Chapter 238 239. Moving into a New Home

Jin Qianqian also tapped his waist and said, "You seem to be gaining weight. Do you think you will look like Mr. Wu in a while, and need to hold your belly to walk properly?"

Gu Wenheng immediately identified himself with the scene he couldn't imagine. He shook his head in fear and said, "That won't happen. From tomorrow on, I will walk to the academy."

"Are you sure?" Jin Qianqian looked at him suspiciously, "When we move over there, the distance will be more than half."

Gu Wenheng, "...then take half of the carriage and walk the other half."

Jin Qianqian brought the question back to the subject, "You haven't told me yet, is it really okay to transfer this house to your junior brother?"

Gu Wenheng, "Don't worry, he won't lose anything."

Jin Qianqian didn't understand and looked at him with her big eyes blinking.

Gu Wenheng, "Don't be fooled by this junior brother's young age. He works very hard on his studies. He will definitely become a scholar next year."

"How cunning," Jin Qianqian finally understood why he said that before, "If your junior fellow apprentice passes the imperial examination again, the price of this house will probably go up even more. Are you the first person to speculate in real estate since ancient times?"

Gu Wenheng smiled, "Then I have to work harder, and the Zhuangyuan Mansion will probably be more popular."

Jin Qianqian quickly spat a few words, "Take back what you said quickly. If you really win the first prize, will you still want to sell our current yard?"

Gu Wenheng leaned on her and said a few words without any image, "It's all my fault. Have you packed all the things for tomorrow's move?"

Jin Qianqian had already asked about the local customs and had prepared everything that needed to be prepared. "But, is it really okay if we don't invite our parents over?"

If it were in the past, Jin Qianqian would never have mentioned this, but in this dynasty where filial piety is the rule, she was afraid that Gu Wenheng would be attacked by others because of this.

“It’s okay.” Since Gu Wenheng was prepared to live a better life in this dynasty, he naturally had to understand some laws. “At that time, there was a document for dividing the family. Even if my parents got old in the future, the brothers would take turns to take care of them.

I have so many older brothers, and when they moved into their new house, they did not invite the two old people to live in.

As a younger brother, I naturally have to follow the example of my older brothers and not surpass them."

If the family was divided at that time and the child only lived with one son, Gu Wenhengwei would have to invite the old man to his home because of his good reputation.

When Jin Qianqian heard that there was no impact, she naturally let it go. After all, no one is stupid enough to put two huge mountains on his head.

As for the elders in the clan who will come over for the banquet later, it would be very respectful if we just prepare a return gift for them.

The door brings in thousands of auspiciousness, and the new house has a new look.

Jin Qianqian, who was standing at the second gate of the inner courtyard to welcome guests, only realized today that the two of them had unknowingly built so many connections in Fu County.

In addition to Gu Wenheng's fellow apprentices, merchants from the entire street also came to congratulate.

"Mrs. Gu, congratulations, this is a double happiness." Lin Aijiao's face was full of smiles. Relying on the soap and perfumed soaps provided by Jin Qianqian, she has quickly established a foothold in the neighboring county.

"Sister Lin is here. That's too polite of you to have come all the way here." Jin Qianqian really didn't send out wedding invitations widely. Many people came spontaneously.

Fortunately, she had already asked Butler Fu to prepare some banquets, otherwise there would be no seats available today.

Qingzhu behind them quickly walked over and took the person to the backyard. Today, the three Qings’ task was to take turns helping to guide the guests.

"Madam Wang," Jin Qianqian saw Wang Buyi's wife and little daughter coming in, "thank you for taking this trip."

Mrs. Wang looked at Jin Qianqian with a complicated expression. The last time they were on the road, the girl in front of her was just the wife of a difficult student, but in the blink of an eye, she was on equal footing with her.

No, I guess I can only hope soon. This ancient Chinese scholar Heng can pass the provincial examination and it is only a matter of time before he passes the imperial examination. I have never been able to get the title of wife of an imperial concubine in my entire life, but maybe this young lady can get it easily.

She smiled, "Wen Heng has a sharp eye. He found such a good wife for himself early on. Seeing how you manage this place so neatly, it's no wonder that he can work so hard for his future without any distractions."

Jin Qianqian heard the hidden meaning in these words, but she remained calm, "Mr. Wang has been able to stay in Leping Academy to teach and educate people all these years, which is inseparable from the hard work of his wife.

There are some drinks in the backyard. I'll have someone take you in and take a look."

Qingmei, who had just filled the vacancy, was about to ask the person to leave when a middle-aged lady walked in.

Mrs. Wang was a step faster. She walked over and said with a smile, "Mrs. Tian, you are here too."

Tian Wanru smiled and said, "Our Gu Jieyuan is celebrating his new home, so we have to come and share in his joy."

Then he turned to Jin Qianqian who was standing behind Madam Wang and said, "Don't mind, I'll have a drink too!"

Jin Qianqian had already known the magistrate's wife during the banquets during this period. Although she was the highest-ranking lady in Fu County, she was also the kindest person.

"I can't welcome you enough. I thought it was just a normal relocation, but I didn't expect to disturb you all."

Jin Qianqian really didn't expect such a scene today. After all, they had already celebrated heavily because of Gu Wenheng's success in the imperial examination. This time when they moved, they didn't even post a message.

"I think you are too cautious," Zeng Wanru walked over, grabbed her hand and patted it, "Your family is now in our county town, which is a blessed place. Everyone wants to take advantage of you, but you still want to hide it."

"I dare not say that, it was all just luck. There are drinks in the backyard. If you don't mind, you can go and take a look first."

Zeng Wanru said, "I came here today just to take a good look at your yard. I heard that you built it all by hand, according to your ideas. I really have to take a good look at it."

Jin Qianqian didn't expect the news to spread so quickly. "Just don't laugh at me for a moment. These are just some of my unrealistic ideas. If there's anything I did wrong, I hope you can help point it out for me."

Zeng Wanru saw someone coming in again, and knew that Jin Qianqian would be very busy today, so she patted her hand and said, "You go ahead and do your work here, and let someone take us in for a walk."

Jin Qianqian bowed, turned around and said to Qingmei, "Take Madam Tian to the backyard for a walk, don't treat her badly."

"Yes," Qingmei bowed to Mrs. Tian and Mrs. Wang, then turned sideways and carefully led the way.

"I've heard a lot these days. Some of the construction of this ancient palace is unheard of, and I've been curious about it for a long time." Zeng Wanru felt that her eyes were too busy to take in everything as soon as she arrived at the backyard. When she saw something new, she would stop to take a look.
