The official road of the farmer

Ye Junshu made a complete surprise.

Except for him, Ye Junshan and the others have no idea what their new home looks like.

When the day comes, they will see for the first time the new home they will live in for years, if not decades, to come.

The Ye family brothers had great expectations.

Before the arrival of the auspicious time, the brothers of the Ye family and the friends and guests he invited all arrived at the main entrance. The vermilion red gate with a new look was closed tightly. In the center of the gate, two ferocious ordinary iron beasts were embedded in the gate. A door knocker of the same color is hung below each.

There is no plaque hanging directly above the gate, but a square object covered with a red cloth is leaning against the pillar next to the gate.

Ye Jun wrote with a smile on his face, his eyes were a little wandering, and he unconsciously looked towards the intersection. He had asked Shopkeeper Wang to bring a letter to Ah Yu, and he should already know today's date.

But it was almost auspicious time, he looked left and right and waited, but he still didn't wait for Ah Yu to appear.

Ah Yu is not the kind of person who will break his promise. Since he has promised him, he will definitely do it. So, is there something that delays it?

Ye Junshu almost couldn't bear it and ran out to find someone, but he remembered that today, on such an important occasion, he couldn't leave willfully.Reason overcame emotion, Ye Junshu comforted himself, Ah Yu must have been delayed, it's still early, maybe it will be later!

"It's auspicious time!"

Tian Guanshi brought a group of Fang family servants to support the scene. When the auspicious time came, the four big men hung a rather heavy plaque on the main entrance firmly.

Ye Junshu stepped forward and took off the red cloth himself.

The moment the red cloth fell, the two big characters Ye Zhai written by Ye Junshu himself appeared in front of everyone.

Almost at the same time, the sound of crackling firecrackers sounded.

The front door is wide open to welcome distinguished guests.

The twins covered their ears while laughing and chased each other into the house. Ye Junshu ignored them and stood at the door as the master, welcoming the guests.

Ye Junshan also stood beside Ye Junshu.

"Congratulations!" Yu Maolin stepped forward first, presenting the big gift that had been prepared.

"Thank you! Please come in!" Ye Junshu's face was full of joy.

Nan Ah Mo on the side took the gift.

Next was Steward Tian presenting the housewarming gift on behalf of the master, followed by Ye Junhao, Uncle Dong and the brothers from the caravan.

Ye Junshu greeted them one by one. He didn't have a social circle in Shangjing, and he didn't know many people. The only person he formally met here who was not related to him was Ah Yu.

But Ayu hasn't come yet.

Ye Junshu stood at the door for a while, until Nan Ahmo couldn't help but asked doubtfully, "Master, are there any guests yet?"

Ye Junshu didn't answer, he looked and looked in the direction of the intersection, and said, "Let's go in."

The lively children have already gone exploring everywhere with their little hands and feet, and they can't stop laughing and laughing along the way.

Ye Junshu only heard his voice but could not see him, but with Ye Junhao there, Ye Junshu went with them.

We are all acquaintances, so there is no need to be so restrained.

Yu Maolin and the others came here for the first time, and they walked around with great interest, and finally commented: "Not bad, very warm."

Yes, Ye Junshu's new home, whether it is the design or the structure, reveals a warm tone, unlike the houses and gardens of those rich families, which pursue luxury and beauty, and are too crafty, but cold and unpopular.

Ye Junshu generously accepted the compliment, "Thank you."

This is their home in Shangjing. Naturally, warmth is the main priority, and refinement is second.

Yu Maolin was also very satisfied, "Since your house and sources of income have been completely settled, can you focus on the imperial examination from today?"

Yu Maolin resented Ye Junshu for "not doing his job properly" during this time. If he didn't understand, he would have tied Ye Junshu to his house and stared at him reading every day.

Ye Junshu: "..." Inexplicably, his heart felt cold, he looked left and right, and Yu Maolin was staring at him.

He coughed dryly, and couldn't help explaining: "I've spent most of my time studying my homework recently." Maybe a small part of the time was spent thinking about Ah Yu, but he promised that it was definitely only a small part of the time!It was basically before going to bed, and it never affected him.

Ye Junshu had already thought it over, he could see that Ah Yu only regarded him as a friend, so he should associate with him as a friend first to deepen the relationship, and he was also worried that if he rashly made it clear, maybe Ah Yu would just avoid it. Let him go!

Given the difference in their current identities, once Ah Yu wanted to hide from him, it would be even more difficult for him to see him.

Ye Junshu weighed the pros and cons, and felt that they should maintain their friendship first.

Thinking of Ah Yu, Ye Junshu couldn't help being distracted again, why didn't Ah Yu come?

"Zizhou, what are you thinking?"

Yu Maolin talked for a while, but didn't hear a response. He took a closer look and found that Ye Junshu seemed to be listening carefully, but in fact his eyes were empty, obviously wandering.

"Huh?" Ye Junshu came back to his senses, and saw Yu Maolin's unattractive face, Ye Junshu touched his nose, "Maolin, I'm sorry, I'm thinking of other things."

Yu Maolin was not interested in getting to the bottom of it, so he continued the topic just now, "Just arrange it in your yard, I don't choose."

Ye Junshu: "???" What did Mao Lin say when he just wandered away?

But no matter what you say, answer first and then say, "Okay."

Yu Maolin immediately nodded in satisfaction, he decided, since the mountain doesn't come, it's me, and I will come to the mountain.Anyway, Zizhou's house looked comfortable and big enough to him, so he decided to live here.

At this moment, a servant ran over, saluted and said, "Young Master Ye, there is a guest at the door who said he was looking for you."

the door?guest!

Ye Junshu's eyes lit up immediately. Considering that there were outsiders in front of him, he barely maintained his demeanor, nodded and said, "I see."

After the servant retreated, Ye Junshu said to Yu Maolin, "I'll go and have a look first, you can do it yourself."

Yu Maolin nodded.

So Ye Junshu turned around and walked towards the gate.

Yu Maolin stared at Ye Junshu's back and was puzzled, why did he seem so eager?What guests are here?

After leaving Yu Maolin's sight range, Ye Junshu couldn't help speeding up his pace, almost galloping out.

When he saw the gate, he slowed down, stopped to check that his clothes were not wrinkled or crooked, and then walked out at a normal speed.

The person standing tall and straight outside the door was the person he was thinking of.

Ye Junshu raised a smile, "Ah Yu." He quickened two steps and walked in front of Li Yu.

Li Yu looked at Ye Junshu and said apologetically, "Sorry, I'm late."

"It's not too late, the banquet hasn't started yet." Ye Junshu smiled, "I thought you couldn't come because of something!"

Li Yu said: "Since I have promised to come, then I will definitely come." Then he handed over a gift box prepared by himself, "Happy housewarming!"

"Thank you." Ye Junshu accepted the gift generously, then stretched out his right hand and leaned slightly, making a gesture of invitation, "Please come in!"

Li Yu stood still, he looked at Ye Junshu in embarrassment.

Ye Junshu immediately asked with concern: "What's wrong?"

Li Yu apologized again, "I'm sorry, I have something to do, so I can't attend your banquet."

"Is that so..." Ye Junshu lowered his eyes, extremely disappointed, "I also want to introduce my younger brothers and friends to you..."

Before Li Yu could speak, Ye Junshu forced a smile on his face, and said empathetically, "It's okay, your business is important. I'll be very happy if you can come to say hello to me in your busy schedule."

When Ye Junshu said this, Li Yu felt even more guilty, and he wanted to apologize again, but Ye Junshu interrupted him in time, "You don't have to apologize to me, are we friends? Since we are friends, why bother to be so alien? Are you busy? Go about your business, if you are really sorry, you can talk to me when you come back from work."

He was worried that he would have no excuse to know about Ah Yu!Ye Junshu's smile deepened.

Sure enough, Li Yu said seriously: "I will explain to you when I come back."

Ye Junshu smiled, "Okay."

Without speaking any more, Li Yu said goodbye, and then strode away.

Ye Jun Shumu sent him away, stood for a while, and then turned back.

He touched the gift box that Li Yu gave him, but he didn't feel any sense of loss, and he was even in such a good mood that he wanted to laugh out loud.

cough!Hold back, be reserved.

This was a gift from Ah Yu, so Ye Junshu naturally wouldn't put it together with other things. He walked quickly into his yard, returned to his room, put it on the table, and opened it expectantly by himself.

A primitive inkstone appeared in front of him. He carefully picked it up and looked at it carefully. No matter in terms of material, appearance, or craftsmanship, they were all of the highest quality.If he guessed right, this is a Duan inkstone famous for its quaintness, simplicity, exquisiteness, and nature, and is known as "the best inkstone in the world", "the first of all inkstones", and "the treasure of the four treasures of the study".

He looked carefully, the texture of the inkstone was beautiful and natural, obviously it was made by a master.

How many scholars are proud of having duan inkstones.

However, top-grade Duanyan is hard to come by, at least in Yu Maolin's trench, he has not seen Duanyan yet.

This gift from Ah Yu is really too precious.

But it was given by Ah Yu, so he was naturally reluctant to return it.

To him, Ah Yu's intentions are more important than this Fang Duanyan.

"Big brother! Big brother!"

When Ye Junshu was smirking at Duan Yan, the twins shouted from outside.

Ye Junshu put the inkstone back into the gift box and closed it. After finding a place to put it away, he responded and walked out.

"Brother is here, what's wrong?"

Ye Junshu walked to the corridor, and a group of children ran from Wu Lala opposite, their little faces flushed with excitement.

"Big brother, big brother, it's so hard to choose! The small yards are so beautiful!"

The area of ​​the new home is four acres including the yard. He has not measured it, but the area of ​​the land deed is so large, there may be differences, but it is not much different.

At first, he didn't think so, but after the house was completely repaired, Ye Junshu felt that he really made money.

900 taels for buying a house plus 200 taels for repair labor and material costs, plus 300 taels for a complete set of furniture introduced by acquaintances, you have to come to such a house, it is really worth it.

In addition to the main courtyard, Ye Junshu also divided seven sets of small courtyards through ingenious design, which not only retains a certain degree of privacy, but also will not be far apart. Ye Junshu plans to have one set for each of the younger brothers, and the other two sets will be used as entertaining guests. use.

Although it is a small courtyard, compared to the main courtyard, it is not much different. It has everything you need, but the area is relatively small.

In addition, two rows of ordinary wing rooms were also made for future people to live in.

Ye Junshan had already chosen the courtyard, but there was no need to choose one. Ye Junshu considered the small mountain to practice martial arts, and specially circled a place as a training ground, so there was no dispute.

The difficulty was that the two twins kept chattering but could not make up their minds, because they both wanted the yard closest to their elder brother.

Brother Qin talked aside, he also wanted the yard next door to the elder brother, but he was the elder brother, so he had to let the younger brothers choose first.

Ye Junshu then said, "You are still young, you won't live in any yard you choose right away, you have to live with me."

There may be personal servants in the future, and his main courtyard alone has more than a dozen rooms dedicated to servants.

Of course, the twins live next door to him, and he purposely made it the master bedroom.

Ye Jun rolled his eyes, "The courtyard next door is for the fourth brother to live in!"

Brother Jing had no objection, and nodded in agreement, "Fourth brother lives." Then he looked at Brother Qin.

Brother Qin squeezed his little hands and said, "Then let you live in after you move out of Big Brother's yard."

Ye Junshu rubbed Brother Qin's little head, "You and Brother Lu are together."

Brother Lu and Brother Qin live together in the yard next door to him.It is said that it is next door, but in fact there is still a distance, but Nan Ah lives in the same yard as them, so there is nothing to worry about.

The place is so big, and there are so few of them, Ye Junshu thinks it's better to live in a denser place first, and when they get older or have servants to take care of them, they can sleep separately.

Xiaoshan and Chenghe, two and a half children, live in separate yards.

None of them have a problem with that.

So it was allocated like this. As for the future, they will negotiate slowly after themselves.

Ye Junshu believed that they were so sensible that they would be able to solve it perfectly.

The banquet was prepared by the chef Nan, Geer Lu, Brother Qin, and the two Ahma brought by Steward Tian, ​​and soon a feast was prepared.

The guests were very satisfied with the meal, and they chatted until the evening before leaving.

On the first night in his new home, Ye Junshu slept soundly.

When he got up, he took a look at the inkstone that Ah Yu had given him, and then went out to wash and exercise contentedly.

The family had a lively breakfast, and Lu Geer took a group of people to the shop to work.

Left alone, Ye Junshu rubbed his chin and pondered in front of the huge house, should he buy some servants back?

Once the owner left, the house seemed deserted.

Moreover, for such a big house, someone should clean it from time to time, otherwise it will be dusty in a short time.

But Ye Junshu didn't struggle for long, Ye Junhao and the caravan brothers had already come over.

This was discussed before. After they moved into the new house, Ye Junhao and the others would come and live together, so that they could have a companion.

They stayed in the caravan until the end of the year, and Ye Junshu didn't want them to just live in the inn because of emotion and reason.

What's more, it is very likely that they will be partners in the future.

Ye Junhao said with a smile, just draw a yard for them, and take care of food and lodging by themselves, so Ye Junshu doesn't need to bother.In addition, Ye Junhao also gave Ye Junshu 100 taels of silver as rent. When the money was put in Ye Junshu's hands, his face changed.

"Brother Haozi, what do you think of me?"

"I won this for you, and you just keep it. My brother is still clear about it! A large group of us don't live for a day or two, at least for a month."

"Do you still think I'm a friend? Who needs to pay the rent to live in a friend's house?" Ye Junshu still refused to accept it.

"It's the same as us helping to repair the house and you pay labor costs. You have spent so much during this time, don't you have much savings? Your small shop can cover daily expenses, but you still need to study! This is what you deserve, so you should accept it. The hotel we live in is about the same amount, and it is not as comfortable as here. "

"If you don't accept it, they will have no face to stay."

Ye Junhao talked about it, but Ye Junshu reluctantly accepted it, but he said, "This will be your food expenses, and it will be your share in the morning, noon and evening."

Their family has a small population, so it is difficult to prepare such a large portion, so Ye Junshu decided to borrow two cooks from Uncle Tian.

Ye Junshu's stance was tough, and Ye Junhao responded. Everyone took a step back, and the matter was resolved.

After they settled down, Ye Junshu returned to his yard and saw several servants of Maolin's family carrying things to the room next to him, so he asked curiously, "What are you doing?"

Yu Maolin was watching the servants carry with his hands behind his back, and when he heard Ye Junshu's question, he took it for granted, "Since I have decided to live here, I will naturally move here with whatever I can find. The room next door to yours is nice, and it happens to be close to you. , we can discuss homework and communicate with each other at any time."

So this is the news he missed yesterday? !

Ye Junshu's eyes suddenly went dark, and he had already foreseen the tragic future of being called up to do homework every day before dawn, and suddenly thought of a theory in the middle of the night, and then being dug out of bed.

Can he raise an objection?

He still wants to exchange feelings with Ayu every now and then!

The author has something to say:

small theater

One day, the eldest brother of the Li family suddenly wanted to practice calligraphy on a whim, but he turned left and right to find nothing.

Li Yu: Brother, what are you looking for?

Li Changchuan: I'm looking for the Fang Duan inkstone we got from the emperor's pit. It's strange, where did it go? (Mumbling to himself) Could it be that I threw it in a corner and stuffed it into a pothole?

Li Yu: ... [rolls away guiltily]
