Just now, looking through the open door to the yard inside, I felt that he couldn't afford the rent.
Looking in from the outside, you can actually see the screen wall. There are quite a few houses inside and the courtyard in the middle is also very large.
"Ha! The house bought by the Gu family is not small! Can't you get a lot of money?" Ye's mother was very envious of the house. There were only a few people in the Sun family, living in such a big house was a waste.
There are a lot of expenses in the capital, and in her opinion, she still has to save money. However, her pickle business is doing well, and her daughter-in-law's dowry is also large. This house may be the dowry brought by the Gu family.
In her mind, no matter how good the Ye family's pickle business is, they can't afford such a house.
For the Sun family to be able to find such wealthy in-laws as the Gu family, it was really a blessing in their past life.
On the day Gu Wan got married, who wouldn't envy the forty-eight-dollar dowry? If you marry a girl, you only give that much dowry, but if you marry a daughter-in-law, don't you get more?
She glanced at Ye Zhiqiu. Her son was also good-looking and well-motivated in his studies, but it was a pity that the Gu family did not like her son.
When Ye Zhiqiu heard this, he hurriedly gave Ye Mu a hand, "Don't talk nonsense, the Sun family bought it themselves. The Sun family has also saved a lot of savings in the past two years."
He heard Gu Chengyu say that he helped buy the house and Sun Xian paid for it himself. His mother had misunderstood the dowry of the daughter-in-law who lived in the Sun family. She couldn't say this. If the Sun family heard it, she might
Fall out.
Ye's mother was told by her son, and then she said: "It's true that I misunderstood."
But he was thinking in his heart that the Sun family was actually the in-laws of the Gu family, so Wulang of the Gu family thought of ways to make money.
Her family still relies on her and her daughter's embroidery to earn money. Fortunately, they heard that Gu Wan will open an embroidery workshop in the capital. Otherwise, even if he takes work from other embroidery workshops in the capital, he may not be able to give a fair price.
"Xiaobao! Why don't you ask the Ye family to come down and have a cup of tea? Isn't it better to hang people in the carriage?" Gu Wan watched the things being moved into the house, and then she remembered that her family was still on the carriage.
"Look, your house hasn't been packed up yet. Where is there a place to sit? We're leaving now. You guys need to pack up at home first. I've already packed up my place. You can move in with your luggage. Let the Ye family stay with me first.
You have settled down in my house, you have tidied up, and you can invite me to be our guest in two days."
Gu Chengyu looked at the messy house and felt that there was no place to start. It might not be appropriate to just invite people in like this.
Sun Xian also felt that this look was inappropriate. He and Gu Chengyu planned to give Ye Zhiqiu a favor first, and wait a few days before inviting someone to visit him.
After the two of them finished talking, they left the house. Gu Chengyu had already transferred people of Ding generation to his house, and when he returned, he asked someone to help Gu Wan's family clean up.
"Junior brother Ye! I'm so sorry. There is a mess at home today. Junior brother Ye and Chengyu will go to his house to settle down first. I'll clean up here. Then I'll invite junior brother Ye, aunt, and younger sister of the Ye family to try the craftsmanship of my mother and Zhuo Jing.
."
Sun Xian looked at Ye Zhiqiu and said apologetically.
"What did Senior Brother Sun say? I just came here today, and the house must be tidied up. Let's talk about it some other time. I'm just waiting to try my aunt's and theirs' craftsmanship."
Of course, Ye Zhiqiu wouldn't think it was a slight. After all, the house was in a mess, so how could he disturb it?
Gu Chengyu dismissed the drivers of the carriages and led Ye Zhiqiu's family towards his house.
Gu Chengyu looked at the scenery along the way and wrote down the route. About two quarters of an hour later, Gu Chengyu and the others arrived at the gate of the third courtyard.
In fact, saying it is not far from Sun's house is only a relative term. It still takes two-quarters of an hour to walk by carriage. This was not far in ancient times. It was considered close! I used to go to the town in Shanngling Village.
It takes a quarter of an hour or two by carriage! It’s not that far.
Shangling Village is relatively close to the town. From other remote villages, it takes almost an hour or two to get to the town.
Gu Chengyu looked at this three-entry house. At this time, the door had been opened, and the servants in the house were standing at the door with their heads bowed, lined up neatly.
Gu Wanqian was the first to jump out of the carriage and shouted to the servants: "Our young master is back!"
In addition to the D-generation servants, there are also several women in the house, some of whom work in the big kitchen, and some of whom clean the courtyard. The concierge is a man in his thirties. These are all the women who came to the house after Gu Chengyu returned to his hometown.
Gu Wanqian bought a servant in the capital.
Gu Chengyu got off the carriage, took a look at the neatly arranged servants, and found that there was a new face in the house. This person should have been chosen by Gu Wanqian. Of course, it was originally his order.
The servants all hurriedly saluted and said hello in unison. Those who had never seen Gu Chengyu in person had also seen his portrait, so as not to recognize the wrong master.
Gu Chengyu nodded and glanced at the Sanjin house in front of him. The house was very big, and it was divided into a front and a backyard. You can only know the other things after entering. However, in the Sanjin yard, there is a verandah, a garden is indispensable, and there are many houses.
It's amazing, it's really big for him to live alone.
Mother Ye and Sister Ye were stunned when they looked at the house in front of them. The Sun family house they just saw was incomparable to the house in front of them. Although they haven't gone in to see it yet, the house is very big at first glance.
No one in the room will feel crowded.
"Senior Brother Ye, Auntie and Second Sister Ye, come in and take a look!" Gu Chengyu called the Ye family because they had discussed it before.
Ye Zhiqiu has just arrived in the capital and will definitely not be able to find a suitable place to rent, so he will temporarily stay in his house for the next few days.
The Ye family is different from the Sun family. The Sun family are in-laws, so he can make the decision to buy the house. If the Ye family wants to rent a yard, it would be best if Ye Zhiqiu takes a fancy to it.
At the stall where a few people were talking, there was a woman who respectfully led Gu Chengyu and the others in. As for the carriage, of course Yu Baizi and Gu Wanqian took charge of the arrangement and dispatched the driver.
The house is said to have three entrances, but it is very large. It is no worse than the ordinary four-entry house. After walking through the front yard and arriving at the back two entrances, except for the main house at the last entrance, the rest are divided into four small courtyards.
and a few scattered rooms. This was designed by the original owner. Maybe there were many children in the family, so they separated them into separate courtyards.
There is also a garden, rockery, and pond in the house. The pond is connected to the lake outside. This is not a pool of stagnant water, but a flowing water source.
Gu Chengyu was very satisfied with the house, but he was a little regretful that his parents refused to go to Beijing together. He was the only master of such a big house, and the other houses were left to collect dust.
"This house is really big!" Ye Zhiqiu and the others followed Gu Chengyu straight to the second entrance and did not go inside. That was where the host's female relatives lived. Although there were no female relatives yet, as guests, they would probably live there.
In the second entrance.
"Young Master, this old slave has finally met you." Mother Liang was at the door just now, but there were so many people that it was difficult to go up to see him alone.
"It turns out to be Mother Liang. She has been missing for a long time." Gu Chengyu had already seen Mother Liang, and it was he who transferred her to the capital to manage the inner house.
