Chapter 445 The Zhou Family Visits
Mrs. Li has always been shrewd, and she is also good at bargaining. Together with Zhou Hanju and Mrs. Jiang, they dragged the man in the real estate and muttered for a long time, but the man was finally tortured by Mrs. Li, so he shook his head with a wry smile. Said: "Old An, you are the best bargaining expert I have ever seen, and I have convinced you today. I will ask the owner again, and it will only be 800 taels, plus this whole set of furniture. There is nothing I can do if I am low, I can only take you to look elsewhere."

Mrs. Li knew that this was almost the bottom line, so she made a decision, "Okay, just follow the price you said, and we will go to the Yamen to make a contract and pay the money tomorrow."

As soon as Mrs. Li finalized the sale of the house, everyone in the Li family was overjoyed. Zhou Hanyu said in admiration: "My wife is really amazing. I thought it would cost 100 taels to buy this furniture. How could I think of my in-laws?" The wife just said it and gave it to nothing."

Li Meier admired her grandmother's bargaining skills very much, and she said to Yourong: "Grandmother has always been good at this. When I used to buy vegetables in my hometown, even the lowest price, her old man had to buy some onions and garlic. Anyway, it’s never a disadvantage.”

Satisfied, Mrs. Li patted her granddaughter on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, when you get married, I will definitely pass on this unique skill to you."

Li Meier immediately flattered her and said: "Don't worry, grandma, I will definitely study hard, learn all your true teachings, and strive to be better than blue.

Mrs. Jiang saw the grandparents and grandchildren playing there again, smiled helplessly, and asked Zhou Hanyu who was at the side: "This house is bought, but it's just going to be winter, I don't know where we should go to buy charcoal?" The winter in this capital is still very cold, and the cold method is different from that in the south. It is absolutely impossible not to burn charcoal in this house.

Zhou Hanyu smiled: "Sister, don't worry, the family has already prepared charcoal, and it is enough for me to distribute three thousand catties to my sister's house." Zhou Hanyu has always been generous, and she is willing to pay for the money that the Li family bought a house. , let alone the three thousand catties of charcoal.

Mrs. Jiang didn't want to take advantage of her younger brother's family, so she hurriedly said: "Where do you need to pay, I can just buy it here. You can keep your charcoal for yourself."

"My sister is out of touch with us now. They are all relatives of my own family. Why should I divide them so clearly? Besides, those charcoals are worthless. I bought more on purpose, so as to save my sister from buying later. "Zhou Hanyu pretended to be displeased and said.

Jiang Shi didn't say anything, and thanked Zhou Hanju for his kindness.

When the group returned to Jiang's house after seeing the house, they knew that Zhou's family had arrived.

Zhou Hanyu was also very happy to hear that her natal family had come, and led the Li family to meet her.

Zhou's family has been in the capital for more than a year. Zhou Muyi's inner treasury has done a good job, and the imperial court has specially allocated a house for him. The house is relatively close to the imperial city, and the location is better than that of the Jiang family. It is not as big as the Jiang family, only Sanjin. Yesterday Zhou Hanyu sent a letter saying that the Li family had arrived, and they came here together today.

Mr. Zhou and Mrs. Qin were also very affectionate when they saw Mrs. Li. They thought that when their family came to the capital, they were like this. Thanks to the help of their daughter and son-in-law, they were able to settle down quickly. Now that they have met Mrs. Li , it has something to say.

"If you need any help from us, feel free to speak up. They are all relatives of your own family, so don't let anyone else see you." Mrs. Qin held Mrs. Li's hand and said, she looks more cheerful now than when she was in Zhangshui Town Many people are more mellow than before, and the life in the capital is also very good.

Mrs. Li was also happy, and replied with a smile: "Everything has been arranged for us by my in-laws. No, I went to see the house just now. After paying the money and signing the lease, our family will move there, and it can be regarded as settled down." .”

Master Zhou heard that he bought a house so quickly, and complained to his daughter, "Why are you so anxious to move? You should wait until next year. It's cold and there are so many things to do. Your house is big, so it's not Can't stay."

Mrs. Jiang immediately smoothed things over and said, "We discussed the move. After all, my brother's house is often visited by people. After all, it is not as quiet as the new house. Anyway, it is only a few steps away. It is very cheap for us to come here."

The elders of the Zhou family thought about it too, so they didn't say anything else.

The elders of the two parents said a few polite words, and Zhou Muyi and Li Yuanchun came over to greet Mrs. Li and Li Yan. Mrs. Li looked at her slightly swollen belly, and asked with a smile: "It's been a few months, is there a doctor?" Is it male or female?"

Li Yuanchun's pretty face flushed, and before he could reply, Zhou Muyi took the lead and said, "It's been five months, and the doctor said it was a boy."

"Boy is good, boy is good. I said that sister Chun is a lucky one. Isn't that right? The first child is a boy." Mrs. Li said cheerfully. Prosper like.

"I wish it was a girl, I like girls." Zhou Muyi was also happy, grinning with big white teeth.

"Sir, boy, if you give birth to a girl, my younger sister will also have an older brother." Qin echoed from the side. Naturally, she also hoped that her daughter-in-law would have a son. Although she already had an eldest grandson, who would think that there are too many grandchildren?

"Where's Sister Yuyan, why haven't I seen her?" Li Meier asked Zhou Yuyan after she greeted Zhou's elders. The two had a good relationship when they were in their hometown.

"Yuyan is currently attending a women's school in the capital, and she is currently studying there." Qin replied with a smile.

Li Meier thought that Zhou Yuyan was a few months older than herself, and that she would be graduating next year, so she asked curiously, "Sister Yuyan can still go to girls' school at this moment?"

Zhou Hanyu explained on behalf of his mother: "Girls' families in the capital get engaged relatively late, and there are quite a few who get engaged in the [-]th and [-]th. These [-]th and [-]th are still young girls, and there are many girls of this age in the girls' school. If you are interested, you can also go to the women's school to study for a year or two. The women's school in the capital learns a lot, not only piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also the four books and five classics, and even horse riding and Cuju. It is very interesting. .”

Li Meier was a little moved when she heard it. She has never ridden a horse when she grows up, but thinking about it, this kind of girls' school should not be easy to get into. The girls who can go to study in it are basically women from official families. It's not too easy to get in, and she is always the person who is most afraid of trouble. Although she was tempted, she gave up after thinking about it, "Auntie, let me forget it. I'm just a little learned, and it's not easy to enter a women's school." It's shameful, I'd better stay at home and help my mother take care of the house."
