Chapter 31: look at the yard
Lin Qingxu came back from the old man's yard and decided to put aside the reason for Su Yan's becoming a demon in the novel.
All the assumptions she made before were overturned by the old man's words. Lin Qingxu racked his brains and couldn't come up with a reason. She simply threw the problem away and waited for the follow-up development.
If the development is really similar to the plot of the novel, then she is sure that something happened later. Now that she can't understand, she simply stopped torturing herself, and turned her attention to Fang Xiu's move.
After telling Su Yan that Fang Xiu had promised to move to the town, he quickly searched for vacant courtyards in the town, and contacted several places in a short time.
Su Duan had a lot of business to deal with on the field, and Lin Qingxu, as an idler with nothing to do, took over the job of choosing the yard on his own.
In these years, the town's business has been led by a wealthy businessman like the Su family. The average economic level of the town has far surpassed that of nearby towns, and it can even be comparable to that of a big city. Living in such an environment will only lead to life. More and more comfortable, not many people choose to move in. Therefore, the distribution of vacant yards that I heard about is not concentrated.
Lin Qingxu wanted to settle the matter of the courtyard earlier, so he followed the plan of seeing two courtyards a day, even so, his legs were sore from running back and forth.
Su Yan was not at ease for the first two days, and devoted time to accompany her. Later, when she saw that she was able to inquire about matters with ease, he gave up and let her choose slowly with her own will.
Xu Chenguo does not have a strict rule for women to stay in the boudoir after marriage. Lin Qingxu was running around for several days. The Su family saw it, and there was no resistance at all. On the contrary, Yu was very interested and proposed to accompany the child the next day. My daughter-in-law will go with me, can I be a staff officer along the way?
As a junior, Su Yan, Su Rong, and Lin Qingxu have been ignored for their right to speak; how could Master Su dare to criticize his wife's words and say it again and again.
As for the highest-ranking grandfather... He was still brooding about Lin Qingxu's five unanswered questions, and wished to see this little boy who left a shadow again. He didn't say anything to Shi's proposal.
So, it's settled.
Early the next morning, Lin Qingxu and Yu's mother-in-law walked out of Su Mansion with their arms slung affectionately.
Since the "Leaf Card" incident two days ago, Yu has been in the limelight in front of several old girlfriends, and she has never forgotten the feeling of flying!
It's a pity that the daughter-in-law runs out every day because of her own mother's affairs these days. She didn't find any chance to invite her, and now she can't hold back.
"Axu, we finished watching the house in the morning, and we happened to be passing by to visit your Aunt Li's house. She came here a few days ago, didn't she invite us to see the lotus flowers in the lotus pond?"
Lin Qingxu was stunned for a moment, flipped through his memory, and remembered that the "Aunt Li" in Yu's mouth was the genial woman in purple tang-colored clothes he had seen playing the leaf card.
"Mother has made an appointment with a few aunts for a few more rounds?" Lin Qingxu asked directly without hesitation.
Yu's mind was exposed, she lightly pinched her arm angrily, and scolded her with a smile: "Why do you say it, don't you know how to save face for your mother and me?"
As soon as Yu's words came out, not only Lin Qingxu laughed, but Fang Yin and Wu Qi who were accompanying him also covered their mouths and giggled.
Lin Qingxu thought of the dozen taels of silver he won last time. He was happy and a little uncertain, and asked, "Mother, do we still win today?"
The last time she was in Su's house, it's okay to win her own territory. When she goes to someone else's house, she still wins the master's money. It seems a bit bad?
Yu's face was a tiger, inexplicably: "Why didn't you win?"
She looked at Lin Qingxu with the eyes of a young fool, and saw the dullness in her eyes, then smiled kindly, touched her head and said, "If Axu can win, we will try our best to win, if we win They cry! Haha, come on, mother believes you can do it!"
Lin Qingxu touched the unwanted beads of sweat on his forehead: "..."
What do you do when you feel stressed?
Concerned about Yu's physical fitness, the two houses that Lin Qingxu had agreed to today were not far away.
With the enthusiasm of abusing her old bestie in the afternoon, Yu took Lin Qingxu to look around in the yard. Before the host's introduction was finished, she dragged Lin Qingxu to the second one. battlefield.
When the host saw the posture of the two, he knew that there was no drama, but considering the identities of the two, he still sent the two out of the door kindly and flatteringly.
Lin Qingxu thought that Yu hurriedly pulled her away because she was thinking about the afternoon, but she didn't want to. After walking out for a while, Yu took the initiative to explain.
"That yard can't be done?" Yu shi shook his head, Lin Qingxu was wondering, she immediately threw down a long list of answers.
"The garden has been taken care of in advance, and it is convenient to deal with, but the house has obviously not been lived in for several years. The house that has been uninhabited for a long time has lost its popularity. The surface looks good, but the inside is already rotten. If you live there, the house must be renovated. It won’t be finished in a few months.”
In a house that has been unoccupied all the year round, the beams and hanging wood have long since decayed, and the walls and tiles of the house are loose, and it cannot be lived in without re-repairing.
This way, it takes more time.
Yu's mind was clear, and he could see that Lin Qingxu wanted to let Fang Xiu move to the town early, and such a house was of course not under consideration.
When Lin Qingxu heard Yu's mention, he suddenly realized that he flattered and praised Yu's eyes for being really vicious!
Yu swept her arrogantly with reluctance, her eyes seemed to say, "Of course that's the case!" Your doll is too young!
…
The second house did not have the problem of decay of the first house, and the owner of the house decided to sell it because he purchased another large yard.
Lin Qingxu walked around the yard and was quite satisfied with its structure, size and layout. After listening carefully to the introduction of the owner of the yard, Lin Qingxu classified the house as one of several alternative yards.
Although she was in charge of choosing the courtyard, it was her A-Niang Fangxiu who wanted to live. Of course, she could not make the final choice.
As a result, as soon as they went out, Yu said that the house was too small for her to look down on.
It is said that the planning in the yard is too simple, there is no pond that diverts water, but it is necessary to choose a pavilion. Otherwise, it will be boring, and there will be no chance to pass the time watching the scenery.
She even encouraged Lin Qingxu to choose a large and comfortable house. In terms of money, they would all go back to her father, Master Su, for reimbursement. Anyway, the Su family made so much money now, so they had to spend hard, don't be afraid to spend. Not finished!
When Lin Qingxu heard the words, he laughed forcefully.
She could have imagined that if she really chose a large house with several entrances and exits for Fang Xiu, her mother would not say anything, and she would first throw a "are you an idiot" at her.
Then, he packed his things in a hurry and packed them back to Hehua Village...
The two could not reach an agreement on the purchase of the house. Yu did not continue to brainwash Lin Qingxu, but instead devoted himself to the upcoming chess and card gathering.
After a simple lunch, Yu took her for a walk to Li's house.
Outside the small pavilion surrounded by water on three sides, a shading gauze tent was placed, and a large basin of ice was placed in the pavilion to dispel the summer heat.
In the pavilion, as usual, the four families from the previous two days sat on one side.
However, this time, in addition to Lin Qingxu's junior, there were three other "sit down" players on the poker table.
"Xianer, you aunties should not be unfamiliar, Axu Suyin Xiaoling, you can call Xianger's sister-in-law." Mrs. Li was in high spirits, her eyebrows were beaming, and she looked at her daughter-in-law as if she were watching a golden transfer wheel.
Seeing this, the other two women were not far behind, and introduced the "Transfer Golden Wheel" beside them one by one.
Suyin is the daughter of the fat woman Madam Jiang, one year younger than Lin Qingxu. She has a delicate appearance, but has a free-spirited and smart personality. The few words she said were like small beads colliding lightly, and the hearts of those who listened were happy.
The remaining Xiaoling, who has just turned ten years old this year, is the niece of Mrs. Zhu who brought her here. She is small, but she is not shy in front of others. Her mouth is wrapped in honey, and she pours out a pile of good taste. Good words, coaxed Yu's people into laughter.
Lin Qingxu listened quietly, feeling the ingenuity of the two little girls, and lowered his head silently, ashamed.
But it's okay, she just wins!
…
Yu Shi, who came home by the sunset, said: Today is another day of physical and mental relaxation!
