Chapter 329 A Bit Like Gossip
Ma Jia looked at her, then at Wen Zhenyi, and could only shake his head helplessly.
Geng Ru went to get three hundred taels and handed it to her: "You keep this, I'll give you the rest when I make money."
Wen Zhenyi smiled and said, "Okay."
"I really don't know what to say to you, kid."
Wen Zhenyi looked at their expressions of love, anger, and helplessness towards him, and smiled faintly: "The new house is very close to my house, you can help me take care of it."
"Okay, okay, you have already bought the house, we can return it!" Old Mrs. Ma gave her a sidelong look.
When Wen Zhenyi came, he asked Axiang to notify housekeeper Tong and ask him to help buy bedding and some other things.
"Grandma, just bring your daily necessities. Everything else is available everywhere."
"You have the bedding too?"
"Yes, they are all new."
"Okay, let's go over there."
Old Man Ma looked at Wen Zhenyi and said, "You must have another purpose for acting without authorization."
Wen Zhen blinked his eyes: "Grandpa, what do you think is the purpose?"
"If we bought it ourselves, people would inevitably gossip about it, after all, your uncle and cousin both have official positions. But if you say it was a gift from you, that's another matter."
"Old ginger is still spicy." Wen Zhenyi did have some considerations about instant noodles.
Old Man Ma smiled and shook his head. It was a blessing for his family to have such a granddaughter.
They started packing up today, and Wen Zhenyi didn't stay here, but returned to the house.
Shen Hanxing was sitting in the pavilion in the yard to cool off. When he saw her come in, he said, "You're back."
"I'm back. Have you eaten?"
"We've had dinner. Madam Tong's cooking skills are quite good."
"It seems like you've eaten a lot. I need to adapt as well. I can't always rely on you to stay alive."
"I would be happy to extend your life."
A smile appeared on Shen Hanxing's face: "I heard from Butler Tong that you bought a house."
"It wasn't really bought by me. I just lent money to my grandma and her family to buy it."
Chen Hanxing was also a smart man. He could understand the twists and turns in the story after a while: "It should be not far from here."
"It's not far. If there were no houses left on this street, I would buy them one."
"The houses on this street are not cheap."
"Let's not talk about whether it's cheap or not. It's true that there isn't any. The house I bought for them is not bad either. I'll take you to see it tomorrow."
Chen Hanxing nodded: "In a few days, let's go to the temple outside the city to burn incense together."
"Okay, I just happened to ask Butler Tong today about what fun things to do around here."
"If you want to go, I can go with you."
"It won't interfere with your studies."
The two chatted for a while, and seeing that it was getting late, they dispersed and went back to their own yards to rest.
Wen Zhenyi chose a relatively secluded yard, not far from everyone else's yard, but not too close either.
She was also afraid that she would be discovered when she sneaked out one day.
the next day.
Ma Can and Ma Yuruo went to the government office to ask for leave to move.
When County Magistrate Lei and a group of yamen runners learned that their family had bought a new house, they were all a little surprised. When they found out that the house was bought for them by Wen Zhenyi.
The expressions on their faces changed from surprise to jealousy. They also wanted a niece and sister like this, and wondered if they could exchange them.
Some off-duty yamen runners even took the initiative to help the Ma family move, but when they arrived at the new house, their envious expressions became even more intense.
This house is really nice, both the location and the house are great.
Old Mrs. Ma originally thought that what Wen Zhenyi said was good, and it was just slightly better than an ordinary house. But when she saw it, she realized that what Wen Zhenyi said was worth it.
All the furniture is made of Huanghuali wood, and each piece is exquisitely crafted. The windows, the foyers, and the carvings are all exquisite.
Even the flowers and plants planted in the yard are rare varieties.
Ma Ruier fell in love with it as soon as she saw it: "My cousin has really good taste."
Wen Zhenyi smiled and pinched her face: "There is a yard that I think is suitable for you."
"Take me to see it quickly." Ma Ruier was a little impatient.
Wen Zhenyi said something to the others and took her to the backyard.
Ma Ruier walked to the gate of the yard and saw the flowers planted next to it. It was not the flowering season yet, but she could imagine how beautiful the scenery would be when they bloomed.
The rooms are spacious enough, and each courtyard has a bathroom, a toilet, a study, and an ear room, so it can be said that it has everything you need.
Ma Ruier loved this yard so much that she immediately moved all her clothes here and occupied the yard.
Old Mrs. Ma’s courtyard is in the middle and is also the largest courtyard.
Old Man Ma looked here and there with his hands behind his back: "I didn't expect that after living for so much of my life, I could still live in such a big house."
"Old Constable, you are so lucky."
"I'm blessed to have a wonderful granddaughter."
The yamen runners helped to organize everything together. Since we didn’t buy any ingredients for the move today, we simply took the people who came to help to Zuixianju for a meal.
Ma Can did not forget to call County Magistrate Lei and the yamen runners who were on duty and could not come. He also booked two more tables and asked the waiters in the restaurant to deliver them to the yamen.
Wen Zhenyi did not go with them, but returned to his house and made a simple meal with Shen Hanxing and Axiang.
The days that followed were quite comfortable. She either went boating or went to the temple to burn incense with Shen Hanxing.
Or he would go to the nearby mountains and forests with Axiang to catch some wild game.
As the New Year approaches, the things that Wen Zhenyi had previously purchased from Haiwa and Uncle Jiang's family have been delivered to their homes one after another.
This made several families very happy. Although the holiday gifts Wen Zhenyi sent were not many, they were all precious.
These things are not necessarily something you can eat just because you have money.
Mr. Song came to visit on the 28th day of the lunar year.
"Miss Wen."
"Master Song."
"You already call my dad Grandpa Song, why are you still calling me Master Song when you come to me?"
"Uncle Song." Wen Zhenyi is also a sensible person.
Mr. Song smiled and nodded: "I agree to what you said before."
Wen Zhenyi took out the contract that had been drafted long ago and placed it on the table: "Uncle Song, take a look at this contract. If there are no problems, we will sign the contract."
Mr. Song was not surprised at all that she had been prepared. This girl would not fight a battle without confidence. She picked up the contract and took a look. There was no problem, so she signed her name and pressed her seal.
Wen Zhenyi also took out the recipes for other soup bases and the drawings of hot pot utensils.
Mr. Song looked at the peculiarly shaped pot and asked, "Why does it look a bit like Bagua?"
