Chapter 38 Agreement
Xu Erqian felt uncomfortable looking at it, "You can make some clothes for her later. Meng Sangpo was here before, and her clothes were cleaner than other children in the village even if they were patched. Meng Sangpo has been gone for half a year. I I saw her wearing the same clothes several times, and the cuffs were all one section too short. After all, men are not as careful as women, and no matter how good her master is to her, there will inevitably be things he cannot take care of."

Zhe nodded frantically, "You're right. In the past few months, without the county magistrate to collect information, my family has accumulated a lot of money! I'm worried that a new county magistrate will come to settle accounts with us, but I don't dare to use it! Now that we have some money at home, at worst we can use money to offset it.

However, the clothes Huang Ye wears are all men's clothes, and the materials are given by the Major General's Mansion. I don't use such good materials here, so I might as well make her some dresses and clothes for a big girl. "

Zhe seemed to have thought of something and was embarrassed to speak, so she turned around and went to calculate the ingredients at home.

Early the next morning.

Huang Ye went out carrying some things and grabbed a handful of children when she met them on the road. Before she reached the village chief's house, there was already a string of diced radish trailing behind her.

The village chief saw her coming and hurriedly greeted her.

Huang Ye stood at the door and waved his hand, "Uncle Village Chief, let's just talk here. This is a New Year's gift for you."

"Why are you so particular? We don't have so many rules in our village! What's going on? Is something wrong?"

The village chief knew Huang Ye's temperament. This girl sometimes seemed heartless, but she was very particular. She was still mourning during the Chinese New Year, so it was absolutely impossible for her to hang around the village without anything important, and she even ran to him.

"It's like this. I may have to leave Pucheng with my master after the year. The sky is so big and I can't say where I will settle down in the future. So I want to ask Aunt Zhe to help me look after the house and pay homage to Meng Sangpo's family. The reason you are here to say this is to ask some people to bear witness for us, so as to prevent the villagers from whispering behind our backs." Huang Ye explained his purpose clearly in one breath.

When the village chief heard this, he was envious and sighed, "Okay! Okay! Meng Sangpo said before that you wanted to leave Pucheng. Everyone thought it was impossible and took it all as a joke. I didn't expect you to actually do it! Leave well, It's good to leave! It's just that you, a girl, have to be careful and keep an eye on everything outside.

No matter how kind your master is to you, you still can't listen to everything, you have to learn to make your own decisions."

He has seen how much Huang Ye has done for the village over the years. Apart from other things, the fact that each villager who participated in collecting herbs and hunting received 25 taels was enough for the village chief to be grateful to Huang Ye for eight lifetimes, so he babbled. After reading the experience of many people who have been there, it can be seen that he cares about Huang Ye as his own junior.

Huang Ye thanked him again.

After the village chief finished speaking, he shook his head mockingly, "Look at me! I won't stop talking! But what my uncle told you is true. You are a smart girl, you will definitely understand!"

Seeing that Huang Ye refused to come in, the village chief had no choice but to go in with his things and asked his family to move out tables and stools. The village chief's wife made Huang Ye a bowl of hot tea and sat at the door to talk to her.

The village chief worked very efficiently, and soon a group of villagers arrived, including Aunt Zhe's family.

Huang Ye spread out the paper and pen he brought and wrote down the agreement between the two companies in four copies. She and the village chief Zhe each kept one copy, and the other copy was sent to the county government or the Major General's Mansion. This way, it would be formal to stop any gossip. .

After the document was drawn up, Huang Ye took out a thousand copper plates and handed it to Aunt Zhe in front of everyone, "Auntie, according to our agreement, I will hire you for fifty coppers a year, and one thousand coppers for 20 years. I will pay you 20 first. I have to trouble you to pay my respects during the Qingming Festival, Zhongyuan Festival, the New Year Festival, and the Chinese New Year. I have to pay for wine, meat, ingots, and paper money. I will buy it according to the standard of [-] yuan a year. Do you think that’s OK?”

Mr. Zhe was shocked by Huang Ye's generosity, "This is too much!"

A living person might spend less than 20 yuan a year for a large family, but he spends so much on worshiping the dead. Mr. Zhe doesn't even know how he spends it!Huang Ye pursed his lips and chuckled, "It's not much. I've written all the sacrifices on it. Of course, prices may change. You can adjust it as you see fit. Five hundred yuan a year will be ten thousand yuan in [-] years. I I will convert it into pieces of silver and give it to you."

The villagers were all envious after hearing this, but no one said anything mean. Even if they were really jealous, they didn't dare to say it openly. They only praised Huang Ye for his purity and filial piety.

After the matter was negotiated, Huang Ye was finally able to leave Yi'an Village safely.

Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. Half of the people working in the Major General's Mansion are resting and looking deserted. After there is no need to rush for pharmaceutical powder, Cuizhuxuan no longer has the joy and laughter of the past.

On a cold day, Dr. Wang didn't like to move. He hid in the pharmacy making medicine and reading. Several medicine stoves were turned on, and a large pot of herbs was boiling. The room was obviously more than ten degrees warmer than outside.

Huang Ye quickly took off her coat. If she wore it for a while, she would be sweating.

"Master, what are you doing?"

Doctor Wang's eyes shifted from the medical book to Huang Ye's face, and he said lazily: "Why don't you stay at home for a few more days?"

"Everything has been arranged. I'll be back when everything is fine." Huang Ye said casually.

Doctor Wang smiled, "As expected of a close disciple that I have favored, he is very efficient in doing things! In this case, during this period of time, I will study my medical skills at my master's side, and by the way, I will go to Pingkangfang Baoan Hall for a half-day consultation."

"When did Pingkangfang get another security hall? Isn't there only a Yongshan hall in Pinglefang in the city?" Huang Ye looked surprised. She hadn't been on the street for a long time, so why didn't she know about this!

Doctor Wang rolled his eyes at her and said quietly: "Yongshan Hall is the property of the Gongsun family, and Bao'an Hall is the property of the Major General. Gongsun Ming is dead. Is it difficult to bring down a Yongshan Hall? Yong'an Hall opened on the seventh day of the lunar month. The doctor we are looking for is still on the way. Before the doctor comes, you should hold it on and practice your hands."

"Am I alone?" Huang Ye pointed at himself and blinked hard.

Doctor Wang sneered: "Otherwise, you still expect me to sit in the hall with you?"

"No, no, no," she shook her head knowingly, not daring to admit it.

When she went out to inquire about it, she found out the reason for the collapse of Yongshan Hall. Originally, Yongshan Hall was used by the Gongsun family to make money. The money for medical treatment and medicine was not something ordinary people could afford. The news of war between the two countries had just spread, and those stranded in Pucheng The businessman fled with his family early.

Yongshan Hall had no customers. However, Magistrate Gongsun was still dead at this time. The Major General's Mansion collected the store rent on his behalf according to the rules. After only three months, the shopkeeper of Yongshan Hall couldn't hold on anymore and sent a letter to Gongsun's family to close the store. Stop losses promptly.

Of course, not only one Yongshan Hall closed down, but also [-]% of the Gongsun family's properties. These properties were rented out by people from Tianhuai at the first time, and they were all doing business that was close to the people. This is why the city is more crowded than in previous years. One of the reasons for prosperity.

Huang Ye thought of Tian Huai's promise to her, and couldn't help but move to Qingfeng Garden.
