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

This generation of residents are completely different from the Cheng'en Temple Hutong, although not all of them are high-door households, but look at the courtyard of the people's houses, small and small elegant, big and magnificent, the streets are spacious and tidy, and the Cheng'en Temple Hutong is not the same type at a glance.

Feng Ziying naturally spent some thought when she wanted to win over Jia Yucun, although she only lent it to Jia Yucun to live in, but considering that there is no harm in having one more mansion in this Jingshi City, the price of such a house in the city only rises and does not fall, unless there are soldiers in the city, it is natural to choose a place with a good environmental location.

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

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

It is still a two-entry courtyard, the outer courtyard is elegant and atmospheric, the inner courtyard is quiet and spacious, and there is a small courtyard courtyard, which obviously combines the characteristics of the northern courtyard and the southern dwellings, which is also some changes brought by a large number of southern scholars and merchants to the north after the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The You family's mother and daughter, including Third Sister You, liked it almost immediately.

Look at the mansions around, they are all quiet and elegant rich and noble families, either some officials, or rich businessmen, the environment is pleasant, and it is convenient to go out from here, the southwest corner is the Shuangta Temple, the east is the imperial city, the northeast corner is a Qingshou Temple with incense, not far to the south is Chang'an Avenue, it can be said that it is really a good place.

Some time ago, in order to find a suitable place to live, You Lao Niang also ran outside the city, and she still had some understanding of the situation in the city.

It is said that this is rich in the east and expensive in the west, poor in the south and cheap in the north, and the best area is naturally the territory of the circle of the imperial city in the west and the east, like what Anfu Fang, Xiao Yongfang, Fucai Fang, Xianyi Fang, Nanxun Fang, followed by Jiqing Fang, Mingyu Fang, Dashi Yongfang, Mingzhao Fang, these places.

Although it cannot be said to be generalized, it is the case in the minds of the common people, but in fact, the poor people account for the vast majority of these workshops, and there are no rich and noble people living in other workshops.

This surrounding environment alone is better than the fork of the Cheng'en Temple Hutong, and the Maxiang Hutong is quite dominant, this side street is not far from the south of the Maxiang Hutong, neither far from the bustle, but it is relatively quiet, it can be described as quiet in the middle of the noisy, so it also makes the You sisters like it very much.

Besides, this yard, inside and outside the fit, close to the courtyard door out of the left is the gatehouse, the right is slightly wider, when it is the stable and the garage, just this shape knows that it is prepared for the rich and noble, where can ordinary people afford to raise carriages and horses?

There are also four rooms in the east and west wings of the outer courtyard, which should be prepared for servants, and the regulations of the inner courtyard are similar, in addition to the main room, there are also three wings on both sides, which are compact and exquisite.

There are all kinds of furniture inside and outside the courtyard, which was also considered for Jia Yucun at that time, but Jia Yucun was going south to Jinling to take up his post soon, so he didn't bring his family over, which seemed a bit wasteful.

Now it is just right for You's mother and daughter to live.

"Auntie, second sister and third sister, this place is quiet, what do you think?" Feng Ziying looked around, no wonder Ruixiang and Baoxiang had strange looks on their faces, and they were really a good place to hide their coquettishness.

When Second Sister You and Third Sister You took off their hats, Na Ruixiang almost had his eyes bulging out, probably because he never thought that his golden house would be such a strange appearance.

You Lao Niang has long liked it so much, such a location and such a courtyard, I am afraid that I can't rent it for money, so I nodded busily: "Feng Gongzi, this place is so good, the location is good, and it is convenient, but how can we afford it?" ”

"Auntie is polite, this is originally an idle house in my family, and it is better to put it than in that Cheng'en Temple." Feng Ziying waved her hand, "As long as the second sister and the third sister and the eldest mother are satisfied, it's just that you just came to this eldest sister, I'm afraid you have to find some mother-in-law to help, you can't let the second sister and third sister do everything, there are five hundred taels of silver here, the eldest mother will take it, go and invite some people, if you feel that there is no suitable one, you might as well ask the eldest sister-in-law to find someone to find some suitable candidates for you." ”

"How's that going to work?" Without waiting for the smiling You Lao Niang to stretch out her hand, Third Sister You was anxious first, "Brother Feng, we can't ask for your silver, we can still get by, we are already very grateful for borrowing your house for a temporary stay, how can we still use your silver?" No, not at all! ”

Seeing that Third Sister You's face was flushed and her eyes were a little red, Feng Ziying also knew that this girl was afraid that she would despise her, so she waved her hand: "Third sister, you saved me once in Ganzhou, is it not worth even five hundred taels of silver to save me once?" Okay, don't misunderstand, this Jingshi City costs a lot of money, and you just came, so you have to adapt to it first, you can use the five hundred taels of silver first, and if you have it in the future, you can return it to me, how about it? ”

That being said, everyone knows how can this money be asked for again? Third Sister You bit her lip and wanted to excuse herself, but Old Lady You took it after hesitating, "Then the old body is grateful to Feng Gongzi, this affection is received by the old body for the second sister and the third sister." ”

Ten ingots of fifty taels of silver were piled up on the table, shaking people's eyes, and the mother and daughter were sitting next to them, looking at the pile of silver in a daze.

"Third sister, what do you mean by saying that this Feng Gongzi is so generous? Is it you or the second sister? "Although You Lao Niang is greedy for money, she also knows that some silver can be taken and some silver cannot be touched.

Although this Feng Gongzi's silver is not hot, but such a large amount of money is given to the three mothers and daughters, if there is any plan for this, I am afraid that there are only these two daughters.

It's just that my two daughters may not be able to enter the eyes of those dignitaries, and their appearance is really different from other women, of course, some men just like this taste, maybe this Feng Gongzi is really different.

Third Sister You bit her lip, didn't say a word for a long time, and was silent for a long time before she said: "I and the second sister look like this, I'm afraid ordinary people won't like it, but the big family is afraid that it may not be able to be looked down upon, who knows what he means?" He didn't say anything, he just said to help our family, how can you ask me? ”

"Hmph, who would help so much for no reason? Even if the Feng family is big, he has not yet married a wife, and the head of the family must still be his father and mother, how can he be allowed to practice money like this? You Lao Niang shook her head, "As for saying that you saved him, that's all after the fact, this person will be cold as soon as he leaves, he is a big man now, how can he remember that?" Besides, even if you want to thank you for lending us this house to live in, it will be affectionate enough, how can you give us five hundred taels of silver? This is five hundred taels, in Ganzhou, our mothers and daughters can live for ten years! There must be some reason for that! ”

Third Sister You was also a little irritable, stood up and stomped her feet, "How do I know what he thinks?" Maybe it's because you like the second sister, don't you also say that the second sister has a big butt and can give birth, I heard that their Feng family is the only one in the third room, and the second sister gives him a concubine or a foreign house, maybe he can give birth to a boy and a girl? ”

Third Sister You was originally angry, but Mrs. You really listened to it, pondering: "It's a pity that your second sister made a promise, I asked your eldest sister to ask someone to ask, to see what kind of family your dead ghost father found for the second sister, it turned out to be the head of the Huangzhuang Zhuang, but it was more than ten years ago, and now there has been no news, we are still guarding this agreement, and I don't know what happened to the people." ”

"The eldest sister will find someone to ask, although there are many imperial villages around this Jingshi City, they all have masters, and it is 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 the son of the Feng family, and he is also a sensible and interesting person to see how he treats people, and the second sister will not suffer a loss with him, if it is an outer room, you have to consider it, I heard that these big families, if it is an outer room, they have to give birth to a son before they can enter the concubine."

Speaking of this, You Lao Niang subconsciously began to look at the body of her second daughter, and it seemed that she was really a child.

Second Sister You, who was sitting next to her silently, didn't expect the topic to turn to herself all of a sudden, and she was so ashamed that she couldn't raise her head, so she had to cover her face with her sleeves, "Mother, the son of the Feng family probably doesn't mean this at all." ”

"Hmph, do you think that your mother is a vegetarian after so many years of experience, that day on the road I saw this Feng Gongzi looking at you wrongly, today he came to see you and the third sister in a different way than others, you look like ordinary people are not to be seen, but it is precisely these young masters of high-ranking families who are used to seeing ordinary fat powder, so they like it differently, and the appearance of you and the third sister is not the same, isn't it different from others, the eyes are a little deeper, and the nose is a little higher? You are much whiter than ordinary girls, and I heard that there are many dignitaries and nobles in this capital city who like Hu Nuyi girl,......"

I have to say that this You Lao Niang really has some knowledge, and she actually knows that this man's tastes are still different.

"You two sisters are both women from good families, if Feng Gongzi takes a fancy to accept you as a foreign house or as a concubine, it is not impossible to consider it,......" You Lao Niang is already thinking about how to deal with this Feng family if this Feng family elder really has this intention?
