Rebirth of the Main Room Manual

Chapter 95 Residential
When the dinner was on the table, Du Zhong also sent Yue Qing home.

Le Qing came back with Du Zhong at ease, because every time she saw Hou Ye’s brother-in-law, Du Zhong followed her around. Zheng Jingyan also asked Du Zhong to give gifts to his mother-in-law and aunt twice. Knowing that Yue Qing recognized Du Zhong, he asked him to pick him up.

Le Qing went to the side hall to meet the elders, thanked her brother-in-law, and told him that Eucommia ordered Mama Liu's family to be brought into the city.

Zheng Jingyan smiled and said, "Your sister once told me that Mama Liu is like a nursing mother and is very important to you sisters. If I let her know that Mama Liu fell ill as soon as she came, she might rush me to see Liu in the middle of the night. Mom, I have to make preparations in advance to save myself from being caught off guard! In this way, Mother Liu can get rid of the pain earlier, wouldn't it be good?"

Le Qing smiled and nodded: "This is naturally the best, thank you brother-in-law!"

At the banquet, Pang Shizhi's father and son, and Mrs. Xia's father and son, heard Zheng Jingyan's words, and felt how much he cherished Yiqing. They all smiled and nodded. Xia Xiuping felt very good in his heart. Loved it, drank two more glasses, and the "good son-in-law" couldn't leave his mouth all night. The father-in-law Pang Shizhi frequently made winks to imply that he should not go too far, but he turned a blind eye.

The people sitting at the table are all his own people, so there is no need to shy away from it. Zheng Jingyan once again mentioned the issue of his father-in-law's official career.

During the tea conversation just now, Xia Xiuping also talked about some of Xia Xiuping's previous achievements in office. Pang Shizhi speculated for him. He estimated that after the job report, he would get an "excellent" in the evaluation. There is no problem with promotion. What kind of official position you get depends on everyone's luck.

Someone who was promoted from a wealthy county magistrate to a sixth-rank magistrate, but went to a poor and remote prefecture where the mountains and rivers are dangerous and evil, and ghosts don't want to live, that is also called a promotion.

That's why the officials worked so hard to spend all the money they had saved up on this crucial point. They didn't want to give up their money, and just waited to go to places that others would not go to.

Xia Xiuping didn't have to worry about these problems at this time, even if Hou Ye and his son-in-law didn't care, Pang Shizhi, his father-in-law, could still give him a hand, so he wouldn't be allowed to fill those poor holes.

But just now Zheng Jingyan said that at this juncture, my grandfather must prevent others from stumbling, and my grandfather should not worry about the matter of my father-in-law!
It means he has other plans.

Pang Shizhi and Xia Xiuping naturally followed good example.

Zheng Jingyan raised his glass to Xia Xiuping, and said, "Yiqing hopes that mother and younger siblings will settle in the capital, and father-in-law will only be able to stay as an official in the capital after reporting his duties. In this case, we must consider buying an official residence."

Pang Shizhi hurriedly said: "My daughter has been married to the south of the Yangtze River for more than ten years. When I come back this time, I can't bear to bear her anymore! This west courtyard is specially built for the son-in-law and daughter's family to live in! Re-expand the door to make it higher, and hang a plaque to make it easier." Yes, there is no need to spend money to build another official residence."

Xia Xiuping saluted and said: "Thank you, father-in-law! A Xue also said that she still lives comfortably in her mother's house, and the children seldom cry. Qing'er and Le'er were born in their hometown in the south of the Yangtze River, but they loved crying when they were young!"

Pang Shizhi stroked his slender and elegant beard and laughed: "The Pang family has lived in the capital for generations, and Xueer is used to the northern climate, so her children naturally follow her. The water in the south of the Yangtze River is too heavy, and they are not used to it and feel uncomfortable!"

"Father-in-law is right, it seems to be true! Xue'er is not in good health in Jiangnan, and Qing'er and Le'er are also very weak..."

"Well, so let's say..."

Zheng Jingyan: "..."

Disclaimer: I'm talking about housing, can you two, Mrs. Weng, stop talking too far?
Seeing the helplessness on the face of his nephew and son-in-law, Xia Xiuhe, the third master Xia, couldn't help but roll his eyes at his elder brother: It's really important to flatter your father-in-law, but you also have to see what kind of son-in-law you recruited, okay?If this nobleman is offended, I think you and your son-in-law will be caught blind!

Xia Xiuhe didn't have any fame, nor did he have any social status, so he decided to sit with high-ranking officials because of his seniority. He didn't dare to say a word on this kind of occasion, but he watched his face , The ability to figure out people's wishes, he claims to be much better than his elder brother, the niece and son-in-law of the Marquis, he understands the meaning of the residence, if the elder brother doesn't come back to answer the call, I'm afraid he will lose a big benefit up!

Heartbroken, Xia Xiuhe said something abruptly: "Actually, if it's just elder brother and sister-in-law living with their nephews and nieces, it's fine, but it's not too good if father and mother are here too. !"

There was a silence on the table, and Mrs. Xia finally got a chance to speak: "Little San'er's words are somewhat reasonable. It's really not good for a big family, old and young, to bother you all year round!"

Pang Shizhi said: "It doesn't matter, the two sides live separately and do not interfere with each other. The in-laws don't have to worry about it!"

Xia Xiuping looked at his father-in-law, then at his own father, and said in an official tone: "This..."

He was in a dilemma: How could he not know that Pang Ruxue was accustomed to the northern climate?This time, with the help of my father-in-law and son-in-law, I definitely want to stay in Beijing, and I have money to buy a house in the capital to settle down in the family. Let him be flattered, dare not refuse, now that the father and younger brother have said these two words again, I really don't know what to do!

Zheng Jingyan smiled and said: "My lord's kindness will be enough for my father-in-law and mother-in-law to last my whole life. However, my son-in-law also wants to show his filial piety, and he has prepared another house for his father-in-law. In the same room, the five-in-one Sifang mansion was originally the residence of Liu Shilang from the household department. Liu Shilang retired last year and returned home with his family, so the house fell into the hands of his son-in-law."

Pang Shizhi was surprised and said: "The house of Liu Shilang of the former household department? I have been there several times. It is very spacious inside. The house is tall, bright, compact and strong. The back garden is full of exotic flowers and plants, and the pavilions, pavilions, lotus ponds and curved bridges are exquisite. Li, each suits each other well...Liu Shilang left Beijing, I was pitying his house, but it turned out that you bought it?"

"Exactly! Now that my father-in-law is coming to Beijing, he can renovate and renovate the house, and he can move in in a month or two."

Xia Xiuhe was overjoyed. He intended to live in the capital with his parents and elder brother and sister-in-law for a while, but staying in Pang's residence made him uncomfortable, and he was very wary of Pang Shizhi, who had a stern face and a dignified appearance. , the niece and son-in-law gave the father-in-law a luxury house as a gift, and if the eldest brother and sister-in-law set up their own family, it would be the authentic Xia family.

Xia Xiuping didn't dare to make a noise, tried his best to suppress his joy, and looked at his father-in-law. Pang Shizhi pondered for a moment, and said to Xia Xiuping: "Forget it, the juniors are filial, so you can accept it! The left and right houses are not far away. , if I want to see you, I can walk there in a few steps!"

Xia Xiuping hurriedly said: "Yes, the son-in-law will obey the father-in-law's will!"

"Well, it's so good...then you still have to thank Lord Hou!"

Xia Xiuping turned around, and Zheng Jingyan picked up the wine glass and said, "I and Yiqing's little filial piety, the elders are willing to accept it, it is our husband and wife's honor! My son-in-law respects my father-in-law, please!"

"Good! Good! Please, please!"

Xia Xiuhe was very happy and raised his glass to drink with him.
