Chapter 336 Zhang Sanniang's Thoughts

The ox cart was parked in front of Fan Ning's mansion, and Ming Ren wanted to rush to pay the bill with the ox cart, so he jumped out of the ox cart in a hurry, but was caught by Fan Ning, "Let's rent three better cars for everyone to enjoy in the capital." !"

Mingren suddenly came to his senses, and said with a smile: "If you don't remind me, I really forgot, don't worry! I will make arrangements."

He hurried to pay the bill. Except for Fan Ning's parents, it was the first time for the third and fourth families to come to this mansion. Everyone admired the screen wall and turned to the courtyard. They all exclaimed. Of course, they were surprised What is called is not Cuiyun Peak, but the majestic and towering Cuiyuan Building and its unique layout.

The five-foot-tall Cuiyunhuo in this area can only be compared with the Taixue Library, but it doesn't mean that the building can be built as high as it wants to build, otherwise those rich and powerful businessmen have built high-rise buildings to the sky long ago .

Generally, merchants and wealthy families can only build two to three floors at most. The standard is that they should not exceed the inner city wall, and the inner city wall is only two feet. It is impossible to build a Cuiyun Tower of nearly five feet. Only those who have been specially approved by the court To build high-rise buildings, usually temples or rich and powerful mansions have a chance to be approved.

Fan Ning's Cuiyun Building was originally the Yonglie Building of the Yang family, and it was approved to be built as a copy of the Wansheng Building in the palace. If Fan Ning hadn't given special approval from the emperor after taking over, this building would have to be demolished. It is an honor, he may not be able to inherit this house after buying it,
It is precisely because it is not easy to build tall buildings, so there are very few courtyards with such an open layout. Generally, people build two-story buildings and plant trees around them, which is pure waste.

"Like it!"

Zhang Sanniang said proudly: "There is a guest room there, if you like it, everyone will live in it when you are in the capital these days."

Before Fan Tieniu could speak, all three of his children jumped up for joy. Who would not like to live in this kind of high-rise building?
Fan Tiezhou didn't say anything, but his face was a bit ugly, so Zhang Sanniang pretended not to see it.

Zhang Sanniang and her husband had a dispute over this matter. Zhang Sanniang objected to everyone living in the inner house, not because she was stingy, but because her son was going to get married, so no outsiders could live in the inner house.

It is also because there are not many houses in the inner house, there are only two courtyards on the left and right and a water pavilion in the middle. Zhang Sanniang doesn't want her son to live in the bridal chamber with other people living around, even his own uncle.

After all, Fan Tieniu is a country guy in Wu County, he doesn't pay much attention to personal privacy, and doesn't understand these details, so he will live wherever the master arranges for him to live?
But Zhang Sanniang's attitude was extremely firm. This was his son's marriage, not you, Fan Tiezhou, who was treating guests to dinner, and this was a mansion bought by his son himself. If you, Fan Tiezhou, didn't pay a penny, then you are not qualified to arrange who lives where?

The son is already a high-ranking official in the imperial court. Of course, he must follow the rules of high-ranking officials. Not everyone can live in the inner house.

Besides, living in the Cuiyun Building is already very good. If it is not for the third uncle, it will have to be arranged in the courtyard of the old Caomen. At present, the second uncle Fan Tiege's family lives there.

Of course, Fan Tiezhou didn't want to neglect his brother, and brought his family to the capital. How could he not entertain him with the best food and accommodation?He didn't think there was anything wrong with living in the inner house.

He and his wife argued about this matter, but in the end Zhang Sanniang blocked his mouth with a hard word, "If you want to put your son's bridal chamber in Zhu's house, then it's up to you!" '

Even if he agrees, the Zhu family may not necessarily agree!Fan Tiezhou had to lose in the dispute with his wife, but Fan Tiezhou also made a condition that their family also live in Cuiyun Building, so the third child's family would have no idea.

Zhang Sanniang agreed to this condition.

Everyone walked through the woods together, and a few children jumped and ran ahead. Zhang Sanniang glanced warily at the children of the third child's family, especially the youngest daughter, who liked climbing mountains and trees the most. She had to remind the third child that this His children are not allowed to touch the precious stone casually.

Zhang Sanniang had to save face for her husband, so she couldn't say it so bluntly, but reminded her implicitly.

She looked at Cuiyun Peak pretending to appreciate it, and asked her son with a smile: "A-Ning, I heard that this stone is very valuable, isn't it?"

Fan Ning didn't see what his mother was thinking, he smiled and said: "This Cuiyun Peak is known as the first stone in the capital. It is indeed very expensive. It was lent to me by Mr. Zhu for a few years. Wan Guan bought it, but Mr. Zhu didn't agree!"

Fan Tieniu next to him heard that it was worth 30 guan, and his tongue stuck out in shock. He suddenly took a few steps forward and grabbed the third child, Aji. The youngest daughter is the most naughty and active. Going to play on the rocks, knocking against each other, even if you sell yourself, you can't afford it.

"Ah Ning, if such a precious stone is placed here, will someone steal it?" Fourth Aunt Wang asked Fan Ning in a low voice.

Speaking of which, it is very possible, Caihe is behind my mansion, and a dozen thieves came in in the middle of the night, and with a set of ropes, they carried this priceless Taihu Stone onto a small boat and transported it away. Since he hadn't lived here for a year, Fan Ning didn't know how Zhu Yuanfeng managed to hold the stone.

At this time, Mingren from behind smiled and said: "I know about this, I heard from my father that when Aning was not in the capital, this Taihu stone was placed in Zhu Daguan's residence."

It was only then that the plan suddenly came to light. It turned out that it was placed in Zhu Yuanfeng's residence, and it was estimated that Cuiyun Peak only moved back yesterday.

Fan Ning took a closer look, and found that it was indeed the case. The soil on the stone altar had just been refurbished, and it should have been sent back just now.

However, Fan Ning, the owner of this piece of Cuiyun Peak, is still confused. Zhu Pei refused to tell him the truth, so he can only guess that Zhu Yuanfu lent it to him for a few years.

"Okay! Everyone go into the house to rest. The guest rooms are on both sides of the second floor. The rooms have been cleaned."

There are eight guest rooms on the second floor, enough for everyone to live in.

In addition, there is an outhouse for the owner on the third floor. Large families have outhouses. For example, when the hostess has a miscarriage or a few days after giving birth, men have to avoid it. Fan Ning will move out at that time, so he can live on the third floor The master's outer room.

Or if Fan Ning is tired from reading in the study outside and wants to rest for a while, he can live on the third floor.

The children had already run up to the second floor, and Fan Ning said to his mother, Zhang Sanniang, "Mom, you should live in the East Inner Courtyard!"

Zhang Sanniang shook her head, "The back house is the wedding room, we can't live in it, we also live on the second floor."

"The west inner courtyard is enough for the wedding room. Anyway, the eastern inner courtyard is empty, and you, your father and younger sister happen to live there."

Zhang Sanniu glanced at Fan Tieniu, seeing that their family had already entered, she whispered to her son: "We can't live in the inner courtyard, your father will think he's neglecting third uncle, don't make things difficult for him, it's quite convenient to live in the guest room."

Fan Ning scratched his head, "Why don't you live on the third floor, the third floor is also the master room, the conditions are pretty good, and I live in the study on the fourth floor."

Zhang Sanniang thought about it, so she smiled and said: "Then lock the inner house, no one will live there, and let Zhu's family make the bed, your father will have nothing to say!"

Everyone went up to the second floor. The middle hall on the second floor is very large, covering more than 200 square meters. It is the place where the clansmen usually gather, and it is also the dining hall for eating. There are twenty tables and chairs, all of which are made of precious golden nanmu Cheng, in the middle is a long table made of two large tables, which is two feet long.

There are guest rooms on both sides of the outer periphery of the second floor. There are four rooms on the left and right, each room is about [-] square meters, and two of them are suites for many families to live in. There are all kinds of furniture in them.
The third uncle's family of five lived in the suite on the east side, and the fourth uncle Fan Tongzhong would come over a few days later, and the family lived in the suite on the west side.

Fanning's parents and younger sister lived on the third floor. The third floor was originally an external study, while the fourth floor was a storage room. Fan Ning remodeled a few guest rooms on the first floor into storage rooms. The clansmen on the second floor The rest room was turned into a guest room, the fourth floor became his study, and the third floor was the library and the master's outer room.

In the future, children's reading and learning will also be placed on the third floor.

My younger sister, Ado, likes the third floor the most. She is more fond of reading now, and her brother's third floor has a collection of [-] volumes, which just satisfies her hobby of reading.

After arranging the room for his parents and younger sister, Fan Ning came out of the room and saw his younger sister standing in front of the bookshelf choosing books, so he walked up to him and asked with a smile, "Do you like these books?"

A Duo nodded happily, "I like it very much, thank you brother!"

Fan Ning stroked his younger sister's head lovingly, and said with a smile: "This place is very close to Taixue, and there are many bookstores around. I will accompany you to go shopping in two days."

"My brother is busy so you don't have to accompany me. I will go with my fourth aunt."

"Fourth aunt also read?" Fan Ning asked curiously.

Adduo nodded, "My aunt has studied for several years, and she likes to read strange novels."

"Hehe! I seem to have a few copies here, and you can send them to my fourth aunt later."

"I see, by the way, where do we wash?"

This is also a big problem. The last time my parents came over three years ago, they brought maids and Xiaodong by their side, so it was very convenient to boil water and cook. Now there is no servant in the mansion, so I can't let my mother cook. Bar!

And pouring the toilet, my father and third uncle can't go to the door with the toilet every day!

Fan Ning planned to find someone to arrange for some temporary servants to do rough work to help, and then outsource all the meals. Although this is a bit inappropriate, there is no way, and it is too late for him to recruit servants now.

At this moment, there was a sound of running from the stairs, and Ming Ren shouted at the corner: "A Ning, someone from Zhu's family is here, you go!"
