Chapter 7: Serendipity
Mingyuefang is not close to the West Market, plus I took two children to see this and that all the way, and when the four of them arrived at the door of the house, it was almost time.
Lu Yunque walked in front of the three of them to show the way, introducing the pavilions and pavilions in the courtyard all the way, and the content was so detailed that it made people suspect that she was the one who built the house.
Lin Yao felt that this little lady was a little more interesting while listening, most of the ordinary people's teeth introduced the house to introduce how many rooms, what layout, etc., but this little lady of the Lin family even explained the carved style and pillar wood in detail.
This detailed description is either a hard work behind the scenes, or she is born with this talent, no matter what kind of little lady of the Lu family is, it is worthy of admiration.
This house is already big, and with Lu Yunque's detailed introduction, it is already time to have lunch when all the yards are turned.
The four of them found a foreign restaurant two squares away, and ordered some special delicacies to fool the meal.
Lu Jinnian and Qi Baozhu were tired after eating, and Lin Yao and Lu Yunque had to send the two back first.
The third aunt of the Zhang family agreed on a time before two o'clock, and after the two settled the children, they ordered a pot of tea, a plate of rice cakes and fried beans and sat in the lobby and chatted.
Lu Yunque looked at the Lin family Erlang in front of him and felt a little uncomfortable, in fact, he was going to go for a walk around the neighborhood, but when it was a little while, he came to call this Erlang to meet Aunt Zhang.
But this Lin family Erlang has been pulling himself to ask east and west, and it is not good for him to go directly, if he only asks about the house, Lu Yunque is not so uncomfortable, but Erlang likes to ask some of his own private things when he asks, and he doesn't answer this way, and he can't answer it, so he can only deal with it with haha.
"The little lady of the Lu family is really powerful, but she is not very old, but she has the courtyard of the official mansion in her hands." Lin Yao said with a smile while drinking water.
Lu Yunque smiled a little innocently and did not answer.
Lin Yao was not discouraged, he still looked at Lu Yunque with a smile, and the two of them chatted like this.
By the time the third aunt of the Zhang family finished dealing with the things in her hands and arrived to welcome the guests, it was already less than three o'clock. As soon as I entered the door, I saw that the inn lobby was empty, only the two of them, Erlang of the Lin family and Lu Yunque, were sitting there.
The third aunt of the Zhang family hurriedly walked over, and said as she walked: "I'm really sorry, Erlang of the Lin family, the old body encountered something on the road and was delayed for a while, so you have been waiting for a long time."
"It's okay, it's okay, there are Lu Yaren next to me to talk and relieve my fatigue, and I don't feel how long I have been waiting." Lin Yao raised his hand and poured a glass of water for the third aunt of the Zhang family and handed it over, "Zhang Yaren first drink saliva slowly, the day is a bit big outside, presumably you are also a little tired." ”
The third aunt of the Zhang family said with a smile while taking the water: "It's okay, the old woman is used to running around, and it's best if Erlang doesn't blame the old body."
After resting for half an hour, the third aunt of the Zhang family asked casually, "What do you think of the house that Erlang saw in the morning?" Can it still fit Erlang's heart? ”
"That house is really good, its layout is also exquisite, and the people of Luya are very detailed, and Xiaosheng is a little tempted." Lin Yao glanced at Lu Yunque as he spoke, just as Lu Yunque raised his head, the two glanced at each other instantly, and Lu Yunque hurriedly turned his head away.
The third aunt of the Zhang family didn't notice the small movements between the two, and when she heard that Lin Yao was moved by the house, she immediately became happy for Lu Yunque in her heart.
The three of them chatted with each other for a while, the third aunt of the Zhang family got up and prepared to take Lin Yao to see another house, and Lu Yunque left first after saying goodbye to the two at the door of the welcome because he had other things to do in the afternoon.
The other house was only two squares away from welcoming guests, and the two arrived in a short time.
The house is not too big, and the third aunt of the Zhang family is not as detailed as Lu Yunque's introduction, but it took two quarters of an hour to walk through the house.
The two chatted as they walked, and gradually talked about things outside the house.
"Are the Zhangya people and the Luya people related? I see that the two of you seem to be very close. Lin Yao touched the bamboo in the yard and asked a little casually.
"Where, where, that girl is the child of a friend's family of mine." The third aunt of the Zhang family waved her hand, sighed again and said: "I like this child's temperament, plus her family is in trouble again, I take more care of her on weekdays."
"So that's the case, but the people of Luya are also very powerful, and they got the courtyard of the official mansion at a young age." Lin Yao said with a smile.
The third aunt of the Zhang family had a slightly embarrassed look on her face, and replied with a smile: "This girl has been clever and sensible since she was a child, and she has also received a lot of praise from others as a tooth person, so she is probably appreciated by the housekeeper."
Lin Yao didn't ask any more, and the third aunt of the Zhang family turned around the house again, and after asking about some details of the house, he said goodbye to the third aunt of the Zhang family and went back to welcome the guests first.
The third aunt of the Zhang family asked Lin Yao a few words about the matter of the house, but she didn't get an accurate answer, she only said that she would think about it again, and she would talk about it tomorrow, and the third aunt of the Zhang family couldn't guess the thoughts of the second lang of the Lin family for a while.
Lu Yunque was so busy that he hurried home when it was almost time, it was already half dark, and the bell of the closing door had already sounded halfway. Lu Yunque picked up his speed and finally reached his home before the bell stopped.
Lu Yunque stood in his courtyard panting, and suddenly there was a sound on the wall, and a little boy with pigtails was lying on the wall and looking at Lu Yunque with a smile.
"Sister Lu, that Tu Ergou came to block your door again today, but he waited for a long time and didn't see you come back, so he left angrily." The little boy picked up a ball of things with great difficulty, and the sky was a little dark and people couldn't see clearly, "This is the old woman of the Liang family two streets away who asked me to give it to you, she wanted to put it on the wall for you, but seeing that Tu Ergou had been guarding the door, she handed it to me and asked me to bring it to you later, and by the way, ask me to say thank you to you." ”
Lu Yunque took the things, opened the homespun cloth outside and took a closer look, it turned out to be a cleanly washed roasted chicken.
Lu Yunque walked into the kitchen in the courtyard and put the cured chicken away, and took three cakes from the wooden cabinet and handed them to the little boy.
"Thank you, Ah Lei, this cake is made by Baozhu mother, you can take it and eat it." Lu Yunque said to the little boy.
The little boy took the cake and thanked Lu Yunque, then retreated and disappeared into the wall.
There are a lot of things today, Lu Yunque is busy enough, and it is not too early to see that it is not early, and he is not in the mood to cook slowly again, so he made a bowl of noodle soup and fooled the evening food.
The next day, Lu Yunque still went out early in the morning, but when she arrived at the house where the family had made an appointment to draw today's drawings, the family politely told her that they did not plan to sell the house again.
Lu Yunque had to smile helplessly, and after saying a few polite words, he got up and said goodbye.
There was still more than an hour before the agreed time of the other family, but Lu Yun was thinking about other things while walking slowly on the street.
Today coincides with the spring equinox, although Yongxiu County is mainly engaged in commerce and trade, and there are not many people engaged in farming, but the festival is probably something that everyone will look forward to.
Most of the parents on the street took their children out to watch the excitement, although it was not time for the market to open, but those Wuhou who patrolled the city did not interfere too much.
Lu Yunque walked and walked, and suddenly found a familiar figure on the side of the road. Lu Yunque was shocked, and just wanted to turn around and leave, but was stopped by the man.
"The little lady of the Lu family came to see the liveliness of the West Market today?" Lin Yao wore a half-set of play-style bull head masks, standing in front of the small stall six steps away from Lu Yunque, squinting at Lu Yunque with a pair of smiling eyes.
Today's daylight is just right, Lin Yao wore a water blue robe, and simply tied his hair with a white hosta, standing in the middle of the city, he had a bit of an untouched temperament.
"No, just passing by." Lu Yunque raised his hand and saluted and said, "I won't disturb the Lin family Erlang to watch the excitement, so I will leave first." Then he turned around and wanted to leave.
It's just that he didn't expect Lu Jinyan beside Lin Yao to suddenly open Lin Yao's hand, run to Lu Yunque, take out a handful of sugar cubes wrapped in small oiled paper from his arms, hand it over, and said in a milky voice: "This sister, I invite you to eat sugar."
Lu Yunque paused for a moment, burst out laughing, squatted down and took the candy, and asked with a smile: "Then thank you, what's your name?" Why do you want me to eat candy? ”
"Because you bought candy for Baozhu to eat, my name is Lu Jinyan, and you can also call me Ah Yan." Lu Jinyan replied solemnly.
"Oh, the two of us are quite fateful, my name is Lu Yunque, Lu of the land." Lu Yunque picked up the candy, looked at Lu Jinyan's eyes and said.
"I am the way of the road."
Lu Yunque touched his head after hearing this, and promised to bring him candy next time before leaving.
In the afternoon, Lu Yunque and the three aunts of the Zhang family arrived on time to welcome the guests, Qi Baozhu went to the West Market with her aunt to buy, Lu Jinyan was still sleeping upstairs, Lu Yunque took out two sugar people, one was given to the Qi shopkeeper and asked him to leave it to Qi Baozhu, and the other was handed over to Lin Yao, and then the three of them found a place in the lobby and asked the doctor to come and order a pot of tea and a plate of snacks.
After the three of them sat down, they looked at each other speechlessly, Lin Yao drank tea slowly, and did not mean to speak. Lu Yunque and the third aunt of the Zhang family glanced at each other, and the third aunt of the Zhang family said, "Do you still like the two houses that Erlang of the Lin family went to see yesterday?"
"I think those two houses are pretty good, but I don't know what the price is?" Lin Yao opened his mouth and said.
The third aunt of the Zhang family smiled and said: "I won't sell more guanzi to Lang Jun, the price originally given to me by the Liu family's house was seventy-three taels of silver, if Lang Jun you sincerely want to buy it, the old woman can give it to you again and say, don't say more, it's no problem to subtract three taels of silver."
"Hmm" Lin Yao nodded, raised his eyes to look at Lu Yunque and said, "What about the little lady of the Lu family?"
