After a whole day’s shopping, Li Xun took Zhao Erhu and Lin Yue to visit more than half of the capital, and finally found a good courtyard, and the rent was not expensive. It took thirty taels of silver a month, which was already very cheap in the capital, and there were many rooms in the courtyard, even if people lived together.
Looking for a good house, Zhao Erhu and Lin Yue informed Jiangqi that they soon moved out from Jiangfu and lived in their own rented house. It doesn’t feel comfortable to do whatever they want, and they don’t have to be specially detained and criticized by the people in the house. Here are all our own.
However, it is also too hasty. Otherwise, if there is suitable real estate, you can buy a hospital in Beijing. Later, there will be a place to stay in the capital. The business of Xin’ an City can’t be done for the time being. After that, the business will definitely come to Beijing often. It is also an expense to rent a house every time. In addition, Lin Qing will not live in an inn if he wants to take the exam in Beijing in two years.
Yue Yue knows this brother too well to save money. Even if she goes to Beijing to take the exam, she must live in the waiting room. They can live in the waiting room if they buy a room. There are still a few small ones who will come to Beijing to take the exam if they are promising. It is good that they will come to Beijing to take the exam that day. This is also an urgent thing. There must be a suitable opportunity. Anyway, she is still holding 22 thousand silver tickets in her hand. She gave her the three components of the square red this time when she entered the capital river. Every month, there are more than 3 thousand two, and it is enough to bring a house before.
"Zhao Erhu, let’s move out and live. That’s right. I haven’t been so comfortable for a long time. Have you anything to do? If you have nothing to do, accompany me to the streets. I have never been to Beijing. I have to have a good stroll." Yueyi was happy to start planning a trip
"Let’s go to the street for a stroll on a day. This city is more prosperous than our Xin ‘an City. Many things are sold. When I passed by, I saw a lot of them. Are there any designs in our Xin ‘an City and jewelry shops? I’ll buy you some fashionable jewelry and cloth to help you dress up once. It must be more beautiful than the big families in this city."
The reason why Zhao Erhu said this was because Lin Yue was satirized by Jiang’s aunt in the back garden of Jiangfu a few months ago. Although Lin Yue was angry at that time, he said it with Zhao Erhu and forgot it after venting. Although Zhao Erhu changed his surface and didn’t seem to care much, he actually remembered it in his heart. His daughter-in-law was very relaxed and quick, even if she was a peasant woman, she was smart and beautiful, and she could learn words, which was not bad compared with other people’s wives and wives, but also affectionate and righteous. Who can find such a good daughter-in-law and be degraded by several aunts in Jiang?
Lin Yue is a bit funny about Zhao Erhu’s psychology. This old man is really "ok, then you have to dress me up."
"By the way, when I came out of Jiangfu yesterday, I also met our former magistrate, Chen Daren, who is now a Dali Temple. Chen Daren knows that we are in Beijing and specially invited us to visit his house. Do you think we should pay a visit to Chen Daren’s house when we come?"
"Since Chen Daren’s flattery is natural to go and have to prepare a gift, when Chen Daren was in Xin ‘an City, it was not thin for our family. Now Chen Daren has been promoted to Dali Temple, and Shao Qing is willing to associate with us. Whether it is because of Jiang Dage or not, we have to go one more way. Chapter 4 is always good.
It’s always bad to learn that it’s too late for Chen’s adult to invite him. Yueyue just postponed going shopping and visited Chen’s adult couple first. Besides, Yueyue felt a little distressed at the thought of going this time and giving him a heavy gift. But it’s hard to bear the thought of not being able to make friends with Chen’s adult, so Yueyue thought twice and took out the smaller of the two embroidered pictures brought this time as a gift.
Although it’s a smaller one, it costs a little money to get along with Chen’s adult, which really costs a lot of money. This year, the backer is really important. Since Cheng Lu became the magistrate of Xin ‘an City, his family was suppressed. Zhao Erhu and Lin Yue were particularly impressed by this feeling. Chen’s adult threw an olive branch, and they were so urgent.
"Daughter-in-law, if you really loathe to give up, let’s change a gift and send it." Zhao Erhu naturally loathe to give up watching Kannika nimtragol’s flesh ache.
Lin Yue shook his head. "Forget it. Let’s send it. We know that Mrs. Chen likes my embroidery. If it seems insincere to say goodbye, I am distressed. If it is sold, it will be worth at least two hundred silver, so it will be given away."
As soon as Zhao Erhu heard Lin Yue say this, he realized that it was not love embroidery but love silver. He forgot that his kannika nimtragol was still a money addict. No wonder it hurts so much to send out so many things these days.
I took a pair of big embroidered pictures and selected a few small things, as well as handmade soap and some homemade local products. When I came to the Chen family in a carriage, I remembered that these big families pay attention to door-to-door visits first, so I didn’t expect them to go to their doorsteps at the moment. So I just went back?
Lin Yue corrected Zhao Erhu and knew that the big family cared about these etiquette things, thinking about whether to go back and wait for the invitation before coming back.
Chen’s adult came back to see the door of the house and listened to a carriage and sent someone to ask. After knowing that it was Zhao Erhu and his wife, they invited people into the house.
"Brother Zhao, Zhao Niang, please come in." Adult Chen brought people into the house with enthusiasm and kindness, and told the page around him, "Go and ask your wife to come over and tell her that an old friend is visiting and let her come out to see the guests."
"Chen daren took the liberty of disturbing the door!" Zhao Erhu said that he made a bow to Chen’s adult because he was private and interested in getting close to Chen’s adult, but he couldn’t bow down as a gift.
Lin Yue also gave a simple ceremony to Chen Daren, "My wife has seen Chen Daren."
"Ha ha good rare old friend door let’s talk in the hall" Chen Daren is really happy to see Zhao Erhu couple, although there are some interests in it. At the beginning, he was also specially taken care of by Zhao Erhu couple and Jiang Jiagu, but now it’s really a bit important to value them, mainly because he thinks that this couple is not only good, but also intelligent, and the most important thing is to be blessed.
Since knowing the couple Zhao Erhu, Chen’s adult has had a prosperous career, and everything has gone smoothly. It’s always true that he is not one of those people who look at people under the door because of the birth of the couple Zhao Erhu. The so-called hero doesn’t ask the source. The couple have a big deal to do, and they are very good with Jiang Jiazhu. It is not a thing in the pool.
The page ran past and reported to Mrs. Chen that Mrs. Chen had something to discuss with Mr. Chen, who was coming here. When Zhao Erhu and Lin Yue arrived, Mrs. Chen also arrived, and they hurriedly gave Mrs. Chen Jianli.
Mrs. Chen has a good impression on Lin Yue. Add her husband’s compliment to Mr. and Mrs. Zhao Erhu. Mrs. Chen is a virtuous person. Naturally, she will follow the wishes of Chen’s adult and hurriedly let Mr. and Mrs. Zhao get up with a smile. "Don’t bother. It’s rare for old friends to get together. I’m really glad that Sister Yue has to get together today. I still want to ask you some questions about needlework."
"If you don’t dare to be Mrs. Chen, if you have any questions, just ask the folk women if they know enough." Speaking of embroidery, Lin Yue thought about the gifts they brought and looked at Zhao Erhu.
Zhao Erhu received the meaning of Lin Yue, and he also planned to say, "Chen Daren and Mrs. Chen visited your house for the first time, and there is nothing good to get. Some small gifts must be prepared. Although it is nothing, it is our intention to ask Chen Daren and Mrs. Chen to take it."
"Brother Zhao, it’s very kind of you to bring so many things to do, but since it’s your intention, I won’t refuse." Chen’s adult accepted the gift from Zhao Erhu and his wife generously, which is also an expression of goodwill. Chen’s adult devoted himself to studying official career is not those who are corrupt officials who are willing to accept everything and accept things from Zhao Erhu and his wife, saying that it gives them face.
Although Lin Yue is a little wronged in his heart, it seems that they have taken advantage of it, but Lin Yue also knows that their status is too low now, which is also avoidable. If it is really because of this anger, it will be somewhat ungrateful.
In this way, Zhao Erhu accompanied Chen’s adult to talk in the hall, and Yueze was dragged by Mrs. Chen to discuss the issue of female beauty, and both sides talked happily.
Mrs. Chen thought that her daughter was practicing needlework in the female red forest month, which was the best embroiderer in Beijing. She might as well ask her to give directions to a daughter embroiderer, so she called someone "Go and call the young lady."
Mrs. Chen’s daughter, Chen Ruyu, is thirteen years old this year. She is as young as a lush, and her skin is somewhat similar to Mrs. Chen’s. She is also a medium-sized beauty. Because Chen and Mrs. Chen have held her in their hands since childhood, they are a little proud. When they came in, they were a little unhappy when they saw Lin Yue and learned that Mrs. Chen wanted Lin Yue to guide her embroidery.
Chen Ruyu believes that her embroidery is already very good, even if she wants to ask someone to give advice, she also asks everyone in the capital to give advice to her. Moreover, Chen Ruyu refuses to admit that the medical code is that Yueyue is more beautiful than her, which makes her angry and jealous. Seeing Yueyue is becoming more and more unpleasant.
Lin Yue doesn’t like Chen Ruyu’s satire against her everywhere. Really, when she has no temper! It’s because it’s not good for Mrs. Chen to show it. I think it’s better to think that Chen Ruyu is a child who is not sensible. Who let people have an official father in the background? Even if she is angry, she has to endure it. Mrs. Chen sees that Chen Ruyu is really unreasonable and scolds a few words, which makes Chen Ruyu full of resentment. 41 Chapter 41
In this way, it was hard to get along with each other at noon. At noon, Chen Daren and his wife had to keep Zhao Erhu and Lin Yue in the Chen family for lunch before letting them go.
Wait until Zhao Erhu and his wife leave Chen Daren’s wife and let people take out the gifts that Zhao Erhu and his wife sent. "Come on, let’s see what Zhao Erhu and his wife have sent. The couple are not stingy, and it must be a good thing to send some money."
"I’ve seen a lot of good things that my wife is so eager for. Is it rare for them to send these things?" Chen’s adult sees that Mrs. Chen is so eager to cut the sample. Otherwise, Zhao Erhu also said earlier that it is not much but a piece of mind. After all, it is good for the township to be able to do this courtesy.
Mrs. Chen ignored Chen’s adult teasing her earlier listening to Lin Yue’s words. The implication was that she sent an embroidered picture. Mrs. Chen was very interested in embroidery. She heard that Lin Yue sent a pair of embroidered pictures. Where can she still sit still? It’s just that it’s not easy for everyone to look through it for so long. This time, people have already left, so they don’t worry. She immediately ordered people to bring things over.
Sure enough, as soon as the embroidered picture was taken out, Mrs. Chen couldn’t turn her eyes. She couldn’t put it down. She picked up the embroidered picture and didn’t let others handle it. She became more and more satisfied with Zhao Erhu and his wife. Although she was from a peasant family, she was generous. It was such a big picture that Shuang Mianxiu had to say at least two hundred pieces of silver, and Kuang Linyue embroidered it. If she really sold the embroidered picture, it would definitely be more than this price.
Mrs. Chen looked at the embroidered picture for a long time before coming to see other things. Several other small objects are also exquisite. Although the materials are not the best, it is rare that even Chen’s adult can hardly praise this new ingenious idea.
In addition to these, there are some local products brought by Lin Yue, and there are so many things to make beautiful handmade soaps.
Coming out of Chen Fu and returning to the carriage, Lin Yuecai breathed a sigh of relief. She relaxed her body with that string and leaned against Zhao Erhu’s body. It’s really tiring to deal with these people with status. You have to be careful in your words and deeds, and then you have to be particular about rules. Later, Chen Ruyu was so arrogant and hostile to her. She just stayed in Chen Fu for a lunch and made her feel exhausted.
