Zidi Lane is located in the bustling area in the center of Kyoto. Xiaoxiao first saw the moat of the palace through the car window. In modern times, this place belongs to the extremely luxurious Jingyi Ring Road area.

Xiaoxiao and Ruicai took the Tang family carriage. Ruicai's two cousins ​​sat in their own carriages and walked from Maicao Bay to the center of Kyoto. All kinds of wild vegetables were packed into five or six small baskets. Many of the girls of Ruicai were brought from their hometowns, and they were particularly skillful in digging up wild vegetables.

"My father tried his best to buy the best house in the city! Most of the people living in Fengxiao Lane are Beijing officials, and I really can't find a way, so I supported someone to pick it up in Zidi Lane." Ruicai's expression was not happy, and he was a little regretful: "If I had known it, it would be better to learn to build your house in the suburbs of the city. A small two-in-a-sized yard in Zidi Lane could buy a large garden in the suburbs!"

That's right, you can buy a house with the money from Jingyixing to Tongzhou. You can also build a few villas.

"The prices here are expensive. Two Shaobings can eat a basket of beef and roasted pork on Sufeng Street and a bowl of hot soup!" Ruicai counted the inconvenience of living here one by one. "I dare not set up a market here, for fear of quarreling the empresses in the palace, so I can set off a cannon during the Chinese New Year and pinch it a little. The curfew is early at night. Before the hour is coming, there is no one in the whole alley. Like outside your city, there is no clamor. You can go to Maicao Bay to digest food after dinner."

"I haven't been there before, it's a bit far away."

Ruicai couldn't stop talking: "The merchants who made some money in those years were crowded here to buy houses. What's the best place? As a result, my acquaintances were all over the alley. My family was the Li family, the former neighbor was the Zhu family, and we helped her to study! The latter neighbor was the Dantai family, and the Dantai Furong family!"

Oh, it turns out that the information in the name of Ni Jie Zhu. Ruicai's words was too large, and they filtered it one by one: "Dan Tai family, was it the one you attended the Furong Banquet last time?" I heard that the young master of the Dan Tai family had some interest in Ruicai at the banquet.

Ruicai did not show any special expression: "This small house cannot accommodate Furong Banquet. It is the villa in the eastern suburbs. It is also a large place and has pavilions and towers." As he said that, he laughed again: "Speaking of it, there is still a lawsuit between the Dantai family and your family. No wonder Dantai Furong always has a cold face when she sees you."

"Who is Dan Tai Furong?"

Ruicai:… “It’s the one in our class, whose name is Hehua, and who is tall.”

"Who is Hohua? I didn't pay much attention."

"You are sometimes more confused than me," Ruicai couldn't help laughing, "Hohua was sitting next to me."

Xiaoxiao didn't pay much attention to this person: "I knew there was you, a Nijie, and a Xizi in our class."

Ruicai's face was filled with gossip: "The second girl from the Dan Tai family almost told you to the second master of the Tang family."

"My second brother?" Xiaoxiao suddenly stopped listening. No wonder Ruicai used the word "subject" just now. It seems that there is a story here.

"I don't know if it's true, but people are talking about it anyway," Ruicai picked up the glass cup and drank a large sip of flat water tea, and said, "The tea in your car is so delicious." Seeing Xiaoxiao urging her, she said, "The second girl in the Dantai family is much more beautiful than her sister Hehua. She is a famous beauty in our business. I heard that people are quite proud. It is said that they made an appointment to meet at the Jin family. As a result, your second brother overslept, and he went with a cool mat on his face."

Xiaoxiao was embarrassed when he heard it, it was like what his second brother did.

"It made the nose of the beauty of Dan Tai crooked. This matter was not a rude thing or a mistake, and she said the wrong thing and did the wrong thing. She just had a cool mat on her face. The Dan Tai family was not going to have a breakup. This time, she called several girls of your age.

The two were chatting when the carriage stopped. Ruicai lifted the curtain and saw: "We're at my house! Let's get off!"

The Wei family is smaller than Xiaoxiao imagined. With four-entry yards, except for the outer yard and the backyard, there are only two inner families who can live in. The old lady of the Wei family lives in the second yard, and the Ruicai family lives in the third yard. Xiaoxiao is used to seeing the five large yards in the main room of Zhuliguan. Now, looking at three more rooms, it only feels narrow.

After entering the Wei family, I realized how lively this family was: Ruicai's two uncles also came out of their hometown and worked in a silk-producing business with their brother. There were five or six boys in the family, all living in an outer courtyard. Ruicai's third uncle and his family lived in the same yard as the old lady, while the second uncle and his family sold silk in another place, leaving only two daughters in Kyoto to go to school, which means saving colors to change colors. Now these two girls and Ruicai's family are crowded in the same yard.

"My mother has been urging my father to buy a bigger house, but he always says he will save more and expand his business and get a luxury house in one step." Ruicai's words were not without complaints.

Xiaoxiao looked at the two pomegranate trees in front of the house and said, "I think it's so close to the whole family living together, and it's also lively. The old man is happy all day long."

This sentence came into the heart of Mrs. Wei. The old lady held Xiaoxiao's hand and looked at it for a long time: "This daughter looks so beautiful, what does the family do?"

"It's just a business of weaving cloth and silk." said Xiaoxiao.

"Oh, can we connect with our business to Mao'er?" The third aunt of Ruicai spoke, with thin eyebrows and dwarfed eyes and smart: "Can Miss Tang weave silk cotton at home? If you use cooked silk, take it from my Wei family."

"I don't know much about business." Xiaoxiao couldn't do this. My father had been doing business for so many years, and the suppliers must be fixed. When he talked about business, he smiled and said, "When my mother came, she reminded me that she should bring some decent gifts for the first time when she came to the door. She just weaved silk at home, so she brought four pieces of silk woven from her home..."

Before Xiaoxiao finished speaking, the third wife of the Wei family grinned and said, "It's just a little girl's family, Miss Tang is so polite!" As she said that, she greeted the girl with a grin and said, "Miss Tang's intentions are presented to us to open our eyes!"
