The next morning, before there was nothing important to do when he just returned to the capital and no one was looking for trouble, Yang Zhen rushed to the address of the new house written on the deed together with Zhang Luo's second daughter and Cai Yingyang, who came over later.

The house was not far from their current home, deep in a small alley called Qingshui Hutong. When they came to the door of this house, they sighed a little, especially Zhang Jingyun, whose eyes lit up: "Wow, this house is much more spacious than where we live, and the gate of this courtyard alone is more than twice as big as ours." "Because this house originally belonged to merchants, its gate was only opened in the alley, and not to the other side of the street, and there were some rules in the capital that still had to be observed, such as except for officials, the doors of other people's houses were not allowed to open to the street.

Yang Zhen smiled faintly, he had already read the details on the deed, and knew that this house had three entrances, although it could not be compared with those real mansions in the capital, but for ordinary people, it was already a rare good place to live, especially in the capital, where every inch of land is valuable, that is, officials who are five or six grades may not be able to afford such a good location, and they still live in a comfortable mansion.

While the others were still looking at the scenery and environment at the door, Yang Zhen had already come to the closed courtyard gate, picked up the shiny door knocker and buckled it three times. A moment later, a crack was opened in the door, and an old man in his sixties squinted his eyes and poked his head out and asked, "Dare to ask who the guests are looking for?" ”

"My surname is Yang, but I came to see this new house, I wonder if the old man has received the news?" Yang Zhen said and showed the deed he brought with him.

The old man was stunned for a moment, and after carefully reading the deed, he said twice, and quickly opened the door completely: "It turned out to be Lord Yang, please forgive me, the little old man is rude, please come in." After Yang Zhen and the others walked in the door, he smiled again: "Xiao Lao'er did hear the original owner of the house say that this house already belongs to an adult surnamed Yang, presumably it is you, master, right?" ”

Yang Zhen has already honed a power that is different from ordinary people, so don't look at his young age, but most people will not regard him as the son of a certain official eunuch.

Yang Zhen was still very satisfied with the old man's attitude, so he nodded: "Yes, I am the new owner of this house, but I don't know when the old man feels that it will be convenient for us to live in?" ”

"Ouch, the old man's words will kill the old man, the old man is just a subordinate who guards the house, how dare he be the master? As long as you feel that it is suitable, you can move in whenever you want. It's just ......" The old man hurriedly waved his hand, looking sincerely frightened.

"But what? By the way, I don't know where the old man's surname is? Yang Zhen's eyes swept around, and found that the courtyard after entering the door was extremely spacious, several big trees sheltered the entire courtyard in the shade, and on the opposite side was a hall that should be used for receiving guests, and at the end of the corridor on both sides were two small halls, which should be prepared for more important guests. As for the rest of the situation, it was not visible because the hall stood there.

"The little old man's name is Fu Gui." After the old man reported his name, he said: "This house is only watched by Xiao Lao'er and his wife, but there are no other slaves, so if you move here, the manpower is a little insufficient." ”

"Hmm......" Yang Zhen frowned a little puzzled, to be honest, since he came to this era, he really hasn't lived the rotten life that the upper-class people of this era should live, so he is a little puzzled by what Fu Gui said about slaves and the like.

Fortunately, there are still people around him who understand this business, seeing that he was timid, Luo Yueying, who was looking at the surrounding environment, smiled faintly: "This is okay, as long as we go to the market for a turn, we can invite the maid in the back house, the servants in front, and the master in the kitchen." ”

"Ah, you have to invite so many people to live here?" When Zhang Jingyun heard this, she couldn't help but grin, looking surprised. She had followed her grandfather in the rivers and lakes since she was a child, and although she had lived in many mansions of wealthy families - such as Zhang Juzheng's - she never really paid attention to these things.

"Yes, girl, this house is so big, how can there be no servants? And Erlang, how can he say that he is also an official, he can't always work, you often cook for him, right? It's fine if it's just a family, but what if it's a guest? In addition, the work of sprinkling and cleaning, reception, etc., also had to be done by servants, so naturally some people had to be invited back. Luo Yueying patiently explained to Zhang Jingyun and Yang Zhen, who was also a little ignorant about this.

What Mrs. said was that it was with this in mind that Xiao Lao'er felt a little embarrassed. But since the lady is ready, of course the little old man doesn't dare to talk more. Fu Gui hurriedly nodded and agreed.

As soon as she heard him call herself Mrs., Luo Yueying's face turned red, but she was still quite happy in her heart, so she didn't refute it, but just said to Yang Zhen: "Erlang, don't worry, I will help you get this kind of thing done, you just have to concentrate on your own affairs." ”

Yang Zhen breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and arched his hand at Luo Yueying: "Thank you Madame for helping me, otherwise Master Ben wouldn't know where to start." As he spoke, he smiled narrowly at her.

"You...... Hmph, Jingyun, let's ignore him, let's go, go and take a look at the back. As soon as he said it so deliberately, Luo Yueying's face turned even redder, and she pulled Zhang Jingyun and walked inside, while the latter was eating and smiling, obviously feeling very happy.

Fu Gui glanced at these young men and women a few times with some surprise, and then realized the fact that they didn't seem to be married. However, a subordinate like him naturally did not dare to ask about his master's private affairs.

When I turned around the hall, I saw a courtyard slightly smaller than the front, with many flowers and trees planted in it, and it was spring, and the well-known and unknown flowers were blooming, which was very pleasing to the eye. Behind the flowers and trees, there is a courtyard wall that is not too high, separating the front and back courtyards, and there are two small moon doors on the wall.

After walking through the Moon Gate, you will come to the second courtyard. The arrangement here is a little more complicated than the first courtyard, for this is the center of the whole house, where most of the servants live, and where the kitchen is located. Therefore, there are more than 10 rooms of all sizes here, but the scenery is very ordinary.

Here, they also met Fu Gui's wife, an old lady in her sixties who was kind and kind. After learning their identities, Fu Shi hurriedly asked for peace, and took out his newly made food to honor the master's family.

After seeing these two courtyards, Yang Zhen and the others passed through another moon gate and came to the last courtyard, which was where they would live in the future.

The environment of this back house is much better than the front, not only have flowers and trees like the first courtyard, but also have several separate small courtyards scattered among them. The area here is also the largest in the entire house, accounting for more than half, which shows the owner's unshakable position in the house.

"How is it, Yueying, are you still satisfied with our new home?" Yang Zhen glanced back at Luo Yueying and asked with a smile.

Because Fu Gui and his wife were not around at the moment, Luo Yueying finally didn't feel as shy as before, but just glanced at Yang Zhen: "Hmph, you know that you are cheap in your mouth." If it's Hangzhou, it's just so-so. But this is the capital, and it is very good to have such a spacious courtyard. And let's just count such a few people, even if you count Yingyang, such a large yard is still a little deserted. ”

"Do you feel lonely? This is easy to do, as long as we ......" Yang Zhen smiled when he heard it, and was about to say something nonsense, but he only heard Zhang Jingyun say: "This is easy to do, as long as we call the eldest brother and them to live together, wouldn't it be good?" ”

"Uh......" Yang Zhen's words to his lips were blocked back by her.

And Luo Yueying immediately clapped her hands and responded: "Yes, I mentioned it to Sister Jingyun before, why did I forget him." Jiro, you won't forget about this too, will you? ”

"Of course not." Yang Zhen immediately denied it, but he felt extremely ashamed in his heart, he had indeed left his brother Yang Chen behind. Although on the way back to the capital, he also talked to his two daughters about Yang Chen's presence in the capital, and he was worried about his recent life, so he didn't want to forget about it later.

In fact, it's no wonder that Yang Zhen doesn't talk about brotherhood, because in his impression, his brother has already been killed by the Zhang family in Jiangling, and now this Yang Chen, he only regards him as a friend. But since they are called brothers, it is natural that they should take care of each other. I don't know how he is doing in the capital here.

Seeing that Yang Zhen was a little stunned, Luo Yueying asked with some understanding: "What, do you miss Lord Yang a little?" ”

"Yes, I have offended a lot of officials in the DPRK and China, and he is an official in the DPRK, and I am really worried about his current situation. Later you will go around the market and see if you can buy some servants who are pleasing to your heart, and I will go to him. Yang Zhen didn't deny it, nodded and said. He already knew that Yang Chen had gone to the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry on an errand after entering Beijing, so if he wanted to find Yang Chen, he only had to go there and inquire.

"Well......" Luo Yueying nodded, and then peeked at Zhang Jingyun and them, who were walking into several small courtyards in front of her, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "I'm very satisfied with our new home, now I'm just waiting for when Erlang you go to Hangzhou......" In the end, her whole face was as red as the peach blossoms in front of her.
