The ox cart stopped in front of Fanning's mansion, and Akihito was about to rush to settle the bill with the ox cart, so he hurriedly jumped off the ox cart, but was grabbed by Fanning, "Let's rent three better cars for everyone to have fun in the capital!" ”

Akihito suddenly came to his senses and said with a smile: "If you don't remind me, I really forgot, don't worry!" I'll arrange it. ”

He hurried to the checkout, in addition to Fan Ning's parents, the third and fourth families of this mansion are coming for the first time, everyone admired the wall, turned to the courtyard, and suddenly exclaimed, of course, they exclaimed not Cuiyun Peak, but the majestic and towering Cuiyuan Building and the chic layout.

The five-zhang tall Cuiyun in this area can only be compared with the Taixue Library, but it is not that you can build as high as you want to build the building, otherwise those rich and powerful businessmen would have already built the high-rise building to the sky.

Generally, merchants and wealthy families can only build two to three floors at most, the standard is not to exceed the inner city wall, and the inner city wall is only two zhang, it is impossible to build nearly five zhang of Cuiyun Tower, only the people who have been specially approved by the imperial court can build high-rise buildings, and generally temples or mansions of magnates have a chance to be approved.

Fan Ning's Cuiyun Building was originally the Yang family's Yong Martyr's Building, which was approved to imitate the Wansheng Building in the palace, if Fan Ning took over if it was not for the special approval of the Son of Heaven, he would have demolished this building, the honor of the Yang family, he bought this house may not be able to inherit,

Because it is not easy to build a tall building, there are very few courtyards with an open layout like this, and it is a waste for ordinary people to build a two-story building surrounded by trees.

"Like it!"

Zhang Sanniang said a little proudly in her heart: "There is a guest room there, if you like it, everyone has been living in it in the capital these days." ”

Fan Tieniu hadn't spoken yet, his three children all jumped up with cheer, living in this kind of high-rise building, which child doesn't like it?

Fan Tiezhou didn't say anything, but his face was a little ugly, so Zhang Sanniang pretended not to see it.

Zhang Sanniang and her husband had a dispute over this matter, Zhang Sanniang opposed everyone living in the inner house, not because she was stingy, but because her son was going to get married, there could be no outsiders living in the inner house.

is also because there are not many houses in the inner house, just two courtyards on the left and right and a water pavilion in the middle, Zhang Sanniang doesn't want her son to have someone else living around when he is newly married, even if it is his own uncle.

After all, Fan Tieniu is a rural man in Wu County, he doesn't pay much attention to personal privacy or anything, he doesn't understand these details, where does the master arrange for him to live?

But Zhang Sanniang's attitude is extremely resolute, this is her son's marriage, not your Fan Tiezhou's dinner, and this is the mansion that your son bought with his own money, you Fan Tiezhou didn't pay a penny, so you are not qualified to arrange who to live where?

The son is already a high-ranking official in the imperial court, of course, according to the rules of high-ranking officials, the inner house is not for anyone to live in.

Besides, living in Cuiyun Building is already very good, if it is not the third uncle, then it has to be arranged in the courtyard of the old Caomen, where the second uncle Fan Tiege's family currently lives.

Of course, Fan Tiezhou didn't want to snub his brother and bring his brother's family to the capital, how could he not entertain him without the best food and accommodation? He didn't think there was anything wrong with living in an inner house.

He and his wife argued over this matter, and in the end, it was Zhang Sanniang's last hard words that blocked his mouth, "If you want to put your son's cave room in the Zhu family, then you can do it!" ’

Even if he agrees, the Zhu family may not necessarily agree! Fan Tiezhou had to lose the dispute with his wife, but Fan Tiezhou also put forward a condition, and their family also lived in Cuiyun Building, so the third family had no idea.

Zhang Sanniang agreed to this condition.

Everyone walked through the woods together, a few children jumped and ran in front, Zhang Sanniang vigilantly glanced at the children of the third family, especially the youngest daughter, who likes to climb mountains and trees the most, she has to remind the third child, this precious stone is not allowed to his children to touch casually.

Zhang Sanniang has to give her husband face, she can't say it so bluntly, and remind her implicitly.

She pretended to look at Cuiyun Peak with admiration, and asked her son with a smile, "A-Ning, I heard that this stone is very valuable and valuable, right?" ”

Fan Ning didn't see his mother's thoughts, he smiled and said: "This Cuiyun Peak is known as the first stone in the capital, it is indeed very precious, it was Old Man Zhu who lent it to me for a few years, I heard that His Royal Highness King Wei was willing to pay 300,000 yuan to buy it, and Old Man Zhu did not agree!" ”

Fan Tieniu next to him heard that it was worth 300,000 yuan, and he was so shocked that his tongue stretched out, he suddenly took a few steps forward, and grabbed the third child, Aji, the youngest daughter is the most naughty and active, I have to watch her closely, don't let her climb on the stone to play, bump and bump, and I can't afford to lose if I sell myself.

"A-Ning, will someone steal such a valuable stone placed here?" Fourth Aunt Wang asked Fan Ning in a low voice.

Speaking of which, it is very possible, behind his mansion is Cai He, in the middle of the night, more than a dozen thieves came in, with a set of ropes, they moved this priceless Taihu Lake stone on a small boat and transported it away, you must know that you have not lived here for two years, and Fan Ning does not know how Zhu Yuanfeng used to watch this stone.

At this time, Mingren smiled and said: "I know about this matter, I heard my father say that when A-Ning was not in the capital, this Taihu Lake stone was placed on the mansion of Zhu Daguan. ”

The plan suddenly came to an eye, it turned out to be placed on Zhu Yuanfeng's mansion, and it is estimated that Cuiyunfeng only moved back yesterday.

Fanning took a closer look, and it was really like this, the soil on the stone altar was all newly renovated, and it should have been sent back just now.

However, the owner of this Cuiyun Peak, Fan Ning is still confused, Zhu Pei refuses to tell him the truth, and he can only guess that Zhu Yuanfu lent it to him for a few years.

"That's it! Everyone went into the house to rest, the guest rooms were on both sides of the second floor, and the rooms were cleaned. ”

There are eight rooms on the second floor, which is enough for everyone.

In addition, there is a master's outroom on the third floor, and large families have an outroom, such as the hostess's miscarriage or the days when the child is born, the man has to avoid, and then Fanning has to move out to live, so he can live in the master's outroom on the third floor.

Or Fanning is tired of reading in the study outside and wants to rest for a while, so he can live on the third floor.

Several children had already run up to the second floor first, and Fanning said to her mother Zhang Sanniang: "Mother, you will live in the east inner courtyard!" ”

Zhang Sanniang shook her head, "The back house is a marriage room, we can't live in it, we also live on the second floor." ”

"The west inner courtyard for the marriage room is enough, anyway, the east inner courtyard is empty, and you and your father and little sister happen to live there."

Zhang Sanniang glanced at Fan Tieniu and saw that their family had already entered, so she whispered to her son: "We can't live in the inner courtyard, your father will feel that he is snubbing the third uncle, don't make him embarrassed, it's quite convenient to live in the guest room." ”

Fan Ning scratched his head, "Otherwise, you live on the third floor, the third floor is also the master room, the conditions are quite good, and I live in the study on the fourth floor." ”

Zhang Sanniang thought about it and said with a smile: "Then lock the inner house, everyone will not live, and let the Zhu family make the bed then, and your father will have nothing to say!" ”

Everyone went up to the second floor, the middle hall on the second floor is very wide, there are more than 200 square meters, it is the place where the clansmen usually gather, and it is also the dining hall for eating, there are twenty tables and chairs, all of which are made of precious golden silk nan wood, and in the middle is a long table put together with two large tables, which is two zhang long.

On the periphery of the second floor are guest rooms, there are four rooms on the left and right, each of which is about 30 square meters, two of which are suites, which are for many families to live in, and all kinds of furniture are readily available.

The third uncle's family of five lived in the east suite, and the fourth uncle, Fan Tongzhong, would come a few days late, and their family lived in the west suite.

Fanning's parents and sister lived on the third floor, the third floor was originally an outer study, and the fourth floor was a storage room, Fanning renovated it, and changed the original first floor several guest rooms into storage rooms, the second floor of the clan rest room into a guest room, the fourth floor became his study, and the third floor was the library and the master's outer room.

In the future, children's reading and learning will also be placed on the third floor.

My younger sister Addo likes the third floor the most, she is more fond of reading now, and her brother has a collection of 2,000 books on the third floor, which just satisfies her hobby of reading.

Fanning arranged the room for his parents and sister, and when he came out of the house, he saw his sister standing in front of the bookshelf and choosing books, so he stepped forward and asked with a smile, "Like these books?" ”

Addo nodded happily, "I like it very much, thank you, brother!" ”

Fan Ning touched her sister's head with pity, and said with a smile: "This place is very close to Taixue, and there are many bookstores around, so I will accompany you to go shopping in two days." ”

"My brother doesn't have to accompany me if he's busy, I'll go with my fourth aunt."

"The fourth aunt has also read?" Fanning asked curiously.

Ah Duo nodded, "The fourth aunt has been reading books for a few years, and she likes to watch Zhiwei." ”

"Huh! I seem to have a few copies here, and you can send them to the fourth aunt when you go back. ”

"I see, by the way, where are we washing?"

This is also a big problem, last time my parents came over three years ago, they brought a maid, and there was Xiaodong by their side, it was very convenient to boil water and cook, and now there is no one in the house, so I can't let my mother go to the fire to cook!

There is also a poured toilet, so my father and third uncle can't go to the door with the toilet every day!

Fanning planned to find a tooth man to arrange some temporary servants to do rough work to come and help, and then the meals were outsourced, although this was a bit inappropriate, but there was no way, so it was too late for him to recruit people now.

At this moment, there was a sound of running at the staircase, and I saw Akihito shouting at the turn: "A-Ning, someone from the Zhu family is here, you can go for a while!" ”
