After dressing as a widow

Lin Zhen agreed without thinking too much. After bumping on the road for seven or eight days, his bones were almost falling apart. It was a bit tiring for him to find a suitable house today, and then pack it up and live in it.

If it wasn't for Wang Qin and Huang Yuwen, he would have taken Gu Lin to the hotel.

"Well, I'll go to the dentist tomorrow and ask if there is any suitable house." I wanted to take down my luggage, but now I don't need it, and the servants of the Wang family and Huang family will send them to them later in the room.

Wang Qin turned his head to look at Chen Xing again: "Chen Xing, you too, stay with me today, and you will follow Uncle Lin when he looks for a house tomorrow. You come to Fucheng alone, don't be fooled."

Huang Yuwen also said from the side: "Wang Qin is right, you can think about other things tomorrow."

Chen Xing had a total of 40 taels of silver on him. He had received 50 taels of silver from Huang Yuwen at the beginning. He bought some rice, flour, grain and oil for the family, and took medicine for his mother, which cost him six taels of silver.

He originally wanted to keep ten taels of silver at home, but his mother was afraid that it would be inconvenient for him to have enough money outside, so she only kept the four taels of silver, and gave him the remaining 40 taels of silver.

40 taels of silver seems to be a lot, but the cost of Fucheng is also high, just like this time coming to Fucheng from Anyuan Town, if it is not for Wang Qin and Huang Yuwen's hitchhiking, the expenses on the way alone will be a few taels.

And now there are more than two months before the township examination, food, clothing, housing and transportation are all money.

Several carriages drove directly to the house that Wang Qin's parents and Huang Yuwen's parents had sent for a long time ago. The two houses were side by side, with the walls next to each other, and the servants took the luggage into the house.

The two houses were bought by the old steward before. When the local servant guarding the gate saw the old steward, he hurried up to greet him: "Steward Lu, you are here." The servant was very clever. When he saw Wang Qin next to Steward Lu, Immediately bowed down to say hello, "Little Xiaoshu greets the young master."

When buying the house, Steward Lu specially bought Xiaoshu from Renyazi, as well as servants for another family of four. Xiaoshu was in charge of guarding the gate, the women of the four were in charge of cleaning the house, and the men were in charge of guarding the yard.

Wang Qin looked at Xiao Shu, who was about the same age as himself, and said casually: "You don't need to be so polite, you are familiar with this place, and take them to put things back together."

"Yes." Seeing the real master's house for the first time, Xiao Shu didn't dare to be vague for a moment, and hurriedly ran to the servants who came with the luggage and followed Wang Qin and others, and beckoned them to take the luggage to the corresponding room.

And the bought family of four also hurried out when they heard the voices outside, and greeted Steward Lu first.

Compared with Xiaoshu's cleverness, the four members of this family are simple and honest. Steward Lu said to the woman: "This is the young master, and these three are the young master's distinguished guests. Xiaoshu has already put the luggage in the room, you can go and see again." See if there is anything missing."

"Ask your daughter-in-law to make a pot of tea."

"Yes." After passing Steward Lu's instructions, the woman's family at a loss finally found a clue, and followed Steward Lu's instructions honestly.

This house is not big, but it is in Fucheng, far from being comparable to the house in Anyuan Town.

Lin Zhen, Gu Lin, and Chen Xing are going to look at the house tomorrow, but the house they want to see is not this kind, but those small houses with a single family and a courtyard, with living rooms and a kitchen.

Wang Qin looked at them sitting in the house and said: "This yard is so big, you can all live here, why bother looking for a house and wasting money, even if I don't have enough space here, Yuwen is the only one there. .”

Lin Zhen knew this kid's temper, and he was the most frank and careless one. How could living here be the same as having his own little world, he said: "The place we rent is not far from here, when the time comes, you will still be with me. Just like in Liyu Village, you can go to Gu Lin whenever you want."

"It's just not as convenient as before." Wang Qin was a little depressed about this. When he was in Liyu Village, after all, he lived in the same courtyard, and he could see each other all day long.

Although the house is rented not far away now, it is nothing like it was then.

Lin Zhen smiled: "There are still two months, you must all go to Huaishan Academy to have a look, if the academy has started teaching, you will stay together all day."

"That's right, we still have to go to Huaishan Academy." When they escaped from Fucheng last year, a fire ignited in the Dongcheng District. Huaishan Academy is next to Dongcheng District, and the possibility of being affected It's very big, and I don't know if I have continued to teach after such a long time.

After being bumpy on the road for a few days, after a few casual chats, I washed up and rested casually.

Lin Zhen followed the young woman who made tea for them to the room prepared for him, and saw that the room was very clean, with desks, porcelain vases with a few flowers in it, and a table for entertaining guests. Chair.

Going around the screen is the sleeping room. The large canopy bed is covered with clean bed nets, and the soft bedding is neatly folded on the bed.

The woman's face was a little red, she had never seen such a good-looking brother, and said in a low voice: "Little one, wait for Lin Fulang to rest."

Lin Zhen waved his hand and yawned: "No, you go down first."

He was so exhausted that he took off his coat and shoes while talking, pulled the quilt over his body slightly, and quickly closed his eyes.

Seeing that he fell asleep so quickly, the young woman came out of the room lightly and closed the door behind her.

Lin really slept very comfortably this time, he didn't have to worry about being bumped by the carriage and couldn't sit still, and he didn't have to be restrained on the couch that could only lie on one and a half people. turn.

It's just that the muscles on the body and the buttocks are more sore.

Lin Zhen lay on the bed, rubbed his buttocks and waist vigorously, put on his clothes and shoes and went out.

This yard is not very big, the main house is the entrance, there are side rooms on both sides, and there are two servant rooms for the servants and a place to store sundries at the back.

So when Lin Zhenyi came out of the wing room, the young woman who was waiting under the eaves saw him, walked over quickly and said, "Lin Fulang, noodles, steamed buns, and rice porridge are already prepared on the stove. What do you want to use."

After a good night's sleep, except for the aches and pains in his body, Lin Zhen was in good spirits, and his cheeks were flushed with the blush after a full sleep.

He said to the young woman without hesitation: "Let's have a bowl of rice porridge, do you have pickles?"

The young woman said: "Yes, it's just that the young family cooks it for themselves, so I'm afraid it's a bit vulgar."

Lin Zhen waved his hand: "It's okay, they're all pickles, there's no such thing as vulgar or vulgar."

"I'll wash up first, and you can bring the porridge and pickles to the house for me."

The first thing Lin Zhen did when he got up was to find a toothbrush and tooth powder. After rinsing his mouth and washing his face, he realized that he really got up. Suddenly, he just got up and wanted to put the toothbrush back. Gu Lin behind him took the toothbrush and the porcelain cup filled with water from him, and put them together with his own.

Lin Zhen looked at him and asked, "Do you want to have breakfast together?"

Gu Lin nodded: "Yes."

Lin Zhen then said to the young woman in the wing room: "Please put a bowl of porridge in a big bowl, and ask for more pickles."
