A scholar becomes a landlord

Wei Le was standing at the gate of the Marquis Mansion with a small burden on his shoulders. When a gust of wind blew by, he shrunk his neck involuntarily. It was a bit cold~~

To be honest, he hasn't figured out the situation until now, so what's going on here?After tapping his head and searching the memory of the original owner, Wei Le finally figured out the reason.

To put it bluntly, a concubine was kicked out of the house by his aunt in disguise. Fortunately, he didn't leave the house clean, so he was given 1 taels of silver anyway.But compared to the huge family property of the Hou Mansion, the 1 taels of silver is just a drizzle, and the expenses of the Hou Mansion for a month or two are almost more than the little money he allocated.

And it was for this reason that the original owner was pissed to death, and the moment he died, he let Wei Mingle, who also had the same surname, assume his identity.

Just when he was confused, he was kicked out of the house like this. Fortunately, there was still the monthly silver that the original owner had saved for several years in the baggage, not too much, just two or three hundred silver.As a concubine of the Marquis Mansion, this amount of money is simply not enough. No wonder the nanny who helped him pack up didn't embezzle it, so she probably doesn't think much of this amount of money.

Forget it, the original owner has hung up.He is not the original owner, so what's the use of getting angry?Anyway, there are still 1 taels of silver.He himself is not a very ambitious person. Before crossing, he was a farmer and Yamada who was a bit sweet, let alone now.

Based on his memory, he found a carriage and left Beijing.The price of goods in the capital is too expensive, even though he is an ordinary person with this little money, he can live comfortably for a lifetime.But there are also many princes and nobles in the capital. He is a little concubine of the Marquis, and he is still the kind who was kicked out of the house in disguise. I don't know how he died by then.

Compared with the original owner's non-human fireworks, if it hadn't been for someone who is not a small talent, it is estimated that there is not even [-] silver cars.But Wei Le is a fine person, playing around on the street as a child, although he is not considered a bad person, he cannot be said to be a good person either.It's just that my family has always been poor, and I lived with my grandparents when I was a child.

Grandpa was a barefoot doctor who raised him with the money he earned from picking herbs and hunting, and let him finish high school at least.

It is a pity that when he graduated from high school, his grandparents passed away one after another, and he failed to continue his studies. Since then, he has been hanging around on the street, occasionally doing odd jobs, and finally lived to be 22 years old. It is rare to do a good deed and save A child who picked up a ball on the road was hit by a car and came to ancient times.

The hard-won second life made Wei Le decide that his life should not be too messy in the future. At least he should have a fixed home and find a wife to have a few children in the future.But he was not the original owner, and he didn't want to have anything to do with the Hou Mansion in the capital, so he went directly to a small county several hundred miles away, and settled down in a village outside a small town to which the small county belonged.

By the way, I bought [-] acres of land.

One mu of high-quality land is 12 taels, and 240 mu is [-] taels. I got a good lease from the yamen, and returned to the village happily with the title deed.

He bought an old house that had been moved away from the village. It was not too big and had only two rooms, one was the main room and kitchen, the other was the bedroom, and a hut was built behind it.

Plus a small yard, it only cost two taels of silver in total.

But this is only the place where Wei Le lives temporarily, and he has some money anyway, so he can't live in such a poor house that leaks even when it rains.

He looked around and found that there was a large open space just to the left.Because this family lives at the foot of the mountain, a little far from the village, there is still a lot of open space.This open space is also connected to a small hillside, and there are some fruit trees and bamboo forests on the hillside.

"Look, Lizheng, I plan to buy it along with the hillside, and then grow some vegetables on the hillside, so that it is close to home."

Wei Le went to find Li Zheng and asked him to draw up a territory for himself, and take part-time job as a part-time contract.

"Okay, since Wei Xiucai is interested in this place, I will go to the town to do it tomorrow. Anyway, there are no people here, and there will be no disputes."

Li Zheng took a look, and found that this land was indeed not a good land, and it was suitable for building a house.

Their village is a bit out of the way, there has never been a scholar before, since Wei Xiucai settled in their village, the people in their village have straightened up a lot when they go out.Wei Xiucai said that during the slack season, he can teach the children in the village to read and write, so that they will not be blind.

This made Lizheng and the villagers very happy. When they heard that Wei Xiucai was going to build a house, they all volunteered to help, and they didn't need wages. They just hoped that Wei Xiucai would teach their children to read more.

Looking at these poor and honest villagers, Wei Le shook his head and sighed.Ancient farmers~~

But since he agreed, Wei Le would naturally not lose his word.When building the house, he purposely built two rooms on both sides of the gate close to the yard, with desks, etc., and he will teach the children here.

Wei Le's new home is an old Beijing-style courtyard house, and he built three entrances.Thinking about marrying a daughter-in-law and having more children in the future, if the building is small now, it will be very troublesome to expand it in the future, so it is better to do it all at once.

So a courtyard with three entrances was directly built. The first entrance has three rooms on the front, the main room in the middle, one room on both sides for study, and one for eating.

The room next to the dining room is the kitchen and the firewood room, and next to it is the storage room and the bathroom plus toilet.On the other side are three wing rooms, Wei Le intends to treat them as guest rooms, after all the guests at home can't let them sleep in the back two rooms!

There is a well in the middle of the yard. He plans to build a grape trellis beside the well, and put stone tables and benches under it. In summer, it leans against the mouth of the well, and there are grape trellises to block the sun. It is very comfortable to sit here to enjoy the cool.

The second entrance is where he and his future daughter-in-law will live. There are still three rooms in the middle, but Wei Le directly converted the three rooms into suites.There are halls, bedrooms, bathrooms and toilets, similar to modern one bedroom, one living room and one bathroom.

When it comes to toilets and showers, Wei Le has people burn the pipes and bury them in the ground, and connect them to the large pit outside that is specially used to pile up farm manure.It is also paved with tiles inside, which is very convenient for bathing or going to the toilet. You don't have to worry about the water getting the floor wet, and you don't have to worry about the smell in the toilet.

To be honest, Wei Le felt that he was completely unable to get used to the modern life when he was asked to squat in an ancient latrine.Since you have money, of course you have to live comfortably!

There are also wing rooms on both sides of the second entrance yard, with toilets and bathrooms inside. For this reason, these wing rooms are much larger than ordinary houses. They are reserved by Wei Le for the children to live with their parents before they are seven years old. In one yard, after the age of eight, you can move to the back yard!

The last yard we entered, Wei Le also underwent renovations.At least every house has toilets and bathrooms, so don’t worry about running outside in the winter, and you will be sick if you get sick.The medical treatment in ancient times was so poor that even a minor illness could kill a person.

Then there are the furnishings in the house, there are kangs, wooden beds, cabinets, desks, bookshelves, etc., all fully equipped.Of course, the material can't be compared with Hou Fu's, it's all ordinary wood.But for Wei Le, this is enough.

Don't look at these ordinary wood, but in modern times, solid wood furniture is also very expensive!

As for why there is a kang when there is a bed, can Wei Le say it is because he is afraid of the cold?The place he stayed was close to the north, and it would snow in winter.Isn't it cold to death without a kang?So there must be a kang.Sleep on the kang in winter and bed in summer.

Anyway, I'm rich, so I'm self-willed, so why not be afraid!

Even several courtyards are paved with blue bricks, so that they don't have to worry about getting their shoes dirty in the rain.

Then it took two months to build the entire yard, and Wei Le spent hundreds of taels of silver.He also cut a few catties of meat for each villager who came to help, plus two catties of brown sugar and two packs of snacks as a thank you gift.

The happy villagers all said that Wei Le is good. Originally, they came to help for their own children, and wanted them to know a few more words.Unexpectedly, there are still meat, candy and snacks available now, Wei Xiucai is so polite.

The villagers left carrying the meat, while Wei Le walked in the three-in-one courtyard, admiring his new home carefully.Because we still need to treat guests when we move, the official check-in will be tomorrow.

The two huts that Wei Le originally bought were next to his new home, and they were surrounded together when the yard was built, and he converted them into cowsheds, pigpens, and chicken sheds.In this way, there is a certain distance from the place where you live, and you are not afraid of peculiar smell.For this reason, a side door was opened here, and bullock carts and so on usually enter and exit through the side door.

Of course, there is nothing in the cowshed or pigsty yet, and he still lives there these two days.After buying the cows, pigs and chickens, he also moved into the new house.

As a young man of the new generation who has been ravaged by pesticides, fertilizers and growth accelerators, Wei Le said that in ancient times he wanted to eat safe and secure food, and the safest food was of course the one grown at home.

Wei Le first went to a family in the village who specializes in holding chickens to make an reservation for chickens, and then listed the things he needed to buy, planning to go to town early tomorrow morning.He basically needs to buy everything now, but the most important thing he needs to buy for a treat tomorrow is meat.

As for other things, you can buy them slowly later, so as not to mess things up one by one.

I made an appointment with the old man Li in the village for an ox cart, and the next morning, I sat on the ox cart with a basket on my back and headed towards the town.

After buying tens of catties of meat, people from the whole village would come to eat it.There are also bones used to make soup. Now that the weather is getting colder, it is easy to get sick if you sit outside to eat at night!Drinking a bowl of hot soup at this time will keep you warm.

Other dishes are bought less, mainly meat.Usually, one or two meat dishes per table is pretty good, but when Wei Le first came to the village, he naturally wanted to establish a good relationship with the villagers, so he prepared five meat dishes, and added a few more fried in meat oil. A table full of dishes is even better than the New Year's Eve dinner for the villagers.
