The next day, Xiang Nan returned to school.
"Yanxi, you went to the doctor yesterday. What disease did you diagnose? Did you get injured last time and you haven''t recovered yet?" Leng Qingqiu asked with concern.
"The doctor said that my heart pulse is damaged. Once I get too excited, my blood will flow backwards and I will vomit blood." Xiang Nan lied, "But don''t worry, I''m taking medicine now and I''ll be fine."
"It''s all because of me. I caused you trouble. I shouldn''t have lost my temper at you yesterday." Leng Qingqiu heard what he said, his eyes suddenly reddened, and he choked.
?Although she didn’t know much, she also knew how difficult it was to treat hematemesis.
??Had Xiang Nan not protected her that day, how could he have been beaten so badly that his heart was damaged. She didn''t hit Xiang Nan yesterday, and it wouldn''t have caused his old problem. She really owed him a lot.
"Don''t say that. Life and death are destiny, wealth is in heaven." Xiang Nan comforted her and said, "Please don''t cry. I''m also sad to see you cry."
“Okay, okay, I won’t cry, nothing will happen to you.” Seeing this, Leng Qingqiu quickly wiped his tears.
"Well, let me tell you some good news." Xiang Nan added, "I''m going to rent a secluded courtyard near your home. It will be much more convenient for you and me to meet each other then."
"It''s disgusting. People are still worried about your health, but you always think about these obscene things." Leng Qingqiu blushed and spat.
"How can it be obscene? Confucius said that food and **** are the nature of food. It is human nature to be lustful and admire Shaoai." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "Besides, I just want to see you more. It''s all out of a sincere heart." Pure heart.”
"That''s it, I wrongly blamed you again." Leng Qingqiu pursed his lips and smiled, "But don''t get too close. Otherwise, it will be embarrassing if the neighbors see you."
"That makes sense, but I forgot about it." Xiang Nan nodded, "She is a girl after all, and she is careful after all."
…
?Two days later, Jin Rong rented a small courtyard in Yangjiao Hutong, two miles away from Luohua Hutong.
The courtyard is not big, but it has a good layout. There are three main rooms and two side rooms on the left and right. One of the courtyards is planted with flowers and plants. Although the house is an old one, it was renovated last year, so it is still considered new.
The key is that the location is excellent and it is quiet in the midst of the hustle and bustle. Although it is next to the downtown area, it is not noisy. In this way, Leng Qingqiu''s frequent visits would not make him stand out.
After Xiang Nan saw it, he felt very satisfied, so he signed a contract and rented the small courtyard at a monthly rent of fifty yuan.
After leasing it, Xiang Nan did not move in immediately, but asked Jin Rong to renovate it. Masons, decorators, and painters renovated the inside and outside of the house, and installed electric wires, lights, and telephones...
"This house is already very good, why bother with it?" After the house was rented, Leng Qingqiu came to see it and saw that Xiang Nan still wanted to decorate it, so he couldn''t help but said with a smile.
"There is a saying in the ancient books that the golden house hides the beauty. I am not as capable as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. I can''t build the golden house, so I can only try my best to tidy up this small courtyard." Xiang Nan said with a smile.
“Hmph, you really treat me as an outsider.” Seeing what he said, Leng Qingqiu couldn’t help but sigh.
The status of an auxiliary wife is lower than that of a concubine. A concubine has the lowest status compared to the head wife, but she still has a reputation. However, the outer chamber does not even have a title and is not recognized at all.
"It''s just a temporary expedient." Seeing this, Xiang Nan quickly comforted her, "If I didn''t want to be responsible for you, why would I have to do so much work? Renting a house, decorating, furnishing... nothing costs money and energy. "
Leng Qingqiu just heard what he said.
…
A week later, the house decoration was completed.
?The roof tiles have been re-paved, the courtyard floor tiles have been renovated, and the three main rooms and two side rooms have all been freshly painted and decorated brightly.
The house is furnished with exquisite woodware, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and is very elegant. It''s a pity that it''s almost winter and the flowers and trees are withered, otherwise it would be a little more exquisite.
“Master Qi, do you think this is okay?” Jin Rong asked Xiang Nandao with a smile. "It''s okay, barely usable." Xiang Nan nodded.
"Your requirements are really high. If a house like this is acceptable, our house will be a thatched house." Leng Qingqiu said with a smile.
"The mountains are not high, but immortals are famous. The water is not deep, but dragons are spiritual. This is a humble house, but it is virtuous and warm." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Although your house is simple, it makes a big difference with you. "
Seeing him say this, Leng Qingqiu pursed his lips and smiled.
"Okay, Jin Rong, from now on Qingqiu will be the seventh young mistress." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "When you see her, you are the same as when you see me. You must be respectful."
“Yes, the seventh young master and the seventh young mistress.” Jin Rong immediately smiled.
Leng Qingqiu couldn''t help but blush when he heard this.
"By the way, Seventh Young Master and Seventh Young Mistress, do you want two servants to serve this house?" Jin Rong said again.
"No need, we only come here occasionally." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "There is no need for anyone to wait on you all the time."
The reason why he wanted to rent a house outside was because of the need for confidentiality. If we hire more servants, wouldn''t it be unnecessary? After all, there is no airtight wall in the world. The fewer people know, the harder it is to leak the secret.
“Yes, Young Master Seven.” Jin Rong nodded.
…
After a period of time, this small courtyard became a meeting place for Xiang Nan and Leng Qingqiu.
The two will agree on a time at school, and then go to the small courtyard together for a tryst.
Because Leng Qingqiu is now a college student, the time after school is not fixed every day, so it doesn''t matter if he goes back an hour earlier or an hour later.
As for Xiang Nan, time is more free.
For a young master like him, being able to go home every night is already very good.
?It is common for people like Jin Fengju, Jin Pengzhen, Meng Jizu, Wang Youchun and others to not go home to sleep for several days or weeks.
"It''s almost the New Year''s Eve, take these five hundred oceans." Xiang Nan handed the five bags of cash to Leng Qingqiudao.
?It is already the twelfth lunar month, and it will soon be the first lunar month. Xiang Nan knew that Leng Qingqiu''s family was poor and the new year was not going well, so he went out of his way to help.
"What are you doing, are you really treating me like an outsider?" Leng Qingqiu said with a straight face when he saw this.
She and Xiang Nan are still in love despite being secretive. Since it was a love affair, she couldn''t accept Xiang Nan''s money. Otherwise, she will really become the girl in the alley.
"Don''t get me wrong, my money is your money, why should you tell me so clearly?" Xiang Nan said.
“That’s not okay, there’s no reason to charge you money.” Leng Qingqiu still refused.
Seeing this, Xiang Nan didn''t say anything more, "In that case, it''s better to teach him to fish than to teach him to fish. I''ll teach you how to write novels and make money with your own talents. You won''t refuse anymore, right?"
Seeing what he said, Leng Qingqiu thought about it carefully and nodded.
She didn''t want to spend Xiang Nan''s money for no reason, but making money on her own was different.
