Chapter 537 It's not as ridiculous as grandpa said
Of course, considering his daughter and nephew, Pei Jingyang searched a few more places.
After Pei Dingsheng rushed to Mobei and confirmed that Rong Jin and the others had signed up to come to Mobei, he bought these houses at a relatively low price as quickly as possible.
In addition to these, he looked for shops and houses on West Street, South Street, and the worst-located North Street, and either rented or bought a few.
According to Pei Jingyang, the flower buds will definitely be useful. Even if they are not useful, they can be sublet or resold. Pei Jingyang, who is not good at business, has learned the trick of buying houses low and selling them high without any guidance.
As for the restaurant space, Pei Jingyang preferred the houses on East Street, which is the street with the largest flow of people.
At that time, we will improve the houses at the back and connect them together. It can be big or small, depending on how Hua Lei arranges it. Pei Jingyang told Pei Dingsheng to do everything according to Hua Lei's instructions.
Moreover, the brick kiln and timber workshops of the Marquis' Mansion have also started working. Many people have rushed to Mobei recently, but the government has not been able to make arrangements for them at once.
So while these people had not found any work to do in the government, Pei Jingyang had already brought them into his own brick kiln and timber workshop.
Of course, if these people want to leave, Pei Jingyang will not stop them. However, it will probably take another month or two for the government to arrange for these people to come. After all, many officials are still on the way.
It seems that Pei Jingyang is not as unreasonable as his grandfather said. Each and every one of these things is arranged very thoughtfully and meticulously. In Hualei's heart, she couldn't help but admire her father-in-law a little more.
After looking at the house she had bought, Hualei went to East Street to take a general look. She had a rough plan in mind. It was almost time, so she went back to the official residence in front.
Hua Lei quickly washed her hair and took a bath. It was already noon. Rong Jin was already waiting for Hua Lei in the yard, ready to meet Madam Han.
After asking Qingqi and Qinghua to carefully prepare the gifts for Pei Jingyang and Madam Han, Rong Jin, Hualei, and Zhenzhu got on the carriage and headed east.
Jiang Yunqi was on duty today, so for the sake of some secret eyes, after reporting in and choosing a place to stay, he went to the town gate to help.
In order to welcome people coming from all directions, there are people guarding the city gate twelve hours a day.
Pei Jingyang's house in the town is located in the northeast of Mobei Town. It takes about three quarters of an hour by carriage to get there. There is an area here reserved for military officers in the camp.
The people who lived here were military officers with official positions and their wives, similar to the military officers' family quarters. The place where soldiers trained and rested had to be ridden northeast for about three quarters of an hour.
After leaving the East City Gate and heading north for less than a quarter of an hour, the carriage stopped in front of a house. Rong Jin helped Hua Lei get off the carriage and entered the courtyard.
Pei Jingyang's house is also a two-story house, and the construction of the hanging flower gate is similar to the houses in the town. To the east of the house is an identical house, which was originally the residence of Lord Pei in Mobei, but now it is vacant.
To the west, there is a similar house where Pei Jingyuan lives. However, since he conquered Changling Mountain, Pei Jingyuan went to the military camp in the north, usually once every ten days. At this time, Pei Jingyuan's concubines and servants lived in the yard.
Madam Han was already waiting at the main door. It seemed that she was also looking forward to the arrival of her son and daughter.
"Mom." Zhenzhu, who was originally following beside, rushed up happily when she saw Madam Han and threw herself into Madam Han's arms.
"Child, why are you still so unstable?" Madam Han scolded her, but she also took the opportunity to hug Zhenzhu and patted her on the back.
"Mother," Rong Jin and Hua Lei stepped forward at the same time to greet her.
"You're all here, you must be exhausted, come in and sit for a while. Your father hasn't come back yet, we'll have dinner when he comes back."
Madam Han looked at her son with a smile, then looked at Hua Lei, whose hand was tightly held by her son, and answered gently.
Mrs. Han was very satisfied that Hualei took the initiative to ask to follow her son to Mobei. While talking, Mrs. Han took Zhenzhu's hand and walked into the main room first.
Several people sat down in the main room, and Hualei asked Qingqi, Qinghua and others to bring up some gifts brought from Shangjing City. Madam Han said a few polite words and accepted them.
In addition, Hua Lei also asked Qing Qi and Qing Hua to deliver the gifts for Pei Jingyuan and his concubines. Originally, as the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhenbei Marquis's mansion, Hua Lei did not need to give gifts to Pei Jingyuan's concubines.
However, the situation was special, so Hua Lei still adhered to the principle that more courtesy is better, and picked out some practical items such as goose down quilts, wool quilts, and wool sweaters from the farm and sent them over.
After a while, Pei Jingyuan's concubine also sent a maid to express her gratitude.
After sitting in the main room for about two quarters of an hour, I heard the sound of horse hooves coming from the courtyard gate. Pei Jingyang's burly figure had also entered the courtyard.
"Father." Rong Jin, Hua Lei and Zhen Zhu stood up and saluted at the same time.
"Hahaha...you are all here? Zhenzhu is here too? You guys are pretty quick. I only asked Dingsheng to wait at the city gate for a few days." Pei Jingyang said cheerfully while washing his face and hands by the well in the yard.
At the same time, he said to Madam Han, "Madam, let the maids serve the food. We are family, so there is no need to be polite. We can talk while we eat."
Madam Han nodded in agreement, and several people sat down around the dining table. Originally, Hua Lei wanted to pretend to place bowls and chopsticks for Madam Han.
However, Rong Jin pulled her and she sat directly on the chair. Madam Han looked at Hua Lei and said, "Let's eat. We have been traveling for such a long time and we are tired. The maids and the old women will take care of these things."
Pei Jingyang also smiled and said, "That's right, Lei'er, please sit down. There are not so many formalities here. You should feel more comfortable. By the way, are you used to the journey? Are you very tired?"
Hua Lei was about to speak, but Rong Jin, who was sitting next to her, took over and said, "Yes, I was very tired. I couldn't eat or sleep well on the way."
Pei Jingyang glanced at Rong Jin with some disdain. However, he did not say anything, picked up the bowl and started eating.
The dishes in the evening were very rich. It seemed that Madam Han had indeed prepared them very carefully for a long time. Moreover, the cooking skills of the cook were also very good, not worse than those in the kitchen of the Marquis' Mansion.
