Wang Qin'er is older than Xie Rongzhao, whether Xie Rongzhao wants to or not, he has to call her sister.

Liu Ruolan knew that Xu Ruyi should have something to talk about when he came over, so she smiled and said: "You two children go outside to play, I remember that Cheng Sanlang brought you a lot of good things, and I just took your sister Wang over to see a strange thing." ”

"Yes, my daughter is leaving."

As soon as the two little girls left, Xu Ruyi's expression relaxed a little.

"My sister-in-law came here on purpose, but what's the matter?"

Xu Ruyi didn't want to mention what it was like in her heart, but now she is a lady with a fate, and she is still willing to call her sister-in-law, but think about those bad relatives in her own family......

Can't compare, can't compare at all!

"Well, I'm not going to be polite to you anymore. It's not my good women, I pinch in front of my mother-in-law every day, I have to bring my family to the capital to see, it's nothing, I think it's all a family, and it doesn't hurt to come and live for a while. But you also know that the courtyard of our house is not as good as your junior here. The letter I received before, more than 20 people, old and young, are coming over, what do you think I should do? ”

Liu Ruolan was also shocked, and more than 20 people were added at once, and the place where she lived was indeed a problem.

"Can they go? What did your grandfather say? ”

Xu Ruyi sighed: "I haven't left yet." I mentioned it to my lord last night, what can he say? Do you want the old ones to come, or don't you let the young ones come? How could he say such a thing? ”

Liu Ruolan can also understand, after all, Wang Jin's situation is not the same as theirs.

Wang Jin's family is prosperous, Wang Jin can have today, thanks to the family's support, he himself and Xu Ruyi have never suffered from the money, now he is beautiful, the elders and brothers in the family want to come and see, which is also reasonable.

Wang Jin is unwilling in his heart, and he can't say it, not to mention, he may not be unwilling.

"In that case, then we have to let them come?"

"Yes, when is this time, if you come, if you have traveled a long way, you will definitely have to go back after the New Year. I don't have anything, but the house is indeed compact, we have only been back in Beijing for less than a year, and I am not as good as you can run it, and the money in my hand is really not surplus. ”

It's not that she deliberately cried poor.

In the past, when he was in office outside, he only relied on Wang Jin's little money, how could a large family live?

But Wang Jin is upright and unwilling to accept gifts, so Xu Ruyi has a lot of money to make up for it.

In the past few years, the money they had saved before had almost lost their money.

Fortunately, after returning to Beijing, with Xie Xiuwen's help to speak, whether it was Zhitian or Fengyin, he was never in arrears, but now Wang Jin's land income is also counted, only their family can still do it, if more than 20 people are added, this silver is really not enough.

"Yes, more than 20 people are masters, and if you want to add more people, even if you say less, you have to buy twenty or thirty, and this servant can't have no place to rest!"

Xu Ruyi was told the central matter, and his face was even more sad: "It's not." But my lord is a simple man, and he feels that he has spent a lot of money in the family over the years, and he is now an official of the imperial court, and he is even more embarrassed to ask for it from the house. I still have some dowry, but I can't make it all up. ”

Liu Ruolan understood why she was so anxious.

With so many people, it's a big problem just to live, let alone to eat?

"It's really not good, you can rent a house near your house, preferably closer, so that your concubines will not have any more grievances."

Xu Ruyi shook his head: "I also thought of this method, and sent someone to inquire." It is not cheap to rent a house in this inner city, and the minimum rent is a year, which costs more than 200 taels of silver. ”

Liu Ruolan gasped when she heard this.

More than two hundred taels!

It's really a lot, and you can buy a small yard in Gaoyang County.

"It's not that I can't afford to pay the rent, but I still have to buy furniture and buy servants, and when the time comes, will these servants have to pay their monthly money from me? I couldn't see anything inside and outside, so I had to fold in three or four hundred taels of silver. If the purchase is poor, it is inevitable that a few of them will complain, but if the purchase is too good, I really can't come up with so much money. ”

Liu Ruolan didn't recruit either: "Then why don't you rent a yard in the outer city?" When the time comes, all the servants who are not on duty will be placed over there, and there should be some good houses in the subordinate rooms, right? It is not considered to treat them harshly if they are freed up for the juniors to live. ”

Xu Ruyi was stunned for a moment, and then clapped his hands and said, "This method is good!" I didn't expect that. If you squeeze it like this, it's pretty much the same. ”

Wang Qin'er and her sister-in-law originally lived in the same courtyard, and when the time came, they would vacate an east wing room, and they could also arrange for two nieces to live in it.

"If you move a few boys to live in one courtyard, you should be able to free up two small courtyards, and you will live together after all, so that they won't be picked on."

The Wang family is rich, but it is not a rich and noble family.

In the old mansion of the Wang family, the concubines and concubines are not qualified to live in a courtyard alone, mainly because the mansion is small and cannot be arranged, so simply let the concubines and concubines squeeze it.

Xu Ruyi remembered that when she lived in the Wang family's old mansion, she had several nieces who lived in a courtyard, and now she still arranges it like this, which is not considered to have wronged the children.

They had an idea here, Xu Ruyi was in a good mood, and they chatted about some gossip in Beijing.

And Wang Qin'er looked at the courtyard where Xie Rongzhao lived with envy, which was bigger than the courtyard she shared with her sister-in-law, with many houses and a large courtyard, not only water and flowers, but also pavilions and swings!

is also a young lady from an official eunuch's family, why is this treatment so much worse?

The more I looked, the more envious and jealous I became, how nice it would be if she could have such a yard? You don't have to think about having good things all day long, and you have to guard against your sister.

"Sister Zhao, this time you have been away from Beijing for a long time, something big happened in the capital, do you know?"

Xie Rongzhao looked up in confusion, what big thing can happen in the capital?

Could there be anything bigger than King Ping's rebellion?

Seeing her reaction, Wang Qin'er felt a little more meaningful in her heart: "The prince of the Dingguo Mansion is discussing marriage, although he has not yet bowed, but I heard that it has been decided." ”

Xie Rongzhao understood this time: "Oh, which young lady is it?" ”

Wang Qin'er was not in a hurry when she saw her, could it be that she and Wang Shizi did not have that kind of relationship?

"It seems to be the Xie family on Anhe Street, there are rumors that it is Xie Chunning, but I don't know if it's true or not."
