Liu Tangxi did not see the "undercurrent" between Wei Hanzhou and Fu Yao.

However, even if she saw it, she would only think that the fault was Wei Hanzhou's.

However, when Fu Yao looked at Wei Hanzhou beside her, she subconsciously turned her head to glance at Wei Hanzhou.

Perhaps he knew Liu Tangxi too well, so when Liu Tangxi looked over, Wei Hanzhou's expression had returned to normal, and he picked up a piece of food for Liu Tangxi with his chopsticks.

Liu Tangxi smiled at him again.

She originally didn't want to eat too much at this meal, but seeing that everyone was eating a lot and Wei Hanzhou picking up some food for her from time to time, she ate a few more bites.

After dinner, everyone gathered together to talk.

With Wei Hanzhou around, everyone had a good rest and started talking more.

Wei Lao San told Wei Hanzhou in detail what had happened at home in the past year.

After that, he emphasized what had happened recently.

For example, the families of Wei Lao Da and Wei Lao Si both wanted to come to the capital to join Wei Hanzhou, but were rejected by them.

"Third brother, it's not easy for you to pass the imperial examination, but don't let them get involved. Your fourth uncle is not a good scholar, so you don't have to pay attention to him. Your eldest nephew from your eldest uncle's family is not as good as your fourth uncle. Although your fourth uncle is not good at studying, at least he doesn't mess around, but your eldest nephew has never done anything serious."

Liu Tangxi thought that these people were not worth mentioning in front of Wei Hanzhou.

Although she didn't know what Wei Hanzhou was doing outside, she could sense that the recent turmoil in the court must be related to him.

Because every time Wei Hanzhou went to the shop with her, they would go to the teahouse opposite, and she had seen Prince Jian and Princess Fuping coming out of that teahouse.

In addition, when Wei Hanzhou was in her house in the suburbs of Beijing, she never secretly went to the Prince Jin's Mansion next door.

"Don't worry, Dad. I understand," said Wei Hanzhou.

Wei Lao San nodded: "Well, as long as you know it."

Having said all this, we naturally have to bring up the most important thing.

"I wonder how much money it costs to rent a house in the capital city every month? How much is the house price? How much is an acre of good farmland?"

After hearing this, Liu Tangxi understood what was going on. It seemed that what Wei Hanzhou said before was right. Wei Lao San wanted to move out. Moreover, he had no intention of taking advantage of them at all.

Liu Tangxi felt very upset when he thought that the family could not live together.

"Dad, this house is not small, why don't we all live together?" Liu Tangxi suggested.

Wei Lao San smiled and said, "No need. We discussed this before we came. Your house was gifted by the emperor, and there are many officials around here. Your brother and sister-in-law and I have to go to work or farm on weekdays, so it is not convenient for us to live with you."

They came to the capital city with the intention of living there for a long time, so they had to have a way to make a living and could not just stay at home every day waiting to be raised by their third son.

They were not educated people and their means of making a living were all manual labor, which was out of tune with the atmosphere of the neighborhood.

Not to mention that the third son's colleagues would laugh at him, even they themselves would feel uncomfortable.

"Dad, I have several houses in the capital. If my brothers and sisters-in-law feel too crowded, they can live in those houses. Those houses are bigger than here. You and mom can live with us." Liu Tangxi said again.

This time Liu Tangxi was rejected by Li again: "No, your sister-in-law and the others have to work to earn money. It won't do if there is no one to look after the children at home. I have to look after Zhongxing and the others."

Liu Tangxi frowned slightly and thought, this is also a problem.

She was about to say something else, but Wei Hanzhou looked at her, indicating that she didn't need to say anything more.

Liu Tangxi had no choice but to keep silent for the time being.

"Dad, how much money does the family have now?" Wei Hanzhou asked.

Wei Lao San said, "The family has saved a lot of money this year, plus the money from the sale of land and trees, and the money you two gave me during the New Year and other festivals, it's almost two hundred taels."

When Liu Tangxi heard that he had saved so much money, he felt relieved. This money was enough to buy a house in the capital.

In fact, it is not easy for farmers to make money. For example, several adults in Wei Lao San's family worked together to make money. They lived frugally and even exhausted themselves. After so many years, they only saved 20 taels. Now they can save so much because of Liu Tangxi's golden finger and Wei Hanzhou's high school.

Wei Hanzhou thought for a moment and said, "This money is enough. Houses in the capital are not that expensive. I can buy two small courtyards in Yunxia Street."

Upon hearing this, Wei Laosan and the others showed a look of relaxation on their faces.

I wish the housing prices in Beijing weren't that high.

"However, houses in the suburbs of Beijing are cheaper. With this money, I can buy a house in the suburbs of Beijing that is about the same size as my hometown, and I can also buy a few acres of land near the house."

These words touched Wei Laosan's heart. Wei Laosan's eyes suddenly lit up and he felt that this idea was much better than the previous one.

After all, farming is his main business, and he has confidence in it. Having land is like having roots and hope.

Moreover, they themselves were poor, while the capital was rich. Living here was like entering a place that did not belong to them, and they felt uncomfortable.

"It would be better to be closer to the capital. My eldest brother and second brother can walk to the capital in a quarter of an hour or two, and it will be convenient for them to go to work." Wei Hanzhou said again.

Wei Daniu and Wei Erhu's expressions also relaxed a little.

You don’t have to rent a house and you can find a job, so you can save money at home.

"Mother and my sisters-in-law can grow some vegetables in the yard or in the fields. Vegetables are worthless in the countryside, but they can be sold at a good price in the city. We can continue to do embroidery, as more people in the capital will buy them."

Li, Zhang, Zhou and others also felt that they had a future.

Liu Tangxi could clearly feel that everyone had relaxed.

This is all thanks to Wei Hanzhou.

Wei Hanzhou really understood his family and knew how to solve the problem by starting with what they cared about most. This was much better than her previous idea.

Housing and livelihood issues are top priorities. Once these are resolved, we can settle down. However, there are more important things.

"These are not the most urgent things. You should also pay attention to Bo Sheng's affairs and find a good husband for him first." Wei Lao San said.

The reason why he agreed to come to the capital was for the future of his children and grandchildren.

With the third son passing the imperial examination, the family's status has obviously improved a lot. If their grandson can pass the imperial examination and become a scholar or a judge, their family's status will really change.

Wei Hanzhou said, "Don't worry, Dad. I have already found a teacher for Bosheng. The teacher is a judge and quite knowledgeable, but he is unlucky and cannot continue the exam due to family problems. When Bosheng has a few days off, I will take him there next time I have a day off. Zhongxing is still young, so I will find someone to teach him next year."

When they heard that it was a promotion, Wei Laosan and Wei Daniu's eyes became excited.

Bosheng also stood up and thanked Wei Hanzhou.

Wei Erhu and Zhou felt relieved when they heard that their son's affairs had been arranged.

Wei Hanzhou was able to pass the imperial examination and become the top scholar thanks to the support of his parents and his brothers and sisters-in-law over the years. He would definitely not forget any of his nephews.

"And Fu Yao and Shu Lan." Having said this, Wei Hanzhou paused and looked at Liu Tangxi.

Fuyao and Shulan?

Everyone looked at Wei Hanzhou in confusion, and then followed his gaze to look at Liu Tangxi.

This matter was discussed by Liu Tangxi and Wei Hanzhou.

Wei Hanzhou didn't mention it, it was Liu Tangxi who made the decision on his own.

Seeing everyone's eyes, Liu Tangxi glanced at Fu Yao and Shu Lan, and said with a smile: "There is a clan school in our mansion, which is specially for teaching girls. It has music, chess, calligraphy and painting. It accepts girls from the Liu family and relatives. There are six or seven girls in it now. I went back to my mother's house a few days ago and told my mother about it, and asked Fu Yao and Shu Lan to go there to study with me."

After hearing this, everyone showed a look of surprise on their faces and remained silent for a long time.

Although they had heard that girls from wealthy families could also go to school, they had never thought that their own girls would have such an opportunity.

Fu Yao was the first to react. She ran to Liu Tangxi excitedly and asked, "Auntie, can I really go to school like my big brother?"

Liu Tangxi touched her hair and nodded: "Of course."

Fu Yao jumped up excitedly.

This year, she didn't learn much new knowledge, only her elder brother would talk to her when he was free, unlike when she was with her aunt before, when she learned a lot. Now that she can continue her studies, she is naturally happy.

Zhou was also very excited, but——

"I wonder how much the tuition is?" Zhou asked cautiously.

Although she was tempted, the situation at home was this: now everyone had to support Bosheng, and next year they would have to support Bosheng and their own son, so they didn't have that much spare money.

It's not that she doesn't love her daughter, but after all, in this world, men studying and passing the imperial examinations can change the fate of the family. Even if a girl has completed her studies, what can she do? She will just be praised as a talented girl and marry into a good family, but she can't become an official. And if it comes to marrying into a good family, it's better for her brothers to pass the imperial examinations, which can improve her family status and marry a better person.

Zhang also looked over.

Upon hearing this, Fu Yao's smile suddenly drooped.

Liu Tangxi shook her hand, looked at Zhou and Zhang, and said, "No need to pay tuition. The female teachers in the Marquis' Mansion are provided by the Marquis' Mansion all year round. Sometimes there are more girls, and sometimes there are fewer girls. If there are more girls, they will teach more girls, and if there are fewer girls, they will teach fewer girls."

Fu Yao's smile, which had just faded away, rose again.

Although Wei Lao San was happy for his granddaughter, he had some more considerations.

"That's the Marquis' Mansion. Wouldn't it be inappropriate for them to go there?"

After all, this is the daughter-in-law's parents' home. If these poor relatives go there, wouldn't it be like begging for money?

The daughter-in-law has done a great favor to their family, and they cannot be too greedy and ask for more.

Liu Tangxi said, "There's nothing inappropriate about it. My mother is in charge of the clan school, and my aunt's relatives from the next room will go there. Fu Yao and Shu Lan are my nieces, and my mother has agreed, so of course they can go."

Although Wei Lao San had long known that his daughter-in-law was a daughter of the Marquis's Mansion, he had never thought of relying on this daughter-in-law, nor did he want to take advantage of the Marquis's Mansion.

However, the matter raised by the daughter-in-law involved the future of her granddaughters.

He just couldn't bear to refuse.

But, he will definitely repay you well.

"Eldest and second oldest, you guys should thank your third brother and sister-in-law. Without your third brother and sister-in-law, Fuyao and Shulan would not have been able to find such a good place to study." The third brother Wei looked at his sons and daughters-in-law.

Wei Daniu, Wei Erhu, Zhang and Zhou quickly stood up and said a few words of thanks.

However, because they are honest people and have lived in the countryside for many years, they cannot say anything fancy.

"You guys must remember this, this is what the third daughter-in-law asked for for you. And Fuyao and Shulan, if you become successful in the future and marry into a good family, you must remember the kindness of your third aunt."

"Got it, Grandpa."

Liu Tangxi felt that Wei Lao San's words seemed a little distant, but she was also very moved by what he said.

"Dad, you're too polite. We are all family. I watched Fuyao and Shulan grow up. Now that I have the opportunity, I hope they can live a good life."

"My third daughter-in-law, you don't need to say more. It's your kindness to let them go to the Marquis' Mansion to study, but they can't be ungrateful."

Sheng Mi was jealous of Dou Mi's kindness, and he was also afraid that his third daughter-in-law would be too nice to his children and grandchildren and would raise them to be ungrateful.

"Grandpa, don't worry, I will study hard and repay my third aunt." Fu Yao said, patting his chest.

Zhang is not good at speaking, and Shulan is not very good at speaking either.

Zhang was a little anxious and pushed her daughter.

Shulan looked at her mother, then at Fuyao, and said, "I am the same as my elder sister."

Wei Lao San nodded with satisfaction.

Soon, the medicine was ready. After taking the medicine, Li and others went back to rest.

After Liu Tangxi and Wei Hanzhou settled them down, they also returned to the house.

After returning to the house, Liu Tangxi was still thinking about things.

Just now, Wei Lao San said that he would live here first and move out after buying a suitable house.

Moreover, he said he would go out to find a job early tomorrow morning.

After pondering for a long time, Liu Tangxi said: "Husband, there is——"

Before she could finish her words, Wei Hanzhou hugged her from behind.

Wei Hanzhou buried his head in Liu Tangxi's shoulder and said, "Xixi, thank you."

Hearing this, Liu Tangxi's heartbeat suddenly quickened.

I wondered what Wei Hanzhou was doing. Why was he suddenly so sentimental today?

"My husband, you are too polite. Fu Yao and Shu Lan are good-looking and studious. We can't let them go unnoticed. They are still young, and it would be a waste of time for them to embroider flowers at home every day. It would be better for them to read more books." Liu Tangxi thought that Wei Hanzhou was referring to this matter.

Unexpectedly, Wei Hanzhou said, "I don't know when you sent a carriage to pick up my parents."

"I thought that my parents were old, Shu Lanzhongxing was too young, and the Marquis' Mansion had an idle carriage, so I went back to discuss it with my mother." Liu Tangxi explained.

"Yeah." Wei Hanzhou responded.

"You're not blaming me for not telling you in advance, are you?" Liu Tangxi asked, "I thought it was not a big deal, and you were too busy recently, so I didn't tell you."

In fact, Liu Tangxi had completely forgotten to mention this matter to Wei Hanzhou.

Wei Hanzhou discovered that his wife really treated his family as her own family.

And, strangely, she did all these things without seeming to consider him at all. Even when she explained it now, she didn't mention him.

To be exact, she didn't do these things because of him, she did them because she wanted to.

He was originally quite touched by his wife's behavior, but when he thought about it this way, he felt very uncomfortable.

If you think about it carefully, when my wife first came to their house, she had the best relationship with my mother and also had a good relationship with her sisters-in-law, but her attitude towards him was not very good.

Their relationship gradually improved after they arrived in the capital, and his wife became more and more dependent on him.

When they were in the village, my wife never depended on him.

So, is it because no one at home is around that your wife starts to rely on him?

Now that my parents have come to Beijing, my wife won't be the same as before, right?

Wei Hanzhou suddenly felt a sense of crisis and circled a little tighter.

However, Liu Tangxi felt that Wei Hanzhou was hugging her too tightly and she felt a little uncomfortable. Besides, she had something to tell him.

So, looking down at Wei Hanzhou's hand, Liu Tangxi raised his hand and bent it.

"Let go, I want to tell you something."

Although somewhat reluctant, Wei Hanzhou still let go.

When Liu Tangxi turned around, Wei Hanzhou had already suppressed the disappointment on his face and returned to his usual cool demeanor.

"What is it?"

"In fact, I have been thinking about this for a long time, but I still haven't figured out what to do."

Hearing this, Wei Hanzhou's expression became more serious. He held Liu Tangxi's hand and sat on the couch beside him.

"If you have any troubles, you can tell me. Don't keep it in your heart, otherwise it will make you sick."

Liu Tangxi took off his shoes, sat cross-legged on the couch, looked at Wei Hanzhou, and said, "This is what happened. Didn't Dad just say that he and his two brothers would go find work together tomorrow?"

When he heard that it was something related to his family again, a strange look appeared on Wei Hanzhou's face.

However, he still responded: "Yeah."

His father did say that just now.

Besides, he has a day off tomorrow and plans to go with them.

"As you know, I own a lot of shops, farms, and fields, so I need a lot of manpower. Can I let Dad and the others help out in my shops or farms?"

Wei Hanzhou didn't say anything and seemed to be thinking.

Liu Tangxi pondered for a moment and continued, "But if we do this, we might be impeached by the historian. In fact, the best way is to let parents live with us and do nothing. But look at Dad's personality, he doesn't seem to want to be idle."

She felt that Wei Lao San and Li didn't have to do anything. They just had to rest at home, plant some vegetables and go for a walk when they had nothing to do.

But from what Wei Lao San said just now, he didn't seem to have such plans.

In fact, Wei Hanzhou is now an official, and his family has no worries about food and clothing. Wei Laosan and Li can just follow them and enjoy the good life.

But she also knows that some people like to stay at home when they get old, while others like to do some work to feel comfortable.

Moreover, seeing how uncomfortable they were today, Liu Tangxi could also sense that they might not feel comfortable with this arrangement.

"Do you have any ideas? Tell me about it." Wei Hanzhou looked at Liu Tangxi and said.

Liu Tangxi pursed her lips and expressed her thoughts.

"It's like this. Didn't Dad and Mom always sell Tanghulu? I have a branch near the city gate, and it will open soon. I thought that Dad and Mom could come to my shop and watch everyone make Tanghulu. Brother and sister-in-law can also go to help. Or, go to the farm to help. You also know that there are not many people I can trust, and many of the managers under me are deceitful. There is a Manager Wang in front, and there will be more Manager Wangs. Dad and brothers are at least people I can trust."

These tasks are very easy and are something Wei Lao San is familiar with, so they can help him pass the time.

Wei Hanzhou pondered for a long time and said, "Not appropriate."

Liu Tangxi's face showed disappointment.

Wei Hanzhou raised his hands and held her in his arms, saying, "I know that my wife has good intentions and wants my parents and brother and sister-in-law to make more money, but my father will not agree to this. Besides, my father and his family are new here and are not suitable to help in the shop. Selling candied haws is not feasible. And, as my wife said, Yu Shi will also make a big fuss about it."

She knew her wife had good intentions, but others would only say that her daughter-in-law hired servants from her father-in-law and mother-in-law to make money for her, and she didn't want her to be misunderstood.

Hearing these words, Liu Tangxi felt even more disappointed. He sighed and said, "Well, okay."

"However, Dad has been farming for decades and has experience in this area. Although the things grown in Beijing are somewhat different from those grown at home, the experience is similar. You can learn by watching more. Instead of helping out in the shop, it would be better to let Dad go back to his old job. He might be happier."

Liu Tangxi's mood suddenly improved. She came out of Wei Hanzhou's arms and looked at him.

"So, what do you mean?"

Wei Hanzhou said, "It's not easy to settle down in the capital, and dad and his family are used to living in the village. So, as I said just now, I plan to buy a house for dad outside the city and a few acres of land. After dad is familiar with farming here, you can let him help look after the land on my wife's farm."

Liu Tangxi felt that what Wei Hanzhou said made sense and nodded in agreement.

"As for my brother and his wife... it's not a long-term solution for my brother to keep doing hard labor. Instead, he can go to the shop to gain some experience. In the future, he can open a shop of his own, or start a small business."

Hearing this, Liu Tangxi nodded in agreement and said, "That's right, I think so too. We are living a good life now, but I always feel uneasy when I think of my parents and brothers and sisters-in-law who still have to work hard. Besides, my parents are old, and it's not good for my brothers to keep doing hard labor. It will be troublesome when they get old. Fortunately, I have a lot of shops, so they can go wherever they want."

Wei Hanzhou looked at Liu Tangxi.

She really thought about his family seriously, taking every aspect into consideration. Moreover, she not only considered the present, but also the future.

"Thank you, ma'am."

"What are you thanking me for? You're so polite. But I can't say this, so let your husband go." After saying this, Liu Tangxi thought of Wei Lao San and others planning to find work tomorrow, and felt a little anxious. She urged, "You should go and discuss it with Dad and the others now, and let them think about it carefully."

Wei Hanzhou felt mixed emotions when he saw that his wife cared more about his family than he did. He had wanted to go and tell her early tomorrow morning, thinking that he wouldn't have to get up early tomorrow and could spend some time with her in the evening. But after hearing what his wife said, it would seem like he didn't care enough if he didn't go.

So, he had no choice but to say, "Okay."

Half an hour later, Liu Tangxi had finished her shower and was about to fall asleep on the bed when Wei Hanzhou came back.

Liu Tangxi woke up almost as Wei Hanzhou entered the room.

She rubbed her eyes and asked in a low voice, "How is it? What did Dad say?"

Wei Hanzhou took off his clothes, walked over and said, "Dad and my brother said they want to discuss it. Let's go to bed first and talk about it tomorrow."

"Oh, okay." After saying that, Liu Tangxi lay down again, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
