Chapter 274 : There's a shrew at home

Xiao Yun walked into the gate under Ru Zhongbai's leadership. As soon as he entered the door, the two servants hurriedly put on two cups of tea. Their effect was so fast that it was even more flexible than the waiters of the five-star hotel in the 21st century. Xiao Yun was shocked: "Damn, look at the skillful hands and feet of the people, you can see that the hostess of this house is extraordinary?"

Xiao Yun and Ru Zhongbai are not very familiar with each other on weekdays, and they hardly met each other. If Tuotuo had not named him today, he would have to wait for the sword in front of the imperial court to fight tomorrow. It is rare that he was invited into the mansion today. He couldn't help but be curious and began to look around. He saw that the whole mansion was much more magnificent than outside. He was facing a hardwood eight-immortal table and a chair with a rosewood Grand Master. The table had four treasures of speech room: paper, pen, ink, ink, rice paper, Duan ink, Hu pen, Hui ink, "Tongjian", astronomy, geography, Ou, Yan, Liu, Yan, and Zhao celebrity copybooks. There were many famous calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, most of which Xiao Yun didn't know.

But Xiao Yun knew that he had not known many calligraphy and paintings, but he only knew the bamboos of Zheng Banqiao, Xu Beihong's horses, and Qi Baishi's shrimps. The Zhao "Qihua's Autumn Colors" in front of him was painted by Zhao Mengfu. He could recognize this calligraphy and painting by Fu, or at the time of college, he accompanied a few people to Huzhou. Huzhou is Zhao Mengfu's hometown, and he saw this calligraphy and painting everywhere. On the vast river swamp, in the distance, on the horizon, there were two mountains, with two peaks protruding to the right, the sharp one was "Huabuzhu Mountain", and the flat top on the left was "Queshan". Xiao Yun only glanced at it and realized the owner of the calligraphy and painting.

However, a second-rank official of the Yuan Dynasty had a Han calligraphy and painting hanging at his home, which was a bit funny.

Xiao Yun looked at it for a while, but felt that there were many famous calligraphy and paintings in his family. Although he didn't know him, he was also surprised to see it. He thought, "Damn, this is a real product? Any one that has been eaten and drunk for the 21st century has been enough for a lifetime? It's a waste to hang it here?" After looking at it for a while, he gradually moved from the calligraphy and paintings. Looking down on the left side of the calligraphy and paintings, the entire hall was mostly filled with flowers, various foreign flowers, combined with coral bonsai, tourmaline wine pottery, wind-ground copper golden bells, jadeite, a clock, a quarter of an hour, a watch, a watch for the boy, a watch for the boy, a watch for the boy, a watch for the boy, a watch for the boy, a watch for the boy, a watch for the boy, a watch for the boy, a watch for the boy, a watch for the boy, a watch for the boy, a watch for the boy, a watch for the boy, a watch for the boy, a watch for the boy, a watch for the boy, a watch for the boy, a watch for the boy, a watch for the boy, a watch for the boy, a watch for the boy, a watch for the boy, a watch for the boy, a watch for the boy, a watch for the boy, a watch for the boy, a watch for the boy, a watch for the boy, a watch for the boy, a watch for the boy, a watch for the boy, a watch for the boy, a watch for the boy, a watch for the boy, a watch for the boy, a watch for the boy, a watch for the boy, a watch for the boy, a watch for the boy, a watch for the boy, a watch for the boy, a watch for the boy, a watch for the boy, a watch for the boy, a watch for the boy, a watch for the boy, a watch for the boy, a watch for the boy, a watch for the boy, a watch for the boy, a watch for the boy, a watch for the boy, a watch for the boy, a watch for the boy, a watch for the boy, a watch for the boy, a watch for

Xiao Yun was still admiring, but Ru Zhongbai was sitting restless. Xiao Yun looked at his expression and couldn't help but feel a little worried. Hedong lions are not that scary. Look at Louis Koo and Cecilia Cheung's "Hedong Lion Roar" handsome man and beautiful woman. How warm the world of the two is like you? He hurriedly joked: "Sir, my sister-in-law is just a woman. Dan Jingling will not be too reckless. Besides, the officials accompanied the adults back home. I guess my sister-in-law will not punish the adults too much. Don't worry!"

Unexpectedly, after hearing Xiao Yun's words, Ru Zhongbai sighed and said, "My Lord Xiao, I'm not hiding it. Although my wife is fierce, she is not a rude and unreasonable person. Today, with Lord Xiao accompanying her back home, I am not afraid, just...?"

When Xiao Yun heard that he was not afraid of his wife, he felt a little confused. When he saw him talking hesitantly, he couldn't help but become more suspicious. He snatched the words and said, "It's just what..."

Ru Zhongbai looked around nervously, and saw that there was no servant in front of the hall. He just let out a sigh, leaned over his face and leaned against Xiao Yun's ear and whispered: "I'm really afraid of laughing at my colleagues?"

Xiao Yun was stunned and said in confusion: "What do you say to me, sir!"

Ru Zhongbai's face turned red and he whispered: "Mr. Xiao is his family. I can trust you, but I can't tell you if you listen to it."

Xiao Yun revealed that clouds and mist were everywhere. He heard Ru Zhongbai's speech mysteriously, and he wanted to pour out all the words in his stomach, but it didn't work after all. He could only listen patiently and listened to Ru Zhongbai continued to lower his voice: "My wife hasn't been wrong recently. She was very active at night and she sang every night. She only gave it once that night, and her face turned almost green the next day. For this, I had no choice but to...hehe...?"

Xiao Yun was interesting to hear, afraid that as soon as he spoke, he interrupted Ru Zhongbai's courage to continue speaking. He did not say a word, but only gave him an expression to continue speaking.

Seeing that Xiao Yun did not answer, Ru Zhongbai continued, "Every night, the voice was a little louder. My wife, Lord Xiao, you don't know. When I encountered this, I was extremely excited. The sound of moaning made my neighbors so anxious that I couldn't live a peaceful life. The next day I complained to me. After a while, this matter was discovered by my colleagues next door. When I met me, I would be ridiculed. So now, I am very scared. Today I want Lord Xiao to talk to me. So that my wife can rest early and give my colleagues a rest space?"

After listening for a while, Xiao Yun suddenly realized and said to himself: "Damn, I don't have a lion roar in Hedong, but a vampire? Is this a waste of my life?"

In ancient China, it was based on farming, so rulers of all dynasties attached great importance to land. Those who could not occupy land should try not to occupy it. Therefore, there was a strange constraint in ancient times, that is, not to allow officials to buy houses.

This regulation was approximately shortly after the founding of the Western Han Dynasty, when Liu Bang's wife, Empress Dowager Lu, was in power, the court issued the following regulations: "If you want to buy a house better, don't allow it." ("Two-year Law Rule") clearly stipulates that officials are not allowed to buy houses. This regulation has been used by all dynasties. During the Tang Dynasty, it was even more: "The counties in the world should have land and house industries, so they have already bought and sold in their neighbors first." If you want to buy a house, please ask if your neighbor Wang or your neighbor Zhao is willing to buy it. If you encounter such a good opportunity, you can sell your house. If you can't buy a good house, you will be accused of forgetting to buy a house and staying here for the rest of your life, right? In fact, this regulation that is more difficult to win than a lottery is very unlikely. Because of this, housing transactions in the Tang Dynasty were also very rare.

Although the Yuan Dynasty was a Mongolian Tartar, it also valued land. Kublai Khan clearly stipulated that if officials wanted to buy a house, it was invalid to ask for the consent of relatives and neighbors verbally, and they had to set up a "question account" to let the tribe and neighbors sign it one by one. Everyone agreed that you could sell the house before you could sell it. This is the case. Most officials in the Yuan Dynasty did not have any extra money to buy a house. The tax revenue of the Yuan Dynasty was low, so the salary of the officials was not high, and most officials did not have any extra money.

Ru Zhongbai's mansion is located west of the Golden Palace in Dadu. They are all colleagues from the court. When the two passed by the two worlds at night, the sound was loud. Naturally, the neighbors heard it real. When they laughed at night, they would inevitably ridicule them when they met the next morning. Ru Zhongbai was a second-rank official in the court. He felt embarrassed by his colleagues and gradually became afraid of the request of the Hedong Lion at home.

As the two were talking, they suddenly heard the sound of footsteps on the left. Before they could listen carefully, their intuition lit up. Under the curtain on the right, a woman in her 20s and 28 years old carried a hardwood washboard and walked out of the right wing room fiercely. The woman was wearing a light green blue-haired cotton jacket, a colorful silk-carved blue silver mouse jacket, and a jade-scattered crepe skirt. The skirt was tied with a bean-green palace belt, a double-facing rose pendant, a white skin as snow, a pair of red phoenix triangular eyes, two bends of willow leaves hanging eyebrows, and a slim figure, which was quite like a jadeite in the Jiangnan family. It was just a pair of bright eyes, flashing this cunning light, revealing this kind of shrewdness and fierceness.

Xiao Yun saw that there was a beautiful woman in the north, peerless and independent. He looked at the city and the country. He felt that he thought to himself: "Damn it, I can't tell that you Zhongbai has such a blessed fortune, which is really enviable?"

"Ru Zhongbai, where have you been here today? Why did you come back so late? I brought someone back? Have you been hiding there again? "The man stood in front of the curtain, staring at Xiao Yun with a pair of beautiful eyebrows, and then looked at Ru Zhongbai with fierce eyes and asked.

Ru Zhongbai shrank his neck, laughed dryly at Xiao Yun, then activated his lips and said timidly: "Madam, please listen to me first..."
