Suddenly, Xiang Nan returned to school.
"Yan Xi, you went to the doctor yesterday. What disease did you diagnose? Could it be that you were injured last time and haven't recovered yet?" Leng Qingqiu asked with concern.
"The doctor said that my heart and veins are damaged. Once I get too excited, my blood will flow backwards and I will vomit blood." Xiang Nan lied, "But don't worry, I'm taking medicine now to recover. I'll be fine."
"It's all because of me. I caused you trouble. I shouldn't have lost my temper at you yesterday." Leng Qingqiu's eyes suddenly turned red when he heard what he said, and he choked with sobs.
Although she didn't know much, she also knew how difficult it was to treat hematemesis.
If Xiang Nan hadn't protected her that day, how could he have been beaten so badly that his heart was damaged. She didn't hit Xiang Nan yesterday, and it wouldn't have caused his old problem. She really owed him a lot.
"Don't say that. Life and death are destiny, wealth is in heaven." Xiang Nan comforted her, "Please don't cry. I'm also sad to see you cry."
"Okay, okay, I won't cry, nothing will happen to you." Seeing this, Leng Qingqiu quickly wiped his tears.
"Well, let me tell you good news." Xiang Nan added, "I'm going to rent a secluded courtyard near your home. It will be much more convenient for you and me to meet then."
"I hate it. People are still worried about your health, but you always think about these obscene things." Leng Qingqiu blushed and spat.
"How can it be obscene? Confucius said that food and sex are the nature of food. It is human nature to be lustful and admire Shaoai." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "Besides, I just want to see you more. It's all out of a sincere heart." Pure heart.”
"That's all, I wrongly blamed you again." Leng Qingqiu pursed his lips and smiled, "But don't get too close. Otherwise, it will be embarrassing if the neighbors see you."
"That makes sense, but I forgot about it." Xiang Nan nodded, "She is a girl after all, and she is careful after all."
…
Two days later, Jin Rong rented a small courtyard in Yangjiao Hutong, two miles away from Luohua Hutong.
The small courtyard is not big, but it has a good layout. There are three main rooms and two side rooms on the left and right. One of the courtyards is planted with flowers and plants. Although the house is an old one, it was renovated last year, so it is still considered new.
The key is that the location is excellent and quiet in the midst of the hustle and bustle. Although it is next to the downtown area, it is not noisy. In this way, Leng Qingqiu's frequent visits would not make him stand out.
After Xiang Nan saw it, he felt very satisfied, so he signed a contract and rented the small courtyard at a monthly rent of fifty yuan.
After leasing, Xiang Nan did not move in immediately, but asked Jin Rong to renovate it. Bricklayers, builders, and painters renovated the inside and outside of the house, and installed electric wires, lights, and telephones...
"This house is already very good, why bother with it?" After the house was rented, Leng Qingqiu came to see it and saw that Xiang Nan still wanted to decorate it, so he couldn't help but said with a smile.
"There is a saying in ancient books that the golden house hides the beauty. I am not as capable as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. I can't build the golden house, so I can only try my best to tidy up this small courtyard." Xiang Nan said with a smile.
"Humph, you really treat me as an outsider." Seeing what he said, Leng Qingqiu couldn't help but sigh.
The status of an auxiliary wife is lower than that of a concubine, and a concubine has the lowest status compared to the head wife, but she still has a reputation. However, the outer chamber does not even have a title and is not recognized at all.
"It's just a temporary expedient." Seeing this, Xiang Nan quickly comforted her and said, "If I didn't want to be responsible for you, why would I have to put in so much effort? Renting a house, decorating, furnishing... nothing costs money. energy."
Leng Qingqiu just heard what he said.
…
A week later, the house decoration was completed.
The roof tiles have been re-paved, the courtyard floor tiles have been renovated, and the three main rooms and two side rooms have all been freshly painted, making the lake look bright.
The house is furnished with exquisite woodware, antique calligraphy and paintings, and is very elegant. It's a pity that it's almost winter and the flowers and trees are withered, otherwise it would be a little more exquisite.
"Master Qi, do you think this is okay?" Jin Rong asked Xiang Nan with a smile.
"It's okay, barely usable." Xiang Nan nodded.
"Your requirements are really high. If a house like this is acceptable, our house will be a thatched house." Leng Qingqiu said with a smile.
"The mountains are not high, but immortals are famous. The water is not deep, but dragons are spiritual. This is a humble house, but it is virtuous." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Although your house is simple, it makes a big difference with you. "
Seeing him say this, Leng Qingqiu pursed his lips and smiled.
"Okay, Jin Rong, Qingqiu will be the seventh young lady from now on." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "When you see her, you are the same as when you see me. You must be respectful."
"Yes, the seventh young master and the seventh young mistress." Jin Rong immediately smiled.
When Leng Qingqiu heard this, he couldn't help but blush.
"By the way, Seventh Young Master and Seventh Young Mistress, do you want two servants to serve this house?" Jin Rong asked again.
"No, we only come here occasionally." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "You don't need anyone to wait on you all the time."
The reason why he wanted to rent a house was because of the need for confidentiality. If we hire more servants, wouldn't it be unnecessary? After all, there is no airtight wall in the world. The fewer people know, the harder it is to leak the secret.
"Yes, Young Master Seven." Jin Rong nodded.
…
After a period of time, this small courtyard became a date place for Xiang Nan and Leng Qingqiu.
The two would agree on a time at school, and then go to the small courtyard together for a tryst.
Because Leng Qingqiu is now a college student, the time after school is not fixed every day, so it doesn't matter if he goes back an hour earlier or later.
As for Xiang Nan, time is more free.
For a young master like him, being able to go home every night is already very good.
It was common for people like Jin Fengju, Jin Pengzhen, Meng Jizu, Wang Youchun and others not to go home to sleep for several days or weeks.
"The New Year's Eve is coming soon, take these five hundred oceans." Xiang Nan handed the five packages of cash to Leng Qingqiu and said.
It is already the twelfth lunar month and the first lunar month is coming soon. Xiang Nan knew that Leng Qingqiu's family was poor and the new year was not going well, so he went out of his way to help.
"What are you doing, are you really treating me like an outsider?" Leng Qingqiu said with a straight face when he saw this.
Although she and Xiang Nan are secretive, they are still in love. Since it was a love affair, she couldn't accept Xiang Nan's money. Otherwise, you will really become the girl in the alley.
"Don't get me wrong, my money is your money, why do you need to tell me so clearly?" Xiang Nan said.
"That's not okay, there's no reason to charge you money." Leng Qingqiu still refused.
Seeing this, Xiang Nan didn't say anything more, "In that case, it's better to teach him how to fish than to teach him how to fish. I'll teach you how to write and make money with your own talents. You won't refuse again, right?"
Seeing what he said, Leng Qingqiu thought about it carefully and nodded.
She didn't want to spend Xiang Nan's money for no reason, but making money on her own was different.
