Butterfly [The Great Austrian Woman Version]

Everyone bid farewell to the town year post, and left the town enforcement office. "Everyone" led the way respectfully, Lai Fang followed behind, and Yu Xuma was half a step behind her.It was morning when they entered Edo, and it is only noon now.The sun in winter is soft and has no strength, it only makes people lazy, not very warm but not very cold.

"Youma, let's stay here first, and it won't be too late to return the ox cart, maybe we need to add something." Yuan and Youma walked behind, the former tugged on the latter's sleeve, whispering in his ear.Arima listened politely and nodded in understanding.When the group arrived at the ox cart, Yu Xumo was not fit to show his face in public, so he had to take the ox cart naturally. In this case, "everyone" would definitely not be able to get on the ox cart.In terms of status, there is nothing wrong with letting her go with the bullock cart, but Lai Fang thinks that the other party is an elderly person, and they are staying with him, so it is not good to take Da Da.In particular, she had just heard what Ding Nian sent that the "everyone" was actually equivalent to a neighborhood committee, and it was her business to register household registration, pass on news from above, and maintain health and order.

Lai Fang wanted to walk with her all the way, it was not far anyway.But here comes the problem.If Lai Fang walked with everyone, then Ah Yuan couldn't stay in the car alone with Yu Xumo, it would be inappropriate.In this case, it would be Yu Xumo riding in the car by himself, and a group of people followed the car, which was too eye-catching.Now, Lai Fang deeply understands the helplessness of buying a donkey to carry it away.These thoughts were only for a moment, Yu Xumo got into the ox cart, she also got into the ox cart naturally, everyone bowed and stood beside the cart, Ah Yuan rolled his eyes and stood beside everyone.Arima drove the cart and left, and Ah Yuan chatted lively with everyone, which was not considered disrespectful.

"Miss will have a look at it later, if you are not satisfied, then change it. Although the longhouse in this room is a bit small, it is better because there are fewer 'shops' and it is clean."

"Shop? Can't open a shop yet, isn't that the Biao Chang's house?" A Yuan asked here and there, learning about the situation by the way.

"Haha, Dianzi refers to the tenants, the tenants call me 'everyone', and I call them 'Dianzi'."

Ah Yuan bowed and said, "From now on, please 'everyone' take care of us 'shops'."

"Everyone" hurriedly avoided, returned the courtesy, and said again and again, "Don't dare, how dare you call 'everyone' in front of nobles, mess up the hierarchy, no way."

"'Everyone' don't need to be modest, we live in your house, so it's your 'shop', so what does it matter." Lai Fang kept the window open, listening to the two of them chatting, and said at this time.

"Everyone" is used to dealing with people, and when Lai Fang said something, she tasted something else.Quickly said, "The villain has the audacity to say 'everyone' to you. Don't worry, the place we went to see first, there is also a samurai in the shop. We dare not talk about your identity." She was thinking about it, Lai Fang felt that living in the long house as a daimyo would lose her status, so she was embarrassed to say.Lai Fang knew that she had misunderstood, but he couldn't explain it, so it must be wrong.

A Yuan led "everyone" to continue talking about the house. Everyone was too happy to confront Lai Fang, and said in detail, "There are six rooms in this long house, and four rooms are rented out now. One family is a samurai with a husband; the other is a Niwa has three children with her; the other two are single women who stay away all day. Compared with a house of more than twenty households, I don’t know how much less noise.” Everyone said like a few treasures, but it was true. I am very familiar with the situation of the store.She introduced it so hard because of selfishness. Tenants like Lai Fang are afraid of being poor and picky. The place she introduced has a lot of face in it. Of course, let her know first.

This group of people is not stupid, and they naturally understood what everyone said.Lai Fang thought about his embarrassing status of being too high or too low, and pouted with a wry smile.After hearing the composition of the neighbor, Yu Xumo felt bitter in his heart, and subconsciously clenched the hem of his clothes.It is said to see through and see through, how many people can really see through and let go of all kinds of things in the world.There is a horse on the bustling street, no need to swing the whip, just use the handle of the whip to correct the direction, so it is a little distracted.Ah Yuan answered everyone correctly, looked around and listened to all directions, and surveyed the surrounding environment all over.While thinking about adding something later, I secretly remember which store sells what, and keep them all in my heart.

Not long after, they arrived at Nihonbashi Honcho, which they passed by when they came here, and it was very bustling, and now it is even more bustling.Ah Yuan still likes this place very much because of her lively temperament.There is a horse because there is a bridge between here and the inner city, so it will be convenient for the master to come and go.Lai Fang had no objection at all, but Yu Xumo didn't know what he was thinking. "Everyone" led Arima into the alley, and the shops lined up on the main street looked grand, with two floors and plenty of sunlight.

Entering the alley, it is the long house, which loses the dignity of the long house, mostly bungalows.The architectural style is similar to that of the Omote Long House, but it may lack a little decoration and the lighting is not so good, it always looks gray and greasy.Walking to a door, "everyone" asked Arima to stop the car, Lai Fang and Yu Xumo got out of the car one after another, "everyone" modestly gave way, and finally took the lead and stretched out his hand to open the door.Lai Fang frowned, but after thinking about it, it was unrealistic for so many people to come in and out at any time and lock the door.

Some people also came in and out of the alley, and when they saw them driving the ox cart, they all stopped to watch in shock, and those who were familiar with them already pointed away.Yu Xumo was wearing a veiled hat, twisting his clothes tightly with his hands. He always felt that the eyes of these people were fixed on him, which made him a little uncomfortable.But his upbringing did not allow him to express his uneasiness and embarrassment. Suddenly, a warm hand covered his hand.He looked up in a daze, and it was Lai Fang. She didn't look at him, but just held him casually, and couldn't see her expression clearly through the hood, but the warmth of her hands calmed his impetuous heart.He straightened his back and followed Lai Fang into the yard with graceful steps.Whispering and prying eyes were blocked by the door.

As soon as I entered the yard, I was facing a well with a diameter of one and a half meters, and the height of the wooden well fence was more than one meter, which looked very spectacular.The reason why it is called a long house is because it is really long, and the gate of the courtyard opens to the south. In the middle of a well, the east and west houses are separated on the left and right.This is still the "everyone" said that there are only six households, three from the left and three from the right, which already looks narrow and long. If there are ten households in a row, wouldn't it look like an army barracks?

"Everyone" first secretly looked at Lai Fang's face, and saw that she didn't feel disgusted, so he boldly introduced, "The two rooms on the left and right after entering the door are all single women, and the one left for you is the second room on the right hand side. The third room has a good orientation and is far away from the hut." When she said this, Lai Fang noticed that there were two huts on the left hand side of the door, why did he know it was a hut, because the door was only half a meter high, and the top was empty Yes, when people squat down, they can probably only cover the lower half of their body.For some unknown reason, there are two huts, one big and the other small, right at the door of the first house on the left.Lai Fang thought to himself, how can this be accepted?It's not like when you live in a dormitory, even if the dormitory door faces the toilet, it's a door anyway, isn't it?I think there will be some compensation in terms of rent.

"The second room on the left is for a plasterer. It is not easy for her to take care of three children alone. On weekdays, she goes to work, and the children also go to the 'Sizi House', but it is quiet; the third room on the left is for one. A samurai and her husband, they are not usually at home." She briefly introduced, leading Lai Fang to the third room on the right, and beckoning Lai Fang to go in and have a look.Lai Fang pushed open the sliding door, and was taken aback for a moment. The room was less than three meters wide and four meters deep at most. There was still a piece of land when he entered the room, and there was an empty space of one meter.This room is really small, what kind of concept, how small is it?That is, at most four stacks of tatami can be put down, and two adults can go there, well, it's full!

"Everyone" guessed that Lai Fang had never seen this kind of room, rubbed his hands and said timidly, "Well, this room is a little small, ha, but it is suitable for young couples to live in, isn't it? It's crowded at night, and it's too small. What a big deal!" She was used to chatting with the shopkeepers, and now she opened her mouth to say it, seeing that Lai Fang and Yu Xumo looked away awkwardly, and suddenly wanted to slap her in embarrassment.She concealed and said, "Hey, the land in the porch is for the stove and the bucket, and you have to buy the tatami mats inside. There are some leftovers from the store I moved out. If you don't mind ..."

She is used to selling new stores, which is also her income, and she also said the same to Lai Fang, but when she saw their clothes, she swallowed her words abruptly.She must have eaten something wrong when she went out today, why did she keep talking about everything, even if Lai Fang's status was in trouble, she wouldn't be so down.I hope the other party doesn't think that she is taunting them. When she thought of this, she suddenly felt the coolness on the back of her neck. It was a cold day and she began to sweat.

"Don't dislike it! You can use it after cleaning it. If Miss orders it later, I'll pick it up from you. The price is easy to negotiate." Ah Yuan popped up and smoothed things over. She knew that Miss and Master Mei were not for this person. Can't speak, it's not because they have ghosts in their hearts.After hearing what "everyone" said, she also felt that this room was good, and the more she looked at it, the better it would be if the lady booked it.

"Just this one, the second one on the right hand side for you and Arima to live in." Lai Fang suddenly made a sound and booked it. "Everyone" was overjoyed. At this time, her mood was ups and downs. She secretly wiped off her sweat and said with a smile, "Book it, book it, book it. I haven't had time to tell you the beauty of this yard." She My heart was relieved, and my words kept up.

It turns out that there is a back door in this yard, which is opposite to the main gate, at the northern end, very close to Lai Fang's house. "Everyone" stepped forward, gently pushed away, motioning for Lai Fang to come and see.As soon as Lai Fang walked over, he immediately fell in love with the surprise.It turned out that outside the back door was the river on the second ring road. When Lai Fang walked out, it was as if he was in the water city of Venice.There are as many boats passing by on the half-kilometer-wide river as swimming fish.She seemed to be suspended above the river, with only a stone path less than half a meter under her feet, and several stone stairs leading straight into the river.Looking left and right, they are all the back wall of the yard, extending infinitely, as if there is no end.Lai Fang closed her eyes, feeling the wet breath and noisy voices coming towards her face. For a moment, she seemed to feel the pulse of Edo Castle, and it hit her heart directly.
