Chapter 1465 House
Manbao went straight forward and pulled Mr. Zhuang out. There was no other way. Xiang Mingxue and the others were not at home, and only Mr. Zhuang and Daji and his wife were at home.
Eunuch Wu had boxes and various gift boxes brought in.
Manbao opened the box containing gold. As soon as he opened it, he saw the shining gold. Mr. Zhuang was stunned for a long time.
A small box was filled with gold ingots, each weighing ten taels, a total of fifty ingots.
It was also the first time that Manbao saw so much gold. He thought it looked particularly beautiful in its bright orange color.
She grabbed a handful and stuffed one directly into Mr. Zhuang's pocket. "Sir, this is for you."
Mr. Zhuang took it and said in surprise, "Why are you giving me gold?"
Manbao tilted his head and thought for a moment, then shook his head. "I don't know. Anyway, I want to give it to you if I'm happy. Sir, take it and have some tea."
Mr. Zhuang smiled and put the gold back, saying, "You don't need gold for tea. Keep this for your dowry when you buy a house or property."
Manbao couldn't help but sigh, "If only my dad were here..."
If her father were still alive, she would give him one ingot and he would ask for ten. Just thinking about it makes her happy.
Mr. Zhuang couldn't help but laugh, "If you miss your father, just write a letter home. It just so happens that Erlang wants to send a letter home, so I can ask him to deliver it as well."
Manbao nodded and decided to write a letter later.
Just as Eunuch Wu had brought all the things in and the emperor had left the alley, the emperor's eunuchs brought more things in...
The residents of Evergreen Lane were stunned.
From the end of last year to this year, they have seen many people from government offices and the imperial palace coming in and out here.
They had known for a long time that there was a capable family living next door. Not only did they have students from the Imperial College, but they also had a little miracle doctor.
Especially the young miracle doctor, not only some dignitaries, but also the emperor and empress in the palace would send things here from time to time.
But this is the first time that four consecutive trips have been made here to deliver so many things.
Unlike the gifts she received from the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess, she received the gifts and expressed her gratitude in the palace, but the gifts from the Emperor and his men were delivered directly here.
So Manbao could only set up an incense table to receive the emperor's orders, accept gifts, and express gratitude; then he would send the people away, and then he would have to receive the emperor's orders, accept gifts, and express gratitude again...
When Bai Shan and the others came back from school, Man Bao had just sent away the eunuchs from the Queen Mother's palace.
Then a group of people followed and looked at the things that filled the entire yard. Zhou Lixue said blankly: "There are so many things, little aunt, there is no room for them in your room, right?"
Zhou Ligu said, "It's okay to squeeze in, right? We received a lot of gifts before, and I didn't hear my aunt complain about being crowded."
Zhou Liru, who often went into her aunt's room, said blankly, "Oh, aunt, why didn't I feel that the things you put in the room were missing?"
Manbao waved his hand and said, "I'm hiding."
Manbao didn't care about other things, but she insisted on keeping the box of gold for herself.
There are also jewelry, which is also very valuable and easy to cash in.
But the easiest thing to cash in is cloth, which can be spent directly as money...
With this calculation, it seems that most of the things have to be stuffed into the system space.
Manbao felt that this was not a good idea. As she was planning which ones to temporarily put in Zhou Liru and their room and which ones to put in her room under the pretext of being put away, Bai Shan opened a box and asked, "What is this?"
Manbao turned around and saw it, and was immediately surprised, "Yes, I was so happy to see the gold that I forgot about it. The prince also gave me a house. Let's go and see the house."
Bai Shan asked, "Which house is this?"
Before Manbao could answer, he had already seen the address on the title deed, "Daze Street, Chongyuanfang..."
He silently looked up at Manbao, and Bai Dalang, who also ran over after school to join in the fun, was also surprised.
Mr. Zhuang looked at Manbao in surprise.
The others looked confused and asked, "What's wrong?"
Bai Shan folded up the house deed and put it neatly into the box. He said calmly, "Nothing. I just suddenly thought of a saying. Living in the capital is not easy. It seems a bit difficult to buy a big house."
Manbao asked, "Why buy such a big house?"
Bai Shan nodded repeatedly, "I also think it's not good for the house to be too big."
But when they appeared together in front of the house in Chongyuanfang, Manbao felt that he should take back what he had said yesterday.
Knowing that his sister had a house, Zhou Wulang and others closed the shop for a day to get familiar with the place and clean the house for their moving. They stood in front of the gate, looked up at the blank plaque on the door, and opened their mouths in shock.
In addition to Bai Shan and Mr. Zhuang who were well prepared, even Bai Dalang who had vaguely guessed something opened his mouth wide, not to mention Manbao and others.
Madam Liu helped Zheng get out of the car, looked up at the gate, then turned her head to look at the quiet and spacious streets around her, and said with a smile, "It's a nice place."
Zheng also nodded in surprise. Isn’t this a good place?
When she accompanied her husband to study in Beijing, the eldest branch of the Bai family still had a house in the capital. They came to Chongyuanfang to pay a visit. However, later on, several children of the eldest branch failed to pass the entrance examination to the Imperial College, and it was difficult to get in even with connections. The expenses in the capital increased day by day, so the whole family had to return to Longzhou.
But the house is still there, and it seems not far from here.
It's been almost twenty years, and her memory is not very good. She almost forgot where it is.
Manbao swallowed and turned to confirm with Bai Shan, "Is this where it's written on the deed?"
Bai Shan nodded with certainty, "It's here."
Zhou Lixue was eager to move, "Aunt, where are the keys? I'll go open the door!"
Bai Erlang finally came to his senses and shouted, "What key do you need? A house like this must have servants. Just knock on the door!"
After saying that, he rushed up.
Zhou Lixue and Zhou Ligu were stunned for a moment before they chased after him, grabbing him from both sides. Zhou Lijun also quickly grabbed the back of his collar and shouted, "If anyone wants to knock, it's not you who should do it..."
Before he could finish his words, Bai Shan had already pulled Man Bao past them and rushed forward, raising his hand and banging on the door...
Zhou Lijun and others who still want to grab the first prize...
Bai Shan knocked on the door and raised his eyebrows complacently, looking at them behind him. Bai Erlang and others also rushed up and saw that the door was still open. He couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that there is no one there? Should we climb over the wall and open the door?"
Seeing how naughty they were, Mrs. Liu couldn't help but smiled and shook her head.
There was a noise from inside the door, and everyone immediately held their breath, and then the door slowly opened before their eyes.
The doorman was a little confused when he opened the door and saw so many people. The two sides looked at each other for a long time, and Manbao finally said, "This is my home."
The concierge was stunned for a moment and then said, "Are you Dr. Zhou Xiao?"
He looked at the group of people behind her and asked cautiously without opening the door, "Um, no one brought you here? What about the house deed..."
Manbao immediately took out the house deed and showed it to him.
When the doorman saw the title deed, he immediately smiled, opened the door, and welcomed them in.
Because there were outsiders present, everyone looked at the gate with shining eyes, but they restrained themselves and stood outside the door looking at the gatekeeper.
See you at 8pm
