The landlord is a businessman. He bought this house when he first came to the capital to do business. Zhang Lianbai’s official contract expires in three years, so he wanted to sign a contract with the landlord for three years. So they negotiated a lot, and in the end it was 100 yuan a year. For the rent of two silver coins, the house was rented.Businessmen pay attention to harmony and wealth, and it is always good to have some relationships with officials.

Otherwise, what about the official business party?

After signing the contract, Zhang Lianbai's worries were also settled.They went to Yijin's house together, and Li Hong had already brought his servants, unexpectedly even Li Yangshi also came.

Seeing Li Yangshi, Zhang Lianbai was a little nervous.It was Li Yang who smiled first and said: "I'm afraid you big men are not serious, Lian Bai is also a scholar, let me clean the house."

"Then trouble your aunt."

When Li Yang sent someone to clean the house, he burned incense at the door of the house. Some things that women understand, men really can't understand.

In the evening, Zhang Lianbai ate dinner at the Hou Mansion. After dinner, he went back into the house.No, the owner has to stay for one night.But Li Yang was worried that he was alone, so he sent two servants to follow.

Li Yang is very fond of Zhang Lianbai, the more the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more satisfied she becomes, it's true.

The next day, Zhang Lianbai went back to the countryside. His family was in the countryside of the capital, so he was considered a native of the capital.There is nothing to clean up at home, and let’s move to a new house, and I will get married soon, so I don’t want the old quilts and furniture, and buy new ones.

It was the first time that Mrs. Zhang and Li Yang met. Although they said they were married, they had never met, so it was not easy for Li Yang to visit.Today, Zhang Lianbai and Zhang's mother moved to the capital, so Li Yang invited them to Hou's mansion for dinner.

Although Zhang's mother has been in poor health for many years and basically lies on the bed, she is not inconvenient.Zhang Lianbai hired a carriage to the Hou's residence, accompanied by a servant.

In the past, Zhang Lianbai hired the aunt next door to look after Zhang's mother, and gave him 200 copper coins every month.The aunt next door has a son and a daughter, and it is easy to take care of Mrs. Zhang, so she is also very willing.Zhang Lianbai would bring them food when he went home, so this care was consensual.Now that they came to the capital, Zhang Lianbai was introduced to hire an old lady in another village.The old woman's wife died early, and she took care of her daughter by herself. She was already married, so she couldn't go with her daughter. It happened that Zhang Lianbai hired someone here, so she came here.

A monthly allowance of 500 copper coins is responsible for food, clothing and housing.Much better than the old lady staying at home alone.

Zhang's mother did not let go of her thoughts along the way. The Hou's family was high, and she was deeply afraid of being looked down upon.But one was proud in her heart, proud of her son.Not only did the son pass the No.2 exam, but he even agreed on a marriage.At the same time, I lamented my own uselessness.She fell ill three years ago. At that time, Zhang Lianbai was 16 years old. Because she fell ill, Zhang Lianbai did not participate in the Qiuwei that year.Otherwise, her son would have been a Jinshi long ago.Thinking about it, her tears fell down.

"Ma'am, it's such a joyful event, don't cry yourself out." The old woman comforted.

Zhang Lianbai hired two carriages in total. He sat in the first carriage, so he didn't know what was going on in the latter carriage.

"Yeah, we are good at practicing white, good at reading, and we have found such a good wife. But...but it's still the Hou Mansion, such a precious family, I'm afraid..." Mrs. Zhang was wearing new clothes, secretly Red cloth.The clothes were still made by Li Lin, and the shoes on Zhang's mother's feet were all made by Li Lin who asked Zhang Lianbai for Zhang's mother's size.When Zhang's mother received it, she liked it to death.

Because of this, she agrees that Li Lin is a virtuous daughter-in-law, and she is even happier for her son.

Li Lin is indeed a virtuous woman, she is not smart, even a little weak, but she has a good heart.Because Zhang Lianbai made clothes and new shoes for Zhang's mother, Zhang Lianbai paid more attention to it.

Between men and women, feelings are one aspect, but value and respect are more important than feelings.

At the gate of the Hou Mansion, Li Yang brought Li Lin and Li Hong to meet them at the gate. Li Luogui was the Lord Marquis and the owner of the Hou Mansion, so naturally he was not inside.

After all, this is not Li Luo's mother-in-law, and even if it is Li Luo's mother-in-law, there is no reason for Li Luo to come out to greet her.In the capital, dignity is above any status.

In Zhang's mother's eyes, the honorable Mrs. Hou is a very kind person, and she is not as difficult to deal with as the wives of ordinary rich and noble families.Li Yangshi is handsome, but compared to the rich lady of the same age, she is a little older. After all, a man died at a young age.

So she is still a bit old, but even so, how can Mrs. Hou's gentle temperament be comparable to that of an old woman in the countryside?

In terms of age, the two of them are still a few years older than Li Yangshi, but it seems that they can even be mothers and daughters.However, Li Yang warmly took Zhang's mother's hand: "I finally hoped for you, come in quickly, has the journey been hard?"

Mrs. Zhang was a little shy and reluctant to let go, but fortunately, Li Yang's temperament was not overbearing, and she was not as reserved as she imagined before she came: "I want to visit you earlier, but my body is not good. But after taking some medicine that you asked Lian Bai to bring, it has improved a lot." Zhang's old mother is tired because of her illness, and she needs to take good care of her.

"What about you, yours, although I am a few years older than you, but the difference is not too much. We will soon be in-laws and a family." Li Yang said, "Lian Bai is a good boy, I still want to thank you You brought him up so well, that's why my sister Lin has this opportunity to show filial piety to you."

Mother Zhang was very happy to hear her praise her son like this. "Not as good as your sister Lin, look at my clothes and shoes, they are really comfortable to wear."

Not only is it comfortable, but the material is also excellent.They are all materials from Li Yang's original cloth shop, so it is really appropriate to give them away.

A group of people arrived at Yuanse Courtyard, and Li Hong's wife prepared delicious food: "Everyone is here, this is Mrs. Zhang."

Mother Zhang looked at this young and beautiful woman, and thought about what Zhang Lianbai had introduced to him: "Is this Brother Hong's daughter-in-law?

"Yes, this is my wife." Li Hong said.

Entering Li Yang's yard, Mrs. Zhang sat down and said, "Isn't the young master here? The sugar cane and strawberries he brought last time are really sweet, and the neighbors all praised them as delicious."

Li Hong's daughter-in-law smiled and said: "Brother Luo has something to do. I will come at dinner later. Speaking of strawberries, I still have them at home. I just washed them. I also like the taste of strawberries, which suits women's taste. These uncles They don't like to eat it."

Li Hong pulled Zhang Lianbai and said, "Go and sit in my yard?"

"Okay." He reluctantly looked at Li Lin a few more times before walking away.

After Li Lin left, he kindly sat next to Zhang's mother, and all the servants in the room retreated, leaving only Li Yang, Li Lin, Zhang's mother and Li Hong's wife chatting.

When eating, because the population is simple, men and women do not sit separately.This was the first time that Zhang's mother saw Li Luo, that little child, like a golden boy in the sky, she couldn't take her eyes away.He couldn't even imagine that the clever little master his son said was really just a child.

Although her son had already greeted her, she was still a little stunned when she saw Li Luo.There is no mother who doesn't like such a child, who is exquisite and outrageous, but polite.Li Luo has a noble status, even if he is a child, people dare not get close to him because of his clothes, temperament and the preciousness in his eyebrows.Moreover, in the two lives, his background was extremely noble, and his nobility came from the elegance emanating from his soul.A collection of crystallization of human wisdom.

"Ma'am, I'm Li Luo." Li Luo greeted Zhang's mother with a smile before she could speak.He was afraid that this rural woman would be embarrassed to speak.

"Luo Geer...it's really Luo Geer." Zhang Lianbai mentioned Li Luo too many times, so she was very impressed with Li Luo.

"Sit down, ma'am, you're welcome. I'm of the same generation as Brother Zhang, you just treat me like your son." Li Luo said again.

"Having a son like you, I have been blessed for several lifetimes."

"Mother, you hurt my heart by saying that." Zhang Lianbai took the opportunity to say.

The whole room laughed.

Everyone enjoyed this lunch very much.

In the afternoon, Mrs. Zhang and Zhang Lianbai went back.

Next is March 28, the wedding day of Zhang Lianbai and Li Lin.When Li Hong got married, Li Luo gave 5000 taels of silver.At that time, the betrothal money of the Hou's mansion was not enough, and later he took 1 taels from Eunuch Yu of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and now the man of the Hou's mansion had money to give Li Lin a wedding, so Li Luo did not post the money.He only took out 5 taels of silver and put it at the bottom of the box for Li Luo.

Seeing the 1000 taels given by the younger brother, Li Lin's eyes were red.Li Lin knew that the Hou Mansion was able to have what it is today, that the elder brother's wedding was so grand, and that he was able to marry Zhang Lianbai, all because of the younger brother's credit.

"Don't cry, how can you cry on a happy day?" Li Luo smiled.

Li Hong's daughter-in-law is the eldest sister-in-law, and Li Hong is Li Lin's direct brother, so she gave more generously than Li Luo, 1500 taels of silver, which is her private house.Li Hui's daughter-in-law was an aunt, and they had been with Li's family all the time. They didn't have much money, so they gave 500 taels, and the 500 taels were saved from their fingers.The third room was followed by the big room. Li Hao's wife is a quiet person, but she has the usual gifts.

The money in Li Fugong's house is with Mrs. Li, and when the granddaughter gets married, the government takes out 1000 taels of silver.According to Mrs. Li's intentions, how could she give it to him? It's because Mrs. Li watched over it.

Mrs. Li didn't need to go to court, but unexpectedly became shrewd.
