Chapter 113 Moving to a new home
Ling You is a good helper.
He is knowledgeable in medicine and is loyal to the Yun family. Whether it is the medicine garden or the pharmacy, he can be entrusted to manage.
I just don't know if he is willing.
After Yun Fuling met Ling You, she told him the story, and Ling You nodded immediately and said, "Yes, of course I am willing!"
Ever since he met Yun Fuling again, Ling You has been thinking about going back to work for Yun Fuling.
Now that my wish has come true, I am overjoyed.
Yun Fuling has always been generous to her subordinates. She immediately gave Ling You double his previous salary, and also included benefits such as annual festival rewards.
After the negotiation, Ling You went home to discuss with his family and prepared to pack some clothes and go to Shuanglin Village.
Ling You's wife died many years ago, leaving him with only one son, Ling Jie.
Although Ling Jie studied for a few years in his early years, he had limited talent and failed the county examinations many times. Later, he simply became an accountant to support his family and placed his hopes of changing his family's status by studying and passing the imperial examinations on the next generation.
Now the two little grandsons of the Ling family are attending school.
Ling Jie was very reluctant when he learned that his father was going back to work in the Yun family's eldest house.
"Dad, you are not young anymore. It is much easier to work in a pharmacy than to be a manager. You can earn a lot of money."
"Besides, the Marquis has already released our family's indentures. Now Achen and Axiao are both studying, and they will definitely take the imperial examinations in the future..."
As soon as Ling You heard it, he knew what his son was thinking.
He patted Ling Jie on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Jie'er, you should be grateful to others and never forget your roots!"
"If it weren't for the old Marquis and the Marquis, your father and I would have had to farm in the manor for the rest of our lives. How could we have had the opportunity to study medicine?"
"How could our Ling family have such a good life today?"
"Not to mention that our descendants will be able to study and take the imperial examinations!"
Ling Jie's face flushed with embarrassment, "Dad, I have always remembered the Marquis's kindness, but now that I have Achen and Axiao, I want to consider them a little more. Slaves cannot take the imperial examinations..."
Ling You slapped his son on the back of the head.
"Do you think your father is stupid?"
"What kind of mean person are you when you think Miss?"
"The eldest lady asked me to do some work herself, and I only signed a labor contract."
"The old marquis and his family are all kind and generous."
It’s a pity that good people don’t get good rewards, and the huge business they created was taken away by the bad guys.
Ling You sighed in his heart.
After hearing this, Ling Jie finally felt relieved.
The confidants that wealthy families rely on are mostly household slaves, and they can only employ them with confidence if they have a contract of sale in hand.
Now that Yun Fuling has asked his father to be the steward, Ling Jie is afraid that his father will be blindly loyal because of the Yun family's kindness and sell himself to the Yun family again.
Ling You patted his son's shoulder again, "The eldest lady's demeanor is quite similar to that of the old marquis. You will know when you meet her."
"The eldest lady is a capable person. Her future achievements may be comparable to those of the old marquis."
"Your father is lucky to be able to work with the eldest lady."
"Just wait and see, I don't know how many people will envy me in the future!"
Many years later, Ling Jie realized that what his father said was right.
Fortunately, his father made the right decision!
Let’s not talk about these later events for now.
After Yun Fuling and Ling You separated, they went to the market to buy some vegetables, fish, meat and other items before returning to Shuanglin Village.
The Yun family’s house has been built, and Yun Fuling has also asked someone to look at an auspicious date. The day after tomorrow is a good day to move into the new home.
Yun Fuling planned to hold a housewarming party and invite people from the village to join in the fun.
On the day of the housewarming party, almost everyone in the village came.
Although Yun Fuling only built a courtyard with a main house, east and west wing rooms, kitchen, warehouse, stable, etc., with a total of only seven or eight rooms, it is considered the most imposing house in Shuanglin Village.
Early in the morning, villagers came with gifts and visited the Yun family's new home.
The other rooms looked ordinary, except for the bathroom and kitchen which were quite peculiar.
Especially the bathroom, which not only has a water channel leading directly to the outside of the house, but the bath water can also be poured directly into the water channel from inside the house, without the need to carry it outside and pour it again.
There is also a round thing, said to be a shower head, which can directly produce hot water when the plug is unscrewed.
It couldn't be more convenient to use for taking a shower in the summer.
There are also squat toilets made of bluestone bricks. After defecating, they can be directly flushed with water and flow into the septic tank in the backyard through the waterway.
The villagers were amazed at what they saw, and some families couldn't help but be tempted, thinking that when they build a house in the future, they would also like to build a bathroom like the Yun family's.
The Yun family's kitchen is bright and spacious, with a row of half-person-high tables against the wall as soon as you enter the door.
This table is perfect for cutting and preparing food. The bottom of the table is hollow, and there are cabinet doors on the outside. Things such as bowls, dishes and pots can be placed in the cabinet.
Things have a place to go and look neat and clean.
The eyes of the women who usually do housework lit up when they saw the Yun family's kitchen.
At this time, a woman had already come to the Yun family to help prepare the lunch banquet.
They are all people who have been dealing with kitchens for many years, and once they used the Yun family's kitchen, they felt its benefits.
While working, the women talked about the Yun family's new house, and their words were mostly full of admiration and praise.
Those who saw Yun Fuling would inevitably pull her aside to ask her about it.
In fact, Yun Fuling was designed to make living convenient and comfortable, so when the house was first built, some modern decoration concepts were added.
And Master Yu was indeed a professional in the field of architecture. After a little thought, he understood Yun Fuling's idea.
Then, according to the drawings drawn by Yun Fuling, the bathroom and kitchen she wanted were built.
Yun Fuling also visited several times during the construction process and she was very satisfied with the craftsmanship of Master Yu.
Master Yu also consulted Yun Fuling to see if he could buy her drawings, as maybe other families would also like such a bathroom and kitchen in the future.
Yun Fuling was not stingy with the two drawings and gave them directly to Master Yu.
Besides, Master Yu had already seen the blueprint and built it according to it, so it had already been imprinted in his mind.
If it was someone with bad character, he would just learn it and go make money somewhere else, and Yun Fuling wouldn’t know about it.
However, Master Yu was a man of integrity, so he went to ask Yun Fuling first.
But Yun Fuling was so generous and gave him the drawings directly.
Master Yu felt uncomfortable, so he made an extra pair of camphorwood boxes and gave them to Yun Fuling as a return gift.
On the day of the housewarming party, the Yun family was very lively.
Not since they fled famine had the villagers gathered together like this, and they were filled with peace and joy.
Especially since Yun Fuling was not a stingy person, the dishes at the banquet were very substantial and were all rich and greasy.
In addition to the delicious food, there is also a jar of wine on each table.
These days, wine is made from grain and is not cheap.
The villagers only drink a bowl of it during the New Year holidays.
A jar of wine like this would be shared among the people at the table, with each person only getting one or two bowls.
It can satisfy your cravings without making you drunk and causing trouble.
