Chapter 478: Stepping through the iron shoes, there is nowhere to be found
Seeing the setting sun, the master and servant gave up the search and decided to go back to Guo Caiwei's house first and go to the outer city to search tomorrow. After all, the outer city is huge and most residential areas are concentrated in the outer city. The rental price of the houses is cheaper, so there is room for choice.
Also more.
The three of them walked south along Tianshui Lane to Bianhe Street. When they reached the south entrance of Tianshui Lane, suddenly, a person shouted from behind.
"Isn't that... Mr. Lin?"
Lin Jue and the others looked back and saw a carriage parked by the roadside. The heads of two women on both sides of the carriage looked like two meerkats, looking towards them. It happened to attract the light of the setting sun.
The powder on their faces reflected white light, and the jewelry on their heads shone so brightly that Lin Jue didn't recognize them for a moment.
"Oh my, it is Mr. Lin indeed. It is indeed found." A woman jumped out of the car and walked quickly with the wind at her feet, her face full of smiles.
Lin Jue laughed loudly and said: "Sister Danhong, oh, it's you?"
Another woman also walked over quickly, but she was Hongxiu, the current deputy foreman of the Grand Theatre.
"God bless me, I was just looking at the image, and Hong Xiu was still arguing with me. Look, who is it if it's not Mr. Lin? I can recognize it even if it turns into ashes." Xie Danhong smiled like a flower.
Lin Jue rolled his eyes. He could recognize whatever nonsense Xie Danhong said and turn it into ashes. Wasn't this a curse on himself?
Hong Xiu smiled and said: "Really, you still have poisonous eyes. The carriage passed by in a flash, how could I react?"
Lin Jue was also very happy in his heart. Since Xie Danhong came to the capital, Xie Yingying must also have arrived. He also planned to ask Lin Hu to go around the street in a few days to inquire about their whereabouts after settling down. Unexpectedly, he could not find them even after breaking through the iron shoes.
, it takes no effort to get it.
"That's great, that's great. I'll save you from searching the streets for you. Where is Yingying? When did you arrive in the capital?" Lin Juexiao asked.
"We arrived in mid-February. A large group of people came all the way to Beijing, and they suffered a lot. After arriving, I found a place to live and settled everyone. I was exhausted for more than half a month. Yingying was also very tired all day long.
I just finished settling in a few days ago. Yingying said during dinner last night that Mr. Lin didn’t know whether he had arrived or not, and he didn’t agree on a place to meet in advance. Now, we actually met on the street. What a coincidence.
.Now Yingying is happy. Many things can be decided." Xie Danhong talked to herself in a series of babbles, and it seemed that she was also very happy.
Lin Jue smiled and said: "It's been hard work. Have you settled down? Where do you live now?"
"It's not far ahead. Aren't you coming from the north? You must have passed our residence." Xie Danhong said with a smile. "Hurry up and go home. I'll definitely give Yingying a surprise."
Lin Jue chuckled, then turned back with Xie Danhong and Hong Xiu, walked north to Li Xu Land, and stopped in front of a house.
"This is it." Xie Danhong said.
Lin Jue and Green Dance Lin Hu looked at each other and laughed at the same time. Xie Danhong and Hong Xiu asked in confusion: "What's wrong? What's so funny?" Lin Jue looked at the two jujube trees in front of the house and laughed.
Said: "Hey, you really can't get in. We passed by here just now, and Lu Wu said that this house is nice, it would be great if we rented it here. I also laughed at her and said that the price of this house is too expensive,
We don’t have the money to live in such an expensive mansion. I didn’t expect you to live here. Isn’t it God’s will?”
Lu Wu smiled and said, "Thank you, Mom, you are so generous. This house is so big, so the rent must be quite high."
Xie Danhong stared and said: "Rent? The girl bought this place. She said that Tianshuijing Hutong is quiet and the location is good. This house is shared, so she spent more than 20,000 taels of silver and bought it directly."
"Buy...bought it?" Lu Wu clicked her tongue.
"Aren't you going to buy it? I specially reserved a house in the back garden for Mr. Lin to live in. It cost more than 10,000 taels of silver, and it makes me feel sick. Spending money has been like running water during this period, and I am afraid that all my savings over the years have been lost.
It’s all spent, hey! I can’t persuade you to stop it,” Xie Danhong sighed sadly.
"Now, uncle, we don't have to look for a house to live in everywhere. Sister Yingying has prepared it for you." Lin Hu said with a happy smile.
"What? Don't you have a place to stay yet? Haven't you been here for a few months? Didn't Mr. Lin say that he would serve your husband and live in your husband's house? Why are you looking for a place to live again?" Xie Danhong asked in surprise.
Lin Jue smiled and said: "Of course we have a place to live, but we are thinking of finding another shared place. The husband's house is small, so we have been living in other places. I won't say any more, I can't wait to meet Yingying.
Okay, how long are we going to stand outside?"
Xie Danhong smiled and said: "How dare you let Mr. Xie Yuang poke at the door? If Yingying knows, why don't you scold me? Please, please quickly."
Everyone entered the courtyard. It was a small courtyard, but it was simple and tidy, with green trees and shade, quiet and peaceful. Further forward were three main rooms, and the middle one was used as a hall. Beyond that was the second entrance.
A small courtyard, plus two small patios of the east and west wing rooms.
Although the house is not big, it is well-equipped. A second-level house is actually a luxury item in the capital. People who are not wealthy families cannot afford to live in such a house. Don't look at the countless officials in the capital. They all come out like five or six people.
He is a character. But in fact, their residences are very simple. Except for the wealthy families and the homes of the Prime Minister's relatives and wealthy businessmen, there are very few decent mansions. People like Fang Dunru were and are high-ranking officials in the court.
People, but they only live in an ordinary house in Yulin Lane, this is proof.
Xie Danhong said that this house was worth more than 20,000 taels of silver, but that was no exaggeration at all.
When everyone entered the back yard, two women who were busy sweeping the yard turned around and suddenly opened their eyes in surprise. These two women were Qing'er and Yan'er, the maids serving beside Xie Yingying. They were very interested in Lin Jue.
Naturally, it couldn't be more familiar. Yan'er turned her head subconsciously and shouted tremblingly towards the house behind: "Girl, girl..."
Lin Jue hurriedly waved his hands and winked.
"What's wrong? I'm busy. What's going on?" Xie Yingying's reply came from the room.
"It's okay, what are you yelling for? Hey, are you just entertaining me? I'm not in the mood to make fun of you right now." Xie Yingying shouted.
Yan'er stuck out her tongue and made a face. Lin Jue gave her a thumbs up and then walked down the corridor quietly. Hongxiu followed and wanted to go in together. Xie Danhong on the side stretched out his hand to hold her and said: "
Why did you follow me in?"
Hong Xiu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said: "Yes, yes, yes, what should I do? Will it be an eyesore to the side? I'd better go to the front and do things. Hehehe."
Hong Xiu left with a smile. Lu Wu and Lin Hu originally planned to follow the young master in, but after hearing this, they suddenly realized that they shouldn't follow. Lin Hu was fine, Lu Wu felt very awkward, standing there at a loss and stretched out his hand.
He tore off the leaves of a small tree next to him and rubbed them into pieces with his small hands.
Lin Jue walked lightly into the back house. There was no one in the main room. Lin Jue walked straight to the east wing. The voice of Xie Yingying he just heard came from here. He opened the curtain and entered the east wing.
A beautiful figure was standing in front of the long carved window with her back to Lin Jue. Lin Jue was familiar with that figure. Was it Xie Yingying or who else?
"What color should I use for the curtains? Green is too tacky. Blue is too cold. Red doesn't make people concentrate on reading. Yellow... seems very rustic. As for the floral fabric, it doesn't seem like it would be for a scholar.
The room, for someone as talented and learned as him, the room he lives in must be elegant and decent. Oh! It’s really worrying." Xie Yingying said to herself in a low voice.
"I think purple is good." Lin Jue said softly.
"Purple? Oh, that's a good idea. Purple is mysterious and elegant, and Lin Lang really can't figure it out. This color definitely suits him. But I don't know if he likes it." Xie Yingying still said with her back turned, she was obviously distracted.
, Lin Jue replied, she didn't realize it.
"He likes it. He must like it." Lin Jue smiled.
Xie Yingying's shoulders froze, and she froze in place. The next moment, she suddenly turned around and looked towards Lin Jue. When she saw Lin Jue's smiling face, Xie Yingying's eyes widened and she opened her cherry mouth in surprise.
She stayed where she was. Suddenly, she reached out and twisted her arm through her clothes. The painful feeling made her realize that this was not a dream.
"Yingying, it's me. What? Don't you recognize me?" Lin Jue said with a smile.
A joyful smile appeared on Xie Yingying's face. When Lin Jue opened his arms, Xie Yingying had already rushed into Lin Jue's arms.
"You're here, you're really here. You... how did you find this place? I asked people to go around to find out about you, but there was no news. I thought you hadn't arrived in the capital yet. Wuwuwu, I
You're not dreaming." Xie Yingying burst into tears of excitement and hugged Lin Jue tightly.
Lin Jue answered her question with a passionate kiss, and the two hugged each other tightly, lingering endlessly.
After a long time, the two of them sat apart and talked about their parting.
