Only three days after returning from Blacksmith Village, Cheng Xue was told to pack up and move.
There is an old saying, "Don't do anything on the first day of the first lunar month, otherwise you will be busy all year long." She didn't believe it before, but now she does.
"Why did you move suddenly? Have you had a good time?"
Li Hui nodded, pinched her face gently, and replied:
"I picked it up a long time ago. I asked Bai Shao to pack all the things. Let's go over there after dinner. I don't think there is anything to buy there. You can take another look. If there is anything missing,
It just so happens that the Danqingtang in the city has a lot of them in stock, so I went directly to buy them."
"good."
Cheng Xue responded and ordered Bai Wei to prepare the meal. The children were also anxious to see their new home, so they ate faster than anyone else.
Half an hour later, the family set off by car to the former Beihou Mansion, which is now the Beijing Mansion Office.
Although the house only has three entrances, it occupies a very large area. The front yard alone is enough for the government office, not to mention the residence, garden and pond in the back.
Cheng Xue thought that she had seen many mansions in the capital, but compared with the mansions there, regardless of the favorable terrain of the capital, there was really no comparison. The key point was that they had only a small family, and living in such a large back house was a bit of a waste.
.
"Dad, Mr. Su is very good at enjoying things. How much money and money did it take to build this?"
Li Heng is now studying under Xiao Song and thinks about things from the perspective of the common people. After all, he comes from a grassroots background. Coupled with Xiao Song's influence, even if he becomes a handsome man in the future, he will be a handsome man who cares for the common people.
Not to mention that he had this idea, Li Hui and Cheng Xue also had this idea.
The Northern Prefecture owes so much money on its books. Could it be that it was used to build the Marquis Mansion? However, the Su family is still standing in the capital so far. They also talked about it in the middle of the night, but no one could guess the owner.
What exactly does that mean?
"Brother, please don't shed tears while watching the drama and worry about others. No matter how much people's wealth he plunders, the harm will last for thousands of years. It's either that he won't repay it or that the time has not come yet. There must be an explanation."
Li Huai's words made Li Heng stand up. The little guy said, "Mom, please save me," and hid behind Cheng Xue like a loach. At six weeks old, he was already enlightened and was entering the school not far from here.
, it is convenient for him to go to school if his family moves there.
The school is full of children with zero basic knowledge, and they start teaching from enlightenment books such as "The Thousand-Character Classic" and "Hundred Family Surnames" every day. He learned these from his two brothers when he was four years old, but Cheng Xue did not let him skip a grade. "
It's not that she doesn't want to have a "genius boy", but it requires a child's energy and innocence, and she doesn't want to have one.
She felt very happy when she saw Li Huai happily going to school every day. Li Tian also went to the women's school, but she did not learn knowledge, but only learned six arts: piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, female celebrities, and cooking. There were no requirements.
She is very knowledgeable, just understand it.
When they arrived at the back house, everyone's eyes lit up. Li Huai grabbed his second sister's sleeves and ran forward like crazy.
It's no wonder that they have a good relationship. If he tries to drag Li Yue away, he will definitely be criticized.
"It is said that there are three entrances here, but it is actually equivalent to four entrances. There is a yard behind this rockery, and the stables are to the east. Li Heng, Yixin and the others will rest here in the future, and we and my daughter will live in the back. You three can discuss what to do.
Come on, Li Huai wants to live on his own, he can’t be a slut anymore.”
Since Li Huai's enlightenment, except for his two daughters who are still called by their nicknames, his two sons have stopped calling them by their nicknames. After all, Tiedan and Sidan are a bit indecent.
Generally, the male master of a wealthy family has his own yard, but Li Hui didn't want that. He didn't have any concubines, so why did he live apart from his wife?
Yan Yixin waited for him to finish speaking and stepped forward, cupping his hands in salute.
"Uncle, aunt, Yi Xin won't come to live here this time. The house in the south of the city has been almost repaired, and I want to move there directly. After taking the provincial examination, I will go to Beijing directly, and when I come back in the spring, I will get engaged to Tangtang."
He has been waiting for so many years, and he doesn't want to wait any longer, not to mention that the beauty has already reached her hair.
With such a straightforward statement, Li Yue quickly chased after Li Huai and Li Tian.
Li Hui didn't have any objections to this. Anyway, it was agreed at the beginning that he would make the decision on big things at home and she would make the decision on small things. There was basically no big deal in their family.
Cheng Xue looked at her daughter's shy back, thought for a moment, and said:
"Let Tiandong take Shunxi to travel tomorrow, and buy a few more people to come back. Shunxi will stay with you, and find an official matchmaker to get engaged before leaving. Don't wait for Chunwei to come back. Scholars can do it, and there is no need to be promoted or become an official.
As an official."
Knowing that he was strong, he wanted to find an official position to give Li Yue the best life. But after raising him for so many years, he seemed to be the same as Li Heng and Li Huai, so he was willing to put him under such heavy pressure.
.
Yan Yixin also understood her good intentions, saluted again and nodded heavily.
A few people continued to walk back, waiting to see all the houses. As Li Hui said, there was no need to buy anything else.
"That's great. It saves me money."
Hearing this, Li Hui hugged the person into his arms and joked:
"You are about to become a rich woman, and you still need this money?"
The single business that was copied was so big that no one dared to take over it. At least not in the northern state capital. As for those from other states... Xiao Qinglin had already sent people to nip the idea in the cradle. But he had official duties and could not stay.
Here, I left a large amount of money for Cheng Xue before I left, so I just left it alone.
Cheng Xue had never spared any time, so she had to wait until the move was completed before starting to take care of it. Otherwise, it would be a waste of money to have so many shops idle, especially when the northern state capital expanded and caravans from all over the country came over one after another.
When he returned to the government office that day, he started packing at the back house. Li Hui couldn't take care of his family at all. He left early in the morning and came back late every day in the government office to watch the government officials deliver things.
A government move is different from an individual move. Many documents, monuments, state history, etc. must be moved together, and no page can be lost. The preparations started in March, and the things were just organized recently, and the transportation still takes two days.
Cheng Xue hurriedly moved her family to the back house of the new government office on the morning of the third day.
After setting off the ten firecrackers, the banquet started.
Those who came to celebrate the housewarming were all the officials of the government, the officials, the officials, and the magistrates of the nearby counties.
After a busy day, I had no time to relax at night. I needed to sort out the gifts sent by everyone and put them in the warehouse, and record them so that I could return gifts in the future.
Li Yue felt distressed and handed over the teacup. After drinking, Cheng Xue sighed and shook her stiff neck.
"I kind of miss Pang Yao. That girl was very good at organizing these things."
I remember that when Wanghe Village moved, Pang Yao and Li Yue did this job. Now, the three of them can't do it as fast as Pang Yao and Li Yue. It's really embarrassing.
"Mom, I miss Sister Pang Yao too. I haven't seen her since we wrote the letter years ago."
"When the corn is green, ask your father to send some to the capital. Then we will send a letter to the Pang family."
"good."
The two sisters spoke in unison, and the three of them continued to write with their heads down...
