Early the next morning, Li Qi went to inquire about Yang Jian according to Lin Xue's instructions, but because Yang Jian didn't have much contact with the people in the village and didn't come much, Li Qi could hear very little news.

"Mother, the eldest sister came to me again in the morning to borrow money, and said that my mother was ruthless and unjust, and her nieces refused to help." Yunyun walked in and said cautiously.

Lin Xue's face immediately changed, and she said sharply, "Yunyun, why are you so disobedient, didn't I say that I wouldn't let you go to see her?" ”

Yunyun hurriedly explained, "Mother, I didn't go to see the eldest sister, I met on the road in the morning when I was taking out the garbage, I wanted to leave, but the eldest sister kept pulling me and didn't let me go." ”

Lin Xue sighed, pulled Yunyun to sit down and said, "Then did you agree, your eldest sister asked you how much to borrow this time." ”

Yunyun shook his head, stretched out two fingers and said, "The eldest sister asked me to borrow twenty taels, but I didn't agree, and I don't have that much money on me." ”

"Okay, my mother doesn't blame you, but I'm afraid that your eldest sister will be bad for you." Lin Xue patted Yunyun's back and walked out.

The sun was just right at noon, Lin Xue walked around the yard, and then took Tianbao and Tianbei out with Yunyun and basked in the sun.

"Tianbao, I'm your mother, that's your sister Yunyun, see if you recognize it." Lin Xue hugged Tianbao and taught him to recognize people.

Tianbao tilted his head to look at Lin Xue for a while, and looked at Yunyun for a while, as if he was saying that these two people were so familiar, as if they had met somewhere.

Laughing, Li Qi walked in with his head down, and after seeing Lin Xue, he barely squeezed out a smile and said, "Xiaoxue, I haven't heard about Yang Jian, and no one in the village knows after I have asked all the people in the village." ”

Looking at Li Qi's annoyed expression, Lin Xue burst out laughing and said, "Don't forget if you don't ask, I was too angry to let you ask yesterday, and now that I've figured it out, why waste time for someone who doesn't deserve it." ”

"Really, Xiaoxue, you're not angry." Li Qi stared at Lin Xue and asked.

Lin Xue nodded, stuffed Tianbao into Li Qi's arms and said, "That's right, I'm not angry anymore, you rest for a while, I'll go pack my things, and we'll leave here the day after tomorrow." ”

Li Qi said with surprise on his face, "Xiaoxue, I'm not tired, I'll help you clean up together." Li Qi put Tianbao in the crib and happily went to help Lin Xue clean up.

In the next two days, Lin Xue's family was busy packing their luggage, and some Lin Xue, who was not commonly used, stayed, so they still loaded a carriage full.

Before leaving, Lin Xue and Li Qi went to the old mansion, and the old man talked to them in a good voice, but the Wang family kept a calm face until Lin Xue was leaving, and then said coldly, "Don't forget the filial piety silver every month, if it is missing, I will let you make up for it when I find the capital." ”

Lin Xue and Li Qi glanced at each other and said, "Mother, don't worry, we won't forget the filial piety." ”

Lin Xue took one last look at Lijia Village, although she didn't have too many good memories in this place, she still had some reluctance in her heart.

The carriage moved slowly, and not many people knew the news that Lin Xue's family was leaving, so some people asked from time to time on the road, and Li Qi answered them one by one.

The carriage went all the way north, passing through several towns, and after half a month of traveling, Lin Xue's family finally arrived in the capital.

"Mother, the capital is so prosperous, and there are a lot of people." Yunyun looked outside and exclaimed from time to time.

Lin Xue nodded, the Son of Heaven was really an outstanding person at his feet, entering the inner city, Li Qi first found an inn to settle in, and the little guy at the door ran over and nodded and welcomed Lin Xue and the others in, and then led the carriage aside and bolted it.

Consumption in big cities is also high, Lin Xue spent five taels of silver just to open two upper rooms, and after a hurried lunch, Lin Xue began to think about the problem of the house.

"Boss, do you say we are buying a house or renting a house." Lin Xue had an idea in her heart, but she still wanted to hear the opinions of others.

Li Qi thought for a while and said, "Let's buy a house, it doesn't need to be big, as long as it can live in our family." ”

"Mother, I also think it's better to buy a house, but if you rent it, you always feel that it's not your own home, and you don't have a sense of belonging." Li Feng interjected on the side.

Yunyun didn't express her opinion, but obediently took care of her two younger siblings.

It was already November, and the weather was slowly getting colder, Lin Xue looked at the sky, it was still quite bright outside, so she left Li Qi and Yunyun to take care of the children, and she and Li Feng went to inquire about the houses for sale.

Halfway through, Li Feng asked, "Mother, how much silver do we have, I heard that the house in the capital is expensive, and a slightly larger one will cost a thousand taels." ”

Lin Xue smiled and said, "Don't worry, my mother knows it." ”

The streets of the capital were bustling, Lin Xue asked several people to find out that there were houses for sale on East Street, and finally found a place after asking all the way.

There are many houses for sale, there are two entered, three entered, and one entered, Lin Xue asked the price, and sure enough, it was expensive to death, and the courtyard of the third entry cost 3,000 taels of silver to buy.

Li Feng stuck out his tongue and whispered in Lin Xue's ear, "Mother, this is too expensive, otherwise let's look elsewhere." ”

Lin Xue also had a trace of embarrassment on her face, the house was good, but the price was too high, and their family still had to live in the capital, so they couldn't buy too expensive, nodded, and said to the introducer, "Big brother, we don't have so much silver, so let's forget it." ”

The man was anxious when he heard this, "Mrs. Li, don't leave yet, if it's too expensive, we still have cheap ones here, but the place is a little smaller, or you should go and see it first." ”

Lin Xue stopped, sure enough, it was a profiteer, and as soon as he came, he introduced the expensive one, glanced at the man and said, "Then let's go, if it's appropriate, I can pay today." ”

"Good, good, good." The man smiled like a Maitreya Buddha, and after walking for a while, Lin Xue found that the place was getting more and more out of the wasteland, so she stopped and said vigilantly, "Big brother, we are going to see the house, you can't be in the wrong place." ”

The man scratched his head and said with a wry smile, "Mrs. Li, don't get me wrong, the house I told you about is right in front, although it is not in the city, but the place is big and cheap." ”

Lin Xue understood, the house was still in the suburbs for a long time, waved her hand and said, "Forget it, lead the way." ”

A quarter of an hour later, Lin Xue finally came to the house, sure enough, as the man said, the yard was very large, and there were more rooms, Lin Xue checked everywhere, the house was relatively new, and it should have been built in recent years.

Lin Xue hesitated for a long time, it was not convenient to do anything if he lived here, but if the price of buying in the city was too high, Lin Xue had no choice but to call Li Feng aside to discuss, "Feng'er, what do you think of this house, or let's take a look at the others." ”

Li Qi nodded and said, "Mother, it's good to be here, but the place is too remote, and it's not safe if you come back at night, I think it's better to buy it in the city, and it's more expensive." ”

Lin Xue thought about it, agreed with Li Feng's opinion, and said to the man, "Big brother, we still want to buy it in the city, you can see if there is a house with a slightly cheaper price." ”

The man touched his chin, turned around the courtyard twice, and said, "Yes, yes, but I'm afraid that you won't dare to live in it, that house was haunted before, and a person died, and no one dared to live in it since." ”

Lin Xue's eyes lit up, she didn't believe in any ghosts and gods at all, and there should be other reasons for the dead man, and said with a smile, "Big brother, then let's go over and take a look first, and we'll talk about other issues later." ”

As soon as the man heard the music, this haunted house had been pressed in his hands for several years, and every time he just told someone else, he was denied, but he didn't expect that this time there were still people willing to ask for it, and he was in a good mood, and the person borrowed a carriage from a family and drove Lin Xue and Li Feng directly to the haunted house.

When the sun was about to set, the man opened the door but refused to go in, stood at the door and said to Lin Xue, "Mrs. Li, you can go in and take a look yourself, if you think it's suitable, we'll pay the money, if not, then look at something else." ”

Lin Xue didn't say anything and walked in directly, Li Feng also followed, this is a small courtyard with a single family, there are about seven or eight rooms around, and there is a flower bed in the middle courtyard, because no one takes care of it all the year round, the flowers have all withered, and the house is also full of ash.

Lin Xue stood in the room and sneezed several times, covered her mouth and nose and walked out and said to Li Feng, "Feng'er, what do you think, if it's okay, let's settle it today." ”

"Mother, you're not afraid of ghosts." Li Feng raised his eyebrows and said, "The people in this house have died before." ”

Lin Xue patted him on the head and said, "Is your mother afraid of those things?" It's really nonsense, it seems that you don't have any opinions, then I'll pay the money. ”

Li Feng pulled Lin Xue's sleeve and said in a sly manner, "Mother remember to lower the price, this house is a haunted house." ”

Lin Xue gave him a reassuring look, she was the best at bargaining, Lin Xue pretended to be worried and walked out, and when she saw the man, she sighed and said, "Big brother, I really like this house, but after all, it's too unlucky to have died, I'd better take a look at something else, I'm really bothering you today." ”

The man was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Mrs. Li, this dead person is a normal thing, otherwise I will give you a hundred taels of silver less." ”

Lin Xue still shook her head and said, "For a hundred taels of silver, it can't be done, big brother, otherwise, if six hundred taels is good, then the deal will be made, if not, then I'll go and see something else." ”

"Six hundred taels, this is too little, Mrs. Li, you can go and ask elsewhere, there is no one to sell this kind of single courtyard below 1,500 taels. I only need you 1,000 taels to be cheap. The man said.
