The next day, all officials took a day off, and the direct court also took a day off.
In the morning, Qingtou led two strong servants to the inn and took Xuyu to Yongningfang.
He had been looking forward to moving here for a long time. Not only had he no hope of this before, but he was also worried that he would be sent to Pei Gong because of his rash words. Unexpectedly, his luck changed in a moment.
Just last night in the second half of the night, the young master came back from outside, and for some reason, he suddenly said that he wanted to move, not only that, but he also wanted to move with that young young master Ye. He was so excited about the future that he didn't sleep well the whole second half of the night. The Wugenfang gate had just opened, and the sky was still dark, he got up, wishing he could drive the master out of the door immediately so that he could roll up his bedding and move over.
This house is located in the southwest corner of the neighborhood, which is convenient for entry and exit, and also avoids the noise of the cross street. While still on the way, Qingtou had already told her everything about the past and present of this new residence.
This is the old house of the Pei family in Beijing, where Pei Langjun was born and raised. After the Pei family changed, this house changed hands several times in the past 20 years. The previous owner was an old king from the royal family. According to Qingtou's description, the old king lived a luxurious life, and a meal would cost tens of thousands of coins, which was nothing at all. He specially kept hundreds of beautiful maids at home, who were almost the same height, weight and thinness, and did nothing else but hold lamps. Whenever he held a banquet to entertain guests, he asked these hundreds of maids to replace the candle holders and hold the lampstands to illuminate the living room, and they were called "lamp maids". In winter, when the wind was cold, he picked many fat maids to gather around him to block the wind, which was called "meat formation". When his hands were cold, he asked the beautiful prostitutes to warm them by the fire first. When they were warm, he would put his hands on his chest to keep warm, which was called "warm bag". He was arrogant and extravagant, and he was so extravagant. Three years ago, he was reported to be dissatisfied with his lack of power and took advantage of the war between the imperial court and the Western Regions to secretly contact the heir of the former crown prince, Prince Xiu, who was a governor outside the capital, to plot a rebellion. Before he could commit the rebellion, he was sentenced to death by the sage, and all his property was confiscated. This house was once again ownerless and has been vacant ever since.
When Qingtou talked about these things, besides feeling contempt, he couldn't help but secretly feel a bit of envy.
He was still young and had never eaten meat, so he didn't know how intoxicating and wonderful it was. He had no interest in lamp maids, meat arrays, warm bags, and the like. When he came to clean up the place early in the morning, although he was busy like a top, he still secretly searched around here and there, hoping to find some treasures that were missed when the house was searched before.
Unfortunately, although the house was big, it had been rebuilt by the dead old king with a tower in the east and a pavilion in the west. It was like walking in a maze. He could not find any gold, silver or treasures, not even a single copper coin. This really disappointed him.
At this moment, as he led Xuyu through the courtyard, around the winding corridors, and finally into the place called Zimingyuan that had been prepared for her to live in early in the morning, he had already begun to worry in his heart about how the master would afford the support of this mansion in the future.
Pei Langjun lived a simple life and had no extra money. His total salary was not as much as He Amu's private money.
The most valuable thing on his body was a golden belt issued by the government to match his official robes. It was said that if it was lost, he would have to pay for it himself. Therefore, Qingtou always paid special attention when packing up before, fearing that he would have to spend money if it was lost. Now that he was accompanying Ye Xiaolangjun here, he looked again at this honeycomb-like house that cost money everywhere, and felt that he finally understood why his husband was unwilling to move in before.
