Lin Yuanqiu nodded in agreement, and finally found a place to stay at the Yunlai Inn not far from the pier. He and Zhou Zixu had stayed in this inn before, so there was definitely no problem in terms of safety.
When going out, your own safety is naturally the first thing to consider. Although it is convenient to travel here at the pier, it is a mixed bag. You will definitely not go wrong if you pay more attention.
When it comes to safety, living in the inn is actually the best choice. However, it is still quite far away from the inn, and there is a big family like myself. If I go to the inn, I am afraid that there will not be so many rooms available. he.
Thinking that they would have to get up early tomorrow, after dinner, everyone went back to their rooms to prepare for rest. After being on the ship for so many days, I still feel like I haven't had a good night's sleep, so everyone's thoughts at this moment are that they must sleep comfortably in the big bed tonight.
But as soon as I think about it, tomorrow I will be able to live in the spacious house that I have imagined hundreds of times. I am afraid that not many people can sleep tonight, except for the little baby next to me, who is snoring and sleeping soundly.
So, when everyone went downstairs for breakfast the next day, almost everyone had dark circles under their eyes.
Lin Sanzhu first led his eldest and second brothers, as well as Lin Yuanfeng and others, to the car dealership to hire carriages, so that there would be more people hiring carriages later and he would not be able to hire so many carriages and horses at the same time.
There are already squatters who make a living by carrying luggage for others squatting in front of the inn. As long as you shout, seven or eight people will come running over immediately. Maybe I have done such a job before, so every time at this time, As long as they don't charge wages randomly, Lin Sanzhu will never have time to bargain with these coolies.
After the boxes and cages were loaded on the car, the family got on the carriage to the capital.
Compared to Wanqing and the others, Mo Sheng, Mo Chen, and Wan Yu were much younger. At this moment, the three of them were still sleeping in their mother's arms.
Tongzhou is only more than forty miles away from the capital, so just after Chen Shi, the group arrived in the capital.
When the carriage entered the city, all kinds of cries could be heard incessantly. Looking at Wu and the others, they had already opened the curtains and couldn't help but take in the lively scene in the city.
Obviously these carriage drivers were used to coming to the capital and were no strangers to this place. After hearing the specific location reported by their employer, they quickly drove their carriage to Nanluogu Lane.
When everyone got off the carriage, they were immediately attracted by the red lacquer door, as well as the exquisitely carved lintel and door frame.
This, this, is so pretty.
The porter, Lao Zhangtou, has been paying attention to the outside of the courtyard gate these days. So after hearing the sound of horse hooves outside the wall, he immediately opened the corner door and poked his head out. Seeing so many people standing outside the door, Lao Zhangtou first said He was stunned, and soon he saw that the young master was among them, so it was the old master and the others who were coming.
Lao Zhangtou hurried forward to greet him, bowed and said, "I would like to say hello to the old man, the old lady, and the old ladies!"
It was the first time that someone of similar age to them saluted respectfully. Lao Lintou and Wu were somewhat unaccustomed to it, as were Lin Dazhu and others.
But everyone knew that this was a rule, so they didn’t wave their hands and say no.
Several coachmen helped unload the luggage from the car, then collected the fare from Lin Sanzhu and drove away.
Lin Yuanfeng and the others who wanted to enter the house to see what was going on didn't waste any time. After rolling up their sleeves, they lifted up the boxes and cages and moved them into the yard.
Old Zhangtou hurriedly ran to open the middle door. This was the first time for the old man and his wife to enter the house, so it was necessary to open the door to greet them.
Lin Sanzhu nodded secretly and agreed with Lao Zhangtou's approach.
And here, Lin Yuanbai and Lin Yuanhuai walked quickly into the yard carrying boxes and cages. The first thing they saw was a large screen wall engraved with Ruyi patterns. The two of them did not stop. After turning around the screen wall, they felt that their eyes could not see clearly. They recalled the picture of the house in their minds, so this should be the front yard. There were only three main rooms. There are ear rooms on both sides, and then there are two wing rooms in the east and west.
Look at the carved doors and windows, the corridors under the eaves, and the small flowerbed next to the eaves. There are many unknown flowers planted in the flowerbed, red, pink, purple and white, which are really beautiful.
"Third brother, let's lift up faster." The beautiful scenery in front of him made Lin Yuanbai eager to see what his little dean was like.
As for the location of the courtyard, Lin Yuanbai had seen the pictures of the house drawn by his fifth brother countless times, and naturally he clearly remembered that his own courtyard was the west courtyard of the third courtyard.
The two of them grew up together as expected. Lin Yuanhuai quickly understood what his fourth brother meant. He also wanted to see his own Dongkua Courtyard, so the two cousins hit it off and quickly ran away carrying the big box cage. As fast as flying.
Lin Yuanfeng and Lin Yuansong followed closely behind. The third and fourth brothers started running before they knew how to behave, but they heard the surprise sounds of children coming from behind:
"Wow, eldest sister, our new home is so beautiful!"
This is Lin Moxuan's voice.
Then came Lin Wanying's, "Sister, these flowers are so beautiful!"
And Lin Mohao said, "Look, there are little red fishes in this tank!"
Lin Wanxue, who stood on tiptoes and was no higher than the water tank, was a little anxious, "Xue'er wants to see, Xue'er wants to see the little fish."
Mrs. Zhou and her two sisters-in-law were busy watching the fish. After hearing her little granddaughter’s cry, they hurriedly ran over to comfort her, “Come, come, let me hold my dear daughter and watch the fish!”
Here, Lin Sanzhu led Wu and Lao Lintou, who were all happy, towards the Chaoshou Gallery.
"Father, mother, my son will show you where you live."
Chaohui Hall is in the second courtyard. It has three main rooms and adjacent side rooms on both sides. Moreover, the word "Chaohui Hall" was specially named by Lin Yuanqiu. "Chaohui" means both merit and virtue, and it has a very good meaning in it.
Wang Wenchang had just heard from his wife about the big house not long ago. He originally thought that it would only be a three-in-one courtyard, but he didn't expect it to be so big.
…
Chapter 156 New Home
After hearing their uncle say that this beautiful fish is called a goldfish, Lin Wanqing and Lin Wanying, who had been swirling around the flowers, hurriedly gathered around the fish tank.
Including the three little ones who were still not very steady in walking, they all walked staggeringly towards the fish tank with their short legs.
Seeing this, Gao Cui, Qin Hehua, and Zhou quickly picked them up and walked to the fish tank so that they could see the fish in the tank.
When Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Feng heard the word "goldfish", they couldn't help but look again and again in the big pottery jar. They saw the little fish swimming around for several days, with its golden scales shining brightly. , it is as good as gold. And the big wagging tail behind him is like an unfolded folding fan, which is very beautiful.
Raising these goldfish was actually a suggestion given by a few masons, the ones who helped repair the house.
These people often help repair or build houses for wealthy families, and have seen a lot of the world. So when they saw a large porcelain tank in the front yard, they immediately gave advice on raising goldfish.
Several masons also taught Lin Yuanqiu what they heard from the Feng Shui master, "Goldfish symbolizes a house full of gold and jade, and it means having more than one year after year. The young master should have a few fish in his huge courtyard." "
In fact, Lin Yuanqiu, who was already familiar with the "Book of Changes", naturally knew some Feng Shui.
It is said that fish brings wealth and water brings good fortune to a house.
When Lin Yuanqiu saw this large porcelain tank, he planned to plant a tank of lotus flowers in the front yard. If he added a few more goldfish to the lotus tank, they would complement each other.
Thinking like this, Lin Yuanqiu adopted the mason's suggestion.
However, goldfish at this time are not cheap. When Lin Yuanqiu asked about the price, he immediately changed his mind after asking for forty taels of silver each. Isn't the grass goldfish of three hundred cents a piece also very good-looking, and compared with the delicate goldfish? , Grass Goldfish was much easier to raise, so Lin Yuanqiu bought six of them in one go.
Although it is just a goldfish, not many people have seen it since it is rarely sold in nearby places.
Take Wang Wenchang, for example. He had only seen it in paintings before, but this was the first time he saw it alive today.
As for the Zhou family, there is even less possibility of seeing it.
So now everyone was surrounding the fish tank and couldn't move away for a moment.
However, this fish watching scene was quickly interrupted by several loud shouts coming from the backyard.
Even Lin Sanzhu, who was walking on the corridor with his parents, was shocked and stopped in his tracks.
Everyone was surprised, what is going on?
Before they could finish their surprise, they heard the sound of "ta-ta-ta-ta" footsteps coming from the corridor from far to near.
Everyone hurriedly walked over to see what was going on, and then they saw two people running over on the veranda one after another, and these two people were Lin Yuanbai and Lin Yuanhuai who had carried their luggage to the backyard.
Lin Yuanhuai was the one running ahead. Although he was still some distance away, everyone could clearly see the way the corners of his mouth raised as he ran.
Old Lintou, Wu, and Lin Sanzhu who were all on the verandah were about to ask what made them so happy when they heard Lin Yuanhuai say with a smile on his face, "Master, grandma, third uncle, my little yard is so beautiful. ,hey-hey."
When they heard that it was because the yard was beautiful that they acted like this, Lao Lintou and Mrs. Wu were amused. This child made them think they saw something in the backyard.
However, how beautiful is this yard to make people so happy?
Thinking of this, Lao Lintou and Wu didn't waste any time and continued walking forward, with more expectations in their hearts for their Chaohui Hall.
Lin Yuanhuai, who ran out of the verandah, saw a group of children surrounding the fish tank, and suddenly remembered the swing he had just seen, and said excitedly, "Wanqing Wanying, Mo Xuan Mo Hao, in the third uncle's yard But there is a big swing, do you want to go over and play?"
Big swing?
Big swing! ! !
"Wow, I want to go, I want to go!" Lin Moxuan, who responded quickly, jumped out first.
Then there was five-year-old Lin Mohao. When the little kid heard that there was a swing to play on, he jumped three feet high with joy, "I want to go too, I want to go too!"
Lin Wanqing and Lin Wanying both stepped forward and said in unison, "Uncle Third, we also want to play on the swings!"
Seeing that her brothers and sisters were all talking about going to play on the swings, Lin Wanxue in Zhou's arms became a little anxious, swaying from side to side and trying to get off the ground.
Mrs. Zhou hurriedly put her on the ground, and then the little girl stood firm, and rushed towards Lin Yuanhuai like a cannonball, "Daddy, daddy, Xue'er also wants to play on the swing!"
Lin Yuanhuai knelt down and picked up his daughter, and said dotingly, "You all can go, Xue'er will play with her brothers and sisters. However, we have to wait for dad and fourth uncle to move in the luggage from outside before we can go. Have a good time?"
"Okay!" The little girl nodded.
The others also nodded repeatedly, indicating that uncles 3 and 4 should hurry up and move their luggage.
Remembering the eyes of the little guys shining when they heard about the swing just now, Lin Yuanbai cleared his throat, and then pretended not to care and said, "Yes, let's go carry the luggage first. There is also a slide in the fourth uncle's yard."
What? Slide! ! !
Upon hearing this, the little ones couldn't wait for their luggage to be loaded before going. They turned around, dragged their mothers, and couldn't wait to go to the backyard.
Lin Yuanbai and Lin Yuanhuai: "..."
At the same time, Lao Lintou and Wu Shi also arrived at their Chaohui Hall under the leadership of their younger son.
This is the second main room into the courtyard. There are three rooms in total, and there are two side rooms at one end and one at the end.
The room at the head of the main house is the bedroom, and the middle is the hall. Seeing the three large round tables in the hall, Old Lintou knew that this should be the place where the whole family would eat in the future.
The one at the west end is the same as the previous one in Xiao Gaoshan Village, with many stools and chairs inside. There is also a tea table, which is a place where family members chat and discuss matters.
Lin Sanzhu opened two large boxes in the bedroom and pointed them to Mrs. Wu, "Mom, the bedding and pillows are all in the boxes."
"By the way, mother, my son will help you take the quilt out to dry it."
As he spoke, Lin Sanzhu took the quilt and pillow out of the wooden box and hung them on the armrest of the verandah. The same went for the two pillows. He first took out the stool and then placed the pillow on the stool.
Although these beddings are all brand new, they have been stored in the box for three or four months, so there will inevitably be some moisture. It is best to cover them after they have been dried in the sun.
Seeing her third son busy inside and outside, Mrs. Wu felt as if she had drank a big bowl of honey water, which made her feel comfortable and comfortable. His third son was so considerate.
Since everyone had looked at the "House Picture" countless times when they were at home, they naturally knew their place well, so now, they just need to move their luggage to their place and start packing happily. .
Isn't it very pleasant? The spacious and bright room has beautiful and sturdy furniture. When I opened the box, I saw that even the bedding was ready-made.
Looking outside the house, there are all kinds of flowers, the ground is paved with patterned square tiles, and there are beautifully carved stone tables and benches in the courtyard. It will definitely be comfortable and comfortable to sit on them and do embroidery work.
The Zhou family members thought to themselves that even if they were given such a good life to be pawned by a god, they would definitely not be willing to exchange it.
Seeing that the house was finally getting lively, Zhang Ma was walking with a rhythm. Just now, the young master said that time was short and the restaurant would send a meal for today's lunch. All she had to do was eat it.
Also, she had just visited the old man, his wife, and his wife. Zhang Ma felt that as long as she worked hard in the future, her life would definitely be good, because her masters were not difficult to get along with.
