Chapter 1175 Buying a Garden
There is no distinction between officials and businessmen, and it is a taboo for officials to be officials. Jiang Muyan also read the imperial court’s newspapers with her sister, and knew that the Censor and the Ministry of Household officials had repeatedly offered advice in the early morning.
Liu Juntang’s plan is timely, but he will be questioned as unfilial. Jiang Muyan knew that Liu Juntang had a family and parents in his heart, so he must have his own considerations in making this decision. So Jiang Muyan looked at him quietly and waited for him to finish speaking.
Liu Juntang pushed the cherry in front of Jiang Muyan, “I want to give the Liu family’s family business to the second brother, we only need this house and the fertile land in Lanyang County. I will do my job with all my heart, and will not always be a small sixth-grade living man. I won’t let you worry about the lack of money at home at any time. Yan’er thinks it’s feasible to split the family like this?”
After finished speaking, Liu Juntang looked at Jiang Muyan a little nervously, waiting for her to reply. He let go of his ten thousand family wealth, could Yan’er be mad at him?
Jiang Muyan didn’t look angry at all, “Cousin Jun thinks it’s feasible, so that’s fine. But there’s one thing, cousin Jun has to explain it to his parents.”
Liu Juntang nodded immediately, “Okay, Yan’er said, I’ll do it.”
Jiang Muyan’s voice was not loud, but her meaning was very clear, “Cousin Jun is the eldest son in the family, according to the rules, we should take care of our parents. Now the second brother is still young and can’t support the family business, neither you nor I can help you. The family business in Xinzhou still needs to be managed by parents. After the second brother can support the family business, we will bring our parents to Kang An to provide for them. At that time, we must not let our parents live in a small courtyard, we live in a big house, that is unfilial. For a mansion as big as ours, we can definitely create a courtyard that will satisfy the second elder.”
“Swallow…”
Liu Juntang was born in a wealthy family, and it is not uncommon for the clan members to intrigue and fight against each other for the family business.
She gave up her family’s wealth, and Yan’er didn’t complain at all. She only remembered that she should not forget to honor her parents. How could Liu Juntang not be moved.
He couldn’t believe it, stared at Yan’er’s eyes as quiet as autumn water, and confirmed again, “Does Yan’er only want this?”
Jiang Muyan’s red lips parted lightly and her teeth were slightly exposed, “Besides this, I’m still thinking about another thing. Since cousin Jun’s family is rich and you have sent me a lot of dowry, my family has also prepared a lot of dowry for me. I have to set up a special yard to put it in. After my cousin and my second brother split up, my dowry can be smaller. The extra dowry can be reserved for my son, saving a lot of time.”
Speaking of this, Jiang Muyan spoke with ease. Dowry is a woman’s confidence, but in addition to a decent dowry, there is also the love of her father who was Fengle Anhou, her stepmother who taught her how to behave, a sister who can rely on each other for a lifetime, two direct brothers and her own. These are her strengths. With so much confidence, far more than the dowry of “no worries about eating and drinking” and “decent”, it seems too much.
If you get a wife like this, what can a husband ask for! Liu Juntang reached out and clasped Jiang Muyan’s hands, but he didn’t know what to say for a while, so that Jiang Muyan could understand his intentions.
Jiang Muyan’s heart was hot from his straightforward gaze, she drew back her hand and reminded in a low voice, “It’s not too short of time for us to come out.”
It’s clear that you haven’t said a few words yet, so how come you haven’t been short on time? Liu Juntang glanced at the sun that suddenly flew to the middle of the sky, and pleaded, “It’s noon, how about I take you home after lunch?”
Jiang Muyan shook her head gently, “It is not a trivial matter to buy this house. Cousin Jun should go back and discuss it with my father.”
Thinking of his mentor, father-in-law, who finally took hold of his little hand half a year after his engagement with Yan’er, Liu Juntang immediately woke up.
If you don’t send Yan’er back on time, you will anger the father-in-law. You can’t ask Yan’er to leave the house until you get married.
After returning to Shifeng Alley, Liu Juntang told his father-in-law that he wanted to set up a house and branch in the Daxianfang. He emphasized, “There are many members of the Liu clan, each with their own plans. After my second brother and I split up, my father and second brother can better restrain the clan.”
Jiang Erye nodded, “You have to go into an official career, but carrying too much money is a burden. After the separation, you and your second brother will help each other, which is a long-term solution.”
Liu Juntang smiled, “As you said, my second brother and I split up the family and divide the wealth without distraction, which is beneficial to each other. The younger son-in-law does not need to use money to make his career as an official. With the younger son-in-law there, no one dares to use power to bully the Liu family. , is enough.”
The son-in-law thought so clearly, Jiang Erye stopped talking, and instead asked about the house, “That house is in Baima Lane. Chen Mingshao?”
Liu Juntang didn’t expect his father-in-law to know Kang An so well, “Ding’s family lost money in business and had to sell the house to pay off the debt. That garden has been abandoned for a long time, and the youngest son-in-law only knows the master’s surname Chen, does his father-in-law recognize them?
“Naturally I recognize it.” Jiang Erye shook the folding fan lightly, “How many silver taels do they ask you?”
“The house is 25,000 taels, and the garden is 55,000 taels.” Liu Juntang explained to his father-in-law why he planned to buy a garden, “Although the garden is dilapidated, it is a big place. , hang out with friends.”
Jiang Erye nodded, “The Ding family lost money, 25,000 taels is 25,000 taels. Yuanzi’s words… Haven’t you seen Chen Shao?”
“It was done by the servants of the family. The younger son-in-law never showed up, and he didn’t let them report to the family.” Because his father-in-law was Le’an Hou Jingzhaoyin, if Liu Juntang reported to leave the house, 80% of the people in Kang’an City would look at his father-in-law’s affection. Pay less. Liu Juntang didn’t want to cause trouble to his father-in-law for something that could be solved with money.
Jiang Erye closed the folding fan, “The money to buy the garden is from the teacher…”
Liu Juntang stood up and said righteously, “How can the money to buy the garden let you go out…”
“sit down!”
Liu Juntang sat down obediently and listened to the training.
“You don’t understand the reason why money is not revealed?” Jiang Erye glared at Liu Juntang, “Four years ago, you went to Suzhou for your teacher, and you spent 200,000 taels of silver at home to hire a Guyuelou guard to protect you as a teacher. , and now it will cost nearly 100,000 taels to buy a house. Do you think no one knows that your family has so much money that there is nowhere to spend it? Remember, as a teacher, after you separated from your second brother, you are only a sixth-grade living man with a salary of less than 300 taels a year. Don’t spend a lot of money in the future. Carrying a flower!”
Liu Juntang contended, “My father-in-law’s teaching should be kept in my mind by my son-in-law and will not be forgotten for a moment. How about this? The son-in-law still has some savings. You can use this money to buy a garden for Yan’er as a dowry, and you will have the best of both worlds. .”
Jiang Erye snorted, “You don’t need to be so troublesome. You don’t need to worry about the money. You need 55,000 taels to buy a garden, but you can’t even use 30,000 taels to buy it for your teacher. There is no need to discuss this matter.”
