  Chapter 427 C-character scroll Jinwu Zangjiao

  When Youshi's mother and daughter arrived at the side street of Maxiang Hutong, they already felt completely different.

The residents of this generation are completely different from those in Cheng'en Temple Hutong. Although not all of them are rich and powerful, but looking at the courtyards of their houses, some are small and elegant, some are large and grand, and the streets are spacious and tidy. It is not the same type as Cheng'en Temple Hutong.

Feng Ziying wanted to win over Jia Yucun, so naturally she spent some thought. Although it was only lent to Jia Yucun for a short stay, considering that there is no harm in having an extra mansion in the capital city, the price of such a house in the city can only rise and not fall. , unless there is a war approaching the city, it is natural to choose a place with a good environment and location.

  It is said to be a small mansion, but its area is not smaller than the courtyard of Youshi mother and daughter in Cheng'en Temple Hutong. Of course, it is much smaller than the surrounding residences where a real big family lives.

   But for the Youshi mother and daughter, this is simply heaven.

   It is still a secondary courtyard. The outer courtyard is elegant and grand, the inner courtyard is quiet and spacious, and there is a small patio courtyard, which obviously combines the characteristics of northern courtyard houses and southern folk houses.

  Mother and daughter You, including Third Sister You, fell in love with this place almost immediately.

Looking at the surrounding mansions, they are all quiet and elegant wealthy families, either officials or wealthy businessmen. There is a Qingshou Temple with a lot of incense, not far to the south is Chang'an Avenue, it can be said that it is really a good place.

  Ms. You did a lot of traveling in and out of the city to find a suitable place to live some time ago, and she still has a little understanding of the situation in the city.

It is said that this is where the east is rich and the west is expensive, and the south is poor and the north is cheap. The best areas are naturally the areas around the imperial city on the west and east, such as Anfufang, Xiaoyongfang, Fucaifang, Xian Yifang, Nanxunfang, followed by Jiqingfang, Mingyufang, Dashiyongfang, and Mingzhaofang.

  Although it cannot be generalized, this is the case in the minds of the common people, but in fact, the majority of these workshops are poor people, and there are rich people living in other workshops.

The surrounding environment alone is much better than the branch alley of Cheng'en Temple Hutong, and Maxiang Hutong is quite popular. This side street is not far from the south end of Maxiang Hutong. It is not far from the bustle, but But it is relatively quiet, which can be said to be a quiet place amidst the hustle and bustle, so the Youshi sisters like it very much.

  Besides, this yard is well-balanced inside and outside. The gatehouse is on the left next to the gate, and the right side is slightly wider. It is a stable and a garage. Just from this shape, it is known that it is prepared for wealthy families. How can ordinary people afford carriages and horses?

There are also four rooms in the east and west of the outer courtyard, which should be prepared for servants. The rules of the inner courtyard are similar. In addition to the main room, there are also three wing rooms on both sides. They are compact and exquisite. If Youshi lives in the main room, the Youshi sisters can separate I live in east and west wing rooms, and there is quite ample room for girls and servants to stay on duty at night.

  There are all kinds of furniture inside and outside the courtyard, which was also considered for Jia Yucun at the time, but because Jia Yucun will soon go south to Jinling to take up his post, it seems a bit wasteful not to bring the family.

  Now it's just right for Youshi's mother and daughter to live here.

   "Ma'am, second sister and third sister, this place is quiet, what do you think?" Feng Ziying looked around, no wonder the two boys Ruixiang and Baoxiang had weird expressions on their faces, it was indeed a good place for a golden house to hide its beauty.

  When Second Sister You and Third Sister You took off the veiled hat, Na Ruixiang almost even popped out his eyeballs, probably because he never expected that Jinwu Zangjiao would have such a strange appearance.

Mrs. You liked it from ear to ear for a long time. She might not be able to rent this kind of location and courtyard, so she nodded hurriedly: "Mr. Feng, this place is great, the location is good, and it's convenient. How can our three mothers afford it?"

"Ma'am, you're welcome. This is an idle house in my family. It's better than being in Cheng'en Temple." Feng Ziying waved her hand, "As long as the second sister, third sister and aunt are satisfied, it's fine. It's just that you guys are here, aunt, I'm afraid you have to find some women to help, you can't let the second sister and third sister do everything, here is five hundred taels of silver, the aunt will take it, go hire some people, If you feel that there is no suitable candidate, you may wish to ask sister-in-law Zhen to find someone to find suitable candidates for you."

"How can I do that?" Before the smiling old lady You stretched out her hand, Third Sister You became anxious, "Brother Feng, we can't ask for your money, and we can still get by. I'm very grateful for borrowing your house for a while, why? Can you still use your silver? No, absolutely not!"

Seeing that Third Sister You's face was flushed, and her eye sockets were a little red, Feng Ziying also knew that this girl was afraid that he would underestimate her, so she waved her hand: "Sister You, save me once in Ganzhou, don't you mean save me?" Not worth even five hundred taels of silver at a time? Well, don’t get me wrong, the capital city is expensive and you’ve only come here, so you have to get used to it first, you take the five hundred taels of silver first, and use them later. If you have it, you can return it to me, how about it?"

   That is to say, everyone knows how it is possible to get the money for this shot again? Third Sister You bit her lip and wanted to decline, but Mrs. You still took it after hesitating for a while, "The old man would like to thank Mr. Feng for this kindness, and I will accept it for the second and third sisters."

  Ten ingots and fifty taels of silver with gold patterns were piled up on the desk, dazzling people's eyes. The mother and daughter sat beside them, staring at the pile of silver in a daze.

   "Third sister, what do you mean by Mr. Feng's generosity? Is he interested in you or the second sister?" Although You Lao Niang is greedy for money, she also knows that some money can be obtained and some money cannot be touched.

   Although Mr. Feng's silver is not hot, but such a large amount is given to himself, the mother and daughter. If there is any picture of this, I am afraid it is only these two daughters.

   It's just that my two daughters may not be able to catch the eyes of those dignitaries. They look really different from other women. Of course, some men just like this taste. Maybe this Mr. Feng is really different.

Third Sister You bit her lip, didn't say a word for a long while, and said after a long silence: "I'm afraid that ordinary people wouldn't like the appearance of Second Sister and I, but I'm afraid that a rich family may not be able to be overestimated by others." , who knows what he means? He didn't say anything, he just said to help our family, how do you ask me to ask?"

"Hmph, who would help so much for no reason? No matter how big the Feng family is, and he hasn't married a wife yet, his father and mother must be in charge of the family. How could he be allowed to abuse money like this?" Mrs. You shook her head, "As for you Saved him, that's something for later, this man's tea will be cold as soon as he leaves, he is a big shot now, how can he remember those things? Besides, even if I want to thank you for lending us this house, that's nothing If you are affectionate enough, why would you still give us five hundred taels of silver? This is five hundred taels, and in Ganzhou, our three mothers can live for ten years! There must be some reason for not saying that!"

Third Sister You was also a little irritable. She stood up and stomped her feet, "How do I know what he's thinking? Maybe he's attracted to Second Sister. Don't you also say that Second Sister's **** are pretty big and she's fertile?" , I heard that he is the only one in the Feng family, and the second sister can be his concubine or a foreign house, maybe he can have a boy and a half girl?"

Third Sister You's original angry words were really listened to by Mrs. You, thinking: "It's a pity that your second sister promised someone else, I asked your eldest sister to ask someone to ask, look at your old ghost What kind of family did Dad find for the second sister? It was originally said to be Huangzhuang Zhuangtou, but it happened more than ten years ago, and there is no news about it now. How is it?"

   "Elder Sister, you can find out if you ask someone. Although there are many Huangzhuang around this capital city, they all have owners. It's easy to inquire." Third Sister You was a little absent-minded.

"If it doesn't work, it's still very suitable for the second sister to be a concubine for Mr. Feng's family. Seeing how he treats others, he is also a sensible person. The second sister will not suffer from following him. If it is an outsider, you have to think about it. I heard they These big families, if they are concubines, they have to give birth to sons before they can start to raise concubines."

   Speaking of this, Mrs. You subconsciously began to look at the body of her second daughter, who seemed to be really fertile.

Second Sister You, who was sitting by the side silently, did not expect that the topic would suddenly turn to herself. She was so ashamed that she couldn't raise her head, so she had to cover her face with her sleeves, "Mother, Mr. Feng probably doesn't have this at all." What do you mean?"

"Hmph, you think your mother is a vegetarian after so many years of experience. On the road that day, I saw that Mr. Feng looked at you in a wrong way. Today, when he came to see you and the third sister, his eyes were different from other people's. Ordinary people may not like to see your appearance, but it is precisely these young masters of high-ranking families who are used to seeing ordinary makeup, so they like different ones, and you and the third sister don’t look the same, don’t they just look like other people? Different hair color, darker eye sockets, higher nose? You are much whiter than ordinary girls. I heard that there are many dignitaries in the capital city who like barbarian girls,..."

   I have to say that Mrs. You is really knowledgeable, knowing that this man has different tastes.

"You two sisters are girls from a good family. If Mr. Feng is interested in taking you as a foreign house or as a concubine, it is not impossible for you to consider it..." Mrs. You was already considering that if the boss of the Feng family really meant it, but How should we deal with it?
