After a while, a little servant girl came over, wearing an ordinary cotton skirt, she seemed to be younger than Gentiana Qin, only eleven or twelve years old, and said with a smile: "A Song asked Mr. Chen, how are you, my lady. Our old lady Just got up, come with me."

Entering through the nearest corner gate, Li's Mansion is not as magnificent as Qin Geng imagined, nor is it very big, but there are several courtyards, and the houses are a little taller. They are all two or three-story buildings, which look much bigger than others. The bungalow looks richer.Along the way, apart from the servants who waited on the flowers and plants, there were no other servants to be seen, and it was not like the piles of maids and women in Qin Geng's imagination of the Dream of the Red Chamber.So it is not the setting of local tyrants to do the dock business?

Also, the last time I met their mother and daughter in the wilderness, and I didn't see any servants, they looked ordinary, which was strange.

With doubts, Gentiana Qin and Chen Pi walked around several courtyards, came to the backyard, opened the curtain and entered, and saw the old lady sitting in the middle, dressed as usual, she could be called plain, with only a few silver jewelry from head to toe.Qin Geng guessed that this was probably a well-off family in the Republic of China?

Seeing the two of them coming in, the aunt over there cheered up: "Oh, little lady, I really didn't expect to see you again." She told the woman next to her to watch the tea.

Qin Jia hurriedly thanked: "Hello, old lady. I really bothered you this time."

"Hey, it's not an interruption. My day is very boring. It's interesting to have new customers say hello."

"The old lady is really warm-hearted."

"Hey, don't be too polite. Yesterday my kid was ignorant and didn't know anything, so he took the job of renting a house. When he comes back, I will ask, what are your plans, what kind of place do you plan to live in, and what do you want to do for a living? , I have to get close to somewhere, oops, I don’t know, I’m so angry. I said it’s not okay, you take care of everything, and it counts when things are done, otherwise it’s not decent. Fortunately, the family used to be big, but now the family There are fewer people, and there are fewer houses to use. No, the small courtyard on the south side is suitable for you two young people to live in. You see, do you think it is okay?"

Come on, that Liu Shunzi seems to be a slave to the master, talking about his mouth and slipping away.Qin Gentiana smiled and said: "There is a well with a land, and it faces south, so the ventilation and lighting are good. It's very good."

"It's good if you are satisfied. Then this matter is considered complete, and my little boy is not ashamed. You stay here, and when you find a job and have a fixed income, you can see whether to find another place or live longer. Now Just treat it as friends and relatives coming to play, and just live here casually."

This is really a bargain, but Qin Gentiana did not dare to be so greedy, so he reluctantly asked: "How can this be done? Old madam, you still have to give some, no matter what, you have to give some, and you dare not occupy a yard for no reason."

"That's not the way to say it. The courtyard is empty if it is empty. Now that you live in it, it is considered popular. I invite you to take care of the house."

"If you say that, we are even more embarrassed." Qin Geng felt more and more embarrassed, not receiving rewards for nothing, greedy for cheap and afraid of nothing good, so he had to find a place to live by himself.

The old lady looked at Qin Gentiana's face, it was a 12-difficult look, she thought to herself that she shouldn't be too tight, so she said softly, "Look at your embarrassment, it's my fault. I just see you two are young. Light, I am worried that you will not be able to continue. Don’t think that life is so simple. Everything you need can make your hair fall out of worry. Why don’t you live here first, find a good job, and get rid of daily expenses. Look at it for a month How much is left, how about we discuss the rent at that time? If it is difficult, it will be less, if it is surplus, then I will not be polite."

It's okay to say so, because I don't have much money left, so I can have a place to stay, and I can do everything with peace of mind.Thinking of this, Qin Gentiana finally nodded: "That's really thanks to the old lady. We must take as much as we have."

The old lady smiled: "It's good if you have the heart. Our family doesn't live on the rent, so you don't have to bear the burden."

Only then did the serious matter be finalized, Qin Gentian heaved a sigh of relief, and looked at Chen Pi beside him, only to see that he was in a daze, not knowing where his mind had gone, she was the only one struggling for so long!While she was getting angry, the old lady over there asked again: "We have met twice, but I haven't heard your husband speak much. Your husband has a calm temperament. I just don't know if you two are married or not?"

Qin Geng shuddered, wouldn't suspect that the two of them eloped, after all, he was still a black household without a household registration, so don't show his feet, and hurriedly said: "Of course it's a marriage that was formed by the family since childhood. Did you get married at a young age? ?”

The old lady also seemed to have some understanding: "That's right, the house is secure. But Chang Tong said that he wants to fall in love and marry freely, and let his dead husband mess around. Look at him now, he has a dull temper. How could he The girl is willing to fall in love with him freely? If you want to arrange a blind date for him, first of all, he does not agree, and secondly, the good girl has already been booked by a smart man, who cares about your free love? If you book and meet again, the relationship will naturally form! "

Without saying a few words, Li Chen's marriage was brought up, Qin Geng didn't know what to say, so he could only laugh along with him.

"Oh, it's ridiculous to let you listen to my old lady complaining again," the old lady felt embarrassed, stopped the conversation, and ordered the maid to serve iced mung bean soup to entertain guests, "I'm old and blow There is no wind, and if you are tired, you must feel stuffy sitting in the room with me, but I have always prepared mung bean soup for you young people to cool off."

Gentiana Qin was feeling hot, there was no cool breeze, and seeing the mung bean soup was clear and cool, and was about to drink it, but the dazed Chen Pi stopped her with one hand: "In the next few days, I'm afraid my wife will feel uncomfortable. There should be no way to drink this today."

Everyone was taken aback by what he said, but it was the old lady who came to her senses: "Oh, you really shouldn't drink ice. Bring some that are at room temperature."

Qin Gentiana silently calculated, and had no choice but to put down the ice bowl, muttering: "You remember clearly."

"Otherwise? You've been making a fuss every few days, why can't you remember?" Chen Pi poked his head over and complained in a low voice.

Qin Gentian's face became hot, and she sat up straight, moving away from him.

"Then when did you get married?" The old lady looked at them for a long time, and then asked again.

Gentiana Qin was drinking tea, he almost choked and was hesitating for a moment, when Chen Pi finally came to the rescue: "It's only a few months. It's just because we're married that the family can rest assured that we'll go out alone."

"Oh, it's only been a few months, and your relationship is already so good! It's really a good marriage." The old lady joked with a smile.

"We grew up together since we were young, and our relationship was not shallow before we got married." As he spoke, Chen Pi looked a little proud, with the corners of his mouth curled up.

The old lady was taken aback, then quickly laughed and said: "It turned out that I was a childhood sweetheart, but I really envy this old lady."

Just as he was talking, there was a crisp sound from the room next to him. Before anyone asked what was going on, there was a big servant girl leading a small servant girl in quickly.

The old lady rubbed her forehead and said helplessly, "Speak, what's going on?"

The little maid fell down on her knees and started to cry, how could she be expected to say anything, it was the older one who said: "Ah Yuan was cleaning the cabinet, accidentally smashed the bottle..." He quietly raised his eyes and looked He looked at the old lady's face, but stopped talking.

"Which bottle is it?" The old lady's expression changed slightly.The big servant girl trembled and said, "It's the one in the second row and third row of the Duobao Pavilion." As soon as she said that, the old woman beside the old lady who had been hammering on the old lady's shoulder immediately said, "I'll go and have a look."

But after a while, the woman turned back and replied, "It's the olive vase with the pastel bat peach longevity pattern in Yongzheng." After she finished speaking, she lowered her head and remained silent.

The old lady's complexion changed, and she was about to speak, but she stopped, and she smiled and said to Qin Jia: "It's my fault, I've been pestering you with gossip. But I forgot that you still have to pack your luggage. Are you going to When will I move? I can send a few people here to help."

Qin Gentian knew that this was their family matter, and the outsider had to leave: "We don't have any luggage, we can come here right away, we just need to clean up the house."

"Yes, yes, it's a mess over there. You see, this matter was done in a hurry, and you didn't even clean up the house. In this way, Ah Song will guide you, and you go back to the inn to pack your things and come directly. I will send some A quick-witted woman will go and help you roughly clean it up first, as long as you can live there tonight, you can take care of the rest of the trivial things tomorrow, do you think this is feasible?"

The old lady was considerate, and Qin Gentian quickly agreed.

After leaving Li's residence, Chen Pi said: "The sun is high, you can sit in the house and rest, I remember the way, I will be back in a while."

Qin Gentian knew that he had a good memory and didn't say much, so he pulled Ah Song and said, "Then we two can be lazy, and you can sit and chat with me."
