The house that Chonghua bought was a big mansion with three entrances and two sides of the courtyard, which cost a lot of money at that time, so it was very complete, and the doors and windows were not peeled off.

The garden is also very well kept, and there is no overly dense vegetation. And because it occupies a large area, it is surrounded by ordinary houses, and it is still quiet even during the day.

Lu Zhan inspected the inside and outside of the triple courtyard, and ordered Chonghua to summon guards in batches to strictly guard them from under the four walls of the house, and at the same time conduct screening to prevent omissions. Even if the emperor wanted to make a night patrol before, it was the imperial generals who were responsible, but this time the emperor asked him to pick him up at Shenwumen, obviously without intending to alarm the pro-military guards.

"Shizi."

Chonghua brought a bowl of tea.

Lu Zhan took it and looked at the growing sunlight in the courtyard: "Have you heard that there is any errand to be sent by the DPRK and China recently?" ”

After all, it has been seven years, and in his previous life, he was not very concerned about the things around him, and now if he wants to grasp the situation, he can only knock on the side from the people around him.

"What is the son of the world?"

Lu Zhan glanced at him.

Chonghua looked at him, and immediately blessed his heart: "It seems that the court has been quite peaceful recently, the three divisions and six departments perform their duties, and the remaining temporary errands are generally handed over to our prince, or the Marquis of Anyang, the Marquis of Yong'an, these royal relatives."

"Even if King An Hui followed the prince to the imperial tomb recently, it was just a start, and it was because he got married. As much as you talk about - an unmarried child like you, no one has ever taken on an errand. ”

Lu Zhan looked at him deeply: "Then an unmarried child like me, who has no hair on his lips and does not work hard, does he have a chance to take errands?" ”

Chonghua stood solemnly: "That must have!" ”

Lu Zhan threw the bowl to him, glanced at him deeply, and left.

……

Song Xiang knew that pies would not fall from the sky, but except for the fact that he had died, there was really no choice for this shop. But it's just worth considering, Zhou Yi is the commander of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, and this case is also involved in the Yu family, and she has not yet reached the point where she has to go out and take over.

"Sister Xiang!"

As soon as she walked out of the street, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl came, and she walked quickly to her: "Sister Xiang, I haven't seen you for a long time!" ”

This is Fu Ying's sister Fu Ru, Song Xiang was quite surprised: "Why is Ru'er here?" Let Song Lian call her sister again.

Fu Ru saluted: "Mother heard that you have entered Beijing, and specially ordered me to come out to welcome you back for dinner." I just found the inn, and the lady of the inn said that you went to Yaxing, and I ran to Yaxing again, but I still didn't see you. The guy from the tooth shop pointed here and said that you guys are coming this way, hurry up, and you're really catching up! ”

Song Xiang apologized: "Thank you for walking so far." ”

When Fu Ying left last night, she did say that Mrs. Fu would invite her to dinner, but where was it convenient for her to disturb. He said, "Thank you for your kindness, and the next time you come into the city with my mother, we will visit us again." ”

"Sister Xiang, does she look down on us? I think my brother and I didn't leave food at your house back then, but now that we have entered the city, it is normal to keep a meal. Fu Ru pouted, and playfully grabbed Song Xiang's arm, "Let's go, the meals are ready, if you don't go, your mother will be disappointed!" ”

Fu Ying's brothers and sisters want to keep her, Song Xiang believes it, but when it comes to Mrs. Fu, this Mrs. Fu didn't look down on Zheng Rong's background back then, which shows that she attaches great importance to her status and status, plus Song Yu is not as close as before, and now they, orphans and widows, how can they be disappointed because she doesn't go?

Song Xiang didn't believe it in his heart, but everyone came here, and it was not good to refuse directly, so he looked at Song Lian: "Brother Lian, Aunt Fu and Sister Fu want to invite us to dinner." ”

Song Lian was already hungry: "Then we might as well be respectful." ”

"Great!" Fu Ru said happily: "Then let's go!" ”

Song Xiang smiled helplessly, and led Song Lian to Guizi Hutong.

After the Fu family moved next door to the Song family, the current house is separated from the Song family's ancestral house by three families, but it is not as spacious as the original residence.

The reason why he moved away was because Master Fu's father originally left an old aunt, who died of a blood collapse that year, and the back house has not been very peaceful, so he sold the original house and replaced it with his current residence.

Master Fu is a showman, relying on his ancestral industry to open a teahouse in the city, not worrying about eating and drinking, and now Fu Ying has entered the household again, and his family background has risen in the neighborhood.

Song Xiang guessed that Mrs. Fu would definitely try to avoid it after entertaining them this time, so she calmed down.

I bought some gifts on the way and arrived at Fu's house, Fu Ying obviously hadn't come back yet, and the smell of food wafted from the direction of the kitchen.

Mrs. Fu took Song Xiang's hand and asked this and that, and finally asked, "How is your mother?" ”

Song Xiang didn't say much to her, only politely said a few words.

Mrs. Fu smiled: "That's good." She is also a miserable life, young and widowed, you will be filial to her in the future. He took a sip of tea, looked up and said, "By the way, I saw you coming out of the tooth shop last time, but what business do you have to do?" ”

"Yes, my old house is going to be rented out, and I also want to buy a shop."

"It's fine." Mrs. Fu said, "What is the land price now?" ”

Song Xiang said, and then talked about the medicine institute by the way. "Did something really happen to the Li family's pharmacy?"

"It's true." Mrs. Fu said, "It was still very fierce at that time, but the old lady of the Li family was not killed directly, it was General Zhou's people who pushed her down and hit the corner of the table. ”

Speaking of this, she sighed again: "In the final analysis, it is all the fault of the family, so if Miss Li is An'an's share, how can Yu Gongzi marry her despite the family's opposition?" A slap doesn't make a sound.

"Sister Xiang, you have to make up your mind about finding a husband in the future, don't think about marrying high, there will be no good results. Now that you are at this bottom, if you marry highly, you will suffer a loss. ”

Mrs. Fu took Song Xiang's hand and patted it in her palm, with a serious face.

Song Xiang smiled and did not answer.

Fu Ru couldn't sit still on the side, and when she heard this, she got up and said, "What did mother say about this?" My brother hasn't come back yet, it's still early to eat, Sister Xiang is going to sit in my room, right? ”

Mrs. Fu said, "Go ahead." ”

Song Xiang instructed Song Lian to stay alive and get up.

Song Lian is not a restrained child, after listening to this for a long time, he asked Mrs. Fu: "Aunt Fu asked my sister about the land price, didn't she want to buy a house?" ”

Mrs. Fu was about to get up, but when she heard this, she looked at him and sat back with a smile: "Isn't it?" Our house is small, and now your eldest brother Ying has entered the court as an official, and there are often guests coming and going.

"He is now friends with the prince of the Jin Dynasty and the king of Jing'an, as well as the prince of the Yong'an Hou Mansion - yesterday, the little marquis celebrated his birthday, and only five people were invited to the banquet, and he was among them!

"So it is inevitable that these nobles will be entertained at home, and this house will not be able to be used at all."

Song Lian listened silently.

Mrs. Fu smiled and continued: "Also, Brother Lian is still young, and it's too early for you to talk about marriage." But your big brother Ying is not small.

"Although our family doesn't dare to compare with the powerful, but with your identity as Brother Ying, you have to marry a beautiful lady and come back to teach her husband and children.

"Now this house, it's no problem to live in, but it's not suitable for identity. This is a parent, and it is an inexhaustible heart! ”

Song Lian said: "The private houses that the little marquis and they bought to live and play in are all houses in the north city with four entrances and east and west courtyards, as well as a big garden. As Brother Fu, you have to at least buy a house like this. ”

Mrs. Fu disagreed: "That's not necessary. ”

"A must! Auntie, you don't know, those powerful people are snobbish, and they don't even have a big mansion with a big garden, who would be willing to marry everyone's girlfriends? is to get married, aren't you afraid that people will say that Brother Fu relies on women to eat soft rice?

"Besides, you don't live in such a big mansion, and you don't invite hundreds and eighty people, how can you be embarrassed to invite a noble person like the little marquis to come to the door? Can you still come forward and serve yourself? That little marquis can't be happy! ”

Mrs. Fu's smile became reluctant: "Your little family, you know so much." ”

Song Lian ate halva and calmly said "oh": "Because of the birthday banquet of the little marquis last night, I sat under the prince of Jin." ”

“…… You?? ”
