330 Moving Tips

After returning from Deyue Tower, Ping'an felt mixed emotions.

Honestly speaking, he didn't envy these rich kids at all. They knew clearly that the other party had something to hide, but they couldn't easily split up. It was basically impossible to knock them down with one blow and find solid evidence of their guilt. These people either didn't want to do anything to them, or they were very cunning and would clean up their mess very quickly.

What’s the point of living on guard every day?

He is still better. Even though he has families on both sides, he doesn't have any concubines or illegitimate children. The same is true for my master's family. It is clean and all the children are legitimate.

Nowadays, those with slightly better conditions all have many wives and concubines. Even a good man like Zhou Siye, I heard, has several concubines at home.

Huo Zhi came back in the evening and learned that Ping'an's father was moving, so he said he would go with him. Ping'an naturally did not stop him and said, "Just go, they are such good friends."

A dreamless night.

Yesterday afternoon, Lin Feng went to the village to call a few people. There were many things to do when moving, and they might need help. If his stepmother made proper arrangements, it would not be too late for these people to return to the village.

After having some breakfast early in the morning to fill their stomachs, Ping An and Huo Zhi took Wang Quan, Xiao Hu and others to the courtyard.

There are some tips for moving house. First of all, you have to move early to be auspicious.

Chang Chunhua and his wife got up very early today, at daybreak. Not long after the Zhang family arrived, Ping An arrived.

Ping An hurriedly introduced Huo Zhi to them. When everyone heard that this young man was the future head of Watson Hall, they were very polite.

Huo Zhi gave Zhang Jinyu a very beautiful screen, which would be very suitable to be placed in the restaurant. Zhang Jinyu took it with a smile.

For this move, she originally wanted to invite more relatives and friends, but her husband didn't want to, and her father and brother also asked her to keep a low profile. In the end, she only invited a few relatives from her mother's side, and invited Ping'an's master and husband.

In fact, most of the things have been moved there, and I spent a lot of money on decoration. I bought a lot of new furniture and decorations. Of course, it was impossible to buy particularly good ones.

Other relatives will go directly to the new house in the morning, and as soon as my wife's family and Ping An arrive, they will prepare to "move".

Ping'an saw that his father was very particular about the old ways. He smiled and took a small bundle of bamboo, which meant that things would get better and better.

Chang Chunfeng himself was carrying a small bundle of firewood, which needless to say meant wealth. The father and son were the backbone of the family, so of course they had to shoulder the financial responsibilities of the family and ensure the continued growth of the family business.

The rest of the people, including Huo Zhi, each took something, got on the carriage, and headed straight for the new house.

The two houses were far apart, so it took Chang Chunfeng more than an hour to go to and from work every day. However, it took less than a quarter of an hour to get from the new house to the six ministries on horseback, which was really convenient.

So when his son repeatedly urged him to move, he accepted the house deed even though he felt embarrassed.

Half an hour later, the door of the new house was opened. The third son, now the housekeeper of the Chang family, led the servants and the doorman to set off firecrackers.

Chang Chunfeng was the first to walk into the courtyard. Looking at the spacious compound, he was very excited. If his parents were still alive, who are only in their fifties now, they would be so happy to know that their grandson was so capable and had earned such a nice house.

That smiling face flashed through his mind. She gave birth to a good son for him, suffered a lot for him, but never enjoyed a little bit of happiness for him.

This became a regret that he would never be able to get over.

The new house was decorated very well by the stepmother, with a warm feel. The luxury was something that an ordinary family like them could not afford, so it was good this way.

As you enter the courtyard, you will see a large living room right at the entrance, with two large rooms on the east and west sides, and two small rooms at the back. Although they are called small rooms, they are larger than the rooms in Chang Chunfeng's original courtyard.

There are three small rooms on each side of the wall, which can be used for servants to live in. In front of the yard are two flower beds planted with flowers of the season, and there is a tall osmanthus tree next to it.

Ping An thought this was a good idea, better than rockery or flowing water, as such arrangements took up a lot of space and were easy for things to get stuck into.

There are fourteen rooms of different sizes at the first entrance, and the three entrances are basically the same, so they can accommodate many people.

"Ping'an, Mr. Huo, let's go see Ping'an's room." Zhang Jinping said with a smile.

Old Master Zhang smiled and said, "I won't go. I'm old and don't want to move. I'll just sit down and drink some tea."

Ping An smiled and said, "Grandfather looks very good, he just wants to wait to welcome the guests so that we can walk around as much as we want. Thank you very much, Grandfather."

Wait until Ping An and the others leave.

The old man looked at his son-in-law and daughter and said, "This child is really good. When their mother comes to Beijing, son-in-law, you should not take advantage of Ping An and let him go back to his mother to show filial piety. If possible, you and your wife should also take the initiative to contact them.

Some relationships are destined to happen by accident. Ping'an's mother has given so much for you. Compared to you, you have never given anything to your children, and you have even less chance to give to the elderly.

Jinyu, as your stepmother, I will tell your brother that what you have done is still not up to standard, and you need to be better to this child in the future."

Zhang Jinyu said coquettishly: "Dad, don't talk about us today. There will be guests coming later. I will reflect on myself in the future."

Chang Chunfeng refilled his father-in-law's cup of tea. He felt very sad today. Logically, he should not dwell on the past. The past cannot be turned back. Besides, his current wife is very good, and they have a son and a daughter. Yue's family is even better.

But in the past two years, as time passed and he became more mature, he realized that he had done many things without thinking and missed out on too much family affection.

Ping'an looked at the second courtyard that belonged to him. The decorations and furniture in the room were all new, the bedding on the kang in the bedroom was neatly laid out, the tables, chairs and bookcases in the study were also new, and there were some books in the bookcases.

There are also ready-made small kangs in the small rooms on both sides, which can be lived in as long as the bedding is laid out.

"Mother, you've worked so hard."

Zhang Jinping said, "She is the mistress of the family. Isn't it natural for her to work harder? Ping An, when your uncle comes over, I will spend a night with you."

Huo Zhi also laughed: "Add me in."

Lin Feng came over: "Master, the eldest master and the master are here."

A few people hurriedly trotted to the front yard, only to see that the master and the gentleman had already sat down in the living room chatting with the old man.

The two mistresses also came with their children, and the yard suddenly became lively.

Awu glanced at Brother Ping'an who was greeting her eldest brother and the others. Her parents, grandparents and great-grandfather were all very satisfied with him, and the whole family agreed.

In fact, she agreed.

That year, she was only seven years old and was rescued by her nine-year-old brother Ping An. Since then, she has always cared about him, but the two have not seen each other for many years.

This time he finally went to Beijing with his father.

If their parents really want them to get married, that's not impossible.

Ping An took the opportunity to call his father aside and said, "Dad, there are quite a few people here today. I'll ask someone to order food from Deyue Tower. The food there is pretty good."

Chang Chunhua looked at his son and said with a smile, "You are the one who will entertain those who are about the same age. Dad has already ordered the meal and will set it up in the living room. The front yard will be for the men and the back yard for the women. Everything will be arranged by the restaurant and we don't have to worry about it."

Chang San came running over: "Master, Master Wang from the Jingguo Mansion has brought people here, saying it's the prince of the loyal and brave prince."

Ping An was shocked: "How did they know? I didn't tell them."

Chang Chunhua was shocked: "Ping An, how do you know these people?"

"Dad, they are my friends, let's go and welcome them."
