Chapter 12: Into the City
"Well, well." Seeing that the two children wanted to go by themselves, and she was reluctant to let them go, Ye's mother, who was already a little hesitant, had no choice but to agree.
After deciding to go to Hangzhou, the family began to prepare for moving, and fortunately, the family's land was rented to others, and they only needed to settle once a year, so they didn't have to worry about the land being wasted.
The next day, Ye Mu rented an ox cart in the village, loaded the things into the car, and then drove out of the village.
"Sister of the Ye family, where are you moving to?" A middle-aged aunt asked after passing by and seeing it.
"Aunt He, these two children have been admitted to Luming Academy, and they are planning to go to Hangzhou to take care of them!" Ye Mu said with a smile, there was still a meaning of showing off in her words, after all, Luming Academy is notoriously difficult to enter, and the youngest grandson of the village chief's family was not admitted last year.
On the way out of the village, conversations like the one just now often happen, every time someone asks why they moved, Ye's mother will tell her about the two children being admitted to Luming Academy, Ye Xipo has no patience, because he knows that today is the three years since his father's death, and his mother is the happiest time, looking at his mother with a proud tone, as if he was as happy as he was admitted.
Out of the village ox cart to the direction of Hangzhou City, although this time it is an ox cart, but the speed is not much faster than walking.
It was only in the afternoon that I finally entered the city of Hangzhou.
After arriving in Hangzhou City, Ye Xipo and his entourage first went to the dental shop, in ancient times, the dental shop was the same as the current intermediary, they now want to buy a house in Hangzhou City, they may not be able to do it, but it is still possible to rent one, after talking to the people of the dental shop, they rented a small courtyard in the alley near the academy, and after everything was negotiated, they began to settle down the family and buy some furniture.
It was not until night fell that Ye Xipo's family could be considered to have completely settled in Hangzhou.
"Auntie, let's go to Yifeng Pavilion for dinner, I drool when I think about their food." Erzhu looked at the sky outside and said to Ye Mu, who was still sweeping the floor, sitting on the doorrail.
Ye Mu looked at Erzhu suspiciously: "Is that the restaurant you talked about last time?" ”
"Mother, that's the family, why don't we go to Yifeng Pavilion today to celebrate the housewarming of the new house?"
Ye Xipo poured a glass of water and handed it to Ye Mu, and then replied.
Ye Mu also heard a sentence about Yifeng Pavilion last night, and then was diluted by the fact that the two of them were admitted to Luming Academy.
However, Ye Mu did not refuse, and after sweeping the ground, she followed Ye Xipo to Yifeng Pavilion.
"Yo, Ye Gongzi, I heard that you went home, but I didn't expect to come back so soon, come inside, please." As soon as a few people walked into Yifeng Pavilion, Steward Qian came to meet them.
Ye Xipo replied with a smile: "I just came back, this is my mother, who came to accompany me and Erzhu to study together." ”
Steward Qian saw that there was a woman in about thirty beside Ye Xipo, "Come on, come on, Mrs. upstairs, please, Mrs. is coming to Xiaolou for the first time, if there is anything inconsiderate, please forgive me." ”
Steward Qian said to Ye Mu with a smile on his face.
This money steward is in charge of this Yifeng Pavilion, so even in this Hangzhou City, he has a bit of status, but today he has repeatedly laughed, which makes the surrounding scholars a little puzzled, but although others don't understand, Qian Guan knows it.
Even if it weren't for Ye Xipo's amazing talent, just knowing the son of the prefect and the son of the Zhao family, this is not something he can afford to provoke, so even if he is careful, it is not too careful.
After watching a few people sit on the second floor, Steward Qian walked up with Xiao Er.
"Anchovy shark fin, mushroom duck paw, lotus tofu, I'm afraid I have already moved before my wife comes, this is the Baifeng brew treasured by Yifeng Pavilion, I wish my wife a successful housewarming." The money steward deserves to be the steward of Yifeng Pavilion, and the ingenuity of this mind is also rare for people to match.
Every time he was courteous to Ye Xipo, he was quietly blocked back, and after knowing that Ye Xipo was not good at making friends, he turned around to please Ye Mu, after all, this is all the same meaning.
"By the way, Ye Gongzi, Zhao Gongzi left a message saying that if you come back, please go to Zhao Mansion to find him." Steward Qian was about to go downstairs when he patted his head and said to Ye Xipo.
"Got it." Ye Xipo replied after hearing it.
After seeing that the money steward had completely walked downstairs, Ye Mu suddenly said to Ye Xipo with a straight face: "Ye'er, let's come less in the future, although you deserve it, but if you come here to eat every day, it is not a thing." ”
"Mother, don't worry, these children understand."
After getting Ye Xipo's assurance, Ye Mu also let go of the last scruples, and praised the delicious things made by Yifeng Pavilion during the banquet.
Even Ye Xipo accompanied Ye Mu to drink a lot of Baifeng wine, this wine has a mellow aroma but is not intoxicating, but it is similar to modern fruit wine.
The next day, Ye Xipo didn't wake up until noon, and knew from Erzhu that Ye Mu went outside to find something to do, and then went out after saying a word to Erzhu.
After going out, Ye Xipo first ate breakfast at a stall not far away as usual.
"Uncle Tian, two buns and a bowl of porridge." Ye Xipo shouted towards the shop.
"Right now, what a coincidence you've come, the last one." Uncle Tian put things on the table and said.
Ye Xipo smiled at the corner of his mouth and said, "I've always had good luck." ”
After eating breakfast, Ye Xipo walked towards Zhao Qing's house, but he didn't forget what Qian Guan said last night.
Fortunately, the Zhao Mansion is a famous family in Hangzhou, and after asking a few more people, Ye Xipo came to the front of the Zhao Mansion.
Walking to the gate, after Ye Xipo said to the two servants guarding the gate, one of the servants entered the house and reported that the bullying of the servants on TV did not happen.
After a while, a housekeeper walked out, "It's Ye Gongzi, right?" ”
"Exactly."
The steward walked to Ye Xipo's side and said, "Ye Gongzi, the third young master explained yesterday, Ye Gongzi, you are coming, but now the third young master is at the master's place, I will take you to the lobby and wait for a while?" ”
"That's fine." After Ye Xipo heard this, he followed the steward to the house.
The lobby of the Zhao Mansion is not a small room with only one table in the Ye family, strictly speaking, the area of this lobby is equivalent to the small courtyard of the ancient temple village, there are seats on the left and right sides of the lobby, and a pair of Yan Zhenqing's real works are hung in the middle, from here you can see the background of the Zhao Mansion, and there are several maids standing in the lobby.
After seeing the housekeeper bring Ye Xipo to the lobby, he made tea and poured water, and the fruit platter was brought up one by one.
