Chapter 240 New House

When we arrived at the house, it wasn't too big, but everything was taken care of, including the cooks and servants.

Wei Yan smiled and turned around, then took out a sign and said, "I'll come again tomorrow. If the old man has any urgent matters, take this token to the sword shop at the corner of the street to call someone, and I will get the news from here."

Yan Yi also handed over the servants' indentures and said, "You are all tired from the journey. Take a good rest first. I will come again tomorrow."

Old Escort Chief Lin refused to take it and tried to push it away, but Yan Yi simply put the indenture on the table, bowed with a smile and left.

There are only a few people from the Lin family left, and you look at me and I look at you.

After a while, Lin Dalang said, "Dad, pinch me, why do I feel like I'm dreaming?"

"Nonsense!" Old Escort Leader Lin slapped him on the back and said, "Rong'er and Chang'er have made great progress. How can this be a dream? This cannot be a dream!!"

After that, he couldn't help but ask his son: "Does it hurt?"

"It hurts!" Lin Dalang suddenly laughed foolishly: "It hurts! This is not a dream! Dad! Wife! This is not a dream!"

He wiped away his tears shamefully, "It's not a dream, it's really not a dream!"

…………

In Yutang Village, after finishing the letter, Mrs. Lin also recovered.

She felt a little embarrassed for not noticing so much with the child, so she quickly changed the subject: "Xinbaoer, our new house is ready, do you want to go take a look?"

Xinbao nodded anxiously: "Yes! Yes!"

So several people came out together and met Brother Yuan, and Madam Lin gave him the letter.

It's not easy to write a letter these days, and not everyone can use the post station. If Brother Yuan hadn't said he could help deliver the letter, Madam Lin would have had to deliver the New Year's goods.

But no matter what, she felt more at ease with the banknote.

She took her daughter to see the new house.

Before she even got there, she saw the twins standing on the rooftop calling her, "A-niang! Xinbao! Brother Xiaojue! Come here quickly!!"

Xinbao immediately became excited: "Here I come!!"

Yan Shenjue jumped up directly holding her in his arms and looked around.

It’s no wonder that the villagers are jealous, as this courtyard is indeed very grand.

The layout of the entire yard is similar to that of a quadrangle with two entrances. At the back of the house, there is a whole row of granaries without eaves, and there is a back door next to them.

The main house is a two-story building with three large main rooms on the upper and lower floors. The upper floor is where the old couple lives, and the lower floor is reserved for the elder.

There is a hall on the east side and an annex on the west side, which is a small three-room building where Mr. Shen can live. Xinbao lives above the west annex.

The independent wing rooms on the east and west sides of the courtyard are all built with two rooms on each side. They are also two-story buildings. They are all large rooms and can be divided into two or three small rooms with top cabinets. The bedrooms are independent, which is enough for living in when getting married in the future.

There is a small sky bridge connecting the main house and the wing rooms, and there are large side rooms between the wing rooms and the back house. On one side is the kitchen, and on the other side is a small flower hall, which serves as a secondary kitchen for making tea or something.

The small flower hall and kitchen both have flat roofs, which can be used to dry clothes and grain, as well as to enjoy the cool air. There is also a space left for climbing the grape trellis.

The most unique thing is that on the right side of the small building, which is the original location of the spring, a small pond was built based on the spring, which can be regarded as a small scenic spot. A small courtyard was built, and when flowers are planted, it will become a place to enjoy the scenery and cool off.

At the back of the house, an open hall was built, which can be used as a study or to entertain guests. Of course, if villagers come to visit, they can be entertained in the small flower hall, which is about the same size as the main hall of an ordinary family.

Actually, Tang Qingshan had originally planned to build only the main house into a building, so that each person in the family would have a room. However, because he met the Yuan family, the Shen family, Yan Shen Jue... and became their apprentice one after another, Tang Qingshan decisively built the east and west wing rooms into buildings as well. After all, although land in the countryside was not valuable, the foundation had been laid, and it would be difficult to expand further.

So after the building was completed, there were eight rooms on both sides, plus the main house, which was definitely enough for living.

In fact, if an expert were to encounter this kind of layout, he might think it was weird, but who could control it? They had to build and live in it according to the rules? Anyway, the children were so excited that they turned back and forth like they were walking in a maze. As soon as Yan Shenjue put Xinbao down on the ground, she ran away with her legs spread out. The twins also squeaked excitedly and called Yan Shenjue: "Little brother Jue! You choose first! Big brother said you should choose first!!"

Yan Shenjue paused. Living in the Tang family was originally a temporary solution, and he had never thought of living in their new home.

Before he could say anything, Xinbao came out of the house and pointed, "Brother Xiaoxian lives here! Live here!!"

She pointed to the second floor of the wing room: "Xinbao lives here, and Xiaoxian brother lives here. There is only a bridge in between! If Xinbao speaks loudly from the room, you can hear it!!"

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Seeing Tuanzi's big, shiny eyes full of joy, Yan Shenjue shamelessly nodded: "Yeah, okay."

The twins cheered, "Oh! That's great, we can live here! Big brother said he would give the building to us! We can both live upstairs!" The two naughty kids cried excitedly, "Mom, let's move today! Let's move today!"

Madam Lin laughed and said, "We're moving today, and we don't have anything. We're sleeping on the floor. We're freezing to death."

Xinbao suddenly remembered: "Where do grandpa and uncle live?"

Mrs. Lin smiled helplessly and said, "Silly girl, grandpa and uncle won't come."

She was really looking forward to their coming. Old Escort Captain Lin was already sixty years old, and her brother was already in his forties. How could she feel comfortable asking them to run such a long journey again?

"You can let them come," Yan Shenjue said, "I'll ask someone to entrust the escort to them. They can't refuse to accept the escort."

Madam Lin was startled, then delighted: "Really! Can it work?"

Yan Shenjue said, "Wait a few days, I'll ask someone to try it out."

Madam Lin thanked him repeatedly and jumped down from the second floor to talk to Tang Qingshan.

Tang Qingshan listened to her quietly, then said, "It's a good opportunity to buy the house we lived in before. Don't worry, I'll do it."

He felt guilty towards Old Taishan.

After all, although they had escorted goods before, they had always taken shortcuts. They knew everyone on every hill and could work hard for a few days and then rest for a few days. There was basically no danger. But now, because of them, they could only run far away and walk for several months at a time. It was like crossing a river blindfolded. If something happened, he would never be able to get over it for the rest of his life.

Old Taishan and several of his uncles are all kind-hearted people. They have never treated Madam Lin as a married woman and have always supported them. Now that they are old, it would be good for them to take her in and take care of her.

He didn't mind living with them, but Old Escort Lin would definitely not agree. There was a big family over there as well, so it would be just right to buy over their previous courtyard.
