Li Ye returned to Changlefang. Just in front of the alleyway of his home, a small shop was being cleaned up. There was a sign above the shop, "Pei Yi Tie".
The name of this shop was thought up by Li Ye, and the inspiration came from Ping Yizhi. He also wrote the words. Although the writing was neat, it was really hard to use.
But Pei Sanniang didn't care. It was not only meaningful for her son to write a plaque, but more importantly, it would save her a few dollars.
There is also a line of big words below, 'specialized in gynecology'
After all, Pei Sanniang was only in her early thirties, and it was not convenient to treat men's diseases. In the past, she used to fool male patients in Yonghefang, selling some plasters and the like, but they were not really treating diseases.
She is not short of money either. The clinic she runs is a women's specialty clinic, which is very unique and caters to market needs. Many wealthy families will ask her to treat their female relatives.
This small shop occupies only one piece of land, with two and a half rooms, a clinic, a pharmacy, and a small warehouse.
Although Pei Sanniang's medical skills are not high, she is rich in experience. She has accumulated fourteen years of experience. She has seen all kinds of diseases and is especially good at gynecology.
This time, her great-aunt gave her fifteen ointments, all of which were extremely clever royal secrets. She could basically cure all difficult and complicated diseases. For example, Wang Jishen was able to live a healthy life just by relying on a secret recipe to remove poisons. Now Pei Sanniang
But there are fifteen secret recipes that she is really going to share.
"When is Mom's hospital going to open?" Li Ye walked in with a smile.
Pei Sanniang was surprised and happy when she saw her son coming back. She was afraid that her son would never come back.
"Is it over there?"
Li Ye nodded, "Actually, it's very simple. I just kowtow three times to a few spiritual places, then add my name in the family tree, and then it's over."
"If there is no future, I will still play ball! If anything happens over there, my father will send someone to find me, but he will not come over."
"He really won't come?"
"Don't worry, Mom! I made an agreement with him, he won't come in the future."
Pei Sanniang said angrily: "It would be best if he didn't come. I'll be annoyed when I see him!"
Li Ye didn't take his mother's expression to heart. He smiled and asked, "Mom, are you still recruiting people?"
"I want to recruit two young ladies. One will follow me to see a doctor, and the other will make medicine and look after the store. Can you advise me on what conditions are better?"
Li Ye thought for a while and said: "Actually, the price is reasonable. There are two key points. First, the young lady of our house can go back to live in her own home. Secondly, it is best to be literate."
Pei Sanniang chuckled and said, "You're contrary to what I said. In our industry, recruiting people must not be literate, otherwise the secret prescription will be leaked."
Li Ye was a little speechless. How could his old lady be as smart as a monkey? Let her do whatever she wants! What does it have to do with him?
"Mom, please find another cook!"
Pei Sanniang frowned and said, "What are you looking for from a cook? Isn't that what you're looking for?"
"Auntie is getting older, please reduce her housework!"
"Let me think about this!"
Although Pei Sanniang is reluctant, it is a good thing that her son has this intention. It is best to find a cook who only comes to cook, which is much cheaper than a housewife.
"Mom, I might have to go out for a while!"
"Go! Just come back soon."
Li Ye led the mule to his new home in the alley. The money for their new home had been paid in full. The other party gave them the land deed. With the contract signed by the three parties, they only needed to go to the government to pay the deed tax of 15 guan, and the house would be theirs.
Can be transferred.
The house is in Li Ye's name, and he plans to ask his father to transfer the ownership for him. This cheap father is not that easy to deal with.
There are seven or eight families in the alley, varying in size. The largest one covers an area of about three acres, has high walls, black tiles, and a red door. My mother said that this family seems to be officials.
The smallest household has only half an acre of land. It is Li Ye's neighbor. There is an old couple who live there. They are timid, so they asked that the house next door cannot be sold to foreigners.
At the end of the alley is the city wall, and Li Ye's new home is close to the city wall. The real dangers of this house were not told to them, and Li Ye only realized it later.
Once a war breaks out and the enemy launches a siege, usually the houses against the city walls will be forcibly demolished by the defending troops. This is the real reason why people are reluctant to buy houses against the city walls.
However, in Li Ye's memory, the Anshi Rebellion did not attack the city at all, Tongguan fell, the emperor Li Longji fled with Concubine Yang, and the rebels occupied Chang'an without bloodshed.
It was not until the Huangchao Rebellion at the end of the Tang Dynasty that the city of Chang'an was finally destroyed. That was more than a hundred years later.
Li Ye's new home has neither a red door nor a high wall, but it is much better than Yonghefang. The wall is two meters high and made of blue bricks. The wooden door is about 80% new, quite thick, with a bronze door knocker and black tiles on it.
Door head.
The front door is paved with bluestone, and two sections of thick stone are used as the threshold. There is a 50-centimeter-high drum stone on the left and right sides. The door can be protected from wind and rain. It is considered a typical middle-class house.
The door was open and Li Ye pushed it open. Xiao Hei rushed to his feet like a gust of wind and whirled around, barking non-stop.
"What's wrong, aren't you used to your new home?" Li Ye squatted down, patted Xiao Hei's head and asked with a smile.
Xiao Hei ran to the wall, turned around and barked at him twice more. Li Ye slapped his forehead and realized that he had forgotten to dig a dog hole for Xiao Hei.
That's not right! Generally, there are dog holes in courtyard walls. Otherwise, how can you dig them if you have a courtyard wall made of blue bricks?
He stepped forward and took a closer look. Sure enough, there was a dog hole, but it was blocked by broken bricks.
Li Ye found a big stone and knocked it hard several times. One broken brick was knocked off, and the other broken bricks became loose. He dug them out directly, and a dog hole appeared.
Xiao Hei jumped twice happily, rushed out and disappeared in a flash.
Li Ye stood up and looked at their new home. Their home could no longer be called a courtyard. Going forward and backward, it should be considered a small house.
The yard is not small, and is very long and narrow from north to south. It is close to the city wall on the right side. There is a stable built under the city wall. Li Ye tied his mule in the shed. The corner next to the shed is the toilet.
At the other end of the yard is the kitchen. In front of it is a well and a drainage ditch that leads to the river in the house.
Then there is a long row of houses in front, with six rooms in total. The one on the far right next to the toilet is not suitable for people to live in and is used to store sundries. The other five are actually servants' rooms and are currently empty.
Li Ye felt that their home still needed a large water tank, so he bought at least ten large tanks and placed them against the wall.
In the middle is the corridor, leading to the backyard, and behind it is their residence. In the middle is the patio, the ground is paved with stone slabs, and in the middle of the flower bed is a very old jujube tree, at least several decades old.
Trees are very important. Almost every household must plant them. Small households use them for firewood, businessmen seek wealth, and large households teach their children to be talented.
There are three large tile-roofed houses on the front, two rooms on each side, and a corridor under the eaves, connecting these seven houses. This corridor is also Li Ye's favorite place. Although it is a bit compact, it is quite interesting.
It feels like a wealthy family.
One of the three tile-roofed rooms on the front is the living room, one is the living room, which is the place for eating, and the other is the mother's secret room for dispensing medicine.
The two rooms on the left are the rooms of mother and Aunt Mu, and the two rooms on the right near the city wall belong to Li Ye. In Pei Sanniang's words, his son still wants to study and needs a study room.
"Ye'er, when did you come back?" Aunt Mu walked out of the room.
"I just came back, auntie, I'm going out right away, don't worry about lunch."
Neither Aunt Mu nor Pei Sanniang had the habit of eating lunch. It was also to take care of Li Ye that Aunt Mu made an extra lunch.
"Okay then! If you are hungry, there are steamed buns in the pot, so fill your stomach first."
"I see!"
Li Ye went back to his room, took out a pair of incense burners and iron spines, put them in a pocket, and carried them out.
The Cheng family is in Huaidefang, Chang'an, close to the West Market, not far from their old house, Yonghefang, but it is exactly the opposite extreme from Changlefang, where he lives now, and he has to go through the entire city of Chang'an.
Cheng Yaojin's grandson, Cheng Boxian, served as General Youwei and had a very good relationship with Gao Lishi. However, Cheng Boxian passed away in the 26th year of Kaiyuan, and now his eldest son Cheng Ruobing is in charge.
Cheng Ruobing was an official in the East Palace and served as the prince's general secretary. He was responsible for recording the prince's daily life. To a certain extent, he was equivalent to the prince's secretary.
Li Ye rode a donkey to Huaidefang and soon found the Cheng family. This was a large house covering an area of twenty acres, taking up half of the district. This also shows that Cheng Yaojin's high status was high.
After waiting for a while, the housekeeper walked out quickly, clasped his fists politely and said: "Excuse me, what do you want to do with my master?"
Li Ye hesitated for a moment and then said: "I bought a few items recently and found that they belong to your house. I came here to return them!"
"What is it?"
Li Ye took out the two incense burners and iron vertebrae from the bag and placed them on the steps.
"Ah! This is."
The steward was surprised and stepped forward to check, "These are the collections that were stolen from the ancestral hall back then!"
At this moment, Li Ye suddenly heard someone shouting, "Little thief, I've caught you!"
