Chapter 24: Good People

Yan Qing didn't want to rent this house, and it seemed that he could only push off his aunt's kindness on the rent. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

She tried to report to the least rent: "To tell the truth, we rented it for two taels of silver a month."

Su Jin looked at his lady and waited to leave.

Who knows, the woman said to them with joy, "Yes!" Two taels of silver a month, that's it."

Yan Qing looked at his aunt and looked like he wanted them to stay, and even agreed to the rent of two taels of silver a month.

You know, with such a small rent, you can only rent a thatched house in Lan'an County.

Could it be that the sky really dropped pies for her and her husband?

She repeated incredulously, "Auntie, did you hear me right? I'm talking about two taels of silver a month, not twenty taels, and you really agreed like that? ”

"Mrs. Su, don't worry!" The woman handed the key into her hand, looked at her and said seriously: "The old woman has been to Wenren Street a few times before, and I heard that not only Mr. Su is good at painting, but Mrs. Su is also an interesting and capable person.

To tell the truth, the old woman's wife went early, and her son went to Beijing to take care of business, and the old woman was the only one left in this family.

Coincidentally, I heard that Mr. and Mrs. Su wanted to find a house, if you can live here, the old woman can also have a companion in the future, as for the rent, you can do whatever you want..."

Hearing this, Yan Qing was slightly moved, she looked at her husband and wanted to ask her husband what he meant.

Su Jin looked at her, since the aunt treated them so warmly, they were very gracious, but they were not greedy people.

Yan Qing understood what her husband meant, they were very grateful for the aunt who didn't know each other, and when they were anxious, they handed them a bowl of soup.

She took the key and said to the woman with emotion: "Auntie, my husband and I have decided to stay, and we will give you ten taels of silver for the monthly rent, and in the future, we can take care of each other."

As soon as the woman heard that Mr. Su and Mrs. Su were willing to stay, she couldn't help but say, "Since you treat me as a concubine, the matter of rent has been decided, so you will not mention it." Hehe, as long as you live in peace, what about me! It's good to have someone to talk to."

Having said that, when paying the silver for the house, Yan Qing still insisted on giving Aunt Li ten taels of silver.

After the two of you pushed me to make a politeness, she couldn't resist Aunt Li, and the rest of the rent was put on the table, and Aunt Li went back first.

Because the house is very clean inside and out.

Su Jin and Yan Qing had nothing to clean up, and at the end of the afternoon, they went back to the house where they lived in the Ten Causeway Alley.

The two of them simply packed up a few books, two paintings and newly bought bedding, and then reluctantly left the place.

returned to Jiantou Lane, and when I passed in front of Aunt Li's house, I saw that Aunt Li had locked the courtyard door, so I should have gone out for something.

The two entered their own courtyard, and after Yan Qing and Su Jin discussed, they decided to use the east-facing room as her husband's study, while the south-facing room was their bedroom, and the north-facing room was temporarily empty, pre-intended as a guest room, although they didn't have any friends yet.

Su Jin hung "Horse Hongtu" and "Yan Nanfei" in the study, he looked at the two paintings, and his heart couldn't help but feel emotional, thinking that at the beginning, he and his wife planned to sell these two paintings to the Lu Painting and Calligraphy Museum.

Unexpectedly, the two paintings were not sold after a toss, but now they have survived.

Looking back now, I am still a little glad in my heart, thanks to the lady who is by his side and never abandons.

Thinking of it, he walked out of the study, and saw that his wife had not come back after going out, so he sat back in the study and read the book seriously.

At the end of the day, the sun was setting.

Yan Qing came back after buying rice, vegetables and meat, and carried a burden with his other hand.

"Husband!" She happily put the burden on the table of the eight immortals in the hall, and without waiting for her husband to respond, she hurriedly sent the rice and vegetables to the kitchen.

Su Jin walked to the hall with the book, glanced at the burden on the table, and walked into the room with a smile on the lady's face, he also smiled and asked her: "The lady is tired, what is in this burden?" ”

"Oh..." Yan Qing walked to the table, untied his burden, and saw that two celadon vases were exposed.

She smiled: "I saw that the vases on the stall were pretty, so I bought a big one and a small one, and by the way, I also bought a few bunches of azaleas and magnolias."

"The lady has a heart!" Su Jin said with a smile.

Yan Qing smiled at him, took out a few bouquets of flowers and put them on the table, and then she went to the kitchen to fetch water with the vase.

After filling the vase with water and inserting flowers, she sent the small vase to the study, and the large vase remained in their bedroom.

I was busy for half an hour.

Yan Qing was about to make dinner, when there were several knocks on the door outside the courtyard.

"Mrs. Sue?" It was Aunt Li's shout.

"It's coming!" Yan Qing answered, ran to open the courtyard door, but saw Aunt Li holding a food box in her hand, she smiled and asked, "Where are you going?" I'm getting ready to cook, and I'm thinking I'll call my aunt to come and eat with me later! ”

Aunt Li smiled and went into the yard and replied: "I'm not going anywhere, I'm here to deliver food to you, you don't have to cook, come..."

"Definitely love it!" Yan Qingyan held Aunt Li's hand, and in the face of Aunt Li's kindness and love for her and her husband, she felt the taste of her mother from Aunt Li.

It turned out that Sister-in-law Liu only existed in Tanglin Village.

The two helped each other into the hall, Su Jin walked out of the study when he heard the sound, he saw Aunt Li coming, and said with a humble smile: "Su and the lady can be taken care of by Aunt Li, I am really honored"

"Mr. Su is polite!" Aunt Li put the food box on the table and opened it, and the room suddenly smelled of food.

Aunt Li brought out a dish of steamed fish, a piece of fried pork with bamboo shoots, a dish of fried lettuce, a dish of Dongpo meat and four bowls of rice on the table, and then sat down with Su Jin and his wife.

She smiled: "In the future, we will all be a family, don't be polite to your aunt, if you need anything, tell your aunt directly, and I will add it to you as soon as possible."

Yan Qing took the Dongpo meat from Aunt Li, took a bite, smiled and praised Aunt Li's cooking skills and said from the heart: "Aunt Li is so good, my mother's best dish is also Dongpo meat, and the taste you cook is quite similar..."

"Your mother?" Aunt Li glanced at Su Jin and asked Yan Qingdao incomprehensibly.

"Oh!" Yan Qing smiled at her and explained: "My mother is also my mother, I like to call her like that, speaking of which, my aunt is very similar to my mother."
