After cooking the porridge and sending it over, Xu Yun and the others did not disturb Aunt Deng and the others too much.

After all, when something like this happens, no one wants outsiders to get too involved.

Besides, Luo Yuan himself could not accept the reality and did not want to see strangers.

Aunt Deng forced herself to thank him and temporarily entrusted Tie Niu to Xu Yun. After just two words, her eyes became red again.

Xu Yun felt bad seeing Aunt Deng like this. He said a few words to comfort her and then went back with the empty bowl.

After returning, they began to clean up the house.

This house has been vacant for who knows how long. Although it has been roughly cleaned, it still looks like everything needs to be cleaned up.

Xie Wanqing was responsible for the furniture in the house, while Xu Yun swept the yard and took Tie Niu with him.

Hongyu cleaned the kitchen and utility room.

When the previous owner left, he took away almost everything that could be taken away.

Only some large pieces of furniture were left behind, so the house was already equipped with beds, tables, and cabinets. After cleaning them and laying out the beddings you brought, you could move in.

They are just some pots, pans, and utensils, and you need to go back and buy them yourself.

There are three main rooms. The middle one is used as a reception room. Xie Wanqing lives on the left side, and the right side is temporarily vacant.

The three rooms in the east wing belonged to Xu Yun. The one on the left was used as a bedroom, and the other two rooms, which were not partitioned, were used as a study and a piano room.

The name of the study was proposed by Xu Yun himself, but the name of the piano room was proposed by Xie Wanqing - playing the piano and burning incense are activities that cultivate one's sentiments, and are enjoyed by the gentry.

Xie Wanqing believed that although they were now poor, Xu Yun should also have what others had.

Xu Yun didn't object. She had a library, and it would be better if she didn't live with anyone else so that no one would notice her abnormality.

Moreover, she needs to store and copy more books, and one bookshelf may not be enough in the future. It would be perfect to convert the piano room into a study room at that time.

As for Hongyu, she lived in the west wing.

The west wing near the gate was used as a kitchen, the middle room was used for dining, and the room next to it was used as her own bedroom.

This arrangement is perfect.

As for the empty room, Xie Wanqing also had a plan: "Let's see if we can buy two looms when the time comes, so that Hongyu and I can weave when we have nothing to do."

Once the cloth is woven, it can be sold for money.

Xu Yun had no objection, and Hongyu was also happy: "Actually, I can just sleep on the small step like before."

As a maid, Hongyu never had her own bedroom. She either slept on the floor in the outer room and put away the bedding during the day, or simply slept wrapped in a quilt on the small footstool beside the bed in the room.

Xu Yun smiled and said softly, "In the past, there were only three rooms in the Taoist temple, so I had to put you in a difficult position. Now that we have the conditions, we naturally don't have to do that anymore."

There was one more thing she didn't say, which was, after escaping from Ruyang City, although Hongyu was a maid in name, what was the difference between her and her family members?

Hongyu rubbed her hands together, a smile spread across her face, and she looked up at the room: "From now on, we will only have good days ahead of us."

As he spoke, his eyes became red.

Xie Wanqing also looked around, but her expression was much more complicated, but the smile on her face was also very bright: "Yes, we don't have to live the same life as before. We have money and a house..."

Thinking of those days in the past, Xie Wanqing's eyes turned red and she couldn't continue speaking. She blamed herself and thought: If I had been more decisive at the beginning and took A Yun away when she was a child, A Yun wouldn't have to suffer so much.

Xu Yun looked at the two people whose eyes were redder than each other, patted Tie Niu who was almost asleep in his arms, and said with a smile: "Let's tidy up like this today, and continue tomorrow. Pull out all the weeds in the yard, and then go buy some wooden basins and other things. Mother, you and Hongyu discuss what to buy tomorrow."

Xie Wanqing smiled and said, "You have to look carefully. We just moved in and we are missing a lot of things."

After a pause, she continued, "Let's see if we can buy some meat tomorrow. We've just moved in, so we need to keep the house warm. This is our own home, so we still need to be considerate of many things."

Xu Yun nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes. However, I want to go around the city tomorrow and visit some acquaintances."

"Acquaintance?" Hongyu wondered, "Isn't this our first time here? How come the young lady has an acquaintance?"

Shouldn't you know no one?

Xu Yun smiled and said, "It's Miss Xiao."

Don’t forget, there is also a house!

Xie Wanqing hesitated for a moment: "Ah Yun, between us and Miss Xiao...will there be any misunderstanding?"

Xu Yun knew what Xie Wanqing meant.

Xiao Zheyue holds a high position, while she is nothing now. Going to see Xiao Zheyue like this would not only seem like she is trying to fawn on him and raise her status, but she would also be suspected of taking advantage of him.

It's not good for her reputation.

But Xu Yun really didn't plan to reminisce about the past. She just smiled and said, "You don't have to meet her. Just send a visiting card. Otherwise, it would be inappropriate if we didn't say anything when we came to Beiping. When she left, she specifically told me to look for her when I got to Beiping. We can't let people think that we are arrogant and look down on her."

In fact, whether to send a visiting card or not is just an excuse.

The real purpose is to tell Xiao Zheyue: I am here to ask for the house, don’t forget this matter, otherwise the other party will deny it and refuse to give me the house!

Especially since she already has a house.

Although Luo Zhan helped with the formalities, she did have a house in her name. If Xiao Zheyue didn't make arrangements, wouldn't the house be gone?

Xu Yun was also hoping to rent out this house and earn some rent!

Seeing that Xu Yun had his own ideas, Xie Wanqing didn't say anything more. Then the three of them went to wash the vegetables and cook, and when they were done, they sent them to the next door.

Luo Yuan had already woken up by now.

Facing Auntie Deng and Auntie Hua with red eyes, Luo Yuan lowered his eyes, not daring to look at them at all: "In fact, it would have been better if I had died at that time--"

You can get a pension if you die.

Although I still have the pension now, it is reduced by half and will still be a burden on the family in the future.

When he thought of this, Luo Yuan felt ashamed and blamed himself, secretly hating himself for not making up his mind to end his life earlier.

Before Luo Yuan could finish his words, Aunt Deng slapped him in the face.

She really used a lot of strength. Not only did she slap Luo Yuan's face crooked, she almost slapped him to the ground. Hua Niang was so scared that she even forgot to be angry with her husband. She hurried to help him and reminded him embarrassedly: "Mom, his leg is still injured!"

What if he really rolls onto the ground?

Aunt Deng's eyes were red, and she gnashed her teeth in anger: "I think he didn't have a leg injury, but was kicked in the head by a horse! Listen to what he said!"

At this point, Auntie Deng couldn't get enough of it and slapped him again, this time hitting the confused Luo Yuan on the head again: "I dug up your ancestral graves in my previous life and you reincarnated to piss me off?"
