Happy pastoral sturdy little lady

Chapter 210 Misty Rain Villa
Shui Liuli has a strong personality, perhaps because she has been dependent on her elder brother since she was a child, and has experienced many hardships together. She is very sensitive, hard and soft, and very assertive.The ups and downs of waiting for nothing can scare her at all, she is also a refreshing and courageous woman.

To be honest, he really felt that no matter if it was a princess or princess, or those "excellently famous" women from the top ten aristocratic families in the capital, compared with Shui Liuli, they were all scum!Anyway, he doesn't like any of them!
Therefore, even though Shui Liuli's situation is very difficult, having a father is even more miserable than not having a father.No matter who marries Shui Liuli as his wife, as long as that vicious stepmother joins in, they are doomed to get no benefit at all.Not only that, but the family who married Shui Liuli would also be hated by the vicious stepmother and cause all kinds of stumbling blocks.

It's not that no one in the Lian family objected to Lian Tinghan's fulfilling the marriage contract. For example, one of his clan's grandfathers strongly opposed it.Fortunately, after Lian Tinghan's mother sent someone to investigate, she was very satisfied with Shui Liuli.Moreover, Lian Tinghan's father was an upright gentleman, and he refused to do anything to break his promise.

Father and mother, including Lian Tinghan himself, insisted on marrying Shui Liuli, and the others had no choice but to agree!However, when Shui Liuli married into Lian's family, the elders in the clan were very dissatisfied with her, and some even deliberately felt sorry for her when they worshiped the ancestors.However, with her ingenuity and strong heart, she was neither angry nor intimidated.

She responded calmly, with a gentle smile, and easily resolved a series of intentional or unintentional turmoil, withstood all kinds of tests that ordinary people could hardly face, which opened everyone's eyes.As a result, she also won the heartfelt love and approval of the elders.So far, he has officially integrated into the Lian family and has become a member that everyone truly agrees with.

In Lian Tinghan's heart and eyes, his wife Shui Liuli is shocking enough to make him marvel, appreciate and like him!However, what he never expected was that the brother-in-law was more than ten times luckier than him.Being hunted down by someone would almost kill her, and she could still meet such a unparalleled woman like Rao Chuyue.

For Rao Chuyue, using the word "shocking the world" is not enough to express the emotion in his heart.Heroines can only be properly described and expressed by using the word heroines.

At this moment, Lian Tinghan was dumbfounded, and Qiao Anguo couldn't help laughing cheerfully: "Master Lian, you're back to your senses! Quickly reach out, this is what Mr. Shui wants my father to hand over to you and your wife." letter!"

Now, Shui Qingqian is no longer the prince, and it is not easy to call him Young Master Shui.They had no choice but to call him "Master Shui".

"Oh, brother, do you have a letter for me?" Lian Tinghan was inexplicably happy.seemingly.This was the first time my brother-in-law wrote to him, which made him very flattered. In his past impressions, my brother-in-law was an aloof and arrogant person.He didn't even dream about receiving a letter from his brother-in-law.

"Yes, Mrs. Rao explained in the letter to me that Mr. Shui said that you can open the letter in front of me." Master Qiao stroked his short beard and said seriously.

"Oh? That's okay?" Lian Tinghan was taken aback, but he didn't think much about it, and quickly opened the letter.After reading it at a glance, the smile on his face was as bright as a cloud, and the corners of his eyes and brows were full of joy.

Suddenly, I found that there were several bank notes in the envelope. I took it out and saw that there were as many as 1 taels!Looking at the smallest side of the letter again, there are indeed a few lines of hairpin small characters: Liuli, I am my sister-in-law, and a 1 taels of silver is attached to the letter, of which 2000 taels of silver are gifts for the two children.The remaining 8000 taels are for buying a house. Just buy a small house with a second entry. Please take care of the cleaning and layout of the house!
"Brother asked us to help him buy a house near the Gongyuan, and he gave us 1 taels of silver notes." Lian Tinghan explained to Master Qiao with a blushing face, feeling very embarrassed and ashamed.

Alas, big brother and sister-in-law are also true, isn't it just to buy a small house?Where is 8000 taels of silver needed?Although it is close to the Gongyuan, as long as it is not facing the street, 5000 taels is almost enough!

Qiao Anguo naturally understood Lian Tinghan's thoughts, so he smiled and waved his hands: "Don't be shy, your sister-in-law is a rich man, such a small amount of money is just a drop in the bucket to her! Since she sent someone all the way , you just accept it, she is not short of this little money! On the contrary, if you buy the house and pay for it yourself, she should have a psychological burden! After all, you and your father are both honest gentlemen with two sleeves, and they save money all year round. No less than 1000 taels of silver!"

Wow, so rich?That's great!
Lian Tinghan couldn't help being taken aback when he heard this. He was full of infinite curiosity and respect from the bottom of his heart for that sister-in-law whom he had never seen before!Rich but not arrogant, but still considerate of her relatives, she sounds like a very easy-going woman!
Lian Tinghan was still wandering, but Elder Qiao had already opened his mouth: "Master Lian, I happen to have a two-entry house near the Gongyuan. It is elegant and quiet, and it is very suitable for people who have studies at home. The surrounding environment is also very good. Most of them are scholars, and the neighbors on the left and right are people from the Hanlin Academy. I intend to sell this house to Mr. Shui, what do you think? How about going to have a look after dinner?"

On this day of every month, even Ting Han only needs half a day's work, and it's lunch time at this time.After lunch, take a short rest, it's still early.It is also very appropriate to go to see the house today.But, is it really good to make such a decision without telling Liuli?
"How about tomorrow? I have to go back and discuss with my family. Besides, it's time for dinner. My family will be worried if I haven't gone back for a long time!" Lian Tinghan thought about it, and finally decided to ask first. Wife and father's opinion, then make a decision.

"Alright, we can talk about the matter of buying a house later. However, since we met today, we have to have a light meal together anyway. Don't worry, I will ask the shopkeeper of Taste Building to go to Xiangshan Academy in person and tell The family members of your lord just say it!" Master Qiao said hastily.

Lian Tinghan was still a little hesitant, after all, this was the first time we met, so this is not good, right?You know, eating a big meal in the Taste Building costs hundreds of taels of silver at every turn.Such an extravagant place is not something he can afford for a small sixth-rank chief. His yearly salary is only around a hundred taels of silver!

"My lord, don't worry, I'll have a simple meal today. When Mrs. Rao comes to the capital and invites you and your wife to come here for dinner, you can ask her to treat you to a big meal!" Qiao Anguo shook his head jokingly. said with a smile.

The embarrassment in the room dissipated immediately.

"Okay, then I'll bother you, and I'll cost you!" Lian Tinghan stood up and saluted the two of them solemnly as a token of his gratitude.

Oh, what a nerd!
Qiao Anguo shook his head, but Elder Qiao nodded approvingly: "Very good, he is worthy of being the son of a noble family. He has been an official in the court for so many years, and he can still maintain such a simple and good quality. It is really commendable!"
The three of them gradually chatted freely, and the room was full of laughter.

Although Mr. Qiao is a businessman and Qiao Anguo is a general, both of them are Wen Juren.Lian Tinghan, a bookworm, was surprised to find that Mr. Qiao didn't have the slightest smell of copper from a businessman.And in the body of the mighty general Qiao Anguo, at this moment, there is no trace of the roughness that is unique to generals.

The two of them turned out to be very elegant.One is a Confucian businessman and the other is a Confucian general!

This father and son are really not simple!Then, how extraordinary is Mrs. Rao and Chuyue Rao, whom these two people are full of praise for?Lian Tinghan was looking forward to it very much, and couldn't wait to go back, telling his wife Shui Liuli that her sister-in-law was a good one, and she was completely worthy of her big brother.To let her know that her elder brother has a good woman by his side, and she will not have to sleep and eat for him in the future!
It is said to be a simple meal, but in fact, there are ten hot dishes and six cold dishes, as well as a delicious soup, a few desserts, and a plate of fresh fruits that are rare in this season.It was the first time for Lian Tinghan to be so extravagant. This table of delicacies cost at least 300 taels of silver!

Back home, when he told his parents and Shui Liuli, the three of them almost dropped their jaws!

"What? Liuli's sister-in-law is the mysterious major shareholder of Tasting Building?" Lian's father was full of surprises, his eyes full of disbelief.

About the mysterious major shareholder, he only heard about it by chance two days ago.It is said that the major shareholder is the number one contributor to Taste Building today!I originally thought that Taste Building was far away from me, even a little out of reach.Because the Lian family is not a wealthy family, so far, he has not had a meal at the Tasting Building!
Therefore, he never mentioned the mysterious shareholder to his family.Unexpectedly, only a few days later, my son went to the Tasting Building to have a big meal.Moreover, it was Dadong's family and the mighty general who took the initiative to invite and accompany him!
What is even more unexpected is that that mysterious shareholder is actually Liuli's sister-in-law!This is just like a legend, no!Those legendary stories are not so wonderful, so unexpected!

After a long time, even the old man recovered from the shock, and solemnly ordered his stunned wife, son and daughter-in-law: "Ting Han, just buy Mr. Qiao's house for Liuli's eldest brother! Madam, you and Liuli The two of you put in a lot of effort and repaired it properly. The servant girls and servants are also hurrying to buy it, be careful, and be sure to pick someone who is loyal and worthy of use!"

Correction: Regarding Lian Tinghan's position, there was a clerical error in Chapter 210. The commander of the Jinwu Guard should be Lian Tinghan's sworn brother Zhong Zijian, and a revision has been made.Sorry for the inconvenience caused to everyone.

There are still [-] words, this chapter has not been checked, I will revise it later, and I am sorry.Now, I have to code words, sweating, hard life! "Father, did sister-in-law Liuli give you the money to buy the house?" Lian Tinghan hesitated for a while, and finally asked boldly.

He also felt very ashamed when he asked this question, and he was too embarrassed to see his wife.It's not just a small house, the uncle came back from the dead and experienced such hardships.Now that he is married and is going back to the capital to catch up with the exam, he, the brother-in-law, should have bought a small house for his brother-in-law.However, in his hands, he didn't even have 500 taels of silver!

Alas, there is no money in hand, and it is difficult for a hero!
Shui Liuli hurriedly said: "Father, mother, my dowry hasn't been moved much! The jewelry alone is worth 3 to 1 taels of silver, and there are shops and farms, which add up to a lot. Why don't I just Take out [-] taels of silver and buy a house for eldest brother, and consider it my wedding gift for eldest brother?"

Old Man Lian narrowed his eyes, and smiled gratifiedly: "I think it's okay! That's your own eldest brother, and your original dowry was originally left by your mother to you brothers and sisters. That vicious stepmother managed to keep most of it in her hands, and when you got married, he gave it all to you as a dowry! You just take out 1 taels, buy the house to repair, and decorate the house well, so you must let it go The eldest brother and his family lived comfortably!"
