    After a quarter of an hour, the blacksmith finished the iron leaves.  Li Bochen asked him how much money he should give, but he said, "I'll see."

    This man has a really weird temper.  Because he really said something useful, Li Bochen gave him ten qian¡ªhe only used ten qian to beat the iron leaf.

    But Yu Meng didn't say anything, he swiped the money into the money basket, grabbed the handkerchief hanging on the wall, wiped his face, and lay down again, as if he didn't care about it.

    The two went out to lead the horse and walked slowly along the road.  Li Bochen thought for a while, and said: "This person is nothing, but he is not simple."

    Lin Qiao said: "Because the one to the north is Jinghu Mountain."

    Li Bochen looked over there, and saw a mountain peak in the stretch of mountains was particularly majestic, with a slight white light shining at the foot of the mountain.  Those white lights should be reflected by the sun on the water waves, maybe they are Jinghu Lake.  Next to Jinghu Lake, of course, is Jinghu Mountain.

    He thought for a while, understood what Lin Qiao was going to say, and said with a smile: "That's right. It's not easy to stay in this kind of place at this time, and live like this."

    After saying this, he looked at Lin Qiao again and smiled in his heart.  Originally, he liked Lin Qiao's beauty and gentleness, but there was a force hidden in his temper.  But after getting along these days, I found that she is really considerate.  There are many things that she didn't think of for a while, and she will mention them.  But when he spoke, it was the same as before, and he only said half of the words, so that he could think about it later, and didn't make him feel ashamed.

    In fact, he doesn't care about things like face, especially with her.  But when she did this, Li Bochen was moved in his heart, and he felt more pity for her.

    The two walked along the street for a while, and soon came to the end.  The shops on both sides are gone, but there are fields and houses ahead, and there are not many people coming and going.  Perhaps because there have been a lot of quacks coming and going in recent months, people on the road often just look at the two of them up and down, not as surprised as he thought before.

    This place is indeed a vibrant scene, which is rare even in the Sui Kingdom.  Li Bochen murmured in his heart, wondering if he had misunderstood Zhu Yi?  Can that person kill and heal others?

    The two walked along the road for a while, and saw what the blacksmith called "the western hillside" from a distance.  There really was an old poplar tree on that slope, I don¡¯t know how many years old, five or six people embraced it thick and thin, and the crown of the tree was like a big umbrella.  There are four courtyards on the slope, scattered high and low.  One of them is billowing with cooking smoke, it must be someone's house, "Lady Meng"'s house, that's where it is.

    They walked up the slope along the road and came to the courtyard gate under the tree. They saw that the dark courtyard gate was half open, and there were still sounds of children chasing and playing inside.

    Li Bochen stepped forward and patted the animal-faced door knocker, and said loudly, "Is this Mrs. Meng's house?"

    The voices of the children in the courtyard suddenly disappeared.  Not long after, a boy's head poked quickly behind the door, glanced at him, and retracted again.  Then I heard the child running in, shouting something like "pig pig".

    But a girl's head also poked out from behind the door, and also glanced at Li Bochen.  This girl wears a bun and is slightly older than the previous boy, probably two siblings.  But the elder sister didn't take a look and run away like the younger brother, but leaned out half of her body again and said, "What is the guest doing with A Niang?"

    Looking at her hanging bun, she should be only six or seven years old.  But when he speaks, he is articulate and not very afraid of people. He is really cute and bold.

    Li Bochen smiled and said, "Are you Miss Meng? Is your mother at home?"

    It was probably the first time for a girl to be called a young lady by an adult, and she immediately became reserved, but she couldn't hide the joy on her face, which made Li Bochen and Lin Qiao couldn't help laughing.  She moved her body from behind the door again, and said like a little grown-up: "Auntie is here. Guests please come in first for tea¡ª"

    Having said that, I heard a woman in the courtyard say: "Xiao Man, who are you talking to?"

    As soon as the girl heard this, she immediately shrank back.

    Li Bochen stepped back down the steps, and immediately saw the courtyard door being pushed open, and a woman in a blue coat and plain skirt came out.  The woman was dressed plainly and had a fair face, quite pretty.  Looking at the age of thirty or so, his demeanor is very dignified.  Seeing Li Bochen, he said, "You are?"

    Li Bochen cupped his hands: "Chen Boli, this is my wife. Are you Mrs. Meng?"

    The woman looked at the two people and the two horses again, laughed, and said, "I am."

    Li Bochen said: "Just now in the market town, I heard Blacksmith Yu said that if he wanted to find a house, he could find Mrs. Meng, so he came to bother him."

    "Oh" Mrs. Meng looked at him again, thought for a while, and smiled, "It's easy to talk about, sit here and talk about it."

    ?Zi smiled and said: "Then that's the question. We have an old gentleman here, whose surname is Chang, and the single name is "Xiu". Have you heard of it?"

    Lin Qiao said: "Huh? Why does it sound familiar?"

    Li Bochen interjected: "Could it be that Chang Shaoqing from the former Taichang Temple?"

    Mrs. Meng said: "Exactly. Mr. Chang's ancestral home is here, otherwise how could it be a coincidence? You see, the one in front is your house. Further up, the third entry is the Chang family's¡ª¡ª  It used to belong to our family, they moved here and bought it.¡±

    "The Chang family all live in it, and they actually set up a school in the inverted room to teach literacy. When you have children, send them there."

    What Mrs. Meng was talking about was the mansion on the top of the hill, which was more than a hundred steps away from the one Li Bochen wanted to see.  He was overjoyed, secretly thinking that luck is really good, and Xiaoman is really smart.  If you really live here, doing things will be much more convenient.

    Lin Qiao took his arm and said happily, "This is really great. Boli, let's stay here. I like it here and I don't want to leave."

    Li Bochen smiled and said: "Okay, if you like it, we will stay here."

    Seeing the appearance of the two of them, Mrs. Meng clicked her tongue twice: "A pair made in heaven, really enviable. When I was my sister's age, that person didn't love me so much. Sister, you are with the right person.  "

    Lin Qiao smiled and said, "Look at what you said, elder sister."

    Having said this, he let go of Li Bochen's hand, and walked up to Lady Meng to talk to her.  As expected, she has experienced many years of experience, and after only talking about three or four sentences, the two women looked like good sisters for many years.  Li Bochen listened to their words as he walked, and he knew that Mrs. Meng's husband was also named Meng, Peiyong, and they were close relatives.

    The Meng family was originally a big family in Mengjiatun, and someone was an official before.  However, after the national change more than ten years ago, the ancestors defended the land and died, and the population withered, and it suddenly declined.  But misfortune and blessing depend on them, and they are the only ones left, and the ancestral property will be passed on to them.

    Meng Peiyong had learned some tricks when he was young, but after Zhu Hou took over the place, he was envious of other scholars, so he recruited a group of people to set up a "shu study", so Meng Peiyong went to Jinghu Mountain and became the owner of the art museum  went.

    Li Bochen thought to himself, the people here depend on Zhu Hou for their lives, I really don't know who he is, he has been like this for only a few months.  Could it be the one who walked with Ye Lu, who was secretly manipulating?

    When they entered the house and entered the courtyard, Li Bochen saw that the floor of the courtyard was paved with blue bricks.  There is a main room in the front, two side rooms, the east wing room in the east, and the stables in the west.  There is a well in the courtyard, and there are two inverted rooms, which can be used as utility rooms and residences for servants.

    This house is not very big, but it is not small either.  It is not too crowded to live in a family of five and add two servants.  The courtyard is also very spacious, and he can use it to practice swords and boxing at ordinary times.  He looked at the wood carvings on the eaves, the neat black tiles, and the bluestone well in front of the east wing, and he really liked it, so he said, "Sister, if I buy this yard, how much will it cost?"

    Lady Meng smiled and said, "That's settled? That's fine. Men like to be straightforward in doing things, and the eldest sister is also straightforward¡ª¡ªfour thousand dollars will be enough. This well has not been used for many years, and dust and leaves have accumulated in it. I will call it again."  Someone will come to clean the well and fix the roof, so you can live here without worry.¡±

    Li Bochen was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't expect that it would only cost four thousand dollars¡ªhe originally thought he would get twenty to thirty thousand dollars.  It was just because she liked it and wanted to make Lady Meng feel that she really wanted to settle down, so she asked.  This price really tickles his heart, and he thinks that he already has three or seven hundred yuan, if he saves a little money on the way and then follows Qin Le's words and accepts the reward, wouldn't he really be able to take it?  !

    He sighed in his heart, and was thinking about how to say that he only rents and does not buy, but Lin Qiao said: "How can you talk about things like this? You go, go around the house, and I will talk to the elder sister."

    Li Bochen heaved a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said: "Okay, I won't be an eyesore here, so please speak slowly."

    Lady Meng laughed, and he hurried into the house.

    In the house, I counted the tables, chairs and benches one by one, and suddenly I heard Mrs. Meng say in the courtyard: "Ah, how did this happen? No, no, no, this is not possible!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
