Time Traveling: The Little Hou Ye is the Head of the House

Zhang Lianbai felt a little nervous, he didn't know what the Minister of the Household Department asked him to do?But I had just won the second place, and I understood somewhat in my heart, so I hurriedly said: "Please."

Hubu Shangshufu

When Prince Yan was alive, Hubu Shangshu was at odds with him. At that time, King Qi was still just a prince, and he always withheld money from the northwest.This old man can stay until now because of the civil strife six years ago, he actually picked himself clean, which shows that the method is not simple.

"Zhang Lianbai has met adults."

Hubu Shangshu waved his hand: "The old man is not beating around the bush anymore, I called you here today to introduce you to a happy event."

happy event?Zhang Lianbai's heart skipped a beat when he heard it. Could it be that... He hurriedly said: "The so-called happy event is nothing more than meeting an old friend in a foreign country, the bridal chamber wedding night, and the gold list. Is the happy event meeting an old acquaintance in a foreign land?"

Hubu Shangshu narrowed his eyes, he understood the meaning of Zhang Lianbai's words quite well.Maybe he has heard the meaning behind his words, so he immediately quoted this sentence, but in fact, he is indeed going to be a matchmaker.But now that Zhang Lianbai said that, how could he speak?But Shangshu Hubu has lived to this age, and he speaks directly. He is only the second place in the new department. He doesn't need to hesitate, and he directly said: "You are married? Engaged?"

"I got engaged a year ago, and we got married at the end of the month." Zhang Lianbai also answered directly.

"Oh? The other party has discernment, you... people from the village?" At that time, Zhang Lianbai was just a juren, and the one who could say kiss should be a girl from an ordinary family, right?Compared with the granddaughter of Qin Shangshu's family, it is the difference between a lazy toad and a swan.Speaking of which, his granddaughter is already married, otherwise he would also like to choose someone from the first class of the new division.

"No, it's the eldest lady of the Zhongyonghou Mansion." Zhang Lianbai said.

oh?Hubu Shangshu narrowed his eyes, a little surprised.How could Zhang Lianbai, a poor boy from a poor family, marry the Zhongyonghou mansion?

"How do you know each other?" Hubu Shangshu asked.

Zhang Lianbai felt a little displeased, this was a private matter, and speaking out would damage the reputation of the girl's family, but the Minister of the Household Department asked.But he can't answer. "I didn't know the eldest lady before, and we only met once before we announced our marriage. On the day of the Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival, I was hired by the third house master of the Hou's mansion to solve crossword puzzles for them. Later, Zhongyonghou was kidnapped, and I followed them to look for it. After a while, I got to know Li Hongcai, the young master of the Hou Mansion." In fact, Li Shuiyun hired her, but Zhang Lianbai didn't want to damage the girl's reputation.

The kidnapping of Marquis Zhongyong was known throughout the capital, and because of this, King Qi kicked the trafficker's nest in the capital, and it was widely spread.So what Zhang Lianbai said, Hubu Shangshu also believed.

"Later, on His Majesty's birthday last year, Brother Li Hong asked about my family's situation. Knowing that I hadn't said anything about marriage, he told me about Miss Li Lin's marriage. Later, I invited the official media to come to propose marriage, and the marriage was settled. "The eldest brother is the father, and the marriage that Li Hong mentioned made sense, but Zhang Lianbai didn't mention Li Luo at all.

It turned out that the Minister of the Ministry of household affairs understood. "Since that's the case, I don't need to worry about it anymore. I'll be waiting to drink your wedding wine at the second place at the end of the month."

"I was embarrassed to invite my lord to have a wedding wine, but now my lord said that Lianbai has no father, so I have the cheek to ask my lord to sit in the high hall for a while." Zhang Lianbai followed suit, and it was considered as a way of giving face to the Minister of the Household Department.

"The old man will sit in the high hall for a while, haha..."

Coming out of the Hubu Shangshu Mansion, Zhang Lianbai found that his underwear was a little wet.Hubu Shangshu's attitude is very gentle, but he is still frightened. If Hubu Shangshu blames him for this reason, it may be a bit bad.

Everyone knows that Hubu Shangshu and Qin Shangshu have a very good relationship, and Qin Shangshu is the grandfather of the eldest prince.It is impossible for any faction in the imperial court not to occupy it.He admired Li Luo's courage and openness, and since he became an in-law with him, he must be implicated with King Qi.

Zhang Lianbai is not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, since he has chosen this path, he will go on.What's more, the people in Zhongyonghou's Mansion are all nice, whether it's Li Yangshi or that gentle and quiet girl.Thinking of Li Lin, Zhang Lianbai felt a little happy. When a man thinks of the girl he likes, he can't wait. What's more, Zhang Lianbai's family is poor. At the age of 19, he has never even held a girl's hand. Don't talk about that thing with women.

So where can we not look forward to?

When the marriage was first arranged, Li Lin embroidered clothes, purses and shoes for him. He even had a dream at night. In the dream, he was happy, but when he woke up, he felt a little shy and went to wash the clothes.

He was in a particularly good mood those few days, and his mother was happy for him.

When I arrived at the Moon Tower, I didn't see Li Lin.

Li Luo explained with a smile: "The girls are all back home, so you have to endure it for a few more days, anyway, they will soon be members of your Zhang family."

Zhang Lianbai blushed again. He was a 19-year-old youth being teased by a six-year-old brother-in-law. It was really painful. "The emperor has issued an imperial decree, and I have been appointed as the editor of the Imperial Academy." This is good news.The Hanlin Academy compiled and revised Qipin, with 25 taels of silver per month, and the imperial court also granted 350 mu of fertile land.

The best thing about the Huaguo imperial court is that each official court will subsidize fertile land. Although the subsidized fertile land is not in the capital, it is also an income. If it is rented out, there will be about 300 taels of silver a year.In addition, Zhang Lianbai's monthly silver is also 300 taels a year. There are only three of them in their family, and 60 taels a month is definitely enough.

"Come on, let's toast to our second place." Li Ze stood up, the oldest, and he did it first as a respect.

"Thank you, son." Zhang Lianbai was not polite, and we will be a family from now on.

"What are you talking about, son, you can just call me Brother Ze, anyway, sooner or later you will have to change your mind." Li Ze said in a personable manner.

Li Ze and Princess Chunhe are well-known golden boys and girls in the capital.

"Thank you Brother Ze." Zhang Lianbai quickly changed his words.

After dinner, Li Ze, Li Chi and others left first, and only Li Hong, Li Luo and Zhang Lianbai were left in the box.

"Brother Zhang, now you have been named editor of the Imperial Academy, and your home is outside the city. It is always inconvenient to go back and forth to court, but you want to live in the capital?" Li Hong asked. Lianbai, now that Zhang Lianbai's affairs have stabilized, you can ask.

Zhang Lianbai nodded: "Brother Hong said that I had already looked at the house a few days ago and planned to rent a house first."

One-entry yard: The one-entry room is in the shape of a zigzag, that is, four walls. A door is opened on the front wall, which is the main entrance. The main entrance faces south, and the side of the gate wall faces inward. There are two rooms on each side of the main entrance. Called the South Room, there are a total of four rooms for servants to live in, and they can also be used as guest rooms.

On the inner side of the main entrance, there is another door called the Hanging Flower Gate.The room opposite the vertical flower door is called the north room, which is the main room.The layout of the main house is a bedroom and a living room, and the two rooms are connected.

This is the front and back of the zigzag-shaped room, and the left and right are the east wing room and the west wing room respectively.

Zhang's family has a simple population, only Zhang's mother and Zhang Lianbai, even if they will buy a few servants in the future, it will be enough to live in once they enter.The north room (principal room) is for Zhang's mother, and the east room is for Zhang Lianbai and Li Lin.The pattern of the east and west wing rooms is a bedroom, a living room connected to the bedroom, and a small room connected to the wall of the hanging flower door, which is used as a study.

And the west wing was empty, reserved for their children.

Such an arrangement is well organized.

The only thing Zhang Lianbai worried about was that Li Lin was used to living in the Hou Mansion compound, and the first house he lived in would wrong her.

It costs about 800 taels of silver to buy a house once you enter it, and the location is good.But the houses we entered were all for the transitional period, which was not suitable for a family at all.So Zhang Lianbai would not buy it either.But if it is a second-tier house, it costs 2000 taels of silver, and Zhang Lianbai can't even afford 800 taels, let alone 2000 taels.

And if Li Lin's natal family took action, it would inevitably cause Zhang Lianbai a psychological burden.

"Why don't we take a look together? It's better to get familiar with the way, so as not to go to the wrong door when visiting the elder sister's house." Li Luo suggested

Zhang Lianbai breathed a sigh of relief, and was also grateful to Li Luo for his understanding and saving face: "Please, let me lead the way."

Although the place that Zhang Lianbai planned to rent was from Yijin, I have to say that the location is pretty good.Moreover, Lianhou's Mansion was not far away. According to the speed of the carriage, Li Luo calculated that it would take 15 minutes to arrive.This should be specially chosen for Li Lin.

"I'm afraid the rent here is not cheap?" Li Luo asked.

Zhang Lianbai nodded: "Ten taels of silver a month."

Twelve taels of silver a year is indeed not cheap.If the house is not in the capital, it is only 12 tael of silver a month in other places.The big capital is indeed a place of high consumption.

The 350 mu of land has just arrived, and now Zhang Lianbai is 25 taels of silver a month, after deducting the rent of 10 taels of silver, there are still 15 taels of silver left.

For the couple and the old mother, three dishes and one soup are enough for three people, about two meat, one vegetable and one soup.

Fifteen taels of silver a month is enough.

Zhang Lianbai had no relatives in his family, and the marriage was held in the Hou Mansion. Zhang Lianbai invited a few villagers who usually took care of their mother and child.

However, don't bully the young and poor.Entering the Imperial Academy, he was born as a first-class Jinshi and was born. With Zhang Lianbai's mind, he must be promoted quickly.Now rank seven, mix for three years to rank six, and then mix for three years to rank five.Although life is still poor, Li Luo also likes such poor relatives.

"I heard that before moving in the new house, you have to stay for one night." Li Luo said.

"The house hasn't been decided yet." Zhang Lianbai smiled.He didn't make up his mind right away because he was afraid that his two brothers-in-law would have opinions. Since they didn't have any opinions, he could make a decision.

"Then let's settle the house first. Brother, go and inform mother, and bring a few people to clean it." Li Luo said.

"Okay, let's split up." Li Hong returned to the Marquis Mansion.

After Li Hong left, Zhang Lianbai took Li Luo to find the landlord.Li Changcheng drove the carriage, Zhang Lianbai and Li Luo were on the carriage.
