263. Settle down

On the second day, Rong Qiaoyan and Aunt Shuang stayed in the room and asked Shi Jingtao to go out to handle matters such as renting a house.

They even let the shopkeeper put it at the door and get it themselves.

"I really didn't expect that. The dignified first product is the first assistant, and it will fall down. Suddenly, two people passing by the door started gossiping.

When Rong Qiaoyan heard the words Shoufu, she glanced at Aunt Shuang, and walked quickly to the door to listen to the words outside the door.

"Not really. Although he didn't go to prison, he was imprisoned. Another person sighed.

"But is your news accurate?" The man sighed, then questioned.

"Of course. My uncle's cousin's brother-in-law's neighbor was in the Zhenbei Army. It's no secret, it's been passed down with the post newspaper a long time ago. ”

The person who was questioned defended unconvinced.

The voices of the two men grew farther and farther apart. After a while, the sound of them coming down the stairs could be heard.

Rong Qiaoyan and Aunt Shuang returned to the table and sat down, and they were silent for a while.

After a long time, Aunt Shuang looked at Rong Qiaoyan uncertainly, "Yan'er, what they said about Shoufu, isn't it?" ”

Rong Qiaoyan was also suspicious. However, there is no certainty.

After all, in the twenty-eighth year of Jing'an in the previous life, the Rong Mansion was defeated.

Now, it's only 22 years of Jing'an. According to the trajectory of the previous life, the position of the first assistant of Rong Shoufu is firm.

"When Shi Jingtao comes back, I'll ask him to inquire. Listening to the man's meaning, this matter is not a secret, and he should be able to find out. ”

After pondering for a long time, Rong Qiaoyan could only wait for Shi Jingtao to investigate.

Shi Jingtao came back soon, and Rong Qiaoyan was very surprised.

"Miss, it's a coincidence. When the little one went to inquire with the guy at the inn, the guy said that his uncle was. Therefore, I went straight to someone. And because the young lady's request was very detailed, she quickly chose a small house with two courtyards. ”

Shi Jingtao naturally saw Rong Qiaoyan's look of surprise, and quickly explained.

However, after he finished talking about his rental of a house, he continued without worry: "It's just that this town is a small town after all, and there are no officers and soldiers guarding it, so the small one doesn't feel very safe." Otherwise, let's go to Wang'an City, shall we? In Wang'an City, there are always officials and garrisons, and the protection can be tighter. ”

When Shi Jingtao went out to look at the house, he naturally saw the depression on the street, so he inquired about it.

He didn't quite understand why Rong Qiaoyan didn't go to Wang'an City to settle down. There, after all, it's safer.

Rong Qiaoyan listened to Shi Jingtao's doubts, but she also had her own thoughts.

She saw what Shi Jingtao did along the way, even though she regarded Shi Jingtao as her own person, she still had a little protection.

So, she didn't tell all the plans. At least, they didn't plan to tell Shi Jingtao that they would change their household dishes again.

"It doesn't matter. Did you rent that house according to my request? Rong Qiaoyan didn't plan to explain, but continued to ask about Shi Jingtao.

"Yes. The second courtyard is only one street away from Lizheng's house, and it is the house of a Xiucai family that day. Na Xiucai moved to Wang'an City. The house was rented out. The neighbors are all merchants, and their lives are relatively wealthy, and there are many subordinates. It is the safest street in the entire Wangning Town. ”

Shi Jingtao saw that Rong Qiaoyan changed the topic, so he introduced the situation of the rented house in detail.

"That's fine. Let's move in now. ”

After Rong Qiaoyan finished speaking, she and Aunt Shuang took the package and followed Shi Jingtao to move to the newly rented house.

The surrounding environment of the house is indeed as Shi Jingtao said, but the area is not large.

Although it is a second courtyard, in fact, there is just a door in the middle, separating the front yard from the back yard.

Therefore, there is no main house in the front yard, only a side room.

However, Rong Qiaoyan and they are few, so it doesn't matter.

Rong Qiaoyan went to the backyard and took a look. There are three main rooms, one on each side of the wings.

The Chinese man said that this Xiucai family was originally a family with a small fortune. It's just that they have a scholar at home. There are very few scholars in this northland, so it is quite expensive to hire a master or buy the four treasures of the study. Therefore, it is also when it is sold, and when it is sold, it is sold. finally confessed a show. Na Xiucai went to Wang'ancheng to find a private school to teach, and by the way, he was preparing for the imperial examination. Therefore, I brought my family with me. This is their old house, and they are reluctant to sell it. However, it was also difficult to live in Nawangancheng, so I rented it out. One is that there are people living in a house, and the house will not be dilapidated; The second is that you can also get some money to supplement the life of the county. ”

Shi Jingtao knew that Rong Qiaoyan was the young lady of the Shoufu Mansion, and now looking at her and looking at the house, he felt that she felt that the house was small, so he explained.

"It doesn't matter. There were few of us, enough to live. As long as the surroundings are good. ”

Rong Qiaoyan naturally didn't care. The hard days of the road have passed, are you still afraid of this humble accommodation environment?

"Mother, this is the main hall in the middle. There are two rooms on the left and right, let's choose one for each of us to live in. ”

After Rong Qiaoyan read it, she suggested to Aunt Shuang.

"It's not a big house. If you don't live by yourself, I'll go live in a wing. ”

Aunt Shuang looked at the main house, which was smaller than Rong Qiaoyan's house in the Shoufu Mansion, and couldn't help but say distressedly.

"I want to have my mother with me. Otherwise, I'd be scared to sleep alone. Rong Qiaoyan said coquettishly.

Aunt Frost was so grinded by her that she naturally agreed.

Then, Rong Qiaoyan asked Shi Jingtao to go to the street to buy some food, daily necessities and the like, and inquire about hiring a mother-in-law to do work.

When on the road, one is for safety, and the other is for hurrying, so it is naturally inconvenient to hire someone to serve you.

Now, if you want to stay in this northern land for a while, of course, you don't have to do everything yourself.

Shi Jingtao agreed and went out to work.

He was busy shopping and watching people deliver.

In the evening, the people in this alley knew that there were new tenants in the original Xiucai Gong's house.

Because of the relatively small number of people in the Northland, coupled with the war, the flow of people is extremely frequent.

Therefore, whether it is buying or selling a house or renting something, it is not as strict as the requirements of the capital, and the consent of relatives and neighbors is required.

Therefore, the neighbors are no longer surprised by the frequent substitutions in the house.

If there is a subordinate, he will call the subordinate to run around; There was no one to go down, so he went around by himself.

As a result, the tenant information in Xiucaigong's house is almost understood.

Because the man died of illness, the hostess took her daughter to the man's hometown to join her, but she didn't meet her.

However, if it was cold today, the previous long journey had already made the mother and daughter unwell.

Therefore, they can only wait until the spring weather is warm next year, and the mother and daughter will leave the north and return to their hometown to live.

The neighbors listened to the grapevine and left satisfied.

Rong Qiaoyan hid behind the gate, looking at Shi Jingtao at the gate as if he had no scheming, telling those people about his own affairs.

Along the way, although she nestled in the carriage all day and did not come out, her ears were always pricked up.

Those dart masters, because of the long distance, will naturally often chat to pass the time.

Therefore, those big and small things, anecdotes, etc., Rong Qiaoyan heard one or two.

She thought that her mother and daughter lived here, and if there was no news at all, it would be even more curious, so she asked Shi Jingtao to reveal one or two things appropriately. I just hope that these few months can be spent in peace.

"You go to the street tomorrow to buy some snacks and drinks, and go to Lizheng's house in the morning to report in person." With our household plate and road guide, let Li Zheng rest assured. I just said that my mother and I were unwell, and I was afraid of infecting them, so I would visit them when I was ready. ”

When the people who inquired about the news left, Shi Jingtao came in and closed the door, and Rong Qiaoyan commanded in a low voice.

Even though you don't need to go to the county government to register, you still need to report to Li Zheng if you live in this town for several months.

Shi Jingtao hurriedly responded.

After Rong Qiaoyan finished speaking, she didn't leave.
