Wen Ya is sick and can’t get sick in the middle of winter. The second wife asked someone to hire several doctors and took a lot of medicine, but she just didn’t improve.

For this, the second wife complained a little about Xiao Yuan.

I think it was because the Xiao family set up a stage to perform in the winter, which made Wenya suffer from the cold and freeze like this.

She brought some out of her conversation.

This incident reached the old lady's ears.

If a young wife is so ignorant, the old lady might have to give her a few words of advice.

But the second wife is so old and she is also a mother-in-law. What can the old lady say? It’s really bad to give her shamelessness.

When there was no one, the old lady said to Xiang: "I saw your second sister-in-law as well, but who knew that the older I was, the more confused I became. That day, we watched the show together, and Ningning took off her big-wool clothes, and she was so thin that she didn't even get frozen. I, an old lady, was fine, but she was erotic and sick. She could blame others for her. You said, isn't this offending people?"

What can Xiang say?

It’s hard to say that my sister-in-law is not right at my parents’ house.

Looking back, Xiang talked about this with An Ning.

An Ning thought for a while: "I have been inquiring about the house these days. The Xiao family bought the house of Shilang Li. I asked. There was a house next to it that was lived in by Wang Shaoqing earlier. Recently, something happened to his family and he wanted to sell the house. He asked for a high price and was in a hurry to sell it. It was difficult to get rid of it for a while, so I thought about buying it."

"Okay." Xiang agreed very simply: "Don't worry about this matter. I'll ask the housekeeper to buy it. We'll fix it after buying it. We'll move it over next spring and summer."

The Qu family has a house in the capital, and the house is very large, but a widow in Xiang's family brought An Ning and a girl to live in. She was afraid that she would be bullied if she had no one to rely on her. Besides, the house was too big and the population was so small that it seemed too desolate to live in.

Therefore, Xiang took An Ning to the Marquis' Mansion on Pingyang to borrow a residence.

Now An Ning is about to get married, she has married, and Xiang lives alone. Originally, Xiang thought of always relying on his brother, but now with the second wife, she feels that it is not good to live under someone else's house, and she also has the intention to move away.

If she cannot depend on her parents' home, she, a widow, must rely on her son and son-in-law.

This is also the reason why An Ning wants to buy a house next to the Xiao family.

If you buy a house close by, you can take care of it nearby, and you will not let Xiang be lonely and helpless.

In the following days, Xiang asked the housekeeper to inquire about the Wang family's house, which was indeed selling there.

Xiang went over and asked An Ning to take a look.

To be honest, the Wang family’s house is small in size, but the house is really well built, with solid materials and well arranged inside. The furniture of all colors is very complete, and the garden is elegantly decorated. It can be said that it is the kind of person who moves in with his bag.

Especially his furniture is all solid mahogany. After buying a house, all the furniture is given away.

A house is a good house, but his family wants a little more money. The rich people in the capital have a lot of people. They cannot live in a small house. Those with a small population have a lot of money. They also want to buy a big house to enjoy. Those with insufficient money and those who want to buy a small house, but they really can't accept the price of their house.

The house was delayed for a while.

Xiang's family was rich, so she fell in love with the house and didn't say what the price was. She just went to Zhongren to deal with the Wang family, went to the yamen to change the house deed, and then asked the housekeeper to take the people to repair the house.

An Ning drew the drawings and asked the butler to find the craftsman to modify them according to the drawings.

When they were doing these things, the mother and the mother hid it from the people from the Pingyang Marquis' Mansion, and the old lady didn't know that they had bought a house.

The house was prepared before the Chinese New Year. After that, An Ning went to see it and thought it was pretty good.

On the Xiao family, Mrs. Xiao also knew about the second wife’s complaints. She said to Xiao Hui privately: “Fortunately your brother bought a house and we will move out after the New Year. Otherwise, how could we bear the anger.”

Xiao Hui comforted Mrs. Xiao: "She is also worried about the second girl."

Mrs. Xiao curled her lips: "Worrying that her girl can throw dirty water on others. She is watching our family be bullied and staying in her house, so she is venting on us. She is picking up soft persimmons and pinching them."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Xiao sighed: "I wonder if your father never forgot to let your brother reorganize his family before he died. Now it seems that there is no one here who can stand up here, and the whole family will be wronged. It is because your brother has already achieved fame and fortune. She dares to do this. If your brother is still alive, why would she be wronged us?"

Xiao Hui also had this idea.

She didn't persuade Mrs. Xiao anymore.

After that, Mrs. Xiao urged Xiao Yuan several times, just to get the house ready and move out early.

She told Xiao Yuan: "A golden nest and silver nest are not as good as a dog nest. No matter how good other people's houses are, they are not as comfortable as their own. Now, I want to go back to our own home early and save myself from being careful all day long, for fear that someone who doesn't pay attention to will be unhappy. It is obviously kind-hearted, and I always take care of everything and do everything in full, but some people still can't stand it."

Xiao Yuan knew that Mrs. Xiao was holding him aside.

He smiled and said, "I know that the wife loves me. I also want to move out early. After all, I am also a person with great fame. I will visit relatives and friends in the future. Sometimes it is not convenient for classmates and friends to come to discuss things. After all, I dare not bring people back if it is someone else's home. If I move to our own home, there will be more friends nearby. Some friends want to stay for a day or two, so it will be possible for them to."

"Isn't that the case? You and I thought of going to the same place." Mrs. Xiao nodded in a very pertinent way: "Your father loved to make friends when he was alive. At that time, our house was lively and busy all day long. When your uncles and your father were drinking and talking about poetry and enjoying themselves, they lived in our guest room. It was so good at that time. Now I really dare not entertain others. Now you have fame and fortune and have many things. It is really bad if you don't have your own house."

"Madam is very considerate." Xiao Yuan smiled and said to Mrs. Xiao: "These things were also complained to her son before, but her son thought of buying a house. Now he wants to come and buy a house in advance. He is really the right one. Otherwise, the wife is still wise."

Mrs. Xiao was so happy that she said this: "My son, we are just at home. Just let us say these things. We must not say to others. If someone knows, we must say I am frivolous."

Anyway, that's how things are. Both families want to move out early because of their second wife.

We waited until the New Year. The entire Pingyang Marquis Mansion was busy for the New Year, giving gifts everywhere, worshiping ancestors, preparing New Year's things, etc., so that the whole family could not touch the ground.

The Xiao family and An Ning family seemed very free at this time.

Xiang looked at the old and young men in the Hou Mansion going to the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors, and turned around and cried fiercely with An Ning.

"It's strange that girls are petite guests, but they are just guests. After getting married, they can't participate in anything when they go back to their parents' home. The family is lively and we are lonely and lonely. If your father is here, it wouldn't be like this."

An Ning was afraid that Xiang Shi would feel depressed, so she went to Xiao’s house to invite Mrs. Xiao to talk to Xiang Shi.

On New Year's Eve, the old lady asked someone to come and invite Xiang and An Ning to come together, but Xiang pushed him on the excuse of being filial.

The masters of the Pingyang Marquis' Mansion gathered in the main courtyard, and the whole family listened to operas, ate, drank and had fun.

An Ning accompanied Xiang to guard the house.

The two of them felt very miserable when they heard the sound of firecrackers outside.

When Xiang was waiting for the kitchen to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner, the Xiao family's four members came over.

Mrs. Xiao and Aunt Sun came over and sat down to talk to Xiang, and An Ning and Xiao Hui went to the kitchen to prepare for the New Year’s Eve dinner.

Xiang said to Xiao Yuan: "Why don't you go to the front yard for fun? What's the fun of accompanying us women?"

Xiao Yuan smiled and said, "It's also a matter of other people's family, but you are my relatives. If you don't accompany you, where can I go?"

Xiang also laughed: "That's right."
