Qin Han really felt that something was wrong with this account. There are too many things, especially the house near the Confucius Temple, when Qin Bai bought it, he wanted it to be new enough, and it didn't need to be renovated, and there were a lot of new furniture in it, which could be used directly. She's been to the field and knows what to add.

There were so many items on this list that even if all the original furniture in the house were replaced with new ones, it would be more than enough. It stands to reason that the person sent to tidy up the house should not make such a low-level mistake, so what is the reason?

Qin Hanzhen has not heard a lot of rumors that the Xiao Huang clan is doing tricks and feet in the public accounts of the clan and filling his own pockets, and now that he sees this account that is obviously inconsistent with the actual situation, he can't help but run over there, suspecting that there is a bold person in charge of the outer courtyard who dares to make trouble under the noses of the two masters of Qin Bai and Niu? !

Qin Jian didn't know about Qin Bai's purchase of the house before, but when he heard this, he suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly asked Qin Hanzhen: "Third Uncle Ancestor bought the house on the other side of the Confucius Temple?" I didn't even hear him talk about it before, and I thought that it would take a while before he decided to buy it." But why is this place? Doesn't the third sister prefer the house near Huaiqing Bridge?"

Qin Hanzhen relayed a few reasons that Qin Bai told her to Qin Jian, and said, "Actually, I also think it's a pity." However, the house on the other side of Huaiqing Bridge is relatively quiet, and it is more troublesome to renovate, and my grandfather is in a hurry to move, so he chose the house of Confucius Temple. In fact, there is nothing bad, it is a quiet place in the middle of the city, close to the bustling business district, and it is convenient to buy things. ”

Qin Jian groaned: "Third sister, do you know who the house in Huaiqingqiao is in now?"

Qin Hanzhen looked at him in surprise: "How would I know? Brother Lobby asked what is this for? Could it be that you want to buy it? But didn't you say before that you prefer the house in the Confucius Temple?"

Qin Jian laughed dryly, and took the list of accounts in her hand: "It's inconvenient for the third sister to go to the outer courtyard, I'll go for you." But before that, you have to go to the third uncle to talk about it. ”

After that, he took the accounts to the front study, Qin Hanzhen wanted to go with him, but was stopped by his grandmother: "Brother Jian will come back after asking in a while, you don't have to go with you." Regardless of whether there is a problem with the accounts, the renovation work on the new side of the house is almost done. Originally, it was a new house, if it wasn't for the fact that the original owner had won the examination and wanted to go to the capital to participate in the Spring Festival, he wouldn't need this mansion that was bought specifically for preparing for the township exam, and he wouldn't have sold it easily. There was nothing damaged in the house, and if you hadn't had to add a fire kang or a fire wall, we wouldn't have to renovate the house. When the house stops, you'll have to make a few more trips to get the rooms in order. I'm fine, and I might be able to go with you. But we live in Qinzhuang, and it takes a lot of time to get to and from Jinling City, so you need to cherish your time and get the house in order as soon as possible. ”

It's the right thing. Qin Hanzhen hurriedly responded.

Speaking of the decoration and layout of the new house, she had already asked her grandfather Qin Bai for a drawing of the house, and then drew a simple floor plan according to the drawings, and simulated the design of the interior furnishings according to her own aesthetics, which now comes in handy.

Qin Hanzhen hurriedly returned to the room, took out the floor plan, and explained it to his grandmother in detail, so as to ask for her opinion.

Niu Shi looked at the drawings and couldn't imagine what the various decorations painted on the paper would look like in reality? She fiddled with the drawings over and over again for a long time, and finally said in a tangled way: "Let's take the drawings to the new house to have a look." What can you see just by looking at these pictures?"

Qin Hanzhen could also understand her entanglement, so he agreed, and then pointed to the newly painted furniture pattern in the picture, and said, "Look, because this house is not a place for our family to live for a long time, it is just prepared to rest when we occasionally enter the city, so there is not much furniture added." Its original furniture was pretty good, at most a few more samples were not available. I drew them all, and I also marked the descriptions on the pictures. According to the instructions on this map, there are not many new furniture that needs to be added to the house of Confucius Temple, and many of them are old things that are already in the house. Compare this diagram with the list handed in by the account office to see how big the difference is between the two. Even if this house is twice as large, I am afraid that all those furniture furnishings or something, it is estimated that it will be able to be used all. ”

Niu Shi frowned and looked at Mama Hu.

Mama Hu couldn't tell what was going on: "There is no new Mr. Accounts in our family now, all the old qualifications are used in the accounts, and the stewards outside all have backgrounds, so it stands to reason that there should be no mistakes." Could it be a misunderstanding?"

While speaking, Qin Bai re-entered with Qin Jian.

He took the list of accounts and explained to his wife Niu and granddaughter Qin Hanzhen: "There are indeed three houses with furniture and furnishings here. One is the Confucius Temple, which we keep for ourselves, and the other is the house in Huaiqingqiao, which I have prepared, and if Guanglu decides to stay in Jiangnan in the future, I will give him the house. Otherwise, although he has some silver in his hand, he is not familiar with the place here, and if he wants to settle down, where is it so easy. He is now dependent on us, and has neither a house nor a land, nor an inheritance, and once we are gone, where will he go? If he had a house, he would be able to do it cheaper in the future. ”

Niu, Qin Hanzhen, and Qin Jian didn't expect him to think so long-term, and they were all taken aback.

Niu Shi frowned and said: "That's just a nonsense sentence that his Lao Tzu said casually, how can he take it seriously? How old is he? Even if there are a few subordinates to serve and some silver in his hand, there is no reason to support the portal alone." We don't have to pay attention to what he says, when we return to Beijing, we will naturally take him back. If he is not convinced, he can only come to us and speak. What are we afraid of him?"

Qin Hanzhen and Qin Jian also nodded.

Qin Bai smiled: "I'm just prepared." Although I bought this house, I don't plan to let Guanglu know about it for the time being. If he returns to Beijing with us in the spring next year, this house will naturally be bought for nothing, and it will be handed over to He Xin to take care of. If he decides to stay next year, it's not too late for me to tell him about the house. Don't mention it to him or anyone else. ”

When Niu, Qin Hanzhen and Qin Jian heard this, they all secretly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts. Although Qin Bai's move was a bit abrupt, and the house was bought too early, it was always his heart as an elder. As long as he didn't persuade Zhao Mo to stay in Jiangnan, it would be fine.

Qin Hanzhen put aside this question and continued to ask Qin Bai: "Then where is the other property? Didn't you just say that the things on the list were actually prepared for the three houses?"

Qin Bai said with a smile: "There is also a house, which is actually a house in front of the store and a house in the back, which I am going to give to Doctor Ye." I am very grateful to him for his hard work in treating your grandmother and recuperating her body. I heard that his parents died, and his wife's family was in Jinling City, so it was not very convenient to travel back and forth. At the end of the year, his father-in-law was not in good health, and his children must have returned to the city to take care of him. I can't let Dr. Ye and his wife live separately, or close the medical center, right? I give him a property in Jinling City, so that he can open a medical center in the city, and have a place to stay, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"

Qin Hanzhen suddenly realized. Niu's face was so moved that his face turned red, knowing that his husband did it for himself, holding his hand, pursing his lips and smiling without speaking.

However, Qin Jian had a question: "What about Doctor Ye's medical hall in the town?"

Qin Hanzhen replied for his grandfather: "The medical hall in the town is not only Dr. Ye who sits in the hall, and let the others sit in the medical hall as usual. Dr. Ye went into the city and opened a small medical hall, just like opening a branch library. When we move to the Confucius Temple, if we want to ask Dr. Ye to see a doctor, we don't have to run back and forth for dozens of miles. ”

Although it seems that Qin Bai is a little too generous, he will buy these three properties, but two of them are ready to be given away. But Qin Han's sincere question was finally answered, and he was no longer entangled in his heart, and instead discussed with Qin Jian, did the two houses to be given away need to be arranged in advance?

Qin Jian volunteered to decorate the house near Huaiqing Bridge. Qin Hanzhen thought that it was likely to be Zhao Mo's future residence, so he didn't want to give this opportunity to others, so he only said: "I've known Cousin Zhao for a long time, and I know his preferences better, so let me arrange it." ”

Qin Jian had something in his heart, how could he possibly let his cousin go to receive this messenger? He said to Qin Hanzhen: "Aren't you going to decorate the house over there in the Confucius Temple? Time is so tight, don't make a mess." The house on this side of Huaiqing Bridge will be handed over to me. If you still feel that you are too idle, you can set up the infirmary, right?"

Qin Hanzhen said: "We don't need to go out of the medical hall, right? We are all laymen, how do we know how to arrange a medical hall? Or send the deed over and let Dr. Ye dispose of it by himself." The house over there in the Confucius Temple is very easy to decorate, and it won't take me a few days. At the Huaiqing Bridge, it doesn't matter if it's slow. Anyway, even if Cousin Zhao really wants to live in, it will be after the beginning of spring next year. I can totally ...... slowly."

Qin Jian interrupted her: "Can't be slow. After a pause, he added, "As the year approaches, there are many things in the clan and family." There are many sacrifices in the lunar month, and there is no work in the first month, and if you don't hurry up to arrange the house as soon as possible, you will be procrastinating, and I am afraid that if you wait until the spring of next year, the house has not been cleaned up, so that people can't live in it. ”

Seeing that the brother and sister were about to quarrel, Niu Shi hurriedly played a round: "Okay, what's the big deal? Brother Jian wants to do it, let him go, just don't delay your homework." If Sister Sang is free, she should come and talk to her grandmother more. ”

In a few words, the matter was settled. Qin Bai also nodded, with a very approving expression.

Qin Jianzhi was complacent, Qin Hanzhen pursed his lips, did not say anything, and reluctantly accepted his grandparents' arrangement.

She didn't see it, Qin Bai and Qin Jian glanced at each other, and the two seemed to have reached some kind of unknown tacit understanding.
