A hundred flavors of life

Lin Chong's house was originally a small courtyard with one main hall and three rooms. Lin Chong and Zhang Zhenniang lived in the main house, and Jin'er lived with them, but in the outer room of the main house.

In addition, there are two other rooms, one is the guest room and the other is the study room. Lin Daiyu and his party move in, so the living area of ​​this small courtyard is somewhat stretched.

Sister Lin brought her personal maid Xue Yan, a nanny Wang brought by the Lin family, and Zhao Ji from the official family who saw the excitement, and the education nun surnamed Zhang was sent over, and finally Jia Mu saw her there. It didn't work to take Daiyu back, so another girl was sent over.

It was obviously unrealistic for these five people to live in a guest room, so Hua Twelve simply gave up the study room for two nannies to live in. Lin Daiyu lived in the guest room, and the two girls lived outside the guest room to serve nearby.

Although we were accommodated in this way, it seemed a bit crowded.

There was nothing wrong with the others. It was the grandmother Wang who came with the Lin family who said a few unflattering words in front of Hua Twelve and Zhang Zhenniang, and even advised Lin Daiyu to return to her grandmother in Rongguo Mansion.

Grandma Wang was born in the Rongguo Mansion and was the dowry of Lin Daiyu's mother Jia Min. She did not know what happened in Rongqing Hall before. She only knew that the young lady was picked up by this distant relative of the Lin family, which caused her to be taken away by the Rongguo Mansion. When I was sent here, I couldn't enjoy the blessings and had to live together with others. That's why I ended up like this.

Lin Daiyu quickly told Grandma Wang not to talk nonsense, and she was fine now.

But Grandma Wang insisted that she was Lin Daiyu's nanny, so she didn't take her words very seriously. In the name of doing good for her own lady, she persuaded Lin Daiyu to go back to Rongguo Mansion.

Hua Twelve wondered why the servants of wealthy families were so unruly, but he didn't do anything to the nanny. He just raised a finger and said in a calm tone:

"You are the person next to my sister. I think she will tolerate you this time. If there is another time, just leave by yourself. My Lin family can't tolerate you anymore, do you understand?"

When Hua Twelve said this to Grandma Wang, she seemed to lose face and immediately said angrily:

"I am the person next to the madam and the nanny of the young lady. This time I went to Beijing with the young lady to serve her. This is also our master's wish. As a distant relative of the Lin family, what qualifications do you have to drive me away?"

Before Hua Twelve could say anything, Nanny Zhang from the palace came up and said:

"My old lady came to Mr. Lin to take care of Miss Lin's daily life and teach her etiquette. This is the official's intention. Who do you think you are? You dare to question the official's decision and influence Miss Lin's fate?"

What does one thing mean? This is it. Aunt Wang didn't take Lin Chong, a member of the Lin family, seriously, but when she came out of the palace, she was slapped in the mouth, but she even farted. Don't dare to let one go.

Hua Twelve nodded to Aunt Zhang, having a good impression of her, and then said to Aunt Wang:

"I just said that I would only give you one chance. Since you don't cherish it, then pack your things and get out now. Go back to Yangzhou or go to your Rongguo Mansion, it's up to you!"

Lin Daiyu wanted to plead for mercy, but Zhang Zhenniang pulled her over to sit next to her and shook her head.

Everything is going well for the family, but if an old slave dares to be arrogant and make irresponsible remarks in front of his master, what kind of trouble is that?

There must be an explanation for this matter today.

Grandma Wang was a little stupid. She didn't expect Hua Twelve to really drive her away. Without her, she didn't care whether she went back to Yangzhou or Jia's Mansion. Which one could tolerate her?

Seeing that the young lady wanted to ask for mercy but was stopped by the Lin family's grandma, Grandma Wang suddenly got scared and said aggrievedly:

"Brother Chong, for the sake of the young lady I have given birth to, please spare me this time. Don't dare to do it again!"

Hua Twelve said nothing. He picked up the hot tea that Jin'er had just made for him and drank it by himself.

Grandma Wang was about to cry. At this moment, Grandma Zhang, who had just slapped her in the mouth, saluted Hua Twelve:

"Mr. Lin, I think the girls in the family are very spoiled and do not look like they can do menial work. Why don't we just keep her and do menial work!"

Hua Twelve couldn't help but laugh, thinking that this person is bad enough. Grandma Wang has been here for two days, and she has been pampering herself like a half-master, supporting a few girls to do this and that, and made such a fuss, From a nanny to a rough nun.

He held back his laughter and asked Grandma Wang, "You heard me, are you willing to stay and be a rough lady?"

Of course Grandma Wang was unwilling, but if Lin Daiyu didn't leave, she couldn't go anywhere. She would starve to death if she went out, so she could only say reluctantly:

"My slave is willing!"

Seeing her unlucky and depressed look, Hua Twelve felt funny in his heart. This is really a desperate act. Let's see if you can do it this time.

Although the matter has been resolved, the problem of small habitable area is still there.

Hua Twelve discussed with Zhang Zhenniang to buy a larger house.

Zhang Zhenniang suddenly looked embarrassed. Hua Twelve couldn't help but be surprised when he saw this:

"Don't we still have two to three thousand guan at home? Why is my wife so embarrassed?"

Zhang Zhenniang glanced at him angrily, and just as she was thinking about what to say, Aunt Zhang who came out of the palace smoothed things over and said:

"My lord, I am a man who is not a householder. I don't know that firewood and rice are expensive. In Bianliang, Tokyo, every inch of land is precious. How can ordinary people afford to buy a house? Even Sansu had to rent a house in Bianliang back then. Ouyang Xiu even wrote a poem The poem's summary: 'I don't have a house yet, so many scholars think so. My boss wants to move out, but I can still donate the remaining savings.' It can be seen that he also wants to rent a house to live in!"

Only then did Hua Twelve realize that it wasn't that his wife was reluctant to spend money, but that her family didn't have enough money.

He smiled at Aunt Zhang and said, "You know so much and you speak so well. No wonder the official family asked you to teach my girl."

Grandma Zhang smiled and said: "You are too polite, sir. It's just that you have this ancestral courtyard and don't worry about the place to live. It's just that you haven't been exposed to these things. As for the export, it was something that the old woman remembered when she was serving several emperors and concubines to study. This thing is worthless!"

"Sir, this yard of yours can be sold for 20,000 to 30,000 guan. If you want to buy something bigger, I'm afraid it will cost 50,000 to 60,000 guan!"

Hua Twelve has one tooth and five to sixty thousand taels of silver, which is five to sixty thousand taels of silver. I originally thought that Lin Chong must be a rich man if he could spend a thousand taels of silver to buy a sword. But compared with the house prices in Bianliang, Tokyo, It's simply not worth mentioning.

Lin Daiyu said from the side at this time: "Brother, my father asked Mr. Yucun to give fifty thousand taels of silver to my grandmother for my expenses. If you use the money."

Before she could finish her words, Hua Twelve waved his hand:

"Sister, don't say this. What will I do with your money? I will keep the money for your father to reconcile with the Jia family. When you are here, it is natural for your brother to support you and buy a house. You don’t have to worry about money, I have a way!”

The next day, Hua Twelve got off his errands, came out of the palace, and went to the Palace Commander's Mansion to see Gao Qiu.

Gao Qiu was practicing calligraphy in the study. After hearing the report from his subordinates, he asked Hua Twelve to be brought to the study to talk.

The study is in the inner house. Even if there is nothing to do with the worshipers sent by the worship department, they cannot come in without being summoned, so it is very convenient to talk here.

Hua Twelve first felt that no one was eavesdropping around him, and then asked:

"Lord Taiwei, I have been a rank-5 dragon forbidden officer for several days. Is it time for me to be promoted to a higher position? You have to help me realize my wish to lead a battalion alone. ah!"

Gao Qiu was relieved when he heard this and didn't curse: "You have only been on the job for a few days. You have to do it for several months. You have to make some achievements before you can be transferred!"

"Also, the job of leading soldiers is very popular right now. Let alone not having a position, even if there is a position, you can't get it without 50,000 yuan!"

Hua Twelve raised his eyebrows: "If you want me to spend money, what else do I want from you?" What Gao Qiu just said was a cliche. Someone asked him to do something or buy an official position, so he just said that. He said he was used to it. When he realized that the person in front of him was the one who held his life and death in his hands, he couldn't help but smile bitterly:

"Don't dare, if there is a chance, why don't I pay this money for you?" In fact, it only costs him thirty or forty thousand yuan, because part of it was originally filial to him.

Hua Twelve nodded with satisfaction:

"As soon as possible. If you really don't have a position and there are officials with bad conduct, why don't you just find an excuse to do it? You are still a traitor. You can't do this deceiving thing with an upright and kind person like me." !”

Gao Qiu had a dark streak in his head. He thought about the three methods of intimidation in his body, either poison or corpse insects. How dare you say that you are upright and kind? Is that something that upright people play?

However, he could only nod his head at Hua Twelve’s statement, but still said:

"What happened that day has caught the attention of the officials. As long as you find a way to show off, I will be able to speak for you!"

Hua Twelve molded his chin with his hands and began to think:

"How can I have any chance to perform meritorious service in Longjing Lieutenant? Otherwise, if you organize some dead soldiers to attack the palace and assassinate the king, then I can take the opportunity to perform meritorious service!"

"Ancestor, please keep your voice down, otherwise we will both die if others hear it!"

If Gao Qiu hadn't cherished his life, he really wanted to hit his head and die here without being threatened by him. Is that your idea? I feel like I will be played to death sooner or later!

He thought about it and thought of an opportunity: "If it snows during the twelfth lunar month, the official family will take the princes to Tienwang Mountain for winter hunting. Then I will find a way for you to follow. If you show off, I will also be in the official family." I have a few nice words for you in front of you!”

"Is there an Iron Network Mountain near Kaifeng?"

Hua Twelve felt that this world was not the one he was familiar with.

In addition, he calculated that there were still more than two months left, so what else could he show by hunting? How come you can be promoted to an official if you play well?

Seeing that he was puzzled, Gao Qiu explained: "There is a competition every winter hunting. The princes compete with each other, and the military officers also compete. The leader can get a reward from the official. As long as the official likes you, then It’s easy to say anything!”

When Hua Twelve heard this, his eyes lit up, and he immediately knew that this was an opportunity, hunting or something, who else would the leader be?

He then suggested: "I want to decide on the leader. In addition, let's put the icing on the cake and give me another firewood. If there is a dead soldier who assassinates the king while the official is hunting, I will rescue him, right?" Can you still accomplish a great feat? There is no greater merit than saving him!"

Gao Qiu picked up the inkstone on the desk. Just when the twelve Hua people wanted Mantis to serve as an army for this guy and fight against him, he saw the captain of the dynasty and said angrily:

"Hurry up and beat me to death with this. Instead of having your family confiscated and wiped out, why don't you kill me now!"

Hua Twelve also knew that he was making people anxious, so he couldn't help but smile:

"I was just joking. Why should the Lieutenant take it seriously? Let's just do what the Lieutenant said!"

He stood up, took the inkstone, put it back on the desk, and then changed the topic:

"By the way, my yard has become a little too small recently. I plan to move to a larger house. If there is a suitable lieutenant, please help me and keep an eye on it!"

Seeing that he finally gave up the idea of ​​finding a dead soldier to assassinate the king, Lieutenant Gao breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"It's easy to say. Every year, many prisoners' homes are raided and their houses confiscated. As long as you spend money, you can buy them. They are all houses in good locations!"

Hua Twelve smiled and said nothing. He picked up the brush that Gao Qiu had used to practice calligraphy just now and wrote the four words wood, water, fire and earth on the paper. He then cupped his hands and said goodbye:

"My wife has made some soup. I will go back and wait for the good news from the Lieutenant!"

When Hua Twelve left, Gao Qiu looked confused. Why did he just say so and leave? Don't you want a house?

His eyes fell on the four words written by Hua Twelve. After looking at them for a long time, he suddenly came to his senses and spat:

"This little bastard, the five elements are short of gold. He wants to buy a house but doesn't have the money. I'm going to work for you, and I have to buy you a house. I"

Three days later, a house deed was sent to the palace commander's house. Hua Twelve went to see it. It was a courtyard with three entrances. It was said to be the residence of a prisoner from the Ministry of Revenue.

The person who came to deliver the house deed was a close steward of Gao Qiu. The steward also took out a loan document for Hua Twelve to sign. The amount on it was 120,000 yuan, which was the cost of buying the mansion. However, There is no repayment date.

When Hua Twelve looked at the loan document, his eyebrows immediately stood up. Who are you looking down on? When will the loan be repaid?

Before he could get angry, the housekeeper hurriedly stepped forward and whispered:

"Mr. Lin, the Taiwei said that you are a fifth-grade dragon banner. How can you afford to buy such a house? It is said that the Taiwei lent you money to buy this house. This document is also for others to see. There isn’t even a repayment date on it, so you don’t need to pay back the money!”

Hua Twelve then smiled and highly affirmed Gao Qiu's ability to do things.

After sending away the palace officials, he went to the front office of the palace to ask for three days' leave, and happily started moving with his family.

Lu Zhishen was also notified to come over to celebrate, and the latter brought Zhang San, Li Si, and some rogue apprentices over to help.

Although these apprentices were gangsters on the street before, they all changed their ways after following Lu Zhishen. They came to the house one by one. After knowing that there were women, they all obeyed the rules and did not rush into the inner house to attack Zhang Zhenniang and Lin. Sister and the others.

After moving, Hua Twelve ordered a few banquets in a restaurant to be delivered to the new house, one in the back house and two tables in the front hall to entertain his father-in-law, Luda and others.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes of food, one of Luda's apprentices, nicknamed Liu Er the Scurrying Gopher, came over to propose a toast. After Hua Twelve drank, the man reminded:

"Coach Lin, have you offended someone recently? Are there people outside paying money to cause trouble for you?"

Before Hua Twelve spoke, Lu Zhishen slapped the table: "You are so bold. Who wants to deal with my brother? Let's see if I don't peel off his skin!"

Liu Er said: "It is said that a man named Lai has a lame leg!"

Ruda's eyes widened: "But the right leg?"

"Exactly!"

Ruda flashed his bald head and said: "I spared his life last time, but he dared to harm my brother!"

Hua Twelve said quickly: "Wait a minute, senior brother, who is this person you are talking about?"

As soon as Ruda told the story, the last time Hua Twelve was called to Kaifeng Mansion, Monk Hua helped look after the house, but a group of men came outside and became aggressive.

Seeing that they were coming for the Lin family, Lu Da rushed out and beat and kicked the guy named Lai for fear of scaring the women in the house. He even broke a right leg of the guy named Lai. At that time, the guy said a few harsh words. After leaving, Lu Zhishen felt that this was nothing, so he didn't mention it to Hua Twelve.

Hua Twelve knew who it was as soon as he heard it. Unexpectedly, he had settled down and settled down. The Rongguo Mansion continued to make trouble, so he couldn't blame him.
