"Great!" Master Chen was overjoyed, and immediately arranged for his housekeeper to accompany Xiao Qiongzhi and Zheng Bang to see the house together.

He himself and Humpty Dumpty Tooth Guard, stayed in the main hall to wait for news.

After more than a quarter of an hour, Xiao Qiongzhi followed the housekeeper and basically took a look at several important places in the house from the periphery.

There are three rows of houses in the front yard.

It is arranged in a north-south-center direction.

There are five rooms in the middle, including a main hall, a side hall, a study, a bedroom, and a subordinate room.

The layout of the north and south sides is similar, each with two independent small courtyards, a large room in the center, the front is divided into a small hall, the back is the master bedroom, and there is a small room on each side, the left is the study, and the right is the lower room.

There are seven rows of houses in the backyard, all of which are independent small courtyards, which are arranged in the north, south, west and middle.

There are two rows in the north and south, one in the middle and two in the west.

Among them, the pattern of the two rows in the north and south is similar to the pattern of the two rows in the north and south of the front yard.

The layout of the middle row of houses is similar to that of the middle row in the front yard.

There are two rows on the west side, and the first row is similar to the pattern of the north and south rows of the front yard.

There is also a row, with four rooms, one kitchen and three miscellaneous rooms.

Not far to the left of the kitchen, there is a nice well.

When the housekeeper of Chen Mansion introduced it, he praised it as the best well in the whole Dingzi County, not only regardless of drought or flood, but also provided water for the entire Fufu people, more than enough, and the taste was particularly sweet.

Out of curiosity, Xiao Qiongzhi deliberately went to the reel next to the well, trying to get a bucket of water up and take a few sips to taste it.

Unexpectedly, this job seems easy, but it is actually not easy and quite laborious.

She had only turned on her heels a few times before her wrists ached.

In the end, it was Zheng Bang who gently and skillfully helped her get a bucket of water.

The housekeeper had a good eye and took two clean bowls from the kitchen and handed them water to drink.

Once tasted, it is indeed good water, very sweet, and it is not inferior to the mountain spring water drunk by the people of Zhoujia Village.

Xiao Qiongzhi was very satisfied.

Next, she deliberately went into the small courtyards in the backyard and took a good turn.

In these yards, in each small yard of the front yard and the back yard, there are basically two gardens of bamboo planted in the open space in front of the entrance.

The things planted behind the courtyard are different, namely peaches, plums, dates, grapes, sycamores, camphor, etc.

Xiao Qiongzhi was in the Zhuang Mansion Yaxing, and the pools, rockeries, and corridors that he saw from the draft drawings and remarks were designed in the middle of the north, south, and west courtyards connecting the backyard.

Xiao Qiongzhi turned the two courtyards in the west courtyard and the two courtyards in the north courtyard in one go, and walked towards the middle row of courtyards.

The housekeeper of the Chen Mansion hurriedly stopped her, and said with some embarrassment: "Miss, this courtyard is where the old lady and the old lady live, they don't let outsiders in to see, you better skip this courtyard and look at the other courtyard." ”

Xiao Qiongzhi waved his hand at him: "I have seen almost these courtyards, and I am quite satisfied, now, I will go to the courtyard of your old lady and old lady, in order to persuade them to be willing to sell this house to me at a price of 1,500 taels of silver." ”

"However, my old lady and old lady don't know you at all, and they may not want to see you." The housekeeper of the Chen Mansion reminded.

That's right, too.

Xiao Qiongzhi stood on the spot and thought about it, and said to the housekeeper of the Chen Mansion: "Or, in this way, you can introduce me and my uncle, and go over to tell them first that we are the relatives of the King of Chu's Shangbin - Hui Hui Jun Menghui." ”

"Today, we heard about the sale of your house in the Chen Mansion, and we specially helped you think of a way to not only sell this house, but also let them live in this house all the time without moving to Nancheng."

"But this method needs their good cooperation to be useful. Then, you ask them if they would like to see us, and listen to me tell me how I can do this. ”

"Okay, I'll go ahead and talk about it." The housekeeper of the Chen Mansion had a light eye and hurriedly did so.

Soon, he walked out of the courtyard of Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Chen, and told Xiao Qiongzhi with a smile: "Miss, my old lady and Mrs. Chen are invited!" ”

"Okay, please lead the way for us ahead." Xiao Qiongzhi said, together with Zheng Bang, with the housekeeper of the Chen Mansion, entered the courtyard of Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Chen.

Old Lady Chen and Mrs. Chen, at this time, were already sitting in the main hall, welcoming the arrival of Xiao Qiongzhi and Zheng Bang.

Among them, Mrs. Chen looks like she is about seventy years old, very tall, not fat or thin, with a straight back, good facial features, and a long beard, she looks more kind and kind, and her complexion is slightly old, but she is not sick at all.

Mrs. Chen looked like she was about sixty-four or five years old, very petite, slightly chubby, with a round face, round eyes and a round mouth, she looked more kind than Mrs. Chen, her complexion was very good, and she was not sick at all.

Xiao Qiongzhi smiled and bowed to them one by one, and said crisply: "Hello Old Lady Chen, good Old Lady Chen!" ”

"Good! Good! Good! Don't stand, sit down, have a cup of tea, and take a break! Old lady Chen said very enthusiastically.

Looking at the expression, it is not like pretending, which means that he sincerely welcomes his arrival.

Xiao Qiongzhi was very happy and immediately did so.

Mrs. Chen picked up two red envelopes from the table, handed them to a girl beside her, pointed at Xiao Qiongzhi, and instructed her: "Take this to Miss Meng." ”

It is estimated that Mrs. Chen, when she heard the housekeeper of the Chen Mansion say that she was a relative of Meng's return, she thought that her surname was Meng.

When Xiao Qiongzhi took the red envelope sent by the girl, she obediently accepted it and said respectfully: "The elder gives it, I can't say it, Xiao Qiongzhi thanks the old lady and the old lady for the red envelope." ”

"Miss Xiao, it turns out that your surname is Xiao, not your surname Meng? Then I made a mistake just now, I'm really a little confused, giggle......" Mrs. Chen was very smart, and immediately noticed the reminder in Xiao Qiongzhi's words, and laughed self-deprecatingly.

Old Mrs. Chen immediately turned her head sideways and winked at her: "It's normal for relatives to have different surnames. However, old woman, you are guilty of this kind of confusion, mainly because, after you marry me, you only have our Chen family in your eyes, and there is no Yao family, and you have formed empathy, you have to review yourself well, and you can't be too girly! ”

"Old man, I just want a girl's appearance, how about it, are you not convinced? If you're not convinced, you'll show me the boy's appearance! Not to be outdone, Mrs. Chen also began to wink at Mrs. Chen.

"I'd like to be a boy! It's a pity that my father-in-law and mother-in-law are gone, and my brother-in-law, second brother-in-law, and brother-in-law are far away in Xiao Kingdom, so I don't have a chance to be a boy's appearance. ”

"I'm worried, all these years, look at it, because of this, my hair and beard have turned white." As Mrs. Chen spoke, she pulled up her white hair and beard and let Mrs. Chen see it.

"Really, you're so careful, I'm not convinced by anyone, so I'll just accept your worries!" Mrs. Chen pretended to look closer, and said sincerely.

"Poof!" When Xiao Qiongzhi heard this, she couldn't help it and laughed.

These two old men, so funny!

Whoever lives with them will surely add a lot of happiness to their lives.

"Miss Xiao, how is it? I and my old man, are we very well coordinated? Mrs. Chen immediately turned her gaze to Xiao Qiongzhi and asked seriously.
