The blessing of the splendid farm family is married to the world

Chapter 97 Buying Fish
After taking the medicine, Ming Su'er's face looked better, Shen Xiao handed the man over to Shen Yue, and came to the door to tell the driver: "Go to Zhang Yuan."

Zhang Yuan is where Zhang Qingya, the director of the Imperial Hospital, lived after he resigned from office. After resigning, many officials in Beijing have no money to support their descendants to live in the capital, but those old imperial doctors with excellent medical skills in the Imperial Hospital are exceptions.

In the industry of doctors, the older you get, the more skilled you are. Whenever an imperial doctor retires, dignitaries and dignitaries will be invited to their homes immediately.

As for Zhang Qingya, the head of the Imperial Hospital, no one can afford to hire him.During his tenure, he also saved a lot of money, so he bought a house in the capital, which was renamed Zhang Yuan after renovation.

Physician Zhang lives in Zhangyuan, and brings with him several talented descendants of his family. Now, the money they spend on medical treatment is almost enough for them to buy another house in the outer city.

For the convenience of people seeking medical treatment, Zhang Yuan faces the main street, which is a bit like a pharmacy and medical center, but it is more expensive than those.

Therefore, there are few people in front of the door, but if there are cars and horses stopping, it is either rich or expensive.

Zong Che rode leisurely on the horse. Before entering the city, he asked An Xu if he wanted to take a look at the scenery in central Beijing.

An Xu is not tired yet, she is also very curious about the ancient capital, so she said yes, so their carriage was not fast.

There is a raw fish shop in front, Zong Che approached the car on horseback, and said to the inside: "Fresh shops are usually located in the outer city, and the Liu's fish shop in front often sells Yangtze River shad, and the yellow croaker in Huizhou is only from their house." Best. Shall we buy two and take them home?"

When An Xu came here, he brought a lot of sauerkraut. He ate light food along the way in order to prevent his stomach from feeling uncomfortable when he ate something wrong. Hearing these fish, he immediately thought of sauerkraut fish.

"Stop and buy." She was straightforward.

Zong Che looked across the road, and there happened to be a carriage stopped at the gate of Zhang Yuan, which was further north than Liu's Yupu.

He lowered his eyes, the expression on his face remained unchanged, turned over and got off the horse to the side of the car, and reached out to help An Xu.

When An Xu opened the curtain of the car, she saw a powerful hand stretched upwards. She pushed it aside: "I don't need to support it at this height."

Zong Che pursed his lips, and put his hands behind his back.

An Xu turned around, and when he was walking towards the fish shop, he suddenly stopped, and squinted his eyes at the person who jumped out of the opposite car.

Shen Xiao helped Ming Su'er who was so weak that she couldn't even stand at the moment, and urged Shen Yue: "Come down quickly and help your cousin."

Shen Yue let out a oh, and just reached out her hand to support Ming Su'er after getting off the car, she felt that her hand was pushed down suddenly, she looked at the woman leaning on her elder brother with a breathless look, she was stunned, and then her heart surged. Aroused deep contempt.

What a noble lady of the Ming family, she would have used these shady tricks in the first place.

Shen Xiao frowned and glanced at them. Just now, although Ming Su'er's movements were not big, but the distance was so close, how could it be possible to hide from his eyes.

"Cousin, can you stand up?" Shen Xiao asked: "There are people coming and going on the street, and being watched by others is not good for our reputation."

Shen Yue hurriedly lowered her head to avoid laughing out loud.

Ming Su'er looked like she was about to cry, but she honestly let go of her hand.

Here, An Xu saw that Shen Xiao just helped the woman to stand aside for a few seconds, so the lump in her heart was not so deep.

But as soon as he separated from himself, he got into another woman's carriage. Shouldn't we have a good talk about this matter?
Zong Che called out, "Xu'er."

An Xu turned to look at him, "What did you call me?"

Zong Che said: "Xu'er, go buy fish, our carriage is blocking the fish shop's gate."

An Xu said, "I will be called sister in the future." If they are brothers and sisters, they really don't need to care about what they are called. Now that they are half a family man, they still need to pay attention to this aspect.

Zong Che didn't respond, and followed in without changing his expression.

The Liujiayu shop is really rich in varieties, including all kinds of sea bass and black fish, and even puffer fish. On the shelf next to it is the freshest water shield that goes with sea bass.

For An Xu, such a raw fish shop with a complete variety of fresh fish is like a rice bowl to a mouse.

"This and that", she took a little look to make sure which ones were fat and fresh, and she ordered seven or eight of them.

This small shop is run by a husband and wife, but it is only a small shop, but the capital of small shops in the capital is many times higher than that of ordinary small shops.

All the big families in the inner city come to buy fish from them, and it is normal to ask for more than a dozen fish at once, but for ordinary people, no one wants a lot at once.

It is skillful for them to keep the fish alive here.

Therefore, Liu's wife reminded her.

An Xu smiled and said, "My family has many relatives and friends, so these few fish are just enough to eat."

When Liu Dong's family heard this, they took the net to catch the fish.

Seven or eight alive and kicking fish were put into a straw net.

Zong Che held out his hand.

An Xu paid, and as expected, the fish was good and the price was pretty good.

A total of eight fish, more than three taels of silver.

"No wonder people often say that living in the capital is not easy." After going out, An Xu sighed.

Zong Che glanced at her and said with a smile, "Are you still short of money?"

Just as he was talking, another carriage stopped beside the shop, and a woman who looked like a servant came out.

Dress neatly and behave well.

She obviously knew Zong Che, and instead of going straight to the fish shop after getting out of the car, she stopped to greet him and said, "Zhuangyuan Lang."

Zong Che nodded slightly, ignored it, reached out to support An Xu and let her get into the car.

After walking some distance, An Xu opened the curtain and said to Zong Che, "You are well-known, but if you are not polite, it will not be good for you in the future."

No one is sure whether their life path will be smooth, so be friendly to passers-by who are dispensable.

Zong Che said: "I remember. Be kind to others."

An Xu shook his head, and inadvertently turned his head to look at the carriage. The sign hanging on the right side of the carriage turned out to be the sign of Duke Shen's residence.

It wouldn't be so coincidental.

The carriage traveled another two streets, and after turning to the inner city, it entered a wide alley, and the center of gravity was Zhuangyuan Mansion.

An Xu got out of the car at the door, and Zong Che got off his horse and walked in with her, introducing as he walked, "There are three entrances to Zhuangyuan's Mansion, and the first entrance has three gardens, all of which are exotic flowers and stones, which are still to be seen." There are two small courtyards for the guests. There are a few bungalows on the east side, which are the residences of the guards and the servants who clean the garden."

An Xu was very interested in strange flowers, but when he stopped and looked, they were all roses and tomatoes.

How do these two fit together?

Zong Che explained: "The previous owners of the Zhuangyuan Mansion are all different, so it is impossible to have any precious varieties, which are common in some flower and stone shops. After I moved in, I asked someone to move those useless ones into pots and put them in the pots. Look at the window sill at the door."

"I bought this rose from Jin Dayong outside the city. I thought you would like it, so I planted a lot of it. Jin Dayong grows various flowers and plants there. I'll take you to see it after the ten-day break."

The capital city is really rich in materials, a place where all kinds of rare treasures are collected, and everything is sold. An Xu feels like he has returned to the modern age where all aspects are convenient.

She reached out and picked a rose, the color was bright red, the petals were thick, and after twisting, there was still a lot of juice.

This one has reached the edible standard.

It had been many years since An Xu had eaten flower cakes filled with rose sauce. When An Xu thought of the delicious taste, his mouth salivated.

Zong Che's gaze stayed on her all the time, seeing her little movement of swallowing, the doting smile in her eyes almost turned into reality.

An Xu picked two more roses and said, "This rose is not bad, I'll make something delicious for you tomorrow."

Zong Che smiled and said, "Okay."

There were no servants in the front yard, and An Xu didn't feel very clearly about Zong Che's class transition. When he came to the second courtyard, five or six servants came to greet him immediately.

Only then did she clearly feel that Zong Che had become an official.

The servants called Zong Chetong the master and An Xu the lady.

Inexplicably, he wondered if he was a generation shorter than Zong Che.

Zong Che introduced these servants to An Xu. There were two middle-aged servants, Aunt Xi and Aunt Luo. Aunt Xi was in charge of the kitchen and Aunt Luo was in charge of the yard.

The other three are maidservants around the age of seventeen or eighteen, named Swallow, Parrot, and Sparrow.

She and her magpies and partridges sounded like servants of a family.

An Xu didn't expect Zong Che to be so trouble-free, and the swallow parrot can still listen. What's the matter with this sparrow, can't it be called Xiaoque or Que'er?

At that moment, An Xu didn't say anything, and gave each of these maids and servants a meeting purse. As for the guards, gardeners, and three errands who were not seen in the front yard when they came, she didn't forget, they were all called Magpies. The two partridges went to give the meeting gift.

In the house, Zong Che said to An Xu: "You rest for a while, I'll ask Aunt Xi to cook you something to eat."

An Xu said, "I'm not tired," and turned around to look at the room. The inner and outer rooms were separated by screens and antique racks. Inside was a canopy bed with a brand new bedding on the dressing table. The tables, chairs and chairs outside are complete, and there is a small tea stove on the table that can make tea.

Don't ask Zong Che, it took a lot of thought.

Let An Xu, who only planned to live in Zhuangyuan Mansion for a few days, move to the house he bought in the outer city last year, was a little embarrassed to speak.

Zong Che said: "I also prepared some clothes for you to change, but I don't know if it is suitable or not. You can try it later, and if it is not suitable, I will ask someone to change it."

An Xu nodded, "Thank you."

Zong Che took a deep look at her, turned around and said, "I'll go out first, you rest for a while."

An Xu didn't know why he was so angry.

In the kitchen, Mrs. Xi had just knocked a black fish unconscious and was about to dissect it when Zong Che walked in.

"Master," Mrs. Xi stopped her movements.

Zong Che stretched out two fingers to compare with the belly of the fish, and said, "There is fishy line here, remove it before cooking the fish."

Aunt Xi actually still didn't know how to find the fishy thread, but she didn't dare to ask any more questions, she nodded in yes.

Zong Che pointed out many inadequacies that might have been overlooked before leaving.

Aunt Xi breathed a sigh of relief, and said to the parrot and sparrow who were helping to pick vegetables and light the fire: "You all heard, we have to cook today's meal well."

The three maids in the house didn't arrange specific jobs, just which aunt needed their help.

At this time, Yanzi came in with two bundles of firewood, and whispered: "Just now, the little rotor sent a cartful of things, and said that it was brought by the lady. You didn't see, the tomatoes are not only this big," she said. Then he put down the firewood, stretched out his hands to make a big circle, and then circled his thumb and index finger to make a small circle, "There are also such small ones. They are all round, not to mention how beautiful they are."
