Chapter 400: The big fish was caught and stewed.
Yan Zheqing didn't expect it to be done so quickly, and naturally he didn't expect to repair it immediately.
Therefore, the time for the craftsmen to enter the house was not set immediately. He and Grandma Yan’s idea was that Chu Chu would have to come over tomorrow to find out what was wrong with the house. If it could be solved, solve it first, and then look at the old calendar to determine the date. Not too late.
Finally, it was time for dinner, and the general wouldn't let them leave.
The three old men also had a good meal at General Qi's mansion. They became brothers at the wine table and became old friends who talked about everything.
Even though grandpa didn't come home, Chu Chu also knew about this good thing in the evening.
Because Grandpa Yan couldn't be waited for during dinner at Fulu Garden, Zimo also made a special trip to talk about the old man being retained. Seeing that there was no way to hide the matter, Grandma Yan was forced to talk about buying a house.
Others were not surprised, Li Yan and her husband knew it well.
But the old lady took the blame: "Why didn't you tell your sister about such a big thing? Let's put it all together and buy something close to us. It will make travel easier in the future. Isn't it better to buy something close to the inner city?"
It is difficult to buy a house in the inner city. Generally, it can only be rewarded by the emperor, or allocated by the yamen according to rank. It is not required by the court officials to attend the morning court, so the chance of buying it is extremely small.
Occasionally, there are some that can be sold, and the price is also very high, which is very different from that in the outer city.
"Old madam, don't blame us. It turns out that we also want to say that if we stay in the capital after the fourth child's results are out, we can go to Yaren and buy a small house in a convenient place.
So we are in no hurry.
Yesterday, it wasn't just Chu Chu who said so much about that house that the old man was thinking about it! Who would have thought that the results would come out today? Besides, it was the old man who did all the talking yesterday, not the girl.
The main reason is that the house is big enough, and the location is not too far away from us. It is only four or five miles away from here, which is more than enough for a family to live in. Even I was moved.
It turns out that it was said that the result would be available in three days. You see, General Qi rushed over to go through the formalities before I even had time to tell you. Otherwise, we would have wanted to tell you tonight when we have dinner together. "
It was already late when they came back from the spring outing last night, and they didn't have dinner together. It made sense for Grandma Yan to say so, and she also knew that they didn't want to trouble the Shunguo Duke's mansion.
Mainly because Grandma Yan didn't expect that Li Yan didn't reveal anything to the old lady.
Grandma Yan looked at Li Yan sheepishly, and added: "Besides, Yan'er was also together yesterday. I think she knows the cause and effect. Now Duke Shun also knows about it, right?"
Seeing her son and daughter-in-law nodding towards her, the old lady no longer meant to blame.
Yesterday, a group of people went there with noisy sounds. The old lady had actually seen them, but she thought they were stopping by General Qi's mansion to play, so she didn't ask anything.
If she had known about this incident, her daughter-in-law would not have let her enter the house.
Hearing that it was Chu Chu who said "yes", the old lady changed her tone and questioned Chu Chu: "Chu Chu, can that strange sound be removed?"
Although the house is nice, if the sound cannot be removed, I will always feel uncomfortable. The main reason is that the neighbors will not dare to step in, and it will be even worse if it spreads out.
"Just dig up the wellhead and catch the fish monster."
Chu Chu's tender and delicate little face swayed again, with two little braids, making her look eccentric, but still so cute.
"Chu Chu is saying that there are only big fish in the well? That's too big! Otherwise, why would it make such a loud noise?"
"It's only as big as my little brother. The main reason is that the mouth of the well is too small and the well is too deep, so it takes a long time for the sound to reach the top."
Chu Chu's explanation left them all speechless. Who would have thought that big fish could come out of this deep well?
Could this well be dug to connect with the Dajing River outside? Otherwise, why would such a big fish appear for no reason?
According to Chu Chu's description, this fish must weigh several dozen kilograms.
Yan Yuge rolled his eyes and thought, don't compare me with the fish monster if you want to. My sister is really annoying. She has never been like this to her elder brother. It is obvious that the two of them are almost exactly the same in stature. Why don't they say they are like the elder brother? ? What a leaky little cotton-padded jacket.
Grandma Yan suddenly realized: "No wonder, no wonder, last night Zimo and Dunzi made a special trip to lift the manhole cover and stay there for half the night. The voice didn't sound like a woman's, but sounded a bit like a baby's. Like, and when it reaches the mouth of the well, it becomes buzzing, and the sound can be carried far away."
In the end, Grandma Yan knew that she had lost her words and quickly covered her mouth, and explained in embarrassment: "It's not that I don't believe in Fubao, but I'm actually a little taboo about the sound, so I asked them to go secretly at night, but it was the old man who said That’s the final word.”
Although Grandma Yan pushed everything on Grandpa Yan, they could understand her thoughts. After all, buying a house in the capital was not an easy task, and it was impossible without serious consideration.
The old lady tilted her body forward slightly, and finally lowered herself down again. The expression on her face after hearing what had just happened finally dropped. She adjusted her clothes again, sat down, and suddenly became even and stable again.
After all, she was also worried about the Yan family, and she definitely wanted them to live in a good house, otherwise there would not have been such a movement.
"I knew that Chu Chu's promise would never be bad."
She looked like it was natural. If she didn't know her mother-in-law, Li Yan would have thought that the worried look just now was not the old lady.
Turning to Duke Shun again, the old lady continued: "Mr. Duke, if you have nothing to do tomorrow at court, you can take the craftsman to have a look. Catch the fish monster and stew it first. It is better not to build the wellhead any higher. Keep it low, don't raise a few fish monsters in a few years and have to dig out the well mouth again."
The grandma on the side became nervous again when she heard this. She quickly grabbed the old lady's hand and said, "How about we stop eating this fish? Can we take it to the Dajing River and release it?"
She was a little taboo to begin with, but when the old lady said it was a fish monster, she became even more uneasy. Even if it was stewed, she wouldn't eat it, and she was worried that eating it would cause misfortune.
"I'm just talking casually, why are you in such a hurry? Haha, Mr. Guo, if you catch them, put them in a big tank. I will release them with your aunt another day."
I know that Grandma Yan is afraid, but the old lady is not afraid, but after all, they are all kind-hearted. They usually go out to release carp, so they follow Grandma Yan's wishes and want to eat fish. There are many fish on the street, and Not missing those few bites.
When Duke Shun Guo heard this, he felt relieved, otherwise he would still be thinking about whether this house could be lived in!
