Chapter 58 The Ferris wheel was something Liu Qingyue wanted to ride…

Liu Qingyue wanted to ride the Ferris wheel, but when he actually got on it, he couldn't help but feel a little scared.

After Liu Qingyue went up, she held Qin Ren's hand the whole time.

He glanced down cautiously, then immediately moved closer to Qin Ren in fear.

"This is really tall."

I thought it was okay when I was down there, but I didn't expect it to be this high up after I came up.

Qin Ren almost laughed when he saw this, but he held back so as not to embarrass Liu Qingyue.

He reached out and pulled Liu Qingyue to sit down beside him. "Don't be afraid, everything will be alright."

This amusement park is very famous, and its safety measures are very comprehensive.

Unless they are extremely unlucky, they shouldn't encounter accidents so easily.

Because Qin Ren held his hand and comforted him from time to time, Liu Qingyue was not so afraid.

Liu Qingyue looked at their clasped hands, and her face couldn't help but feel a little hot.

Realizing that this was not ancient times, but a modern society with an open atmosphere, Liu Qingyue did not break free from Qin Ren's grasp.

He thought Qin Ren's hands were really big, big and thick, completely different from his own hands, and he felt very safe holding them.

Liu Qingyue: "Can we buy a house in a higher-rise building in the future?"

Qin Ren raised his eyes slightly upon hearing this, "Aren't you afraid of heights?"

"I'm scared, but... look over there, from this high place, it's really beautiful."

When Qin Ren heard him say that, he glanced in the direction he was pointing.

It is indeed very beautiful, but not as beautiful at this time of day as it is at night.

J City is also beautiful at night, a different kind of beauty compared to the daytime.

Qin Ren: "Okay, then I'll go look at houses tomorrow and see if there are any penthouses available."

Afterwards, the two played at the amusement park for a while, and then went back to their hotel together.

The following morning, Qin Ren arranged to meet the real estate agent to view the house.

Qin Ren didn't have time to stay here and oversee the house renovations, so the houses he looked at were all second-hand.

Second-hand homes are prone to being sold through multiple landlords and can also lead to encountering troublesome landlords.

However, in order to save time, Qin Ren had no choice but to buy a second-hand house.

Fortunately, he looks a bit fierce, so most people don't dare to mess with him.

In addition, since they bought the houses through legitimate channels, the landlords aren't afraid of any trouble they might encounter.

Liu Qingyue wanted a higher floor, so Qin Ren showed her some rooftops.

The floors are of different heights; some have a roof on the ninth floor, some on the eleventh floor, and some on the twenty-sixth floor, and so on.

The ninth floor is a bit too short, and the twenty-sixth or thirtieth floors are too tall.

So in the end, the apartment they chose was on the eleventh floor.

This house is not in the city center, but next to a park in a slightly remote area. It is not as expensive as the city center, and the environment is not as bustling.

However, the housing prices here are much lower, and there is a large park next door. From here, you can not only see the bustling night view of the city center, but also the beautiful scenery of the park next door.

This apartment, with a roof covering over 240 square meters, is priced at only 1.6 million.

A house of over 200 square meters for 1.6 million yuan is really cheap.

After Qin Ren and Liu Qingyue took a liking to the house, they bought it.

This house was bought with money from Liu Qingyue's card, so it was naturally registered under Liu Qingyue's name.

Qin Ren doesn't lack houses now; he has a small courtyard in his hometown and a house in the county town.

Now that Liu Qingyue has a modern ID card, it's perfect to put this house in his name.

It is said that only when a person owns a house can they feel a sense of belonging.

Although they spend most of their time in ancient times now, they will probably come back when they get older.

Compared to ancient times, modern cities have better medical conditions and are more suitable for the lives of elderly people.

Liu Qingyue only had one million in her account, with the remaining six hundred thousand belonging to Qin Rentian.

It took three days from buying the house to transferring the ownership.

Once the house was bought, the two prepared to go back.

Liu Qingyue clearly hadn't had enough fun yet. Looking at this bustling metropolis, he wanted to stay here for a couple more days.

Seeing this, Qin Ren suggested that they could go to the scenic area in the next city for another two days.

The neighboring city is a tourist destination with many beautiful attractions.

Since Liu Qingyue hadn't had enough fun, they might as well go check out the place next door.

However, after discussing it with Liu Qingyue, Liu Qingyue still wanted to stay in J City.

For Liu Qingyue, those ancient architectural scenic spots weren't very interesting.

He lived in ancient times, where there were beautiful landscapes everywhere, and the environment was better than in modern times.

If he wants to see those beautiful landscapes, he can simply go back to ancient times to see them.

Compared to natural scenery and ancient architecture, he still prefers these skyscrapers and super shopping malls.

Having determined what Liu Qingyue wanted to see, Qin Ren took her shopping at the mall that very evening.

They went to the largest shopping mall in J City.

They could spend a long time exploring just one floor.

There are many high-end shops here, and lots of delicious food on the basement level.

Liu Qingyue dragged Qin Ren directly to the basement to eat. Qin Ren was worried that he would get an upset stomach if he ate everything, so he was very careful when buying food for him.

Qin Ren: "I can't eat this, it's too spicy."

Qin Ren: "You can't have this one either, it's too oily. If you want to eat this, you can't have ice cream. You can choose one of the two."

Liu Qingyue was a little unhappy, "Why can't we eat together?"

"Your stomach is quite sensitive. Eating fried food, ice cream, and a little cake will definitely upset your stomach."

"Then, I'll just taste it, and you can eat the rest for me."

Liu Qingyue took a bite of the fried chicken leg and gave the rest to Qin Ren.

He ate another bite of the duck neck, and gave the rest to Qin Ren.

Seeing this, Qin Ren suddenly became a little worried, and was very concerned that if he continued to eat like this, he might become fat one day.

He remembered that Liu Qingyue was quite particular about looks.

No matter how handsome Qin Ren is, he will be ugly if he becomes fat.

"If you can't finish it, don't buy so much."

As Qin Ren said this, he grabbed Liu Qingyue's hand, who was about to pay.

Liu Qingyue thought modern times were so convenient; she didn't need to carry money with her, she could just scan a QR code with her phone to pay.

He also has a watch, and Qin Ren enabled the payment function on his watch.

He had always paid with his watch, but then he discovered that some children had the same model of watch. Since most adults around him used their phones to pay, he felt embarrassed to continue using his watch.

He finally understood that Qin Ren treated him like a child.

The watches I gave him were all children's models.

In the end, Liu Qingyue still ate the ice cream. It was so cold that he shook his head.

Qin Ren didn't let him eat any more cake. Cake is available everywhere, so there was no need to eat it all today.

Eating too much or too many different kinds of food isn't necessarily a good thing; it can easily cause stomach upset and nausea.

Besides, after they moved here, what can't Liu Qingyue eat?

Why rush things!

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, they went to see a movie.

Liu Qingyue likes to watch romance movies, science fiction movies, and horror movies.

A sci-fi movie just happened to be released today, so Qin Ren took him to see it.

Qin Ren doesn't like watching romance movies or family dramas.

He felt that the love and family relationships depicted in the film were not in the style he preferred.

He enjoys watching science fiction films or documentaries used for popular science.

Today's movie is a sci-fi film, which happens to be one that both he and Liu Qingyue like, so watching the movie wasn't too boring.

After watching the movie, it was already quite late.

They didn't move into the newly bought house; the other house was a second-hand one, hadn't been cleaned, and the furniture hadn't been replaced.

Qin Ren didn't take him back to his original place, but instead continued to stay at the hotel.

The next day, Liu Qingyue downloaded a new game and didn't go out to play it.

He's like a game addict now, with all sorts of games downloaded on his tablet and his new phone.

Also, he now spends real money on in-game items. He secretly buys clothes and equipment for himself.

Of course, Liu Qingyue is quite sensible. He likes to spend money and often does, but he doesn't spend too much.

Just like when he tops up his game account, he generally won't buy the more expensive items, but only the cheaper ones.

While Qin Ren was playing games, he went to his new house and hired a cleaning service to give it a thorough cleaning. He also changed the lock on the front door.

After spending two more days in J City, they drove back to their hometown county.

Back in the county town, they didn't rush back to ancient times.

Liu Qingyue planned to buy a lot of things to take back with her, including food, drinks, and other necessities.

They are currently in Qin Ren's fiefdom. Qin Ren doesn't like servants to attend to him personally, so there aren't many people in their courtyard.

They only send someone to clean the yard when it needs cleaning; most of the time it's just the two of them.

He never allowed his servants to touch Liu Qingyue's things.

He set up a small storeroom for himself, which was specifically for storing his things.

He usually keeps the door locked, so even Qin Ren can't just go in.

Because she had her own small storeroom, Liu Qingyue felt she could take more things back with her.

This way, he wouldn't need to run back and forth every day to get what he wanted from the small warehouse.

Also, since there was no air conditioning in ancient times, people could have more drinks and fruits to cool off, and they could also freeze more ice for their own use.

To store the fruit and ice, Qin Ren bought two refrigerators.

One is a large double-door refrigerator, and the other is a traditional freezer.

Qin Ren froze a lot of ice with tap water, and then took Liu Qingyue to buy a lot of ice cream, drinks, fruits, and vegetables...

After filling both refrigerators, the two of them packed some things to take back with them.

First and foremost, ice cubes are a must-have.

As for bringing it back, how am I supposed to explain it to everyone?

That's easy to say. Generally, wealthy families would store ice in winter, and in some places, people would store ice and then sell it when it gets warm.

It doesn't snow much in the south, so it's difficult to store ice in winter.

Some wealthy families would transport ice from a great distance to use as a cooling measure.

Of course, transporting ice all the way from the north is not only labor-intensive, but also difficult to store, making it a very uneconomical endeavor.

This is why ice is extremely rare and expensive in the southern summer.

Qin Ren knew how to make ice with saltpeter, and he had a story to tell them about taking the ice back with them.

In addition, since he is the Marquis of Yuling, even if someone finds it strange, they wouldn't dare to question him.

We need to bring ice, and also some fruits and vegetables back with us.

They don't need to explain this; the weather in the south is hot and rainy, and it's a place where fruits and melons are plentiful.

They took some fruits back with them, and as long as they didn't show the rare fruits to everyone, no one would suspect anything.

Having prepared what they needed to bring, the two of them returned to ancient times together.

Qi has been quite worried about them these past few days.

When Qin Ren and Liu Qingyue returned, she was tending to the flowers and plants in the backyard.

Upon hearing Xiang Sui say that Liu Qingyue had returned, she immediately put down her work and rushed to the front yard.

Then she saw that the two of them had brought back a lot of things.

Looking at the several boxes placed in the front yard, Madam Qi asked, "What are these?"

Liu Qingyue was directing the servants to move things when she heard this and turned to Qi Shi, saying, "Mother, there are quite a few ice blocks here. My husband brought them back to help us cool off in the summer."

Because there were too many people in the front yard, Liu Qingyue didn't explain much to her.

He had his things moved to his and Qin Ren's bedroom, and only after there were no other people around did he pull Qi Shi aside to show her the contents.

Qi first looked at the ice, and upon seeing it, she couldn't help but say, "Where did you buy so much ice? This must have cost a lot of money!"

Liu Qingyue waved her hand, "My husband knows how to make ice using saltpeter, and these ice blocks are made from that stuff."

Although saltpeter is not easy to obtain, it should still be much cheaper than buying ice in the summer.

At this point, the ice is almost as valuable as real gold and silver.

The weather here is hot, and ice will melt quickly if left outside.

Afterwards, Liu Qingyue had some of them put into the cellar, and when the weather was hot, she would bring some out and put them in the room.

Although it's not as effective as air conditioning, having some ice in the room is definitely better than nothing.

After dealing with the ice, Liu Qingyue opened the box containing the fruits.

This box contains two watermelons, a durian, a bunch of bananas, a box of strawberries, and a box of grapes.

Watermelons and bananas are available in Nanning, but they are relatively rare.

The Qi family had seen grapes before; other countries had previously presented them as tribute to Dayong.

On one occasion, Minister Liu brought some things back, but instead of giving them to Madam Qi, the matriarch of the household, he gave them to Madam Su and her children.

Qi was not a glutton; she didn't care about this little bit of food.

She just felt wronged, and she felt wronged for her two children.

Despite being born of the principal wife, her two children are not as well off as those born of concubines.

Seeing the grapes that Liu Qingyue brought back now, Qi couldn't help but think of this incident.

Liu Qingyue: "Mother, the winter melon and durian can be kept for a few more days, but the others won't last long. These are all gifts from my husband. See if there's anything you like?"

Upon hearing this, Madam Qi nodded quickly, "I like it, I like it, I like it both. He's thoughtful, and you're thoughtful too."

Upon hearing this, Liu Qingyue immediately became happy.

However, he still had to give Qi a few words of advice.

"The cold melon can be shared with the servants, but the others cannot be shared. In particular, durian and strawberries are not suitable to be taken out to eat."

Qi was a little puzzled, but didn't ask any further questions.

Now that Yue'er has grown up and started to be filial to her mother, she only needs to enjoy her life in peace and doesn't need to think about anything else.

"Okay, I'll be careful."
