This house is the most interesting of the curved houses, that is, the most eccentric two-entry houses. People who don't have a reputation can't build a house with three entrances privately, and if they build it privately, it is a trespass. Those businessmen who were rich but had no merit came up with this method and got two houses.

The house is divided into a front hall, a middle well and a back hall, and the east and west wings are on both sides. In front of the wing room are two corridors, and there are fences and benches next to the corridors, where you can sit in the shade and watch the scenery of the middle well. There are staggered stone paths, stone tables and stone chairs in the middle well, which is very chic.

There are trees, bamboos, begonias and the like in the backyard, but they have not been taken care of for a long time, and they are all messy. Shen Xi was interested in planting immortals, but he was not interested in fiddling with gardening, so he let the backyard be chaotic. Zhuang was very interested in the backyard and was stunned.

Shen Xi cleaned up all the rooms before, and they were all clean, and even the things on the bed were replaced with new ones. For Shen Wang, who has lived in the earthen house for a long time, it is like entering the palace. She was confused, which house to live in. Both wings have a main room and an ear room, so that there are nearly ten bedrooms.

Shen Wang tilted his head and asked, "Sister, where do you live?" ”

"You pick first." Shen Xi said, "You can choose the side room of the front hall, which is closest to your mother's master bedroom." ”

Shen Wang shook his head, "I want to be closer to my sister." ”

"The vestibule is the largest and most spacious in the wings."

Shen Wang shook his head, "I'm just a big person, what's the use of living in such a big house?" I just want to be closer to my sister. ”

Shen Xi touched her head tiredly, "Okay, then I live in the East Chamber, and you live in the ear chamber of the East Chamber, is this good?" However, the ear chambers are very small. ”

Shen Wang didn't care about the size of the room at all, and when she heard that she could sleep with her sister, she was happy to fly.

Shen Ping is still young, and there are no servants and maids at home, so he can only continue to live in the same room with the Zhuang family, but not divide the small bed.

They were so busy packing up that they forgot that it was time to eat, but although they had rice at home, they had no vegetables and vegetables, so they couldn't start the fire.

Shen Xi waved his hand, "Mother! Let's go to Juxianglou for dinner! ”

"Juxiang Building?" Zhuang looked at his clothes.

"Every time I pass by, I smell the fragrance, but I want to taste it, mother, I have money, take us there." I finally came to the town, but I didn't go to the restaurant, how can I do it. ”

"Alright, let's go then." She looked at Shen Xi's half-worn clothes and said, "However, we can't just go. ”

Zhuang was a virtuous and skillful woman, and she made a lot of clothes from the fabric that Shen Xi brought home before. For the first time, she wore a light blue deep robe, held a treasure bun, and obliquely inserted a silver hairpin inlaid with broken jade.

She picked out a dress for Shen Ping with a beast's head embroidered on a white background, and asked him to wear small shoes with silver silk soft-soled shoes. Shen Wang wore her favorite red satin dress, and her upper body was a pink floral white coat with a red head rope, which looked particularly playful. She was originally beautiful, with big eyes and red lips, where is a peasant girl, it is clear which girl from a rich and noble family.

In the end, it was Shen Xi's turn, she was about to wear this posture to go out, but she was forcibly pulled over by the Zhuang family and put on a lake-green dress.

Shen Xi lifted the skirt and asked, "Mother, why didn't I know that you made a skirt for me." ”

Zhuang sorted out the silk robe around her waist for her, and said: "Mother, I know that you don't like this fancy dress, but you are a girl, even if you don't usually wear it, there is always a time to wear it, so I made one." Since you want to go to the restaurant, dress well and don't let people look down on you. People rely on clothes and Buddha rely on gold, if we spend money and are laughed at, it is better not to go. ”

Shen Xi went in one ear and kept hearing out, ignoring Zhuang's reasoning, she was really tired after a busy day, so she wanted to eat a good meal.

Zhuang's delicate, everything is ready, and then go out. Zhuang hugged Shen Ping, Shen Xi took Shen, and the family of four went to the street leisurely.

Juxianglou is the most famous restaurant in Yueting Town, the town is rich and noble, and they are all proud to eat in Juxianglou. Pavilion chief Wang Ru'an has a special seat in Juxiang Building, even if he doesn't come, others are not allowed to enter.

The three-storey Juxiang Building is the tallest house in Yueting Town, and you can see it at a glance. It is not yet completely nightfall, and there are palace lamps lit inside and outside, which are transparent, and the noise can be faintly heard in the distance.

Shen Xi asked, "Mother, you are originally from the town, did this Juxianglou exist in the first place?" ”

"It's a 100-year-old shop." "It was originally only a two-story building, which was rebuilt 20 years ago, but some old bricks and tiles still remain. ”

"I see. Were there as many people here as there are now? ”

Zhuang smiled: "Never less." ”

After a while, their family of four arrived at the door of Juxiang Building. There are so many people here, and there are people going inside.

However, as soon as Shen Xi and the others wanted to go in, they were stopped by Xiao Er, who was standing at the door.

Xiao Er looked the family of four up and down, and saw that they were dressed well, so he asked politely, "Excuse me, does this lady have an invitation?" ”

"What invitation?" Zhuang is unknown.

Xiao Er explained: "Someone has chartered Juxiang Building today, if there is no invitation, please ask Mrs. to go back and come back another day." I will be entertained in Juxianglou. ”

"Can't you get in today anyway?" Zhuang was a little unwilling.

Xiao Er shook his head regretfully, "This old man is not an ordinary person, he is the father of the new county guard, we can't afford to offend." Please go back, madame. ”

"Hey...... Let's go, let's go and see the other restaurants. Zhuang took Shen Xi's hand.

At this moment, two more guests came to Juxianglou, and they had invitations in their hands. Shen Xi took a look, isn't this person Feng Fifth Sister-in-law from Fengjia Village, why is she here. Look again, next to her is the shopkeeper who drove her out of the fabric shop before. It turned out that this person was Feng Wu. He was one of the sinners who almost killed the Zhuang family.

Fifth sister-in-law Feng saw Zhuang's family, stopped, and did not go in. She stared at the Zhuang family with a smile, thinking to herself, how did this woman make a fortune and come to this Juxianglou like me, how could she come here. She looked at Zhuang's again, lightly applied fat powder, it was difficult to hide her beautiful appearance, just standing, but she had the temperament of everyone's ladies, and she was not inferior to her.

In the eyes of Feng Wu's sister-in-law, the Zhuang family is just a peasant woman, and she is only worthy of working for her. At that time, she had a sense of superiority, even though the Zhuang family could also read and write, but she was inferior to her, but now the Zhuang family compared her and pressed her.

The more Fifth Sister-in-law Feng thought about it, the more unpleasant it became, and the cultivation she had originally gained from reading was immediately thrown out of the clouds, and she became a mean lady. She looked at the Zhuang family and said, "Yo, isn't this the sister-in-law of the Shen family, why are you here?" She looked at Zhuang again and said, "This dress is very good-looking, and the hands are really clever, but the style is a little old." Oh, by the way, I forgot to give you all the fifty sons you worked in my house. Tomorrow, you come to my shop, and I can send you some decent materials. ”
