"Our master's family originally bought this house for 5,800 taels, and spent a lot of money on maintenance in the past few years. Six thousand taels is really not profitable. But the master said that if the money can be replaced,
It's better to revitalize than to hang here all the time."
Yun Xi thought for a while, gave him some banknotes, and asked him to complete the contract. Although she was not very satisfied with the house, she still liked the large yard.
"I'm looking for someone to finish the several houses that are almost built, and I'm also going to put up a few kangs so that I can live in them in the future and not be afraid of the cold!"
Liu Xingzhi hired two craftsmen from the north last time, brought their families over, and arranged accommodation. Together with Liu Feng, they formed a kang team. Unexpectedly, it became very popular.
stand up.
Naturally, there are many people who have some money and are willing to enjoy it. In addition, many elderly people still think that the weather this year is abnormal, so they are willing to build a kang in case of emergency. Liu Xingzhi’s charge is not expensive, if the materials are prepared in advance
Yes, it can be done in one day. If there is no expectation, it will take several days. In this way, this business has been scheduled for three months. But no matter how the business is, my wife's affairs must be the first priority.
After buying the house, Yunxi planned to go to Madam Lu. As for Liu Xingzhi, he said that he was going to prepare things for the housewarming party. Their big house had a fire every day, and now the main room is ready for move-in, as well as the wing rooms.
It still needs to dry out, but no one lives there for the time being, so it doesn’t matter if you leave it for now.
Liu Xingzhi had already told Yun Xi about the housewarming party and repeatedly emphasized that he would handle it. Yun Xi didn't think too much about it and didn't need her help. She just had a rest.
The Lu family's house is also in the city, not too far from their shop. Yunxi didn't let Liu Xingzhi see him off. He made a cup of milk tea and held it in his arms. He drank it and walked slowly over. If the East-West Street is considered a place,
Ring Road, Lu's house is about between the 3rd and 4th Ring Road, and the other side of the city wall is outside the 5th Ring Road, so it's a bit far, but it's quite interesting to stroll along the main street.
After walking for half an hour, Yun Xi stopped in front of a house. This house was not big, and it should only be a one-in-one house. But in the capital, it would cost several hundred taels of silver.
After knocking on the door, a woman soon came to open the door, looked her up and down, then welcomed her in with a smile, and said politely: "You must be Madam Yun, my lady said that Madam Yun's temperament is completely different.
Like a country woman, if you look at her like this, some people will believe her if you say she is our lady!"
Yun Xi smiled and exchanged greetings, then followed her into the courtyard. As she expected, the courtyard was the first to enter. There was a servant's room at the door. After passing through a verandah, you reached the main room. There were several more rooms behind the main room.
It was usually a place for unmarried girls to live, but now that Mrs. Lu was the only one left, the place seemed to be empty.
The yard is a bit dilapidated. I don't think Ouyang Ming had bothered to take care of it before he came here, but it is very clean. It should have been tidied up by Mrs. Lu after she came back. But when the weather gets warmer, it will be nice to plant some flowers, plants and trees.
Seeing her coming, Madam Lu hurriedly greeted her, invited her to come in and sit down, and asked her mother-in-law to bring tea and snacks. Then she took Yun Xi's hand and said gratefully: "I wanted to come to see you, but my child
It was too young and I was worried about being frozen. I was worried about leaving it at home, so I had to ask my sister from the Yun family to come over! What happened last time, if it weren’t for my sister, I wouldn’t know what to do?”
Yun Xi saw that although her face was still a little pale, she was much prettier than last time. The child next to her was also well fed. She thought that as long as she took good care of her, there would be no big problem for both of them.
"I called my sister here mainly because I want to thank my sister for her help last time. I know that my sister is not short of money, so I asked my sister not to refuse this thing!"
After saying that, he asked the mother-in-law to bring out a box, opened the box, and revealed several books inside. Judging from the color of the books, they must have been stored for several years.
Mrs. Lu was embarrassed and said: "I actually don't know what this thing is. My father once said that if these were placed in the hands of a medical student, they would be a big treasure. He had previously wanted to have a son and sent him to study medicine.
It's a pity that I never got what I wanted. This thing has always been kept in his room. It must be just a book, otherwise it would have been wiped out by that man!"
Thinking of Ouyang Ming, Lu's expression looked a little ugly to the naked eye, but he still politely pushed the book in front of Yun Xi and said with a smile: "See if you can use it!"
When Yun Xi heard her talking about it, she felt a little excited, and she couldn't wait to open it now. This thing is really a good thing, and there are many recipes in it that she feels are very exquisite. There are four medical books in total, two of which focus on
When it comes to treating diseases, the two books focus on medicinal foods. They seem to be unique books, but they are indeed good things.
Seeing that she liked it very much, Mrs. Lu said happily: "This thing is gathering dust in our house now. Since it can catch my sister's eyes, I can just take it back!"
Yun Xi didn't refuse, "I'll take it back and make a copy of it, and return it to you in a few days. My uncle must cherish this book very much. It's good for Sister Lu to keep it as a thought!"
Hearing what she said, Mrs. Lu didn't refuse, and she fell in love with this sister even more.
The two chatted for a while, and somehow they came across the case again. Yun Xi asked curiously: "Since Ou Yangming didn't kill anyone, why was he willing to sign a confession that day?"
Lu's expression changed slightly, and then he said with a weird look: "Of course he did it, but my father was not in good health at first, and he passed away when he was excited. Before he could take action, my father went, so
During the investigation, we found that he and I did not die from suffocation, but from chest pain! But the man didn’t know that, so he thought he had killed someone!”
Yun Xi opened his mouth slightly. This is too coincidental. Chest paralysis refers to heart disease. Even modern heart disease is difficult to cure, let alone this era. I just didn't expect it to be like this. If it weren't for this, then Ouyang
I am afraid that I cannot escape the death penalty, but God is a bit blind!
"However, this matter was probably designed by my father?" Seeing Yun Xi's behavior, Lu said with an even weirder expression: "I don't want to hide it from my sister. Some time ago, my father's friend sent me some money and told me about it.
At that time, I said that my father had severe chest pain and back pain, and the doctor said he could not live for a few days. But he was afraid of being discovered by me and kept holding on, so I didn't notice it at all. Later, my father ran into Ouyang Ming and took the medicine again.
He gave the money to his mother, so he deliberately angered Ouyang Ming. He thought that he was going to die anyway, so he might as well use his death to find a way to control Ouyang Ming.
If I like Ouyang Ming, his death can become a shackles, forcing Ouyang Ming to be nice to me. If I don't like Ouyang Ming, then I can deal with it any way I want."
