Han Zeyu had nothing to do, so he took a walk around the city and inquired about the housing prices near Luoqi Academy.
When I heard the quote from the owner of the dental clinic, I gasped. It turned out that when buying a house, the first choice is a school district house. This price is really outrageous.
After asking about the prices of several shops, Han Zeyu gave up reluctantly and finally bought a piece of vacant land near the pier.
Han Zeyu was heartbroken at the loss of the huge sum of eight hundred taels. The night before returning home, he took advantage of the dead of night and vigorously turned over the land he had bought at great expense twice.
It's not a preparation for laying the foundation after the spring, but simply like a small animal marking its territory, except that his method is a little wilder.
There were three of them when they came to the city, but on the way back, there were six of them because Han Zeyu bought a family of three at the pawnshop.
The person in charge said that this family can make tofu and has good skills, but they don’t sell it individually, so these three people sell it in packages.
Although the words were unpleasant, the person in charge had a good heart. This family of three was quite pitiful. If they were separated and sold separately, the family would be completely broken up.
Those who have special skills are considered craftsmen and their prices are higher. It cost another seventeen taels of silver to buy three people.
Su Shien comforted her depressed husband: "Don't worry, I've finished half of my storybook. How about we publish the first volume first?"
Han Zeyu shook his head. He thought that pirated copies of the first volume would probably be everywhere before the second volume came out. It would not be worth it.
Su Shien sighed. A scholar is good for nothing. He is now a poor scholar who depends on his husband for support. He doesn't know when he can let Yu Ge'er spend money as he pleases.
Han Zeyu looked at Su Shien with an incredulous look, and said in amazement, "I didn't realize you still have the ambition to become a corrupt official?"
Su Shien was speechless. Why was he going to become a corrupt official?
Han Zeyu analyzed to him that officials cannot do business, but their family members can. If an official does not intend to accept bribes, what can he expect to do with that little salary?
By the way, officials in this dynasty were paid annual salaries. If one really relied on their salaries to support their families, the grass on their ancestral graves would probably be as tall as a person.
Su Shien felt even more ashamed after hearing this. A poor scholar is a rich juren. Although he would not make much money even if he passed the juren exam, he could be a backer for her husband, so he would not have to worry about being bullied by others.
Han Zeyu was very touched and gave her husband a loving kiss. Her husband was so smart that he understood the importance of a protective umbrella at such a young age.
The reason why the Sun family was able to monopolize Qingshan County was because they had a backer, but the backer was not as strong as the Su family.
The last empty room in the store was allocated to a family of three, allowing them to rest for a day and start working with everyone tomorrow.
Han Zeyu was short of money, so he simply caught two old hens as gifts and went to visit his elder sister with Su Shien.
Su Shinian is not pregnant yet and looks the same as before, except that she often feels sleepy.
Su Shinian was very surprised to see his younger brother coming to visit him, but before he could say a few words, Yang Wan came into the main room carrying a pot of hot water.
Su Shinian suddenly felt embarrassed. She had never told her brother about the fact that she secretly took in her wet nurse and the grandparents because she was afraid that he would think too much.
Yang Wan was really rude. She walked in without even knocking. How could she explain herself in this situation?
Su Shien's face looked bad indeed. It had been such a short while since they last met, but Yang Wan looked even more blessed.
She looks so white and plump that if she changes her clothes, it would be hard to tell who is the pampered young lady.
It's clearly an employment relationship, but the employer is a bit too easygoing.
Su Shinian's cheeks flushed red, and she signaled Yang Wan with her eyes to get out quickly, but Yang Wan had no time to pay attention to her. She was staring at the young master with full affection!
Su Shien was furious and scolded, "What are you looking at! Do you have any manners? Are you here to add water or to feast your eyes?"
Seeing that his brother was really angry, Su Shinian quickly tried to smooth things over: "Don't be angry, she is still young and doesn't understand. Since you are here, don't be angry with the little girl. Stay for dinner, your brother-in-law will be back soon."
Without waiting for Su Shien to refuse, Han Zeyu agreed first. He had never met his elder brother-in-law, so this was a good opportunity to see what kind of man Su Wang had chosen for his elder sister.
Wang Tong saw a familiar carriage at the door of his house. He took a closer look and realized that it was the carriage that Su Shien rode to school, but he had left Qingshan Academy and it had been some time since they last met.
During the meal, Han Zeyu was peeping calmly. After observing, he felt that he was worthy of being the husband chosen by Su Wangshi for her rival's daughter. He was living off her like a freeloader with a clear conscience.
Those who knew him passed the examination for the position of Tongsheng with flying colors, while those who didn't thought he was on the list of successful candidates and was paraded through the streets on horseback.
His grades were similar to Han Zecang's, but he hadn't seen his silly brother showing off everywhere.
It can be seen that Wang Tong is not a very cunning person, nor is he very smart. In short, he has great ambitions but little talent. It would be a blessing for him to pass the imperial examination and become a scholar after three years.
Even after the meal was over and the table was cleared, Han Zeyu still didn't see the wet nurse, so he knew that Yang Wan had gone back to inform her.
The girl stared at Su Shien with unwillingness in her eyes just now, and it was obvious that she had not given up yet. At this stage, this is not really a bad thing.
At least Su Shien was not polite to her, but it is hard to say about Wang Tong.
If Su Shien knew that her husband was using him as a bait, she would be so angry that she wouldn't be able to eat. She was really not afraid that her husband would be taken away by a wild wolf!
Han Zeyu took strict confidentiality measures in this regard, and would not even tell it in his dreams.
Han Zeyu now shouldered the responsibility of communication, hinting, "Nursinger has toiled for years, why doesn't she go home to reunite with her children? My husband even went out of his way to return her indenture, only to find she'd come to live with my sister. Those who know her might think she has a deep bond with my sister, but those who don't might think she's dissatisfied with the low severance pay we gave her."
Su Shi was at a loss for words and hurriedly explained, "I didn't know about the severance pay. The nanny didn't mention it. I only kept the two of us together because of our past friendship."
Han Zeyu breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good. I thought you took Yang Wan in because you felt sorry for her. You just said she's still a child and shouldn't be thinking about these things between men and women. Instead, you've lost your childish nature."
Yang Wan, eavesdropping from the wall, gnashed her teeth in frustration. She was old enough to be a mother, so why was she classified as a child? Why was this peasant talking so irritatingly?
