Chapter 82 Standing on your own(2/2)

Du Youlin always only looked at family background when arranging his children's marriages. He didn't even know who Xue Sanniang was, so he shook his head and said: "The Xue family's family background is a bit low, not to mention having such a father-in-law, it's not a good marriage."

The couple reached a consensus.

Lu Fengniang sighed and said: "They will move out tomorrow..."

~~

It was still dark, and Qinglan had already gotten up.

She didn't sleep well all night, and her mind was filled with thoughts about moving, so she simply got up early and started packing.

After collecting the clothes to dry, she carried a small lantern and walked from the back courtyard to the main courtyard. When passing by the back garden, she saw someone walking through the window on the courtyard wall.

"Huh? Auntie?"

Qinglan ran to the window and glanced at the verandah. She saw Du Wei's door gently closing. She thought she couldn't sleep and went out to look at the stars.

She walked to the main courtyard, blew off the lantern, and gently opened the door of Xue Bai's room and went in. She smelled a faint fragrance and the curtains were drawn, presumably he was still sleeping.

She put the clean spring clothes on the bedside, picked up the old clothes, and was about to leave. Qinglan turned around again, secretly opened the curtain and looked inside. She got closer, and she could see Xue Bai's forehead under the faint moonlight.

Some sweating.

Sure enough, the quilt was still too thick.

Not daring to wake him up, she quickly carried the clothes back to the backyard and washed them together with her own mattress. When it was daylight and saw that Xue Bai hadn't gotten up yet, she made arrangements for Liu Xiangjun and the Xue family's children.

Breakfast.

After packing up the things, Xue Bai didn't get up until the afternoon, and they started moving.

After all the luggage was loaded into the car, Qinglan went out and couldn't help but look back at Du Zhai, who had lived with her for almost ten years, when she saw Caiyun running over in tears.

The expectation and excitement in her mind were immediately thrown away, she ran back and hugged Caiyun and cried loudly.

"Uuuu... Caiyun Qinglan, we are going to separate..."

Caiyun wiped away her tears and pinched Qinglan's face. She couldn't bear to use force and could only curse: "You little heartless thing..."

"Okay." Lu Fengniang said: "We are all here in Chang'an City, and we will come back from time to time."

Everyone in the Du family would also go over to help clean up, while Du Wulang went back to Fengwei Building to arrange some food and drinks and bring them over in the evening.

A group of carriages and horses headed west from Shengpingfang in Wannian County, crossed Zhuque Street, and entered Changshoufang.

Yang Yuyao sent many slaves to Xue Bai. At this time, the house had been cleaned and they were waiting outside the door.

"Congratulations to Mr. Xue for returning home."

"Thank you, Uncle Deng, for coming for a trip."

Deng Tong greeted him with a smile and said: "It is inconvenient for Mrs. Guo to come over. If Xue Langjun still needs something, just tell me. Xue's house has been divided and sold over the years, and it can only be restored to this for the time being. Xue Langjun

Are you satisfied with it?"

Xue Ling lost money in gambling and sold his ancestral property, leaving only the two courtyards in the southeast corner of the originally six-entry house.

At this time, Liu Xiangjun walked into the door with his children and was stunned immediately.

"Auntie, why was the courtyard wall broken through?" Xue Xin looked over and asked, "Is Xu Touji next door gone?"

Immediately, a maid came forward to greet her, and said, "I would like to welcome you back to my house. Not only the front yard on the west side, but also the backyard on the east side. The backyard on the west side has been bought. It is Mrs. Guo Guo who repays Xue Langjun."

The life-saving grace..."

Liu Xiangjun was startled, and almost wanted to retreat. After all, he recalled his past upbringing, forced himself to calm down, pulled Xue Bai over, and whispered: "Liu Lang, your grandpa still owes a lot of gambling debts. If the creditor

I’m afraid it’s not good if you know it, right?”

Xue Bai frightened the creditor just yesterday and said: "It doesn't matter, the creditor will not pursue the case."

Before he could finish his words, the person sent by Yang Zhao to deliver the gift arrived, and he turned around to deal with it.

Although Liu Xiangjun was troubled by his son's indifference, he was still happy after all. He took out copper coins to reward the slaves. At the end of the distribution, he couldn't help but shed tears.

Xue Xin saw it and thought that grandma was reluctant to part with the money.



This was the first time Qing Lan came to Xue's house and she looked around curiously.

This house is slightly smaller than Du's house. It was once divided into four courtyards. After it was bought and renovated, the layout is still a bit strange, but at least it is not like Xue Bai said that there are no separate houses.

She wanted to choose a place for Xue Bai to live. After looking around, she felt that the east wing of the backyard was a bit crowded, so she turned to the west backyard.

After passing through the small door, her eyes suddenly lit up.

At that time, this courtyard was probably sold to a tasteful young official from the capital. The small courtyard was filled with flowers and trees, and rockeries and pavilions were arranged.

There is a main house hidden behind the bamboo garden. It is quiet and elegant, but the orientation is not very good, and the doors and windows open to the west.

The courtyard wall was built on top, and after the redemption, it was not completely demolished, but a small door was opened. It is convenient for coming and going, and it can be a separate courtyard when the door is closed.

All in all, she looked very satisfied. She wanted Xue Bai to choose this small courtyard to live in, but she also felt that he was the son of the Xue family after all, so he should take care of his parents first. Besides, it was hard for her as a maid to interrupt.

After standing there hesitating for a while, Xue Bai happened to come over.

"Which house do you like?"

"Langjun, everything is fine."

"You have to choose one."

Qinglan couldn't help but pointed to the main house in the west backyard and whispered: "It's very nice there, but..."

"Then live there."

Xue Bai showed no sign of humility to others and nodded casually to settle the matter.

Qinglan saw that the house had been tidied up and the bed was new, so she took a bedding and spread it. Then she went around to the penthouse and took a look. Although it was a small room, it had a south-facing window with a garden outside the window. She became even more satisfied.

So she spread her bedding in the ear room.



After placing the luggage, Du Wulang arrived with wine and food.

After a small family banquet, everyone in the Du family left in front of the evening drum, leaving only the Xue family talking in the lobby.

The younger children remembered that the house had been sold off beforehand, and they had not yet recovered from the shock.

"Auntie, our family used to be this big."

"yes."

"But I don't dare to sleep in a room by myself. Can I still sleep with my mother on the same bunk?"

As Xue Jiuniang timidly said something, everyone laughed.

"We won't be able to sleep in a bunk bed in the future, as this is such a big room." Xue Xin finally showed a childish smile.

Only Xue Gengbo was expressionless, and he sighed calmly: "Oh, I don't know which friend took Alang away to hide from debts. It would be great if he could see this situation."

Xue Xin's smile immediately froze and he glanced outside the hall, worried that the courtyard door was not closed properly.

And when he turned back to look at Xue Bai, his uneasiness disappeared and he felt that it was better not to come back. Brother Six was the real head of the family.

~~

As night fell, everyone who had moved to a new home went back to their rooms.

There are only two people, Xue Bai and Qing Lan, in the main house in the west backyard.

Qing Lan put down the candlestick, turned around and saw that Xue Bai was already lying down.

"Mr. Sir, you got up so late and went to bed so early?"

"Well, it's hard to read and write strategies after it gets dark, and it will be the same if you get up early tomorrow."

"Really? Lang Jun seems to have never gotten up early."

"I'll see you later."

"We all use tiger seed barrels at home, right? Are the husband and the second mother going to look for the hut in the evening?"

"Yes, not found."

"Then I'll sleep in the penthouse. It will be convenient for my husband to call me if he needs anything later."

Xue Bai heard her voice getting lower and lower, and turned around to look. Under the candlelight, he saw her wearing a spring shirt, showing a natural and lovely look at home.

Qing Lan originally wanted to chat, but when he saw her, she felt shy and ran back to the penthouse.

Lying on the bed, covering myself with quilt, feeling that there was only a wall between me and Xue Bai, I was not only happy but also a little panicked.

Their relationship has taken another step closer, and she still needs to adapt.

Xue Bai closed his eyes and felt the responsibility of being the head of the family.

He came from the snow alone, and now he has to carry a house.

It has nothing to do with blood, he needs a portal, and this portal also needs him...

The floor plan of Xue's house has a paintball chapter. In the front, the thicker black line in the middle is the courtyard wall that divides and sells. This chapter has 5,000 words. Let's take a look at it first. I haven't finished the next chapter yet and will post it later.
Chapter completed!
