Turn left and pass the screen door, which is the outer courtyard.On the left hand side of the outer courtyard are seven sitting rooms. There is a moon gate on the west wall facing the screen door. There is also a small courtyard inside. From a distance, there are also two rooms on the left side of the courtyard.

Lin Qiao turned to the right, went up the steps, and entered the Hanging Flower Gate, which was a gable, and after that was the inner courtyard, with a corridor connecting the main building and the east and west wing rooms.

There are five main rooms, and three side rooms on the left and right.There are also five east and west wing rooms.There is a tree at each corner of the inner courtyard.

Behind it should be the back room. Lin Qiao was a little tired, and it was almost dark, so he didn't bother to look.

At this time, Mrs. Liu had recovered a lot, and hurriedly led Lin Qiao to rest in the main room of the main house.

Entering the main room, I saw an Eight Immortals table facing the door and against the middle wall, with a Taishi chair on each side of the table.Between the square table and the wall is an altar.

At the beginning of the Eight Immortals Table, there are four armchairs on the left and right sides, and a small table between the two armchairs.

The floor is covered with flat bluestone floor tiles.There is a wooden garden gate on the east and west walls of the main room, connecting the four rooms in the east and west. The west room next to the main room is the dining room, and the west room is the bedroom.

The east room next to the main room is the study room, and the east room is also the bedroom.There are screens behind the round doors leading to the dining room and the study to block the view and preserve privacy.

Lin Qiao took Brother Zhuzi into the east bedroom, and saw that the inside was divided into two by a carved wooden wall, and there was a kang in the outer room by the south window. There is a mat made of poles, and there is a low table on the mat.

There is a Duobao Pavilion facing the kang against the carved wooden wall.There is a round door in the carved wooden wall, leading to the inner room.

In the inner room is a large wardrobe against the carved wooden wall, a large canopy bed on the east wall, and a couch against the north window.

There is a screen on the east side of the couch and north side of the bed, which covers the door leading to the side room which is the clean room.

The house was kept very clean, which shows that Mrs. Liu is diligent in cleaning on weekdays.

The house was beautifully built, and Lin Qiao was very happy. He dragged Zhuzi back to the main room, and pushed him to sit on the chair next to the Eight Immortals table.

Brother Zhuzi didn't dare to sit, saying that it was the host's place to sit.

Lin Qiao smiled and said, "From now on, you are also the owner of this house, half of this house is yours."

In Lin Qiao's view, in this world, there is no one else who can share everything with him except Brother Zhuzi.

Brother Zhuzi is calm on the surface, but he is ecstatic in his heart. Xiaobai, this is... you accept me?

But no matter how happy he was, he didn't dare to show it, for fear that Xiao Bai would not like it.

Mrs. Liu quickly served the tea, and the tea set was bought by Lin Qiao before.When I bought it, I thought it was pretty good-looking, but looking at it now, I feel that it is not suitable for this house and this furniture.

You see, people are so fickle.

No matter how much I liked it at the beginning, after going out to see it, and looking back, I will feel that it is nothing more than that.

Lin Qiao thought to himself, Brother Zhuzi, in the military camp, you think I'm so good, but when you go outside, when you see better people, you will think that you only liked me once.

Lin Qiao hoped that brother Zhuzi would realize this earlier, and then find a girl to marry and have children.

But although he wanted to keep a distance from Brother Zhuzi, he couldn't help but share all the good things with Brother Zhuzi.

Maybe this is wrong, and it will make Brother Zhuzi stuck in it, unwilling to go out and see those better things.

But Lin Qiao just couldn't control himself, and he also felt that he was very contradictory. On the one hand, he hoped that Brother Zhuzi would stop liking him, and that Brother Zhuzi would find a better woman.

But on the other hand, he hoped that Brother Zhuzi would stay by his side and share everything with him.

Er Niu and Liu Cai finished unloading the car, and just as the meal was ready, they came over to ask Lin Qiao to eat.

Entering the dining room, Lin Qiao was a little surprised when he saw a table of dishes, "It's ready so soon?"

Liu's eyes were red from crying, and said nervously, "I didn't do this, it was the second sister-in-law Gu. During the year when the young master was away, I lived alone on the mountain. I was afraid at night, and the second sister-in-law Gu often came to accompany me. And help me with some work."

Seeing that Lin Qiao wasn't unhappy, she continued, "Second Sister-in-law Gu's cooking is delicious, and she's the one who cooked tonight's meal."

Lin Qiao asked everyone to sit down, and then said to Mrs. Liu, "Also ask Second Aunt Gu to come over for dinner."

Mrs. Liu was even more worried, "Master, the man of the second sister-in-law... was killed by a tiger last year, and her husband's family said that she was Kefu, and drove her mother and daughter out..."

Seeing that Lin Qiao still didn't show any displeasure, he said again, "Young master, the second sister-in-law Gu is really not the nemesis. Her man broke his leg when he was a child. Later, when he was drafted into the army, everyone said that officials should not be disabled. Second sister-in-law and her mother-in-law didn't want to grow up. When the son became a soldier, let the second sister-in-law and the others replace Ding Yinzi.

The second sister-in-law and the others had no money, and when they heard that deer antlers were valuable, they went to the deep mountains to look for deer.The deer was found, and the second sister-in-law and his wife were both injured. The second sister-in-law still had a big scar on her face, but the deer and antler were only worth 20 taels of silver. 30 taels of silver for Ding Ding, but the ten taels that can be borrowed have to be repaid by the second sister-in-law and his wife.

The second sister-in-law's male health is getting worse and worse, and she has been unable to repay the ten taels, and the elder sister-in-law's family is forcing her to pay back because she also wants to contribute to the small silver.

The second sister-in-law had no choice but to go to the mountains to look for deer antlers, but was eaten by a tiger.Unable to pay back the money, Mrs. Gu wanted to sell her second sister-in-law, but because of the scars on her face, no one wanted her, so she sold her second sister-in-law's son and daughter for ten taels of silver. The second sister-in-law rushed out. "

If it weren't for the fact that the people here were Han Chinese at a glance, Lin Qiao would have thought that he had entered Hugo's tragic world. How could everyone he met during this period of time be so miserable?

"Her in-law's family treats her like this, and the village chief doesn't care?"

Liu lived alone on the mountain and had little contact with the village. Lin Qiao was worried that she would be cheated.

Liu said sadly, "In order not to be drafted, there are many people who sell their sons and daughters."

yes!Every household is worried about conscription, who can control whom?The village head's family paid two bucks as usual.

"She lives here now?"

Mrs. Liu became frightened, "Yes, living in an old house. Young master, I know this is wrong, and I shouldn't make my own decisions. But the second sister-in-law has nowhere to go, she is pregnant, sick, and sleeping in a cave, I don't care. , she will die!"

"She was kicked out while she was pregnant?" Does this husband's family still have humanity?Lin Qiao couldn't believe that such a thing actually existed in the world.

Mrs. Liu hurriedly explained, "It was more than five months ago, and the second sister-in-law was sad about her husband and children, and no one in the husband's family cared about her. She didn't even know she was pregnant. I found out about it only after I hired a doctor for her." thing."

Is there really such a miserable life?Lin Qiao covered her head and said to Mrs. Liu, "I don't blame you, let her live, treat her better, and her children, don't hurt them anymore."

Mrs. Liu kept thanking her, then ran out, came back after a while, and put a bag on the table, "Master, I have paid off the money for the house and furniture, and the 100 taels you gave me is all that is left, Master." It's one o'clock."

Looking at the size of the bag, Lin Qiao reckoned that there was at least 70 taels in the bag, and couldn't help but sigh, this Liu's character is really good.

Lin Qiao glanced at Liu Cai and said, "You are free now. I will cancel Liu's deed of sale at the county government office. You and your wife can go home and live with this money!"

Both Liu and his wife cried and knelt down, "My lord, the little one doesn't want money. I said that I want to be an ox or a horse to repay my kindness. The little one wants to stay and serve you."

"Master, I don't want to go either."

Lin Qiao has seen how much the ancients valued oaths, since they are willing to stay, let's stay!They are like this, life will be difficult after returning home, it is better to stay with him.

"If you want to stay, you can stay! Liu Cai, you should be the accountant. Mrs. Liu is in charge of the family affairs. As for your deed of sale, you can ask Mr. Bo and see what he says! If you want to leave one day, The money will be returned to you."

Lin Qiao took the bag, counted the money inside, and was surprised, there were 90 taels!

"Mr. Liu, how did you live this year, and why did you only spend ten taels?"

Even if you have a place to live, you don’t have to pay rent, but you still need money for food and clothing.If you are sick, you need to pay for medical treatment and medicine.And the second sister-in-law Gu, it costs money to have a baby!

Mrs. Liu thought for a while, and then said, "When the young master left, there was still a lot of food, bacon, and cloth. You don't need to buy these. It's just that it took a while for the second sister-in-law Gu to see a doctor, raise a baby, and confine her. silver."

All right!Money is spent on other people.

Lin Qiao sighed, took out a ten tael of silver, and said, "These ten taels will buy some tonic for Liu Cai. The rest will be credited first, and I will give it to you when you leave someday."

After talking about the Lius and his wife, Lin Qiao asked about building the house back then.

Mrs. Liu explained everything she knew in detail.When the house was being built, Gu Hai was there all the time, and Hu Dahe and the village head also came to see it from time to time, but no one dared to make trouble.

Because Zhou Hu paid for all the projects, he didn't even need to prepare meals. Mrs. Liu only needed to boil some tea for the craftsmen and small workers, so she didn't feel tired.

After talking about these trivial matters, Lin Qiao was too tired to eat.But looking at Brother Zhu who had been standing by the side all the time, he could only pull himself together, pulled him to sit down, and said to Mrs. Liu, "I will arrange a room for Er Niu in the west wing later, and now we all come over for dinner."

After eating, Lin Qiao sat slumped on the armchair and didn't want to move at all. The amount of information he received today was a bit too much, and he was really tired physically and mentally.

Brother Zhuzi went out for a while, and when he came back, he squatted in front of the chair, met Lin Qiao's eyes, and smiled, "You're tired! Go take a bath before going to sleep."

Lin Qiao was half-embraced and half-pushed by brother Zhuzi into the clean room of the east room. There was a large bathtub in the room, emitting white steam.Seeing this, Lin Qiao finally regained some energy. He hasn't had a good bath for more than a year.

He took off his clothes in a few strokes, jumped into the tub, rested his head on the edge of the tub, and stretched out his body. It was so comfortable!Just a little bit hot!

He waited for a long time, but he didn't see Brother Zhuzi coming. He turned his head and asked, "Brother, why don't you come in?"

I saw brother Zhuzi blushing and looking straight at him.

MD, Lin Qiao cursed inwardly, and forgot again!Men and men are different, you know!

This is not a bathhouse in the college days, dozens of naked boys, you rub my back, I rub your shoulders, and occasionally make a joke, comparing the size of the birds.

He hadn't known then that there was such a thing as a man loving a man.After graduating from graduate school, he was surrounded by rotten women, and only then did he know what male and female cp is, and what is attack and shou.
