Chapter 217 Settling down
The master and servant returned to the inn and did not see He Wen.
"Madam, let's have a meal first!" Li Mingren said.
Zhao Yunlan nodded, thinking that she had to think about nothing except walking and eating these days.
Today, the two of them did not order a full table of dishes. The couple finished their meal after eating 70% or 80% full.
"Okay, you three go down to have a meal first!" Zhao Yunlan looked at the three people next to her, lowered her head and refused to leave.
Li Mingren: "If you don't go on, let's talk about today!"
The three of them had been waiting for a day, and were waiting for this moment, so they didn't dare to go down to eat. The punishment was confiscated and they couldn't even feel at ease when they had eaten.
Li Mingren continued: "Do you think it's useless to talk to my wife? You're just getting loose to you on weekdays, your skin starts to itch, right?"
The three of them shook their heads and dared not speak.
Li Mingren did not speak and handed over the right to speak to Zhao Yunlan. "Chunxiang, Ye Sheng, do you know what would happen to us if the royal family was heard by someone who was interested in it?"
Chunxiang, Ye Sheng was so scared that he immediately knelt down, "I know I am wrong, please punish my wife."
Zhao Yunlan ignored the two and turned to He Hua and said, "He Hua, do you know what you did wrong?"
He Hua's tears were almost falling, and she suppressed her sobs and said, "I shouldn't interrupt at will."
Zhao Yunlan said gently at this moment: "You are younger than him and you are also lively, but you can't be ignorant because of the tolerance of these brothers and sisters. It must be that Chun Xiang Ye Sheng and the others won't think too much.
Many, if you meet those maids and servants in the deep courtyard, you said this today that people thought you wanted to step on your brothers and sisters to take office.”
He Hua was a little anxious and wanted to defend herself.
Zhao Yunlan said: "Look at you, you're anxious again, no. We all know that you don't mean that, so we have to learn to be steady from now on. I'll punish you to write ten big words and give them to me before dinner tomorrow."
He Hua: "Madam, I...yes, I accept the punishment." Feeling Li Mingren's stern gaze, He Hua had to respond. For a person who doesn't like to study calligraphy, this is undoubtedly a cruel punishment.
Zhao Yunlan then looked at Chunxiang and Ye Sheng: "Get up."
"Yes, thank you, Mrs.
Zhao Yunlan said: "Twenty big words are written by you two."
The two were still a little happy, but the twenty big characters were finished soon, especially for Ye Sheng, it was not a big deal to often follow Li Mingren to practice calligraphy.
I heard Zhao Yunlan continue, "When the yard is rented, you two will be responsible for cleaning."
Chunxiang Ye Sheng: "Slave (villain) accepts punishment."
This matter was over, and then several people went downstairs to have a meal. Zhao Yunlan and Li Mingren were drinking tea and reading books in the inn, waiting for He Wen to come back.
The couple had added tea several times, and He Wen finally returned to the inn before the curfew.
"Master, madam, I found the yard, it was a second-entry yard, and that yard also had a stable." He Wen looked excited and wanted to take the two of them to see now.
Zhao Yunlan: "You go to have a meal first, and report after you have a meal."
He Wen couldn't help but feel excited, but his stomach was already gushing, so he could only respond: "Yes, the villain will go down first."
After He Wen left, Li Mingren said: "This kid is reliable in doing things and can still think of the stable."
Zhao Yunlan: "No, our horse foster care costs a lot in the inn. If we go to rent another yard without a stable, we have to send the horses to the horse prison. It is also a considerable expense there, and it is not convenient for us to use horses."
Li Mingren nodded, "I just don't know where this yard is?"
Zhao Yunlan pushed the teacup away and said, "I'll know after a while."
After dinner, He Wen wanted Ye Sheng and the other two to go and hear where the yard was rented, but the three of them shook their heads. He Wen was surprised and thought that the three of them were quite excited in the morning, why are they like eggplant caused by frost?
"Forget it, let's forget it if you don't go, I'll go up and report first. He Hua, remember to keep some hot water for your brother." After that, he hurried upstairs.
"Master, Madam!" He Wen shouted outside the door.
"Come in!"
Seeing He Wen open the door and come in, Li Mingren said, "Tell me about the yard!"
He Wen: "Yes. The little man ran several yards with Yaren today, and finally this place was very satisfied. This yard is located at Huaiyuan Street, the sixth place from the east end, not far from our place. Many students have rented it nearby, and it is also closer to the tribute courtyard where the master's spring exam is.
But the rent is a little more expensive, and the villain dared to pay a deposit of 30 taels. If the master and wife are not satisfied, the deposit can be refunded. I have already agreed with the tooth."
Zhao Yunlan: "How much is the rent?"
He Wen: "It will be 250 taels of silver by the end of next year."
Zhao Yunlan: "..." It's really a 25-year-old, and I couldn't help but look at Li Mingren.
Li Mingren also felt distressed: "It's so expensive, it's enough for us to buy a house in Xihe County."
He Wen: "If the master's wife is not satisfied, I will return the deposit tomorrow."
Zhao Yunlan: "Let's rent it, you spend a lot of money, but you scholars' money is the best to make! Then again, there should be many people who want to rent the house!"
He Wen nodded: "Yes, the goose said that he originally wanted to break it up and rent it to two students, so that he would make more money than renting a whole set."
Zhao Yunlan thought about it, but it would be necessary to break it into two sets, and it would be difficult to rest, so it would be better if He Wen wanted to rent one.
Zhao Yunlan: "I'll go and put the house down tomorrow. When all the contracts are written, let Ye Sheng and Chunxiang go over and clean them."
He Wenying said: "Okay, then I will take He Hua to clean together."
Zhao Yunlan: "Just stay in the inn and wait for instructions."
He Wen scratched his head, looked at his wife's serious face, and did not dare to continue asking questions, so he bowed and left.
"I'm sleepy when I go to bed!" Zhao Yunlan yawned and went to the bed.
Li Mingren followed closely behind, turned off the fire, and the couple lay on the bed, and vaguely heard the sound of reading.
Zhao Yunlan muttered, "Look at how serious he is!" She fell asleep as she turned her head.
Li Mingren couldn't help but smile, and slowly fell asleep with an article in his heart.
The next morning, as soon as the ban was lifted, He Wen went out to find Yaman. He quickly paid the money, passed the contract, got the key, and went back to the inn, fearing that the house would be rented away first.
After taking the key, Chunxiang and Ye Sheng went upstairs to pay tribute and rushed to the house to clean.
The house was not very dirty, mainly because some things needed to be placed. He Wen helped the two buy some firewood and went back to the inn. He Wen also knew that the two were punished for one night.
Ye Sheng chopped firewood in the yard, then washed the water tank, and filled it with water. Ye Sheng took the initiative to do all physical work. Chunxiang swept the dust in the house and sorted out the furniture. The two of them worked together, but they were not lazy people. They cleaned up the house after working for a day.
In fact, the main thing is to clean up the house that Zhao Yunlan and Li Mingren can use. The two thought that the owner would definitely want to move in earlier. This is true. When Chunxiang and Ye Sheng returned to the inn, Zhao Yunlan and others were checking out to move to Huaiyuan Street.
Chunxiang and Ye Sheng took the time to drink a glass of water and immediately joined the moving ranks. Zhao Yunlan stayed in the inn and just took out some commonly used things, so it was convenient to pack them up. Chunxiang Hehua quickly got it up and packed it up in a while.
A few people drove the carriage to Huaiyuan Street. When they arrived in front of the house, Zhao Yunlan suddenly felt like she was 'it'.
"Hey, we can finally settle down!"
