After Butcher Yang and his two families arrived at the place, Su Yin's family's carriage continued to move forward. After driving for less than half a cup of tea, the carriage stopped in front of the house.
Madam Xu helped her mother-in-law get off the carriage, and Niu Niu followed suit. The three of them looked outside the door. Although it was not as grand as the gate of Mr. Wan Sanye's house, it was incomparable to the adobe house at home.
Su's mother took out the key, unlocked the door, and pushed open the heavy door.
Madam Xu carried Niuniu down and said to her, "You walk on your own. I have to go to work."
Niu Niu nodded obediently.
Mrs. Xu and Granny Xu were not in a hurry to move their own things, but went to help move the Su family's things first.
Mother Su smiled and said, "No, no, we can do it ourselves. Hurry up and move your things in."
"I don't have much stuff at home, it will be ready in a moment."
Su's mother couldn't persuade her, so she went with her.
The neighbors around heard the noise. Some of them opened the gate and looked out. After making eye contact with the Su family, they nodded politely and greeted each other.
Madam Xu stepped into the courtyard carrying a pile of things and was stunned by the screen wall in front of the door at first sight. The further she walked in, the wider her eyes became. The size and exquisiteness of the courtyard were beyond her imagination.
Following behind her, Niuniu opened her big round eyes, looked at the flowers blooming in the courtyard, and said in a baby voice: "Mom, flowers, flowers... are so beautiful."
"Mom, Niuniu, I like it."
Things were unloaded from the carriage one by one, and after everything was moved, Su Xiaozhong drove the four horses to the stable one by one. Among the four horses, three were from the Su family, and the other was from Madam Xu's family.
The stable in the house was very small and four carriages could hardly fit in.
The time is still there, Su Xiaozhong is going to sell two horses, and it will be enough to keep one for himself.
When Madam Xu heard that Su Xiaozhong wanted to sell horses, she asked him to sell her own horses as well.
Now that we have arrived in Shangjing City, there is no use keeping the horses here. It is better to sell them early so that we can have more money in our hands.
It was unrealistic for Su Xiaozhong to drive three horse-drawn carriages by himself, so Su Yin followed him and went to Butcher Yang's house to ask for a helper.
When Butcher Yang learned that they wanted to sell horses, he decided to sell one of their horses and keep the other one at home since they already had two.
When my uncle and Doctor Li learned that Su Yin wanted to sell the horse, they followed without thinking.
The final result was that a group of people rushed to the horse market with six carriages and horses to take action.
Su Xiaozhong knew exactly where the horse market in Shangjing City was. It was located in the market town in the west of the city.
As soon as he entered the west of the city, Su Yin noticed that there were many foreigners of different skin colors on the streets.
When Butcher Yang and the others saw those foreigners, they were all surprised and couldn't help but take a few more glances.
The horse market in Shangjing City was huge, the largest horse market Su Yin had ever seen. The smell was also stronger, a stench of animal excrement that rushed straight to the head and almost drove people away.
Su Xiaozhong noticed his daughter's tangled face and smiled cheerfully, "I told you before, don't come. If you don't listen, this is what will happen."
"Dad, be careful or I'll tell mom that you bullied me."
"Ouch, you girl!"
The father and daughter had a verbal argument for a while, but they didn't forget to get down to business.
"Dad, that thing is gone, right?"
"Well, I checked it when I just pulled it out, and it's gone."
"It seems that they have been targeting us since we entered the city."
"The things have been taken away, so they have nothing to do with us."
“I hope they will like the gifts we prepare for them.”
The father and daughter looked at each other, and a sly smile appeared at the corners of their lips at the same time.
Their horses were carefully cared for along the way, but no matter how carefully they were cared for, they could not be as shiny as the horses in the market that had enough food and drink every day and did not have to travel every day.
Even so, the price of a horse in the capital is much higher than in other places. They set the price lower than other families, so they still make a profit.
Some of these horses were spoils of war they obtained while fleeing from famine, and they were sold for pure profit.
Some of them were purchased in Linzhou Prefecture. Not only did they not lose money when they resold them now, but they even made five or six taels of silver for each horse. They did not suffer any loss in the middle of the journey, and they did not have to suffer any hardship on the way to the capital.
After coming out of the horse market, Butcher Yang said happily: "Yinyin is really smart. She didn't suffer any hardship along the way and even made a little money."
Butcher Yang became even more determined to follow Su Yin.
He always felt that his luck would get better if he was with Su Yin.
"Uncle Yang Hu, when you get back, tell the others to sell their horses as soon as possible," Su Yin reminded.
Butcher Yang has no problem with that. Anyway, it’s right to listen to Su Yin.
"Okay, I'll tell them on the way back. I'll also tell them the price of horses in the capital so they don't get hurt."
When Su Yin and his daughter returned home, their belongings were placed in their respective rooms.
The main room was occupied by Su Xiaozhong and his wife, the first room in the east wing was occupied by Su Yin, and the side room was used as Su Yin's study. The second room in the east wing was occupied by Su Baozhu, and the side room was temporarily occupied by Xu Niangzi and her family.
The two rooms in the west wing were prepared by Su's mother for Su Xinyang and his brother, one for each.
Su's mother originally wanted Su Xu Niang and her family to live in the west wing first, but Xu Niang refused and moved directly to the ear room on the east side.
Although the ear room is not as big as the wing room, it is large enough to accommodate Xu Niangzi and her family of three.
Originally there was a bed in the ear room. It was a long bunk bed with wooden boxes on both sides of the bed. There was also a square table in the room. The small room was fully equipped with furniture.
This should be the house where the maids of the previous owner lived.
When Su Yin came back, she wanted to clean the house herself, but she didn't expect that Madam Xu had already cleaned it for her.
"Thank you, Aunt Xu."
Madam Xu smiled and said, "It's just a gesture, no need to thank me. You can pack your bag, I'll go get busy first."
"Don't worry, auntie. This is fifty-two taels, the money for the horse."
"So many?" Madam Xu was very surprised.
"Horses in the capital are expensive and the price is good. Uncle Yang Hu and his men bought horses in Linzhou Prefecture and made a profit of five or six taels of silver by reselling them." Su Yin said with a smile.
"That's great! What a pity that I didn't buy it. But I am satisfied with the fifty-two taels."
She had never dared to dream of so much money in the past, but now that she has become wealthy after escaping, no one would believe such a good thing if she told them about it.
Madam Xu looked at Su Yin with gratitude. After all, it was all thanks to Su Yatou.
After Madam Xu left the room, Su Yin looked around her bedroom to see if there was anything missing so that she could go to the market tomorrow to buy it.
At first glance, there are indeed a lot of things missing.
