Yang Haiyan also jokingly helped Yang Xihua up: "Mrs. Han, there is no need for courtesy."
Then, the two looked at each other and smiled.
The Han family entertained guests in the guest room, and Yang Haiyan was welcomed in by Yang Haiyan. Yang Haiyan asked, "Is Fubao sleeping?" Fubao was the nickname of Yang Haihua's daughter, which Yang Haiyan had given her.
Yang Huahua said: "No, it's not like that. He woke up early this morning and fell asleep again now. This child loves to sleep. All he does is sleep and eat."
Yang Haiyan said: "It's a blessing to be able to eat." And having something to eat is also a blessing. Now Han Zhen's promotion to the captain of a thousand men is a sure thing, so this child will not suffer in the future. After all, the captain of a thousand men has eight taels of rice per month. And this is the daughter of the male and female protagonists. In the novel...
It doesn't matter if she doesn't mention the novel. After all, she and Qin Fang will leave here in the future. Whether the male and female protagonists will continue to follow the story has nothing to do with her, and their story should not involve Qin Fang. Yang Haiyan talked about the main point of this visit: "Sister Hua, you should also know that we will move out in half a month."
Yang Huahua knew about it yesterday. Han Zhen came back yesterday and told her about him and Qin Fang. She was happy that Han Zhen got promoted, but she was a little sad that Haiyan and her family were moving away. She and Haiyan got married here together, and neither of them knew anyone. It was good for them to get along with each other as sisters, and their husbands were good friends. But in the blink of an eye, they were moving away.
Yang Hua said: "I know, but I don't know when we will meet again."
Yang Haiyan smiled and said, "Life is long, there will always be a time to meet each other." When they are old, they will go back to Baili Village, maybe they can see each other again. At least Han Zhen is old and will want to go back. Qin Fang is also a nostalgic person, so he will naturally go back. Maybe they can see each other again in the future. But I don't know what the scene will be like when the time comes.
Yang Haiyan collected her thoughts and said, "Sister Hua, I came here this time to ask you if you have any plans to take over my shop and manor."
Yang Xiyan's interest was moved: "I am interested in the shop. Although I don't know how to make snacks, I can do other business with a shop. As for the manor, I have never seen your manor. If you want to do it, how do you plan to do it?" After all, Haiyan's manor should be growing something.
Yang Haiyan said: "The manor has a total of five acres, with five piglets. The rest of the chickens and ducks will be moved over after I settle them down. The other crops will have to wait until the harvest. The remaining one acre of apple trees and one acre of pear trees will also be moved over." Because if nothing unexpected happens, Qin Fang will not be able to move in the next few years, "That is to say, I will sell the five acres of land and five piglets to you later."
Yang Huahua thought about it. Since last August, the crop business of Haiyan Manor has been very good. She was quite tempted, but she didn't have the money to buy land and build a manor. Now she asked: "Haiyan, do you still have some broccoli, cauliflower, watermelon, and tomato seeds?"
Yang Haiyan said: "I bought the seeds from the peddlers. I bought less last year because I was unsure, so I planted all of them. As for the seeds collected from fruits and vegetables, it's the first time for the old farmers in the field to come into contact with them, so I don't know whether these seeds can be cultivated. I originally thought that it doesn't matter if there are no seeds, because there will be a market this year and the peddlers will come."
In fact, she never cared about seeds at all. However, when Yang Xihua asked, she couldn't say she had them. Because she bought the seeds from the platform, and there were none outside. If she told Yang Xihua that she had them, she would have to buy them from the platform. If there were seeds this year, she could say they were bought last year, but what about in the future
Yang Xihua said: "Yes, I forgot. There will be a market next month. I can buy seeds then."
Yang Haiyan thought, there won't be any seeds then. "Sister Hua can buy some seeds later and grow different varieties of vegetables."
Yang Xihua: "Haiyan, I need to think about this. If I buy your shop and manor, plus the piglets, how much money will it cost in total?"
Yang Haiyan said, "The snack shop and the yard at the back cost a total of 350 taels. The manor has five acres of medium-sized land, which is a total of 350 taels. The yard inside the manor and the fence also cost 350 taels. In other words, the manor cost 650 taels. The piglets cost 200 wen each, so the total cost is 105 taels."
Yang Huahua calculated that they only had 200,000 taels of silver in their home, which was not enough to buy a shop. "Haiyan, give me a day and I'll come to see you tomorrow, okay?"
Yang Haiyan said, "Of course." After a pause, she continued, "Sister Hua, if you are short of money, I am not in a hurry. You can give me the money when you have more money."
Yang Hua was indeed short of money and didn't dare to buy these things, but she didn't want to owe money, after all, Haiyan and her family were moving out soon. "I understand, I'll discuss it with my husband."
Yang Haiyan stood up: "I'm going back now. There are still a lot of things waiting for me to pack at home."
Yang Hua: "Okay."
After Yang Haiyan left, Yang Huahua thought for a moment and went to find Mrs. Cui nearby: "Sister Cui, I have something to do and need to go out for a while. Can you come and help me look after the child? The child is asleep now."
Mrs. Cui: “Hey, here I come.”
Yang Hua left the family room and went directly to the bank.
The bank owner asked enthusiastically, "Madam, do you want to deposit or withdraw money?"
Yang Huahua asked somewhat embarrassedly: "Shopkeeper, I want to ask, can you lend me money?"
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Of course, you can, but you need a guarantor. Of course, if you have property, you can also mortgage it. If the person has status, we can also consider it. But I don't know what kind of situation you are in?"
Yang Xihua was a little nervous when she first came, but seeing that the shopkeeper had a good attitude and heard that he didn't look at her strangely when he asked her to borrow money, she gradually calmed down: "I can use the land and the shop as collateral." She could discuss it with Haiyan, transfer the manor and the shop to her first, and then come here with the land deed and the shop's title deed to mortgage them.
When the shopkeeper heard that the man had property, he became more willing to talk to him: "The land and the shop can be mortgaged, but according to the rules of this place, the mortgage price of the land and the shop is different from the normal price, so I have to give you a discount."
Yang Xihua also understood this. Although she had never come to the bank to borrow money, she still knew some of the rules. "How much discount do you want?"
The shopkeeper saw that she was easy to talk to, so he was willing to continue the conversation. He was afraid that some customers would be difficult to deal with, so he was not willing to talk. "80% discount. If your shop and land are worth 100 taels of silver, then you can only lend us 800 taels as collateral."
Yang Huahua calculated that the money he mortgaged was not enough to buy the land and the shop: "If I have status, how much money can I borrow?"
The shopkeeper said, "It depends on your status. If your family owns land, a shop, or other status, the amount of money you can borrow will be even greater. May I ask, madam, where is your family?"
Yang Xihua asked: "If I were a captain, how much money could I borrow?"
The shopkeeper was a little surprised. The captain was a seventh-rank soldier, so he could borrow a lot. However, "May I ask, madam, what is your relationship with this captain? If you are close, you can borrow a lot of money. If you are a distant relative, you can borrow less money unless you guarantee each other."
Yang Xihua said frankly: "It's my husband."
The shopkeeper listened and assessed Yang Xiaohua's family situation from her words. She had property and a shop, but she didn't have enough money. Her husband was a captain and a soldier, so it was safer. So he said, "I can borrow 200 taels, but I need someone from the captain to write a receipt."
Yang Xihua thought for a moment and asked again: "How much is the interest?"
Yang Xihua was a person with a lot of ideas. She asked the shopkeeper what she wanted to know and left. She had to discuss this matter with Han Zhen. She just came to find out the situation first. This bank was a legitimate bank and the interest rate was also the market rate, so after asking clearly, Yang Xihua was tempted, but she still had to go to the military camp.
Qin Fang is busy with the barbarian affairs now, so the eighth district has been handed over to Han Zhen for training. In addition, Han Zhen is on night duty this month, so he will not be back in the near future. Therefore, Yang Hua had to go to the military camp.
After returning home, Yang Hua said hello to Mrs. Cui and asked her to look after the children before going to the military camp.
At the same time, Yang Haiyan had already bought the manor.
Because Yang Haiyan came suddenly and did not ask Uncle Hong to greet her in advance, there were only the cowherds in the manor. If they had greeted her in advance, the cowherds and their wives would have come together to receive Yang Haiyan.
Niu Xi bowed and said, "Greetings, Madam. Why are you here today?"
Yang Haiyan said: "Niu Xiao, I have something I want to discuss with you. Let's talk inside."
Niu Xi said, "Yes." But he felt a little nervous. For a man of his status, he didn't know what his wife wanted to discuss with him.
After entering the house, Uncle Hong was guarding the door while Yang Haiyan brought Nanny Lian and Niu to discuss business.
Because they were in a hurry, Yang Haiyan said directly: "Niu, we will move in half a month. My husband has been promoted to the fifth rank of Wude General and will be transferred to another place, so I want to ask you if you are willing to leave with us.
Of course, don't rush to answer, listen to my conditions first. I don't know where my husband will be transferred to yet, but if it is a relatively far place, I can give you a month's vacation every year. If it is a nearby place, I can give you five days of vacation every month.
If you are reluctant to be separated from your family, you can bring your family with you, and your family can be responsible for my manor. Of course, if your family goes there together, I will give you a monthly allowance of one or two taels of silver, which will be recorded in your account, and I will also subsidize your food expenses of two hundred coins per month. "Their family now earns seven hundred coins a month, but they eat their own food. If they go there, it will be doubled. "At the same time, you can take a small piece of land from the manor for your own cultivation." In this way, they don't have to worry about food.
