Eight Zero: After marrying a disabled rough man, I am really happy

Looking at the surrounding scenery, Ning Xiuhe expressed emotion, "The development of the imperial capital is faster than that of Jiang City."

The owner of the car asked with a smile on his face, "Have you stayed here?"

"The book I read here before."

"Then you have to take a good look around! The imperial capital has changed a lot in recent years."

"Well! I really want to go around when I have time." Ning Xiuhe followed the other party's words.

An hour later, the tricycle entered the Imperial Capital, the North District, and Shanggu Street in the old city.

This street is as quaint as its name, an alley paved with bluestone slabs, high walls cut from blue bricks on both sides, and wooden structures of blue bricks and red tiles inside the high walls.

As soon as the tricycle enters this place, there is an illusion of traveling through ancient times. The only bad thing is that these old alleys are too narrow, and a car can barely pass through, but even a small tricycle will not be able to pass if it comes from the opposite side.

"Xiao Xi, that house is Uncle Chen's house." Lu Nan pointed to a courtyard and said that there was not much difference between that house and the surrounding courtyards. There is a plaque hanging: Baohe Hall.

"Uncle Chen and the others are here too." Ning Xi was a little surprised. She knew that Uncle Chen and his family had also come to the imperial capital, but she didn't expect that they were also in Shanggu Street.

"Second Uncle Chen and the others opened a small clinic in a house they rented elsewhere. After disposing of the family house this year, their brothers bought the house with all their savings."

Ning Xi nodded to show that she understood, and then asked, "How does Baohetang do business here?"

"Second Uncle Chen accumulated a lot of contacts before and moved here. The business is not bad or good. Uncle Chen and Uncle Chen didn't buy a house here to open Baohetang to make money. Both of them did it because their children work here. , buy a house in a local place to spend your old age, and at the same time have time to spend with your children.”

Lu Nan said here with a smile, "Unfortunately, the wishes of the two uncles have been in vain!"

"how?"

"The acupuncture method you taught Uncle Chen made Baohetang angry, and many men with problems in that area came to see them for medical treatment."

Ning Xi babbled, she really didn't expect Uncle Chen to gain a foothold in the imperial capital by relying on that set of acupuncture techniques.

While speaking, the tricycle turned a corner and entered another alley, and soon stopped at the gate of a house.

Compared with the courtyards seen before, this house is quite conspicuous.

If the mansions seen above were regarded as the yards where relatively wealthy small households lived in ancient times, then the mansion in front of me was at least worthy of rich and powerful dignitaries at the time.

Of course, this was just Ning Xi's guess, and she didn't know if it was the case, but she just felt that the house in front of her was worth more atmosphere than the houses she saw before just looking at the outside.

In front of the house stands a pair of stone lions. In the middle of the stone lions is a step paved with bluestone slabs. Above the steps is a weather-beaten vermilion lacquer double-opening gate. A plaque is hung on the gate. There are several vigorous characters on the plaque: Lingfu .

"Couldn't this be the old house of the Ling family!" Ning Xi blinked and looked at the house in front of him. Elder Ling gave away his old house to save his grandson?
"No, the one at the end of the alley is the old house of the Ling family. When I came to clean it up, the servants of the Ling family also came to help. I heard from them that this house was sold by Mr. Ling from a friend." Lu Nan pointed out Pointing not far away.

Because of the distance, Ning Xi couldn't see the situation of that house clearly, she could only judge that the house was bigger and more grand by the fact that the fence of that house was higher than theirs.

Open the gate and enter the compound.

Good guy, as soon as he walked into the yard, everyone's eyes widened except for Lu Nan and the three little ones.

This yard is at least seventy or eighty square meters.

The layout of the entire yard is very delicate, with rockery, ponds, pavilions, and various plants and flowers competing for splendor.

Pretty.

beautiful.

What a nice view.

At this time, it seems that apart from these words, they can't find any better words to describe the beauty of this yard.

"These flowers and bonsai are really beautiful." Ning Xiuhe is also a flower lover, but she can't name most of the flowers and plants in the yard.

"It would be a pity if no one took care of these flowers and plants."

In her previous life, Ning Xi didn't have the opportunity to cultivate her sentiments, and naturally she didn't have the opportunity to learn about flowers and plants, so seeing these delicate flowers and plants, she just felt that it was a pity that these flowers and plants fell into her hands.

"Mr. Ling approached me before, and he said that most of the trees in the yard were left over a hundred years ago, and the flowers and plants were slowly accumulated over the past few decades. If these were raised to death, it would be a waste of money."

"He meant that we should hire professional gardeners to take good care of these flowers and plants. I inquired with their gardeners. The price for a live-in gardener in the imperial capital is 30 yuan including food and lodging."

"The price is still acceptable, but I can't quite think of it."

how to say!30 yuan per month is just a small amount of money to Ning Xi.

The problem was that the people who had paid to come here were here to serve those flowers and plants, not to serve her, a person who spent money, which made her a little unacceptable.

It felt like saying that she, a living person, was not as valuable as those flowers and plants.

Although, maybe these flowers and plants are indeed quite expensive.

In short, she just can't accept the fact that flowers and plants are more precious than living people.

Lu Nan smiled and changed the subject, "Let's go to the house and rest, I'm tired."

A group of people walked into the flower hall, which was very large.

In the center of the entrance, there are a row of pear wood tables and chairs on both sides, and two pear wood chairs in front of it should be regarded as the main seat.

The flower hall is no longer the traditional decoration, with electric lights and telephones installed inside.

There is a screen on the left hand side of entering the door, and behind the screen is another scene, next to the screen is a row of European and American style upholstered sofas, in front of the sofa is a coffee table of the same style, and a black and white TV is placed by the wall in the past.

After walking around the flower hall, Ning Xi commented, "The design is a combination of Chinese and Western."

Lu Nan guessed, "It should be that the owner who lived here didn't like this purely ancient design, and didn't want to destroy the original taste of the house, so he made such a space."

Lu Bei had no interest in the combination of Chinese and Western, so he put down his suitcase and lay down on a chair, "It's too tiring to take the train, I feel like I can sleep for a few days and nights now."

"I want to rest and go to the backyard to find a room by myself, and live in that one." Ning Xi saw the old lady standing awkwardly at the entrance of the flower hall holding Chen Lin, and hurriedly said, "Grandma Wang, don't sit standing up! Xiaolin is leading your great-grandmother!" Find a place to sit."

Although Chen Lin could be considered a relatively mature child, he was only a child after all, and he didn't have those twists and turns. Hearing what Ning Xi said, he immediately led Mrs. Wang to sit there.

Mrs. Wang grabbed Chen Lin's hand and shook her head at him, "We are dirty, don't make these furniture dirty."

Ning Xiuhe hurriedly said, "Aunt Wang, sit down! Our family doesn't pay attention to those things."

Lu Nan also smiled and said, "Grandma Wang, sit down and rest for a while, and I will call your grandson again after dawn."

Ning Xi also smiled and said, "Yes, Granny Wang, Xiao Lin's illness can't be cured in one go, so you will stay here temporarily and go to the army when Xiao Lin's illness is cured. After contacting him, he will come naturally."
