In a place like Shangjing, every inch of land is expensive, and although this is the plan, Lin Piao is also ready for heavy bleeding in his heart.

After everyone dispersed and rested, Lin Piao asked Shen Hong to stay and talk before asking him what was going on during the day.

"If you want to say that they are just hospitable, the first time you come to invite, you can say that, the second time you come to invite, there is no need to lie, they are the Han family in Beijing, and the steward of the Han family will not be so indiscriminate, in order to show hospitality, they have to deceive people to the house, right?"

"My sister-in-law is right to be worried, and this is also the reason why I refuse to go to the Han Mansion, because Lord Han hopes that we can live in the Han Mansion, which is the hope that the Han Mansion can win two tributes."

When Lin Piao heard him say this, he understood a little, and his mood suddenly became a little complicated.

"Did Han Xiu think the same way?"

"Brother Han didn't keep me, but just let us remember to go to him if we have something."

Lin Piao nodded, feeling a little better.

If you want the Han Mansion to produce two tributes, today's society emphasizes literature over martial arts, and even if Erzhu is admitted, although he is a great figure, in front of a behemoth like the Han family, that is, a material with edges and corners, the two tributes are naturally Shen Hong and Han Xiu.

It's okay to be good friends with the Han family, classmates with Han Xiu, visit the Han family, and have dealings with the Han family, but living in the Han family is another matter.

Having a good relationship with the Han family does not mean that he is a member of the Han family, and if he lives in it, even if he does not have the surname Han, he is basically a member of the Han family.

Lord Han is indeed an old fox, and he wants to maximize his interests when he comes up, but at least Han Xiu respects them and does not rush to turn them into pawns.

"The Han family's attitude is okay, I said no, they just lied and lied, and they didn't want to forcibly take us away, but they still don't want to make things ugly and don't want to turn against you."

Shen Hong nodded: "Fortunately, my sister-in-law is smart, otherwise it would be difficult for us to get out now." ”

Lin Piao breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't expect that he would escape a trouble by lying on the bed with salted fish.

"Then let's say yes first, and I still want tokens in the future, but let's say yes first, what will you give me, so that if there is something, you take the rest, I also know that it is fake."

"Then use the sachet as a token, and my sister-in-law can feel at ease when she gets my sachet."

Lin Piao nodded: "Okay, the matter is clear, you go back and rest." ”

Shen Hong bowed his head and stood up: "I'm next door, my sister-in-law has something to call me." ”

"Okay." Lin Piao thought to himself, how could I call you in the middle of the night, and when you came over, the situation could only be worse.

Shen Hong left and gently closed the door for him, Lin Piao lay on the bed, and couldn't help but think about the fact that Shen Hong liked him.

Although it had only been a few days, he had gone from being shocked and panicked to calm, as if he had absorbed the matter well.

I even had a little doubt in my heart, is this love, it turns out that this is the feeling of being liked, no one has ever treated him so well, as if every look and every action of his eyes is remembered by Shen Hong.

He seems to understand a little bit why he was broken up in the first place, and he can't remember what the other party likes to eat, maybe it is really a taboo in love, maybe what the other party wants is an object like Shen Hong.

Lin Piao sighed lightly, it feels so good to be loved, it seems that nothing is wrong, and everything is right.

It's a pity that this person is Shen Hong.

The child raised by himself, seeing him become like this, Lin Piao really has a very complicated mood, especially in the past few days when he calms down and observes him, sometimes he wants to pat him on the shoulder, child, you are such a good material, you don't want to fall in love, no one can do you in your career, but if you want to me, this thing is not suitable.

Because he went to bed early, Lin Piao got up early the next day and went out shopping with his second aunt, accompanied by Shen Hong Erzhu Shanzi as his followers, and they first started from the vicinity of the inn, and then went to various food shops, ready-to-wear shops, and jade shops.

A place like Shangjing is extraordinary, and there are several luxurious jewelry shops and jade shops that they can browse around at random, and when they go in, they see a dazzling array of valuables, and they especially feel like they have entered a high-end luxury store, and there are quite a few such shops, not only one.

"Auntie, look, this one is so good-looking, this gold wire is so finely drawn and so densely braided."

"Piao'er, look at this jade, how good this jade is, this water head, I have never seen such a good jade, used to make a pendant on the neck, it must be very flattering to you."

"Make a peace buckle, put it on the belt, and wear it for Shen Hong or Erzhu, look at the nobility."

"Then Nacheng, Shen Hong is okay, when the second pillar starts with others, it will be broken in one fell swoop."

They walked around, Shen Hong left first, because the time was almost up, he had to visit the list given to him by the dean, and then it was Erzhu who left, and he also had to visit the officers in the state capital who had written him a letter of recommendation, and in the end only Shanzi was left with his things.

Dressed in a long robe and neatly tied in a bun, Shanzi dressed very energetically, and followed them tirelessly until they had a full hand of things, and then they returned to the inn for lunch.

Chapter 126

The days in Beijing were not much different from those in the state capital, Shen Hong and Erzhu were active outside as usual, and Lin Piao and the second aunt lived in the inn and walked around.

However, the advantage of the prosperous area is that you will not get tired of picking your eyes, and there are new things everywhere.

The second aunt's eyes have been wide for the past two days, and she has never stopped.

"Oops! It's amazing, you just saw the guy who sold wine, didn't there be a brother standing outside? Those eyeballs are scary, how can they be blue-eyed! ”

"Where?" Lin Piao hurriedly turned his head to look, he hadn't seen a half-breed child for a long time.

"He walked in, otherwise I dare to say this, why don't you be afraid at all and still want to see it, what is so beautiful in those blue and clear eyes, in case it takes away your soul."

"My aunt just saw it, why hasn't her soul been snatched away? People just have foreign blood. ”

"How can people have blue eyes, I can't say what kind of goblin has changed, don't look at it, let's go to the front and have a look."

Although Daning and other races have a long history of hatred, the common people have long forgotten those things they have not experienced when they live in peace all year round; apart from being allowed to enter the government, it is a big taboo in officialdom, and there are no restrictions on doing business or marrying in Daning.

Lin Piao thought of Mu Yu for a moment, and he didn't know how he mixed up with his new identity because of the Mu family's collapse, although there was the secret support of the Han family behind him, but he still lost his previous momentum.

As they walked around, after two days of freshness, they began to inquire seriously about the house.

Before, because of the Han family's affairs, Lin Piao knew that this matter looked small, but there were many things that were actually involved, and they had to settle down in Shangjing by themselves.

According to Shen Hong, although the family is beautiful, the emperor is also very jealous of the family, if he and the family are too deeply mixed on the surface, he does not have the power of the family as the foundation, and he has lost the reputation of being born in poverty, neither side can be left behind, and he may not be able to be reused, and then he may only be able to rely on the family and live as a pawn of the family's staff.

Lin Piao also thought carefully about whether to live with Erzhu, lest people think that the two of them had too close a relationship, and finally Lin Piao came to a conclusion.

They don't want to spend two dollars in this place where every inch of land is expensive, and in the end they have to live separately, what about living together in such a place where the land price is high!

Shen Hong did not have any opinion on Lin Piao's decision, so Lin Piao and his second aunt began to look for a rental house in Beijing.

Because they have rented a lot of houses, Lin Piao and her second aunt have enough experience to choose a small yard, and Shangjing also satisfies their pickiness very well.

After all, although the things here are expensive, but the quality is not the same concept as other places, that is, the soft decoration of the tables, chairs and benches, are also full of ingenuity, the flowers planted in the small yard are not ordinary varieties, the orientation is good, the pattern is exquisite.

The only problem is that it is expensive, it is too expensive, so expensive that Lin Piao and the second aunt are secretly calling their mothers in private.

After seeing a small courtyard and coming out, they nodded their heads in approval and complained again and again along the way.

"It's so expensive, it's so expensive, auntie, why are you saying that the small courtyard in Shangjing is so expensive, this small courtyard looks exquisite, and the orientation is good, but it is not as big as the one we live in the state capital, but it is more than ten times more expensive than the small courtyard in the state capital!"

The second aunt was also speechless: "Where is this where ordinary people can stay, seeing this price, is this sleeping in bed?" It's sleeping on gold! Piao'er, or let's stay in the inn, don't transfer such a large amount of money, it's really painful. ”

Lin Piao calculated: "It's not cheap to live in an inn, and after this calculation, it will take several months." ”

"But you calculate, the guest house is cheaper than the hospital, although it is not much cheaper, but the inn has food and drink, and you have less to worry about, you can eat in the morning, and you have hot water all day long, in fact, everything is good." The second aunt sighed as she spoke: "If there is anything bad about it, it is that no matter how convenient the inn is, it is not as good as your own house, the golden nest and the silver nest, not as good as your own kennel, but if we live in it now, it is not a kennel, it is really a golden nest." ”

Lin Piao nodded: "Auntie, the weather is still a little cold now, you think it is convenient for the inn to prepare hot water all day long, but you want the weather to get a little hot, one person lives in a room, stuffy all day, there is no yard to breathe and blow the wind, and it is not good to leave your doors and windows open all day long, Shen Hong and Erzhu want to socialize, if you have friends, it is not good to ask friends to come to the inn, there is a place to live, a little decent, after all, they are now lifting, let's not say how big the pomp is, there should be there or have." ”

Lin Piao thought for a moment in his heart: "Otherwise, let's grit our teeth and rent the yard just now, I think it's pretty good, and the price is the most suitable among all the yards I've seen. The room was so narrow and small that there was nowhere else to put the bed down, and Shen Hong and Erzhu had long legs, and it was estimated that they would have to go straight out of the bed as soon as they stepped their feet, but this was a few spacious rooms. ”

The second aunt nodded her head again and again when she heard him say this, and she knew that she had to spend what she had to spend, but she was distressed when she heard the amount of money.

"It's really amazing to think about it, how dare I think of so much money before, I used to spend money for a penny, but now I have thrown away hundreds of taels and hundreds of taels, and I can count myself as living a good life."

Lin Piao and the second aunt discussed for a while, and finally decided to settle the courtyard with the silver ticket in the afternoon.

The owner of this house has no requirements, it can be rented or bought, but the price of buying is even more astronomical compared to rent, not to mention that although Lin Piao is too expensive, he feels in his heart that if he buys a house, he must buy a bigger one, and the small house and courtyard will not be enough to live in in the future, and it will not be worth it.

When the house was sold, Lin Piao and the second aunt returned to the inn with the good news, and notified Shen Hongerzhu and Shanzi, who had returned in the afternoon, to be in place.

Lin Piao was only responsible for guiding the way, and the men in the family were basically responsible for carrying the luggage and packing things in the back, and the second aunt boiled a pot of hot water in the small kitchen, made a pot of tea, and put it on the table, ready to drink for the whole family.

Lin Piao poured herself a glass, and the second aunt reminded: "The water is just boiling, it's still hot, don't burn your mouth." ”

Lin Piao nodded, held the teacup in the palm of his hand to warm his hands, and after holding the cup for a while, the wall of the cup became hot, Lin Piao put down the teacup, held the hot residual heat in the palm, and admired their yard.

That's great.

It feels good to stay in Uekyo.

It is prosperous here, the materials are abundant, the people from the north and the south, the vegetables from the north and the south, and the materials from all over the world are gathered in this place, the roads are wide, the ground is flat, the service industry is developed, the buildings are classical and beautiful, and the sky is still so blue.

If the price of goods were a little lower, Lin Piao would simply want to live here for the rest of his life.

Shen Hong packed up their cages, put his and his sister-in-law's things into their rooms, and when he came out, he saw Lin Piao leaning comfortably on the back of his chair, looking up at the sky slightly.

Shen Hong glanced at the sky.

"What is my sister-in-law looking at?"

"Look how blue the sky is here."

The economy is developing so well, the environment is still so good, this is simply a place that can be met but not sought, hundreds of years of peace, the concentration of power and money, have shaped this place so beautiful and moving, as if the best in the world is here.

Lin Piao's heart at this moment was completely like entering the city, and he was already addicted to the impact of material things and could not extricate himself, after all, his birth point was put in the countryside, and his initial identity was still a widow with a baby, and this kind of prosperity was completely absent for him.

"I want to live here forever." Lin Piao couldn't help muttering: "But the rent is too expensive." ”

"Sister-in-law likes to go to Beijing?"

Lin Piao looked at him with some surprise: "Don't you like it?" ”

"It's fine."

"What's wrong?"

"There's nothing bad about it, it's just that I don't want to see the scenery."

Lin Piao looked at Shen Hong's side face, looking at his young age, he could actually see the depth of silence from his calm side face, as if the shadows of countless stories crossed his face in an instant, but they did not leave a trace.

"But if my sister-in-law likes it, I like it."

Lin Piao stretched out his hand to hold the teacup that had just been placed aside, and after letting it dry for a while, the temperature was already much better, it was not hot, and it was very ironing in the palm of his hand.

"That's because your eyes look at the things you like, so the tall buildings, the scenery, these can't get into your eyes, these are always just decorations, but the things you like don't make you happy."

Shen Hong said that he didn't like to go to Beijing, but Lin Piao didn't believe it.

Lin Piao likes Shangjing because he likes the prosperity and scenery here, so he is satisfied and happy when he sees the scenery, but what Shen Hong likes is the right to go to Beijing, he sees it, but he hasn't gotten it yet.

Lin Piao can't say that he knows Shen Hong 100%, but he knows that Shen Hong's character is at the root, and power is Shen Hong's blood, otherwise he wouldn't have been so defensive about the Han family from the beginning, the Han family has bad intentions, and Shen Hong is not willing to be a vassal, they are all careerists.

"Shen Hong, don't always look over there, sometimes see if it's okay." Lin Piao's tone softened, and he pointed in the direction of the distance, which was the direction of the Imperial City, and then nodded at the vast blue sky above the courtyard.

Shen Hong was a little surprised, and Lin Piao sometimes looked confused, but unexpectedly could see through the thoughts in his heart.

"Okay."

Lin Piao understands him.
