Famous peasant girl has a little field

Chapter 359

As soon as Qin Muyu arrived at Shen's mansion, he saw red lights hanging high in Shen's mansion. In addition to the gates of the mansion and the eaves of various courtyards, all kinds of lanterns were hung, and some bare trees were also hung with small red lanterns. The government is really beaming.

Although Han Mei and Shen Xiaoyu already knew that Shen Hongxuan was not dead, the people in the village didn't know that during Chinese New Year, the atmosphere at home was very festive, but the front door was very solemn. There were no red lanterns, Spring Festival couplets, or even whips.

Now that she is in the capital, Han Mei wants to make up for the regrets of the Chinese New Year. Not only must she hang up red lights, but also set off fireworks, so that the children can experience the atmosphere of home.

So far, a few days ago, the most famous fireworks shop in Hanmeitong Fancheng ordered a few carloads of fireworks, and they were pulled back yesterday, and now they are properly placed in the utility room.

Seeing Qin Muyu coming, Han Mei, who was instructing his servants to hang a lotus lantern on a tree, said with a smile, "Master Mu is here? Ximei just made some tonic soup, and I need to trouble you to bring it to Wenlang later." past."

Qin Muyu agreed, but regretted that he didn't have such a good fortune. Every time Han Mei brought soup, it was shared by two people, except for Shen Wen's, who naturally taught Shen Wen's famous teacher.

From Xue Yushu at the very beginning to the next few, they are all civil servants recognized as the most knowledgeable in the court. People who have been in the capital don't know their identities, and they just absorb knowledge eagerly every day. I'm afraid that if he is asked to go home and have a look at this time, he will not want to waste time.

Qin Muyu said: "Aunt Mei, tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, and it happens that Wen Lang can rest for a day, so I have to be free, why don't I go to the Lantern Festival in Fancheng with Aunt Mei and Yu'er."

Han Mei is also very lively, she was tempted when she heard Qin Muyu say it, she hadn't seen her son for quite a while, but she thought about it very much.Seeing that Shen Xiaoyu had no intention of refusing, she agreed.

Qin Muyu sat down for a while and was about to leave. He said that he would be free tomorrow, but there was a banquet in the Shangyuan Festival Palace. He would really have nothing to do.

But when he was about to leave, Han Mei asked: "Master Mu, I want to ask you, who did you rent this house from?"

Qin Muyu only thought that Han Mei was afraid of taking advantage of him, and wanted to inquire about the price of renting the house, so he said: "This house belongs to a friend of mine, and he is idle, and I just heard that I want to rent the house, so it's cheap I rented it out to me, what does Aunt Mei ask about this?"

Han Mei asked hesitantly: "I just want to ask if the house is for sale."

Qin Muyu smiled: "Should be able to sell it. When he bought the house at the beginning, he thought the price of the house was low, and it was useless in his hands. Since Aunt Mei wants to buy it, I will ask for you."

Han Mei said: "Why don't Mr. Mu invite someone here, and I'll talk to him personally, otherwise Mr. Mu's affection will be hindered, and he will be embarrassed to ask for a price."

Qin Muyu hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said: "Since Aunt Mei has the intention, I will bring him to the lantern festival tomorrow, and Aunt Mei can just talk to him."

Han Mei smiled and nodded, "Thank you, Mr. Qin."

Qin Muyu said: "Aunt Mei doesn't need to think too much, he bought this house really cheap at the beginning, it is said that it was only 8000 taels of silver, it is useless for him to keep it in his hand, maybe it can be sold to Aunt Mei for 1 taels."

Han Mei opened her mouth wide in surprise, "Such a big house can be sold for 1 taels?"

These days Han Mei is not idle, she also inquired, this area is full of high-ranking officials and nobles, not just those who have money can live in it, the most famous one is the third prince's mansion and the general on the west side To the north are Sixth Prince's Mansion and Prince Mu's Mansion, and to the south is the important palace. In front of the Wang Mansion and General Mansion, they can only be regarded as second-class mansions.

To the east is a busy city. Although there are no big people living there, it is bustling and bustling. Most of the people who live there are officials of the fifth rank and above. Senior officials also live there.

Although the location of Shen's residence is no better than that of the prince's residence and the official's residence, it is much better than those of officials below the second rank, and the house is much bigger.

And it is said that the residences of the five-rank officials in the east are not less than 3 taels. If their Shen residence is really bought, Han Mei has already prepared for at least [-] taels, and she will not have any more.

In the end, Qin Muyu told her that it was only 1 taels, which was much beyond her expectation. Looking at Qin Muyu's eyes, she was a little suspicious, and always felt that Qin Muyu wanted to give her the house.

Qin Muyu pressed his fist to his lips, and smiled awkwardly: "1 taels is just my guess, and he can earn 2000 taels, which is about the same. How much silver he wants to sell depends on what he wants."

Han Mei suppressed the doubts in her heart, "Since this is the case, Mr. Lao Mu will invite your friend tomorrow, and I will talk to him face to face about how much money."

Before leaving, Qin Muyu blinked at Shen Xiaoyu, as if asking for credit, but Shen Xiaoyu rolled her eyes.If Han Mei was still suspecting that Qin Muyu was going to give them the house, Shen Xiaoyu was absolutely sure, if it wasn't for the money, Han Mei would not accept the house, and Qin Muyu would not even ask for a penny.

As for the friend he mentioned, he must be one of his subordinates.

The Shangyuan Festival, also known as the Lantern Festival, is one of the important festivals in Liangkang.Every year at this time, not only the common people reunite with their families, but also the palace is very lively, as long as they are officials of the fifth rank or above in Beijing, they are invited into the palace to spend the festive season with the royal family.

The difference from previous years is that this year the Northwest Army defeated the East Yan Kingdom, which made the atmosphere of this year's festival more festive, from New Year's Eve until the Lantern Festival.

Shen Hongxuan, who captured Dongyan's uncle alive, was naturally the focus of discussion.

From the day when Shen Hongxuan and Qiu Aishuang led troops to escort Dongyan Emperor's Uncle to Beijing, people in the court have been discussing Shen Hongxuan and Qiu Aishuang's marriage. Although they don't know where the news came from, everyone knows that Qiu Shuai begged the emperor to come The decree was to bestow a marriage on Shen Hongxuan and Qiu Aishuang, but the decree to bestow marriage has not been issued for a long time.

And today's Lantern Festival, Shen Hongxuan and Qiu Aishuang were naturally also invited into the palace for a banquet.

Different from his tough appearance, Shen Hongxuan's temperament is very easy-going, and his conversation makes people feel happy. No matter how big or small officials he faces, he can have a good conversation with them. Dressed in civilian attire, no one would have guessed that this handsome man would be a decisive general on the battlefield.

It took more than ten years to become a general from an ordinary soldier, and he was appreciated by Qiu Shuai, and he personally led the troops to fight many victories. Apart from his bravery on the battlefield, Shen Hongxuan's tactics are also very comparable.
