"Arrived?" Brother Ping and Sister An happily poked their little heads out of the car window and looked at the big mansion in front of them.

Du Hengshuang got out of the car first, and Zhishu and Zhichai got out of the car with a child in their arms. Brother Yang'er's nurse also came down with Brother Yang in her arms and stood beside Du Hengshuang.

Du Hengxue and Ou Yangniang got out of the car of the county lord behind.

When they came in from the gate of Dingzhou, they attracted a lot of curious eyes.

However, Dingzhou City is not a small city, although it is not as prosperous as Chang'an, but this place is the territory of Xiahou's family, these years the wind and rain are smooth, and it is not at the border, there are no Turks who come to fight the autumn wind at every turn, their days are rich and leisurely, many people who have not seen the world.

When some scholars saw Du Hengxue's car, they all saw that it was a county-based car, and they said one by one: "...... Another noble person came, and I don't know if Lu Dao is a relative of Prince Xiahou's family. ”

Du Hengshuang's house here was bought a long time ago, and some of them were arranged, but they were all rough envoys and doormen in the outer courtyard, and there was also a steward who was sent from Chang'an.

Hearing that the main family actually said that he would come, the steward was so frightened that he ran over from the inner courtyard and knelt in front of Du Hengshuang, his whole body trembling.

Du Hengxue was curious and asked Du Hengshuang: "Sister, what's wrong with him?" ”

Du Hengshuang was also a little strange. They had just arrived, and they didn't have a fierce spirit, so why did they scare this steward like this?

Or Qian Bo came over and said, "Miss, this person is not honest. He was scared like this. It must have been rented to someone else while we weren't here. ”

Du Hengshuang was stunned, but she didn't blame the person in charge. This kind of thing is inevitable.

This kind of thing is also common in Chang'an.

Some officials from other places have settled real estate in Changchang, but they don't live in it, so they order a few family members to guard it. And many family members will take advantage of the absence of the main family to secretly rent the side courtyard or side room to others to live in.

When the main family comes up with a letter saying that they are going to come to Chang'an, they will take back the rented house. Cleaned up. Wait for the Lord's house to return.

Du Hengshuang smiled and said, "That's ours, I came here without saying hello to you." If you rent out the courtyard to someone else, just let them move out now. I will not cure your sin. As he spoke, he turned back to greet the guards. Discuss with Chambers how these guards are going to live.

But the steward still fell to his knees and trembled. He didn't know that Du Hengshuang actually came to Dingzhou so soon. He always thought that Du Hengshuang was just setting up a separate courtyard in Dingzhou, and their family might not come to Dingzhou for ten or eight years, so he was bold. rented a side courtyard to a family and signed a one-year long contract.

The family was not without money, but in order to catch the exam, they deliberately took their widowed mother to Dingzhou City to find a place to live, and waited for a year to participate in the big competition in Dingzhou.

It just so happened that the house that Du Hengshuang bought was in a good location and quiet, and it was full of rich and status people in Dingzhou City, and the widowed mother was worried that her son would leave home alone to study, and no one would take care of his life, so she followed. In addition, they didn't plan to live in Dingzhou, so they fell in love with the house that Du Hengshuang bought, and when they heard that they were willing to rent it here, they lived here, and now they have only lived there for less than a month.

If you break the contract now, then the steward will have to give up the one-year rent that others have paid in advance!

Of course, if he didn't break the contract, he would be sent to the yamen by the lord's family......

So he struggled for a while, then stood up dejectedly, and said to Du Hengshuang: "Thank you Madame for being magnanimous, and the little lard blinded her heart, so she rented out the side courtyard." Madame wait, and the little ones will go in and drive them out now. ”

Du Hengshuang nodded, and said to Ou Yangniang: "Foster Mother, you go in with him to have a look." ”

Ou Yangniang hurriedly followed the steward in.

The steward flattered Ou Yangniang sweating profusely along the way, and said that let her rest in the outer courtyard for a while and let him go in by himself.

Ou Yangniang smiled: "This can't be done. Our lady has commanded, and I don't dare to disobey the yin. With that, he walked ahead and walked towards the second gate.

The locations of these houses in Daqi, the outer courtyard, the inner courtyard, the second gate, the partial courtyard, and the cross-courtyard are all roughly the same. Ou Yangniang knew at a glance where the second gate of the road was.

The steward had no choice but to follow Ou Yangniang into the inner courtyard stupidly, took Ou Yangniang to a side courtyard, pointed to the courtyard door and said, "They are ...... inside"

Ou Yangniang took a sip of him, "Why don't you drive them out?" - Can't you let me in and talk to these people?! ”

The doors of this courtyard are closed during the day.

The steward stepped forward and knocked on the door and shouted, "Aunt Chi, Master Chi, our master's family is here, please move out of Lu quickly." ”

There seemed to be a lot of people inside, so I heard a panic running, and then someone opened the door with a bang, and the probe came out and scolded: "Liu Santou, you are so bold!" Didn't you say that this was your house, and how did it become your lord's house again? You ......" The man looked up and saw an old woman of extraordinary bearing standing beside the steward, and immediately swallowed the rest of the words.

Ou Yangniang said coldly: "Please move out quickly, this is our house." ”

"What's going on?" Another voice came.

The courtyard door opened, and a middle-aged woman with a round face, a round bun, and a blessed face stood in front of the door, looked Ou Yangniang up and down, and said with a smile: "May I ask who this is?" ”

Ou Yangniang lowered her eyes and was silent.

The woman was bored, chatted for a while, and then said to the steward: "Liu Sanduo, what the hell is going on?" We signed a lease, and if you break the contract like this, I can go to the government and sue you. ”

The steward Liu Santou muttered, "You better go quickly." This is mine, isn't it, am I going to pay you all the rent? Let you live for nothing for a month, and you should have fun. You also went to the government to sue me, you just sent me to prison, you still have to move out......"

When the woman heard this, it seemed that it was really Liu Santou who secretly rented out the main house, and she was also very unhappy. But she looked back at the courtyard, and the furniture in it was all of the finest quality. The environment is quiet and quiet, and the people who come and go with each other are the noble people of Dingzhou, which is much more comfortable than being a rich man in the countryside, but he is really unwilling to move away, so he looked at Ou Yangniang with his eyes and said, "May I ask you are the master of this house?" Can you be accommodating and let us stay? I can double the rent ......"

"Mother, who are you talking to? I can't even read the book anymore. A gentle male voice came, followed by. A long body. A man in his early twenties walked up and stood next to the round-faced woman.

The woman turned around, with a smile on her face, and said, "Don't worry. Something. It's good for my mother to tell them. ”

Ou Yangniang listened to this. didn't take her seriously at all, and was even more angry in his heart, nodding and saying, "This world is really weird." It's just a matter of renting someone else's house to live in. The owner of the family has returned, but he still doesn't leave. This woman, you don't look like a cheeky person, how can you do such a cheeky thing? ”

The woman was so choked by Ou Yangniang that she was almost speechless, but the housekeeper Liu Santou hurriedly said: "You guys go quickly, you can't afford to mess with our master's family." ”

"Depending on who your master family is, even if it's the Xiahou family, you can't be unreasonable, right?" When the man saw that his mother was angry like this, he also lowered his face, held his mother's arm, and said, "Mother, you go back and rest first, and I will go out to meet this master for a while." Saying that, he also said to Ou Yangniang: "You are the master's family?" ”

Ou Yangniang sneered: "Reasonable? I really don't know who is unreasonable here! Forcibly occupy other people's houses, and the Lord will not leave when he comes, and you will have a big face. - Okay, I won't talk to you anymore, since you won't move, I'll have to go out and call our guards in and help you move! With that, he turned and left.

As soon as the woman heard that there was a "guard", she immediately understood that she really couldn't afford to provoke her, so she hurriedly called Ou Yangniang and said, "This mother, wait a minute, we will move, we will move." So saying, he turned and ordered his servant to pack up her things, and soon came out of the inner court.

Du Hengshuang and Du Hengxue waited impatiently outside, only to see the door of the house open, and several servant women surrounded a middle-aged woman with a round face, and a man with a long body walked out.

The steward Liu Santou squeezed over and nodded to Du Hengshuang and said, "Madam, madam, please send someone to clean up the inner courtyard again." ”

The group of people who came out of the house immediately looked at Du Hengshuang.

The man was holding his breath and wanted to reason with the master, but Huo Ran looked up and saw Du Hengshuang's stunning appearance, only to feel a buzz in his head, and he couldn't see anyone else in his eyes anymore, and he just said over and over again in his heart: How can there be such a stunning and gorgeous woman in the world? !

Du Hengxue saw that the man was staring at his sister fixedly, and he was very uneasy, and said, "Sister, Brother Ping and Sister An are tired, let's go in quickly." ”

Du Hengshuang nodded, "It's time to go in." As he spoke, he walked up the steps without squinting.

The round-faced woman saw Du Hengshuang's posture and Du Hengxue's demeanor, and suddenly her two eyes were not enough, she looked at Du Hengshuang with a dripping look, and found that she was combing the woman's head, so she turned her gaze to Du Hengxue, and then looked at her son with a flushed face, and immediately had an idea, smiled and stepped forward to salute Du Hengshuang and said, "This lady, please stay." ”

Du Hengshuang nodded and said, "My subordinates are not sensible, they secretly rented out the house, and let you move out in a hurry, it is also ours, and please bear with me." ”

Seeing Du Hengshuang so polite, the woman was even happier in her heart, and simply said with a cheeky face: "This lady, can you be accommodating and let us live for a few more days, we are all from the countryside of Dingzhou, because my son is born, he won the show last year, and he will be in Dingzhou next year, so he came here to find a quiet place to live, so that he can study and test his fame." ”

The servant of the woman next to her also said, "Ask this woman to be accommodating." It's not early today, we have to move out, and we can't find a suitable house to live in for a while, so let's stay for a few days, and then move in when we find a new place to live. ”

The woman saw that Du Hengshuang was silent, and said, "It's convenient for you to be with others, and it's convenient for yourself." Besides, when you go out, you have to rely on friends, why don't you have a good relationship? ”

Du Hengshuang didn't want them to continue to live, but seeing that it was indeed getting late, and there seemed to be a lot of people in this family, even if they went to the inn, there might not be so many rooms to live with them, so he reluctantly nodded and said, "You can live in the outer courtyard for a few days." Wait until you find a suitable place to put it in before moving. ”

"Huh? Thank you, ma'am! The round-faced woman was very pleased, and thanked and thanked.

The man also smiled, came over to give Du Hengshuang a long slap on the ground, and said, "Thank you, Madame, for your success." His voice trembled a little.

Du Hengshuang ignored him, took the hands of the two children, and went to the house with Du Hengxue.

The steward Liu Santou wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to the round-faced woman, "You come with me." ”

The servant woman of that family was still a little dissatisfied, and muttered, "How can you live in the outer courtyard?" There are so many houses in the inner courtyard, aren't they all empty? ”

"Mama Hu, don't talk nonsense. The fact that the lady is willing to let us stay is already magnanimous. It's their family's fault, they can completely drive us away, leave us alone. Now that you are allowed to live, you still have shortcomings, it can be seen that people's hearts are not ancient, how can there be people like you in our family? What a shame on our family! The man unceremoniously reprimanded his family.

Chambers heard it beside him, and although his face was still expressionless, the lines on his face were much softened.

Du Hengshuang and his entourage entered the inner courtyard, they were so tired that they hurriedly cleaned up, ate dinner again, and washed up, but the two children were already staggering and almost fell asleep in the bath.

After Yang Ge'er finished feeding, he also fell asleep in the nurse's arms. Du Hengshuang asked the nurse to put Brother Yang down and sleep with her tonight.

Because it was the first night, Du Hengshuang and Du Hengxue both slept in the upper room of the main courtyard, with three children. The outhouses were all the servants they had brought in, and they were laying on the floor. Chambers was guarding the entrance of the main courtyard with his guards, only worried about the safety of the first night.

Luckily, there are no moths.

The family slept soundly and woke up until the sun rose the next day.

Du Hengshuang began to assign errands, take care of the cages, decorate the house, and was busy asking Qian Bo and Ou Yangniang to go to Renyazi to buy some servants and subordinates to come back.

After a busy morning, when it was time for lunch, Qian Bo happily brought in a bearded man and said to Du Hengshuang: "Miss, who do you think is coming?" ”

Du Hengshuang and Du Hengxue looked up, they didn't know each other, and couldn't help frowning.

The man opened his mouth and smiled: "I have seen Mrs. and the county lord." It was Du Xiancheng's voice!

Du Xiancheng used to dye his beard brown and yellow when he was in Chang'an, but now he has restored the previous black and trimmed it again according to the habits of Daqi men, which is completely different from when he was the king of Haixi in the past.

Even if Du Hengshuang and Du Hengxue were very familiar with him, they didn't recognize him at first glance, but it was he who spoke in his real voice that they heard it.
