Hua Qiao and Hu Yan returned to the private room, and Fang Wanyan was introducing the customs of Jingshi to Xu Zhijin.

"Actually, what difference does it make between us girls in the South and in the North? There will always be only one backyard left for us. Fang Wanyan looked at the buckwheat who walked in and said:

"I've never seen a girl who can live as comfortably as Hua Qiao."

"Me? My father said that our family is small, and there are not so many rules. The buckwheat grinned.

Xu Zhijin paid attention to Hua Qiao's face, just now the shopkeeper Su said that he was from "modern", Fang Wanyan may not have cared to listen, but Xu Zhijin was clear.

In the month when the township trial list was released, Uncle Hua was suspected of rebelling and was imprisoned precisely because he said that he wanted to return to modern times.

At that time, he had already won the first Jinshi in Yangzhou Mansion, and the whole family was jubilant and feasting on the villagers, when he heard that Uncle Hua was arrested, Xu Zhijin was about to go to the county government office, and was held down by his two elder brothers.

Master Xu said with a serious face: "It is not easy for our old Xu family to get to today, in order to pave the way for your career, now I have divided the merchants under the name of your eldest brother and second brother, and you only have land and real estate in your name, and even me and your mother have only these two things in your name." ”

The Ming Law stipulates that all those who enter the office, including immediate family members, are not allowed to do business. Master Xu made a great determination to let go of the business he had run all his life.

"The third child, my mother has something to say first, if you think about the girl of the Hua family again, don't enter the door of the Xu family! Do you know that this is unfilial? ......”

Xu Zhijin couldn't listen to what his mother was babbling about, and a beautiful dream was shattering in his heart...... He doesn't belong to himself, he belongs to this Xu family.

Later, when he heard that Hu Yanjin and Hua Qiao came back, saved Uncle Hua, and took Uncle Hua and Hua Rong away, the guilt in his heart was a little less.

This time, I met Hua Qiao in Jingshi, and seeing that she was still as lively as in the past, her hanging heart was completely put back in her stomach. can't be a lover, she is also the best memory in his heart.

Now, is the "modern" that this shopkeeper Su said the same "modern" that Uncle Hua wants to go back to?

"Young Master Xu, have you all lived in the 'Bamboo Forest Elegant Residence' for the past two months? There is a distance from the Gongyuan, and it may be more inconvenient during the spring period. ”

Hu Yanjin was a little surprised: "Bamboo Forest Yaju? How did you live in such a remote place? ”

That was a meeting place for Yi Chengjin, and he would definitely have to go there often, although the deep courtyard behind him was relatively independent, but it was inevitable that he would meet when he entered and exited.

"I don't know, the place is what my second brother found, and he probably heard someone introduce it, saying that it is secluded, rarely disturbed, and it is suitable for reading." Indeed, as long as there is a talkative Xu Zhiheng, Xu Zhijin can't speak.

That's Zheng Kuan's territory, let's let him find a way to drive the two brothers away. After that Yangzhou investigation, Xu Zhijin also knew Yi Chengjin, don't let him get involved for no reason. Hu Yanjin secretly made a plan.

A few people had a hot pot meal happily, and when they were about to leave, Shopkeeper Su came in with a smile and said:

"Welcome to the event when you have time. In fact, I can also see that you are two families, and I also prepared two new pots for you to take back, and the younger two eat hot vegetables at home, and they are warm to eat. ”

"Hey! Don't be stingy, we're not ......" Before Fang Wanyan finished speaking, he was stopped by Xu Zhijin:

"I don't want it, here you go."

Unexpectedly, Hua Qiao said: "Shopkeeper Su, if it's convenient, give me one more bite, we'll ...... I haven't eaten together yet. ”

"No problem, no problem! When you go back and see your friend, remember to wait for him to come to the Snow Tower. ”

Hu Yanjin was shocked by 100,000 question marks in his heart: What does Hua Qiao mean by this? Don't...... Did I say that my father was coming, and she was leaving?

Just when Hu Yanjin was in a gloomy mood, Ah Gua, who had come to pick them up in the car, told him: The yard next door was bought, but it was bought in a hurry, and it cost nearly twice the price.

Hu Yanjin breathed a sigh of relief.

When they returned to the mouth of the alley, the old army saw their car, knelt down and kowtowed to them. Hu Yanjin looked at Hua Qiao with a questioning face, and she smiled: "It should be Xiao Qi who gave him new cotton clothes and new quilts." ”

Hu Yanjin grabbed her hand, wrapped it in his two palms, and said sincerely:

"I'm sorry, I still want to make you feel wronged for a while, when the master comes to Beijing next spring, my father can let the matchmaker come to the door to officially propose, and welcome you next autumn, and we can be together every day."

"Together every day...... You're not tired either? Hua Qiao pursed her lips and smiled.

Hu Yanjin grinned and smirked, revealing his good-looking white teeth again: "How can you get tired of that?" It's too late for me to rejoice. ”

In this way, it took everyone two days to tidy up the yard next door, but it was not Hua Qiao who moved over, it was Hu Yanjin who moved his things over, and prepared a room for his father.

The maids and servants in the house, except for the two who came to clean and cook, all stayed in place. Hu Yanjin was about to open a door between the two courtyards, but Hua Qiao stopped him, rolled his eyes at him and said:

"With such a low courtyard wall, can it still stop you from jumping from Dongfu to Xifu?"

That's just as well.

After the things were moved, Huyan Jinxin didn't move over, and came back from outside every day, and was still used to going to the West Mansion of Hua Buckwheat, eating and drinking, greasy and crooked, and only went back to the East Mansion when he was about to sleep.

That night, Hu Yanjin rushed back after almost curfew, and when he saw that Hua Qiao's room was still lit, he couldn't help but go over to see her. Walking to the door, he was about to knock on the door, but heard a soft sobbing from inside.

Hu Yanjin was shocked, he was fine yesterday, could it be that Hua Qiao suffered any grievances today? He hurriedly knocked on the door, called "buckwheat" and pushed the door in.

Hua Qiao had tears on her face and still held the phoenix brocade in her hand. Seeing Hu Yanjin come in, she folded up the phoenix brocade, stuffed it under the pillow, squeezed out a smile at him and said, "It's okay, I just miss my mother a little." ”

Hu Yanjin knew that she was thinking more than just Liu Yunniang.

He went over and took her hand, took her in his arms, and said slowly, "Are you going to listen to me, what I heard?" ”

Hua Qiao raised her face in his arms and asked in surprise, "Have you gone to check my life history for me?" ”

Hu Yanjin lowered his head, kissed her moist eyelashes, sighed and said:

"How selfish do you think of me? The things that are in your heart will be on my heart. Ever since I joined the Jingshi, I have been looking for clues related to you, but now many things are just speculations and have not been verified, so I am not in a hurry to tell you. ”

The two sat on the soft couch outside holding hands, Hu Yanjin wiped away the tears on her face distressedly, and said:

"Although I want you to stay by my side, your path will always be up to you. Don't cry secretly in the future, as long as I'm here, you won't be allowed to cry. ”

"Jingyi, I'm not going anywhere, I'm just living next door to you."

"That's not going to work, I'm going to live with you."
