The ultimate rebirth of the abandoned woman

Chapter 408 Family Disturbance ([-])

Now that the two houses are in hand, Xiao Nan and his wife have new ideas, so the original plan needs to be adjusted.

At first, Xiao Nan just wanted to expand a few houses in the vacant space of Rongshou Hall, and there was no need to demolish them, but now Xiao Nan wanted to re-plan the mansion, so there were more places that needed to be demolished.

Therefore, Xiao Nan asked the craftsmen in the mansion to suspend work temporarily, and ordered people to go to the Ministry of Industry to invite Yuan Yuanwailang.It's just that Yuan Yuanwailang went to Zhaoling with his boss, and he probably won't be back in half a month. Xiao Nan can only ask the craftsmen to break through the wall between the two new houses, and then prepare more stones, wood, etc., and then wait. The 'Chief Engineer' came back to rework the blueprints.

Perhaps it was the news that the Cui family had acquired the two houses, or maybe it was because the craftsmen demolished the walls and transported the stones too much, and the neighbors on the left and right knew the news that the Cui family's Rongshou Hall was going to be expanded.

Soon, two neighbors from the Cui family came to their door——

A family said that the old man in the family wanted to move back to his hometown with his family and wanted to sell the house in Beijing;

The other family said that they wanted to divide their family, but they had four sons in the family, and it was difficult to divide the extra house. It was heard that the princess of Xiangcheng had hundreds of shops in Xinshi and Nanshi, and wanted to exchange this house for four Paving.

Cui Youbo personally took people to look at two places. The house of the man who is going to be an official is not very big, about four steps away, but the location is very good, the door faces the alley in the square, and it happens to be connected with the Rongshou Hall.

And the neighbor of the branch family has a very large house, with seven entrances and seven exits, and the pavilions, terraces and waterside pavilions in the courtyard are extremely elegantly arranged, but it is a pity that there is another house between it and Rongshou Hall.

The one that became an official can be taken down directly, but the one that is separated is a bit troublesome.

Cui Youbo discussed with Xiao Nan, and then asked the steward to tell the steward of the branch family, the steward heard what the Cui family meant, and immediately reported to his master.

A few days later, the branch family simply sent all the land deeds of their own house and the house next door to Cui's house.

Seeing that the problem was solved, Xiao Nan readily agreed to the deal, and ordered that person to go to Xinshi and Nanshi to choose any shop. Someone sent a message to Wang Youan, and the matter was settled on the same day.

Two more (in fact, it can be regarded as three) houses were acquired. The area of ​​Rongshou Hall is almost the same as that of Rongkang Hall. Looking at the large-scale houses, Cui Youbo and Xiao Nan both feel at ease: in the future, they are not afraid that their sons will not go to school when they separate. Nice house!
Now everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.

Coincidentally, just after completing the transfer procedures, Yuan Yuanwailang, Dongfeng, returned to Beijing.As soon as he returned to Beijing, he heard that the princess of Xiangcheng had invited him, so he couldn't even take care of his family, so he ordered someone to pass a greeting card to Cui's family.

After receiving the letter of greeting, Xiao Nan didn't delay, and directly asked Yuan Yuanwailang to order someone to come to his home for a detailed discussion.

Therefore, it was related to the residence of future generations, and it was considered a major family matter, so Cui Youbo asked his superiors for leave and waited for Yuan Yuanwailang at home in person.

Cui Ze is Zhongshu's servant, no matter it is because of his face or Cui Youbo's status as the prince's confidant, Cui Youbo's boss will not make things difficult for him.Anyway, there was nothing important in the yamen recently, and Cui Youbo was usually a man of courtesy and convenience, so his superior was happy to do favors, so with a big wave of his hand, he granted Cui Youbo his leave.

Cui Youbo met Yuan Yuanwailang in the guest house in the atrium, and told him the idea of ​​the couple: re-plan the entire courtyard, and then repair five connected and independent branch courtyards within the overall framework.The branch courtyard must have a door facing the street, which is convenient for cutting later.In addition, except for the main courtyard, the areas of the other four buildings should be basically equal.

Other details are left to the 'designer' free play.

Yuan Yuanwailang is a professional, and he understood Cui Youbo's meaning immediately after hearing it, and immediately began to think about the configuration of the main frame, pavilions, pavilions, and artificial landscapes.

After a while, he straightened up, cupped his hands and said: "I understand, Mr. Cui Lang, don't worry, in three days, I will send a new blueprint."

Cui Youbo nodded in satisfaction, and while thanking, he ordered Yuan Yuanwailang to be sent to several houses next door for field inspection.Of course, the Cui family is a generous family, in addition to verbal thanks, they also ordered someone to prepare a generous thank you gift, Cui Guanshi sent someone directly to Yuan Yuanwailang's home.

After seeing several houses of the Cui family, Yuan Yuanwailang returned home with a tired face, and saw his wife's extremely happy smiling face.

"Lang Jun, Lang Jun, come and see... Everyone in the capital says that the princess of Xiangcheng is the most generous person. I usually don't believe it. Today I saw the Cui family's thank you..."

Mrs. Yuan took her husband's arm and pulled it hard into the room. As she walked, she said excitedly: "I have seen a little bit of the market by traveling with the Lord, but this thank you gift is really rare. There are many things that the concubine Never seen it before."

Amid Mrs. Yuan's excited chatter, Yuan Yuanwailang came to the main hall and saw several huge wooden boxes in the room. The lids of the wooden boxes had been opened, revealing the contents inside: as bright and clean as moonlight. Several pieces of smooth cloth (dazzling damask), several boxes of longan-sized pearls, several urns of dew spring as clear as water, several baskets of various novel fruits...

It’s okay to talk about the fabric, and the Yuan family is not an unsophisticated beetle who has never seen the world, but the fruit is—

Don't say that Mrs. Yuan doesn't recognize her, even Yuan Yuanwailang has been in the official circles of the capital for many years and participated in many banquets of powerful and powerful people. He has never seen so many rare fruits.

However, although the Yuan couple didn't recognize them, they knew the value of these fruits. I heard that a Hu merchant in central Beijing opened a huge fruit and vegetable shop in the eastern and western cities, specializing in selling some exotic fruits and vegetables brought in from the East China Sea. Durian, mango, coconut, they have strange names and strange shapes, but they taste surprisingly good.

Other people’s houses sell fruits and vegetables by the catty, but Wu’s fruit and vegetable shop sells them by the individual, and the individual price is also extremely high. An ugly durian costs [-] sticks, which is worth half a year for a fifth-grade Beijing official. salary.

The price is so outrageous, but it is extremely popular. The powerful and wealthy people in Beijing are proud to be able to eat the fruit of Wujia. If anyone holds a banquet and there is no Donghai fruit on the table, he will be ridiculed by people in the same circle. .

Yuan Yuanwailang is only from the sixth grade, relying on his salary alone, he will have to save seven or eight months to buy a durian fruit.Moreover, he is not a member of a family, and most of the people he communicates with are colleagues and officials of the same rank in the yamen, and he rarely has the opportunity to eat this kind of East China Sea fruit.

Seeing that the Cui family sent so many at once, it was enough for them to give gifts and take away for several banquets.

Just as she was thinking about it, Lady Yuan began to chatter again: "It just so happens that my aunt is going to say goodbye, so I will give this Lingling as a dowry to her, which is precious and dignified; and this pearl, in a few days, you can go to the supervisor and ask a craftsman to help her." A few pieces of jewelry, such a big pearl, is enough to attend the banquet of the princess and princess; and..."

After rambling for a while, Madam Yuan told the gentleman seriously, "The princess is so generous, and the gentleman should be very dedicated when doing things for others."

Seeing his wife's rare understanding, Yuan Yuanwailang felt very relieved, he didn't want Mrs. Yuan's next words to make his feet go limp, and he almost fell into the big box in front of him.

Only Madam Yuan said with bright eyes: "If Mr. Lang has done a good job, after the completion of the work, with the generosity of the princess, I will definitely thank you again—"

The drawings were settled, the craftsmen had already prepared, and the stones, wood, sand and mud were also prepared, and the next step was to start construction.

Xiao Nan summoned Iron Lady and Yu Zhu, and ordered them to arrange the servants who were on duty, and told them not to wander around, if they were bumped by outsiders, it would be embarrassing for the Cui family.

Then, Xiao Nan ordered the steward to enclose the construction site with curtains, leaving a path for the slaves in the inner house to walk, and repeatedly warned the craftsmen not to allow them to walk around indiscriminately.

After explaining these things one by one, and dismissing the two of them, Xiao Nan was about to go to see the quadruplets, when suddenly a little maid replied: "My lady, Bisi begging to see you!"

Yuzan came in with a cup of freshly stewed pork knuckle porridge. Hearing this, she smiled and said, "Since Jin Zhi was pregnant and moved out of the South Yard, Bisi has become more active."

Xiao Nan took the porridge and gently stirred it with a long-handled silver spoon. After giving birth, Yulian and a few cooks prepared various milking and nourishing foods in different ways, and fed them like pigs to fatten them up. Next, Xiao Nan's milk is very sufficient. Although it cannot feed the quadruplets, each child can eat some.

She gave birth three times in total. When Lingxi gave birth to her first child, she was breastfed for two months because she gave birth to Lingxi at her mother's house; , she only fed Changsheng a few times quietly; now that she has quadruplets, there are no elders in the family to restrain her, and Uncle Cui doesn't care about these, and her two wet nurses have long since persuaded her, so she can feed the children as she wishes. They breastfeed.

Not to mention that her breast milk is rich in nutrition, the key is that she does not want her children to have sex with her. Breastfeeding herself may not be conducive to the recovery of the body, but it is definitely conducive to the emotional communication between mother and child.

Whenever I see the little guys sucking hard, their little faces are full of seriousness, as if they are doing a serious and important thing, it only makes Xiao Nan's heart soft.

And because of this, the children are very familiar with Xiao Nan's breath and taste, when the nurse is feeding them, most of the time they refuse to eat, and in the end they have to ask the nurse to squeeze the milk into a bowl, and then feed it to the children spoon by spoon.

"Bis is a smart person." Xiao Nan finished his porridge, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and said, "Let her in."

Not long after, Bisi walked in with a bowed body, and respectfully knelt down to salute: "Maidservant please greet the princess."

Xiao Nan waved his hand, "There's no need to be too polite, let's talk, what's the matter?"

Bisi raised her eyes to look around and saw no outsiders in the room, so she lowered her voice and said, "Princess, the servant girl found that Ajin always went to Sun Niangzi's place in recent days, and the two of them avoided the maidservants around them, and whispered in secret several times in the house."

Xiao Nan frowned slightly, yes, she has been busy with family affairs these days, and she forgot about Sun Ling.

She was about to speak, but she didn't want to hear hurried footsteps from outside the door. Immediately afterwards, Iron Lady walked in anxiously, saluted hurriedly, and said, "Miss, no, it's not good, someone, someone is going to Beijing." Zhaofu filed a lawsuit, saying, saying that the Lord and the Lady invaded other people's property..."
