Chapter 310 2 Entering the Yard
When the carriage just entered the city gate, Bi saw a familiar person at a glance and immediately trotted to the front of the carriage.
He smiled and said respectfully: "Fourth Young Master, you are finally here."
Song Yun nodded and asked softly, "Well, is the yard ready?" Since Song Yiyi had fallen asleep in his arms, he didn't want to wake her up.
Bi Yi nodded quickly and replied: "Yes, it has been purchased."
Song Yun continued, "That's good. Lead the way!"
At the same time, the curtain of the carriage where Shen Xia was also lifted, and everyone could see what was happening in front.
Han Shuang asked curiously, "Sister-in-law, do you have any acquaintances in the capital?"
Shen Xia shook her head: "No!"
Han Shuang was puzzled: "Who is that person?"
Shen Xia smiled and explained, "That person is a servant of our family. Third brother arranged for someone to buy a house in advance, so we have a place to live after we come to the capital."
"Oh, so that's how it is. Third Brother Song is really considerate to you."
"It's OK. Sister Han will meet a considerate and caring husband in the future."
Han Shuang's cheeks turned slightly red when she heard this, and the image of Brother Yun appeared in her mind.
Bi Yi leads the way.
After walking for half an hour, or an hour, we finally arrived at the gate of a yard.
Jixiang got off the carriage first.
Then he helped Shen Xia down.
Shen Xia now understood why she had felt that the carriage was only a little high before, and why there was a stool, so why did she need someone to hold on to it.
Now I understand why?
Because of the skirts. The skirts of this era were too complicated, and it would be embarrassing if you stepped on the skirt and fell.
Shen Xia got off the carriage.
Politely hold Han Shuang's hand.
Han Shuang got off the carriage: "Thank you, sister-in-law."
"You're welcome."
Shen Xia looked at the entrance of the yard.
There is an area next to it where horse-drawn carriages can enter, which is nice.
The yard that is equipped with this small door is generally not too small.
The road here is not as wide as the one in front.
But there is no problem with the wrong carriage.
Bi Yi looked at Shen Xia and looked at the yard: "Young Madam, this yard should be bought as you said, into a middle-class place."
"Well, sure, go in and take a look."
Shen Xia looked around.
what--
Where has Li Yi gone again!
I really don't see people very often.
Han Shuang looked at the house and said, "Why didn't my sister-in-law buy a house in a prosperous area? With the financial resources of the Song family, it should be affordable!"
Han Shuang looked at this ordinary house with curiosity. Although she had never been to the capital, she had just lifted the car curtain and looked over here.
Shen Xia was stunned.
He looked at Han Shuang strangely.
Han Shuang also felt that she had talked too much. After all, she didn't know what Shen Xia was thinking. What if she had other considerations?
So he quickly explained: "Don't misunderstand, sister-in-law, I just think that living in an area with dignitaries, I can get to know more powerful people. Brother Yun's knowledge may be favored by some adults and help his career."
Shen Xia couldn't help laughing after hearing this and said, "I'm afraid that Fourth Brother will not only be favored by the adults for his knowledge, but his handsome appearance will also be liked by the young ladies of the noble families."
When Han Shuang heard this, she thought, yes, why didn’t she think of this?
He nodded repeatedly and said, "Sister-in-law is right. Sister-in-law is very thoughtful."
Song Yun looked at Song Yiyi who had just woken up and walked over, and asked curiously: "What are you talking about? It's so lively."
Shen Xia smiled and replied, "We are discussing whether to buy a yard to a place where dignitaries gather. In this way, maybe one day Fourth Brother can bring back a powerful Fourth Sister-in-law."
When Song Yun heard this, his face instantly turned gloomy, and he said unhappily, "Why are you worrying about this?"
Shen Xia curled her lips and muttered in dissatisfaction: "Tsk, it's just a joke, why are you so stingy?"
"Come, Yiyi, let your mother hug you. Your fourth uncle has tortured you so much along the way." Shen Xia said with a smile.
"Okay! Mother." Song Yi nodded slightly and stretched out her little hand.
In fact, she has always walked on her own since she was this old, but she hasn't been held in arms for a long time and she missed it a little.
Everyone entered the yard together.
Because they were full of curiosity about the new environment, the group decided to take a comprehensive tour.
Everything was arranged by the servants. Qiu Ziyang originally planned to sit in the front yard, but Han Ji was very curious about Song Yun's yard, so he pulled him along to visit.
So, the group walked around the yard excitedly.
Shen Xia was quite satisfied with this yard. Although it was not large, this small yard was particularly warm when there were few people around.
The entire yard is rationally laid out, like a two-entry yard with a front yard and a back yard.
In the middle, Song Yun said to Shen Xia: "Qiu Ziyang and the others will stay here temporarily. When they find a suitable yard in a few days, they will move out."
Shen Xia nodded: "Okay!" It is understandable and this arrangement is also desirable.
After all, they had just arrived and had no other place to stay.
There is definitely no problem staying here for a few days.
But living with outsiders for a long time is definitely not very convenient.
Bi Yi led the way, leading everyone forward, and introduced the surrounding environment in detail: "The capital is divided into two areas, East City and West City. East City is where the dignitaries live; while West City is where the common people live. Of course, there are also some low-income officials and clerks here. However, not all dignitaries live in East City. There is also a small number of rich people who choose to buy properties on the edge of East City."
Shen Xia didn't have too many special requirements for buying the yard. She felt that as long as she didn't buy it in a place with a lot of mixed people, it would be fine.
Because such places pose safety risks and make people feel uneasy.
Therefore, the courtyard that Bi Yi purchased was not large in scale, but it was located on the edge of East City, not far from West City.
It is also easy to get in and out.
Most of the neighbors around are minor officials and businessmen.
Of course, the Song family has the financial resources to buy a better courtyard, but why didn’t Shen Xia do so?
As the saying goes: Don't force your way into a circle that doesn't belong to you.
What's more, this is not the era of the previous life when equality was emphasized for everyone.
But now is an era of slavery and imperial supremacy.
Of course, I cannot regard myself as a modern person and forcibly fight against the ancient imperial power.
After all, living in a place where dignitaries gather is not just about all kinds of right and wrong.
If you are unlucky enough to meet a playboy and get yourself into unnecessary trouble, it would be a waste of time and effort.
This is not an era where you can be right wherever you want.
It was an era when anyone who said anything wrong about the royal family would be held accountable.
Therefore, Shen Xia chose to stay away from the center of power, find a quiet residence, and live a peaceful and stable life.
This way Song Yun can prepare for the exam with peace of mind.
