Chapter 1051 The Lazy and Bad Sister-in-Law of the Blessed Nongmen (46)

   "Boss! Boss wife!"

  Cui Shi remembered the main purpose of coming to see her off, and hurriedly squeezed forward and said: "Your little sister is also in the capital, remember to go and see her."

  If it weren't for worrying about the family's fields, she would have liked to follow her boss to the capital to find her daughter. The dead girl only cares about her own happiness, and she has forgotten her mother and brothers at home.

   "Mother, the capital is so big, my little sister didn't tell us when she left, where should we go to see her?" Cui Mengjin frowned and said.

  Xu Yin watched the nose and the heart: sister knows, but sister doesn't tell.

   But sometimes it is such a coincidence.

   Arriving in the capital, Chen Zhanpeng and his wife sent Xu Yin and his wife to the house rewarded by His Majesty—a three-entry mansion located in Zouma Lane under the root of the imperial city.

  Zouma Lane, as the name suggests, is an alley where horse-drawn carriages often come and go. How can ordinary people use a horse-drawn carriage to travel? It means that all the dignitaries live here.

  The mansion that Xu Yin was rewarded with was previously the mansion of a fourth-rank official. Because of the problem of standing in line, the new emperor resigned from his official position and the mansion was confiscated, and it was conveniently awarded to Xu Yin.

  Xu Yin: "..."

  Sister, this is a mistake, right?

   A group of people got out of the carriage and were about to enter when the door of the opposite house opened. A lady in brocade clothes and rings came out surrounded by maidservants, and met Xu Yin and the others.

   "Brother?" Cui Qiaoqiao immediately recognized Cui Mengjin who was holding the child.

   It was Cui Mengjin who recognized her several times before she was sure that the woman in front of her, who was as beautiful as a lotus, was her younger sister.

   "Qiaoqiao?" He couldn't believe it.

  Cui Qiaoqiao also couldn't believe it: "Brother, why did you come to the capital? Your leg is healed?"

   While speaking, her eyes fell on Xu Yin, her pupils shrank: This fair-skinned, slender woman turned out to be the vicious Xu family?

   "Come in and talk about it, don't keep it in the way." Cui Mengjin got a hint from the lady's eyes, and greeted, "Mother misses you very much these years."

   "Brother, this is... Could this be your house?"

  How can it be possible to ask such a question on the mouth, but to laugh in the heart!

   But her elder brother nodded: "It was given to your sister-in-law by His Majesty."

"What???"

  Cui Qiaoqiao was really surprised.

   Frequently interacting with the sixth prince, how could she not know that the mansion across the door was bestowed by His Majesty on a little-known eighth-rank Si Nong.

   For this reason, the sixth prince complained more than once that his brother's decisions when he became emperor became more and more incomprehensible, and even a Sinon was eligible to live in the house in Zoumaxiang.

   Never thought that the eighth-rank Sinong, who is highly regarded by His Majesty, is actually her vicious sister-in-law?

How can this be! !

  However, the facts were in front of her eyes, and she had no choice but to believe it.

  When Cui Qiaoqiao left, she was in a trance, and she was walking in a daze.

   It stands to reason that someone in the family becomes an official, even if he is only an eighth-rank Sinonong, Hao Lai is also an official, and she should be happy, but she is not happy at all.

  Why is the Xu family awarded the reward? How can that vicious woman be!

  Xu Yin didn't know about her sister-in-law's mental activities, so she sent Mrs. Chen and his wife away, and asked the servants to pack their luggage and clean the house. She dragged Comrade Xiao Jin around the house.

  At first, I was just wandering around. I felt that the design of the patio is very good, and the hidden compartment in the bedroom of the main courtyard is well arranged, so I simply borrowed it:

   "When we build a house later, we will also have such a secret compartment in our bedroom."

   "Puff puff..."

   "The combination of the front and back patios turns out to be a gossip map, which is quite interesting."

   "Puff puff..."

  When she said a word, the son vomited a bubble, as if responding to her, which amused the couple.

   "Brother Chen also thinks it's good?"

   "Puff puff..."

"Hahaha!"

   Continue shopping after laughing.

   Strolled to the back garden: "This garden is too big, our family doesn't need it."

  Her family has a twenty-acre lotus pond, which is a large natural garden. The emperor's imperial garden must not be as big as her family's garden.

  However, although the flowers and plants in this garden are withered, the varieties are not ordinary. Seeing that the roots are still alive, I want to pack the soil and take them back to Dawa Village.

  The furniture in the house is all mahogany, which is precious, but Xu Yin feels that it is not as comfortable to use as the brand-new carved furniture entrusted by an old carpenter.

  Cui Mengjin said: "Then let's go back after the interview? Build a blue brick compound that you like."

  Xu Yin asked him: "Where do you like to make your home?"

   "Where is the lady, that is the home of our father and son."

  Xu Yin was delighted, pinched his cheeks, the little mouth is quite good at coaxing.

  Brother Chen saw this, and imitated his paws and scratched his father's face.

   "Don't make trouble." Cui Mengjin easily held his son's two little paws with one hand.

   "Poof—"

  The son approached him and spit bubbles, his father's face was covered with saliva.

  Xu Yin laughed heartily.

  Cui Mengjin reluctantly put his son on the stone table in the back garden and asked him to sit and play with the leaves.

  The couple sat down on the stone bench, protecting their son's back with their hands to prevent him from falling backwards.

  Xu Yin looked around. This house is good, but she still prefers the house in Dawa Village. The walls don’t need to be so high, and the courtyard gate doesn’t need to be so tightly guarded. If you want to go up the mountain or down the river, the paddy fields and dry land are near your home, and you can walk from the end of the village to the entrance of the village for at most a quarter of an hour. These conveniences cannot be enjoyed in the streets and alleys of the capital.

  Furthermore, the life of accompanying the king under the eyes of the emperor is like accompanying a tiger, which is far less comfortable than Dawa Village.

  The young couple discussed: During the capital period, keep a low profile as much as possible, not to stand out, not to stand out, that is, for ordinary peasant couples who are lucky enough to be summoned by His Majesty, follow Grandma Liu to enter the Grand View Garden, see the world, have a meal and then return home!

  The next day, the couple followed Chen Zhanpeng into the palace to have an audience.

The couple followed the simple and honest style of Grandma Liu’s entry into the Grand View Garden. The emperor asked them what they answered. For example, the seeds of the Western Regions were bought in Chunzhou Prefecture. Of course, the emperor never said a word without asking.

  The emperor had a good impression of the couple, after all, he helped him ascend the throne.

  After seeing them, he was amused by the simple and optimistic honesty of the couple. With a wave of his hand, he rewarded them again.

  Xu Yin and Cui Mengjin looked at each other.

   Thinking that he had brought a gift, he presented a basket of papaya and a papaya tree whose roots were wrapped in soil.

   "What is this?" the emperor asked curiously.

   "Return to Your Majesty, this is the fruit grown from the seeds of the Western Regions. It is a bit astringent when eaten raw. The woman tried to steam it and eat it. It is soft and sweet, and after eating it, the complexion will become fair and delicate..."

   Before she finished speaking, the emperor laughed: "Eating can make people fair and delicate? Such food, the empress and all the concubines must be very interested."

  He waved his hand and asked someone to carry the basket down, and distributed one point to the ladies of each court, including the princes and daughters.

  The papaya tree was handed over to the garden officer.

   As a result, just this basket of papayas almost made it impossible for Xu Yin and his wife to escape.
