Ji Danqing returned to Danqing House one step ahead of them, because she had heard Meimei talk about Shu Huan's dismissal, and expected that she would come to the door again, so when Shu Huan arrived, the servant led her in without notifying her.
Danqingju is still the same as before, as if it has not changed at all, but when he set foot again, Shu Huan's mood has changed, and he is more and more envious of this place, as if the door is closed, all the hustle and bustle of the world can be blocked out, and it will never change quiet courtyard.
"Thank you, Doctor Ji, for your help."
When Shu Huan entered the door, he saluted generously and thanked him sincerely.
Ji Danqing was still so gentle: "Going to the doctor to see a doctor is a matter of my duty, and I should not thank you."
He and Shu Huan have a half-teacher friendship, so naturally Shu Huan doesn't need to be overly polite, he laughed out loud when he heard him say this: "Doctor Ji just reminded me that I have to pay the consultation fee."
As she spoke, she hurriedly asked for money, not because she felt that Ji Danqing was greedy for the money, but because she understood that this is how he behaved. guilty, to cover up the past.
But Ji Danqing stopped her and said: "Don't worry, this account will be recorded in Gu's account, and someone will come to settle the money every quarter. I am embarrassed to earn an extra share."
Now Shu Huan is far away from those rivalries and intrigues, and he is relatively free and easy, so he no longer entangles with this matter at the moment, but just asks Ji Danqing if there is any house for rent nearby. This situation is vaguely familiar, as if for Du Qiu asked this question before, but now it was her turn to ask, and it was embarrassing to think about it.
Ji Danqing replied that he had asked the old servant at home to go out to inquire, and then promised to find a way for her to find a way to separate her household registration. The two were sitting and drinking tea and talking. Du Qiu and Du's mother who boarded in Danqingju heard When she came, they all rushed out to meet her.
When Mother Du opened her mouth, she first asked Aunt Yun how she was doing, and asked Shu Huan to take care of her.
Shu Huan smiled slightly and said, "She's pretty good, but now that I'm no longer in the Gu family, it's impossible to take care of her."
Mother Du was shocked, and when she asked why, she was overwhelmed with emotion for a while, but didn't know what to say. Her psychology is very complicated. On the one hand, she feels that if Shu Huan is divorced, her daughter may have the hope of being favored. On the other hand, she feels that her thoughts are too despicable and shameless. If you marry a wife again, you don't know what kind of character her wife is, and you are extremely worried.
Du Qiu's expression changed: "Then you..."
In fact, Shu Huan didn't take being suspended very seriously, but other people always took it seriously and felt that it was very serious, which made her very embarrassed, so she lowered her head and smiled: "Isn't this just asking Doctor Ji to help find him?" Is there a place to stay?"
Just talking about this, the old servant who was ordered by Ji Danqing to inquire came back, saying that there is no rented house nearby, but there is a suitable small courtyard in Luohua Lane, which is farther away, enough to make you feel comfortable The four masters and servants live temporarily, and the rent they ask for is not bad, only two taels of silver per month.
The monthly rent is two taels of silver, which is actually a bit expensive, but after hearing the old servant say that the place is quiet and the alley is not far from the street, Shu Huan decided to go and have a look, after all, it is getting late , if she can't rent the house as soon as possible, she can only take three servant girls to live in the inn. Go and have a look first.
Ji Danqing didn't leave her behind, and just said: "Don't be polite if you have something to do, just come to the door."
But Du Qiu insisted on going along, saying that he couldn't help with other things, but he could still make up with the errands.
A group of people went out to the south and walked through the streets and alleys under the leadership of the old servant. It was really a bit far. After walking for half an hour, they arrived at the so-called Luohua Alley. In fact, Yingzhiqi is not that kind of thing at all. It is only named because there are a few cherry blossoms planted in the alley.
The old servant said as he walked: "All the people living in the back and forth of the alley are ordinary families with relatively well-to-do families, and there are no idlers."
Meijing was a little excited: "I don't know if the cherry blossoms will bear delicious cherries."
Her words made everyone laugh, and she wanted to humiliate her and said: "Sister Meimei, have you ever seen longan growing on an osmanthus tree?"
Liang Chen also laughed: "It's a pity that you are still from a poor family, if this continues, you won't even know the five grains."
"You..." Meimei was extremely embarrassed, and she kept muttering to herself all the way: "I have never planted it before, how would I know..."
This naturally caused people to laugh again.
Shu Huan was afraid that these maids would suffer if they came out with her. After all, the living conditions of the Gu family are very good. Not to mention the clothes of the four seasons, even the monthly money, the big maids have one or two a month. It wouldn't be so comfortable, but seeing that they were more youthful than usual, she thought that maybe taking them out would not be too selfish.
The rented house is at the end of the alley, which is quieter than the alley entrance. After knocking on the door, a young man who stayed in the yard came out to answer the door. Shu Huan went in and saw that there was also a plant planted in the small front yard. Cherry blossoms, it’s just not in the blooming season, so it doesn’t look very conspicuous. Other than that, there are three north rooms, four wing rooms, and a clean kitchen. The rooms are not too small, but the layout is bigger than that of Shengmei Pavilion. It is much smaller, but it has all the necessary household items. If there is any inconvenience, it is that there is no well in the courtyard. If you want to use water, you have to go to the well at the entrance of the alley.
"Very good, let's go here."
Seeing that it was going to be dark in less than two hours, Shu Huan didn't want to pick and choose. After asking the boy who looked at the house some things, he decided to rent it. Go to the head of the village to inform, but this young man can go back to his home directly after handing over the house, and Shu Huan can move in immediately, which is cheap.
After renting the yard, when I heard that Shu Huan asked them to choose a room at will, and they could sleep in one room alone, Xinxin cheered first. She didn't like the restraint of living in the same room when she was in Gu's house, she always felt a little uncomfortable, good days and beautiful scenery are nothing Overwhelmed with joy, Jingmei still timidly said: "I'm afraid to sleep alone, can I share a room with Liangchen?"
Do everything by yourself, there are no rules, everything is negotiable
Sending off the old servant of the Ji family, Du Qiu immediately helped to clean and fill the water tank, and said that he would go out to help them buy rice and firewood. Answering the door, while it was still dark, I rushed to the silver building first, and asked the shopkeeper to order two silver hairpins and a pair of silver bracelets.
Since she was talking to the shopkeeper in secret, Xinxin and Meijing didn't know what she said, they just wondered how she fell in love with silver jewelry when she kept those gold and jade jewelry away.
Naturally, Shu Huan would not explain that he wanted to use relatively inconspicuous silver jewelry to hide things. After finishing the work, he took them to the bank and planned to store some jewelry and silver coins he had deposited there, as well as two shops. Take out the deed.
It's not that she acts too petty, and she needs to keep valuables by her side to be at ease, but that in these days, there is no interest for depositing money in the bank, and you have to pay for it. Although there is a lot of money, but with three maids, and God knows what will happen in the future, they still need to live on a budget.
