Chapter 205
After listening to Mu Yun's words, Ni said gratefully: "Thank you, cousin's wife, for being reasonable. Although the words of thanks are too pale, I still want to thank you cousin."
Mu Yun waved his hand and smiled: "We are all relatives, brothers and sisters, don't say that anymore. If you continue, you will be having a relationship with me."
Yun Che is different from Jin Han. He directly pursued a foreign position. Long before the imperial examination, he had told Wen Tingzhou, his cousin. After all, he is over thirty years old now. If he started to earn a degree from a small editor in the Hanlin Academy, he would not have made great progress in his career in his life. It would be better to go to the place to be a seventh-rank county magistrate and work hard. If he is lucky, he might be able to achieve some results!
The difference between Yun Che and Jin Han is that he is a real relative of Wen Tingzhou. Therefore, Wen Tingzhou and Mu Yun both contributed to his appointment. Although he did not bring him to a prosperous place in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the area of Huizhou is good, and it is not very poor.
After the appointment letter was released, Yun Che thanked his cousin and his cousin and his wife, and then took his family and children to Huizhou to take his post.
However, Yu Fei and his wife stayed in the capital. The couple discussed buying a house in the capital and then taking the children. Even if the couple returned to the countryside in the future, they would get some change if they rented out the house here, which was better than holding it in their hands.
The Qi family is an ordinary farming and study family. Qi Rong is just a young son. The two of them have a lot of money in their hands, so they naturally cannot be as generous as the Jin family. After Yu Fei saw the house with two-enterprise courtyards that Yulan bought in Wai Nancheng, she discussed with Qi Rong and bought a house with two-enterprise house near Wai Nancheng. The calculation is enough for five or six hundred taels.
Moreover, there are many academies in the south of the capital, both in the outer and inner south of the capital, and the South City Gate is close to the Imperial College and Wenhua Academy, so it is more convenient to take the imperial examinations in the future.
After hearing their plans, Mu Yun felt that Yu Fei's cousin and his wife were both sure. He nodded and praised: "You and your cousin are both very thoughtful, and I can't help but listen. But will your in-laws want you to buy a house in Beijing?"
Yu Fei smiled and said, "My husband revealed this at home two years ago. Although my parents-in-law was a little reluctant, they were destined to live with our uncle and his family. My cousin didn't know that my uncle was also a person who studied and read since childhood, but he was just a scholar after taking the exam for many years. Now my husband is already a juren at a young age. My uncle and his wife don't say anything, but they are always a little jealous of his husband. My father-in-law also understood this in his heart, for fear that the two brothers would make a fuss about their family property in the future, so he divided the family early."
Mu Yun said for a moment, "It seems that the old man in the Qi family is still very transparent. Unlike some families, the elderly in the family always think about family harmony and everything goes well, and tie the children with conflicts together, and finally make the family uneasy. Mr. Qi has studied, it's different!"
Yu Fei nodded and replied, "Isn't that true? My father often said that his father-in-law is a sensible person. He is also a reasonable person. He is also a reasonable person. He is also a blessing. His parents-in-law are all sensible and erect, which saves me a lot of trouble."
Mu Yun thought for a moment and thought to himself that Wen Tingzhou, his cousin, was really lucky. Although he was not as rich as a great man, he had a smooth journey. He couldn't help but smile and said, "It seems that you are better off!"
After hearing this, Yu Fei disagreed: "When it comes to good fortune, who can compare to your cousin's wife!"
Mu Yun chuckled: Are you planning your fortune?
Maybe it seems to be true in the eyes of outsiders! But in order to fulfill the so-called "good fate", only she has done so much effort behind her back. Faced with Yu Fei's envy, she could only smile helplessly and skip it.
Yu Fei and his wife had a goal, and as long as they looked for the goal in their hearts, they quickly chose a two-and-a-half house in Wai Nancheng. Because they were a little farther away from the Imperial College, the price was much cheaper. A two-and-a-half house, more than a dozen houses, a well, stables and some furniture, and the house was repaired very neatly and did not require any big fuss. In total, they only cost more than 500 taels of silver.
After buying a new house, Yufei was busy decorating the new house all day long. Although the former owner cleaned up very cleanly, the house she had finally bought was always perfect. Although she didn't have to make a big move, she always had to paint the walls or paint them.
Yu Fei saw that Mu Yun had just built a big house and must have a craftsman who was familiar with this aspect, so she found Mu Yun, and Mu Yun also introduced some of the craftsmen she was familiar with to Yu Fei.
Yufei's house is not big, so she quickly packed up. It took only twenty days to finish the house, and the house was painted freshly.
Because the cost of buying a house was much less than Yu Fei expected, she was very determined to buy a brand new set of mahogany furniture for the living room of her home, and then put on a beech shelf bed and a new wardrobe. Most of the other furniture was left by the former owner or the old furniture selected in the frivolous market. Yu Fei was open-minded, but they didn't pay much attention to it anyway.
In fact, Yu Fei and his wife had nothing to move. Qi Rong's hometown is not close, and those large furniture is not worth moving here. Therefore, the two of them only bought pots and pans, and then picked up a lucky day to bring the things over, even if they moved.
On the day Yu Fei and his friends moved, Mu Yun also sent a lot of practical things over. Some people in the family gathered together with Qi Rong's classmates for a lively banquet. Even if the family had been moved, the Yu Fei and his wife went back to their hometown to pick up their eldest son, and then brought some of the soft and soft things from the house over, even if they were officially settled in the capital.
It just so happened that Mu Yunkai’s academy is dedicated to enlightening children aged three to eight. To put it bluntly, it’s a kindergarten.
Recently, a gentleman in the academy was preparing for the autumn exam this year and wanted to quit his job. Mu Yun talked about this matter to Yu Fei, and then chuckled: "Go back and ask your brother-in-law what he meant and see if he would like to take on this job."
Yufei had heard Yulan talk to her about her cousin’s enlightenment academy. Yulan told her that the teacher in the cousin’s college had a juren who had a juren’s status as a juren and had a full 10 taels of silver per month. She also had a lunch meal every day, and also distributed a certain amount of pen, ink, paper and inkstone to each teacher every month.
Yu Fei is naturally willing to do such good conditions, so she shouldn't be stupid. She responded quickly: "What's wrong with this? Of course she is willing!"
Mu Yun said with a funny look: "Don't rush to nod, your brother-in-law is a juren after all. You have no investment in your family, and I don't know if he is willing to do such a thing."
There is a reason why Mu Yunhui said this. The literati in Dayuan are generally very noble and disdainful to go out to earn money. She has seen many literati wives, and they are basically their women who support their families. The husbands just need to study. Those families are very pedantic.
Even if some juren are willing to teach, they will only choose academies with a relatively famous reputation. She only teaches children, and many juren feel that it is useless. Until now, there is not even a juren in her kindergarten! Most of them are scholars and children.
Yu Fei smiled and said, "Don't worry, my husband is not that kind of scholar who is waiting for sourness. He even mentioned this to me. But I heard from my cousin that my cousin's college has no shortage of gentlemen, so we have no words. Now that we have such an opportunity, we are naturally disrespectful."
Hearing this, Mu Yun smiled and said, "Since that's the case, I'm relieved. The affairs in the Enlightenment Academy are managed by cousin Yunfan. Tomorrow, you can ask your brother-in-law to go and discuss in detail with cousin Yunfan."
Upon hearing this, Yu Fei nodded quickly and agreed. She estimated in her mind that although the amount of ten taels of silver per month was not large, it was enough for the family's monthly grain and oil expenses.
Although the prices in the capital are high, the price of embroidery is also good. She sells small screens of three or four taels of silver in the countryside, and can sell them here for eight or nine taels. In this way, with her monthly embroidery income, the money is enough for the family's daily expenses, and the rent in her hometown can be saved for emergencies. In the future, there will be more places for her son to study and read, her daughter to save dowry and other money!
After returning home, Yu Fei told her husband about this matter. Qi Rong smiled and said, "I'm thinking about finding a living for the past two days. It's not easy to live in a large city, so I can't live like this. It's a coincidence that I have such a good job. Thanks to my cousin's wife, we don't mind being poor relatives, and we are willing to help us."
Yu Fei glanced at him: "Don't look at who is his cousin's sister-in-law! Do you think everyone looks like the cousin's sister-in-law of your uncle's family, but her eyes grow into the sky! Even if my cousin's sister-in-law is not a daughter of an official, she is from the Duke Cheng's house and has a good relationship with the princess and the princess. Now she is so rich and never pretends to be arrogant, but she helps us everywhere. You must know that my cousin is not so good. Even if she doesn't do some things, we can't complain about anything, but she is always so careful and considerate and wants to be ahead of us everywhere. Having such a cousin is always lucky in my life! If I want me to tell you, my cousin took her, she has a very good vision."
When Qi Rong heard his wife praise Mu Yun like this, she followed her to make fun of her and said, "I marry you, won't you benefit from it!"
Mu Yun didn't know what Yu Fei and his wife said about her. She was reading a court residence newspaper at this time. A news on it caught her attention. The court intended to reopen Feng'an County, which was closed due to the rebellion of King Pingjiang and the invasion of Luo Pi, a few years ago. Now it is asking local officials to check the local situation.
Shan Jingyan’s sea trade business was intercepted. Isn’t this a new business opportunity?
Although according to Mu Yun's original intention, she was unwilling to involve these storms such as fighting for the throne, she had to do some things. If she did nothing at this time and did not do enough of her own efforts, then why should she enjoy the glory when she got straight to Qingyun in the future? Even if she didn't think about herself, she would always think about the future of the children.
Thinking of this, Mu Yun went straight to the Jin Palace without hesitation and asked to see Shan Jingyan, and explained his purpose.
After hearing her words, Shan Jingyan was a little surprised. She raised her eyebrows and asked, "Is this what you mean or what your husband means?"
Mu Yun smiled and said, "Since it is my opinion, it is naturally my humble opinion. Even if the Empress does not take it seriously, it is my intention to help the Empress develop some ideas."
Shan Jingyan picked up the newspaper and chuckled, "You really gave me this wish in time. I think you know that. It seems that my own people know that I feel sorry for me and are willing to spare no effort to help me."
Mu Yun quickly replied, "My lady, don't misunderstand me. I haven't investigated you. I was worried that you and my husband had mentioned it. My husband was afraid that I would ask about the storm and waves outside, so he told me." As he said that, Mu Yun smiled sly: "Aren't I fighting for the sake of hugging my thighs?"
After hearing this, Shan Jingyan sneered and said, "You can say it!" Then she said, "To me, you are not an outsider. I didn't mean to hide it from you. But I know you have never loved these things, so I simply didn't tell you, so I can't tell you anymore, so I can't worry about you."
This is really what Shan Jingyan said in her heart. Even Prince Ke was involved in the Haimao incident, so she really couldn't say it to Mu Yun.
But Mu Yun's performance today really made Shan Jingyan look at her with admiration. In the past, she only thought Mu Yun was a little clever, but she never thought that her vision was so broad.
Those casual ladies and ladies only saw the land in front of them. Apart from their inner house, at most, the human relationships and worlds in their social circles. Mu Yun was the first time she met a woman who would read the imperial palace report besides herself!
Shan Jingyan suddenly felt that Mu Yun had a broad vision and could not regard her as the inner brides in Beijing.
