Chapter 176 Help from noble people
With a look of joy on his face, Zhong Yunfeng moved all the things in his carriage to the newly bought carriage of the Ye family, then climbed on the carriage and hurried towards the county town.
Carrying a heavy task but with an extremely happy mood, Zhong Yunfeng is ready to embark on a new journey of his career. He hopes to use his career achievements to deeply bind himself with the Ye family, win the favor of the Ye family and Erniu's favor.
The interior decoration of the Ye family's new house has been completed. In the past two days, the gardener has been carrying out the final finishing work such as arranging and planting green plants.
On the day when Wulang was on leave, Ye Xiaozheng personally took his family to Yunfeng Temple and found the old Taoist priest Yunxu in the temple to help choose a date for the move. For this, Ye Xiaozheng personally donated one or two taels of silver for lamp oil.
Taoist Yunxu looked like a sage with white hair and beard and an immortal demeanor, but he was very skillful in taking the silver. However, when it came to choosing a date for the Ye family, Taoist Yunxu was quite serious. He muttered to himself and calculated with his fingers for a long time before he finally found a very good day, which was February 26th.
Ye Changyan thought about it in his mind and decided that everything that needed to be prepared was almost ready for February 26th, so he decided to move on that day.
Since the Ye family was in mourning, the family decided to simply invite Mr. Cai, Liang Jingcheng, Lian's family, everyone in the old house, and Ye Xiaolian's family in the county town. No other relatives, friends, or neighbors were invited. I believe everyone can understand.
On February 16, Zhu Wenlong's motorcade arrived at the Ye family's new yard, pulling the fired glass. Pieces of crystal clear glass were installed on the reserved window frames, and the room seemed brighter.
February 18th was the day Ye Changyan and Liu Futong agreed to deliver the goods.
Early that morning, Fang Xiaotong was seen driving Cai Lao's carriage from the official road in the direction of the county town. Lu Tingfeng was sitting next to him. Lu Tingfeng had his hands folded on his chest, looking relaxed and calm. It seemed that Fang Xiaotong's driving skills were already very proficient.
Fang Xiaotong parked the carriage steadily in the open space outside the gate of the Ye family's new courtyard. Lu Tingfeng and Fang Xiaotong jumped off the carriage one after another, and Liang Jingcheng also helped Mr. Cai out of the carriage.
Fang Xiaotong brought the horse stool skillfully, and Ye Changyan hurried forward to support Mr. Cai.
"Didn't you say you would deliver the furniture today? I'll come over to join in the fun."
"Teacher, the furniture delivery team hasn't arrived yet, and the new courtyard hasn't been lit yet. Here's the tea we brought from the farm. Please drink some first."
Ye Changyan picked up the teapot beside him, poured a cup for Mr. Cai and handed it to him.
"Why are you alone? Where are your parents?"
"The day of moving is approaching. My mother is busy sewing quilts with Erniu and Xiaomei. The kimchi processing workshop has been handed over to a few farmhands to take care of these days."
Seeing Mr. Cai nod with a smile, Ye Changyan continued.
"My father caught a cold a few days ago. He wanted to come and see me, but I asked him to stay in bed for two days. Wu Lang went to private school early in the morning. I have already told Mr. Xia that he would take two days off for the move."
"The weather in February is unpredictable. There was a cold snap a few days ago. Your father is already in poor health, so he should be more careful."
As he spoke, he saw several ox carts carrying furniture appear in sight on the official road not far away.
Liu Futong personally brought his carpenter apprentices and a group of his disciples to deliver the various types of furniture that Ye Changyan had ordered.
Soon the ox cart stopped at the gate of the Ye family's yard. Liu Fu and his disciples worked in perfect harmony to unload the furniture from the ox cart.
"Hahaha, Mr. Ye, my workshop only has two ox carts, and I borrowed two more from someone yesterday. I think it will take three or four trips for these four ox carts to deliver all the custom-made furniture."
After Liu Futong greeted everyone enthusiastically, he smiled and told Ye Changyan about the situation.
"Boss Liu, no problem. Do you think we can help you?"
"You don't need to help with the transportation. My disciples will take the children back to make a few more trips. In addition, a few people will stay here. You need to explain to them the specific layout of the rooms so that they can move the corresponding furniture into the house."
As they were talking, those who were preparing to go back to load the furniture sat on the ox cart that had unloaded the furniture. The cart was seen heading towards the county town, and the rest of the people then began to move the unloaded furniture into the yard.
Soon, villagers who came to watch the fun gathered around and saw the furniture being moved into the yard one piece at a time.
"Sanlang, do you need help?"
When the milk processing plant was first built, Ye Jiasanlang accompanied Boss Zhong to select this piece of land under the guidance of the village head.
At that time, many villagers thought that Boss Zhong must be worried about building such a large processing workshop in the village, so they planned to build a house and move into the village to settle down.
But later on, Boss Zhong hardly showed any concern for the construction site of the house. Instead, Sanlang would come over to check on it every now and then.
Everyone began to speculate, could it be that this house was built by the third branch of the Ye family themselves?
But no one quite believed it. It had only been a short time since the third branch of the Ye family separated from the family. How could they have so much money to build such a big house?
Although Sanlang did make some money from telling stories in Yunfeng Tower, didn’t he just buy dozens of acres of land during the autumn plowing season last year?
A few months passed, and recently Sanlang's senior brother spent five hundred taels to buy dozens of acres of land from Li Baolin in Shanghe Village. The milk processing workshop and the original vacant land in the middle of the yard, as well as the newly built kimchi processing workshop, belonged to Sanlang's family.
Sanlang's teacher and senior brothers do not seem like ordinary people in their every move. Could it be that Sanlang met a noble person and received financial support from his teacher and senior brothers?
Ye Changyan thanked the villagers who enthusiastically asked for help, but he overheard all the various discussions in the crowd.
Ye Changyan raised his eyes and glanced at Liang Jingcheng beside him. He was dressed in fancy clothes and could easily take out fifty taels of gold ingot. He thought that these things must have spread throughout the village a long time ago.
No wonder everyone would speculate that I was sponsored by my teachers and seniors, but if everyone really thought about it in this direction, it was a good thing. With the support of my teachers and seniors, my family not only built a large yard and opened a kimchi processing workshop, but my family's life gradually became prosperous, which was a natural thing.
Thinking of this, Ye Changyan smiled knowingly when he saw Liang Jingcheng, so he winked at Liang Jingcheng, and the two of them walked to a remote corner. Ye Changyan briefly explained the situation to Liang Jingcheng, and Liang Jingcheng nodded with pleasure.
After all the furniture was moved into the house, Liu Futong and several of his apprentices assembled the furniture that needed to be assembled before they prepared to leave.
Liang Jingcheng took out a purse and handed it to Liu Futong, then Ye Changyan spoke.
"Boss Liu, this is the final payment for the furniture. Please count it."
Under the villagers' burning gazes, Liu Futong opened his purse and took out two gold ingots and some silver ingots. Liu Futong nodded happily, and after expressing his thanks, he took a group of disciples and apprentices, got on the carriage and headed towards the county town.
