Chapter 501 Hungry
After more than ten days of hard work, the shopkeeper of Yahang finally found a suitable courtyard for Fan Jinglan in Xinghua Lane.
The courtyard is diagonally opposite Xia Mingyue's house, a little further inside.
People at the dental clinic said that across the courtyard is a doctor named Yin. Although he usually treats patients a little more harshly and forcefully, his medical skills seem to be very powerful and very impressive. respect.
As for the neighbors on both sides of the courtyard, one side is a family named Ge, who is honest and easy to get along with, while the other side is a courtyard whose owner just changed last year. The new owner of this courtyard seems to have a close relationship. The merchants have not come back since they went out to do business last year, so it is empty.
The owner of this courtyard, whose surname was originally Yang, has lived here for three generations. The house was renovated at the beginning of this year, and he was originally unwilling to sell it. That is to say, Fan Jinglan paid a high price, so the shopkeeper of the dental shop tried hard to persuade him. Persuading the Yang family to move out of here and buy a larger courtyard nearby, and still have a sum of money left over, is simply not a good deal.
The youngest son of the Yang family has indeed reached the age where he should marry. If he can live in a larger courtyard and have a sum of money, the marriage will be very easy.
The family discussed for two days and finally agreed to sell the courtyard.
Because they received a lot of money, the Yang family was also quite generous. In addition to the soft goods at home, other items such as beds, boxes, tables and chairs, etc., even though many of them were very new, they still kept them and provided for them. Used by new head of household.
Fan Jinglan also asked her subordinates to come to inspect the house in advance and purchase some daily necessities. Stepping into Xinghua Lane today is considered to be a formal move-in.
Fan Jinglan was very excited about living in Xinghua Lane. She did not let the carriage come to see her off, but only came on foot, jumping almost all the way.
The maid Ying'er beside her was a little puzzled and sighed, "I really feel wronged to let you live in such a place."
"That's not right." Fan Jinglan He retorted, "It's not someone else who asked me to live here. I spent a lot of effort to find such a place, so I don't have any grievances. Don't say such things again in the future."
"Yes." Ying'er was well aware of her young lady's temper and did not make any rebuttal at this time, but the confusion in her heart became even stronger. Is this Madam Xia really so attractive to the lady who came here?”
“Well, she’s good at cooking, has a kind heart, and is well-controlled.” Fan Jinglan made no secret of her praise for Xia Mingyue. .
Ying'er nodded when she heard this, but there was still a murmur in her heart.
The last few are good, probably really good, but this cooking skill is good...
This is the border, even though it is a prosperous county, but compared to the capital city , this place is just a barren land. It is said that the soil and water support the people. How good can the cooking skills be in such a place?
Even though the cooking skills here are quite good, compared to the chefs of various cuisines in the capital, I am afraid they are not good enough.
My young lady probably eats a lot of delicacies from the mountains and seas. Occasionally she eats this porridge and side dishes, I think it has a unique flavor.
Forget it, if the young lady is willing, she can eat porridge and side dishes to relieve her tiredness. When she gets tired of eating, she will start to miss those exquisite meals...
Ying'er can't help but think about it in her heart. , suddenly smelled a breath, and couldn't help but sniffed and smacked her lips, "Miss, it seems to smell something."
"Yes, it smells good!" Fan Jinglan also smelled the fragrance, too. After sniffing for a while, I followed the smell and walked in until I stopped at the door of a house. "It came from here!"
When I realized that this house was not someone else's, it was Xia Mingyue's house. His eyes suddenly lit up, "This is Madam Xia's house. It should be the aroma of the food cooked by Madam Xia."
The food cooked by Madam Xia?
Yinger was startled.
The smell alone is so mellow and fragrant. If you eat it... "Gulu!"
Ying'er couldn't help but swallowed.
Fan Jinglan also swallowed saliva, and because it was almost noon, her already shriveled stomach even screamed at the right time, making a "gurgling" sound that was no less than swallowing saliva.
Although Fan Jinglan has an upright temperament, she has been taught the rules of the palace since she was brought up. Such rude behavior that was not in line with etiquette immediately made her cheeks turn red.
After looking around and confirming that there was no one else in the alley, he felt relieved and quickly used his hand as a fan to fan himself quickly to relieve the heat caused by the embarrassment just now.
"Miss, the maid will go back and prepare meals for the lady right now."
"Well..." Fan Jinglan thought for a moment, stopped Ying'er, and pointed to the door of Xia Mingyue's house, "Today At noon, let’s be shameless.”
Come uninvited!
Huh?
Ying'er was stunned.
Miss, are you serious?
Just when Ying'er hesitated to dissuade her, Fan Jinglan had already picked up her dress, walked up the steps to Xia Mingyue's house, and raised her hand to knock on the door.
It seems that the lady is indeed serious!
Ying'er hurriedly followed.
After two clear knocks on the door, Xia Mingyue, who happened to be playing with Wu Jin in the yard, answered the door, "Who is it?" When the extremely generous young lady bought all the rice dumplings and food on the stall, Xia Mingyue was surprised and pleasantly surprised, "It's you."
"It's me." Fan Jing Lanfu Yifu said, "My surname is Fan, and my maiden name is Jinglan."
"Hello, Madam Fan." I haven’t seen Mrs. Fan day and night. I thought Mrs. Fan was just passing through here and had gone back. I never thought that I would see Mrs. Fan again today.” "I see you often." Fan Jinglan said frankly without any concealment, "I have bought the courtyard diagonally opposite, and we will be neighbors from now on."
Madam Fan bought the courtyard opposite?
Xia Mingyue was suddenly surprised.
Everyone in Xinghua Lane has heard about the sale of the Yang family’s courtyard. They also heard that the other party’s bid was very high, which was enough for the Yang family to buy a larger courtyard and for their youngest son to get married. At that time, there was even more discussion in Xinghua Lane.
Discuss who is so generous and willing to pay such a high price.
I never thought that this person was Mrs. Fan.
When Xia Mingyue bought all the rice dumplings and food at once, Xia Mingyue had a good impression of Mrs. Fan. She was generous in spending money, but she spoke very gently and behaved well, making her look like a lady.
People like this become her new neighbors, and they will probably be easy to get along with in the future.
But here comes the question, why does such a beautiful lady live in Xicheng District, which is full of urban atmosphere, and only come to Xinghua Lane?
