Ms. Sun felt that they were right to consider this, but she couldn't think that since it was her brother's house, she could keep fighting the autumn wind. If this news spread, Lu Baichuan would not be laughed at?
So Mrs. Sun asked Mrs. Yao to go out together to see if there was a better house that could be rented for her children.
As a result, after running around all day, I didn’t see any reliable houses. They were either too small, too expensive, or shabby. For a moment, I just felt overwhelmed.
When Jiang Jiuniang went to find her, she was complaining to Old Man Lu. First, she complained that it was difficult to find a house in the capital and the prices were prohibitively expensive. Then she directly turned to Old Man Lu and started scolding him for being unreliable. She doesn't worry about her children's affairs at all. She only runs to the teahouse all day long, which is disrespectful to her!
After hearing these words, Jiang Jiuniang was too embarrassed to go in and ruin the atmosphere, so she could only sit outside and wait for Ms. Sun to finish venting.
Every time Ms. Sun scolds someone, she doesn’t want to see them again, so she comes out after scolding them.
Sure enough, before Jiang Jiuniang could wait for a long time, Ms. Sun came out cursing. The moment she saw Jiang Jiuniang, she hurriedly shut her mouth, glanced inside, and without saying a word, she picked up Jiang Jiuniang and walked out. .
But we can’t let the old man know that the third daughter-in-law is outside listening to him being scolded. The old man is so proud of himself, but then she will complain again.
After leaving the courtyard where they lived, Mrs. Sun slapped Jiang Jiuniang and asked fiercely: "When did you come here and didn't say a word? Who do you want to scare to death!"
Jiang Jiuniang did not answer her words, but said: "Don't I have something to ask you about? About the problem of my sister-in-law and their residence."
As expected, Mrs. Sun was led astray, and then Just asked: "Do you have any idea?"
"That's for sure! I wanted to tell you this in the morning, but you are impatient. When I came, you had already gone out with Mrs. Yao."
Ms. Sun: ...
She didn’t think so much at the time. She was not thinking that the boss and the others were coming soon. She would help find the house in advance, and then it would be there. You can go directly there instead of going to the General's Mansion to go through the trouble.
When Jiang Jiu Niang saw the aggrieved look on her face, she just thought it was cute and said with a smile: "Mom, how can the yard outside be as good as ours? Now we live in the General's Mansion. We lived there before. The yard is now empty, and it’s big and wide over there, so it’s enough for the sisters-in-law and the others to live there.”
In fact, according to her opinion, it would be great if everyone could live directly in the General’s Mansion. She She still misses the feeling of living together as a big family before, but her family members are too self-conscious and don't want to trouble her or take advantage of her. They don't want to come to live in the general's mansion no matter what.
When Mrs. Sun heard this, she also thought this was a good idea. Her yard must be much better than outside.
"Then since it is empty, let them live in it, and the rent will be the same to you. Brothers will settle the accounts, and we will charge according to the outside price!"
In this way, she didn’t think it was too expensive. They were all family members anyway. As the saying goes, the rich water should not flow to other people’s fields, and the yard of Laosan and his family must be good and worth the price.
Jiang Jiuniang didn’t have any objections. She knew that if she paid less, her sister-in-law and the others would not be willing to live there.
Anyway, now that my family is making money, I can still afford the rent, so I don’t have to worry about it anymore.
A few days later, the Lu family arrived in the capital, and Lu Baichuan took people outside the city to greet them.
Since they separated after the New Year, the brothers have never seen each other again. Lu Baichuan has never had time to leave the capital. Only Jiang Jiuniang has gone back a few times, but not too many.
There was a lot of correspondence. They all knew that Lu Baichuan was suspended from work and was at home. Seeing that he actually had time to pick them up in person, Mr. Lu and Mr. Lu couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"Then based on the current situation, is it necessary for my second brother and I to visit Mr. Yao?"
When he sat down to drink tea in the post house, Lu The boss spoke carefully.
What they came to the capital to develop was the favor that the emperor wanted to give them before. Now that there seems to be a rift between the emperor and his third brother, they probably won’t have the idea of favor. Can they stay in the capital? What should I do if I stay here for a few days and then go back to Jingzhou?
Mrs. Yu saw that her man asked such a thing as soon as he opened his mouth, which ruined the atmosphere. She hurriedly helped explain: "Bai Chuan, your eldest brother has no other intention. He just thinks that if it is necessary to visit Mr. Yao, If so, I guess I will go there tomorrow after settling in, otherwise it would appear that we are disrespectful if we go late, but if we don’t have to visit, then we can just treat them to a meal a few days later.”
Yu has been in business for such a long time, so he has become bolder and has stronger expressive skills.
Mr. Lu nodded repeatedly: "Yes, that's what I mean! We have no experience before, so we are worried about offending others."
Lu Baichuan is obviously the eldest brother and sister-in-law. He didn't think too much about it, and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, everything will be done as promised before."
It would be inconvenient to say too much. If you say too much, it will inevitably leak out and cause trouble.
We are all a family. When he said this, we knew what to do.
In fact, they don’t necessarily have to be officials. They are able to get this thanks to their younger brothers.It doesn't matter if they don't get it, my brother doesn't owe them anything.
What's more, now that their life is so good, it's too late to be happy, so how can they think too much about trivial things.
With such thoughts, the Lu family’s hearts will not be broken up.
After entering the city, Lu Baichuan sent them directly to the mansion where they lived before and let them choose their own courtyard.
"You can take a rest after the long journey. Jiu'er and I will come to pick you up in the evening and have a meal together. There is no need to get angry here."
Everyone nodded. They were indeed a little tired, but they didn't expect that Lu Baichuan would bring them to live in the previous mansion. He thought about asking his mother and his third brother and sister for a while.
The house is owned by maids and servants. I have helped them clean up the yard a long time ago, so I can go back to sleep.
In the evening, Jiang Jiuniang came with Lu Baichuan, and Lei Zijiezi and several other children, whose parents had not been seen for a while.
When Jiang Jiuniang met her two sisters-in-law and sister-in-law, she was very excited and immediately joined in a group.
"I haven't seen you for a while. Xiao Doudou has grown so big. Have you officially given a name?"
"Jiang Jiuniang took her little nephew from Qin's arms and hugged her. Here, the child is white and chubby, and is the happiest of the children. He has been well clothed and well-fed since he was born.
"Not yet, I plan to ask dad to pick him up when he is one year old. Now it is quite easy to call him Xiaodoudou."
Mrs. Qin smiled, and her whole body was full of emotions. With the glory of motherhood.
In fact, Old Man Lu has long thought about naming this little grandson, but he has never thought of what to call him, so he thought about putting it off until now.
"That's okay, Xiaodoudou sounds really good! Xiaodoudou, I am the third aunt, do you still remember me?"
Jiang Jiu Niang likes children very much, holding her in her arms She refused to let go. Xiao Doudou also liked her very much. She kept grinning and didn't recognize her at all.
