Fortunate Young Gentleman

Chapter 44: Settling in the State City

The house Tangning chose was not far from the Zhong Mansion and the county government office.

The two-in courtyard was a bit big for Su Ru to live alone. Tang Ning actually wanted her third uncle and third aunt to move to the city and live with her.

Firstly, it was to take care of each other, and secondly, because for so many years, if it weren't for their help, he and Xiaoru would have had a much harder life, and now it was time to repay them.

"Brother Xiao Ning, this, this can't be done..." After knowing Tang Ning's thoughts, Su Ru became a little anxious and said, "I, I just live in the village. Where did you get so much money..."

Tangning shook her head and said, "Don't worry about this..."

"Brother Xiao Ning!" Su Ru stamped her feet, tears flashing in her eyes.

Tang Ning knew that although she was weak-tempered, she also had her own perseverance. He looked at Tang Yaoyao who came out of the Zhong Mansion and said, "The money to buy the house was borrowed from this Miss Tang, and I have to pay it back to her in the future." of."

Tang Ning looked at Tang Yaoyao and asked, "Did you bring the IOU?"

Tang Yaoyao nodded and took out a note from his sleeve.

Tang Ning glanced at Tang Yaoyao twice. She actually had the IOU with her?

Two days ago, she said that if it was not enough, she would ask her to borrow it again, and there was no need to pay it back...

Although Su Ru has never read a book and does not know many words, she can still understand these simple sentences.

The anxious look on her face eased slightly, she looked at Tang Ning, shook her head and said, "Brother Ning, let's not waste this money..."

"Be obedient." Tangning looked at her with a straight face and said, "It's convenient for me to take care of you when you move to the city. At most, we can work together to pay back the money."

Su Ru looked at Tang Ning. After hesitating for a moment, she nodded and said, "Then let's do it together..."

Tang Ning returned the IOU to Tang Yaoyao, and she ran away quickly.

She always felt guilty in front of Su Ru.

With Peng Chen here, holding on to his father-in-law's skin, although all the procedures for buying a house were given the green light, the steps were indispensable. Peng Chen had someone arrange it, and Tang Ning took Su Ru back to Zhong Mansion first.

Qing'er was putting thin slices of cucumber on her face. Not only her, but also the maids of the Zhong Mansion each had a few slices of cucumber.

Not to mention Su Ru, even Tangning was shocked.

Su Shan's face was full of surprise. It turns out that this is the life of a wealthy family. They don't eat cucumbers, but they waste it like this...

Chen Yuxian came out and saw Su Ru. After being stunned, he immediately walked forward and said happily: "Miss Xiao Ru is here, have you had dinner..."

Su Shan rubbed his belly and said, "Not yet."

Su Ru was a little embarrassed and whispered: "Third uncle..."

"We are all one family, no need to see anyone outside." Chen Yuxian smiled and said, "Qing'er, go tell the kitchen to make some more food and deliver it over as soon as possible..."

Tang Ning breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, her mother-in-law and Zhong Yi were more normal, unlike those maids who had never seen the world and resisted the temptation to fight wrinkles and whiten their skin.

Chen Yuxian walked into the room, turned around and said to Qing'er: "By the way, tell them that there is no need to bring the sliced ​​cucumbers..."

Da Huan Dan is really a good thing. Su Ru's complexion is obviously much better than yesterday.

Her mother-in-law was even more enthusiastic towards her than Tang Ning. She invited her to move to the Zhong Mansion several times, but she politely refused.

She held Su Ru's hand and said, "If you encounter any difficulties here from now on, just tell your aunt and never see anyone outside..."

Su Ru nodded and said, "Auntie, I understand."

They moved as soon as they were told. Tangning was worried that if she didn't move today, she would come here again like this tomorrow.

Peng Chen drove a carriage himself, found two servants from the Yamen, and found another carriage. He left the city and went straight to Sujia Village.

They didn't have much to move, and the reason they used two carriages was because the other carriage was filled with gifts.

Sujia Village is not big, with only about twenty households in total.

About half of the money she borrowed from Tang Yaoyao was spent on buying a house. It wouldn't take much to purchase furniture afterwards. Tang Ning spent about twenty taels on preparing gifts for every household in Sujia Village.

Most of them are rice, flour, grain, oil, cloth, etc., as well as two whole fans of pork.

The villagers have simple hearts. Over the years, the two of them have received many favors from others, and these are just small gifts of thanks.

Sujia Village is not big. From the east end of the village to the west end, just one shout is enough.

"I'm going to Su Shan's house to get rice, noodles and meat!"

After the head of the village gave an energetic shout, the whole village began to boil in a short period of time.

The third aunt looked distressed and muttered: "Why are you giving away things for no reason?"

"Neighbors help each other, isn't it great..." Su Shan has seen the generosity of wealthy families today. Although two slices of pork and a lot of rice and noodles will soon be gone, he feels distressed. In front of you, you still have to show some appearance of seeing the world.

"To help each other?" Third Aunt Zhao looked at him and asked, "Then tell me, why are Widow Qi and you helping each other? You can just give it to others, so why give it to her?"

"Xiao Ning said this." Su Shan said seriously: "I didn't say it."

Zhao finally calmed down and asked, "How much did it cost to buy these things?"

Su Shan scratched his head and said, "About twenty taels..."

Zhao's chest began to feel uneasy again.

She picked up the broom and hit Su Shan, cursing: "Are you stupid? Xiao Ning is making trouble, so you follow her. Do you know how much 20 taels of silver is? Xiao Ru and I can't make 20 taels of silver in a year of weaving..."

Tang Ning finally squeezed out from a group of enthusiastic villagers, walked up to the two of them, and said: "Uncle San, Aunt San, you and Xiao Ru should move to the city together."

Su Shan opened his mouth and asked in surprise: "We are moving too?"

Tang Ning nodded Nodding, he said, "Xiao Ru usually lives alone in that house, I'm a little worried..."

Su Shan hesitated: "But what about the land at home..."

Zhao raised her broom again and said angrily: "You are useless, and you still think about those two pieces of broken land. For those two pieces of broken land, you work hard every year, and in the end, we can't even eat enough. When you go to the state capital, it's better to do anything than farming..."

Under the "persuasion" of the third aunt, the third uncle quickly agreed to move to the city together.

Today, we just moved things simply. There are still trivial things like buying furniture next, so we don't have to be so anxious.

The courtyard has two entrances. Su Ru lives in the inner courtyard. The third uncle and the third aunt chose a house in the outer courtyard. The inner and outer courtyards are separated by a partition wall.

It was getting dark. Tang Ning walked into the yard and said, "It's getting late. I'll go back first. I'm tired today. You guys should rest early. I'll come back tomorrow."

Uncle San didn't care about his two plots of land anymore. He walked into the yard and asked in disbelief, "Are we going to live here in the future?"

Tang Ning smiled and waved, "See you tomorrow."

Su Ru sent him outside and said, "It's getting dark. Brother Ning, please walk slowly."

Tang Ning turned around and smiled, "It's just a few steps away. It's okay. Go back quickly..."

When Su Ru walked back to the yard, Aunt San came over, looked at her, and asked hesitantly, "Xiao Ru, although you don't have an engagement, everyone has known since you were young that Xiao Ning will marry you in the future. Now..."

Su Ru shook her head and said, "I've already inquired about it. Sister Zhong was forced to marry by that evil governor. If it wasn't for the accident that Xiao Ning fell on her, her life would be ruined. If Xiao Ning left her at this time, wouldn't he be pushing her into the fire pit with his own hands?"

Aunt San sighed, "But you..."

"I'm fine..." Su Ru took a long breath and said with a smile, "I'm very happy to see Xiao Ning every day and know that he is fine..."
