89, discuss

After dinner, the master and servants had their dinner, it was completely dark, but the weather was still good, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, illuminating the tranquility and peace in the Xizhu Garden.

The dew washes away the noise, can it wash away people's hearts?

Shi Jinrou brought Xiao Lian to her father's room, and Ishihara was reading at night with candles.

Ding Zhong was about to go out of the house and go back to his room when he saw Shi Jinrou. He quickly bowed and asked:

"Miss's illness is cured?"

Shi Jinrou smiled and said meaningfully: "There is another day, it should be cured!"

Ding Zhong nodded and said with concern: "This joint is the most important thing. Miss. Don't catch a cold carelessly! Come into the house quickly, don't be exposed to the wind anymore!" As he said that, Ding Zhong stood aside.

Shi Jinrou smiled and said, "Thank you for reminding Ding Bo! Don't worry, Xiaorou will care carefully!"

Ishihara came over with a smile and said, "Look at you two, you are so scattered, just like singing an opera. Haha... Ding Zhong, go and do your business, I will call you if you have any problems."

Ding Zhong agreed and went back to his room.

Xiao Lian gently supported Shi Jinrou into the house.

Shi Jinrou walked to the table and asked, "What are your father looking at?"

Ishihara Hai sighed and said, "Although my father decided not to participate in the imperial examinations, this book of sages can never be let go of in the rest of his life."

Shi Jinrou smiled sweetly and did not continue the topic. She thought to herself:

"It was a last resort for my father to give up the imperial examination. In order not to rely on others, and to take good care of himself. My father has always been ambitious and wants to realize his ambitions through the imperial examination. It was just a force of reality... Don't worry, my father, my daughter will definitely help you realize what you wish in your life in the future!"

After Xiao Lian prepared tea for the father and daughter, she stood behind Shi Jinrou.

Shi Jinrou said to Ishihara:

"Dad, my wet nurse, Mama Zhang, came to visit her daughter this morning."

"Oh? It's really hard for her! I still have the heart to see you. She has been with your mother for more than ten years, but as soon as your mother passed away, she quit her job and left. Humph!" Ishihara Hai's tone was a little dissatisfied.

After hearing this, although Shi Jinrou didn't expect it, she was still quite confused. It was her mother Dong Yun who asked Zhang's mother to quit her job, but her father obviously didn't know about this. Why did her mother do it so mysteriously?

Shi Jinrou did not reveal the doubts in her heart, but just smiled and said, "Dad, you misunderstood. Mama Zhang did not quit her job. She was driven away by the eldest wife."

"Oh? So that's it! My father thought that the world was cold and people's hearts were not as good as ever. It turned out that she couldn't help but!" Ishihara Hai sighed.

Shi Jinrou held back her smile. She smiled and her father was too easy to believe others. Fortunately, this was her own daughter. If it were someone else, wouldn’t it be sold and she would help people count the money?! Her father was very literary and talked to her father, so she could not read the idiom dictionary. Looking through the idiom book is worse than having a word from my father.

Shi Jinrou decided to tease Ishihara Hai, so she said, "Dad, this is what Zhang Mother said herself, and it may not be trustworthy. But her daughter is thinking about it. Regardless of whether it is a cold world or a cold person, people's hearts are not old, when they come, they are just good intentions. Dad, are you right?"

Shi Jinrou thought her father would scold her inconsistencies and learn from him to speak, but she really didn't expect that even Xiaolian couldn't help but laugh. Ishihara Hai nodded "seriously" and said sincerely:

"Yes, Xiaorou is kind-hearted and follows your mother, but she is narrow-minded and petty for her father."

Shi Jinrou couldn't help but feel the dark lines in her head. Hey, this father, he is so kind!

So Shi Jinrou decided to get to the point directly, she said:

"Dad, I want to buy a small yard."

The topic changed too quickly, Ishihara Hai was stunned and asked, "What small yard to buy? What is the use of buying it?"

"It is used to store my mother's relics and our Shi family's things. My father and I come to Beijing, and I want to travel lightly." Shi Jinrou replied.

Ishihara Hai pondered for a moment and said, "I have been thinking about this for the past two days. I originally planned to let you Ding Bo take it to the pawnshop tomorrow and exchange it for some silver. When you get an official position for your father in the future, you will redeem it."

Shi Jinrou was also stunned for a moment. Even before she traveled through time, she had never pawned anything. Not to mention going to a pawn shop, she didn't even know whether there was a pawn shop on the street. Therefore, Shi Jinrou felt that it was not impossible to propose this method.

However, when she saw that her father did not object to her buying a yard, she simply said:

"It may not be safe to be a good person. It is better to have your own yard for storage. Dad, do you think so?"

Compared with pawns, Shi Jinrou prefers "real estate".

"It's good, but you can buy this yard at will. Where can you get that much silver? What's more, we'll set off in Beijing in the next two days, so I'm afraid there's no time."

Shi Jinrou said, "Dad, don't worry. I have chosen the yard. I have entered the two places. It is located near the Xicheng Gate. The surrounding neighbors are all honest people. The price is not expensive, so we can afford it. As for the money? There will be one."

Shi Jinrou almost told Ishihara Sea that there will be bread, everything will be there."

Ishihara Hai asked in surprise: "When did you go out of the mansion to choose a yard?"

"Oh, it was recommended by Zhang's mother in the morning. Dad, Zhang's mother is a good person. She always loves me more than her mother. Zhang's mother will not deceive me. Besides, the yard is a relative of Zhang's mother, and she knows the truth."

Ishihara Hai heard this and nodded, "Yeah, I knew Zhang's mother before. She was honest and kind, and had no intention of Xiaorou and your mother. But... how much does the yard sell?"

"Not expensive, only sold for sixty taels."

Ishihara Hashi said "Oh" and said, "It's not expensive," and hesitated.

Shi Jinrou struck while the iron was hot and continued, "Let's do this, let's go and see the yard tomorrow. If you like it, you'll sell it. Dad, don't worry, there will be money."
