139 listen to gossip to buy a house
readx; Zhuang Hua suppressed his strong curiosity and said with some doubts: "Seeing that girl is full of ladies when she arrives, the person who is called her brother...... How can there be such a big gap? It's really hard to figure out. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Zhong Bing followed Van Gogh's words and said: "The matter of the sister and brother is timely and I don't tell Hua Gongzi today, he will know if he has lived in Yuqing for a long time, instead of letting you listen to those crazy words, it is better for us to tell you today." ”
Fan Gu nodded, "Cheng Fang, the head of the Cheng family, was originally a doctor of Guanglu in the previous dynasty, but he was demoted to a doctor in Taizhong for his crimes, and then he asked to leave the dynasty. After he resigned, he fell ill and died in less than a year, and his wife died of excessive worry in the same year, not far before and after, leaving only the eldest daughter who was only seventeen years old and the sister-in-law Cheng Jun, who was only twelve years old before the weak crown. In order to take care of the younger brother Cheng's family, the daughter asked Yang Chengjun to withdraw from the marriage, stabilized the family's affairs with the strength of one person, and took charge of the family affairs on behalf of the younger brother. ”
Speaking of this, looking back and Zhong Bing's seriousness have both admiration and regret and a trace of imperceptible contempt, Zhuang Hua naturally knows why, the female housekeeper is not as the main mother, then this family must be cold-eyed, just because she is a woman, not for anything else, Zhuang Hua's heart sank, and he secretly sighed and sighed.
"I thought that Cheng Jun would be able to share his sister's worries when he became an adult, but unfortunately, he went astray and joined forces with the children of the same clan, and he didn't know about family and country affairs." What Fan Gu could say had already been said, and Zhuang Hua probably understood what was going on.
Many things can't be said on the surface, for what crime were the old ministers of the former dynasty degraded? Why can a large family tolerate a woman in charge of the whole family? How could such a shrewd and capable woman as the eldest lady of the family teach her younger brother to be like this? This is all within the scope of what cannot be said, so Zhuang Hua didn't ask, just nodded and agreed: "It's so ill-fated, it's really pitiful." ”
Qing Fan's ear power was excellent because of his martial arts, and he heard it clearly on the side, and he was angry, so he pressed down and coughed angrily for Zhuang Hua to hear.
Zhuang Hua understood and said: "It's not too early to see the time, and I will leave first if there is something important in the future." On the other day, when I settle down in Liaoqing, I will go to the house to pay a prayer post, and then the two of you should not pretend not to know you. ”
After saying goodbye to Fan Gu and Zhong Bing, Zhuang Hua took Qingfan out of the restaurant, got into the carriage, and left.
On the way, Qing Fan has been talking to Zhuang Hua, holding grievances for that Miss Cheng, and being angry for that Cheng Jun is not angry, Balabala all the way, Zhuang Hua just listened, and talked to Qing Fan when he sought approval, and the two came to the vicinity of the palace.
Zhuang Hua interrupted Qing Fan and said, "Qing Fan, let's look around here to see if there are any Howling Grasses." ”
Zhuang Hua wanted to look for it directly near the palace, after all, it was too time-consuming to look for it slowly one by one, so it was better to look in a suspicious place first.
The palace is heavily guarded, and the vicinity of the palace is not bad, but fortunately, Qing Fan came back soon, and there was no palace gate guard to attract attention.
Qing Fan returned to the carriage, obviously overexcited, and was tripped when he got into the carriage, Zhuang Hua saw that he had already figured it out in his heart, sat on the wheel and shook the long reins, turned the head of the carriage and left the vicinity of the palace, this place is really dangerous, especially for people with bad intentions.
Zhuang Hua's new identity "Yasukuni White Crane, Shiren Huazhuang" was accidentally discovered by Zhuang Hua in her luggage on the way to Liaoqing, and it had always been prepared for her by Yueqiu.
This identity is obviously very useful, and Zhuang Hua is not short of money, so when the sun is west, he finally finds a house in Nancheng, close to the palace, that was sold due to the owner's move.
If you want to say that the people of Yangguo will decorate, it is almost the same as the mountain mansion of Shaoguang, it is magnificently decorated, and there is no nouveau riche taste, every scenery is so exquisite, revealing a sense of luxury, but the price is not cheap, if there is no generous funding from Qi Jin, Zhuang Hua thinks that she and Qingfan's days in Yangguo may have to rely on the store to spend.
The person in charge of the handover is very neat, I heard that Zhuang Hua is the first time to Xiaoqing, anxious to find a house, with the fastest time to make a deed, one hand to pay the money and one hand to hand over the house, all kinds of procedures are complete, there is no time rush and caused errors and omissions.
Zhuang Hua was very satisfied with this, and the person in charge of the handover was also happy because of Zhuang Hua's generosity, because in the eyes of the Yangguo people, the Yasukuni people seemed to be too strict about everything, including the price, and Zhuang Hua, a Yasukuni man who was not very qualified, was unexpectedly likable.
On the same day, Qingfan was left in the new house by Zhuang Hua, and the original owner left more than a dozen servants, and he was not afraid of someone breaking into the empty door, while Zhuang Hua took the coachman who was left behind with benefits, and went back to the post house to pick up his luggage.
It was dark very early, and Zhuang Hua originally planned to leave the post house overnight after taking his luggage, but unfortunately, it rained before he stepped out of the door of the post house.
"Heaven is going to keep people." Zhuang Hua looked at the rain curtain outside the door and turned back to the room of the post house.
It turned out that Qing Fan lived next door, but now Qing Fan didn't follow, and Zhuang Hua didn't think about being stingy and pushed back the upper room next door, so he simply let the coachman live there.
There was no light in the room, Zhuang Hua stood by the window, the window was open, wearing a heavy cloak and holding a hand warmer in his hand. The winter of Xiaoqing is not as cold as Yan Ze, but it still has the chill of winter, and this kind of wet and cold rainy day makes Zhuang Hua feel that there is a cool breeze in the cracks of his bones. In Zhuang Hua's shadow.
A person appeared silently behind Zhuang Hua, hiding in Zhuang Hua's shadow like a ghost.
Zhuang Hua tilted his head slightly, and then looked at the pouring rain in front of him, "Something?" ”
Yuan Xi was not surprised that Zhuang Hua noticed him, although most people didn't notice it when he approached, and even didn't know how he died.
"Walking around the city with that little girl today, can you gain anything?"
Zhuang Hua thought about whether to tell Yuan Xi about the discovery, afraid that telling him that he would ruin his plan, and not telling him that if something went wrong with him, wouldn't the clue be broken. After weighing it repeatedly, Zhuang Hua still told Yuan Xi, "We found traces of Xing Le near the palace. ”
Yuan Xi's eyes lit up, "Can you be sure?" ”
"Yes, but the traces were left about half a year ago, I'm afraid that it will be too long, and the person has been transferred." Zhuang Hua voiced his concerns.
"At this point, I can guarantee that Xing Le and Shanting will not be transferred." Yuan Xi said: "Although I was injured and left Yangguo, the spies left behind did not relax their surveillance of Xiaoqing at all. Half a year ago, the people of the crown prince and general returned to Xiaoqing, and there have been no transfers, and there are also our people at the gates of the city day and night, and there will definitely not be a trace of news. Your findings match the news. ”
After getting Yuan Xi's affirmation, Zhuang Hua was more relieved, and put forward a request that was not a requirement, "Can you do me a favor?" If Yuan Xi doesn't agree, she won't force it.
"If you do what you can, you will definitely not shirk." Yuan Xi promised very happily, but it was the same as if he had never promised.
Zhuang Hua secretly rolled his eyes, "I bought a house in the south of the city, and tomorrow I will select someone to fill the mansion, and I will probably hand over this matter to the housekeeper who signed the deed of sale left by the original owner." I'm not very good at this, and I don't have the energy to sort out the people in the house, so I want to ask you for help, and the people I want to enter the house don't let me spend extra effort to straighten out. ”
Yuan Xi thought it was a big deal, "Next time you can ask for something more inconsequential, so that I have a reason to refuse you directly." ”
Zhuang Hua seemed to have found the feeling of joking with his friends in the original world, raised his hand and rubbed his chin, and said: "In the past, these things were all done by Yanrong, I thought that since Yanrong did it, you probably did it too." ”
Yuan Xi raised his eyebrows, "Do you look down on Yanrong or me?" ”
Zhuang Hua hurriedly said: "No, no, no, I don't look down on myself, I don't know anything, and it will be difficult to live a difficult life without Yanrong." ”
"Are you joking or serious?" Yuan Xi couldn't tell what kind of emotions were hidden under Zhuang Hua's expressionless face.
Zhuang Hua put away his joking psychology and looked directly at Yuan Xi, "Of course it's serious." Then she suddenly found that Yuan Xi's reaction seemed to be a little wrong, why did Yuan Xi's mood become unstable after she arrived at Yanrong? Although Yuan Xi's gaffe was only fleeting, it still allowed Zhuang Hua to capture it. "Do you know Yanrong?" Zhuang Hua asked tentatively.
Yuan Xi knew that it should be denied, and there was no flaw in what should be denied, so that people couldn't see the clues, but in the face of Zhuang Hua, Yuan Xi subconsciously replied, "Yes." ”
As soon as the answer came out, Yuan Xi felt momentary annoyance, but at the same time, his heart was also relaxed, and his eyes were burning at Zhuang Hua's inquiring eyes, although he knew that Zhuang Hua might not be able to see clearly at all, but he still maintained a reasonable and confident expression.
In fact, as long as there is no thunder on a rainy night, the sky is not very dark, and in the reddish night, Zhuang Hua can see clearly the expression and demeanor of the department because of the passing welfare.
Zhuang Hua seemed to be friends who had been friends for many years, and inquired about the status of their mutual friends, "How is Yanrong after I leave?" ”
Won-seok's eyes flashed with sarcasm, "She trusts you very much, so she's very sad and sad." ”
Zhuang Hua let out an obvious "oh", "Are you doing well, and no one is bullying her?" ”
"A woman supporting the mansion alone, do you think she will be bullied?" Yuan Xi's tone was already a little angry, but it was still not obvious.
Zhuang Hua said lightly: "In the end, it's just a woman, embarrassed and useful, even if I give him so many resources and rights, it's still useless." ”
"She's so much better than someone who is ungrateful." Won-Seok's voice lowered.
"It's just a plaything I bought on the spur of the moment......" Zhuang Hua's tone was full of contempt and banter, "someone really takes her seriously." ”
