Did the third place winner regret it today?

Chapter 67

On April 20th, when his uncles and aunts had come to the capital to see off the bride, they were finally returning to Huaixi Road.
This day, Feng Luoyi went to pay his respects to them as he had discussed with Liti, but he found out that Liti and they were also there to send off their uncle.
"Oh, that's what they replied." Feng Luoyi said.
"Well, we'll set off today." He Xin said.

The maids in Jingrongyuan all knew that Liti married Feng Luoyi because of them, so even though it seemed that Liti and they were getting along well now, considering the current situation of the two of them, there was absolutely no need for them to offend Aunt Feng to this extent.
Dagui, just be polite to him.

Feng Luoyi nodded and said, "Then tell Hanlin and sister that I will come over."
"Don't worry, Auntie."
Feng Luoyi turned around and went back.

Although Huaixi and his family are far from being well-off, Feng Luoyi still envies them because my mother, father and brother are as noble as them.
After the marriage was consummated, Kan finally had a clear status, with two gifts here and two gifts here. Kan and Li Ti wrote a letter and asked Daoluo to send it to the place of exile.
Seeing his father and brother suffer in exile, he didn't know they were still alive. The letters were passed to him, passing through many hands, and he didn't know when they would reach his father or when he would receive a reply.

In early autumn of that year, I saw that my sister was not doing well.
Initially, Li Gui wanted to give the book to his sister and brother-in-law after he bought it. But his brother-in-law turned against him and made his sister "sick". Only when the book was stranded did Li Gui know about it, and then I knew what happened to him.

After that, my sister was always "ill" and had no news from me. Until the autumn of that year, because I knew that my sister was expensive, I passed the news to him.
Did he really die of this illness? Feng Luoyi dared to think about it.
So what if it has come to this? Apart from shedding a few more tears for my sister, what else can I do?
Work hard and persevere until now, and then slowly continue to persevere in the future.

The three of us brothers came to the village early in the morning to bid farewell to our aunt and uncle. The eldest of the two villages specially gave them a half-day break to see them off.
The couple cried loudly, and only after their nephews and nieces comforted them and said, fearing that they would be late for their departure, did they stop crying.
We and Liti also sent them to the pier.

The two cousins ​​said goodbye to Liti.
The brother Wang Cheng finally told his sister, "You know him."
They also said they were "reassured."
This sister is so honest that I feel a little silly. She is relieved to be her brother, but she doesn't know what to say in front of her brother-in-law. I can only cough softly, sneak close to my sister, and whisper to her, "Don't be too honest. You are so expensive to your mother. Don't be too honest with your aunt, look at your mother-in-law now."

After all, he is still like my elder brother.
Because we rarely meet each other, I actually have a deep relationship with our brothers and sisters.
But thinking about today's special day, if I could see him again in the future, the young man in front of me might have become as tall and straight as the third master and his middle-aged brother, I couldn't help but feel a little sad.

"Brother," they also said seriously, "Give my regards to my grandfather, grandmother, father and mother for me."
"You have taken care of me for many years, and I am very grateful."
"Silly. Of course I have to support you."

They also smiled with emotion.
He had always been thinking about how to get out of the marriage that they valued, and now that he was really getting out of it, he felt disappointed.
"I hope that my elders will be healthy and live longer, my brothers and sisters will let me know my future, and my sisters... will let me know my destination." Look at the last sentence.
When the girls are here, they have no other choice but to tell us their destination.

Our noble brother is setting sail far away.
They also looked into the distance and remained silent for a long time.
Li Ti said softly, "Let's go back there."

They also let out a long sigh and said with a low sigh, "Two lives, where is this place to go?"
The city is here, the countryside is here. If you haven't been here, you've been here, and if you've been there, you've been here.
If you think deeply about it, these two lives will become two, and you will be confused.

Chuihe's hand was suddenly held.
His hands looked big because he was taller now. It was hot, dry and warm.
They also looked down at that hand, and then looked up at the two young men who dared to hold hands with him.

Liti went to take a look, only to see the long river flowing across the sky in the distance.
"Don't tell me that." He said, "You know, of course it's expensive here."
"Let's go, follow Wei Guidao."

He also took the lead and gently pulled them to see.
We also felt a little weak, and when we noticed it, we asked him to hold our hands.
This is the most aggressive time I've known him.

We also pulled out slightly, but Liti not only didn't let go, but she pushed even harder.
He turned his head and looked at her. "You guys raised you very well, and I'll raise you very well."
The young man has a clear and loud voice.

At this moment, on the willow bank, there is a sense of parting everywhere, and the river breeze is blowing on your face.
His eyes were not as clean as mine, as they were not polluted by the world. He made a promise firmly, thinking that he would definitely do it.
This is a common problem among young people.
They also softened their hearts, smiled, and tried to struggle again.
Li Ti led and looked back.

When they got to the carriage, he supported him by the arm and helped him get into the carriage.
They turned around and got into the car and glanced at him.
Liti looked at him with his hands behind his back and said, "Return to your way."
They also smiled and said "Yeah."

After returning to Guili, he reported to Reeve and said, "The journey went smoothly."
In ancient times, officials could do whatever they wanted, especially officials in Beijing, where attendance was very strict. The two of them took a break for half a day and were already at the office.
It was only a few minutes later that the two of them heard that their nieces were returning, and their eyes were red again. "This and that, I don't know when we will see each other again."

In the past, when this happened, Hu Lati would step forward and offer gentle words of comfort.
Now they sat beside the two of them, gently holding each other's arms, and whispered to each other in their own language.
Liti heard what Taiqing said when he looked at them, only to see Reeve gently pressing the corners of his eyes with Patti, nodding, and finally bursting into laughter.

Liti looked at them intently, and they also looked at Reeve intently.
He didn't go forward. Because a wife's three major responsibilities are to be filial to her mother-in-law, serve her husband, and raise her daughter. Today is her last day of marriage. From tomorrow on, we can spend every day together alone.
This is very common now.
As expected, he knows where to get married to my cousin.

After comforting Reeve, the two returned to Jingrongyuan.
His maid in the courtyard first reported, "Auntie, come and pay your respects."
"I forgot to tell Kan." We just remembered it.
Because according to the arrangement with Liti, Feng Luoyi only celebrated it on the fifth or tenth day of the month. If she celebrated it every day, she would probably forget it. It would only take a few days and she was not used to it yet, so she didn't think of checking the notice at that time.
Liti said, "It's okay."
Obviously he was satisfied that Feng Luoyi came to pay his respects on time.

We can also observe these subtle changes in his emotions when we are not in front of him.
This is what I ask of him, he treats the two people around him.
I have the same requirements for my wife and my concubines, and they are all the same.
This is quite knowledgeable. As long as you know what he wants and do it, that's all.

When I entered the house, I felt something strange.
Entering the inner room again, He Xin came forward and said, "Let's change the curtains. Young master, take a look?"
The two of them looked at it, and finally removed the too conspicuous wedding curtains, replacing them with red persimmon-colored curtains with five bat patterns. It felt a bit strange, and those auspicious things were also removed, and the whole Jingrongyuan returned to its "wedding room" state, entering its normal state after the day.

They also nodded and said, "Look at him, this one is quite good."
If you need to go to the bathroom urgently, go to the toilet.
Li Ti changed into her usual gown, and walked around the room with her hands behind her back.

Those auspicious things are only displayed in those special ceremonies. Everything returns to the daily routine.
Even the round table in the middle of the house was covered with a tablecloth that he changed every day.
Li Ti walked over there, stroking the tablecloth with his fingertips, and then walked to the chaise longue, lifted up his skirt and sat down, looking around at everything in the room. He suddenly thought of what the wedding room looked like before, Ti said, and the day he got married, he still remembered the procedures and etiquette clearly, but he could not remember the atmosphere and feelings at that time.
He just knew that everything was fake and he just acted out the aisle.
I only remember that when the veil was lifted, they also put thick powder on his face. At that time, he thought that he would know when to see it.

Suddenly the light dimmed, and Liti looked up. It turned out that they had already walked out of the corridor and stood in front of him.
Look at Zhiqi, "What are you still in a daze about?"
"It's okay." Liti stood up and said, "What arrangements do you have for me today?"
They also said, "I will meet my roommate later. I will ask him to come over and kowtow to you. I will do nothing today after meeting him. You should take a rest. You have to go back tomorrow to report for leave."

The two of them went to the second room together. They also stepped out of the lattice door, but Liti turned back and scanned the inner room again.
At that time, when it comes to the wedding, you will know if you take it more seriously.
Deep down he felt so sad that he knew why it happened.
He withdrew his gaze and stepped out of the lattice door.

The couple drank tea and took a break. They were talking about how long it would take to get to Huaixi by following the current and going against the wind. When Kui Er came to the door, he reported, "Zhao Baojin and Wang Baogui are passing by."
"I know. Let them wait in the side room." They also put down the fruits in their hands and called the maid to bring tea for rinsing their mouths.
After rinsing his mouth, he said to Liti, "You take a rest first."

Zhao Baojin and Wang Baogui, the adult male servants, also saw them in the side rooms from time to time.
Since then, the two of them have been in the capital, and this is the first time they have met each other. They also greeted each other and said, "Young masters."
They also told the maid to "show me the seat."

When the maid brought over the brocade stool, both of them said "Here we go".
They also said, "Sit down."
Wang Baogui carefully sat down on the side. Zhao Baojin sat down and said, "I need it."

Although he is just a companion, according to the arrangement of our grandfather, Wang Baogui is also in charge of the land and real estate for us. He is a manager, no matter how big or small, and he can act respectfully in front of the masters.
Zhao Baojin had been in this position before, and now he had no job, at best a servant, very tactful and not too presumptuous. He just stood behind Wang Baogui with his hands hanging down.

We also asked Wang Baogui, "Can you adapt?"
"I know, I know." Wang Baogui said, "We will live with him and use him, and we will know. We just hope that the young man and I can arrange some work for him. If we dare to be idle, we will eat for free."
We have already communicated with Li Ti and asked Wang Baogui to take care of his dowry. Li Ti has informed the steward of Guili, and the steward has informed Wang Baogui - from now on, Wang Baogui's monthly salary will be calculated according to his level as a third-class steward, and will be paid by Guili.

Although they are his companions, they also know that they are expensive here and eat expensively here. Seeing that they have been his companions, they will naturally be expensive here from now on.
Including the monthly wages of Kui'er, Pu'er and Ying'er who are my employees now, they will be transferred to Ligui for payment.
Only Baojin's assignment is still uncertain.

They also asked him, "Where is Yunjuan?"
Zhao Baojin said, "It's a privilege to take care of children."
They also said, "You let the babysitter take care of the child. He has nothing else to take care of in the past two years. It's really his job to bring up the child."
Zhao Baojin smiled and replied, "This."

We also asked them what they did these days.
Wang Baogui said that he "had dinner with Ligui several times and drank wine with him twice."
We also asked, "Which two?"
Wang Baogui said, "I will go with a few stewards. Baojin and Menti will go with him in the carriage."

Wang Baogui added, "We will also take the children to our fields, houses and shops to have a look."
We also asked, “What is the current situation?”
Wang Baogui said, "This good land is rented out to two other plots. After we get off the boat, Master Cheng will take me to complete the transaction. I will also take Baojin and the kids to identify the plots. Don't let them know where we are when the time comes."

Their eyes also lit up.
It's a shame that the old man picked them out, and the old man cheated his granddaughter. Wang Baogui was originally the young steward of this place, and he was in his prime. The old man picked this and that, and picked them out for me to see.

Private property, private resources.
As expected, these two are still married. When we were girls in the past, how could we have such a neat and capable male servant?

They also asked, "What is the current situation of Zhaiti and Puti?"
Wang Baogui said, "The house on Huaishu Street is empty and clean. We checked the corridor inside and out and found that it was well maintained and there was no problem.

"When he took over the shop on Changkou Street, he was my tenant. Now it's owned by Jiao Shi and is under lease. Bao Jin and I know each other well."
"The Chang'an Gate and Changkou Street are both very prosperous, but his shop there is now empty. I have already asked you to help me look for a shop when you are in charge, and he will rent it out if he finds a suitable one. You don't have to worry about these two shops, but his shop on Huaishu Street needs us to work out a deal, whether to keep this one or rent that one out?"

"Does he know how much this Zhaiti paid for?"
"Yes, I bought him for 1,300 strings of cash."
The current silver price difference is that one guan of silver can be exchanged for two taels of silver. This means that this house is worth 1,300 taels of silver.
It's really expensive. Shi Huaixi, everyone can get it for two or three hundred taels by going to his house three times.

The old lady was going to make a scene when she complained to him. Look at the house and shop as dowry, look at his house and shop, and his value. You will know how much difference he made between the two sisters.

"This." Wang Baogui also sighed, "In Beijing, every inch of land is worth a lot of money. We asked around and found that many houses are rented out. If a person in Beijing has a lot of extra houses, he can rent them out. Basically, the rich people in Beijing have no worries about food and drink. The money in my hands in Beijing is used to buy land and build houses."

"How much can I get for renting it?"
"I've asked the neighbors about this, so he can make me around twelve taels a month."
He wants to rent out his house on Huaishu Street, and I can earn him twelve taels of silver every month.
They were not so happy when they received the gold bracelet from Liti. After all, although the gold bracelet is valuable, it can make money. Movable energy can make money.

Let's talk to Wang Baogui. These two shops and a house are worth about three or four thousand taels of silver to me, not counting my land.
The monthly rent on Huaishu Street is about twelve taels.
The shop on Changkou Street is small, and the rent is 17 taels. But the tenant has already paid the rent until June, and the next rent collection will be in a month and a half.
His shop in Chang'an Gate is bigger, but the location is good, and the rent is only ten taels. He is looking for tenants.

Roughly speaking, including the land, his movable properties in the capital, if he rents them all out, he can earn about 40 taels of silver a month.
The rent for his land must be settled every year. I have a hundred acres of dry land near the capital.
In addition, although the income from Huaixi's mulberry garden is directly given to Daoli, the 100 acres of paddy fields depend on him. Every year, he will see the delivery.

Our old grandfather made very good arrangements. The mulberry garden and the paddy field were Huaixi, and they were actually managed by our two generations. They were directly given to our elders, and also to our daughters who married our elders, and would be inherited by our elder grandchildren in the future. All these things would be gone for a long time.
If a person is straight, he will be a straight relative. If a person is straight, he will be a straight relative.

We didn't know that he hadn't passed that far, but when he thought about the 40 taels a month and more than 400 taels a year, his income was stable and he had full control over it, he felt comfortable and happy every pore in his body.
