Chapter 32 Nancheng
The next day, after finishing his business in the shop, Xia's father went to see the village chief. No one knew what he said in the end.
However, seeing the relief on Xia's father's face, everyone knew that the matter would definitely be completed successfully.
I would definitely be reluctant to sell the Xia family courtyard. Besides, it can't be sold for much money, so I'll let Xia Feng take care of it on a daily basis.
When Xia Feng's wife learned that Uncle Xia and his family were leaving town, she felt very reluctant to let them go.
She hugged Rongrong and cried, making everyone laugh and cry.
However, before leaving, Jin came to the Xia family again and asked Grandma Zhou for advice on many things. However, Grandma Zhou and Jin did not let Xiaotong hear these things.
Outside Mingyuan Town.
The Xia family bought a carriage, and Xia Yutong and Xia's father lifted the curtain together.
Looking back at the city wall of Mingyuan Town, I was reluctant to leave.
I'm afraid the happiest ones among them are Xiaoxuan and Rongrong.
Where to next?
Xiaotong said to go to the imperial city.
Father Xia was worried that there was not enough money at home, so he wanted to go to the provincial capital.
Unfortunately, no one in the family agreed except Xia's mother.
Of course, the one who made the decision at home was still Xia's father, and he did not agree to go to the imperial city.
In the end, he could only go to Jiangnan, the richest area in Dayan.
Here, no matter what, you won’t be an eyesore, because this is a paradise for the rich.
Nancheng is the largest city in Jiangnan. It is home to the richest people in the world. A small family like the Xia family is really inconspicuous here.
It took the group three months to reach Nancheng.
Outside the South City Gate, Xia Yutong felt open-minded as she watched the people coming and going. She really liked such a bustling town.
I'm afraid this place can't compare to a hundred Mingyuan towns combined.
As soon as they entered South City, the first thing they did was to find an inn to settle down.
In order to avoid the same situation as in Mingyuan Town, Xia Yutong asked her father to drive the car onto the main road.
This is the south city center, divided into east, south, west and north.
The east is for nobility, the west is for poverty, the south is for business, and the north is for the military.
The east side is where the dignitaries live, and the west side is where the surrounding villagers live.
To the south are the residences of merchants, and to the north is where the South City Army is located.
Xia Yutong was not a novice when she first came to ancient times. She learned a lot of ancient things from Grandma Zhou.
Combined with the books she read every day, she quickly found the location of her home.
South.
The south is divided into inner city and outer city.
The outer city is where traveling merchants live, and the inner city is where some local tycoons or people with top wealth live.
No matter where you are, there are status and hierarchy.
They can forget about entering the inner city, but they can find a good area in the outer city.
After settling in the inn, Xia Yutong took Grandma Zhou out to look for a suitable courtyard as the future residence of the Xia family.
Here, you have money in your hands and you don't have to worry. You must find a place suitable for long-term settlement.
Along the way, she had already changed her mind.
I originally thought of going to the imperial city so that I could experience the grandeur of Dayan.
But along the way, she discovered that the Imperial City was not necessarily the best choice. After seeing the beauty of Nancheng, she felt that Nancheng was more suitable for her growth.
So this family has knowledge.
In modern times, the Xia family occupied a hilltop alone, and their buildings were no worse than those of the royal family. Now, she also wanted to rebuild the style of the Xia family here.
"Miss, is there something on your mind?" After going out, Grandma Zhou drove the carriage and asked inside the carriage.
Xia Yutong was originally imagining the future model of the Xia family, but after being interrupted, she lost the mood to dream.
"It's not done yet, but it would be best to find a house with a larger yard, and preferably one with a mountain behind it." That way she can build it step by step.
After hearing this, Granny Zhou rolled her eyes helplessly: "Miss, we are in the city, there are no mountains here." Miss is really...
"Forget it, let's go to the pawnshop and ask." Nancheng is so developed, I think the pawnshop is better than Mingyuan Town.
"yes."
After asking along the way, we soon arrived at the largest pawnshop in the outer city on South Street.
Xia Yutong took Grandma Zhou all the way into the dental center.
Find the manager and explain your purpose.
The manager of the pawnshop was also a capable person. After listening to all the conditions, he immediately found a suitable courtyard in his mind.
"Miss, we have a courtyard, but the price is a bit high." It was a courtyard sold by foreigners, and it was quite large. It seemed that they were called back by the king of their own country, so they had to sell it.
Originally, it didn't need to be sold, but it seemed that the person who came this time was not from the same family as that one.
"Nothing, can you take me to see it first?" Although Xia Yutong is a child now, her aura of a superior person can shock many people.
"Yes, I'll pack it up and take the young lady to see it right away." The steward bowed to Xia Yutong.
The manager should prepare the keys to the courtyard and some other things in advance, in case it is sold today?
He brought two more servants, "Miss, please."
The outer city side of South Street is more prosperous than the inner city, and there are all kinds of pedestrians coming and going around.
Fortunately, the people of Dayan are open-minded, otherwise Xia Yutong would not be able to appreciate such beautiful scenery.
Nancheng is really suitable for her.
There are many things produced in foreign countries here, and of course, the prices are not low.
To Xia Yutong, these are all antiques.
The further you go, the more remote the area is, and the fewer people there are.
Grandma Zhou became a little nervous. Sitting on the horse, she held her young lady's hand tightly.
"Don't worry, mother-in-law, it's okay." Seeing her nervousness, Xia Yutong smiled.
Grandma Zhou wanted to say something, but before she could open her mouth, the steward leading the way stopped the carriage.
"Miss, we're here." The manager was very jealous of the three-story building, but unfortunately, he didn't have the ability to buy it.
Someone in the city wanted to buy it, but the seller had a condition: the buyer had to be able to read the books he had stored at home.
You know, the Great Yan Dynasty valued scholars very much, and books were sold at very high prices, so expensive that they were unmatched.
It's like demolishing your home.
This house has not been sold yet.
Fortunately, the landlord won't leave until next spring, otherwise...
Hearing the steward's voice, Grandma Zhou jumped out of the carriage first.
Then he reached out and helped his lady out of the car.
Looking at the familiar buildings, Xia Yutong fell in love with this place at first sight.
It looks very much like the villas from the Republic of China period, but it is more European in style.
"Not bad." Xia Yutong really liked it.
After a while, the gate of the courtyard was opened.
A man and a woman came out.
They look like a couple.
After reading the introduction, I found out that they were indeed a couple. They planned to sell this place because they needed to return to their country, but unfortunately there were too many beloved things in it.
They were unable to take it away for the time being, so they finally came up with an idea, which was to find someone with the same hobby.
"Hello, wee to our restaurant." Although they have been in Dayan for many years, they are still used to speaking their mother tongue.
Of course, on weekdays, when they meet local people, they still speak Dayan dialect.
