Chapter 57 If Qiu Yu didn't understand Su…
Qiu Yu didn't understand why Su Yunting had such a misunderstanding about her, but it wasn't the right time for a deep conversation. She decided not to mention the reason for his misunderstanding for the time being, as long as he didn't object to hiring someone to do housework.
Su Yunting told the real estate agent that he wanted to buy a two-courtyard house. The real estate agent clapped his hands after hearing this and said, "There is a two-courtyard house for sale just across the street. The seller is also a scholar who moved to the prefecture after passing the imperial examination. Since his hometown is not in the county, he will not need this house in the future, so he entrusted our agency to sell it on his behalf."
Although Mingshun County is not small, not many people who passed the imperial examination moved there. As soon as the real estate agent mentioned it, Su Yunting and Lu Yide knew whose house it was.
Lu Yide asked the real estate agent, and it turned out to be the person they had guessed.
Lu Yide said to Su Yunting, "His house is really nice, and it has a good meaning."
Su Yunting and Qiu Yuruo didn't care whether the meaning was good or bad, but it was better for others to think it was auspicious than to think it was unlucky.
The group then followed the real estate agent to the next street. This street was noticeably wider than the two streets they had just seen, and most of the houses on both sides were two-courtyard houses.
The real estate agent took out the key and opened the gate. The first thing you saw was a screen wall with a large "福" (good fortune) character carved on it. After passing the screen wall, you could see the entire front yard.
The courtyard was not large, and the house was not dilapidated. There were three main rooms, two rear rooms, two side rooms on the west side, a sycamore tree planted in front, and only one side room on the east side, which led to the inner door to the backyard.
Upon entering the house, all the usual furniture was present, and the wood was surprisingly good; it was clear that the furniture hadn't been used for long and could still be considered new.
I looked through all the rooms. The outer courtyard didn't have any particularly outstanding features, but it also didn't have any major flaws. It was just average.
Entering the inner courtyard through the inner gate, the first thing you see is a screen wall painted with peony patterns on the east wing wall. Only after passing the screen wall can you see the inner courtyard in its entirety.
Compared to the outer courtyard, the inner courtyard is much larger. It contains a well, flower garden, three wing rooms on the east and west sides, and pomegranate and persimmon trees planted in front of the gate. The main hall has four rooms with two doors, and two rooms on the east and west sides.
The inner courtyard alone is larger than the large courtyard I saw before.
Qiu Yuruo fell in love with the inner courtyard as soon as she entered. Upon closer inspection of each room, she discovered that it was almost identical to the rented workshop, with hardly any furniture.
Qiu Yuru was just thinking that no matter what the furniture in the inner courtyard was like, her and her two younger sisters' rooms had to be replaced with new ones.
That's great, it saves us the trouble of moving things out.
If Qiu Yu doesn't care about whether there's furniture or not, the real estate agent will make sure everything is clear.
"The furniture in the inner courtyard was all part of the original homeowner's dowry. After using these things for a long time, we developed an attachment to them, so we didn't leave them behind when we moved and just took them with us."
If Qiu Yu understood, she would know that a woman's dowry would not be easily discarded.
There wasn't much to see in the empty room. After leaving the room, Qiu Yu asked Su Yunting how he felt.
Su Yunting certainly wanted to give his wife the best, but with his current resources, this was the best house he could afford.
The house was suitable in terms of both location and layout, and the two had no objections. After inquiring about the price from the real estate agent, they finally bought the two-courtyard house for three hundred taels of silver.
The property transfer and the completion of the red deed took two days.
The property deed, as Su Yunting had previously stated, was ultimately registered under Qiu Yuruo's name.
Before they became a couple, Qiu Yu Ruo would never have wanted it. Now that he's willing to put the property in her name, Qiu Yu Ruo feels a sense of security.
After passing the Red Contract, the two went to the courtyard, and the feeling was completely different from before.
The outer courtyard has eight rooms. The two discussed that three main rooms would be used as Su Yunting's study, and the other two would be used as reception rooms.
The east wing is Yun Che's study.
There were two west wing rooms; one housed his two apprentices, and the other served as a guest room.
Then there are two rooms facing outwards near the entrance. Qiu Yuruo said to Su Yunting, "For a courtyard with two sections, we'll have to hire someone to guard the outer courtyard."
When Qiu Yu mentioned hiring people, Su Yunting first looked at her face and saw that she was still full of energy and her eyes were shining. He knew that his wife was not as unwilling to hire people to do things at home as he had thought.
Since he was willing to hire people to do things, Su Yunting tried to say, "If you really want someone to do things at home, you can trust them more than someone you buy."
Qiu Yuruo: "Buying people is too expensive. Let's hire people for the gatekeeper and kitchen. Let's buy a maid for Second Sister first. We can add more people to the family when the workshop business is stable next year."
After Qiu Yuruo finished speaking, Su Yunting said with a hint of surprise, "Yuruo, you really don't object to buying people?"
Qiu Yu Ruo has lived in this era where buying and selling people is legal for eight years. Not to mention that she knew in her previous life that buying and selling people was legal in ancient times, she could completely accept the idea of buying someone to work for her if she had the means.
However, Su Yunting's reaction made Qiu Yuru quite curious: "Why do you think I'm unwilling to buy people back? Last time, when I said I wanted to hire people to work at home, you seemed very surprised."
Su Yunting answered truthfully: "Because you always treat everyone equally, and at home you don't treat your younger siblings differently because they are boys or girls."
To outsiders, in your heart, there isn't much difference between the clan chief and Uncle Mao.
And the customers at the food stalls, whether they are big merchants passing by or old farmers who only buy a pound of the cheapest pastries during festivals, all seem the same to you.
In your mind, everyone is equal, which is why I think you would oppose buying or even hiring people.
After listening, Qiu Yuruo realized that she had underestimated his understanding of her.
Then there's the admiration for the protagonists in the time-travel novels I've read.
Having all his childhood memories and merging them with his past life memories, eight years have passed. Even now, Su Yunting can still discern his true thoughts through his outward appearance.
Qiu Yu had no idea how other time travelers managed to keep it a secret from their closest friends and family.
What she's considering now is to take this opportunity to tell him her secret, just as he told her the secret of his rebirth.
She also confessed her secret of time travel to him. As for his inability to accept it after the confession, Qiu Yuruo was optimistic.
Even if he couldn't accept it, Qiu Yuruo accepted it.
After all, he should already know in his heart that he is different from the people of this era.
Since the two became engaged, Qiu Yuruo has never doubted his love for her.
Since he loves himself for his ideas that are different from those of this era, he should be able to accept his own experiences.
