Chapter 118 Preparation

"Ahem, Master, I plan to rent a yard to live with Mrs. Zheng. Does Mrs. Zheng have any preferences? Do you have any requirements for your residence?"

Zhang Changzong's cheeks were flushed and his face was serious. Don't get me wrong. It's not that he was so shy that his face was flushed, and the blush on his face was pinched! Woo... Master Wan'er was so cruel, and he didn't love the young at all. The pinching of his face hurts so much that he wanted to try hard to put on a poker face. He really couldn't make any other expressions, and the muscles on his face hurt as soon as they moved.

Mingxiang was so heartless. Seeing his face like this, she actually laughed from time to time. Master Wan'er was the same. From time to time, she deliberately looked at his face with a thorny look with her admiring eyes. Her movements were exaggerated, for fear that Zhang Changzong would not notice that she was admiring her own masterpiece.

Is there true love in the world and true love in the world? Zhang Changzong felt that if he was watched like this, the tragedy of the master and apprentice's rebellion might happen—

The above is pure joke! He just yelled in his heart, and really made him break up with Master Wan'er's kindness... Hey, the weather is good today! Zhang Changzong dared not, and he couldn't bear to let it go! Well, it was so painful and happy to have a witch as his master.

Shangguan Wan'er looked at her masterpiece with a look of satisfaction. The curves on the corners of her lips were sweeter. She sighed: "I don't know. Besides, even if you have any preferences, you will be discarded after staying in a place like Yeting Palace for so many years. There is only one thing, just rent a quiet little yard, not too big, and not too close to the inner city. If it is better to be near your home, it is convenient for you to take care of. Then, buy two or three little girls and serve my mother for me. Don't let her work hard anymore. You can just save me in the morning and evening and be filial."

"Here! Then the disciple will think about it yourself?"

"But, you can do it. But, I'm a little more relaxed. My mother is old and can't afford some of your whimsical ideas."

Zhang Changzong's face turned red when he was said. It seemed that the essence of funny people was seen through by Master Wan'er. He quickly promised: "Don't worry, Master, I must take it seriously. Even if there are some things I don't understand, my mother will still be watching. By the way, Master, when will Mrs. Zheng leave the palace?"

Shangguan Wan'er was a little melancholy and said, "It will take three days at the earliest. Things like leaving the house are quite cumbersome, and there are many yamen that need to be alarmed, so be patient, etc."

Zhang Changzong thought, "Then I won't stay in the palace today. I'll go back first and ask my mother to ask if there is any free yard in our yard."

Shangguan Wan'er looked at him and nodded, "Okay, I'll entrust you to this, and I won't keep you anymore. You can arrange this first, and don't forget to practice your calligraphy. Next time you enter the palace, you will be checked."

"Here."

Zhang Changzong agreed, and as the sky was getting late, he couldn't get back before the curfew if he didn't leave the palace. Thinking of this, he hurriedly said goodbye to Shangguan Wan'er.

Before leaving, Master Wan'er ordered Mingxiang to carry out a wooden box and hand it to Zhang Changzong and said, "This is the jewelry I have used in previous years and the rewards I have accumulated over several years. They are all without internal marks. You can use it to find a craftsman to exchange for some money. The outside of the palace is not as old as in the palace, and my mother is older. I just hope that she can live a comfortable life outside the palace."

Zhang Changzong took it with him readily, without refusing. Master Wan'er thought it was clear what was going on in his family, so why bother to make Master Wan'er worry about it! Poor means poverty, nothing means nothing, and there is no need to deliberately conceal it.

Seeing Zhang Changzong happily picking up the box, Wan'er squinted her eyes and smiled happily, and couldn't help but reach out to pinch his face again. Zhang Changzong was so scared that he jumped away in three steps. Because he held the box with one hand, he had to cover his face with one hand: "Master, show mercy, disciples still want to see people!"

Shangguan Wan'er chuckled and said, "Go away quickly, don't be upset here anymore!"

Zhang Changzong bowed with a smile and said goodbye: "Master, take care of me, the disciple is gone, and I will come to the right yard to report."

Shangguan Wan'er nodded, waved goodbye to him, and stood at the door of the palace and watched his little apprentice's lively figure leave the palace until he couldn't even see the shadow before turning around.

Zhang Changzong returned home from the palace and immediately asked Wei Shi to report his Master Wan'er's request, and presented the property given by Shangguan Wan'er, asking Wei Shi to help find out what empty yards can be rented around.

Wei said: "How can we rent a good yard here? Even if there is one, it is dilapidated. How can we live in a place? Instead of renting it, I think it's better to buy a dilapidated yard and rebuild it, which is worse than renting it."

Zhang Changzong said: "But isn't the housing prices expensive? Besides, where can I find the right one for a while!"

Wei Shi glanced at him and said, "Old son, you are really not a worldly fireworks. If you want to buy a large yard like our family and Luo Dalang's next door, it will naturally cost a lot. If you buy a small yard with two or one, your master's property will be enough."

When Zhang Changzong heard her intention, his heart moved and immediately asked: "Listen to you, what is your opinion, is there such a small yard near our house?"

Wei said: "You forgot your second uncle's idle yard to the north of our house?"

Zhang Changzong suddenly realized—

Luo Dalang's family is located on the east side of his house, and it has a three-entry courtyard. In the capital, it is naturally not big compared to the mansions of the powerful, but the house where the Zhang Changzong family lives now is only that big.

If such a small courtyard is in Guanglufang and Xingdaofang generation, the Zhang family would never be able to afford it even if they had saved up for ten years without eating or drinking. However, if the Zhang family lived in a modern ring number, they would definitely live outside the Fourth Ring Road and near the Fifth Ring Road. Fortunately, they did not reach the Sixth Ring Road.

To the north of the Zhang family, there is a two-entry yard separated by a wall. It was the house of Zhang Lu's Hakka in the past. The second uncle lived there before. Later, the house was dilapidated and the number of servants increased, the small courtyard with two-entry yard could not be occupied, so the house was idle. The second uncle moved to Lifang where his official office was located and bought a new house.

If it is appropriate, this small yard is the most suitable, but the location is close, and there is no problem with the main frame of the house, such as tiles, walls, and yards that need to be cleaned and there are not many places that need to be moved. It is just suitable for Zhang Changzong, who is anxious to resettle the Zheng family. The only problem is that it is difficult to open.

The second uncle had no son, and Zhang Changzong had long seen what he wanted to adopt, but he had never mentioned it in the past two years. If he went to buy it, he would always feel a little unkind.

Zhang Changzong scratched his head and said, "My mother, let's forget about buying it. My son will go to the second uncle's mansion tomorrow and ask me to lend it to Mrs. Zheng for a while, so that my son can take care of me. When I grow up, if it is established, I will buy another yard and place Mrs. Zheng."

Wei gave Zhang Changzong a blank look, a little happy and a little sad about his unwillingness to take advantage of him. This silly child would not take advantage of him even if he had a advantage! However, he said, "It's better to go and go back quickly, and help you find a craftsman to do your job, so as not to catch up with your Mrs. Zheng leaving the palace."

"Well, don't worry, my mom, get up early tomorrow morning and my son will go to visit my second uncle."

The mother and son agreed to rest.
