On this day, the Ding brothers drove a carriage, and after walking only two streets, they entered an alley. The name of this alley is Tai'an Hou Hutong, and half of the alley was originally Tai'an Hou's mansion.

Time has passed, Tai'an waited for the defeat of three generations of families, this house was divided and changed, and part of it became today's Feng'en General's Mansion.

The carriage and horse stopped in front of the door, and Li Weijian frowned secretly as he looked at the bright gate. At this time, there is a fixed number of mansions, but not everyone can live in such a mansion.

Looking up, the plaque had already been removed, and there was a gloom in front of the door. Ding Rufeng stepped forward to call the door, and Ding Rusong briefly explained the ins and outs.

Dashun learned the lessons of the previous Ming Dynasty and no longer restrained the clan, and those below the king of the county can be admitted to the government and make a living economically. The previous generation of General Feng'en had three sons under his knees, and when he died, the three brothers fought lawsuits for the family property. After fighting for each other, the valuable items in the mansion were emptied, and only this empty mansion remained.

An old family member opened the door and heard that he was coming to see the house, so he sighed and lured Li Weijian in. This house is only three into, the main house, the wing room, the ear room a total of seventeen and a half rooms, the side of the moon gate through the garden, a pool of clear water in the middle of the line, pavilions and pavilions in a few places, rough look messy, but also because of the neglect of care, want to come to pick up is also exquisite.

After seeing it, Li Weijian secretly thought in his heart, the price of such a house in the inner city of Beijing is really not expensive to ask for 9,000 taels. There is only one ...... He called the old family member and asked, "Old man, I don't know who is the Li family who sells this house?" ”

The old family said: "My master is busy with his studies and is impatient with these chores. If this son is interested, let's pay the cash and go straight to Shuntian Mansion to transfer the house, so why bother to ask my master? ”

"Eight thousand taels?"

The old family snorted and agreed.

Li Weijian said with a smile: "I will pay nine thousand taels, just one request, the deed must be present with the three brothers of the Li family, sign and draw to avoid future disputes." ”

The old family sneered and said, "Why should this son be like this? The master of my family is a big house, and he should inherit this Feng'en General's Mansion, and the remaining two have nothing to do with this matter. ”

Where is Li Weijian willing to believe? This kind of clan scoundrel is the most difficult, and I don't know how many rich people who come and go to Beijing have fallen into the way. He, Li Weijian, didn't have the time to talk to the children of the clan.

Seeing that Li Weijian should not, the old family only said that they would wait for the master to be clear, and Li Weijian immediately led the Ding brothers away. After getting into the carriage, the two brothers glanced at each other, and Ding Rufeng said: "Childe has good eyesight, although our brother heard it yesterday, he is not as clear as Childe." ”

These two people wanted to be smart afterwards, but they didn't want to, they didn't use the two brothers to break it, and Li Weijian himself saw through the mystery.

Li Weijian looked at the two of them with a smile: "In the future, you will just say such things, how to make up your mind, is my own business." ”

The two brothers had no choice but to respond, knowing that Li Weijian couldn't rub sand in his eyes, and he didn't dare to show off his cleverness when he waited in the future.

The carriage went round the inner city and went to see two other houses. They are all the size of two entrances, and there is no garden, and it is not much bigger than the small courtyard where Li Weijian lives now.

This year, you have to touch it when you buy a house, and you may encounter it at some point. And if Chen Hongmou wants to change the law, he must first clear the officials, and after a while, there will definitely be a change of officials, and there will be more choices at that time.

Li Weijian was not in a hurry, and immediately ordered the two to rush to the ten alleys west of Laojuntang. This place is just a house for ordinary households, with a price of 1,200 taels, and across the street is Yan's house. Li Weijian thought that the price was good, and yesterday he simply asked the Ding brothers to buy it on his behalf.

Halfway through the car, Li Weijian found a restaurant and asked for a few kinds of wine and food, and stopped in the alley before noon. I got out of the car with a food box, and when I looked up, I saw that the lock on the door had really fallen. With a slight itch in his heart, Li Weijian immediately sent the two brothers of the Ding family to stay here, and stepped forward to knock on the door with a food box.

After a while, a female voice came from inside the door: "Who?" ”

"Oh, me."

The deadbolt fell, the door opened, and sure enough, Si Qi's face was revealed.

"Fourth Master." Si Qi called softly, caught a glimpse of the Ding brothers in the carriage, and then stopped talking.

Li Weijian shook the food box in his hand with a smile and said, "Hungry, right?" Let's use some together. ”

"Huh."

She answered, took the food box, and led Li Weijian inside.

This courtyard is only one entry, the southwest door opens, the south side is three inverted seats, the entrance is the shadow wall, the hanging flower door, and the hanging flower door is the instrument door. There are two rooms in the east and west compartments, and three rooms in the main house have ear rooms on both sides.

Yesterday, the Ding brothers said that the main house here is clean, but there is a lack of some belongings. I don't know the place next to it, but Li Weijian knew that Si Qi must have swept it here when he entered. The hall is spotless, and there is an extra futon on the kang head of the east house.

The tables and chairs in the house had long since been removed by the main family, leaving only a tattered wooden box and two stools. Li Weijian didn't dislike it, moved the box with Si Qi, spread out the food box, and then opened his robe and sat down.

Four kinds of wine and food, the picture is fast, and Li Weijian is not a little complicated. Si Qi stood aside, and Xiao Yi poured the wine.

Li Weijian raised his eyes and glanced at it, and said with a smile: "There are no outsiders here, you can also sit down and eat some with me." ”

Si Qi's face was ruddy, and he probably remembered the charm in the wing room that day, red like a peach about to pour honey. Hearing this, he responded like a mosquito and a fly, and carefully sat down beside Li Weijian.

Pouring wine and vegetables, silent, the two of them are opposite, but this chess game has lost the coolness in Su Ri. Li Weijian ate for a while, then cried and laughed: "You used to be the most bold, why are you timidity now?" ”

Si Qi hung his head and peeked at Li Weijian, and said: "I, I know that I almost hurt the fourth master, and the fourth master wants to beat or punish him, just the same...... The fourth master can't ignore me in the future. ”

Li Weijian said: "When did I say that I didn't care about you?" If I really don't care about you, will I buy this house to settle you? ”

Hearing him say this, Si Qi said aggrievedly: "Fourth master...... Do you want to take me as an outer room? ”

Li Weijian was stunned, and then said: "You serve the second girl first, if the second girl can marry, you will come with you, and you will always give you a name; If the second girl can't get married, then I'll think of asking you to come over. ”

When Si Qi heard this, he showed his face, but said in his mouth: "The fourth master can't coax me...... I, I have given everything to the fourth master, and I can't get married in the future, so I can only be a sister-in-law. ”

Li Weijian laughed and said: "Which temple dares to accept you as a sister-in-law, I will ask someone to demolish it." ”

Si Qi's heart suddenly ironed, his eyes were full of friendship, and he was serving more and more eagerly. Li Weijian asked her to eat together again, Si Qi was no longer restrained, he ate generously, and drank a few glasses of wine with Li Weijian.

Li Weijian talked to Si Qi for a while, and then learned that Si Qi's parents were not in Rongguo's mansion, but found a stonemason's job outside, and his life was not good. She has many brothers in her family, and she can't open the pot, so a few years ago, she asked Wang Shanbao's family and Qin Xian's family to follow Wang Xifeng's path, and then she entered Rongguofu to be a big maid to welcome spring.

After talking for a while, Li Weijian had a sketch of the chess in front of him in his heart. She was only sixteen years old, and it was the time for the girl to think of spring. Speaking and doing things plainly, he looks cool, and he is tall and plump, as if he has a short temper, but in fact he is just impulsive, and he has some love brains.

If Li Weijian has any friendship with Si Qi, it is a bit too much, and it can only be said that we will look at it later.

But Si Qi couldn't hide his thoughts, Li Weijian said a few words, and then said his thoughts. But she was born tall and plump, and seeing Li Weijian's side Qingwen and Xiangling competing for beauty one by one, she felt that she couldn't compare, and she was anxious, so she was eager for quick success.

Hearing this, Li Weijian drank all the wine in the cup, and seeing that Si Qi's face was becoming more and more delicate, he got up and pulled Si Qi to the east house: "Eat and drink enough, now let's settle the account you owe!" ”

Rustling, just a moment, the tent is a silver hook, and the red wave is turned.

There are words as evidence: the gentle township is in good spirits, and the mood is strange before the slender wind.

This chess meeting opponent and will meet a good talent, when the wind and rain subside, Li Weijian pulled a sweat towel to wipe the sweat beads on his face, but the chess seemed to be out of breath, and it took a long time to pour his breath.

She was born white, but now she is white and red, and she looks more and more lovely.

Strange to stop his body, he was entangled like an octopus, and snorted: "Fourth master, I seem to be dying just now." ”

Li Weijian covered his waist and didn't speak, he was a teenager. Helplessly, he opened this opening by chance, and under the knowledge of the marrow, he Li Weijian is not a saint, thinking that it would be good for Si Qi to get one or two days of rest every month, so he indulged a little more today.

After talking about private things for a while, now Si Qi has no worries in his heart, and he only thinks about Li Weijian. Li Weijian took this opportunity to say: "The eldest lord and eldest lady are greedy and despicable, if they know about you and me, I am afraid that they will be threatened by this in the future." If you serve the second girl carefully, I will find a way for you to marry together. ”

Si Qi said: "The fourth master doesn't know, the second girl has a soft temperament, and she is a dead person who is panting. Sometimes she stands out for her, but she stays out of the way, looks like she doesn't care about everything, and she is really angry. ”

"Isn't this a good character? It's better than the second sister-in-law...... Thinking about that Ping'er girl, she has been a maid for a few years, and there is no way to say it until now. ”

Si Qi thought for a while, and sure enough, he immediately said: "Then I will follow the instructions of the fourth master and take care of the second girl." ”

"Oh, you know you're a smart one."

It was slightly lingering, and when it was night, Li Weijian didn't dare to delay any longer, dressed neatly, and said goodbye to Si Qiyi, so he returned to Rongguo Mansion in a carriage.

returned the carriage and sent the two Ding brothers to disperse, Li Weijian just walked past the hall and bumped into Wu Haiping, who was smiling.

Li Weijian frowned, stopped and said, "You can stop laughing, just say something directly." ”

"Eh, Childe, Miss Qianxue wants to invite you to have a drink tomorrow."

"Hmm." Li Weijian answered, laughing and speechless.

Wu Haiping said: "I came to thank the son for asking for the deed, so as to avoid worries; Secondly...... Hey. ”

Wu Haiping smiled and scratched his head, and Li Weijian knew in his heart that this was to ask himself to be a witness. Well, let's go and take a look.

He said, "Okay, let's be noon tomorrow." ”

Wu Haiping smiled and didn't say anything, and said before leaving: "That's accurate, I'll wait in front of the door tomorrow." ”

Li Weijian waved his hand, and Wu Haiping went happily. He moved forward again, turned the mezzanine, bypassed the east courtyard, and soon arrived in the small courtyard in the northeast.

Hongyu Yingying came out and followed Li Weijian all the way into the main room. At this time, the sky is getting dark, and the hours have passed, but Li Weijian is only obsessed, and this time his stomach is empty.

After changing his coat and cleaning his hands, Li Weijian took a seat and sent some silver money to the kitchen to order some food. Hongyu left in response, and Qingwen came over to pour tea with a teapot, only to sniff it slightly and feel that something was wrong.

She was suspicious in her heart, and peeked at Li Weijian, but just caught a glimpse of the new scratches on the back of Li Weijian's neck. The little girl was not a broad-minded person, and after thinking about it for a while, she felt that the smell of fat powder was very familiar, and she immediately decided that Li Weijian must have gone to the outside world to find a fox and a girl.

So he hung his face in an instant, poured tea with a pouted mouth, and turned his head to leave without saying a word.

Li Weijian was overworked, and his expression was so sad that he really didn't care about Qingwen's face. only stretched his body lazily, drank tea for a while, and said a few words to Xiu Ying, and when Hongyu came back with the food box, he devoured it.

Today, it was Xiangling's turn to be on duty for the night, and when she stayed on the shift, Qingwen, Hongyu, and Xiuying retired early, leaving only Xiangling to stay in the room to serve.

Li Weijian hurriedly washed up, then rolled up the quilt and fell asleep.

At the same time, Qingwen in the west chamber was lying on the kang but couldn't fall asleep over and over.

The thrifty fourth master treats people leniently and kindly, who doesn't praise it when it comes to this house? Originally, he was a person who took pity on his body, and he always endured it when he knew that he was young. Hates that Dongfu, it's not because Dongfu did such a shameless thing, where would the thrifty fourth master be so good?

The more she thought about it, the more annoyed she became, and Qingwen scolded the east cross courtyard up and down in her heart, even the pug raised by the old man and the concubine - Su Ri pounced when she saw the good-looking girl, and she was also a perverted dog!

The more annoyed I am, the more I can't sleep. Qingwen thought that she had to persuade the fourth master to return to the right path. It is the taste of the marrow...... With so many girls around, which one is not better than the fox outside?

Thinking of this, Qingwen got up and said, "Hongyu, have you slept?" ”

"Huh?" Hongyu was about to fall asleep when she heard the words.

Qingwen stumbled to the ground, put the candlestick on the table, turned her head and said to Hongyu solemnly: "Fourth master...... Today, I went to look for the fox again. ”

"Huh?"

Hongyu was shocked, but in fact, her mind was even finer than Qingwen's, so how could she not notice it?

Qingwen sat on the kang and said: "It's just like this once or twice, it's just a steal, but if you sleep like this for a long time, it's not a reason." Turning her head to see Xiu Ying shrinking in the quilt and blinking her eyes to look at the future, Qingwen lifted the quilt and said angrily: "You don't want to sleep, the fourth master is going to be hooked up by the fox, where can you still sleep?" ”
