Chapter 224

After leisurely showing Yulian the picture album, they both fell in love with a small house in the north. It's not big. It has only four main rooms, but it's full of inverted seats and wing rooms. There's also a small courtyard with a well in it. It's not expensive. It's only two hundred taels of silver. Although it is more expensive than Yulian estimated, the house is located in a good location, close to the side door of Wenhua academy, and only seven or eight miles away from Guozijian and Gongyuan. Moreover, the large pieces of furniture inside are neat and tidy, and people can live in it as soon as they are cleaned up. If you buy it and rent it out, a year's rent alone will be enough for the daily expenses. It's suitable for her to rent a small courtyard with money. There are many people looking at such a good house. Mr. Zhu originally wanted to keep it for his relatives, but after leisurely opening his mouth, he sent it to the Shen family first. Yulian is also decisive. She also knows that such a good house can't be her own without her cousin's face, so she immediately decides to buy it. Although the money in her hand is not enough, she keeps all the lucky money she has given taoliang in recent years. In the first two years, they were handed over by their mother. Each year, they are one or two golden coins. This year, they are two or two, which add up to more than 60 taels of silver. So, together with the deed tax to the government and the tea money to the Yamen clerks, Yulian spent about 220 taels of silver to buy her first house in her life.

It happened to be near Chunwei at that time, so within two days of buying the house, he rented it to Juzi, a foreign student who went to Beijing to take the exam. He got 15 Liang silver for three months. This is also a good time. Generally, the whole house is rented out for only 340 Liang a year. But if you want to catch up with Chunwei, it's cheap. In March, you may not be able to rent such a house even if you spend ten Liang a month.

After renting out the house, Yulian's hands relaxed again. She was just about to move out, just in time for the Empress Dowager's death. If she stays here, she can help to look after Kangtai. Even if there is something wrong with people, she can keep an eye on it secretly so as to tell her cousin. No, the delay is now.

Now listening to leisurely's question, she said with a smile, "I've rented another house. I'm not a stranger, either. It's LiuYe's aunt's house. Her uncle's house is also quite regular. It's the second house left by her ancestors. There are more than ten. Liu Ye's two cousins were young, so the family of four were temporarily crowded into five main rooms. They rented out two small rooms and several wing rooms, so as to save some betrothal gifts for their son. When the girl went back to her aunt's house, she heard that Ju Zi, who used to rent her family's East Cross courtyard, was going to move away, so she asked her aunt to keep the house for her. He took me to see it again. Although it's a big courtyard, it also has a separate gate. It's also suitable for us to close the gate, which is our mother's world. "

Leisurely see jade lotus talk about that house incomparably yearn of appearance, then know cousin in the heart is extremely satisfied. At the moment, he called Liu Ye over and asked him. In addition to Liu Ye's aunt, he also asked the other tenants in the family if they had any problems. Liu Ye said with a smile, "don't worry, madam. Those renters are all students from other places who come to study in Wenhua college. My aunt said they are gentle and polite. In addition to the West Cross courtyard is rented to a Ju Ren with family members, East and West Wing rooms are rented to a few young students from Shandong, they are all relatives. The oldest is only 14 years old, and the youngest is only 11 years old. There is an old coachman and a boy who have been with him for years. They are all quiet and steady. They have lived in their aunt's house for two or three years, and they have not found anything wrong. "

Leisurely smile "listen to you say so is a kind of appropriate place!" Willow leaf smile back "if not appropriate words, maidservant also dare not and aunt grandmother open this mouth." After listening to Liu Ye's words, leisurely also thinks this place is suitable. If you really rent a single family courtyard outside, although she takes care of you, it's hard to rest assured that your cousin and mother are orphans and widows. Now I live in LiuYe's aunt's house, even if I don't speak, the family will take care of my cousin's mother and daughter. I often let the willow leaves to send some things, there is no improper.

Therefore, she said to Yulian, "since my cousin even has a good view of the house, it's up to you." After Yu Lian and you ran had made up their minds, they began to pack up. When she came here, it was just a burden. It was only half a year, and everything had been full.

Leisurely knows that in the past six months, my cousin has been learning to read by herself, and she often asks Shen Xi for advice. Xu was frightened by Niu Niu's illness. He even didn't want to buy a piece of clothes. He spent more than ten Liang to buy two medical books. What she appreciated most in her two lives was this kind of self-supporting and self reliant person. This time, in addition to the ordinary bedding, she was given a box of books and four treasures of her study. Besides the common enlightenment books, there were several thick medical books. In addition to Shennong's herbal classic and qianjinyifang, she has specially prepared four thick medical books, including Huangdi's Internal Classic, treatise on febrile diseases, synopsis of the golden chamber and Nanjing, all of which are annotated by famous experts. Even for beginners, it won't be too difficult. Leisurely now hands generous, these things are nothing to her, but if she can help her sister, she is also happy. Yulian had also read these books in the bookstore, but they were too expensive. A copy of the Yellow Emperor's Canon of internal medicine without notes costs 15 liang of silver. I'm afraid this one with notes is half as expensive! Regardless of money, the friendship of treating her leisurely is very touching. When Yulian's house was finished, leisurely went to see it in person. Liu Ye's uncle's surname is Chen. Because he is the eldest of his brothers, he is called Chen Da. His mother-in-law is also Liu Ye's aunt. Everyone calls him Chen's. Chen's family was small, and the carriage couldn't get in, so the party stopped at the gate. Liu Ye's aunt, Chen everyone, heard that her niece's master had come, so she was busy to welcome her to the gate. In the past, though she had thought about leisurely appearance, words and deeds from her niece's dress, words and deeds. But when I met the real person, I was still impressed by her bearing. Now it's the end of August. She wears a cloud brocade jacket with honey colored embroidered crabapple, a red Pigeon Blood Stone Button on the collar, a pair of green jade bracelets on her hand, a phoenix hairpin with red gold inlaid with pearls on her head, and a pearl as big as a lotus seed just hangs in front of her forehead, which makes her more elegant.
