peaceful ancient life

Chapter 9
After staying on the boat for half a month, it finally landed.

After packing up and saluting, after landing, An Ning and the others waited for Youcai at the pier to take care of the two carriages. After returning, they all drove towards the capital in the carriages.Galloping all the way, finally arrived at the gate of the capital after half a day.

There were a lot of pedestrians coming and going at the gate of the city, An Ning's carriage followed behind the crowd and moved forward slowly.

Tang Yan and his men quietly followed An Ning and the others to escort them, and did not leave until they reached the gate of the capital.

From the beginning to the end, An Ning and the others didn't know that someone had escorted them behind.

An Ning and the others sat in the carriage, lifted the curtain of the carriage, looked at the majestic city wall, and looked at the soldiers standing at the gate. They all breathed a sigh of relief, and they could have a good rest when they entered the city.To be honest, after sitting on the boat for so long and driving for half a day, everyone is exhausted.

After entering the city, I followed the address given by An Jinxin to find it slowly. It was quite easy to find, and the address was behind a lively street market.

The carriage drove slowly in the alley, and stopped in front of a vermilion gate.

"Young masters, we're here." The coachman said standing outside the carriage.

An Wenyu was the first to lift the curtain and jumped down.An Wenye and An Wenhan, who came down next, turned around and came to the carriage behind to help Yang Shi and An Nuannuan get off, and An Ning followed.

Give the fare to the driver and let him go back.An Wenye looked up at the word "An Zhai" on the door plate above the vermilion gate, and motioned for Youfu to knock on the door.

The door opened with a "squeak", and the person inside leaned out to look at it and asked, "Who are you?"

"Excuse me, is this Master Tanhua'an's house?" Youfu stepped forward and asked.

"Yes, that's right." The gatekeeper said as he walked out, looked at Yang and the others and asked uncertainly, "You... are the old lady, madam and young lady?"

"Yes, yes, yes." Youfu responded repeatedly, then pointed to Yang Shi and An Nuannuan and said, "This is Master Tanhua's mother and wife."

Then he pointed to the back and said, "These are the young master and young lady of Mr. An's family."

The concierge quickly stepped forward to salute and said: "Little Hong Dashi has seen the old lady, madam and all young masters and ladies."

"Well, let's go in." Yang nodded.

"Yes, yes, Madam, please first." Hong Dashi hurried forward and opened the door to welcome him.

Several people came in and came to the hall in the front yard. As soon as they sat down, Hong Dashi came in with a little maid to serve Yang Shi and the others tea.

"Ma'am, young master and miss, drink tea first, and the cook has already asked the cook to prepare dinner, it will be ready soon."

"Well, by the way, you can find someone to go down and rest with wealth and blessings. Also, have you sent someone to inform Jin'er? When will he come back." Yang took a drink of tea and pointed at Hong Dashi asked again after explaining.

"Yes, I will take them down to rest right away, and I have sent someone to report to the master." Hong Dashi replied respectfully.

"Well, good." Yang nodded.

An Jin was on duty at the Imperial Academy, and heard that the servants at home reported that the old lady, the lady and the young lady had arrived, so she hurriedly asked her immediate superior to ask for leave.Run all the way back.

As soon as I ran to the front yard, I saw Yang and others who came to the entrance of the hall after hearing the voice.

After shouting "Mother" loudly, he ran forward to support Yang, then raised his head and looked around the crowd with a smile: "You guys are here."

"Father~" the three brothers An Ning and An Wenye shouted in unison.

"Yeah." An Jin replied, looked at An Nuannuan and said, "Let's all go in."

Yang clung to An Jin's hand excitedly, looked at him for a while and then said, "It's slimmer."

An Jin helped Yang Shi go inside and coaxed: "Mom, I miss your cooking so much, I just wait for you to make me fatter when you come."

"Okay, okay, I'll cook what you like for you, and I will definitely bring you back." Yang patted An Jin's hand happily.

"Don't worry, as long as you are by my side, your son will gain weight soon." An Jin carefully helped Yang to the table, and after she sat down, she sat down on the chair next to her .

After everyone sat down, An Jin and the Yang family chatted about their current situation.

Afterwards, An Jin turned to look at the three brothers An Ning and An Wenye and said with a smile: "Have you traveled such a long distance, are you all hungry?"

After seeing them nodding, he turned around and told his servant, An Sheng, to tell the cook to get the food ready and serve it up.

After the meal, An Jin looked outside and said to everyone: "It's getting dark, let's go to rest first, the residence was cleaned two days ago. It has been cleaned every day for the past few days, so we can live right away." .Is there anything you want to say or ask? Let's talk after the rest. Let's go, I'll take you to have a look."

An Jin took everyone on a tour of this house, which is divided into front and back yards, and there is a garden in the middle.There are several small buildings and courtyards in front and back.

An Jin's study room, the living room for entertaining guests, and the three brothers An Wenye's own residence are all in the front yard.

The backyard is for Yang, An Nuannuan and An Ning, their female relatives.

An Ning took Yang Shi by the arm and followed An Jin and the others. He walked into the garden, which was filled with flowers of various colors. After looking around, he confirmed that it was a beautiful big garden with a rockery on the west and a small lake on the east. There are lotus flowers in the lake, and there is a small pavilion beside the lake.

My God, after buying this big house, my family will go bankrupt, right?Did you give birth?right?Bar?

An Ning turned her head worriedly and whispered into Yang's ear: "Grandma, how much money did you give your son when he went out? Look at the big house he bought, how much did it cost? We There are only so few people in the family, and we can’t live in such a big place. Look, we can’t live in such a big place even if we live alone in a small yard. It’s not like spending all our family’s savings over the past few years. Right? Grandma, you have to take good care of your son, it’s not okay to spend money so lavishly, if it continues like this, our family will have to drink the northwest wind sooner or later.” What a prodigal! ! !
After hearing this, Yang smiled, patted An Ning's hand lightly and said in a low voice: "You little heartless, did you say that about your father, it's because your father loves you so much."

An Ning coquettishly shook Yang's hand: "Grandma~"

Yang raised her hand and pinched An Ning's nose, and said with a smile, "Haha~ Don't worry, your grandma is rich, and you won't be hungry."

An Jin, who was leading the way, didn't know that her daughter didn't trust him.

After everyone strolled around, An Jin led everyone to the yard prepared for Yang, and called Hong Dashi's daughter-in-law Wu Mama to let her serve Yang, and then let Yang have a good rest.

Walking out of the place where Yang's family lived, An Jin turned to the three An Wenye brothers and said, "We've already visited the front yard just now, and you all know where the small yards are, so go and pick the one you like. Check in."

"Okay." The three brothers responded in unison.

"Go to Hong Dashi's wife if you need anything." An Jin waved her hand.

"Ning'er, come, dad will take you to see where you live, it's specially reserved for you." After watching the three leave, An Jin turned to An Ning and smiled.

"Really, Daddy, you're so kind." An Ning said with a smile on An Jin's side while holding An Nuan Nuan's arm.

"Wait and see if you like it. If you don't like it, we'll pick another one. This place is not too small, and there are still several places vacant." An Jin smiled and led the way.

After a while, the three stopped in front of a small building.

Looking at the beautiful and exquisite two-story building in front, three peach trees were planted in front of the building, and the peach blossoms on the trees were brilliant.Under the tree there is a small round stone table and several small stone benches.There is also a swing next to the tree.

There is a door plaque hanging on the small building with the words "Taoyuanju" written on it.The first floor of the small building is a small flower hall.There are also a few small rooms next to it for An Ning's future maids to live in.The second floor is An Ning's boudoir and show room, in addition to a small study.

An Jin and An Nuannuan were sitting in the flower hall downstairs, watching An Ning's mess upstairs and downstairs.

Seeing An Ning coming down the stairs, An Jin smiled and asked, "How is it? Are you satisfied?"

"Very satisfied, thank you dad." An Ning stepped forward a few steps, sat down on the chair next to the two of them, and replied with a smile.

An Jin nodded: "As long as you are satisfied, then you can live here. When the time comes, the peach blossoms outside will wither, and the bare ones will not look good. If you don't like it, you can move to the yard by the small lake. Summer When you arrive, you can enjoy lotus flowers and cool off from the heat.”

An Ning raised her eyebrows and smiled, "I also left that yard?"

An Jin laughed and said, "As long as you like, I will give it to you."

"Father, you are the best father in the world." An Ning flattered her with a smile, which made An Jin laugh again.

"However, to be honest. Dad, how much did you pay for this big house? I just told my grandma that you used all of our property to buy this big house, right?"

"Yeah, I have no money, what should I do?" An Jin teased her with a smile.

An Ning knew that An Jin was teasing her, so she deliberately smiled at An Nuannuan and said, "Mother, you won't even give my father the private money in your small treasury, right? We're going to be hungry now, drink Northwest wind."

An Nuannuan smiled and looked at the two of them making fun of each other. Seeing that An Ning had turned the flames of war on her side, she also teased her: "Don't worry, the dowry money I saved for you is all there, and my mother will keep it for you."

"Oh, mother~" No way, the combined power of the two husband and wife's two swords is too great, and my delicate body can't stand it.

An Ning turned around and looked at An Jin with big watery eyes, pretending to be wronged: "Father, look at what your daughter-in-law said, as if I hate getting married so much. You should take your daughter-in-law back and discipline her properly."

An Nuannuan scolded with a smile: "What are you talking about?"

An Ning turned her head and smiled mischievously at her, then continued to look at An Jin innocently: "Father~"

An Jin gave a low laugh, patted her hand on the table and stood up: "Okay, stop making trouble. Ning'er, you should go to rest too. We're going back too." The last sentence was to An Nuannuan.

"Yeah." An Nuannuan responded with a smile and glanced at An Ning: "Then we're leaving, and you should also take a good rest. You must be exhausted from the long journey to Beijing this time."

"Well, okay, mother, you should go back and have a rest." An Ning got up to see her off.

After arriving at the door, An Jin turned around: "If you need anything, go to Hong Dashi's house, okay, go back and have a good rest." After finishing speaking, she left with An Nuannuan.
