Chapter 010 New Home
Wang Pengfei is a man with a heart and a righteous man. Since Lin Zimo and he mentioned Jia San, he has led people to patrol the streets every day and always pays special attention to all kinds of people around the Lin family. In private, I also gave some special things to my subordinates and gave priority to handling the affairs of the Lin family. As for the people on the street, they were beaten even more by him.
Two days later, Wang Pengfei personally brought some government official business to help Lin Zimo move to a new house. The Lin family doesn't have much valuable things, so it is quite light to move. In addition to some soft and contracts in the family, there are only three people's personal belongings and a pile of books. Lin Zimo came to his new home on East Street surrounded by a group of people.
The house given to him by Wang Fugui is really good, like a little rich family. The garden is no longer surrounded by fences, but by white stone-gray walls. On the left and right sides of the big house door, there are doors and households respectively. The so-called "doordang" refers to a pair of stone drums in front of the door of the mansion, and the drums are located on the base of the door. Because the drums are magnificent and majestic, as fierce as thunder, the people believe that they can avoid evil, so the people widely use stone drums to replace "doordang".
And the so-called "household pair" is the brick carving and wood carving placed on the lin or on both sides of the door lin. The shape is divided into a circle and a square. The circle is a civilian, and the square is a military officer, and the size of the household is directly proportional to the size of the official product. Household pairs can be six from 1 to 5 products, four from 6 to 7 products, and only two below. Ordinary large families can also have two. Typically, there are round short columns, which are about one foot long, parallel to the ground and perpendicular to the door linters. It is located on the portal and takes an double number. Some have two pairs, and some have four pairs, so they are called "household pairs." The short cylindrical shape of "hu pair" is because it represents the concept of male in people's reproductive worship, which is intended to pray for popularity and long-lasting incense.
The Ming Dynasty was a patriarchal system with "courtesy" as the core, which respected the orderliness and inferiority, and there were internal and external difference. The layout of Lin Zimo's new home is in the form of a small quadrangle. The park is also very wide, and there is a well in the corner for easy access to water. He is still satisfied with the house given by Wang Fugui. While slowly enjoying themselves, under the command of Yang Mengqi, everyone played their respective duties and carried things in and out.
Wang Pengfei came to Lin Zimo's left hand, touched his jaw, and said with a smile, "This house is really good. It should be worth 100 taels of silver."
Lin Zimo knew that the house in the Ming Dynasty was not high. After all, no one did the immoral thing of speculating in real estate at that time. I knew better that there was no shared area in all the houses at that time. I have a good idea of Wang Fugui's generous action. I don't think he is a good person, but has a very strong purpose.
"Brother Wang, let me into the room and have a look." Lin Zimo said with a smile.
Wang Pengfei, who answered 'OK', followed him into the inner room. The layout of the living room is a typical popular style of the Ming Dynasty. In front of the wall are two left and right chairs, and in the middle of the chair is a table for tea. On both sides of the door, there is a row of chairs, and between the chairs and chairs, there is a Ming-style coffee table for tea. Several pairs of landscape paintings were hung on the white wall. Although these are not the hands of famous artists, they serve as the finishing touch.
As for the inner hall, it was not convenient for Wang Pengfei to visit, so he sat down with Lin Zimo in the front hall and drank tea and chatted with the guests. Chu Hanlu led her parents, brother and sister as a "little tour guide". Yang Mengqi hired two diligent wives and a good cook from his hometown and instructed them to do their own things.
"To be honest, I don't want to participate in next year's trial." Lin Zimo saw that there was no one in the room and said what he thought.
Wang Pengfei was shocked and couldn't believe it at all. He shook his head and smiled, "You must be joking with me."
"I'm not laughing, but seriously." Lin Zimo lowered his voice and said, "Is it unknown whether high school can be? They are still young, and I can't rest assured if they are left at home. I want to get a job in the public door of this county, and it's the right thing to support the whole family.
Wang Pengfei saw his serious look and knew that it was by no means a joke. He tried to persuade him, "It's a big deal. I still hope you can think about it again. Recently, the road has not been peaceful, and there have been rebels against the imperial court under the jurisdiction of Xunzhou Prefecture. However, I don't think they dare to attack the city and plunder the land.
"I have thought about this matter over and over again." Lin Zimo said heartfeltly, "Although Yang Mengqi is sensible, she can't control many things. As for Chu Hanlu, you have also seen that she is a little girl who has not woken up. Although I am a powerless scholar, it's always good to have a man at home.
"The road is the most annoying." Wang Pengfei said the truth: "If you go to the exam, you will definitely go through the county. Safety is a big problem. Except for Guangxi Province, the other provinces passed through are calm.
Lin Zimo is well aware of the current situation. After all, he did not sleep in ** a few days ago and heard some news from many parties. Wang Pengfei's words are more practical for the rebels in Guangxi Province.
"Brother Wang, please help me." Lin Zimo politely said, "I will submit my situation to the county government office in the form of an official document, then transfer it to the Xunzhou government through the county government office, and finally reach the official department. As for what position the Ministry of Administration is willing to assign to me, then I can only leave it to fate.
Wang Pengfei felt his resolute attitude and really regretted for him: "Since your mind has been determined, I must do my best. I promise that the official document about you can arrive at home as soon as possible and safely.
"Thank you very much." Lin Zimo, who got up, arched his hand and sincerely thanked him.
The banquet started on time under Yang Mengqi's Zhang Luo. Chu Hanlu and his family sat at a table, while Lin Zimo, Wang Pengfei and Xiucai, who came to congratulate them, sat at a table. Naturally, Yang Mengqi will not forget to set up two tables for the officials and neighbors who came to help, and he was in the neighbor's seat. The whole forest house is full of laughter, drinking and boxing... It is intertwined and lively together. After the banquet was gone, Lin Zimo left the Chu family behind. The front hall was full of his family. He was sitting on the armchair, while Chu Da was sitting in the chair he was in.
Lin Zimo asked Yang Mengqi to bring the house deed and land deed of his hometown and put it in front of Chu Da and said, "When I married Hanlu, I should not have given a dowry (I haven't given it at all). Although the three rooms are a little simple, they are finally occupant.
Chu Da's eyes were blurred with drunkenness and said without hesitation: "Since it's what my son-in-law gave me, I'll accept it. I know you will be a capable person, but I hope you can be kind to my little daughter for the rest of your life. Although she is not a lady and can't read, at least she grew up with you. If she makes a big mistake, I hope you can open up and stop her.
Lin Zimo nodded and promised, and then ordered Yang Mengqi to send the small gifts prepared for a long time to the rest of the Chu family. The Chu family who received the things were happy and felt that he was a good man who did not forget the past. After the Chu family and helpers left Lin's house, Lin Zimo, Yang Mengqi and Chu Hanlu returned to the inner hall.
Now that there are conditions, the three of them can't sleep to a ** face. He doesn't miss the days when the three of them sleep in the same bed. After all, there are some things that are inconvenient to do. It's really uncomfortable for the three of them to sleep together. According to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, Yang Mengqi naturally lived in the upper room with him, while Chu Hanlu could only live in the east wing.
Lin Zimo, who returned to the north room, sat by the edge of the bed and joked, "Tonight, I will definitely have a bridal chamber with my wife."
Yang Mengqi said blankly, "Didn't my father-in-law and I have been in the same room for a long time? Why do you still want the bridal chamber?"
Lin Zimo curled his mouth and said with a smile, "Do you really understand or falsely?"
Yang Mengqi, who was full of confusion, opened his eyes and said, "The slave family really doesn't understand the meaning of their father-in-law."
Lin Zimo, who was a little drunk, saw the truth in her words from her pure eyes. Although he had no idea of playing Yang Mengqi at the beginning, he would think about ** after he was satisfied. Besides, she is indeed long-lasting, and when the two get along with each other, they inevitably have some thoughts between men and women.
Lin Zimo laughed badly and said, "You don't know, it doesn't matter. My husband can teach you."
Yang Mengqi noticed that he didn't seem to have a good heart, but he didn't know what bad water was in his stomach? The only thing I can be sure of is that he will never hurt her.
Without thinking about it, she said gently, "Let the slave family serve her father-in-law to clean up so that she can lie down and rest."
Yang Mengqi was ready to turn around and leave the house and wanted to wash his face and feet with hot water. Lin Zimo saw that she was so pure and virtuous that he couldn't bear to do it for a moment. I don't know how long I can stay here. If he returns to the 21st century soon, won't he hurt her? I know that as long as there is the first time, there will be countless times.
Thinking of this, Lin Zimo hesitated and said, "Don't you really regret marrying me?"
Yang Mengqi said clearly about his sudden question: "Why did your father-in-law ask this question?"
"I think the two of us got married without having an affair. Is it a little hasty? Do you feel a little forced?" Lin Zimo explained in a hurry.
"Henggu Zhijin is the order of parents, the words of the matchmaker. It's too late for the slave family to marry their father-in-law, and they don't feel forced. Yang Mengqi said that he drank too much wine and said some drunken words, and didn't pay attention to it at all.
