Chapter 4 Small Courtyard

Qian Yan sat in a chair, unconcerned about their various thoughts and attitudes.

The old lady took a sip of tea, and then slowly said the purpose of calling them all: "I fell ill with the flu a few days ago, and you all avoided it one by one, and you want me to return to the West as soon as possible, right?" The old lady spoke a little excitedly, and put the teacup on the table, making a loud noise.

Mrs. Hou Fu and the others knelt down one after another: "Daughter-in-law doesn't dare." "Grandsons and slaves don't dare."

Hou Ye Qianwuan immediately comforted his mother: "Mother, dissipate your anger." ”

The old lady opened his hand: "Hmph, that's what you will do." If it weren't for Brother Yan'er, my old bones might have returned to the West. ”

Hou Ye twisted his eyebrows: "How do you say this?" ”

The old lady talked about the past, and there was a faint sadness on her face: "I was infected with the flu, and I was lying in bed in the dark, and I didn't see any of you to take care of me. ”

Hou Ye was surprised: "That's the case." ”

Shu Yao was also a little surprised, it turned out that this was how the cub got the favor of the old lady.

The eyes of everyone in the lobby fell on the young man sitting in the middle of the hall, some were suspicious, some were looking, and some were flattering.

Seeing that the effect she wanted was almost there, the old lady said to Qianyan: "Brother Yan, it is a great achievement for you to save your grandmother this time, have you ever thought about any reward?" ”

Hou Ye looked at his first child, and nodded: "If you have anything you want, just say it." ”

Qianyan's face was not obvious, and his heart had begun to cool: It turns out that you are all like this, and it is okay to use rewards to judge things.

Others didn't know what the cub really thought, but Shu Yao knew, seeing that the cub was about to give up this opportunity, Shu Yao couldn't help but gently rub him with his fingers.

Qian Yan was sitting well, feeling that his body was slapped with great strength, his figure shook, barely holding on, and after thinking about it, he already knew. Knowing that she didn't want to let herself waste such a great opportunity, and knowing that she was being cared for, a smile appeared on Qianyan's face.

The old lady in the hall watched his face change back and forth, thinking that he had some concerns, so she said: "Brother Yan, you can just say what you want, grandmother will definitely try to satisfy you, this is what grandmother owes you." ”

Qian Yan met her gaze and directly ignored some of the stares that were staring at him on the side: "Old lady, I want a small courtyard outside the Hou Mansion, no one will disturb me, just me." ”

The old lady didn't expect him to be this request, and asked for a small courtyard outside the Hou Mansion, which was obviously about to move out of the Hou Mansion, which was a little embarrassing.

Qian Yan seemed to see the old lady's embarrassment, and added: "I will come back every holiday, and if there is a big event in the house, as long as you make someone call me, I will also come back." ”

Compared with the old lady's embarrassment, Mrs. Hou Fu obviously relaxed a lot, and said to the old lady happily: "Mother, since Brother Yan said that he wanted to move out of the Hou Mansion to live, then we can't stop it, I remember that there is a small courtyard of the Hou Mansion in the north of Beijing, where there are two acres of fertile land there, and it is also a relatively large courtyard. ”

The old lady was silent for a moment and then acquiesced, and asked her to take ten taels of silver for the cub, and then ordered to go down, saying that Brother Yan could get two taels of silver a month, and if he didn't come to get it, let someone send it to him. In this way, the cub's life is somewhat secured.

Coming out of Songheju, the cub was obviously much happier.

Back in his small yard, the cub began to pack up his things, one by one, the same things, Shu Yao looked at him a little impatient to leave this house, it was inevitable that he was a little sad: the cub was not liked by his family, so he could only move out by himself.

Shu Yao watched him clean up his things, and suddenly thought of the lantern in the storage box she hid in the small kitchen, and she couldn't get in and take it out, what should I do?

Pulling the interface to the small kitchen, Shu Yao dragged the storage box out, no matter how she buckled it, she couldn't take it out, so she had no choice but to make some noise to attract the cubs.

When Qianyan came to the kitchen, she saw the exquisite little box, stepped forward to open it, and there was only one thing in it, which was the small lantern he gave her, but she didn't expect it to be kept so well by her.

When Qian Yan saw this small box, she knew that she had been by his side all the time, and she couldn't feel her, probably because of her strong martial arts, she came and went without a trace. Knowing that she was right next to him, he began to want to talk to her.

"I'm moving out today, will you come with me?"

The leaves of the small courtyard moved.

"You'll be with me."

The leaves moved again.

Shu Yao didn't know how to answer him like this, so he had to think of a stupid way to shake the only tree in the small courtyard.

Every time Qianyan said a word, Shu Yao shook the trees once.

came out of the back door of the Hou Mansion and saw Master A and Guard A waiting for him at the door.

When Master A saw him, his eyes were full of tears: "Childe, thank you for saving my old bones, I have heard the news that you are moving out of the Hou Mansion, although I am old, but I want to do something for Childe to repay Childe's life-saving grace, Childe, you can take me away." ”

Guard A also begged Qianyan to take in Master A, and after a while, Qianyan agreed.

Master A and guard A helped Qian Yan to take his luggage to the small courtyard in the north of the city, and the old housekeeper had already received the news, waiting for his arrival here, and after giving Qian Yan the key to the small courtyard, he retreated.

Pushing open the door and entering, Shu Yao looked at this small courtyard that now only belonged to cubs, and was obviously much happier, although this small courtyard is now overgrown with weeds and a little dilapidated, but it is the cub's courtyard anyway, just help him clean it up.

Entering the inner room, pushing open the door, a burst of dust came to the face, the master A and the guard A choked a few times, the cub's face did not change, he waved away the dust, and walked in, Shu Yao also followed him in, looking at this place, the furniture was quite complete at that time, but it had been abandoned for a long time, and all the furniture was covered with a thick layer of dust.

Seeing this, Master A said to Qianyan: "Childe, why don't you go out and wait for a while, and the old slave will clean up this place first." ”

Qian Yan rejected him: "No need, even if you come out of the Hou Mansion, there will be no master and servant, we will clean up together." ”

Master A heard him say this: "No, Childe, no matter what, you are my benefactor, Childe must not say these words of self-surrender, the old slave is willing to follow Childe." ”

When the cub saw that he was about to cry again, he rolled up his sleeves as if he was irritable and not irritable: "Whatever you want." ”

The guard armor came back from a circle of the small courtyard and said to the cub: "Son, the slave went around, there are five rooms in the backyard, a kitchen, a thatched house, and one has been destroyed, depending on the degree of damage, it can no longer be repaired, and the remaining two are a firewood room and a wing room, which have not been inhabited for a long time, and there are two acres of land out of the backyard." ”

Qianyan nodded and asked, "Can you see a well?" ”

Guard: "Yes, there's a well next to the kitchen. ”

Qian Yan took a wooden basin from his luggage: "It's a little late today, let's clean up the residence first, and then clean up this small courtyard tomorrow." ”

The boy of the guards wanted to clean up by himself, so he hurriedly stopped him: "Childe, let's do this kind of rough work." ”

Qian Yan bypassed him and went straight to the well in the backyard to get a basin of water, and then took a rag to wipe down the furniture in the house. The three of them worked hard all afternoon, and finally cleaned up the two quarters at dusk, simply ate some bottom, and went to bed early after a busy day.
