Mrs. Xing of the Red Chamber

Li Mo and the others drove out of the capital in a carriage for about an hour, and then they arrived at a relatively affluent village. Under the curious eyes of the surrounding villagers who were screaming and barking, , came to the courtyard gate in the middle of the village and stopped.

Li Mo and Xue Baochai got down from the carriage together and took a look at the yard, waiting for the stewards of the Xue family to find the owner of the house.

Li Mo took a rough look at the appearance of the house from the outside, and saw that the house located in the middle of the village was very well built, at least it was a courtyard built with green bricks and tiles.

In this village, there are also relatively wealthy families. Presumably the family who built this house should have been relatively wealthy at that time, otherwise they would not have repaired the house so well.

Li Mo and the others took a look at the exterior of the house and thought it was passable. When the owner of the house, a middle-aged country man, came over, they knew that Li Mo and the others were the ones who came to look at the house under the introduction of the intermediary. , came over to say hello with a little honesty and said:

"Hello, distinguished guests. I am the owner of this house and the head of this village. I heard that you want to buy a house. After walking such a long way, you must be tired as guests. I don't know if you want to buy a house first. Do you want to rest at my house, or look at the house right now?"

Now that they have come, even though they are a bit tired, Li Mo and the others don't want to waste any more time, so they said:

"Well, we really want to buy a house. Let's see how your house is. If it feels right, it's better to go through the formalities quickly. We have to rush back to the capital, so we don't have to go to your house, the village chief. , if there is a chance, I will have a chance to visit next time."

The middle-aged man saw that Li Mo and the others had extraordinary demeanor, obviously coming from a wealthy family, so he didn't dare to say more, but very politely took the key on his waist and opened the front door of the house, inviting Li Mo and the others Go in and have a look.

Li Mo and the others walked around the house and found that it was the same as what Xue's steward and the agent had said before. This house was indeed more suitable, and the layout of the yard was also good.

The middle-aged man saw that Li Mo and the others were expressionless, and he didn't know whether they were satisfied or not. He felt a little uneasy, and said enthusiastically:

"What do some guests think of this house? You must know that my house was originally planned to be repaired and let my family move in. Unfortunately, after I repair it,

A few days ago, my son and the others moved out to develop, and there were only a few people left in the family. It would be too big to live in this house, so I thought about selling it to raise some money for my sons, otherwise I would not be willing to sell this house up. "

Xue Baochai looked at Li Mo and Li Wan, seeing that they were both quite satisfied, so she didn't say much, and said:

"Well, your house is not bad. We bought it. Let the steward and the village chief take care of the rest!"

Hearing the affirmative answer, not only the village chief was happy, but even the intermediary smiled on his face, and watched Li Mo and the others leave in the carriage very politely.

By the time Li Mo and the others rushed back to Xue's house in the capital, it was already evening. After a few people got off the carriage, they greeted Madam Xue, and after talking about going out to find a house today, they went back to their rooms to rest. up.

Hengan and the others also knew that the house had been found. Although they were a little unhappy when they heard that the house was in the countryside, the current situation of the Jia family did not allow them to object. It would be nice to have a house for everyone to live in.

What's more, the money to buy the house was temporarily borrowed from Xue's family, and it will be repaid in the future. The rest of Jia's family never imagined that one day they would live in the muddy legs of the countryside that they had looked down upon before.

The steward of the Xue family handled the procedures for buying the house very quickly. The houses were separated and settled under the names of Li Mo, Li Wan, and Xue Baochai. Just return the corresponding part of the silver in the yard to Xue Baochai.

This is related to the house that everyone will live in in the future. If it is settled in one of the Jia family, Li Mo and Li Wan are not at ease. It is better to write their own names, otherwise they will not only pay the money, but also the house. None of them can rest assured of their own, people's hearts are changeable, even their own sons can't guarantee that they will be [-]% nice to them in the future.

In order to have someone to rely on in the future, this is what Li Mo and the others discussed in the carriage after seeing the house. Judging from the current situation of the Jia family, no one else can be relied upon.

The money for buying a house will definitely only be paid by Li Mo, Li Wan, and Xue Baochai in the future. In order to reduce disputes in the future, seize the initiative, and avoid being kicked out by others, they simply eliminate the germs of conflicts at the source. Solve it!

In the past two days, when Xue's housekeeper was helping to deal with the various procedures of the house, Li Mo and Li Wan had already taken the opportunity to deal with their respective affairs.

Using the excuse of going out to buy various things, Li Mo secretly went to the people Jia She had told her about, and brought back 2000 taels of silver. With this money, Li Mo had enough money to buy a house up.

As for the other parts, Li Mo kept it simple as long as he could. Now it is no different than before. There is no need to live like before when the Jia family did not collapse. Anyway, Li Mo will deal with ordinary people according to what they do.

In short, in Li Mo's view, it's time for Hengan and Jia Zong, who used to be pampered and pampered, to taste how ordinary people live.

In fact, their lives may not even meet the standard of living of ordinary people. Except for Li Mo who can make a small difference for himself, the hardships of the rest of the Jia family are about to come.

Although the money in his hand was enough to buy a house, Li Mo did not immediately return the money to Xue Baochai, but owed it first, and he was not in a hurry anyway.

Just taking advantage of the opportunity to owe such a large amount of money, it is also an opportunity to train Hengan and the others. This is also an opportunity to let them know that life outside is not easy, so as not to want the best for everything like before, Li Moke I don't want to be used to them anymore.

As for Li Wan, the government has already returned her dowry, and some of the money she can't find will be converted into silver to compensate her. With this money, Li Wan can actually make enough for her and Jia. The money from the courtyard where Lan lived.

However, Li Wan also didn't give Xue Baochai the money right away. She didn't know what would happen in her future life, and having money in her hand could give her some confidence.

Anyway, Xue Baochai is not short of this little money now, and he will just save the money slowly and return it to her.

In addition to these, Li Wan also took the opportunity to go back to his natal family. Although Li's father didn't like to see his widowed daughter, no one from the Li family went to visit Li Wan when Jia's house was ransacked. Clear the relationship.

But now the government has come to a conclusion on the Jia family's affairs, even Li Wan and the others have been released. At this time, Li's father is not as determined as before not to allow Li's mother and the others to contact Li Wan.

When Li Wan came to the door, although Li's father didn't go to see her, Li's mother couldn't help but went to the porter to see Li Wan's daughter.

Although it didn't help much, when I heard that Li Wan and the others were going to move to the countryside, Li's mother also secretly gave Li Wan some money, so that Li Wan would take Jia Lan to live in the countryside in the future.

When Li Wan came back from Li's house, she was a little sad because of Li's father and the others, but she was also much better. Anyway, she already knew what kind of person her father was before, and when she was in trouble, she chose to be the one who didn't. His own daughter is not too surprising.

On the third day, Li Mo and the others rented a few carriages and put all the daily necessities bought in the past few days into the carriages. The group quietly left the capital and went to the houses they bought in the suburban villages. up.

Li Mo and the others sat in the carriage with Hengan and the others. Curious all the way, Hengan and Jia Zong kept looking out of the carriage to watch the scenery on both sides of the road pass quietly by.

In the eyes of Hengan and the others, they saw the carriage getting more and more remote. After leaving the capital, there was no one except a few farmers who hurried past.

Hengan and the others said a little uneasy:

"Mother, after we move to the countryside, can't we go back to live in the capital?"

Li Mo saw that Hengan and the others looked a little uneasy, and said comfortingly:

"Don't worry, life in the country is actually pretty good. Now our family doesn't have much money to allow us to live in the capital. It's not easy to live in the capital, and the prices are too high. When you can earn money in the future, you want to move back. You can live in Beijing anytime.”

After hearing Li Mo's words, Hengan and the others not only didn't feel comforted, but felt even more sad. That is to say, they couldn't return to the capital until they couldn't earn enough money by themselves!

This is really a very tragic fact. After thinking about it for a while, Heng An and the others realized that there are still many years before they can earn money, and they don't know when they will be able to get enough money to live in the capital!
