Chapter 60 Moving to the county seat
After Zhou Ran and Ye Ximing arrived in the county, they first went to see the tooth man from yesterday, and he took them to see the two yards for sale.

The two courtyards are very close to each other. Both are 80% new. The furniture in the house is also well protected. There are also wells in the courtyards. It's just that one courtyard is slightly larger and the other is relatively smaller. However, the furniture is of little use. The materials are better, and it also comes with a shed for raising livestock.

The price of the two courtyards is also more expensive at 210 taels for the smaller one, and cheaper at 180 taels for the larger one.

Zhou Ran was quite satisfied with both yards, and after haggling with Yaren, she decided to buy them both.

Although Ye Ximing was a little puzzled by Zhou Ran's approach of buying two yards at once, he did not stop Zhou Ran.

Zhou Ran successfully bought two yards, and only talked about her plan to Ye Ximing after coming out of Yahang.

After Ye Ximing heard her plan, he was not surprised that Zhou Ran wanted to teach everyone the embroidery techniques. After all, Zhou Ran had already taught it to the villagers before.

But he didn't agree with Zhou Ran teaching these skills to everyone for free.

"I know you want to help everyone, but you can never underestimate people's hearts. Most people in this world are dissatisfied, and if you always want to continue doing this, it will definitely not work without income. You can’t just rely on yourself to keep making money to fill it, right?”

Zhou Ran has also thought about this, but she feels that if she charges money, many children from poor families may not be able to learn embroidery skills at all, which is somewhat contrary to her original intention of setting up this training institution.

Ye Ximing thought for a while and suggested: "I think you can do this. You can sign contracts with everyone who wants to learn. You can teach them embroidery for free, but they must sign a contract with you and provide you with a certain amount of money after completing their studies." Embroidery pictures.”

Zhou Ran could figure out how big the embroidery picture was and how many pieces should be provided, and Ye Ximing also suggested that Zhou Ran could continue to cooperate with Linglong Embroidery Workshop on this matter.

At that time, the embroidery patterns provided by those embroidery girls can be sold directly to Linglong Embroidery Workshop, and Linglong Embroidery Workshop can also select the embroidery girls that suit your needs from those embroidery girls and directly recruit them into their embroidery workshop.

The more Zhou Ran listened, the more she felt that Ye Ximing's suggestions were good. When Ye Ximing went to see Liu Wenzhuo, she went directly to Shopkeeper Peng and told him about the new cooperation model.

Shopkeeper Peng felt that this matter would be of great benefit to their embroidery shop, but it was not a trivial matter after all. As a shopkeeper, he naturally would not dare to accept it easily, so he wrote a letter to Boss Qian on the spot and asked someone to give it to him without delay. Qian Dong’s family in Fucheng sent it and told Zhou Ran that he would reply to Zhou Ran immediately after Qian Dong’s family replied.

Zhou Ran was not in a hurry, so she naturally did not force Shopkeeper Peng to reply on the spot.

However, she made an appointment with Ye Ximing. After Ye Ximing finished his work, he would come to Linglong Embroidery Workshop to find her. After talking about the business, she started chatting with Shopkeeper Peng.

Recalling her previous visit to Wu Xiangling, Zhou Ran asked shopkeeper Peng, "I wonder if there has been anything interesting happening recently in the family of a prominent person in the county?"

"What is the interesting thing Mrs. Zhou said?" Shopkeeper Peng didn't understand the meaning of Zhou Ran's words.

Zhou Ran pointed clearly and said: "For example, whose young master has an extramarital affair, whose young lady is engaged to whose young master, whose young lady is having trouble with her fiancé's family again?"

After hearing this, shopkeeper Peng laughed and said: "There are many dandy boys in the county who have wives, but the only one who has heard the news recently is the Hou family. The Hou family said that he has taken a fancy to a girl in the building, and spent money on it." A lot of money was spent to redeem the person..."

Shopkeeper Peng told several things about what happened to the big families in the county recently, but Zhou Ran didn't hear anything about the Wu family and the Qin family after listening. Zhou Ran frowned. Could it be that Wu Xiangling planned to just endure it? Or let someone deal with Zhou Ying privately, pretend that this never happened, and still marry into the Qin family as usual?
But this is Wu Xiangling's own matter after all. No matter what choice she makes, she will not interfere.

But if Wu Xiangling made these two choices, then she and Wu Xiangling would not have more interactions in the future.

Zhou Ran stayed in Linglong Embroidery Workshop for about half an hour before Ye Ximing came over.

After the two returned to Xiyao Village, they started to pack their things. The next day, Zhang and Ye Dalang followed them to the yard of the county town, leaving only Li and Chen at home who were about to give birth.

Originally, Ms. Zhang wanted to keep Ye Xiaomei at home to take care of Ms. Li, but Ms. Zhang was worried that if Ms. Li's water suddenly broke, Ms. Ye would be at a loss, so she asked Ms. Chen to stay at home.

After discussing with Ye Ximing yesterday, Zhou Ran decided to keep the big house as a place to teach embroiderers, and she and Ye Ximing lived in the smaller house.

After Zhang and the others entered the yard, they looked around everywhere in the yard out of curiosity, and then they all thought the house was nice.

The only thing that made Ms. Zhang a little dissatisfied was that Zhou Ran had bought the house with money. After cleaning the house, she took Ye Ximing to the corner and scolded him in a low voice: "You must be more upbeat, Aran has already spent money on you." It’s a lot of money, you can’t keep living like this.”

Ye Ximing nodded helplessly and responded: "I understand, mother, I will study hard and try to earn a good life for you and A'ran as soon as possible."

Mrs. Zhang was happy to hear this, but she still warned Ye Ximing with a straight face, "You said this yourself. If you dare to learn those ungrateful things in the future, I'm sorry to Aran, and I will not recognize you as my son. "

Ye Ximing said: "Mom, how could my son be like this?"

"Since you are not such a person, why don't you consummate your marriage with Ah Ran now that you are well?" Madam Zhang said dissatisfied: "Are you still thinking about that eldest girl from the Zhou family? Let me tell you..."

Ye Ximing blushed and interrupted Zhang, "Mom, where did you think you were? It was Doctor Fei who specifically told me before he left that my current body is not suitable for consummating the marriage with Aran, and it is best to support him for another half a year. .”

"So it turns out that my mother misunderstood you." Mrs. Zhang let him go after hearing Ye Ximing's explanation.

Zhou Ran came out of the kitchen carrying the dishes and saw Zhang and Ye Ximing. She called them and said, "Mother, sir, it's time to eat."

"Okay, come." Mrs. Zhang responded, took the lead and took the dish in Zhou Ran's hand, and said to Zhou Ran: "Mom, come and serve it."

Zhou Ran fell behind Zhang with empty hands, looked at Ye Ximing's red face, and asked curiously: "What did mother say to you? Why are you blushing like this?"

When Zhou Ran asked, Ye Ximing's face turned even redder, and he even stuttered a little when he spoke, "No, it's nothing."
