The house in the north of the city is located at the south end of Qingping Street, which is relatively clean, and the two laurel trees in front of the door are deep and luxuriant, and they are still green and verdant in this late autumn season.

There was a person in charge waiting in front of the door, Chen Hao and Chen Run got out of the car and said a few words, then opened the corner door and let the carriage directly enter the second gate.

Look at the style and neatness of the walls, doors and windows, this house is still relatively new, the current structure is only three inside and outside, but the area is not small, the main house yard is particularly wide, the side across the courtyard is relatively small, and the garden behind is also very large. Generally speaking, it is smaller than the ancestral house of the Pu family, but Ruji took a turn in the garden and estimated the distance, in fact, it is possible to build a house in the future.

And now the garden is very clean, although no one lives, the garden is still planted with several laurel, osmanthus, plum trees and Xifu begonia, under the cloister there are also placed orchids, thousand day lotus, kale, annual primrose and other autumn and winter flowers, such as Xi and Chen Hao walk in the garden and the cloister everywhere Qingfen, very pleasant.

"How's this house?" Chen Hao seemed to be very clear about the internal layout of this house, and sent Chen Run and Cai Wan to ask the steward about the details such as water, fire, earth and warmth, and he personally accompanied Ru Xi to check back and forth. The corridor turns, the steps are high and low, Chen Hao always walks on the outside or in front of him to lead the way, a little bit with Ru Ji to take a closer look.

Ru Xi carefully looked at the structure and details of the house, and still liked it very much, especially at this time when the autumn sun was sprinkled in the garden, such a warm fragrance was really intoxicating. Just thinking about the price and budget that Chaolu helped calculate before, Ru Ji sighed regretfully: "This house is too big." Chaolu said that if it was two or three thousand silver, and it was not too remote and dilapidated, then he could only buy a smaller three-entry courtyard. Although this house looks like a three-entry house, the garden is so big, I am afraid that it is not much smaller than those four-entry houses with a compact layout. I probably can't afford it. ”

Chen Hao bent his lips slightly: "Don't talk about silver, just say that you like this house?" ”

Ru Xi reached out and touched the blooming thousand day lotus petals: "It's useless to like it, I can't afford it, I can only look at it." ”

"Ruji, do you like this house?" Chen Hao asked again.

Ru Ji reluctantly turned around: "I always have to leave more silver for the shop to run." I like this house a lot, what's the use of that. Casually smiled and asked, "Could it be that if I like it, you will buy it for me?" ”

Chen Hao's handsome face seemed to be smiling, with three points of seriousness, but also seven points of gentleness, and reached out to hold Ru Xi's hand: "If you like it, we will live here in the future, okay?" ”

Ru Xi only felt that Chen Hao's hand was slender and steady, and what did that mean? I couldn't turn around for a while, although my cheeks were hot again, I looked at Chen Hao blankly: ???

Chen Hao saw the cute appearance of Ruji, who had always been sharp and cunning and lively, and wanted to take her into his arms and kiss her, and a smile appeared on his lips: "This house is mine, and I came to live after I was ready to get married, so it's good if you like it." ”

This time she finally understood, Ru Xi only felt that her neck and ears were also warm, and her heart was surprised and happy, and she was full of sweetness in an instant, but her tone couldn't help but bring three points of anger: "You, you are like this again." There has never been such a big thing to say seriously. ”

Chen Hao held Ruxi's hand and tightened it again: "Yes, it's all mine." At the beginning of spring next year, I will invite the official media to propose marriage, okay? ”

"Why next year?" Ru Ji instinctively asked, and she felt embarrassed, how could the girl's family be so anxious.

But it's been a long time! Doesn't it mean that from proposing marriage to marrying and then marrying, every step takes several months?

Chen Hao didn't laugh at her this time, but only comforted her in a harmonious voice: "I know that you have been wronged at home, I will go back and give you the deed, it is better for you to move out first." I will be transferred to the Criminal Department at the beginning of next spring, although I am only a six-grade inheritance under the Anti-Theft Division, but I can be regarded as a small official. At that time, mentioning family affairs can also make you look better when you are married. ”

Hearing his gentleness and sincerity, Ru Ji became more and more moved in her heart, and said in a low voice: "I don't care about this. I'm the granddaughter of Bofu, others don't know how many catties and taels there are, you know. Step by step, I have come to the present, in fact, I am on the single-plank bridge. You don't dislike me, and I don't descare you. Whether it's a six-grade inheritance or an eight-grade catch, what I like is you. ”

Chen Hao couldn't help it anymore, reached out and gently hugged Ruxi into his arms, lowered his head and kissed her hair: "I know you don't care, it's just that even if my ability is limited, I will always give you everything I can give." ”

Ru Ji snuggled on his chest, his heart was pounding at first, and then slowly calmed down, his heart was full of stable joy and satisfaction, and after a long time, he responded in a low voice: "En." I believe in you. ”

The clouds on the horizon gradually turned brilliant crimson as the sun sank in the west, and Chen Hao and Ruxi talked in the house for most of the day, and it was finally time to return home.

Ru Ji deliberately glanced at Chen Run when she got into the carriage: "Are you colluding?" ”

Chen Run has been doing things for Ru Xi these days, and he has slowly figured out Ru Xi's temper, and she is no longer as restrained as before. What's more, when Chen Hao and Ru Xi came out side by side, the two of them were full of spring breeze, as if they were about to urge the garden full of flowers and trees, even the blind man could see how good Ru Xi was in a good mood, Chen Run bowed his head respectfully: "Where do you dare to disobey your uncle's words." ”

"What...... What words! Ru Ji was choked back unexpectedly, and then looked at Cai Wan and Xia Yue, they also pursed their lips and couldn't help laughing, although Chen Hao next to him seemed to be expressionless, the smile in his eyes was clearly the deepest one, and his face was red when he landed, and he shook his hand in the car.

However, the curtain of the car was opened, and it was not Cai Wan who followed, but Chen Hao. Ru Ji glared at him: "You guys are colluding to laugh at me now!" ”

Chen Hao said with a smile: "Where is there a joke about you, you don't like to call it like this, let them change it." It's just that this change of tone is also a matter of time. ”

Ru Xi snorted, turned her face to look out the car window, and resolutely did not admit that she was actually quite happy to hear Chen Run call him like this. However, when Chen Hao came over to hold her hand, he still obediently let him hold it.

Chen Hao put an envelope into Ru Xi's hand: "Ru Xi, this is the deed of this house." You move out earlier, under the same roof with those people, I don't worry about you. ”

Since ancient times, the house, as the most important part of property, has always been one of the most important criteria for judging a man. Ru Ji couldn't help but think of the countless arguments and bloody stories on Tianya Weibo when the new marriage law was revised, and felt more and more the preciousness of Chen Hao's heart, although she was moved, she shook her head: "It's okay, if I want to come over, I don't have to have a deed." People say that the dowry and the dowry should be comparable, that," a few hours after the marriage proposal, I talked about the dowry, and even modern people are still a little embarrassed, "The title deed of this house will be used again in the future." ”

Chen Hao still stuffed the deed in her hand: "It is precisely because the dowry and dowry should be equal that you are asked to take it." I heard about Mrs. Pu's vomiting blood and being sick now, and in addition, Master Pu seems to have a deficit in Huaizhou's ancestral business, but I'm afraid that if I don't sell the house and land in the future, Lord Pu won't be able to come up with much money. Although you have a reason to recover the dowry, if you really force Lord Pu and Mrs. Pu hard, what happens will it be bad for your reputation. I got a lot of silver in the anti-theft bounty a few years ago, and I still have some savings and business, so don't worry. ”

Dowry, fame. Ru Xi couldn't help but think about the first time she saw Su Sanniang, and Chen Hao also thought of excuses and a way back for her early on. Ru Ji couldn't tell whether she was grateful or moved, she only felt that the warmth was about to overflow, her eyes were hot and she couldn't hold back, and said in a low voice: "You think so much for me." He shook Chen Hao's hand, "Thank you." ”

Chen Hao's eloquence has never been on sweet words, although he was happy in his heart at this time, he didn't know what to say, so he only wrapped Ruxi's soft little hand more firmly in his palm: "It should be." ”

returned to Pu's house with such a good mood, and Ru Ji was ten times more pleasing to the eye than she looked. Even if Qiu's mother came over to cry and cry poorly, saying that she begged the eldest girl for grace to continue to recover the time limit for the dowry, Ruji waved her hand in a rare good temper: "Grace is not impossible, you go and discuss with your wife and make a note of statute." Even if it's a few hundred taels at a time, at least give me a quasi-date, and you can negotiate it quickly or slowly. After glancing at Mother Qiu's bijia, it seemed to be a little looser, thinking that debt collection is the best weight loss pill, so Xiang Caiyun gave a look, "Take five hundred yuan to give Qiu's mother tea, these days have been hard." ”

As his wife's companion, how could Qiu's mother have put 500 copper coins in her eyes in the past? I'm afraid that the reward for the double cicadas is too little. However, at this moment and then, Qiu's mother took it with both hands, and she was deeply blessed: "Thank you, big girl." ”

sent away Qiu's mother, and Ruxi discussed the teahouse with Chaolu again. Roughly talking about those snacks, fruit sherbets, set meals and other ideas, Chaolu bowed his head again and again: "My cousin's method is very novel." It's just that it sounds like the price is lower in order to get more customers, so the cousin might as well ask Brother Run to find a shop near the South City Gate and the East City Gate, and the two places have the most people coming and going. If there are reliable subordinates, it is good to open them on the official roads outside the city and even in Weiting County. ”

Ru Xi nodded, Chaolu really deserved to be the most business-friendly and good maid in Huanningbo Mansion, but it was a pity that she couldn't stay by her side for a long time. Now that the Chi family has dragged the last third of Yanwei's dowry and not given it, it also has another benefit, that is, to stay in the morning for a few more days. From the perspective of human resources, in the early stage when Ruxi was preparing to open a store, the business and account management that Chaolu itself could provide was already worth a thousand gold.

In the days that followed, Moondew Curie became more and more busy. Ruji and Chaolu discussed the details and plans of opening a shop, and occasionally called Chen Run in to discuss twice, continuing to find a suitable shop and design business ideas. And Cai Wan and Xia Yue went to deal with Pu Quan's daughter-in-law and Qiu's mother, and took care of the Pu family's internal affairs.

According to the groom, Chi's illness is not too important, the heart and lungs are naturally on fire, and he is full of worries, tiredness, sleepless nights and not thinking about eating, so he will be tossed into what he is now. But the foundation of the past is still there, it is nothing more than being pure and pure, and it is enough to be calm and raise it for a few days. The list of decoctions and dietary therapy is simple and cheap, to put it bluntly, it is a heart disease and a heart medicine doctor, Chi's loss is not that there is no nutrition and no supplement, and it is not even a disease caused by overwork, but it is just excessive depression and worry in a short period of time. When this result came out, Pu Yu was also speechless. After all, although the groom is not the royal doctor, he is also a famous doctor of the hanging pot family who is quite famous in Beijing, and his reputation has always been very good. Pu Yu, Ruyan and the others could only politely send Lang Zhong away, and then persuade the Chi family to relax and recuperate. As for whether Chi's can be relieved when he sees Qiu's mother send over the debt collection list that looks like a monthly calendar, then he will ask for more blessings.
