Qin Xiu [comprehensive martial arts + sword three]

Residents living in Buyi Lane all knew that someone had recently bought the house of Qiao's family at the end of the lane, and had also heard about the recent move of the house, but no one had seen the new owner.

The few neighbors who lived nearby wanted to inquire about it when the new owner came to visit, but after waiting for a few days, there was no movement from the family, so they were a little worried.

So today, the female family members of these neighbors gathered together to chat and talked about this matter.

"Tell me, who is the new owner of this household? In the past few days, I have only seen an old woman dressed as a servant go out to buy vegetables. She looks honest, but she doesn't care about anyone." Asked by a young daughter-in-law who once met someone and wanted to go up for a conversation but was rejected.

"I saw the old man guarding the door. He must be the old woman's husband. I happened to meet the old woman going out that day. I heard them talk about some girl." Lives at Qiao's house The middle-aged woman at the door said.

"Girl?" The young daughter-in-law who spoke earlier had a strange expression on her face, "Don't you be like those people in Mao'er Hutong in the west of the city?"

Everyone in the capital knows that most of the people living in Mao'er Hutong are outhouses raised by high-ranking officials, and the female relatives of these decent families look down upon them the most.

"Don't talk nonsense, how can there be such a family in our land? If that's the case, will the Qiao family be willing to sell the house? No one will dirty the place." Someone retorted.

Not far from the entrance of Buyi Lane is the very famous Mingde Academy, so most of the people living near here are scholars.That's why they got the name of Commoner Alley here.

But even so, everyone couldn't help but guess wildly in their hearts.

"It doesn't make sense for us to think about it here. Why don't we go to that house and see what kind of family it is?"

"That's right, the new neighbors are supposed to visit them when they move in." It's just that the other party was supposed to visit them, but now it's the other way around.

"Then who will go?"

They looked at each other for a few days, and although they didn't say it clearly, they were somewhat unhappy. The people who lived in their alley were all scholars, and they took the rules very seriously. Also feel unlucky.

In the end, the middle-aged woman who lived opposite Qiao's house said, "Then I'll go, I see that the servants of that house are honest, and the master of the house should not be too bad."

Saying so, the middle-aged woman packed some things that day, carrying a basket, went to the door of her new neighbor, and knocked on the door.

After a few clicks, the door opened.

Old Xu, the gatekeeper, opened the door and saw a strange woman, so he asked, "Madam? Is there something wrong?"

The middle-aged woman had seen him before and knew it was the concierge here, so she said with a smile: "I live at the opposite door. I heard that there is a new owner here, so I came to visit your master. I wonder if the master is here?"

He stretched out his hand not to hit the smiling face, and Lao Xu saw that the opposite door behind her was wide open, and there were a few children sitting at the door watching them. The woman smiled kindly again, with something in her hand, so she also smiled: The girl is at home, I don’t know what to call my wife? I’m going to report it.”

Hearing that the owner of the house was a girl, the neighbors couldn't help but guess in their hearts, but the middle-aged woman's face remained unchanged, and she still smiled amicably: "My husband's family name is Feng."

Old Xu said, "Mrs. Feng, please wait a moment."

He turned around and went to the main room, Feng Shi stood at the door and did not go in, just looking at the courtyard in front of him.

The courtyard is very clean. She used to come and walk around when Qiao's family lived here. At that time, there was only a clump of bamboo planted in one corner of the courtyard, and there were stone tables and chairs under the bamboo. Now the bamboo, tables and chairs They are all gone. Except for the place where the well was dug, the four corners of the courtyard have been opened up and replanted with many flowers and plants, leaving only a cross path for easy passage.

Old Xu went to the main room and knocked on the door, a little girl with a round face opened the door, after a few words, the little girl with a round face went into the room, while Old Xu went back to the door to greet Mrs. Feng.

"Ma'am, my girl is here to invite you."

Feng followed him in with a smile, but secretly thought in his heart that the neighbors did not come to greet him when they visited, and only sent a servant to greet him.

If Long Wan knows that she thinks so, she will be wronged, it's not that she has a good manner, but the three servants in her family have a good manner.

Although Xiaotao's family was given to her by Mrs. He, according to Xiaotao's mother, Mrs. Xu, they used to be servants of a third-rank official family. Later, the owner of the family committed a crime and was demoted. The person was sold, and the Xu family and his wife were bought by the Changsheng Escort, and Xiaotao was born later.

In the past, it was useless to follow Mrs. He and their family, but now they have changed the master's house, and there are only three servants in the house, and the master in the house has only one girl who is still keeping a filial piety (=-=), so naturally the door is closed, and they do not communicate with other people. Too much contact with people.

As for Long Wan, no one reminded her, so naturally she would not think of visiting her neighbors. These days, she was busy planting the herbs she picked before. Now it’s not like in the game. Plant your own insurance points.

Fortunately, the herbs she collected in the past were all whole plants, and they were packaged to keep them fresh. Now that they are taken out and replanted, there is no such thing as dying.

——Of course, her herbs were planted in the gang's vegetable garden, not in the current yard. The ones in the yard were planted by Lao Xu.

Speaking back, Feng Shi followed Lao Xu into the hall of the main room, and saw a woman in plain clothes coming out from the door next to her.

When Feng saw someone coming, he opened his mouth to say something, but when he saw someone, he couldn't say anything.

Long Wan lives in her own home, so naturally she doesn't need to wear a veil anymore, she looks like the Xiaotao family who are a little used to seeing her sometimes can't help but stare dumbfounded, let alone the Feng family who saw her for the first time.

Seeing the guest staring at her in a daze, Long Wan had no choice but to say first: "Is this Mrs. Feng? The little girl's name is Long." As she said that, she folded her hands on her lower abdomen, and bowed her knees slightly to salute.

In the past few days, Mrs. Xu has made up for her a lot of rules that a daughter who has not left the court should have. Although Long Wan thinks it is a bit trivial, she has also learned it as the Romans do. Now it is the first time to use it to outsiders. Sorry.

Her face was slightly smoky, and she looked less cold and different from ordinary people. After receiving this gift, Mrs. Feng naturally came back to her senses. She only felt that this girl was not only beautiful, but also carried the dignity and dignity of a lady in every move. Qi, how can such a person be the bad look of those people's random guesses.

"Girl, you're welcome. I live in the household opposite yours. People here call me Mrs. Feng's family. If you don't mind calling me that, you can call me that." I can't do without Long Wan, "These are some snacks made by my daughter-in-law, I'll give you a taste, girl, don't be disgusted."

"How come, Mrs. Feng has a heart."

Without Long Wan's instructions, Xiaotao stepped forward to take the snacks from Feng Shi, took the snacks out, made tea and brought them back after a while.

Feng sat with Long Wan for a while, gossiped about some things in Commoner Lane, told her which people are easy to deal with and which ones are best not to be too close to, of course she didn't forget to ask about Long Wan , the most important thing is to find out how such a young girl can live alone without being married.

Naturally, Long Wan would not tell her the truth, but it was similar to what he told He Yulin. She only said that her parents had just passed away, and there was no one else in the family, and she was currently observing filial piety and did not talk about marriage.

After finally dismissing this overly enthusiastic neighbor, Long Wan sighed. She looks only seventeen or eighteen years old, and she is not regarded as an adult in modern times, but she has become an old girl here. Anyone who sees her wants to ask It is really troublesome to ask her about her marriage.

"Xiao Tao, ask your mother to prepare some food and ask her to deliver it to the neighbors later." It also prevents anyone from coming to the door.

As for her filial piety, it is naturally not good to have too much contact with these people, isn't it?

"Yes."
