Chapter 14: An Invitation from a Neighbor
In the summer, it is a pleasure to take advantage of the cool under the grape trellis, eat watermelon and chat about the day.
If the object of the chat is two enthusiastic and upright, and warm, bright, intellectual and lovely young ladies, it will be even more enjoyable.
Tang Yi chatted with Gao Mei and Qin Mingyue under the grape trellis for more than half an hour.
Chatting is also a process of getting to know each other.
After chatting, Tang Yi learned that they were all students of the Imperial Capital Conservatory of Music, and they were in their third year at the beginning of the school year.
Qin Mingyue, who has a very high appearance and a gentle personality, is a top student in the piano department, according to Gao Mei, she began to learn the piano at the age of 5, and this learning is a full 15 years, both talented and persistent.
Even now, she maintains a minimum of 4 hours of practice every day.
Qin Mingyue is also another owner of this courtyard, her parents are abroad, and now she lives alone in the imperial capital.
It is precisely because of this that Gao Mei has been living with her since college.
Gao Mei majored in pop music singing, specializing in rock and roll, and it seems that she also formed a band herself.
Tang Yi didn't say much about his own situation, only said that he would go to college in the imperial capital in the next four years, and he deliberately didn't mention the situation at home.
He talked about Grandma Wang the most.
After all, Grandma Wang is the link between the two of them.
Lawyer He saw that Tang Yi and the two girls seemed to be quite able to chat, so he answered the phone and left after sitting for a while.
Before leaving, I made an appointment with him for the inheritance procedures.
"This one is Grandma Wang's study, and the one next door is the bedroom. ”
After chatting about the same, Gao Mei went back to the room and took out the key that Grandma Wang had placed here before and helped Tang Yi open the door.
"Wow, so many books?"
The moment the door of Grandma Wang's study opened, Tang Yi was stunned.
In a room of more than 20 square meters, there are bookshelves on both walls, which are densely packed with books.
In the corner of the wall, there is also a small ladder, which looks like it is specially used to get books.
By the window, there is a desk with a very old sense of age, on which are placed an old table lamp, an inkstone, a pen holder full of brushes, a fountain pen, and a pair of reading glasses.
Seeing this desk, Tang Yi's mind instantly appeared the scene of Grandma Wang sitting in front of the window practicing calligraphy.
He only knew that Grandma Wang was elegant and delicate before, and he didn't know anything about her past.
Now it seems that Grandma Wang is not only elegant and exquisite, but also a talented woman with profound knowledge.
"Grandma Wang used to be a high school teacher, and these books are her lifelong treasure. ”
Qin Mingyue looked at the room full of books, and explained with a little redness in her eyes.
"I see. ”
Tang Yi nodded lightly, and a heartfelt admiration rose in his heart.
Compared with the study, Grandma Wang's bedroom is much simpler.
A bed, a chair, a cupboard, and nothing else.
There is also a bathroom next to the two rooms, and a sunny kitchen, which is not big, but very clean.
It can be seen that the kitchen and bathroom should have been built later.
"If you're moving in, you might need to add some furniture and appliances, by the way, when are you going to move in?"
After taking him on a tour and returning to the pavilion, Gao Mei asked bluntly.
"It's not certain for the time being, but it should be half a month at the earliest. ”
He has been in the presidential suite at the Hilton Hotel for half a month, and today is only the first day of his stay.
Besides, as Gao Mei said, if he wants to really move in, he needs to add a lot of things.
Even if the study doesn't need to be taken care of for the time being, the bedroom will have to be re-tied.
The beds and cabinets had to be replaced with new ones, otherwise he was afraid that he would not be able to sleep at night.
There is another thing that Tang Yi didn't say, even if he likes this courtyard very much, he hasn't finally decided whether to live in it or not.
"Okay, we'll leave a phone call for a while, you decide when to move over, say it in advance, and Mingyue and I can also help you clean it up when the time comes." ”
Immediately afterwards, Gao Mei handed the keys to Grandma Wang's two rooms to Tang Yi.
"This is the key to Grandma Wang's room, since you are here, let's officially hand it over to you. ”
Tang Yi didn't go to pick up the key, but thought about it and said: "The key should be left here for you, I lost it, and it won't be too late for you to give it to me when I move over." ”
"It's okay, then put us here for the time being, so that it will be convenient for Mingyue to go to Grandma Wang's study to borrow books to read. By the way, you don't mind Mingyue going to Grandma Wang...... No, go to your study and borrow a book, right?"
Since Grandma Wang had left the house to Tang Yi, those books naturally became his private property.
"Of course I don't mind, I haven't thanked you for helping to clean up the room. ”
When he was just in the study, Tang Yi found that the bookshelves and desks were spotless, obviously because someone often came to take care of them.
Grandma Wang has been gone for so long, she can't clean it herself.
Speaking of which, he really wants to thank Gao Mei and Qin Mingyue, if there were no them, the courtyard would be so neat and warm?
Tang Yi is very fortunate to have such two neighbors.
Gao Mei and Tang Yi were chatting when her mobile phone suddenly rang.
"I'll answer the phone first. ”
Gao Mei smiled apologetically at him and answered the phone.
"Hey, Juan'er. Are you ready to leave so early? Also, get there early to avoid traffic jams. Come on, Mingyue and I will pack up and get ready to go out in a while. Okay, see you later, bye~"
Hanging up the phone, she looked at Tang Yi and seemed to be a little hesitant, exchanged glances with Qin Mingyue, and saw her nodding slightly, Gao Mei asked, "Tang Yi, do you have any arrangements for the night?"
Tang Yi subconsciously shook his head.
He had just arrived in the imperial capital, and he was unfamiliar with the place.
"If you don't have the arrangement, and you don't mind, come and eat with us in the evening, it's a coincidence, today happens to be my birthday. ”
Gao Mei sincerely invited.
Although they just met today, after some contact, she and Qin Mingyue both felt that Tang Yi was not bad, polite, modest, and very educated.
In addition to the average height and appearance, everything else is okay.
In addition, he will be a neighbor in the courtyard in the future, and it is normal to invite him to a meal on his birthday.
"This ...... It's inconvenient for me to go. ”
Tang Yi was slightly surprised, he didn't expect that today was Gao Mei's birthday, it was indeed quite a coincidence.
"What's inconvenient, there are no outsiders tonight, only a few little sisters who have a good relationship, they are all very good, and they won't be embarrassed. ”
Gao Mei waved her hand boldly, and she had a posture that was so decided.
She is already straightforward and atmospheric, and her temperament is a little arrogant.
When she learned that Tang Yi was coming a few days ago, she was discussing with Qin Mingyue that if the other person was not bad, for Grandma Wang's sake, she would have to invite him to a meal to fulfill the friendship of the landlord, and she would be worthy of Grandma Wang's care over the years.
