Chapter 170 Promotion to a new home

The two sons are old, and it is time to do more things. The daughter is young, but she is premature, so it doesn't matter if she listens. So Tao said everything, even what Pearl overheards. Shen Bomi was speechless. Over the years, he thought he had seen through his uncle and father, but he didn't expect that they were so shameless.

"All right, don't look like you're hit. It's not a bad thing to separate the family. The three-bedroom family has lived together for more than ten years. When I see the sky grinding my teeth and talking, I think I can live a peaceful life for a few days. When Qingyin comes in, I will be lighter and don't have to serve my mother-in-law on the two floors." The more Tao said, the more he felt that it was too late to separate the family, and he wished he could move out today.

Under the deliberate teaching of Tao, Shen Baimi and Shen Baiyu had little affection with their cousins, and were not resistant to the separation. They learned the reason and did not say more. Chen Dan imagined that after the separation, he would not have to get up early to pay his respects to Chen's mother, nor did he have to eat sweet food. Like Tao, he wanted to divide the family and move out quickly.

When the Shen family was busy splitting the family, the censor also heard the news and impeached Chen Muzai and Shen Muke. As Chen Muzai expected, his official rank was small, but many people impeached him. It was not the censor who picked a soft man, but Chen Muzai was the eldest brother. When his father died, the elder brother was like his father and did not take care of Chen Mushi well. His elder brother was responsible. Chen Muke was the younger brother, and the younger one could not control the older one.

The Chen Muzai brothers had already thought about the words, and Chen Muzai said, "Not to mention that we have separated, my second brother has married a daughter-in-law and wants to be a grandfather. Why do I have a lot of care for me as an elder brother? Is he not listening, and I beat him up and let him listen?"

Someone retorted: "Since you are separated, why are you three still living in the same house?"

"This is what the old man means. I want to see the eldest grandson get married in the old house, but my second brother and I haven't moved out. Now my eldest nephew is married, so we will move on the auspicious day." Chen Muke explained.

There was no big storm about the wedding banquet of the second house. On September 29th, it was a good time to enter the house. The third house moved out of the old house of Shen and moved into the big house opposite the Cheng family. The house was the one that Tao had previously loved. He had bought it for 8,000 taels of silver. In order to live comfortably, he found an intermediary and lobbed Shen Muke, and persuaded Chen Muke and sold the house to Chen Muke for 6,700 taels of silver.

The land deed, Tao’s excuses for the elder son to retire in the future, wrote the name of Shen Bomi. Chen Muke is not young anymore and has never given birth to a man or a woman in these years. I am afraid that these two legitimate sons will be the ones in this life, and he has not opposed the name of Shen Bomi. What Chen Muke didn’t know was that he had 6,500 taels of silver and entered Tao’s pocket at the turn of his hand.

The house is larger than the one I bought in Lutai back then. On the central axis are five large yards with four entrances, six three entrances and four two entrances on the east side, two two entrances and seven one entrances on the west side, three corner courtyards, three gardens of different sizes and a small pond, and water pavilions are built beside the pond. The first three entrance courtyard is cleaned up and it becomes a yard for guests. The second three entrance courtyard is Shen Muke, and the third three entrance courtyard is empty. The Tao lives in the fourth three entrance courtyard, and he took the courtyard called "Ruoshuiyuan", which comes from the word "Shangshan Ruoshui".

Chen Danxia lives in the third second courtyard in the east, and the name of the courtyard is the previous "Zhiyuan"; Shen Bomi's brothers live in the first third courtyard and the second third courtyard on the east side respectively. The reason why the two brothers live in such a spacious place was that Tao wanted to be in place at one time. When getting married, the two brothers didn't have to make a fuss. The name of the courtyard is also the previous "Chouyuan" and "Houdeyuan". If their daughter-in-law doesn't like it, it will be changed. Chen Danhui and Shen Danxun live in the first second courtyard, and the name of the courtyard is "Jingyuan"; Chen Dannian and Shen Danbi live in the second second courtyard together, and the courtyard is the name of "Shuyuan". The concubines are connected, and Tao asks them to choose the courtyard on the west side. Dong Qixiu chose a two-enterprise courtyard, named "Yazhiyuan". Chen Muke asked Aunt Li to live in another two-enterprise courtyard and personally named it "Yao Tiaoyuan".

Chen Danxia was disgusted by Chen Muke's shamelessness. It was really filthy for the beautiful poem. Moreover, it would be fine if this Aunt Li was born from a lowly family, but she was still a woman with evil intentions. She secretly sent her two secret pictures, trying to lure her down; if she hadn't known that this woman's backer was Prince Anping and Chen Muke was protected tightly, she would have to slowly plan it, otherwise she would have thought of a way to kill this bitch.

Chen Danxia covered her mouth and vomited a few times. When she turned her eyes, she saw the jar held by the maid. The drunken dates were too much, so it would have turned into red date wine, right? "Shiqin, pick up a few drunken dates and come out. Jinshu, go to the eldest young master's yard and ask the eldest young master to invite Mr. Xu to come over to dinner." Chen Danxia imagined that Xu Lang tasted the drunken dates she made with her own hands.

After the Shen family split up, the order of each room was based on the order of each room. Shen Bomi became the eldest young master, Chen Danxia was the third girl, and Chen Dantiao, who "dead of illness", occupies the title of the second girl.

Shen Bomi was very unhappy to invite Xu Lang, but when his sister said that, he didn't dare to ignore him, so he had to change his clothes and invite someone. Xu Lang was busy with official business and had not seen Chen Danxia for five or six days. Today, he happened to be free and was about to go to the Shen family for a meal. Shen Bomi came. He was overjoyed and didn't even refuse politely, so he followed him.

Xu Lang often came and went there. When Tao saw him, he didn't think much about it. He asked the servants to prepare wine and food. The five of them sat down at the table. Chen Danxia asked the maid to send a plate of drunk dates, "Brother Lang, this is drunk dates. I made them myself. You can try them."

"Okay." Xu Lang picked up a drunken date and put it in his mouth. The mellow aroma of wine mixed with a faint date fragrance. Because it has been brewed for a long time, the dates melt in their mouths, and are sweet and not greasy. "Little Jiumei is good at craftsmanship."

"Brother Lang likes to eat, so he brings a small jar back later." Chen Danxia said generously.

"No need to bring it, I often come here to eat in the future." Xu Lang said with a smile.

Shen Bomi glanced at him and said, "You have come diligently enough."

"What are you talking nonsense?" Tao glared at Shen Bomi and smiled at Xu Lang, "Lang Ge'er, don't listen to him, you will be here every day."

"Don't worry, Aunt Tao, I pretend that Brother Mi said, I didn't hear what he said, and I won't go to my heart." Xu Lang guessed that Shen Bomi had already noticed him and Shen Danxia, ​​so he was not a nose for him, and his eyes were not an eye. Xu Lang didn't care about Shen Bomi's bad attitude at all, who made him want to abduct someone's sister.

After dinner, Shen Bomi used the excuse to ask Xu Lang to help him set up a study and forced him away, not giving him a chance to get along with Chen Danxia.

On the second day of October, the second house of the Shen family moved into a new house; Chen Mushi and Zhou were not as relaxed as Chen Muke and Tao, and they didn't buy a big house. Wei Mudan got another temper, but this time Shen Bokuan didn't hold it anymore and slept with a maid that night.

Moving to a new house, a banquet was held. The second house of the Shen family was scheduled to be held on the tenth day of October, and ten tables were held in the inner and outer courtyards. Zhou was scolded by Shen Mushi for the wedding banquet. This time, the promotion banquet was reduced a lot, with only chickens and fish on the table. Wei Mudan, who was very particular about appearance, had a dark face, and was squeezed by her two sisters-in-law in her parents' family, and then she was thunderous at Shen Baikuan at night. Shen Baikuan was also a spoiled person, and he was also a person who couldn't stand it. He slapped Wei Mudan in the face. He was so angry that Wei Mudan cried all night and returned to her parents' house the next day.

The matter of the second house and the third house is far away, so I am not very clear about it. Besides, the Tao is busy preparing for the treat, so I have no time to take care of it. The third house of the Shen family is scheduled to treat it on October 16th, and thirty tables were opened in the inner courtyard and the outer courtyard. In the inner courtyard, the Tao brought Chen Danxia and Shen Danxun to accompany the guests, and the outer courtyard was Chen Muke and Shen Bomi brothers.

Chen Muke is a fourth-rank official and invited a family of officials below the fourth-rank. The Tao family and Yuan family also came to join in the fun because they were in-laws. Chen Wanwan came back a month ago and went to the second house on the tenth day of the first lunar month. Today, she brought her second daughter Yu Yisha and her son Yu Rong to the third house to congratulate her. Chen Muke also brought her children to the banquet. She still looked down on the third sister-in-law, and if Chen Muke was not a fourth-rank official, she would not have gone this trip.

Before noon, the guests gathered together in groups of small circles, either playing cards in the small flower hall, listening to operas in the western hall, or chatting in the warm pavilion; although the October brocade is already cold, there are winter scenery in winter, and cold-resistant plants such as early blooming red plums, wintersweets, camellia tea make the courtyard particularly bright.

Tao, Mrs. Yuan, Mrs. Miao, Mrs. Jin, and Chen Wanwan chatted with cups of tea. As they were talking, the topic was about the newly bought house of the Shen family. Chen Wanwan smiled and said, "San Sister-in-law, this house is well bought and the scenery is also good, especially when I came in, the red plum trees I saw were full of trees, and they were bright red. Unfortunately, it didn't snow. If it snowed, the white snow contrasted with the red flowers, it would be even more elegant."

"I've been looking forward to it snowing after Mrs. Yu said so I can walk on the snow and enjoy the plum blossoms." Old Mrs. Yuan interrupted with a smile.

Miao took photos of Tao and said, "Peer, I'll tell you, when will you please leave a post? I'll invite a few of us to take a look around your yard."

"Okay, isn't it easy to post? When it snows heavily, I'll ask you. Don't think it's cold and don't want to come." Tao agreed readily.

Everyone laughed and said, "I must come."

The wives had a great time talking and were very happy. Even Lin, Zhou and Shen Gong were also tactful and did not disturb the Tao. However, there were also people who were uninterested, such as Xu Wen, who boasted in front of Shen Danxia how good the scenery of Prince Anping's mansion was and how bad the scenery of the new house of Shen's family was. Chen Danxia asked her calmly when she repeated the scenery in Prince Anping's mansion for the third time, Chen Danxia asked calmly: "Cousin Wen can read?"

"What do you mean? You dare to underestimate me!" Xu Wen said angrily.

"Since cousin Wen is literate, he should know that the "Imperially Decreed Dafeng Tongzhi" is clearly written. There is a difference between the mansion of the fourth-rank official and the mansion of the prince's mansion. If the mansion of the fourth-rank official is the same as the mansion of the prince's mansion, it would be arrogant and would be punished. Cousin Wen is bold and timid. If we want to compare, please compare your mansion with the prince's mansion. The Shen family dare not." Chen Danxia said righteously.
