During the Chinese New Year, the real estate agents were rested, and no one could be found for a while. Ma Shi instructed Cui Bo and Ma to pay more attention to the nearby news on weekdays to see if there were any vacant houses on the market.

As soon as Cui Bo responded, Ma Li said: "I heard from the concierge of the Chen family next door this morning that his master may be transferred away after the New Year, and he is trying to rent out the house." The last one to enter the yard is not rented, and the family who stays to let go and can't take it away only rents out the first two yards. ”

Ma Shi was surprised: "Chen Qianhu wants to be transferred?" Yesterday, when I was eating New Year's wine in the Zhenguo Mansion, I didn't hear his wife talk about it. They also made an appointment to see the lanterns together during the Lantern Festival! ”

Ma Li replied: "I only listened to him this morning when he opened the door and swept the floor." It is said that the owner's family is in a hurry, and it is estimated that he will leave after the year, leaving a room for his family to watch the house. He didn't want to stay, and he wanted to go to Shanxi to see the world, but his wife didn't want to leave his hometown, and the two quarreled. He hadn't slept well all night, and he was groggy when he woke up early, and he almost hit his forehead. ”

Ma secretly wrote down this matter, and planned to go back to tell her husband, so she asked Ma Li to find a way to inquire, what is the price of the Chen family's house? Will you sell?

The Chen family's house is next to the Hai family, and the two families are separated by a narrow aisle. If the Hai family can buy the Chen family's house, it will be very convenient for the two sides to come and go. Not to mention acting as a courtyard, it is okay to let Xie Wenzai take Cao Gengyun and Lu Bainian to live in it directly! The meal is still in Hai's house, and the kitchen is ready and sent over, which is no different from at home. Send two more people to take care of their daily life, clean and wash and so on, and finally add two or three more scholars, and everything is complete.

The Hai family's expenses have not increased much, but Xie Wenzai's daily living standards have greatly improved, and occasionally go out to visit a friend, or invite a friend to the house for a small gathering, they don't need to take care of the Hai family anymore, which is much more convenient than now.

Ma decided to go back and discuss the matter with Haixi Cliff.

Cui Bo and Ma Li went out, but Haitang, who was huddled in the middle of the kang to read idle books, was attracted by the latter's words and fell into deep thought.

When the Guogong Mansion set up the New Year's wine, there were rumors that someone from the Northwest Frontier Army would be transferred to serve elsewhere. The Tang family is very active in wanting to fight for it, and they have wanted to enter Beijing for a long time. But before that, there was news from Zhuang Tongzhi that the Shanxi Metropolitan Division would also transfer people over.

Could it be that Chen Qianhu next door is one of the people who received the appointment? Is he going to serve under the Shanxi Metropolitan Division?

Haitang remembered that when her grandmother Ma chatted with Aunt Ma next to her, she seemed to have mentioned that Mrs. Chen next door was from Shanxi, and she had never returned to her parents' house for more than 20 years since she had been married, and she would cry every time she thought about it. Chen Qianhu is not from a big family, and he has no relatives and friends in Chang'an, so he may have been transferred voluntarily......

Haitang silently pressed this matter in his heart, and planned to go back and mention it to his brother Haijiao.

The reef led the horse out early this morning. He made an appointment with Zhou Yijun and other new friends to go out of the city today. I don't know where this group of half-grown teenagers got such great interest in this cold day, running out of the city every day.

Actually, not to mention the young man Haijiao, Haixi Cliff, Xie Wenzai, and Cao Gengyun are not idle today, and they went out to visit friends. If Xie Wenzai really intends to officially accept Wu Ke as a student, it is estimated that it will take some effort.

Wu Wen'an's reputation in Chang'an was mixed. On the one hand, he is the husband of the old aunt and wife of the Zhou family, and he is naturally close to the Zhou family, and even the exiled students, subordinates and followers are also taken care of by the Zhou family and other border army generals; But on the other hand, he never said anything good or benefited for the Zhou family and the Northwest Frontier Army in front of the emperor. In the most difficult years of the Northwest Frontier Army, he was still alive and had some power in the court, but he never persuaded the emperor and the household department to allocate more money to the northwest, whether it was military expenses or disaster relief silver......

If he said it didn't work, but he didn't even speak, the military and people in the northwest would inevitably feel disappointed, feeling that he, the son-in-law of the Zhou family, was not sincere enough......

Of course, with the face of Mrs. Wu Zhou, and the protection of the Zhenguo Mansion, the people of Chang'an do not have any ill feelings towards the grandchildren of Wu Wen'an. It's just that Xie Wenzai has been in the northwest for many years, and his reputation has always been very good, and in the past, there were still many people who admired him for his outstanding learning and wanted to study under him. He was still a criminal at that time, and he didn't want to implicate innocent people, so he politely refused. After being rehabilitated, the matter was brought up again, but he refused again on the grounds of old age and lack of energy. He has only taught the children and grandchildren of the Hai family to read, although outsiders feel sorry, they can understand. But if he suddenly breaks his routine and takes the grandson of the Wu family as an apprentice, then many people will not be able to sit still......

Begonia read a book in the upper room, passed the time, and went back to the house to rest after lunch. She took a nap, got up, pulled out the wheelchair blueprint, and double-checked it again to see if there were any shortcomings.

Not long after, the porter sent a letter to her, saying that it was from the Zhenguo Mansion.

Haitang opened the letter and looked at it, but it was Zhou Wenjun who wrote a letter to invite her to go shopping tomorrow. In the New Year, all families have to go around and kowtow to relatives, but on the ninth day of the new year, they have been to the places they should go, and the things they should do are done.

Zhou Wenjun was going to take Zhou Yijun and Zhou Xuejun, and then make an appointment with Peng Yuqi and Begonia, as well as a few healthy women, and a few people took a car to meet near the temple fair, and then went shopping together. Even for lunch, they plan to use it outside. As for whether to eat mutton pot or go to the teahouse to taste Jiangnan cuisine while listening to the play, then we will discuss it after meeting.

Haitang was moved when she heard this, and immediately went to the upper room to find her grandmother Ma Shi to report.

Don't look at her complaining in her heart that no one in her family is at home, in fact, when she has the opportunity to go out to play, she is also happy to run outside.

Ma Shi did not object to her playing with the ladies of the Zhenguo Mansion, but was worried that it would not be safe for her to go alone: "Why don't you bring two more people, what if you don't have long eyes?" You are a little girl, even if you learn two whip techniques, you may not be able to beat the strength of others. Why don't you call your brother? ”

Haitang smiled: "Sister Wenjun, they only bring healthy women, not brothers, how can I make an exception?" Besides, our little girl's house is shopping, what is my brother doing when he comes in? I don't have to gossip about it, and I criticize our family for wanting to climb high branches. ”

Although the Ma family has not had the idea of letting her grandson marry Miss Zhou, but the eldest lady of Zhou Wenjun's level, she has never dared to think about it, and hurriedly said: "Then forget it, you bring the grapes, and if there is something, you can let her help run an errand and spread a word." Ming'er asked your brother to send you to the vicinity of the temple fair, and when he saw you meeting Miss Wenjun, he could leave without having to come forward to talk. ”

At the New Year's banquet, she didn't hear about the abrupt words and deeds of the Jin family's grandson. It is said that Miss Peng invited Miss Wen Jun to be a guest, and he wanted to be cheeky and stay to talk! Who doesn't say that the Jin family is cheeky? Their Hai family's precious grandson can't have such a bad reputation!

Begonia has no objection to her grandmother's arrangement. The next morning, she was escorted by her brother Haijiao and took a car to the vicinity of the temple fair. After a while, she saw Zhou Wenjun and others waiting in front of a teahouse in front of her.

She hurriedly greeted her brother, got out of the car with the grapes and ran over, and was about to wave hello with a smile on her face, when she saw Zhou Yijun raise her index finger at her and "shhhh

Begonia blinked, walked over quietly, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" ”

Zhou Yijun pointed upstairs: "Sister Tang Hui is here, and she has entered the private room on the second floor, and Jin Shan has just entered the door." ”

What? Private meeting? So exciting?!

Zhou Wenjun added: "The fourth aunt asked her cousin to go out today, and she also had tea inside!" ”
