Before Sang Nuanyue could ask him carefully what he had experienced this morning, Qingjie had already told him everything in his small mouth.
After talking about her experience, Qing'er sighed with admiration, "Sister, I don't know if my brother-in-law can win the title of Toad Palace this spring, but his knowledge can only be compared to me. I don't know when I can catch up with him." .”
After Qing'er finished speaking, she lowered her head. He was young and didn't understand how high Shen Tinglan's current level was. But when Shen Tinglan solved his doubts, he only needed a few clicks, and he felt enlightened.
Qing'er didn't think it was because of his intelligence, but because of his spirituality in reading. After all, when Shi Xingzhou taught him before, although he could understand it quickly, he was not so relaxed. Therefore, he attributed the credit to Shen Tinglan's ability to train people. He was very skilled and knew the secrets, so he only needed a few taps from him to make him suddenly enlightened.
Qing'er was still wondering when he would become a talent like Shen Tinglan, just like a rookie, but Sang Nianyue said something irrelevant, "In private, you'd better not call him brother-in-law."
"Ah? Why?"
"Because as soon as you call him brother-in-law, I will think of Zhou Baolu. You know, I don't like her."
Qing'er shared the same hatred, "I don't like her either." But he was a little entangled, "But the third master and my cousin are not the same people at all. The third master is a bright and gentle person, friendly and polite to others. He is also knowledgeable and talented, riding and shooting. I am good at everything with bows and horses, and I really like Mr. San’s skills.”
"Then in front of him, you call him brother-in-law, and in front of me you call him third master." Sang Nianyue couldn't say, but when Qing'er called "brother-in-law", she would think of Wang Wenju in a conditioned reflex.
But both Wang Wenju and the Wang family are in the past tense. They can no longer trap her, and she should not continue to miss them.
The two siblings talked for a while and then went back to take a lunch break.
In the afternoon, Sang Nianyue had just stood up to get the tools and prepare to paint, when she saw a little maid delivering a letter.
Who will write to her?
Sang Nuanyue thought of her wet nurse and opened the letter faster.
Su Jin and Su Xin also came over and hurriedly came over to read, "Girl, is this a letter from the nanny?"
Suxin said, "I think it's the wet nurse. When I went to send a message to the wet nurse yesterday, the wet nurse said that she had already started looking for a house. But she didn't know when we would be able to move out, so the wet nurse didn't tell us the news. The wet nurse didn't tell us the news. Two of the houses she was looking for have been sold, and she is not sure about the status of the other two. I am afraid that the wet nurse did not listen to the girl's instructions and went out to inquire early this morning, otherwise the news would not have been received so quickly. "
The facts were indeed as Su Xin said. The wet nurse had indeed found a house. She got up early today and asked Queer and Xiaoyan to support her. The three of them went to find the broker, one foot deep and one foot shallow. Accompanied by the broker, we went to see the two houses together.
After asking about everything, the nanny sent a letter to Sang Nianyue, asking her to take some time to check out the house and buy it as soon as possible if she liked it.
After all, in a few days, as more and more students come to Beijing to take the exam, the price of the house will only become more and more expensive, and it can even increase by a hundred taels of silver in a month. Although they have a lot of money, they are not It was blown by the strong wind, who would want to spend so much money in vain?
Sang Nianyue read the letter and handed it to Su Jin. After thinking for a moment, she said, "We will go to see the house tomorrow."
"But the snow has started to melt today, and the roads are muddy and difficult to navigate. How about the girl not being two days late?"
She wanted to stay overnight for two days, but could the nurse wait?
Yesterday, she specially asked Su Xin to tell the wet nurse that it was snowing and the roads were slippery, so she had to stay indoors. The result is great, the wet nurse went out early this morning to find a broker.
It's so cold in the middle of winter. It's hard to exaggerate how breathless it is. The road is still difficult to walk. Sang Nianyue only thinks about the three nannies and their servants walking hard in the snow nest to find a house for her. Where can she go? Sit still, I really wish I could buy the house right away so that the wet nurse can feel at ease.
The next day, Sang Nuanyue went out early in the morning.
It was also a coincidence that I met Shen Tingjun at the gate who was about to go to the morning court.
Shen Hou was dressed in official uniform, which made him look more majestic and solemn. Maybe he was in a hurry, maybe it was because there were so many people and it was inconvenient to say anything. This time, Shen Hou did not call her "cousin", but nodded slightly to her and took the lead. Got on the carriage.
When Sang Nuanyue and Suxin Sujin also got into their carriage, Suxin whispered, "I heard someone say before that when the Marquis goes to court, he rides a horse for eleven months of the year." I am a civil servant, so he should ride in a carriage, but he doesn't. He just rides a horse every day. For this reason, the censor even wrote a book on this matter." It turned out to be a joke, and His Majesty didn't set off at all after seeing it. Shen Tingjun, Instead, he burst out laughing and boasted that Marquis Shen was indeed the successor to Marquis Wu An and had the style of being an ancestor! From then on, it became a routine for Shenhou to ride to court on horseback, and he would only ride in a carriage when it rained or snowed, or when the ground was slippery and it was inconvenient for horses to run.
It's not easy to see Shen Hou riding a carriage. It's a great spectacle in the capital.
Su Xin whispered, Su Jin listened with great interest, Sang Nuanyue thought of the scene when the man nodded at her, closed her eyes slightly, and tightened the handkerchief in her hand.
It was already an hour after I arrived at the place where the nanny was temporarily renting, and then picked up the nanny and the broker to go to the house that the nanny was looking forward to.
Because Sang Nianyue said before that the first choice of medicine in choosing a house is to facilitate Qing'er's study. The nanny strictly followed her requirements and found four houses. Unfortunately, because the waiting time was too long, two houses have been sold, and now there are many houses left. There are two more schools to choose from.
There is a well-known private school near one of these two houses. This is a three-level house. Every aspect of the house is good, but the price remains high. If the price was just high, maybe the yard would have been sold. After all, there are many rich people in the capital. Speaking of which, there is another very important reason why this yard has never been sold, and that is that three generations of the owners of this yard died tragically. Some people said that this house was unlucky and feared that it might be haunted, so the house was put on hold.
There is no private school near the other house, but the environment near the yard is quiet, and the neighbors nearby are also scholars who have achieved academic status or are working hard to obtain academic status. The house is not big, with only two entrances. Although it is small, it is extremely exquisite. Although the price is high, it is still worth the money.
Sang Nianyue looked at the two houses, and after discussing with Qing'er, decided on the first one.
Although the wet nurse had some taboos in her heart, she was able to recommend this house to her girl in the first place because she didn't really believe in the theory of being haunted.
But my girl really decided on this yard, and the wet nurse felt uneasy, and she was worried, what if it was really haunted? My wife only has these two single seedlings left. The eldest young master has never been seen alive or dead. If she can't even protect the girl and the young master well, then how can she be a wife who is so kind to her in the future?
The wet nurse asked, "Girl, if you want to wait a little longer, maybe you can find a better place?"
"No wait, this room is very good. Regardless of whether there are ghosts in the world, even if there are ghosts, Qing'er and I will never do anything bad in our lives, and we are not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night."
"That's it?"
"It's settled. Nanny, you chose it carefully. You must have inquired about everything clearly. Apart from the high price and being haunted, there is nothing wrong with this house. Just this one, buy it as soon as possible and start repairing it as soon as possible. Qing'er and I It would be better to move out of the Hou Mansion earlier."
When the wet nurse heard this, she immediately stopped worrying about whether it was a ghost or not.
She mustered up her energy and said to her girl, "The owners of this house have all moved away. As long as we go to the Yamen to transfer the ownership, this is ours. Girl, just buy it, and I will repair it later. I guarantee that you will be able to enjoy it before the end of the year." I can move out of the Marquis Mansion."
"There's no rush, just take your time."
Because it was still early, Sang Nianyue didn't want to make a second trip to buy a house, and the broker was also afraid of long nights and dreams. Sang Nianyue and her brother regretted it when they turned back, so they immediately went to the landlord, and they went to the Yamen together. In less than half an hour, the Sang Nianyue siblings came out with a brand new house deed in their hands, with their names written on it. The siblings finally had their own place in the capital.
Regarding the two names being written on the deed, Sang Nianyue initially disagreed and thought it was unnecessary, but Qing'er said that this house was of great significance to them. After that, the sister and brother finally ended their more than ten years of living under someone else's roof. He can finally take charge of his own life. This beginning is particularly meaningful, not only for him, but also for his sister, so it is time to write their names.
After getting the house, the wet nurse's heart started to move again, "Why don't you, girl, move out of the Marquis' Mansion tonight?"
Sang Nianyue thought for a while but shook her head, "I promised the old lady that I would stay there until after the new year." The key is that the owner of this house moved away a long time ago. Although there are old servants cleaning the house, it is still very depressed. When she went in to take a look before, she saw that many tiles were broken, paint patches on the door walls and pillars were peeling off, the room had a musty smell, and there were even signs of vomiting in the corners.
In the back house, the roofs of the two east wing rooms were collapsed by heavy snow and have not been repaired. There are even clothes and bedding left by beggars after they "borrowed" them in the other rooms...
Sang Nuanyue was heartbroken just by looking at such a house. This was her own house, and she had to clean it up thoroughly before she could move in.
She and her brother had been living under someone else's roof for more than ten years. She didn't want to move into a new house one day and start a new life, but she was disappointed because of the messy environment here.
Sang Nuanyue gave the wet nurse a banknote and told her not to work too hard, and that she could hire someone to do some things. In addition, now that we have a place to stay, we can also find some old people from the Sang family to come over.
The wet nurse responded one by one, took Sang Ningyue and Qing'er's hands and said many words.
The Wang family was destroyed overnight, and the nanny never thought that such a good thing would happen.
Thinking back to the time when the girl and the young master suffered in the Wang family, she saw it in front of her and felt anxious in her heart. It's a pity that she was also in the inner house at that time and was severely controlled. I finally went out to deliver a message to the girl, and twice out of three times the letter was sent back by Master Wang.
Later, the young master was moved to the front yard, and she and her aunt were taboo, so they did not dare to make any big moves.
They endured and endured until they left the Wang family, and the girl did not dare to go out until she entered the Marquis' mansion. They originally thought that they would endure until they found the eldest young master, or the young master became famous, and the girl could live in the bright sky yesterday, but they did not want the Wang family to commit suicide. , half of the family died.
The nanny said directly, "It's all retribution. God repays me well."
Su Xin continued, "God has eyes. If he sees them doing evil, he will naturally give them retribution."
"It's not all God's fault. Without the Marquis, this thing wouldn't have gone so smoothly. Moreover, the Marquis also saved the girl. The Marquis's house is very kind to us."
Su Xin: "Yes, yes, we want to repay the favor."
After sending the wet nurse to the rented house, Sang Nianyue and Qing'er got off the carriage and gave her a few words. Seeing that it was getting late, they got on the carriage and hurried back to the Hou Mansion.
On the way, both siblings felt hungry, so Sang Nuanyue decided to stop in front of a restaurant.
There are so many customers here, and you can smell the aroma of food when you walk downstairs. I guess the food tastes very good.
It was a coincidence that it was just after dinner, and two private rooms were vacated upstairs, which was convenient for them to stay.
By the time they fill their bellies, it's not the end.
The siblings were not in a hurry to return home at this time, so they got out of the car and started walking around slowly.
The capital is worthy of being at the feet of the emperor, with wealth and prosperity everywhere.
Although there had just been a heavy snowfall, there were almost no snow stains on the stone slabs on the street. There were only wet traces, showing that there had been remaining snow here.
There are many people walking on the street, including middle-aged people with their parents, old people carrying their children and grandchildren, couples laughing and whispering affectionately, and young masters from Wuling talking loudly and strolling in the courtyard.
The two siblings walked to a pastry shop. Qing'er couldn't move any further, so she tugged on her sister's sleeve. Sang Nuanyue understood her brother's eyes and couldn't help but smile, "Is your stomach a bottomless pit? Didn't you complain that you ate too much just now? Why did you feel hungry again in a short while?"
Qing'er said, "I'm not hungry now. Sister, buy more and I'll save it for you to eat when I'm hungry at night."
"Hey, do you wake up hungry at night?"
Qing'er was even more stunned, "Only two or three times, I still feel cramps in my legs and feet. I don't know if it's because I'm hungry."
It's not that he's hungry, it's that Qing'er is starting to grow taller, but he just doesn't have enough nutrition.
Sang Nuanyue knew what she was doing, so she bought some more pastries, and planned to ask Chun Yu to make more meat later. She would also give Qing'er a meal of chicken soup wontons or beef noodles in the evening. During this time, Qing'er must be well fed. Her father is nearly eight feet tall, and her eldest brother is taller than his father, more than eight feet. The Sang family specializes in tall people, so the younger brother cannot hold back.
After buying pastries and preparing to walk out of the store, the siblings bumped into Shen Tinglan.
Shen Tinglan looked at Qing'er in surprise, and then looked at Sang Nuanyue, "Why are you siblings here?"
The words were spoken neatly, but at this moment his mind was empty.
Those watery peach blossom eyes were exactly as he imagined. Even her face was so familiar to him, as if he had faced such a beautiful face in his previous life and had copied it hundreds or thousands of times.
Add an update, are you surprised? I'm a little tired. I updated 10,000+ today. Forgive me for not having the energy to catch bugs. I'm so hungry and tired. I'm almost paralyzed.
