Daily Life of Jiang Liuniang

Chapter 1173: The Little Swallow Who Escaped Fast

Chapter 1173 Xiaoyan’er who escaped quickly

The west side of Liu Junting’s house is adjacent to a private garden for tourists to enjoy. The area of the garden is more than four times larger than that of the house on the east side. Because the owner of the garden is not good at management and has no money to repair and maintain, the flowers and plants in the garden are sparse, like the embellishment among the weeds. There are many private gardens in and outside Kang’an City. The scenery here is not good, and since no one will come to play, a vicious circle has formed, which has made the original even more decadent.

Liu Jun looked at the walking green grass that drilled out of the stone cracks in the path, imagined the fairy days when he and Yan’er were here to enjoy the tour, recite poetry and paint, and showed a slightly silly smile on his face.

Seeing his brother like this, Liu Junting knew that he had made the right choice, “With that house and this garden, can the eldest brother still like it?”

The elder brother said to be disciplined, the three-entry house, which is half the size of Jiang’s mansion, has a garden. That mansion fits the requirements very well. There is no small garden in the house, and the large garden next to it comes to make up the number, so there is no choice. Liu Junting was so happy in his heart that he couldn’t help but want to hum a little song.

Liu Juntang nodded, “Such a wonderful idea, such a good house and garden, the second brother can also find it. How many silver taels do you need to add the two together?”

When it comes to money, Liu Junting doesn’t take it seriously, “Compared to the years when my eldest brother bought the Huijiafang house, the price of land in Kang’an has risen a lot. This house has not been built for less than two years, so it will cost 25,000 yuan as a new house. Qianliang; although the garden is not worth seeing, it is a big place, and the owner of the garden will not sell it if it does not give 55,000 taels of silver, so it has been put up for several months, and it has not been sold yet.”

The house and garden were bought and repaired, which cost more than 10,000 taels to say the least. Adding the inside and outside to one place would cost nearly 100,000 taels. Liu Juntang looked around, and spent 100,000 taels, which is quite a sum for his family. Big expense…

Seeing his brother hesitate, Liu Junting quickly persuaded him, “Brother, don’t miss this opportunity, don’t come here again. In Xicheng, there is no more suitable place to live. You go to the yamen every day to do things, and you can make do with anything, but sister-in-law is at home every day. The first beautiful man in Da Zhou, the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Le’an, who saved hundreds of thousands of people in Suzhou, married into our family. It’s not that we can’t afford it because we have no money, so why should I let my sister-in-law be wronged with you?

Of course Liu Juntang couldn’t bear to be wronged by Jiang Muyan, he patted his second brother on the shoulder and thanked, “I’ll discuss with your sister-in-law first to see if she likes it.”

After his brother walked out of the garden, Liu Junting immediately whispered to the steward behind him, “Go and pay the deposit, and settle the house and the garden.”

Even if my sister-in-law doesn’t like this place, I will not lose money if I buy it to repair the garden and then sell it or rent it out.

On the tenth day of April, Liu Juntang went to Jiang’s house, got a nod from his father-in-law, and went to the Dxianfang to look at the house with his fiancee Jiang Muyan.

Holding Liu Juntang’s arm to get out of the car, he raised his foot and stepped over the high threshold, followed him into the red lacquer double wooden door, and a very eye-catching shadow wall came into view. In the center of the shadow wall is a stone-carved red character of blessing. There is a half-circle of small gold ingots under the character, surrounded by fat koi carps. At a glance, you can tell that this is the house of a businessman.

Seeing her fiance staring at her, Jiang Muyan smiled shyly, “The owner of this shadow wall must be a sincere person.”

Yan’er has a unique eye, and she can see the character of the owner at a glance! Liu Juntang moved his eyes eagerly to her side and smiled, “It is because he is too sincere and can’t do business well that he has to sell the newly built house to fill the gap.”

Although the courtyard door was closed and there were no outsiders, it was unethical for him to stand so close to himself. Jiang Muyan’s white and tender face was slightly red, and she lightly moved her lotus steps to enter the outer courtyard through the screen door on the left.

The outer courtyard is not very spacious, with a neat row of upside-down rooms, passing through the second door and entering the inner courtyard. The inner courtyard is not too big, there are two small courtyards on the left and right, each with three main rooms and two rows of wing rooms. Go through the inner courtyard and enter the main courtyard. The main courtyard has five main rooms and two left and right side rooms. This yard is only half the size of the western yard, but it is enough to put two jars for raising lotus, and plant some flowers and plants.

The backyard is reached through the passage next to the penthouse. To the north is a row of neat rear enclosures. Liu Juntang walked beside his fiancée, watching her curiously look around, Liu Juntang’s heart was filled with happiness, and there was a smirk on his face.

Jiang Muyan looked at them one by one and was very satisfied, “This house is built very solidly, and the walls are all cut out of blue bricks. If I buy it, my parents will live in the main courtyard, and we will live in the east courtyard.”

The west courtyard is used as a guest room, and it can also be used to store her dowry. Half of the back room is used for the maids and ladies, and the other half is used as a warehouse for her dowry. Jiang Muyan turned to go to the East Courtyard, wanting to see how much the size of the main room in the East Courtyard was different from the main room in Sanduo Lane. The furniture in the new house, such as the wedding bed that has already been made, is made according to the size of the main room of Liu Mansion in Sanduo Lane. If you want to change here, you have to re-measure the size of the house and carefully arrange the arrangement of the furniture in the room. If there is anything missing, you must buy it as soon as possible.

Before she could enter the East Courtyard, Liu Juntang grabbed her hand. Jiang Muyan trembled in shock, her phoenix eyes blinked quickly, and she wanted to pull her hand back.

I liked her for more than four years, and had been engaged for more than half a year, before finally getting the opportunity to hold her hand, Liu Juntang would never let go. He held Yan’er’s hand tightly and said as calmly as possible, “Keep the house in Sanduo Lane. If your parents come to Beijing, they can live there. This house belongs to us. Let’s live in the main courtyard. Come here.”

Jiang Muyan’s scheming little head was already in a mess. She knew it was against the rules, but she couldn’t get rid of his hot big hand, and she couldn’t yell at him to let go. She could only let him take her back to the main landlord of the main courtyard. inside. The servants of Liu’s house and the maids and mother-in-law of Jiang’s house were all waiting outside the courtyard with great interest.

Here is his and Yan’er’s bridal chamber. Liu Juntang couldn’t help himself, raised his hand and gently wrapped around the slightly trembling little person, put his cheeks on her hair, and asked in a hoarse voice, “Can that sandalwood bed be placed here?”

Surrounded by his breath, Jiang Muyan turned red with a bang, and couldn’t help but said angrily, “Liu Juntang!”

Listening to her calling her name, Liu Juntang loosened his hand a little bit, but still wrapped her in his arms, and asked again, “Can you let it go?”

Jiang Muyan was so embarrassed that she was about to cry, she shortened slightly, quickly escaped from his embrace, took three steps back and leaned against the window, steadied her voice and replied, “Yes.”

The charming girl who had gone through all the hardships to be held in her arms, escaped as deftly as a swallow in the blink of an eye… Liu Juntang was more pleasantly surprised than sorry, “Everyone knows that the sixth sister runs fast, but I didn’t expect my Yan’er to run too. It’s so fast. It seems that I have to practice hard every day, and it will be bad if I can’t catch up with you.”

I haven’t gotten married yet, which one is yours, what are you chasing after me! Jiang Muyan’s face turned even redder, she quickly ran to the yard, and quickly read a few poems to calm her pounding heart, before asking dignifiedly, “This house is newly built, it’s definitely Isn’t it cheap?”
