She stopped packing, took a deep breath, and then said, "General, Nanny Song's nephew is a real estate agent. He's very knowledgeable about the sales and rentals of many mansions and shops in this area. That's why I'm looking for him."
Xiao Yan was not calm anymore: "You want to buy a house, do you want to move out?"
Chen Yao: ...
Very good, he gets the point.
Xiao Yan added, "If you don't like the courtyard you live in now, just move to another one. You can live in any courtyard you want."
Because Chen Yao fed Xiao Yue most frequently, she was treated better and was even able to live in a separate large room in Xiao Yue's yard.
The other wet nurses all lived in pairs in the same room.
Chen Yao's desire to buy a house has nothing to do with this; it's for other reasons, and besides, she's actually living quite comfortably now.
However, after hearing what Xiao Yan said, she couldn't help but feel like teasing him.
So, she gave him a devilish smile and said, "General, are you sure? I can live in any courtyard I want."
Xiao Yan slowly picked up the water cup and took a sip, saying with certainty: "Of course."
Chen Yao blinked at him and stretched out her tone, "Then - if I...want to live in your Qinglin Courtyard, General...is that possible?"
"Cough, cough, cough..." Xiao Yan was suddenly choked by the water. While patting his chest to relieve the pain, he did not forget to ask Chen Yao expectantly: "Are you, are you telling the truth?"
Chen Yao: ...
She smiled and answered him, "Of course... not really."
Xiao Yan: ...
very good.
One day...
He wanted her to live in Qinglinyuan...
But right now, what he wanted to ask her was, besides buying the house, if there was anything else she needed help with, so that he could see if there was anything he could do to help.
Thinking of this, he asked directly.
Chen Yao thought about it and decided to tell him directly.
"General, I'm thinking of buying a small house. It will be my own home in the future."
"This way, I won't have to live in that man's house in Shanhe Village anymore."
When Xiao Yan heard her say this, he felt his heart filled with deep pain.
For so many years, Chen Yao has been abandoned by her closest relatives. She has a home but cannot return to it, and can only live alone in the old man's shabby house.
Therefore, for her, truly owning a small house that belongs only to her should be a kind of comfort.
Xiao Yan himself did not own many houses, but he had bought some extra land and farms in the suburbs.
He thought silently and thought that his only residence in the capital seemed to be this imperially granted general's mansion and a two-story house he bought a few years ago.
However, the two-story house has not been repaired or maintained for several years. If it is given to Chen Yao now, it will seem too shabby.
If housing didn't work, Xiao Yan started thinking about other things.
He does own quite a few shops, which he usually leaves to Nanny Song and Uncle Li to help look after.
He could definitely give some of it to Chen Yao.
Because he really felt that her experience was very distressing.
In addition, he can also give her silver, with which she can buy what she wants.
Chen Yao didn't know that her words had caused Xiao Yan to think a lot in such a short period of time.
She just continued calmly:
"In addition to the house, I also want to rent a small shop and try to do some small business to see if I can make it a success and make a living."
"After all, the little lady will grow up eventually. In a few months, she won't need me as her wet nurse anymore."
Hearing this, Xiao Yan almost blurted out: She doesn't need you, I need you.
However, he stopped talking in time, lest Chen Yao misunderstand what he wanted to express after he really said it. If she misunderstood it, it could easily become: He needs a wet nurse.
That's strange.
Xiao Yan blushed and tried to control himself from letting his thoughts run wild.
Chen Yao finished saying everything she needed to say, and then suddenly saw Xiao Yan's blushing face.
Chen Yao:?
What happened?
She didn't say anything weird, did she?
Why does he have such an expression on his face?
Seeing Chen Yao's gaze, Xiao Yan collected his thoughts and said to her:
"I'll give you one thousand taels first. Use it to pick out a nice house. Don't let yourself get hurt."
"Also, as for shops, I own quite a few. I'll have Nanny Song and Uncle Li sort out the brochures and give them to you to see if there's anything you're looking for."
Chen Yao smiled and said, "General, I appreciate your kindness, but this is too much. I can't accept it."
Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows and said, "Take them all. When you marry me in the future, they will all be yours. It doesn't matter whether you take them early or late.
Chen Yao, in the General's Mansion, the General's wife will be in charge of all financial power, you should experience it in advance."
Chen Yao blushed and said angrily, "Who said I want to marry you?"
Xiao Yan leisurely pulled her into his arms, kissed her vigorously several times, and then said in a half-threatening tone: "If you don't marry me, who else do you want to marry? Hmm? That old man from Shanhe Village? Or Nanny Song's nephew? Or, some other man I don't know?"
Xiao Yan felt suffocated just thinking about it.
"Chen Yao, marry someone else? Don't even think about it."
As soon as the words fell——
The passionate and turbulent kiss, with an irresistible meaning, swept Chen Yao away.
