272. And the new student
Although 500 liang sounds a lot. However, not to mention the things Shi Jingtao did for her, just talking about the past year that he had been running errands from the capital to the north, and from the north to Haizhou, and other things along the way, 500 liang was not much.
Of course, Rong Qiaoyan still has money in her hands.
When she was in the temple, there were about 8,000 taels. Even after this period, there were still about 7,000 taels left.
Today, she bought a second-hand house in Haizhou Prefecture. The house costs about 1,000 taels.
Now, she still has about 6,000 taels. Therefore, even if she gives one thousand taels, she can afford it.
only.....
The money is not revealed! She is afraid that Shi Jingtao will have a strange intention if she gives too much.
After all, there was no relationship between Shi Jingtao and her for more than ten years.
"Miss, there is no need to be like this. When the lady saved my brother and sister that day, we said we would repay the kindness." Shi Jingtao quickly refused.
"On the same day, I also agreed with you that if you do something for me, I will have to pay it. But the money is limited..."
However, Shi Jingtao understood Rong Qiaoyan's words.
On the road to poor families and wealth, everything costs money if you eat, wear, live, and travel.
Especially, Rong Qiaoyan's way of spending money while traveling around the country made him worried.
He reminded Rong Qiaoyan several times, but she turned around and didn't pay attention.
Yes, after all, I was once a lady from a big family, so it was normal that I couldn’t change it for a while. It was only when I was about to arrive in Haizhou that I became restrained.
Thinking of this, Shi Jingtao refused again.
Rong Qiaoyan didn't want to waste her words. She made Shi Jingtao tough and asked him to take out the deeds and burn them together.
"We'll have some rest here and they'll escort us to Yuanzhou. You'll go back to your hometown tomorrow. I know, you're still thinking about your hometown."
On the way, Rong Qiaoyan often heard Shi Jingtao mention the escort agency, and she was completely depressed as decadent as before. She knew that he must have been the opposite.
Fortunately, she also knew that such capable good people would not be willing to be servants for a long time.
Therefore, their contract for sale was confiscated at that time, and they just signed a short contract.
Shi Jingtao refused, and Rong Qiaoyan said firmly.
In the end, the Shi brothers and sisters were decided to return to their hometown tomorrow.
Rong Qiaoyan specially instructed the Shi brothers and sisters to keep her identity confidential, so the Shi brothers and sisters naturally agreed.
During this period, Shi Jingtao also helped to do a lot of things. If he really said it completely, Shi Jingtao would not be able to understand the relationship.
After all, the person who handled the fake road and fake house dial was Shi Jingtao; the person who stole the nameless female corpse was Shi Jingtao; the person who set fire to the temple was Shi Jingtao. Therefore, for the sake of each other's good, it is naturally better to keep it confidential.
After talking about it, Madam Yang and Shi Ruhua served Rong Qiaoyan and Aunt Shuang to rest in the backyard.
Zhou Lei took Shi Jingtao to the front yard to rest.
The fatigue of a long journey can be lost by resting in the inn?
In this small courtyard, Rong Qiaoyan and Aunt Shuang finally had a good rest.
Early the next day, Shi Jingtao and Shi Ruhua siblings solemnly bid farewell to Rong Qiaoyan and left.
Rong Qiaoyan made another arrangement for Madam Yang and Zhou Lei. So everyone was busy.
Zhou Lei went to the shop where he worked and went to hand over his job.
Rong Qiaoyan and Aunt Shuang helped Madam Yang clean up the things at home.
The next day, Zhou Lei drove the carriage and took Rong Qiaoyan and his daughter to Haizhou Prefecture.
In the "Liaohua Lane" in Haizhou Prefecture, the house in the middle that had been empty for a long time was finally sold.
On the afternoon of the second day of the New Year, the neighbors met their new neighbors.
The official in the yamen said that the master's surname was Lan and he came from the north to visit his relatives.
As a result, I didn’t meet my relatives and didn’t want to wander around anymore, so I settled in Haizhou.
When the neighbors heard that they were from the north, they brought two points of sympathy. Who doesn’t know that the north often has war?
Then I heard that the male owner of the Lan family died a few years ago, leaving only mother and daughter, and sympathized with two more points.
Alas, there is not even a pillar in this family. This man died too early.
At this time, Rong Bojin, a master far away in Shuzhou, couldn't help but sneeze a few times and thought about how to get cold in this hot day? It's not true, after all, they even use very little ice.
However, when the neighbors saw Rong Qiaoyan who had opened the curtain, her white skin, her knowledgeable and polite behavior, and when they thought that they could all afford this big house, they all took away their sympathy.
Alas, this is a wealthy family.
In the cold and frozen places in the north, where can we afford to maintain this kind of official language and spoiled attitude, how can we deserve the sympathy of the common people?
However, the new neighbor gave people a very good impression, so everyone naturally accepted it happily.
So, when a carriage arrived at Luohua Lane today, everyone was surprised at first, and then they realized it.
Rong Qiaoyan helped Aunt Shuang get off the carriage, and Zhou Lei had already opened the door.
After entering, Rong Qiaoyan introduced the layout of the house to Aunt Shuang.
Although this two-entry house is only a two-entry house, it has a cross-campus.
Fortunately, this is not a capital city. Otherwise, even a thousand taels might not be able to afford this big house.
"My mother lives in the main yard, and I live next to my mother's yard. Brother Shitou lives in the front yard to help us guard the door. Then, I will buy a few more servants to serve him." Rong Qiaoyan planned happily.
Now they have few people and are ordinary people, so they naturally dare not make a big fuss. However, it is still OK to buy a few servants to serve them.
Although Zhou Lei was lame, his kung fu was still there. Therefore, even though Zhou Lei was protecting them, they were all female relatives, but they were not afraid.
Zhou Lei smiled honestly and could only nod.
"Brother Shitou, please hire a few people to clean up. The sixth day of the lunar month is an auspicious day, so let's move in officially. So let's not let my mother talk endlessly for my wedding gifts."
Rong Qiaoyan is now like a fifteen-year-old girl, becoming more lively.
Today is the fourth day of the lunar month, her birthday is the eighth day of the lunar month, and there is still time to prepare.
However, the ceremony is a little more simple. However, it was held in my own house.
Aunt Shuang looked at Rong Qiaoyan with a smile, thinking that her daughter is the real happiness now.
"Okay, okay, okay. Miss, just don't worry, and I will definitely handle it well." Zhou Lei responded with a smile, then closed the door and went out.
Rong Qiaoyan and Aunt Shuang looked at the yard and planned how to arrange it. For a moment, the yard became lively.
On the sixth day of the lunar month, Zhou Lei drove the carriage and pulled all the things from his home in Haimo County to the house in Luohua Lane, Haizhou Prefecture.
After moving the items, Zhou Lei set off a bunch of firecrackers at the door and took candy to the children who ran out to watch the fun.
Finally, Madam Yang and Zhou Lei delivered the meeting gift to the neighbors in the alley.
In this way, Rong Qiaoyan and others settled down in the alley.
On the eighth day of the sixth month, Rong Qiaoyan’s fifteenth birthday was also Rong Qiaoyan’s wedding ceremony.
Because they were just arriving, they didn’t invite many guests. Therefore, many processes and the hairpin can only be simplified.
The matter of inserting hairpins was also done by Aunt Shuang, the biological mother.
Fortunately, when Madam Yang and Zhou Lei went to give the meeting gift that day, they mentioned Lan Qingyan's 8th day of the first lunar month and the wedding ceremony. Then the house would be more disturbed. Those people thought that the Lan family had only mother and daughter and two servants, but they were deserted. Therefore, they all said they wanted to watch the ceremony.
In this way, it was finally a little more lively.
When the wedding ceremony was completed, the women watching the ceremony praised Rong Qiaoyan.
"Congratulations to Miss Lan." "Miss Lan is so beautiful." "Miss Lan is well-educated and polite, gentle and dignified."
Listening to these festive and praiseful words, Rong Qiaoyan chuckled.
Yes, from now on, Aunt Shuang is no longer the concubine of Rong's mansion, but Han.
And she is no longer Rong Qiaoyan, the concubine of the Rong family, but Lan Qingyan, the girl of the Lan family.
