Chapter 278 Moving into a new home

"You must have a home. From now on, you will follow your great-grandfather, who will live here."

"Then what about mother kissing you?"

"There is our property in Shexian County, and my mother is watching over there, but when it gets cold, I will come back when the Chinese New Year is approaching."

"Huh? Where does mother want to live?"

"That's right, otherwise all of them are snacks, what will mother do to support you?"

"Mother, I will make money when I grow up, and I will hand over all the future salary to mother."

"You can't even support yourself with that little salary. Be an official and serve the people wholeheartedly. Mother will support you behind your back."

"Mother, you are so kind! No wonder Daddy likes and respects Mother so much."

While talking, the old man and the old lady came out, urging them as they walked.

"Let's go, let's go, the old man can't wait, that's a one million tael house."

"Haha, go, go"

The four people got into the carriage and went straight to Huangdao Avenue. After a quarter of an hour, they stopped in front of a magnificent gate, and the four got out of the carriage.

Looking at the door, everyone laughed, "Haha, is it also called Jixiangyuan?"

"Yeah, getting close, it feels like returning to Tianshui Town."

Qiao Mai knocked on the door with his hands behind his back, and someone opened the door from the inside immediately. When the two young servants saw Qiao Mai, they hurriedly bowed down to salute.

"The slave has seen the master."

"Well, my grandparents, and my son will live here in the future, so please be obedient."

"Yes, master"

They quickly saluted the old man, the old lady, and Chuan'er. Qiao Mai helped the old lady, and Chuan'er helped the old man into the room.

The screen wall was replaced by a tall rockery, and the flowing water above it made a very pleasant sound.

The few people walked slowly, and Qiao Mai was introducing.

"The layout in front is similar to our house in Tianshui Town. It is used for hospitality, and the left and right sides are for servants. The kitchen is on the left, and the servant's house is on the right."

"The large families are arranged in this way, which is convenient"

"The courtyard behind us also has a small kitchen. It is convenient to open a small stove. The three Fengquchuan brothers are not young, and each of them has a courtyard. They live in the three courtyards in the east. To the north, it’s convenient to keep me close.”

"It's all under your arrangement,"

"Ling'er lives next to you in the middle house on the west side, and there is an auxiliary courtyard, let's use it as a guest courtyard. When the time comes, the family will come to live, and my husband-in-law and I will still live in the main courtyard."

"This is how it should be, this is your home"

"You two can live together if you want"

The old lady shot Qiao Mai a glance, "I won't go, we are so old, we don't want to be little suns."

The four of them strolled slowly in the garden and looked at their respective yards. They were very satisfied, especially the bathroom.

Now that I am old, I don’t want to use it when I wake up at night. I built a house like this next to their bedroom. It’s very convenient, and it’s also very convenient. It can be washed and washed. The key is that it’s 24 hours a day. They are all on, and they don't need to be supported by anyone, and they don't need to be lit.

Whether you go in for a small solution or a big solution, you feel comfortable when you look at the room, and you can finish it in one rush, which is great.

And they found that since entering the garden, they have never felt damp, let alone mosquito bites, and they feel very refreshed.

Entering the bedroom, there is a kang. Doesn't this mean that living here is also very warm in winter?

Seeing the excited look of the old man and the others, she knew they were satisfied with it.

So they took them to the back garden. When the old lady saw the chicken coop, she hugged Qiao Mai and cried in excitement.

"It's still you, the girl who understands me"

"I just want to find something to do for you, so that our cooks can save some worry. If you get eggs or something, let the kitchen cook them directly, and eat fresh ones every day."

"Don't worry, I promise to feed the chickens and quails to make them fat"

"I have bought all the housekeepers, accountants, and servants in this house. They are caring people. Just come here together when you move. You have everything under the bed. Your room is full of dioramas and full-length mirrors."

"I see, you really have a heart,"

"Playground, martial arts field, this home is better than the one in Tianshui Town. Chuan'er is about to start the exam during the Chinese New Year. Later, I will move your household registration back to the capital. It will be convenient. We have two homes, and we can live wherever we want." If you get tired of living here, go back to live, and if you get tired of living there, we will come back. It’s only ten days away, so let’s relax.”

"Alas, alas"

"Then you rest, I will go back and let the people over there move."

"Thanks for your hard work"

"polite"

On the eighth day of September, all of their family moved here, and the Yuan family got the letter and went straight back to Jixiangyuan at night.

After seeing the whole picture of the whole home, I was stunned.

This house is probably one of the best in the capital. It is too luxurious, too practical, and so nice.

The emperor is clearing up corrupt officials. He lives in such a nice house, so he won’t quote the emperor’s suspicion, right?

The old man saw what was on his mind, so he said, "Don't be nervous, any official in the capital has a property, as long as you don't take bribes, you'll be fine. This is your daughter-in-law's property, not yours, and the emperor doesn't know anything. , and it will be found out as soon as it is checked."

"That's good. I'm afraid that the official will be punished. If he is charged with some crime, his family will be affected."

"Your daughter-in-law is so shrewd and so strong, you put your heart in your stomach."

It happened that the next day Yuan's family got up to take a rest. Brother Fengyun also received the letter, and they all returned to their new home. The family got together again and re-joined the house.

Everyone was amazed. This home is luxurious, warm and peaceful. There is no humidity and no insects and ants. It is really safe to live in.

The old man and the old lady live in Penglai Residence, Linger’s courtyard is called Xianyueju, Feng’er’s is called Tingfengge, Yun’er’s is called Liuyunge, Chuan’s is called Haichuange, a guest courtyard, and the main courtyard. It's called Yuexianju.

The name was all given by Qiao Mai, and they all liked it.

When I happened to come here, I brought two cooks from home, and they stayed in the auspicious residence in the capital.

Manpower is not enough, you can train it yourself.

At noon, we celebrated together from top to bottom, and we warmed the house together.

After all, it’s the south, and there are still vegetables to sell at this time, so it’s fine to set up a greenhouse here.

Anyway, the cook has her recipes, as long as there are ingredients, any kind of dishes can be made, just like in Tianshui Town.

There are two public treasuries at home. With a wave of her hand, the two public treasuries are full.

After warming up the house, the housekeeper took the treasury to check the warehouse. If you don’t check, you don’t know. When you check, you’re shocked. What kind of ginseng, bird’s nest and deer antler are piles of supplements.

Dry seasonings are sold in baskets and baskets, so you don’t need to go outside to buy them. These are enough for a year at home.

Those fresh fruits and vegetables, they want to steal them when they see them.

There are more than a dozen boxes of silver at once, and there are tens of thousands of taels of silver, which cannot be spent in a short period of time.

Qiao Mai also left one hundred thousand taels of silver to Yuan's family, and asked Feng'er how the preparations for the dowry were going.

He said that he had prepared 80 taels, and there was still 40 taels short of preparations. Qiao Mai gave him another 100,000 taels of silver, left 10,000 taels for Yun'er, and Chuan'er left 2,000 taels for the old man and the old man. Ma'am, they don't all say they have money.

All the arrangements at home have been made, and the next step is to get busy with the wedding.

Everyone was free, discussing the marriage, and decided to ask a matchmaker to talk about marriage first, which is the minimum.

The Yuan family took the lead in this matter, and invited three official media to the Zhen Guogong's house to talk about marriage.

Because the two are in free love, the matchmaker and the man have everything, so they have to look decent and finish the marriage according to the procedures.

The old lady gave Feng'er advice, and finally got all the remaining forty levies. This dowry gift is really decent, and it cost a total of 300,000 taels of silver.

This is just a betrothal gift. On the day of the actual door-to-door engagement, Qiao Mai knew that his daughter-in-law likes shiny accessories, so he spent a lot of time choosing a set on the platform.
