"There are so many houses in the capital, one next to the other, and so many alleys. I just went out for a while and almost couldn't find my way back."
Rong Yi asked all the way back, and there were alleys within alleys, like a maze.
Before he came in, he saw that there was a pastry shop over there that was doing a booming business. Thinking that his sister and Mo'er must be tired and hungry after the long journey, he ran out and bought two bags of the best pastries.
"Sister, Mo'er, you guys should eat something first. If you want something, I'll go to the restaurant in front and fry some."
This time, he got to know the area and knew where to buy food.
"Thank you, brother." Linlang felt hungry just by smelling it. "Please take care of the taste of our family. We still have two masters, so don't neglect them."
Rong Yi, Mo'er and two martial artists lived in the front yard, Linlang and Amu lived in the back yard, and Luhua and Yu Qian lived in the back room. The space was just enough for everyone to live in.
Linlang planned to buy a three-story courtyard house so Rong Bowen could stay there. She also had to reserve a guest room, as Song and Hu Shan might stay the night.
That's all for the future. For now, settle down first and don't rush into buying a house. Land is very expensive in Beijing, so you need to look carefully and buy the right one.
Rong Yi had a meal sent back, and he, his two masters, and the old man guarding the door ate together in the restaurant.
There were five people left at home. Amu shared the food with Luhua and Yuqian, and the rest was left for the three of them to eat.
Linlang thought it was troublesome at first and decided to just sit and eat together. However, Amu believed that a family should have rules, and it was unreasonable to let him eat at the same table with other women.
Linlang thought about it and decided to do as Amu said. A family must have rules, and without rules, there will be no order.
After dinner, the three of them sat together and chatted.
Linlang leaned back in her chair comfortably. "Let's go out for a walk together tomorrow to get familiar with the surrounding environment and see if there are any yards for sale nearby."
"Take your time when looking for a house. Do your research before buying, and don't be careless. Get familiar with the environment first, so it will be convenient for traveling later."
Amu was not familiar with the north of the city. When he was in the capital, he lived in the east of the city, where the dignitaries lived.
"If you have a clear understanding of the prices in Beijing, you will have a better idea of what to buy and avoid wasting money when buying a house."
Many officials who came to the capital from other provinces could not afford to buy houses and had to rent them. Some officials had low monthly salaries and had to share rent with others, or else live in the suburbs, just like Rong Bowen had done before.
In short, buying a house is a big deal and must be done with caution.
Linlang left this matter to Amu and Rongyi, and she would just go and take a look when the time came. After she got pregnant, she was a little lazy and didn't want to worry too much.
Linlang asked Mo'er, "Now that we're in the capital, what do you think? Do you want to go home and take a look?"
Mo'er was in a daze. When asked, she was stunned for a moment, then shook her head, "Sister, I'm not going anywhere. I'll just stay at home."
It would be dangerous if they found out, and it would also implicate his brothers and sisters, so he should just stay at home.
Before, when he was in the carriage, he saw the towering imperial palace. No matter how good it was, there was no place for him to stay.
Although this place is small, they treat him sincerely and well, which is better than any high bed and soft pillows.
Linlang and Amu would not force him. They would ask about Mo'er's affairs indirectly when the time comes. If there really was no room for him there, he could live with them for the rest of his life.
Amu rubbed his head and said, "Then stay home. Tell us what you want and we'll buy it for you."
Mo'er said happily, "Then shall I make a list?"
Ah Mu smiled and said, "Okay. Take a day off tomorrow and start martial arts training the day after tomorrow."
"Okay." Mo'er responded crisply. He liked practicing martial arts and studying. He didn't find it hard at all. He was willing to learn.
Not long after, Rong Yi and others came back. Mo'er went to the front yard, while Linlang and Amu washed up and went to bed.
After a long day of traveling, Linlang was tired and fell asleep as soon as she lay down on the bed. Amu tucked the corners of the quilt for her, lay down beside her, and kissed Linlang on the forehead, "Good night."
Linlang hummed and naturally snuggled into Amu's arms.
Amu thought about their wedding night, when the two of them lay awkwardly and shyly on the same bed, as if there was a Milky Way between them.
That night, Linlang told him that if he found someone he liked in the future, she would not pester him, but would divorce him and let him go, allowing him to pursue his own happiness.
She didn't know that she was her own happiness. Once she got hold of it, she would never let go in her life.
Later, their relationship became more and more natural, and their feelings gradually deepened. Now, Linlang completely trusted him and naturally became close to him.
Their family of three will get better and better, but it is hard for Linlang to run around while pregnant.
Saving the emperor is to stabilize the situation. The Jing Dynasty cannot be in chaos now.
There are too many mysteries to be solved, otherwise, there will be danger at all times.
Amu touched his face and decided to disguise himself slightly when going out tomorrow to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.
The next morning, the couple was awakened by the sound of martial arts practice in the front yard. They were too tired from traveling the previous day and slept too soundly, actually sleeping until noon.
Amu was shocked and quickly got up and dressed, then helped Linlang get up, and they went to wash up together.
Luhua brought in breakfast. "The eldest master said that the young lady and her husband had traveled too hard yesterday, so he asked them to sleep more and not wake us up."
"Big brother loves us." Linlang has gotten used to sleeping in recently and doesn't think there's anything wrong with it at all.
It was the first time that Amu got up so late, and he felt a little embarrassed.
The couple had breakfast, and Amu told Linlang his idea, "The skin should be a little yellower, and the eyes should change a little."
"Okay, leave it to me."
Linlang added some turmeric and said, "This stuff will last for a while. If it fades, we can apply it again."
As for the eyes, Linlang pinched something and stuck it on, and they immediately became less eye-catching.
When Linlang took Amu to the front yard, Rongyi and Moer were shocked. He looked the same as before, but a little more rustic and not as eye-catching.
Rong Yi gave a thumbs up, "My sister's cooking skills are amazing."
Mo Er sighed, "If I had known earlier, I would have changed and been able to get out."
He handed the list to Linlang and said, "Thank you for troubling my sister and brother-in-law."
Linlang smiled and comforted him, "Next time we go out, let's prepare in advance."
Mo'er immediately smiled happily, "Okay."
The brother and sister and Amu went out, but instead of taking a carriage, they just strolled around the north of the city to familiarize themselves with the environment.
If you meet a peddler on the road, he will be selling goods from door to door. He will carry his load and shout loudly, and when he meets people, he will ask if they want to buy anything.
Once you exit the alley, you'll find shops lining both sides of the street. If you're looking to buy something, you'll find it here. There's a vegetable market for groceries, a flower and bird market for toys, and antiques, and a flea market for secondhand items.
The three of them walked and shopped along the way. When they saw something they liked, they stopped, asked the price, and bought it if it was suitable.
Amu went into several study rooms to find out the market conditions.
After returning to the Zhao residence with a full load, a carriage stopped at the door. The old gatekeeper said, "The old master Jijiu and the young master are here together."
