Chapter 665: Not Exclusive

Awang glanced boredly at the women muttering next to each other in the distance.

A few people were frightened by his eyes and their voices became softer, but they were also sure that this family had no official positions, so they curled up their lips with disdain.

As for the two servants who were asking around him, Awang simply ignored them, patted the horse's head, took out a handful of soybeans from his pocket and fed them to Lao Huang.

The two servants did not expect to encounter a saw-headed gourd. They grunted angrily, left him alone, and stood at the door of Dr. Cui's house to pry inside.

But before I even took a second look, a group of people came out.

Qin Yao glanced coldly, she could clearly hear the chatter outside the door, and the look she glanced at the two servants was even more fierce.

The two families suddenly faced each other, their hearts skipped a beat, and they hurriedly stepped aside, muttering to themselves, "Who is this person?" They just looked at each other twice and became so fierce, I'm afraid they're not bandits!

But don't take a fancy to Dr. Cui's house. If you become a neighbor with such a person, the master, young master and ladies of the house will have to beware of theft and robbery.

"Let's go to the next house." Qin Yao said to the housekeeper.

He raised his head again and looked at the servants and women around him who were smacking their tongues and looking down on others. He vaguely understood why the waiter was so reluctant to speak.

Everyone turned to Kuanzhengfang.

The layout of the houses on both sides is actually similar, and the Kuanzhengfang side is indeed newer. There is a well in the yard and it is convenient to get water.

The original owner also left a lot of furniture behind, but it doesn't look as high-end and beautiful as the one in the monastery. The courtyard hasn't been repaired very much, and it's very sloppy. Overall, it's not as beautiful as the previous one.

But these are secondary things. Aesthetics is something that everyone has different opinions on, and if you don’t like it, you can change it yourself.

The house that the mistress entered had twelve rooms in total, some big and some small.

Finally, the third courtyard is divided into two independent small courtyards on the left and right. Qin Yao particularly likes this.

As the children grow up, there will definitely be more than that many people in the family in the future. When the time comes, they will live in separate houses, which will save them a lot of worry.

Each of the remaining rooms has plenty of lighting, but the courtyard is a bit small. It is not a single-family house, and the courtyard walls are close to the neighbors on the left and right.

"This is so convenient for listening to the corner." Liu Ji chuckled, the soul of gossip burning.

The children were already a little tired. The houses all looked similar, and there was nothing particularly new. After seeing a few of them, their excitement quickly subsided.

Qin Yao asked Liu Ji and Awang to take them out for a walk. She, Qin Feng and Yin Le stayed behind and went from house to house to see if there was any damage.

Seeing her attitude, the guy knew it. If he hadn't taken a fancy to her, he wouldn't have looked at her so carefully.

However, seeing Qin Yao and the others carefully investigating, he couldn't help but become nervous.

Qin Yao pointed to the beams in the hall upon entering the courtyard, "What material are these wooden beams made of?"

The clerk immediately replied: "Ironwood is resistant to rot and insects. It is the best material and is strong."

"This well doesn't have guardrails or anything. It's just so bare. What if a child falls in?" Yin Le stood by the well and kept shaking his head.

The boy quickly said: "Don't worry, girl, this well is absolutely clean. Besides, the guardrail is not simple. Just go back and find a few bricks to build a fence."

Qin Feng went to the back door and looked at the waiter dissatisfied: "You didn't say anything about the stables being so shabby just now."

The waiter smiled bitterly, "Eight of the ten households in Beijing raise horses. This family used to raise horses, but because they found it smelly, they switched to sedans and left the stables unused. However, the stables are well built and the roof needs to be repaired. It’s no big deal.”

"Who will pay for the repairs?" Qin Feng asked.

He is rich, but he should not be allowed to pay a penny of his own money.

The clerk was in trouble, and Qin Yao found out the problem again, saying that the sewer at the second entrance was blocked and it would be better not to clear it. The rainy season is about to begin, and what should I do if my house is flooded. The waiter lamented: "Don't worry, I'll discuss it with the owner later. The price should be lowered. How about making an appointment with the owner tomorrow and let's talk together?"

Qin Yao and Qin Feng looked at each other, "Okay!"

The waiter was very happy, it seemed that the customers were quite satisfied with this place.

But in fact, what makes Qin Yao most satisfied is not the house, but the surrounding environment - not exclusive.

The houses here range from large to small, some are single-family homes, and there are also cases where several families rent together in a large compound.

Walking into the shop, most of the houses have their doors open.

There are ladies sitting by the door choosing dishes. When they see newcomers from outside, they will enthusiastically ask:
"What did you do?"

"Oh, look at the house. That house is really square."

Just walk a few steps in the alley and you'll meet such an enthusiastic and gossipy wife. Her eyes are curious and appreciative, but not condescending or contemptuous.

Because the door is basically open, the conditions of each house can be seen at a glance, and the conditions are much better than those in Yongtongfang.

Compared with Yongtongfang where Qin Feng's family is now located, people here in Kuanzhengfang are neatly dressed and bright colors are not uncommon.

There are people in the family who don’t have to go out to work to stay and take care of the housework. You can also see children eating seasonal fruits and candies. No matter how wealthy you are, you must be well-off.

These neighbors have different accents, more than half of them are from other places, and they get along very well with the local residents.

When the Qin Yao brothers and sisters came out after viewing the house and the waiter, Liu Ji had already successfully infiltrated the gossiping women in front of the fruit stall with his four children.

Each of the twins took a plum from someone unknown and played with the three or four-year-old babies next to them who had not yet gone to school.

Liu Ji and Dalang Erlang, father and son, were surrounded by a group of aunts and mothers-in-law, watching Liu Ji introduce how smart and capable his two sons were.

"Da Lang, come here and show your aunts a golden rooster independence performance!"

"Erlang, haven't you memorized Cao Cao's poems? Go and show your voice to the mothers-in-law!"

Dalang looked embarrassed, but he still tried his best to smile. Spread your arms, lift your left foot, stand up with only one right foot, and make a golden rooster independent movement.

Liu Ji pushed his waist, but the young man remained motionless, as steady as an old tree root deeply rooted in the soil.

Aunts and mothers-in-law all showed expressions of surprise and clapped excitedly: "Okay, okay!"

The elder brother has shown his performance, but what about the younger brother?

Everyone's expectant eyes fell on Erlang.

The young boy twitched his eyes, took a deep breath, stood with his hands behind his hands, raised his head slightly and looked at the sky at a 45-degree angle.

"Singing to wine, how much life is like! It's like morning dew, it's so bitter in the past."

The ladies looked at each other. Although they didn't understand, they felt it was very powerful.

"Xiangong Liu, your two sons have been well educated."

"When will you move here? Then I will ask my boy to come over and learn more from your Erlang."

"Yes, yes, and that boy of mine is good at wielding swords and swords all day long. He is worried that he has no partner to practice martial arts with."

Liu Ji responded with ease, "Wherever it goes, it will be as soon as possible."
