Chongwen Gate is in the southeast corner of the capital, and after Chongwen Gate, it is the outer city.

Within the boundaries of the capital, every inch of land is valuable, and the inner city is inhabited by high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and most of the people living in the outer city are petty officials, wealthy families and commoners.

Like these students who are rushing to take the exam, most of them will live outside Chongwen Gate, not to mention renting a courtyard, not to mention that it is close to the Gongyuan, and there are many literati and ink writers here, which is a place where literati gather.

The price of the house outside Chongwen Gate is also different, of course, the closer to the inner city, the more expensive the house.

What's more, such a house is not available to ordinary people, and it is even more difficult to find a house with such a good location and a good meaning on Xinglin Street in Chong'an Fang.

The carriage traveled all the way and soon arrived at Xinglin Street.

As the name deserves, almost every house has an apricot tree in front of it, so at a glance, it really becomes an apricot forest.

This autumn is the time when the osmanthus flowers are in full bloom in autumn.

Spring is the season when apricot blossoms bloom, hence the name apricot list.

Therefore, many scholars will plant laurel trees, so the house on Xinglin Street is extremely popular.

I have to say that the ancients also had first-class means of flipping houses.

Seeing this, Ye Xiaolou couldn't help but ask: "I heard Aunt Fang say that the house on Xinglin Street is excellent, and the courtyard of Sanjin costs a lot of silver, right?" ”

Cui Yuanheng put away the book, nodded and said, "Six thousand eight hundred taels." ”

As soon as these words fell, Ye Xiaolou's eyes widened directly, "What?" 6,800 taels to buy a house with one or three entrances, why don't you grab it? ”

Ye Xiaolou is not good at all, this is too expensive, you must know that the house I bought for the He family in Nankang City is still a junior, and it didn't cost a thousand taels.

Seeing this, Cui Yuanheng smiled and hugged her into his arms and said, "Although this Xinglin Street is outside Chongwen Gate, it is an excellent place for feng shui. ”

"Most of the students who come to take the exam live in inns on this street, so there are a lot of students who win the apricot list every year, so the name of Xinglin Street is getting bigger and bigger, and the price of the houses on Xinglin Street is even higher than that of the houses in the inner city."

"But don't feel sorry for the silver, this is given by Fang Gongzi, in order to thank you for saving your life back then."

Ye Xiaolou was stunned when he heard this, "Fang Shiyu sent it?" ”

Cui Yuanheng nodded and said: "Yes, not only that, but I also sent a pair of authentic works of the former dynasty Yi Zhai monks, as the joy of housewarming, I like it very much, and now it is hanging in the study." ”

Ye Xiaolou couldn't help twitching the corners of her mouth, although she didn't know who this Yi Zhai monk was, but the paintings that Cui Yuanheng liked would definitely be worth a lot of money, and I was afraid that it would be more expensive than this house.

"That's too expensive, isn't it?"

Ye Xiaolou asked tentatively, in her opinion, it was just a convenient way to save him back then, even if he asked for 10,000 taels of silver, in fact, he just mentioned it casually, and she didn't expect this person to really give it.

That's 10,000 taels, not a small amount, but I never expected that he actually sent it over in another form, and it was only a lot more, didn't he have something to ask for?

Seeing her like this, Cui Yuanheng couldn't help but kiss her little cheek and said, "Well, it's okay." ”

said this casually, but after kissing her, he couldn't help but kiss her again, and then deepened the kiss.

Ye Xiaolou was kissed and his whole body was weak, he forcibly pushed him away with the discomfort, pouted at him with his slightly swollen red lips that were kissed, and said, "What are you doing?" ”

"It's coming soon."

The tone was indescribably resentful and lingering.

Hearing it in Cui Yuanheng's ears, it was even more itchy, and he couldn't wait to swallow people directly into his stomach.

Then he said in a hoarse voice: "Okay, listen to you, wait until you get home and continue." ”

Ye Xiaolou was speechless, "When did I promise you to go home and continue, Cui Yuanheng, don't you have to move an inch, you are still in the inspection period." ”

And Cui Yuanheng's eyes were slightly small, and he looked at her dangerously and said, "Investigation period? ”

"You are also my wife during the inspection period, what, do you mean to continue here?"

"Fulfill your --- for your husband"

After saying that, he bit her tender lips and kissed her with a punitive kiss, even wilder than before.

Ye Xiaolou's heart trembled, and his brain was even more confused.

What's the matter with this man?

I've been sticking to her all the way, why haven't I kissed enough?

Then I thought that my lip was bitten by him, and how could I see people if it was swollen.

So he could only beg for mercy, Cui Yuanheng restrained himself this time, did not embarrass her, hugged her tightly in his arms, and calmed down his excitement.

Soon the carriage stopped, and the door of Cui's house was already full of people, led by an elderly servant, who happily stepped forward at this moment and saluted, "The old slave has seen the eldest young master, the eldest young grandmother, and welcomes the eldest young master and the eldest young grandmother back to the house." ”

He knelt down, and the subordinates behind him also knelt together, Ye Xiaolou was wearing a fiery red cloak, and got out of the carriage with the support of Cui Yuanheng, and then saw the servant who knelt down.

And after Cui Yuanheng took her down, he put the cloak and hat on her, and then turned around and said, "Get up, Jinshi, reward ---"

After finishing speaking, he took Ye Xiaolou and strode directly into the house.

Ye Xiaolou followed him and breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, these people didn't look up, and the people around her followed behind her, otherwise she would really have no face to see.

Maybe Cui Yuanheng knew her worries, so he deliberately did so, Ye Xiaolou was a little moved, but when he thought that he was doing this, he couldn't help but glare at him fiercely.

As a result, he happened to be caught.

"But what's not to like?"

As soon as Cui Yuanheng's words fell, Ye Xiaolou was stunned, and then he had time to look at the house.

There is a sense of joy everywhere, the porch is freshly brushed with oil, everywhere is brand new, the yard is spotless, and after the second gate, you will enter the inner house.

It is very bright, with five large tile houses in the front, one two-bedroom on each side, and one wing room on the east and west, and a big red lantern on the door.

The same is true for the main room, when the curtain is lifted and enters the main hall, a warmth hits.

The room was big and bright too.

Ye Xiaolou still likes this very much.

Without waiting for Jin Nian to step forward, Cui Yuanheng had already turned around to help Ye Xiaolou uncover the cloak and said, "Are you tired, take a rest first." ”

Then he handed the cloak to Jin Nian and said, "You go and see how dinner is ready?" ”

After speaking, he glanced at her deeply, Jin Nian's heart tightened, took the cloak and said, "Yes--"

After withdrawing, she didn't forget to stretch out her hand and close the door, and her heart jumped even more suddenly, the eldest young master's eyes were so meaningful that she didn't dare to think about it, should she ---

Thinking of this, she didn't dare to slack off, and drove all the people in the yard out, "The eldest young master and the eldest young grandmother are tired all the way, let's rest first, you also go back to the room to tidy up, you don't have to wait here." ”

"The food in the stove room is well prepared, and the hot water is ready."

Jin Nian commanded, and the others didn't dare to disobey, this was the big girl who was close to the young grandmother, and naturally they all flattered her.

So the people in the courtyard soon dispersed.

And after Jin Nian left, there were only the two of them left in the room, Ye Xiaolou was glad that he didn't let Jin Nian see his lips, but the next moment he saw someone's hot gaze falling on her lips.

Ye Xiaolou's heart was beating wildly, he blinked his eyes and stepped back very uncomfortably, and his voice was a little unsteady: "You, what are you going to do?" ”
