Chapter 182 Site Selection
So Luo Tian lived a life of eating, sleeping and settling accounts.Because she is an outsider after all, it is not easy for her to stay overnight in the Yamen, so she should go home to live.In order to pick her up, Luo Baisu went home every day, but he returned to his old days of leaving early and returning late.The less people who knew about her helping Du Zhisi to reconcile the accounts, the better. Naturally, it was completely hidden, and even Fang never told it.Every day before dawn, he followed Luo Baisu to the yamen after getting up after two quick bites of breakfast.

The busy days passed quickly, and it was already two months before the accounts were reconciled.It's just that this account reconciliation did indeed reveal a lot of tricks, but that's not something Luo Tian can intervene in. Her duty is to help complete the account reconciliation.

After checking the accounts, Cheng Qing, who just went to Luojia Village to deliver books, also came back, and the family was very happy.

"Brother Cheng Qing, thank you for your hard work. Brother Cheng Sheng sent a letter back yesterday, saying that he will take a rest tomorrow." Luo Tiandu said with a smile.

Fang also asked with great concern: "Is everyone okay? How is the school going?"

Cheng Qing ran all the way, although his face was a little tired, but he was in good spirits: "The folks are doing well, and now there are three more pupils in the school. The old man is also very healthy and energetic, but I miss him very much. Grandpa and young lady."

There are only about forty households in Luojia Village, and there are no more than twenty school-age children in the family. In this way, almost all the monkeys in Luojia Village have gone to school. It can be seen that Luojia Village still attaches great importance to the education of future generations. Tiandu was very pleased to see this.

However, these are not the focus of Luo Tian's attention. What she cares more about is how Luo Mingdu is in the Qi family, whether he is living comfortably, whether Qi Jin treats her well, whether the Qi family's in-laws are generous and kind to their daughter-in-law , Is there any mess in the room like a well-behaved woman crawling on the bed?You must know that the favorite thing for a mother-in-law these days is to send someone to her son's bed to make things difficult for her daughter-in-law.

Cheng Qing said: "According to the wishes of the head lady, I sent a gift to the Qi family on the second day of my arrival in Qiushui Town in the name of the head lady. Ma'am, my uncle has been recommended by the school, and I'm going to participate in Qiu Wei this autumn."

This is really a happy event, and Fang immediately said happily: "Oh, Jin'er is really promising, and he will be able to take the exam." If Qi Jin has a future, Luo Mingdu will have a good life in the future.

Luo Tiandu also nodded, thinking that this Qi Jin was really good at studying, and he was different from the dandy next to him. In the eyes of others, he was indeed a good candidate for son-in-law.You must know that this is the same in Shangjing. Every time I go back to Chunwei, those rich businessmen who have girls of the right age at home are more concerned about them than those candidates. When the list is released, they guard it early, just waiting to see who is on the list. I understand that if there is no family in the family, I immediately invite the family to take it as the in-laws of the children.

These days, men are not afraid of being poor, as long as they study well, once they become famous, their rich wives will come to them immediately, and they will never worry about life. There have been many scandals, and there are also poor men who, in order to have a smooth future, conceal the fact that there are bad wives in their hometown, and marry a wife in Beijing, which is not new.

So, she was worried again, Qi Jin was good-looking, and his family was rich, and he seemed to be able to study. In case he really passed the Juren examination this year, if someone in Beijing fell in love with him next spring, he would be accepted as his son-in-law, so that Qi The style of the family, whether to agree or not?

She was a little tangled up.

After hearing this, Fang couldn't laugh or cry, knocked her on the head twice, and scolded with a smile: "I really don't know what you think about every day in your little head, your sister and your brother-in-law live in harmony, don't you I’m happy, I have to think about things.”

Even though Luo Tian was interrupted by Fang's interruption, she also felt that she was thinking too much. Seeing Cheng Qing's tired face, she urged him to take a rest.

After Cheng Qing went out, Xiang Lan also found an excuse, followed her out, and said in a low voice in the yard, "I figured you'd be back in the next two days, I've dried all the mattresses in your house, and tonight you If you want to eat, I can go buy vegetables and cook for you."

Luo Tian has learned martial arts from Cheng Qing and Cheng Sheng brothers for several years, not to mention how powerful they are, but they are better than ordinary people. When Xiang Lan said this, her voice was very low, and she still heard everything clearly. Chu.

She frowned, and remembered the new clothes that Xiang Lan gave Cheng Qing before Cheng Qing went to Luojia Village, and felt that her previous guess was correct. Could it be that Xiang Lan has taken a fancy to Cheng Qing?If it was true, Xiang Lan would have some discernment.

She has always valued Cheng Qing very much, and she has long planned to marry Cheng Qing, but she is not an aboriginal here, she can't do things like buying and selling by force, and she doesn't want to choose a random woman for him , it has been delayed.

Xiang Lan has not been in Luo's house for a long time, but she is very shrewd and capable, has a wink, is also very handsome, not to mention her demeanor, very elegant, Luo Tiandu still likes her very much, but she doesn't know Cheng Qingxin What does the following mean.

She thought about it, and thought it would be a good time to ask the two of them what they meant. If both parties were interested, she asked Fang to repay Xiang Lan's contract of selling herself, and set up a banquet for the two of them.Cheng Qing is in his late twenties this year, even in modern times, he can be called a veritable older youth.

After Cheng Qing came back, Luo Tian felt that things went much smoother, and she also thought about carefully considering the matter of setting up a gym. It happened that the tooth shop came to the news that there was a courtyard in the outer city that was vacant.The courtyard is in the eastern suburb of the outer city. There is a restaurant in front and a silk shop on the left. It was originally rented by an outdoor businessman. Because there is no way to go to Beijing, he has been doing business for two years. Thinking of returning home, the yard was empty.

After Luo Tian got the news, he chose a day to visit the courtyard.

The courtyard in the outer city is indeed more spacious than that in the inner city. Although it is also a courtyard with two entrances, it is much larger than what they rent in the inner city now, but the rent is not cheap, and because the family returned home, they originally planned to sell it. Yes, it's just that it's not easy to sell it for a while, so I agreed to rent it out, but the rent has to be paid for five years.Luo Tiandu was a little hesitant. Five years is not a long time, nor is it a short time. After five years, it is uncertain whether Luo Baisu will still be in the capital. If she rents it, Luo Baisu will end up Another foreign transfer, not to mention making money, she will not even be able to earn back her capital. The most important thing is that she doesn't have much cash on hand now, and all valuable things have been given to Luo Ming as a dowry. Now the family is really struggling. The rent is calculated to be five or six hundred taels of silver, which is not a small sum.

In the end she didn't say anything about the rent, but only said implicitly that she had to think about it, and then she went back. The prostitute was used to it, and she felt a little unlucky in her heart. people back.

Knowing that she was going to look at the house, Fang frowned and asked her: "Okay, what are you doing looking at the house? Although our yard is a bit small, the family can live comfortably. Your sister is married again. Do you still think it's too late?" Is the place where you live narrow?"

"I don't think the place where I live is narrow, I just want to rent a yard, take care of it, and then make some games and other things to make money."

Fang said "ah": "Why do you think about making money all day long? You used to live in the village without money. What's the use of earning so much money? If something happens, you can't save it. "Having said that, Fang is also a little worried. Luo Ming is married, but there is another one in the family. Where does the dowry come from? Especially the dowry in Luo Mingdu is so rich, adults should not be too partial. Otherwise, I will feel bad about myself.

With no money to rent a yard, Luo Tian could only concentrate on his own three-acre land.In my own small courtyard, the front yard is for brothers Gu Bo and Cheng Sheng, so it is not appropriate to build fitness diaries for young ladies. The back yard, the main hall, is allocated to Luo Baisu and Fang Shi. Xiang Lan was divided into one room and one miscellaneous room, but there were just three wing rooms available.She turned around and told Mrs. Fang that Xiang Lan would move in to live with her in the East Wing, and vacate the West Wing, make some changes, and build a simple indoor gymnasium.Limited by conditions, the sports equipment that can be purchased is also very limited. Tennis, table tennis, badminton, etc. don't need to think about it. Hanging sandbags is the easiest way, and the effect of venting anger is the best.

There were originally three rooms in the West Wing, one was hung with sandbags, and the other was opened up. A fireplace was built against the wall in the middle, surrounded by iron railings, and some popular gadgets were added, such as throwing pots, Darts and the like are both an entertainment room and a living room. If someone comes over on weekdays, there is also a place to entertain them, so that they don’t have to be brought to Fang’s house every time they come home to talk and chat. to go.There is another one that has been converted into a bathroom. Once those little ladies are turned out, they will definitely have to freshen up and dress up, and they must avoid people from being seen. Besides, in winter, they can also have a bathroom at home. Well, she is fed up with the dilemma of having to bathe in her own room no matter in winter or summer. Summer is better, the temperature is high, and the water vapor evaporates quickly. In winter, every time after bathing, there is a wave of damp water vapor in the room, which is really not good. .

After flipping through the arrangements like this, and going to dozens of taels, Luo Tiandu's money bag, which was not considered a big one at first, was immediately deflated.Alas, she is so worried, when will this purse be full again?

Fang looked at her renovated house, her eyes widened in surprise, and she felt a little bit reluctant: "Xiaodu, this is not our house, you still add these things, we won't be able to live anymore, and we won't be able to take them away." .”

She is a pragmatic person, so she naturally knew that Luo Baisu couldn't be an official in Shangjing all his life. Since he was a rented son, he just cleaned and tidied up. The reason why he spent so much money was to repair the fireplace and add furniture. It's not necessary, such big things can't be moved when moving.
