Chapter 184

The next day.

The quiet morning light poured down, but the snoring one after another resounded throughout the yard. Xiao Chu and Xiao Danqing were seen lying on the chairs and falling asleep.

Mrs. Shen was also leaning slightly on the chair. She was in a daze when she was woken up by the sudden snoring of the two people. Suddenly, her face was dark and cold.

They actually sat in the yard and waited all day and night.

She was probably the first in-laws in history to wait all night for her daughter-in-law.

What a big joke.

With a dark face, Mrs. Shen was about to wake up Xiao Danqing, who was sleeping soundly, when he saw Mrs. Zhou standing nearby, instructing Butler Liu about buying a restaurant.

"Go to Feihongju and ask if the new shopkeeper is here. If he is, then you and he will finalize the purchase of the restaurant!" Mrs. Zhou ordered.

She has looked at them all, and Feihong Residence is the most suitable.

It's better to decide first, and wait for the village woman to decide the rest.

Butler Liu's eyes were a little surprised.

The Duke's military achievements were outstanding and unnecessary rumors were suppressed, so the Xiao family never engaged in business.

But after all, he was an old man in the mansion, so he immediately concealed all his emotions: "Old madam, what is the highest estimate of the price?"

Mrs. Zhou frowned slightly and said, "9 taels of silver!"

Butler Liu's eyes were shocked again, but he immediately accepted the order and left.

"Stay with Liu Guan's family!" Mrs. Shen came over quickly: "Mom, even if you want to buy a restaurant for that peasant woman, 9 taels is not a small sum, not to mention that Feihongju is worth 6 taels of silver at most. Could it be that you have been deliberately tricked? You must have been lied to!"

Luo Yuyan told her it was 8 taels, but now her mother is willing to pay a full 9 taels.

It's just crazy.

Butler Liu looked at Mrs. Zhou in surprise.

The Duke's wife did not hesitate to break the rules and spend such a large price to buy it for the young lady from the country.

In the decades he had been in the Duke's Mansion, this was the first time he saw the old lady being so caring.

Suddenly, Mrs. Zhou's face turned cold and she stared at Shen: "Fourth bedroom, you have to take care of me now, right?"

"Mom, I didn't mean it this way, but someone must have encouraged you to be so impulsive!"

"That's enough!" Old Mrs. Zhou suddenly scolded: "I just went out and forgot all the rules. I copied the "Female Commandments" and "Female Training" a hundred times each!"

Shen gritted his teeth.

"Don't go yet!" Mrs. Zhou swept over coldly.

Shen then pinched the hand under the cuff, turned around, passed by the sleeping Xiao Danqing, and pinched the flesh of his waist with two fingernails.

"what!"

Xiao Danqing suddenly jumped up in pain, and before he could shout out, he was dragged in by Mrs. Shen.

Feihongju.

"Hey!"

The shopkeeper sighed resentfully again.

8 taels is still a one-time settlement!

The more he thought about it these days, the more uncomfortable he became. How could he sign such a contract with that little farmer in a flash of his mind?

5000 taels per year for 15 years.

Although they ended up earning an extra 5000 taels, there are dozens of people in Lao Zhu's family, and they live in the capital. They can live on just 5000 taels a year, so if they want to buy something expensive, don't even think about it. .

But if 8 taels are given at once~

At this time, Manager Liu got off the carriage and came in, expressing his intention to shopkeeper Zhu.

Shopkeeper Zhu's eyes lit up immediately. He thought that this buyer would never come again. Now that he is here, there is no reason to let him go.

That's 8 million taels!
"I have already made an agreement with the buyer about this. If your old lady is willing to buy it, we will sell it! But the buyer is not in the capital these days. When he comes back, we will come to the door in person!" Shopkeeper Zhu said.

Butler Liu nodded and gave his address.

Shopkeeper Zhu’s eyes widened: “Yes, it’s the family of Zhenguo Gong Xiao!”

Butler Liu responded.

Shopkeeper Zhu was so frightened that he saluted repeatedly and respectfully sent Butler Liu away. Cold sweat broke out on his back.Fortunately, he didn't do anything stupid in front of the Duke's wife last time.

Otherwise, I'm afraid even dying a few times won't be enough.

"Shopkeeper, I haven't even seen that little farmer come back. When did he agree to this?" A waiter came over in confusion.

"Behead first and tell later, you know!" Shopkeeper Zhu was disgusted.

But the waiter opened his mouth: "So the little farmer didn't agree at all, but the shopkeeper agreed. It's the Duke's mansion. If you want them to know that you lied to them, then~"

Shopkeeper Zhu glanced sideways, scaring the waiter so much that he didn't dare to say anything.

He really didn't expect that the other party was the Duke's Mansion.

But it's too late to regret it now, not to mention that it was a full 8 taels, which was enough for him and his descendants to enjoy happiness.

In this case, we can only do this more carefully.

Shopkeeper Zhou waved, and the clerk hurried forward. Shopkeeper Zhou whispered a few words to him, and the clerk turned around.

Baihu Street.

The Lu family moved into their new house. The whole family woke up early and had breakfast.

Except Lu Xiaobao was still asleep.

I have slept for nearly a day and a night since I entered the city yesterday.

Bai Su was worried and came over to take a look.

He saw that Lu Xiaobao was sleeping very soundly, and there was a slight snore between his breaths. He was really sleepy.

However, anyone who has not slept for several days or nights will feel sleepy.

But he still held Xiaobai in his hands, and his little face was still tightly nestled on Xiaobai, who was so red from sleeping. He was simply the most adorable and well-behaved child in the world.

Bai Su looked at it, his eyes full of smiles, but when his eyes fell on Xiao Bai.

I saw Xiaobai lying on his back with his cat's eyes turned white, feeling hopeless.

Bai Su: "!!"

Xiao Hei was lying next to him, his tail waving gracefully.

Bai Su checked that there was nothing wrong, and then he tucked Xiaobao in with peace of mind. However, Lu Xiaobao laughed, not knowing what he was dreaming about, and then nibbled on Xiaobai's head.

Xiaobai, who was hopeless, suddenly trembled.

But saliva flowed from the corner of Lu Xiaobao's mouth and dripped on the top of the cat.

One drop!Two drops~

Xiaobai, who is hopeless, is cracked!
Bai Su smiled, closed the door and left, returning to the main room.

The Lu family is planning the events of the past two days. The top priority right now is the opening of the restaurant and the education of their three children.

Jiang Xiaoshu and Lu Xiaobao are not a problem.

Although the two of them could not enter the Imperial College to study, there were many private schools in the capital, and there were two on Baihu Street. They could just find a good one and study there.

It was Lu Xiaowan.

Because the capital city has the strictest rules and regulations in the entire Nanyue, women are not allowed to study at all.

"Sister, it doesn't matter if I don't study!" Lu Xiaowan said obediently.

Bai Su touched her head tenderly and said softly: "We have just arrived in the capital, let's take a look again!"

Lu Xiaowan nodded obediently.

At this time, Mr. Zhuang was looking at Mr. Zhuang who was standing outside the door of Lu's house with difficulty in speaking.

Last night, he thought that after the old man finished howling, the matter of accepting disciples would be over.Unexpectedly, the old man had been howling all night and was resurrected with full blood. He came to show his courtesy this morning and wanted to take the two boys of the Lu family to the Imperial College to study.

Trying to impress Miss Bai.

You must know that the Imperial College was opened by the emperor himself, and the rules are the strictest. Except for the children of third-rank officials and those who passed the joint examination, no one else can enter.

His father, as a priest in charge of the Imperial Academy, actually opened the back door secretly.

As an upright official, can he really pay it off?
