After getting the money, Cai Xiaolian discussed with Gu Shouxin about giving Lu Zheng's people to buy them a house in the capital. However, Lu Zheng said that his grandfather had already given him five thousand taels of silver to buy a large three-courtyard house in the capital.
Grandpa Gu's original words were that since the Gu family hadn't split up, the housing was definitely prepared by the parents.
Lu Zheng's identity is no longer a secret in the Gu family, and they are careful to avoid mentioning it to others.
Gu Shouxin and Cai Xiaolian were exasperated. "Old man, you have so much money, why are you staying in the village all this time?"
Zhang was the most shocked. She had taken a liking to Uncle Gu and used all sorts of tricks and schemes to finally get him. She really made a profit!
The old man and woman are really wealthy!
She also realized that the old man and woman were not biased at all. With so much money, why didn't they use it to pay off the second son's gambling debts and instead kicked him out? Is that considered bias?
Although the last three hundred taels were paid back by the second son himself, and the previous few taels or so were secretly given by the old man, the old man and the old woman were really not biased!
Upon hearing Lu Zheng's words, Gu Xin suddenly said, "Father and Mother, since Grandpa bought a house, we should use our money to buy land around the capital. Then, once we move there, we can build a Liansheng Street! Houses in the capital are so expensive, the surrounding areas must be even more expensive than here! If the capital expands in the future, the surrounding areas will also belong to the capital, and their value will skyrocket, won't it?"
Cai Xiaolian gave Gu Xin a thumbs up, "You've even learned how to hoard land!"
Gu Xin chuckled and said, "Mom, Xie Zhiyi told me that her father asked her to pay for the land around Yuzhou Prefecture, and her parents had a fight about it."
Cai Xiaolian: "Her mother doesn't want to buy it?"
Gu Xin shook her head: "It's not that her mother didn't want to, it's that her mother wanted to put her brother's and her own names on the deed after buying it. Her father's concubine told him that if they were to put their names on the deed, it should also be the concubine's son's. Her father said that to her mother, and her mother argued with him. They still haven't reached a conclusion!"
When Gu Xin mentioned Yuzhou, Lu Zheng immediately thought of Yuzhou's development. In his previous life, he returned to the capital after he turned seventeen, and before he returned, Yuzhou Prefecture was expanding.
So Lu Zheng suggested, "Aunt Lian, why don't you go to Yuzhou and see where the land Xie Zhiyi mentioned is? If it's close to the prefectural city, you could buy it. Maybe Yuzhou will expand, and the land's value will double!"
Gu Nian: You can remove it, maybe!
Cai Xiaolian was tempted, but considering that Prefect Xie wanted to buy it, she was unsure if they could actually make the purchase.
Lu Zheng saw through her thoughts and simply smiled, saying, "Prefect Xie has no money. As long as Madam Xie doesn't give it to him, he won't have any. Lord He is currently inspecting Yuzhou Prefecture. If you go to buy it, he won't dare to refuse. The best thing to do is to bring Madam Xie along. If Prefect Xie tries to make things difficult, with Madam Xie there, and since it's under his own children's names, he can't do anything. Besides, who knows, Prefect Xie might be returning to the capital to report on his duties next year?"
Gu Shouxin glanced at Lu Zheng: Please remove "maybe".
And so, the matter of buying land in Yuzhou was settled.
The couple planned to take their daughters to Yuzhou to relax and unwind.
Before leaving, Cai Xiaolian asked her sisters to take off the sandbags from their hands and feet, asking why they were carrying them when they went out to play.
She spoke, and Gu Shouxin naturally didn't say anything, only glancing at the sisters.
The four Gu sisters: "Mom (Second Aunt), we're used to it. We're not used to not having this with us; it feels like flying! Hehe!"
