Xie Huizhi's movements were fast. He runs outside every day and knows the affairs of Jinling City very well. Before Mrs. Xie and Xie Yingrong spoke, he had already explored several good rental locations, and when Mrs. Xie finally spoke, he only took one day to "find" a good house.

The house is located at the back of Cheng'en Temple, and it is a courtyard that has been entered, and it is seven or eight years new. There are many rooms in the courtyard, three main houses, with two ear rooms, and three inverted rooms, including the flower hall, kitchen, and clean room, which are enough for Mrs. Xie and Xie Yingrong's ancestors to live, and there is also a place for the hired servants to spend the night with the Xie family who came to "serve the sick".

Of course, if you want to squeeze out a room for Xie Pu to live in in the future, it is okay, but the conditions are not too good. After all, the best room is either for Mrs. Xie, the "head of the family", or for Xie Yingrong, who is temporarily in charge of the financial power and doesn't want to treat him badly. Which room can Xie Pu sleep in?

At present, Mrs. Xie thought that she was only living temporarily, and when the government returned the Xie family's real estate, she would naturally be able to move back to the luxurious garden mansion. And Xie Yingrong only remembered that his father was going to be exiled from Beijing, and he didn't think about it. Therefore, when Xie Huizhi explained to them the benefits of the house, they decided to rent it.

Xie Huizhi also said: "In the past, our family also went to Cheng'en Temple to incense, and the monks there, the old lady must also know them, knowing that they have a kind temper and make delicious vegetarian food. Rented a house in the back street of Cheng'en Temple, with the monks in the temple to take care of, there is no worry about any hooligan ruffians who are not long-eyed to come to the door to embarrass the female dependents. The owner of the house also planted some flowers and trees in the courtyard, although it was not as good as the Guiyuan, it was also carefully raised for a long time. When the old lady is recuperating, she can enjoy the flowers occasionally, and her mood can be better. ”

Mrs. Xie has long been eager to move out of the West Courtyard and go to the good house that her grandson said, but she still has to put on a shelf: "That's it, I just want it to be clean." Cheng'en Temple is also good, I have nothing to do, I can also go to the temple to walk around, and pray for your father's incense. ”

Xie Yingrong was a little concerned: "I just don't know how much the rent is?" If it's too expensive......"

Xie Huizhi smiled: "The rent of four taels of silver per month is not expensive." I've seen it with my own eyes, and the house is clean inside and out, and it's fully furnished. There is also a well in the courtyard, so you don't have to go out to get water. Such a good house is rare, and it is inevitable that it will be more expensive. If you want the old lady to live comfortably, how can you just save money? ”

Old Madam Xie nodded: "That's a good point." Cheap but not good. It's only two months, eight taels of silver, and we can afford to spend it. She also instructed Xie Yingrong, don't be too stingy, everyone should have the bearing of everyone's lady, and worry about it for a little money, how is it different from ordinary vulgar women?

Xie Yingrong's face turned red, and she said in her heart that the old lady didn't know that firewood and rice were expensive, and she didn't spend her own private money, so it would be inappropriate. She has already regarded the eighty taels of settlement money as her own bag, and every time she spends a penny, she can't help but feel distressed. But thinking of the big plan in her heart, she could only grit her teeth and endure it. When her plan succeeds, what is this little money?

Thinking of this, she squeezed out her smile again, and took out eight taels of silver for Xie Huizhi to take to pay the deposit. Xie Huizhi quickly got things done, and hired a clean car the next day to send Mrs. Xie and Xie Yingrong to their new home.

Mrs. Xie's luggage has been packed. The hired mother-in-law lives in the area of Beimen Bridge, and she doesn't plan to follow, and she doesn't care about it, and plans to hire someone in a new place. Seeing that Xie Huizhi had prepared the carriage, she was still a little surprised: "Don't you need to take a boat?" "In the past, when she went to Cheng'en Temple from home, she always took a boat, and then changed cars when she got to the place.

Xie Huizhi said with a smile: "You don't have to take a boat, get on the bus from here and walk all the way, and we can go directly to Cheng'en Temple, which is very convenient." The car specially hired by the grandson was said to be very stable, and the old lady knew it when she tried it. ”

Where would Mrs. Xie take this kind of carriage hired from outside seriously? Could it be better than the carriage that the Xie family used to use? Holding Xie Yingrong's hand and getting into the carriage, she was still chattering: "When will we get our girls and mothers-in-law back." After all, the people hired outside are not as convenient as the old people who are used to their own homes. ”

Xie Huizhi was noncommittal, only smiled and sent her into the carriage, and then together with Wen's, Xie Jinzhi, Xie Mulin and others, they took two small cars and sent Mrs. Xie to her new residence all the way.

After Wen got out of the car, he took a closer look at the new house and found that this place was indeed very good. Although the place is smaller, in terms of the neatness and decency of the house, it is better than the one that Xie Jinkun helped them rent, no wonder the rent is more expensive than half a tael of silver. What's even more rare is that the layout of this house and the varieties of flowers and trees planted in the courtyard are a bit like the courtyard where Mrs. Xie used to live in Xie's house, but the place has shrunk by five times. After a brief visit, Mrs. Xie felt quite cordial, and rarely praised Xie Hui for her "hard work".

Xie Huizhi smiled and said a few words modestly, and said that he would go to a nearby dental store to hire someone, and Wen went with him.

Xie Yingrong pulled Aunt Dajin to help place things. Xie Mulin excused himself to go to the kitchen, and pulled his brother Xie Jinzhi to avoid it. After a while, Wen brought two mothers-in-law back, and Xie Huizhi took the opportunity to come and talk to the brother and sister.

Xie Jinzhi praised Xie Huizhi: "The third brother is really attentive." It's hard to find how you can find such a place. ”

Xie Huiyi mentioned this matter, and he was quite proud: "It was also my luck that I met the owner when I was passing by outside." The rent here is a foreign person, so it is not far from the tribute courtyard, and I lived here a year in advance, but I still fell off the list, and then I fell seriously ill, and I only returned to my hometown at the beginning of the month. The landlord was about to hire another tenant when he called me into him, and I quickly stopped him. He wanted to increase the rent, and I agreed, otherwise I could save a few hundred dollars. ”

Xie Mulin said: "As long as you can ask the old lady to move in obediently, what does it matter if you spend a few hundred dollars more?" Anyway, the money is in the hands of the old lady and the third sister, and they can't get it back. ”

Xie Jinzhi smiled slightly: "The old lady and the third sister have lived in the inner house for many years, and they don't know what is going on outside, and they probably don't know that this place is very close to Gongyuan West Street, and taking a car is just a cup of tea." In this way, it will be much more convenient for the mother to come and visit. ”

Xie Huizhi said with a smile: "This place is also next to the temple, and the newly appointed abbot of Cheng'en Temple heard that he is a very square person, with extremely strict rules, and he manages the monks under him well, even the surrounding residents, he also has to take care of it, and no one is allowed to do evil in this area." He also made friends with many officials and magnates, and other idlers did not dare to provoke him. The old lady and the third sister live here, which is clean and trouble-free, and they are not afraid that the third sister will have something to do with them, make trouble, and affect us. He said a little proudly, "I have already discussed with the monks in the temple, and asked them to help take care of one or two, and if there is any news, I will be able to believe it immediately." Even the mother-in-law who had just been hired from the tooth shop, he had repeatedly instructed him.

Xie Mulin praised him a few more words, and said: "If there is a place where you need money, you just have to speak." "Xie Jinzhi still had a lot of hundreds of taels of silver left from Jiang Shaoliang before, because he was worried that the Wen family would not be able to keep it secret, the three brothers and sisters hid this matter from her, and only took out a few dozen taels to her, pretending to sell pastry recipes. Wen's money is a little tight at the moment, but Xie Mulin is not short of money.

Xie Hui should take a mouthful. He also knew that the second sister was not short of money.

However, he mentioned a strange thing: "I told the third sister that the rented place was behind Cheng'en Temple, and she seemed to be very happy, as if she was ...... This place is very much to her liking. Originally, she always liked to find fault with me, but this time she didn't pick at all, which is really unaccustomed. ”

Xie Mulin raised his eyebrows: "Oh? ”
