she didn't think much about it. She returned to the government, took people around every day, ran west, and was also leisurely. From time to time, she ran to the station of the urban management brigade to restrain these guys from doing their easy work. After all, she had to pay hundreds of taels of silver to these people every month.

The only thing that makes Song Nan feel a little embarrassed is that every time she goes to the station of the urban management brigade, she can always see the figure of the little princess. I don't know what's wrong. The good father-in-law's mansion is not waiting, but prefers to spend on the station of the urban management brigade. She practices whip these guys every day, which makes them full of complaints and makes a separate house. If you leave early and return late, you will treat this place as your father-in-law's mansion.

The first time Song Nan saw her, she said a few good words about what happened that day. The little princess didn't say anything, but only said that the matter had passed. She was also impulsive that day. Both sides made mistakes and were even.

The little princess's plain attitude made Song Nan feel quite uncomfortable. There was an indescribable feeling of emptiness. It seemed that the little princess no longer stuck to herself and seemed to have lost something. However, Song Nan was quickly relieved and laughed at herself for becoming too **, so she left the matter behind.

On October 18, Li Daniu finally arrived in the capital with a large group of Weizhou fathers. In addition to the old couple of the Li family, there were also seven eight neighbor couples who used to live in Xiaoshiqiao, as well as several honest descendants who were close to their relatives. Song Nan was overjoyed and settled down and settled down. That night, she invited the villagers to have a big meal in the restaurant and invited them again. The villagers visited their houses and immediately stunned everyone.

"Brother Song, you have made a lot of money. I'm afraid you can't take hundreds of taels of silver in such a big house." Uncle Fang asked with his mouth open.

Song Nan smiled and said, "5,000 taels."

"My God." Everyone almost fainted, 5,000 taels of silver, and they couldn't make so much money in their lives.

Many people said: It's a pity that Song's brother actually spent so much money to buy this house, but did not lend usury! If you make money, you can eat chicken, duck, fish and meat all your life. Although the little brother is rich, this account is not good.

Everyone talked about it and was envious. At the same time, they also thought that the little brother's house must have been confused. In a house like Weizhou, there are at most 800 taels, and Song Xiaoge has suffered five times the loss. In the future, since he works in the Song family, he will help Song in this regard.

Song's mother laughed all the way. She was originally from the villagers. She lived together for five or six years, and each family was very familiar with each other. Song's mother came to the capital and missed the tightness of Weizhou. This time, so many neighbors came to work at home, and she was naturally in a good mood.

"Nan'er, my neighbors' uncles uncles and uncles came to the capital. In addition to taking good care of food and clothing, the wages can't be less, otherwise I won't follow."

Song Nan hurriedly said, "Don't worry, mother, how can we treat them badly? Not only are they not treated badly, but the wages are higher than those hired in the capital. For others, two or two a month, our Weizhou villagers are three taels a month, and all-inclusive food and accommodation are included."

The neighbors were first stunned, then applauded and celebrated, and even said that the Song family was righteous. A woman smiled and took Song Nan's arm and said, "Good brother, it's not in vain that my aunt secretly stuffed you eggs back then. My dog couldn't eat it. You were thin with a chicken when you were a child. Auntie is heartbroken."

Another woman also said, "Yes, do you remember that when you were ten years old, you relied on my bed every day and wet a few quilts."

Song Nan was embarrassed to death. While agreeing, she looked at Ye Fanggu Pinger and others as if asking for help, but saw these unrighteous people covering their mouths and laughing secretly, full of gloating.

Still, Da Niu couldn't stand it any longer and came forward to relieve Song Nan's siege and said, "Dear aunts and uncles, Nan is now a senior official in the capital. What did he do about those previous things? Before we came, we agreed that the food, drink and wages are good. They are all family members, but everyone should take care of Nan's business; Nan's brother is busy with official business, so don't distract Brother Nan.

Then everyone restrained and said one after another, "That's need to say, look."

At present, Song Nan hit the iron while it was hot. Naturally, more than a dozen men went to the oven to work and sent two women to cook food. The remaining five or six women stayed in the house to work. Cooking, cleaning, planting flowers and trees are all light work. Most importantly, Song's mother can have her original neighbors as companions, which is much less empty and bitterness.

After everyone was sent back to their residence to rest, Song Nan had the opportunity to ask about the situation in Weizhou. Li Daniel told Song Nan about his experience of going to Weizhou in detail.

Soon after Song Nan left Weizhou, a new commander of Weiwei arrived. This man is a civil official from the imperial examination and does not know martial arts. Although he is a little sour and corrupt, he is not stupid. In military affairs, he also politely discussed with Jiang Bin. Jiang Bin actually became the actual ruler of Weizhou Wei; ten in the north of Weizhou Several forts began to be rebuilt soon after the victory, and all of them had been rebuilt by May this year, and Jiang Bin was also promoted to be the commander of Weizhou. Naturally, he borrowed Mou Bin's help.

At the beginning, Song Nan was forcibly pulled into the brocade guard by Mou Bin. Jiang Bin figured out that he wanted to climb into Mou Bin's relationship. He not only did not object, but also strongly supported it. I have to say that this move was smart and quickly rewarded.

"Brother Nan, Lord Jiang has returned your letter and brought back a lot of gifts. The official road that my neighbors went to Beijing with me is still Lord Jiang's help, and he is also very polite to me."

Li Daniu took out a reply from his pocket and gave it to Song Nan, and there were two silver tickets. At a glance, Song Nan turned out to be two thousand taels.

"What's going on?" Song Nan pointed to the silver ticket.

"Lord Jiang said that he will be promoted and you will give gifts. Naturally, he will also give gifts if you are promoted to deputy thousand households. If you give 1,000 taels, he will return 2,000 taels back. He said that he still learned this trick from you in Weizhou."

Song Nan was speechless, and Jiang Bin's dark face appeared in front of him. If there was still a mutual use between him and Jiang Bin before, after fighting against Wang Dan and the joint rule of Tatan soldiers, there was already a quite sincere brotherhood between the two.

Song Nan opened the envelope and took out Jiang Bin's letter and unfolded it. There were a few lines of large letters written horizontally and vertically, just like Jiang Bin's style: "Brother Song, I received your letter. I heard that you have been promoted to a thousand households. I was very happy. I drank a few bowls of wine and almost got drunk. When my brother was clumsy and couldn't write anything, he sent 2,000 yuan as a gift, plus a captured taran horse to congratulate his brother on his rise. Brother Song, work hard. We both need to cheer up. Brother can remember the words before you leave. When will we meet in the capital and drink for three days and nights?

Song Nan put down the letter with a smile and looked at the candlelight in a daze.
