As expected, the Chu family elders had no choice but to accept it.
"Lian'er, whatever decorations you like, we'll get them all done for you," said Old Madam Chu.
Qiao Lian'er said, "Then I'll make the arrangements."
It's good that she participates as a future protagonist; it will put the two elders at ease.
As expected, the two elders were very pleased to hear this, and Madam Chu immediately took the steward and nanny to choose a house.
She had lived here for decades and knew Yuezhou City very well, so Qiao Lian'er went to manage the shop.
Seeing a sign for sale hanging at a shop next door, which was about the same size, Qiao Lian'er bought it to sell nuts.
Previously, nuts were placed in herbal medicine shops to attract customers to buy herbs, but now they are no longer needed. Ordinary people can hardly buy the herbs here, as they have been basically all bought up by major pharmacies.
Moreover, in order not to affect the business of those pharmacies that purchased their products, the Chu family stopped selling to individual customers. Gradually, no customers came except for the pharmacy owners and managers.
But of course, fertilizers and pesticides also had to be used. After setting up the nut shop, Qiao Lian'er went and bought up all the shops she could, filling them with goods.
Then they went to a brokerage firm to hire people to look after the shops, and within two or three days, the businesses started operating.
Qiao Lian'er took out 30,000 taels to buy a house, so the money she spent on these shops for the Chu family to manage was small compared to that, and Old Madam Chu didn't say anything more.
After several days of careful selection, they finally acquired a large house in the city center near the government office. The original owner was hesitant to sell, but they still bought it at a higher price, spending 28,000 taels of silver.
Qiao Lian'er made corresponding plans. This was a large mansion that had been inhabited, and all the furnishings were there. She made some changes according to her own preferences, keeping the good aspects.
Then they invited craftsmen and began construction.
Seven or eight days later, the interior of the mansion had changed most of its appearance. Qiao Lian'er's renovation referenced the characteristics of the capital city, making it appear dignified and elegant. The two elders of the Chu family nodded repeatedly, saying that it was good to have been to big places; they could never have imagined this.
This isn't a newly built house, so there's no need for a housewarming banquet. We just plan to invite a few tables of guests for dinner, mainly relatives, and Mr. Chu's colleagues and superiors in the government office.
"If only your mother were here too. Even though it's not a wedding banquet, it would still feel like we're moving into a new home," Old Madam Chu thought of Qiao Yunni.
The Qiao family lives too far away, so we won't invite them. But it's still a bit of a shame that Qiao Yunni isn't here.
"Yes, but we're having a family banquet tomorrow, so there's no time now," Old Master Chu remarked with a sigh.
"Grandma, Grandpa, wait for me, I'll go and bring Mom here right away," Qiao Lian'er said.
Old Madam Chu quickly stopped her: "It's three hundred li away, and it's getting dark. Do you want to rush back in the dark? No, no, it's too dangerous."
Qiao Lian'er patted Old Madam Chu's hand: "Grandma, I have a way. No matter what happens, don't be surprised or make any noise. Wait for my good news."
She went into the room, activated the space delivery program, and then broke off a small pill and swallowed it.
Because of the short distance and the short time frame, the medicine doesn't need to take long to take effect.
Old Madam Chu hadn't seen anyone for a long time. When she went into Qiao Lian'er's room, she found it empty. She immediately panicked, because she had clearly seen Lian'er go inside.
Just as he was about to call the servants to go out and look for someone, he remembered Qiao Lian'er's words: "Don't make any noise."
Could it be that Lian'er was taken to Datian Village by a deity?
Thinking of this possibility, Old Madam Chu felt both a little scared and a sense of awe.
If only he were a god, he wouldn't harm people, and Lian'er has always been protected by the gods.
When she opened her eyes again, Qiao Lian'er was back in her room in Datian Village.
It takes two hours to travel three thousand li, or only twenty-four minutes to travel three hundred li, and you still arrive at Datian Village before it gets dark.
