Transfer Fubao four and a half years old

Chapter 548: Construction of Shengjing Pier 1 begins.

After receiving the reward, the emperor saw that Jiao Zhongjue was still hanging by his arm, so he gave him leave and let him recuperate at home.

The Twelve Prince also asked him to rest in peace and recuperate, saying that he would tell him if anything happened.

Naturally, both Chunjun Prince's Palace and Shunguo Duke's Palace wanted to rob people when they returned home. After Jiao Zhongjue walked around all the palaces, he didn't stay anywhere and went straight back to his Juejun Prince's Palace, Juoran Courtyard, to live.

However, he only stayed back for two days. Because Chu Chu said that he had something to discuss, and for the convenience of giving him a diagnosis and treatment, he went over with Uncle Zimo, knelt down with him solemnly, knelt down incense and expressed his condolences to Princess Anran, and then took him to Qilin Hospital. Come and stay.

The courtyard of the two brothers was usually empty, which was convenient for him to live in. Chu Chu also took out a lot of tonics from the space to give him daily nourishment.

The maids and guards who were still working in other counties came back one after another in the past half month. Except for one who had a broken leg and became a cripple, three others also had disabled hands.

Jiao Zhongjue asked Zimo to take the remaining ones to the Jue County Prince's Mansion to be raised, and he also designated someone to take care of them.

For those who can still do things, let them do what they can.

It is now approaching November, and the most urgent thing that needs to be discussed is the marriage between Uncle Zimo and Sister Luo Mei.

"You said Uncle Zimo already has a house outside? Why didn't I know?"

Chu Chu jumped up when she heard about it. Brother Jue still liked to hide everything from her and didn't tell her anything. She was a little unhappy. She also said that Uncle Zimo was one of her own. She seemed to have no control over anything, so she was a little angry. Unfair.

"Brother Jue already knew that Uncle Zimo would not leave, right?" Chu Chu asked in a questioning tone.

"My mother was kind to him and took him in since she was still married. He will never leave."

Chu Chu didn't know this. She and her grandparents had always thought that Zimo was originally from Prince Chun, and was later assigned to brother Jue. Unexpectedly, he turned out to be an old person from Princess Anran. No wonder he was so loyal.

"Did his aunt also give him the house?" If so, it's a matter of course. I'm afraid Princess Anran has something to explain!

However, when Princess Anyang was still alive, Uncle Zimo was only in his teens, right? Did you arrange a way out for him so early?

Jiao Zhongjue shook his head: "That's not true. I only resettled him after you came back from the North. He refused to take it at the beginning, and now I still have the house deed and title."

This is strange: "He asked you to marry sister Luo Mei?" You must be getting married before you think of buying a house, right?

Sure enough, everyone treated her as a child, and she was really angry: "But Chu Chu is Uncle Zimo's owner." She felt that she should pay for this house.

Jiao Zhongjue explained: "That's not true. I don't know if my aunt saw it or if my grandma told her. After my aunt told me, I came to him to ask. At that time, he said that the lady was still young and wanted to get married in two years. "Last year, it was close to the New Year when you returned from Qingzhou County, so you couldn't do it. This year, you didn't have to worry about things, so it was delayed. "

Seeing that Chu Chu was no longer so excited, he added: "If Chu Chu doesn't remind me, brother Jue will also plan to come back and do it for them this time."

"But they are all my people. As you said, they all listen to me. It should be me who buys a house for them and prepares a dowry for Sister Luo Mei."

That serious look made Jiao Zhongjue feel cute and funny: "This is how we get married. They are all ours, so it is right for you to marry them and for us to welcome them."

Chu Chu thought about it and realized that it seemed right. Her husband’s family and her mother’s family couldn’t all be the same family! Uncle Zimo and Sister Luo Mei have no family members, so naturally they have to take care of the marriage.

She was just a little angry because Brother Jue didn't discuss it with her. Speaking of using so many people, it seemed like she didn't even pay any money and was only accepting Brother Jue's favor.

Brother Jue's words "our people" made her feel inexplicably fond of her. After thinking about it for a while, she blushed and asked sheepishly: "Then Chu Chu only prepares a dowry?"

"Yes, just wait for the wedding."

No matter how you look at Brother Jue's smile, it's a bit narrow, and his eyes feel different.

What does it mean that I am waiting to welcome the bride? It's obviously Sister Luo Mei who is getting married, okay? Chu Chu felt that she had been caught by a pig.

Things are done as they are said to be done,

Within three days, she accepted the offer and asked for an appointment. The matchmaker turned out to be Granny Zhou. Seeing Granny Zhou enter the door beaming with joy, Chu Chu was shocked.

But I also think it’s reasonable. After all, Granny Zhou is also Princess Anran’s wife! It was the honor of Prince Jue's palace that she proposed the marriage, and Uncle Zimo's honor was indeed great enough.

Thinking that brother Jue Lai had thought about many things, Chu Chu felt that if he hadn't been sealed, the person who came to the door might not be her grandmother, so it would make sense for the two of them to come to propose marriage.

Since Uncle Zimo and Sister Luo Mei had no family, many procedures were simplified. The grandmother helped to watch out for two auspicious days, and finally selected the date of welcoming the bride on the fifth day of December. The wedding before the Laba Festival would mean that the New Year had not passed, that is, The Chinese New Year is only celebrated after entering the house.

Good luck!

The betrothal gift is given two days before the wedding day.

However, after setting the date, Zimo and Luo Mei personally begged Duke Shun Guo and his wife and the old lady: First, the marriage was just a formality, and they would still go back to Duke Shun Guo's mansion to serve the young lady three days after they returned home; Second, both of them did not want to be freed from slavery, but only wanted their future descendants to be free.

No one expected this. They originally planned to hand over the deed of betrayal to them after finishing the work, but they rejected it. Li Yan had no choice but to follow the standards of the big stewards in the mansion and allocate a small courtyard for them in the backyard. , it will be more than enough for a family of five or six people in the future.

But before this matter could be implemented, another major event happened in the capital. The emperor decreed that a wharf that could accommodate hundreds of large cargo ships to enter and exit at the same time should be built at the south gate near the Dajing River. It is known as: " "Shengjing Pier No. 1" was planned by the Ministry of Rites, financed by the Ministry of Household Affairs, and constructed by the Ministry of Works. The chief supervisor of the construction was actually the long-retired General Qi.

As soon as the news came out, the land became a hot commodity, and even the royal family and wealthy people were asking around, who did this land belong to? Everyone wants to get a piece of the action.

But when they originally bought the land, they had thought of this day, so naturally all traces of their names were taken care of.

Building a dock requires land. Except for the small corner at the edge occupied by the people who originally settled the shanty town, that land has always been empty.

The Ministry of Household Expropriation expropriated one-fifth of the land at the same price as the land in the city's prime land, allowing Chu Chu and Jiao Zhongjue to make a fortune.

The rest of the land was planned by Shun Guogong and Jiao Zhongjue into streets and shops. All of them were designed to be built into three-story or higher pavilion shops, with hundreds of them. A large area was euphemistically called "Water Street". With the construction of the dock already in full swing, preparations have begun.

Chu Chu and Jiao Zhongjue did not need to pay a tael of silver. They directly used the money from selling the land to borrow chickens to lay eggs. On the one hand, they collected five years' rent back in the form of pre-lease. Prince Chun and Duke Shun also sent people to Those who operated secretly had nothing to do with them.

Even if they are in charge there, the two families have sent a few trusted confidants to help manage it. According to An's father and mother, Chu Chu and Brother Jue only need to wait for the cashier to check the accounts every year, without having to worry about it themselves. A little brain.
