Xia Ju laughed, "My sister is coquettish, and I want to be coquettish too." Then, holding Xia's other arm, he pillowed his head on her other shoulder.

When he saw the squatting under the chair, he also stood up and put his front hooves on Xia's knees.

Xia's great joy. With these two children, everything is worth it.

When he returned to Dusi Mansion, he gave Mama Hua's little grandson a bag of candy, and gave a few sweet sesame sticks like a bear, which made the little thing happy.

Xia Shan came back, Ye Jin went to the front yard to call Ye Li to drink, and when he saw Ye Quan, he also called him. Xia Li is not very familiar with Ye Quan, he is very young, only fifteen or sixteen years old, and his eyebrows are clear. I heard that he is the son of Ye Feng's nurse, and since he is Ye Feng's personal soldier, he often serves in the mansion, and he usually doesn't take him out of the city.

Xia Ju sent the sauce duck he bought to the back hall to add food to Ye Feng and Liu Changzhao.

Ye Feng happened to be washing in the clean room, and before Liu Changzhao came, Xia Ju handed over the duck to Xunying, saying that he was filial to Lord Ye and Liu Gongzi.

Xunying took it and smiled, "Ouch, this is the sauce duck from Beiyan Restaurant, my uncle and cousin both like this taste." Thank you, Brother Xia, and thank you for your mother and your sister. ”

After Xia Ju left, Xunying put the duck into a fine porcelain dish with a blue and white background.

Xunmei frowned and said, "Those two hillbillies are quite good at stammering. What kind of characters are our uncle and cousin, how can they scarcely give the pickled food they send and reward them to the sweeping Mrs. He to eat. ”

So saying, he was to take out the plate of ducks.

Xunying hurriedly stopped, "Rare or not, the uncle has the final say." How can we dispose of the things that others give to the uncle and cousin at will. ”

As he was talking, Ye Feng, who was dressed in civilian clothes, came over.

Xunying curtsied and smiled, "Uncle, Miss Xia and Brother Xia went to the street to play today, and they also brought back a sauce duck from Beiyan Restaurant for Uncle and Cousin. As he spoke, he pointed to the duck.

Ye Feng listened, and a smile crossed his expressionless face.

It is difficult for Ye Feng to have a smile on anyone's face at home, he is expressionless, and the same is true in the Guogong Mansion in the capital.

This not only surprised Xunmei, but even Xunying was stunned.

When Liu Changzhao came, the two sat down at the table to eat, and Xun Mei poured wine for them.

Ye Feng said again, "Go, call Ye Li here, the master has something to do for him." ”

Xunying went out to spread the word, and later the golden arrow walked in. Yu reported, "Uncle, Brother Li and Ye Quan were called away by Brother Jin, saying that Deputy Lieutenant Xia invited them to drink in the backyard. ”

Ye Feng was eating duck with sauce, and his face sank when he heard it, and his heart was extremely uncomfortable. complained that Xia Shan didn't have a little eyesight, and invited Ye Li and the three of them, but they didn't know how to invite themselves. Even if you are invited, will you still go?

Think about it, go to the yard where she lives to drink, he really wants to go.

Xun Mei saw his uncle throwing the duck bones on the table with a heavy face, pursed his lips and smiled. She said, well, her uncle's fairy-like character, how rare is the food sent by the countrymen.

Liu Changzhao was also unhappy, rolled his eyelids, and muttered, "That Deputy Lieutenant Xia looked like a very clever person, but it turned out to be a wood." The master has not gone to Miss Xia's house for dinner before, how can he only invite them and not us? He glanced at Ye Feng and said, "Oh, they definitely don't dare to invite my cousin, so they won't invite me together." Hmph, I have to talk about that girl, I'm so approachable, don't let me be left behind when I have a dinner invitation. "He is really lonely, he doesn't have any friends here, Ye Feng manages him tightly, and he rarely goes out to eat.

Ye Feng was speechless for a while, he didn't invite him because of himself.

Xunying hurriedly smiled, "Miss Xia asked Brother Xia to honor the uncle and cousin for a plate of ducks." ”

Liu Changzhao heard that this duck was sent by Xia Li, and he felt better.

Xunmei listened to Liu Changzhao's words, and his heart trembled, his cousin often went to the country girl's house to drink? Fortunately, the family was self-aware and didn't dare to invite their own uncle......

After the meal, Ye Quan drank a little too much, and went back to the house to rest, Ye Li and Ye Jin went to Tengshuge together.

The first floor of Teng Shu Pavilion is Ye Feng's living room, the second floor is the inner study, and the third floor is the bedroom. Ye Feng usually lives in the back hall more, and when he reads late in Tengshuge, he will also live here.

At this time, Ye Feng was on the second floor of Tengshuge.

They reported that Xia Li's mother and daughter wanted to buy a house on Dongrong Street, and they took a fancy to a shop on Jinyan Street.

The corners of Ye Feng's mouth hooked, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Has General Jin's mansion been sold?" ”

General Jin turned out to be a thousand households under Ye Feng, and was transferred to Huaxian County as a garrison last year, and his family members moved away, leaving only an old man to guard the house. His house is next to the Yudai River, and it is only a dozen zhang away from the Dusi Mansion on the other side of the river.

Ye Jin said, "It doesn't seem to be there yet." But," he hesitated, then added, "General Jin's house is not very large, but it is very new, and it is larger than the other two houses, and the houses and trees inside are well planned. The asking price is 210 taels, and the selling price is expensive in the area of Tung Wing Street. It's the shop on Jinyan Street, Aunt Xia is still too expensive, and they may not be willing to spend so much money to buy a house. ”

Ye Feng listened, his slender fingers tapped the bookcase a few times, and whispered a few words to them. At the end, he also said, "I also want Huzi to ...... Oh, Dangdang, let it live at home with peace of mind. Let them be at ease when they are near, and find them in any matter. ”

Ye Jin and Ye Li hurriedly bowed down.

At the beginning of the day, Ye Feng put down his pen and walked to the window to look at the courtyard. There was no shadow in the small courtyard, only Qinghui spread all over the courtyard. He stood for a moment, then left disappointed.

At this time, Xia Li had just entered the house not long ago. She saw the brilliant lights of Tengshuge and knew that Ye Feng was there. She had been looking out into the courtyard at the towering attic, and she hadn't seen that familiar face appear in front of the window. She didn't dare to stand for long, so she entered the house disappointed.

She sat by the window, looking out at the courtyard full of clear light, the leaves fluttering in the night breeze, occasionally dropping a few pieces.

She thought in her heart that she would spend four hundred and fifty taels of silver to buy a shop, and then redecorate it to buy tables, chairs, pots and pans, and probably use dozens of taels of silver. Spend about 130 taels to buy a small yard, and it will probably cost 20 taels of silver to decorate and buy furniture. Together, these cost nearly six taels of silver. Take another 100 taels out to make the working capital of the restaurant, so that 700 taels of silver will be removed. The family still has a deposit of more than 600 taels of silver, and his future life is also guaranteed...... When she earned more money, the bandits were eliminated again, and then she bought some fertile land and Zhuangzi outside the city, and she liked the quiet life in the countryside.

After figuring it out, she went to bed to rest.
