Chapter 457 A woman on the run 32
Huaihua General Zhou Huai'ang was over forty years old and was a rather burly man. He heard from his subordinates that he was an old friend of the Changfeng Escort Agency asking for an audience. He couldn't help but frown when he recalled the experience of being injured and in trouble last year.
"Didn't I already give that boy Xie Yin and place him in the Forbidden Army? Why did he come to my door again? At first I thought this boy was honest and honest. Could it be that I misjudged him? He is also a greedy person. ?snort!"
Although General Zhou was unhappy, he still let the man in. He wanted to see what the boy's purpose was!
When Lin Jiacheng handed a pair of four strange-looking things to General Zhou and explained their purpose, General Zhou couldn't help but curiously widened his eyes and looked at these iron things.
Hearing that Lin Jiacheng's own horse had been shoed like this for several months, he couldn't help but ask someone to bring the horse over for inspection.
After he saw it, he immediately rubbed his hands in excitement and asked someone to bring a horse from the mansion and let Lin Jiacheng demonstrate how to shoe the horse in person.
When Lin Jiacheng nailed iron plates on all four hoofs of the horse, which was not very skillful, and the horse walked and ran without any hindrance, even more freely, General Zhou almost laughed.
He has been in the army for more than [-] years and is proficient in bow and horse. Naturally, he is more aware than Lin Jiacheng of how much effect this iron gadget can have on horses after being installed.
At this time, Lin Jiacheng promptly presented the horseshoe drawings and said that everything would be decided by the general.
General Zhou couldn't help but take a deep look at Lin Jiacheng. It seemed that he was right to decide to meet this person today, otherwise he would have almost missed such an important thing.
Although General Zhou accepted the drawings and asked him to quit without any reward, Lin Jiacheng was still very happy.
He could see that General Zhou valued this horseshoe very much and was very happy. According to General Zhou's character of repaying kindness, if this matter comes to fruition, it will definitely benefit him in the future.
Lin Hui knew how Lin Jiacheng met General Zhou, and she was determined. It seemed that General Zhou had a good vision and could see the benefits of horseshoes. It seemed that he would not treat Lin Jiacheng badly in the future.
Although the two siblings were basically certain that their own benefits would be indispensable, they did not expect that this reward would come so quickly.
Ma Tiedi has not yet been fully promoted in the army, so the Lin family has been promoted three levels in a row, and has become a deputy lieutenant in defense from the eighth level. There is no monetary reward, but a small house in the west city.
This is really great for the Lin family!
After being promoted to the third level, the annual income will be doubled. Even though the small house in the west city is only second-class, it is difficult to buy even if you have money in the capital.
The east is rich and the west is noble, the south is poor and the north is humble. The capital has been laid out like this for many years. Although it is not absolute, it is pretty much the same. Most of the houses in the west city are the residences of powerful people and high-ranking officials. They are also close to the palace. How much? The target of slave labor for middle and low-level officials, let alone the Lin family.
He never even dreamed that he would own a house in the West City!
After being promoted, he was transferred out of his current team and went to another location. Now that he was promoted, everyone knew that he was from General Zhou, and it would be much easier to do things in the future.
These two happy events made Lin Jiacheng not close his mouth for most of the day, and kept giggling.
He also took turns picking up the two children and saying: "Cuiya, we are moving to a new home, are you happy?" He just put down the older one and picked up the younger one again: "Zhiyong, uncle is going to take you to live in a big house, are you happy?" No?"
Cui Ya could still happily respond to him, but Zhi Yong couldn't speak such complicated words and could only wave his hands randomly with excited "Ahh".
Lin Hui is also happy. Now that she has her own house, she no longer has to worry about finding a house to rent. She can just move into a new home when the time comes.
Lin Jiacheng handed over the house deed to her for safekeeping as usual, and the family couldn't wait to hire a carriage the next day to see what the new house looked like.
The house with two entrances looks quite new. It should have been repaired not long ago. Because of the shortage of housing in the capital, most of the yards are not big. The space that can cover the house is covered, so the small two-entry house can accommodate people. There are actually more than twenty rooms in the house.
Moreover, most of the rooms in the house have basic furniture. Although they may not be to your liking, it saves a lot of trouble and allows you to move in as soon as possible.
Of course, there are some areas that need improvement. Lin Hui focuses on the layout of the bathroom and shower room. You may live in this house for a long time, so you want to make it as comfortable as possible.
Another point is that there are so many houses that just cleaning them is a lot of work. Moreover, Lin Jiacheng has been promoted and needs an errand boy. Therefore, the family will probably need to buy someone, at least three or four, including men. It is enough to have women.
Of course, these are all Lin Hui's responsibility. What Lin Hui said, the Lin family Chengdu happily said yes, which made Lin Hui extremely speechless. This child is already nineteen. If it is too early to get married in the country, maybe the child will be able to It's so confusing, but he doesn't have any sense of being the master of the family. How can this be possible?
However, these things can be taught and cultivated slowly in the future. The most urgent task now is to find someone to clean up and renovate the house, and then go to the dental shop to find a suitable servant to buy it.
With Lin Hui taking the initiative, these things naturally went smoothly. The project of renovating the bathroom and toilet took a little effort when explaining to the foreman, but it was not slow to start the work.
Moreover, these craftsmen knew that people of high status lived in Xicheng, and they were particularly careful in their work, for fear that if they did something wrong, they would displease the nobles and bring trouble to their families.
The search for servants also went smoothly. Lin Hui told the dental shop about her requirements and quickly bought a family.
There are five people in this family, and the couple has three children. It is not necessarily true that they are children. Their eldest son is already thirteen, and he is half a boy and can be used as a servant.
In a family of five, the man’s surname is Yu, and they all call him Lao Yu. He is thirty-five this year. He can drive a carriage and can be used as a concierge. His wife, Mrs. Chen, can cook, so she can be a cook. She can take Lin Hui out of the kitchen. Get free.
His second son is ten years old, and his youngest daughter is eight years old. They can now do chores, play with Cui Ya, send messages back and forth, take care of the children, etc. They can do all these things.
Buying this family can basically meet the Lin family's current needs, and according to the Lin Jiacheng's current income, no matter how many servants they have, they can't afford it.
Lin Hui asked clearly why the Yu family was sold. It was because their previous head had committed a crime and was dismissed from office. When he returned home, he had to sell his servants in the capital to make ends meet, and the family was unwilling to do so. Separated, that's why I waited until now to be favored by Lin Hui.
Well, it's the master's family who committed the crime. It's not just that they committed the crime. However, they used to be the servants of officials, which has advantages and disadvantages. After buying them, they must be beaten a few times to avoid bringing in some bad habits.
