Chapter 519 Something big happened
Xia Zihan didn't dare to buy more. The house was not big. If he bought too much, the servants would have no place to live. After they got married, they were going to live in the village, so the house would be empty here.
"Nuan Yu, these three colorful embroidered butterflies flying Kang screens are good. Use them to add makeup to Yue Jin."
In the blink of an eye, it was the day of Hua Snake's wedding. Xia Zihan was in his warehouse, choosing gifts for Yue Jin.
"Master, this kang screen was embroidered for you by the second girl of the Dou family, saying it would be for you to put on the kang head." Nuanyu hesitated and told her.
Oh, it’s been a few years, she remembered this, but she didn’t like to use a kang screen on the head of the kang, so this kang screen has been kept in the warehouse. As time went by, she forgot the pattern of the kang screen. It turned out to be this ah.
Xia Zihan looked at the Kang screen carefully and said, "Then choose something else."
This was embroidered by Dou Er stitch by stitch and given to her. She could not give it to anyone else.
Finally, Xia Zihan gave Yue Jin the six floor-to-ceiling screens that Fourth Master Zeng had given her for makeup.
Those gifts made her feel a little overwhelmed when she saw them. She planned to give them all away to add makeup to Nuanyu Nuanxiang and others when they got married.
Yue Jin saw the screen and liked it very much, "This is Shu embroidery, it's really beautiful. Shu embroidery is rarely seen in the capital."
"As long as you like it." Xia Zihan smiled.
"I like it. There is also a screen in my slave's dowry. It is also Shu embroidery. It was purchased by my wife for my slave." Yue Jin said.
Yuejin got married from An Guogong's mansion and was taken back to Hua She's house by Hua She's wedding team. Hua She had no parents, only two masters, Chu Xuanyu and Zhuo. When the couple worshiped Gaotang, they were the ones they worshiped.
Not many people came to attend their wedding, and they were all servants of the Chu family. In addition, Xia Zihan brought several of his maids and several stewards of the Chu family.
Several of the emperor's secret guards also came secretly, but after delivering the gifts, they left without eating. However, the fox brought fifty people down from the mountain to help. When Hua Shen's wedding was over, the fox was not there either. Instead of going up the mountain, he stayed in Anguo Gongfu to teach the twins martial arts.
On the fourth day of Hua She's wedding, the couple went to Zhuangzi to train people for Xia Zihan, leaving three servants to guard their small house.
By the beginning of April, all the trees on Zeng's hilltop had been cut down, and even the saplings had been planted. Manager Zhang also helped sell all the trees for a total of 116,000 taels of silver.
It cost more than two thousand taels to buy saplings, artificial fertilizer and other expenses also cost one thousand taels, and the remaining amount was 112,800 taels.
Of the 800 taels of silver, Xia Zihan left 200 taels of silver to Manager Zhang and 300 taels of silver to Chen Zhuangtou as daily expenses on the mountain.
She rewarded the remaining three hundred taels of silver to more than a hundred workers who had been busy for more than a month, and each of them received just two taels of silver.
This group of workers were all invited by Manager Zhang. Their foreman had a good relationship with Manager Zhang. When they came, the foreman took advantage of Manager Zhang and took two cents less from each worker a day.
Originally, they worked for others, and their daily wages were twenty cents. Now, they only have eighteen cents, and their monthly wages are five hundred and forty cents, which is not even one tael of silver. However, Xia Zihan This employer is a good one. Not only does he provide them with three meals a day, but he also provides them with meat and white steamed buns, so that they can eat well, drink well, and work energetically.
In addition, after the work was done, Xia Zihan rewarded each of them with two taels of silver. They all knelt down with joy and kowtowed three times to Xia Zihan's manager Zhang in gratitude. You know, their monthly salary was only half a tael of silver, but Xia Zihan rewarded them with 2 taels of silver, which was more than three months' salary. Such a good employer is rare.
The foreman secretly grabbed Manager Zhang's hand and said, "From now on, if the princess has work on her hands, you must do it for us. The princess has given them such a great kindness, and they are still waiting to repay her."
"Don't worry, kid. If the county wants to find someone to work for in the future, I will definitely come to you first." Manager Zhang patted him on the shoulder and sent the group of workers away.
Steward Zhang received a reward of two hundred taels of silver, and went to the restaurant with Chen Zhuangtou and several other stewards to have a good meal.
Xia Zihan gave all the remaining 112,000 taels of silver to the Zeng family. After changing hands, the Zeng family gave 50,000 taels of silver to Cui Erguo, asking him to buy some properties for the Chu family.
Of the remaining 60,000 taels of silver, she kept 30,000 taels of silver in her hands, planning to buy some good things and keep them as dowry gifts for her great-grandchildren.
The other thirty thousand taels of silver were planned to buy a dowry for Xia Zihan.
Butler Cui took 50,000 taels of silver, brought a few escort boys, and sent four secret guards to him with Xia Zihan, and then left the capital and went to some surrounding cities.
Ten days later, Butler Cui hurried back and brought some news to Xia Zihan.
This time, Butler Cui went to Huaihe City, which is adjacent to Huaihe City, and planned to buy some shops in Zhuangzi. By chance, he heard in the teahouse that a big event had just happened in Huaihe City in the past two days.
Mr. Ma, the largest and richest landowner in Huaihe City, started a lawsuit and beat someone to death in the street. Mr. Ma was arrested by the government officials.
The three generations of the Ma family are all single generations. When it came to Mr. Ma's generation, Mrs. Ma gave birth to five daughters in one go, but she did not give birth to a son.
Master Ma was unwilling to give in, so he married more than ten concubines, but all the children he gave birth to were daughters. It was not until Master Ma was forty years old that one of his newly married concubines gave birth to a son.
This son was immediately recorded in Mrs. Ma's name and raised as his legitimate son.
This young master of the Ma family has become the only heir of the Ma family. The people of the Ma family take this seriously. It is easy to imagine that this child has been raised crookedly since he was a child. He does not do serious things and spends all his time fighting cocks and walking dogs. , drinking and escorting prostitutes.
This time, in order to compete with the eldest son of the Huaihe Chengguo County magistrate's family for the right to win the top card of Wanhua House, the two started fighting.
Mr. Guo has some three-legged cat skills, and he kicked the young master of the Ma family away with one kick.
It happened that Mr. Ma was taking people to the Wanhua Building in person, hoping to take his unsatisfactory son home and let him study hard. As soon as he entered the Wanhua Building, he saw his son being kicked and flew away. Far away, he fell on a chair, and even the chair he made acquaintance with was crushed to pieces.
Seeing that his son fell and vomited blood and was about to die, Mr. Ma was so distraught that he cried and cried on his son.
Then, the furious Mr. Ma, regardless of the situation, raised a chair and chased Mr. Guo who had already walked out of the door.
A chair was thrown on the head of Mr. Guo, killing Mr. Guo immediately.
