After drinking for a while, Guo Chen was a little uncomfortable, looking left and right, scratching his ears and cheeks, and looking at the nearby house, shaking his head again and again, and muttering in his mouth: "It's far away, it's far away, and it must not be real." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Meng Jiucheng hurriedly waved his hand secretly, signaling others not to speak, he raised his glass with a wicked smile, signaled to Chen Hongjian and the others, and said loudly: "Come, let's have a drink." ”

Everyone understood, and they all couldn't help laughing and responded in an uproar.

No one asked, which made Guo Chen very uncomfortable, and after drinking this glass of wine, he found that Meng Jiucheng was smiling evilly, and the person next to him also had a strange expression, blinking his eyes, and now he figured it out.

"You guy, secretly make a mistake." Guo Chen stretched out his hand and pointed at Meng Jiucheng, smiled helplessly, and said, "Okay, okay, I'll tell the matter, you don't have to ask me." ”

The crowd couldn't help but laugh for a long time before they stopped.

"Brother Guo, let's say quickly, we are waiting so anxiously!" Meng Jiucheng poured wine for Guo Cheng, but the smile on his face couldn't help it.

Guo Chen rolled his eyes, couldn't laugh or cry, stabilized his mind, and then said: "This morning, a certain family went to Yaxing to see a house, but they heard a news. He paused deliberately, seeing that everyone was concerned, his heart was a little relieved, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the neighboring mansion, and asked with a smile: "Do you know who bought that mansion?" Brother Meng, do you know who you want to be your neighbor with? ”

Of course, no one could answer this question, Meng Jiucheng frowned slightly, and asked, "Is it a difficult person, or has an enmity with the younger brother?" ”

"If there is a grudge, I am not afraid of him." Wang Zhongfeng said with relief: "Brother Meng is very useful in front of the magistrate of the county, and there are two brothers, Guo and Jiang, who are not afraid of him when they come to fight." ”

Guo Chen smiled, suddenly reached out and patted Meng Jiucheng's shoulder hard, and said, "It's not a bad thing, but it's a good thing." The house was bought by Tang Niangzi, living next to each other, Brother Meng, it is really a blessing! ”

Don pity?! Meng Jiucheng didn't understand why she bought a house next to herself, but her heart was relieved, it was a hundred times better than having a wicked person as a neighbor and making trouble all day long.

"Brother Guo made fun of it." Meng Jiucheng's heart was relieved, and he didn't take Guo Chen's ridicule seriously, and said: "What does she have to do with me when she buys her mansion, it just happens to be next to her." ”

Guo Chen pursed his lips, but no longer made fun of it, but smiled to himself, and said: "I'm not afraid of the brothers' jokes, after a certain family knew the news, they asked about the situation, took the tooth man there, and thought about buying the neighbor's house." But who would have thought ......"

The mansion that Tang Xixi bought was originally owned by the Feng family, and since the death of the old Feng, the two brothers of the Feng family have split up, and a large mansion has been divided into two halves. Guo Chen felt that since the boss of the Feng family had been sold, the second child must have this intention, even if he spent a little more money and became a neighbor with the Oiran lady, it was a very beautiful thing.

"He doesn't sell it, and Brother Guo doesn't have to be reluctant." After hearing this, Meng Jiucheng was a little amused, and persuaded: "It seems too eager, he may have to quote a sky-high price and make a big head!" ”

Chen Hong gradually blinked his eyes and did not speak, and seemed to be quite moved. Guo Chen scratched his head, looking unwilling.

"Even if you buy the house and become neighbors with Tang Niangzi, so what?" Meng Jiucheng shrugged his shoulders and teased: "Could it be that Brother Guo can still climb over the wall and cross the courtyard and do that trick of stealing incense and jade?" Or, Brother Guo built a pavilion next to the courtyard wall of the younger brother's house, condescendingly, and saw the situation in the courtyard of the house thoroughly? ”

"That can't be." Guo Chen admitted that he didn't do that, lowered his head and thought about it, nodded helplessly, and said, "Listen to you, I won't do that big head." Besides, Tang Niangzi has no blue eyes, and it is boring to force herself to get together. ”

"Brother Guo has figured it out, congratulations." Meng Jiucheng laughed, raised his glass and said, "Come, in order to be neighbors with the Oiran lady, the younger brother will give you a cup." ”

Everyone laughed and raised their glasses. Guo Chen also let go of his worries, laughed loudly, and raised his glass frequently.

…………

The moon has climbed into the middle of the heavens, like silver, and shines everywhere. After a day of hustle and bustle, at night, there was still no silence in the house.

Lights were lit in several rooms in the front yard, figures swayed, and the sound of chiseling and sawing was heard from time to time. Carpenters worked overnight to make doors and windows to remove and replace them that were unusable.

The row of three eight-rafter houses in the back house is also bright, Meng Jiucheng, Wang Zhongfeng and his son, as well as Liuqiao and two newly hired servants, will rest here tonight.

Originally, Meng Jiucheng was going to stay alone, but Wang Zhongfeng was not at ease, and Liuqiao also had to take care of the master, so he simply went home and brought the bedding and other things, and lived together.

Meng Jiucheng looked at the information sent by the Yazhong messenger, and saw that today's work was basically normal, so he was relieved, leaned back in the chair, and took two sips of tea.

Liuqiao moved into the house, took the basin of water, walked closer, squatted down, removed Meng Jiucheng's shoes and socks, put his feet in warm water, and scrubbed them.

It turned out that he was not used to it, but now in addition to not letting Liuqiao wait for a bath, washing his feet or something, he is at ease. Meng Jiucheng lamented the speed at which he integrated into the times, and also felt that he should give this well-behaved and obedient girl a good future.

Although the slave and maid system of the Song Dynasty was somewhat relaxed compared with that of the Tang Dynasty, and there were no cheap slaves and maids in the law, in fact, there was still a distinction between good and low. Like Liuqiao, who sells himself into slavery, he has no autonomy, and his status is much worse than that of the hired one.

Meng Jiucheng washed his feet and told Liuqiao to come up again after pouring water, he still had something to order.

There was not much time, so Liuqiao returned to the room and stood at the table.

Meng Jiucheng put down the scroll in his hand, pondered for a while, and said: "It's been a few days since I moved to this big mansion, and you alone will definitely not be able to take care of it." So, I hired two servants for the time being, and as you can see, if I don't like it, I'll hire them again. ”

Liuqiao glanced up at Meng Jiucheng and said, "But Ah Lang agrees, and the slave doesn't dare to choose." ”

"Well, that's the problem." Meng Jiucheng smiled faintly, took out a few pieces of paper from the briefcase, and said, "In this family, you are the most familiar with affairs, and I can use them with peace of mind." The house is big, there are more people, and I am busy with business, so I usually have you to manage it. Therefore, your identity must be changed, so that those servants will also have confidence. ”

Liuqiao blinked, thinking badly, and his face flushed.

has been together day and night for several years, although he has the status of master and servant, but this feeling is still there. Although Meng Jiucheng's deity is a loser, he is not that poisonous, and he does not treat Liuqiao harshly. When she changed her soul, she behaved decently, and she was admitted to the clerk's examination, and she once beat a scoundrel for her. Even if Liuqiao didn't dare to be too extravagant, he knew that the master was very capable, and he also cared about her very much, so he waited more attentively.
