Chapter 22 Silver
In the afternoon, the Yu family and Nuan Xiang went to the house rewarded by the emperor.
The house is located in Yuhu Hutong, East Street, the third house after entering.
It used to be the residence of a minister. When the minister committed a crime, the mansion was taken over by the emperor. This time the emperor granted Xia Zihan a title, so he also gave this mansion to Xia Zihan.
There were only some simple furnishings in the house, and when the valuables were confiscated at the minister's house, they were all moved into the treasury.
However, a few old servants who were guarding the house were left behind.
"This house was renovated just two years ago. Basically, it doesn't need to be repaired. As long as some furniture is added, you can move in directly."
Old Man You, who was guarding the gate, saw that the county lord had sent someone to look at the house, and he diligently stepped forward to explain.
The Yu family and Nuan Xiang looked carefully inside and outside the courtyard, and then carefully asked some questions about the house. After asking clearly, they went back home.
"The house is not far from here. It takes half an hour by carriage to get there. The back garden is also very large, with lakes and woods. The house is also very clean. The six servants who stay in the house are all the same. Honest people, I think they should just keep it for now. We don’t have time to buy servants right now.”
"Some of the furniture inside is old and worn out. If there were people living in it, the furniture would have to be repainted, and a lot of household items would have to be added..."
When Xia Zihan was free, the Yu family told them all about the situation in the house.
Xia Zihan thought for a while and then said, "Then let Manager Lu hire a painter to come over after my grandfather's funeral."
"We have a painter in our house. Let him come over when the time comes." The Yu family said.
Xia Zihan nodded and said, "In addition to the salary in the house, I will give him another salary, which is 20% more than the market price."
Yu Jia's expression was stunned for a moment, and his eyes suddenly became moist and a little hot when he stared at Xia Zihan.
Since the death of the old man, the county master fainted with heartbreak. When he woke up, he seemed to become sensible all of a sudden. In the past, the county lord was simple-minded, innocent, and didn't understand anything. He was really a child who didn't care about the world. The old lady was worried that the county lord was late and would be bullied when he returned to the Xia family in the future.
But the current County Lord is calm, straightforward and courteous to his servants. He is not like an eight-year-old child at all. Those older girls who have grown up with haircuts are not as smart as the County Lord.
From now on, the old lady should be relieved, right?
Just when the Yu family thought of this, they heard Xia Zihan say, "In the past few years, I will stay with my grandmother. I don't need the house over there for the time being, so I will just leave it there. After I renovate the old furniture, I want to buy some things there and rent out the house.”
The place is nice and the house is big. I can rent it for a lot of money a month.
If you rent it out, you can make more income per year.
In her previous life, before she got married, she had always been a wealthy noblewoman, and she had never known the importance of money.
After getting married, she had no money and still had Cao's mother and son to support, so she worried about making money all day long.
If she can't make any money, she will be beaten.
For five years, she was beaten and embroidered.
Only after she died once did she realize the importance of money, so earning money became one of her goals to become stronger.
From now on, no matter whether it is big or small money, as long as there is money to be made, she will not let it go.
In this life, she vowed that she would be the richest noble girl.
