For the next few days, there was no further news from Luo Yingxuan.
But Bling couldn't care less about any of that at the moment.
In the past few days, she has met almost all of Sangshen's friends and visited all kinds of traditional courtyard houses in Kyoto.
After a few days, Buling had to admit that the courtyard house they encountered at the beginning was definitely a stroke of incredible luck.
These past few days, every time Buling went there full of excitement, he returned disappointed.
Take this one, for example.
It's said to be some kind of royal residence, with five courtyards in total; it sounds expensive.
But when they arrived at the site, they found that the five courtyards were indeed five courtyards, and the prince's mansion was indeed the prince's mansion.
However, the owner of the courtyard house has passed away, leaving only six siblings, each with their own opinion: some want to sell, while others don't.
That's not all. The main problem is that the courtyard houses are in terrible condition, and there are many holdouts who seem difficult to talk to.
When Bu Ling arrived at the place, before he even saw the courtyard house, he was almost splashed with swill by the residents inside.
If she hadn't been quick, she would have definitely lost this person.
She then witnessed a spectacular war of words.
After the verbal battle, the other owners of the courtyard house also rushed over.
Then, Bling witnessed another sibling rivalry.
One person says he's the legitimate son and should inherit the family business, another says the Qing Dynasty is long gone and the family business should be divided equally among them, and still others say a married daughter is like water spilled from a bowl, and shouldn't inherit from her maternal family...
The argument escalated to the point where neither side would back down, and a full-blown brawl broke out right in front of Bu Ling...
Bling: ....
Forget it, there are so many courtyard houses in Kyoto, she doesn't need another one.
This courtyard house looks like a big problem. Although she's not afraid of trouble, she's not tired of peaceful life and doesn't want to create trouble for herself.
While the siblings were tearing each other apart, Buling ran away without hesitation.
I'm outta here!
In the evening, after Mulberry returned home
"Lingling, what did you think of the two courtyard houses we looked at today?"
Bling was doing her skincare routine at her vanity, patting and massaging her face, which made Sangs grimac in disapproval.
"Neither will do. One is dilapidated and needs major repairs, while the other is a hot potato because all six siblings disagree."
Mulberry, lying on her back with her legs crossed, said, "It's okay, I found a few more. Let's take our time looking at them."
After finishing her skincare routine for the day, Buling sat down on a small stool and began soaking her feet for health benefits.
"I've realized that none of these courtyard houses that are being sold off these days are easy to manage."
"Either there were holdouts that couldn't be dealt with, or there were several siblings who couldn't divide the property equally, or the houses were so dilapidated that they needed major repairs. I didn't encounter a single truly good courtyard house."
"Oh no, we met one, the same one we were looking at at the beginning."
After soaking her feet, Buling carefully applied a layer of cold cream to them, saying, "I was too impatient."
It might be better to wait until the end of the year or next year to make a move.
Mulberry rolled over, propping her head up and turning to face Bling: "What do you mean?"
"Let's wait a little longer," said Bling. "I'm not in a hurry to wait another two years."
While letting her feet air out, Bling leaned against Sangshen with her legs crossed: "Anyway, we have money."
Yes, money gives people courage.
Speaking of being rich, Sangshen poked Bling's forehead: "Lingling, does that mean our family is very rich?"
Bling looked up and gave him a disapproving look: "Why are you asking this?"
Sangshen found it amusing: "Just curious, judging by how confident you seem."
After a moment's thought, Bling said conservatively, "There is a little bit of money." Then he immediately added, "But not much."
"Look at how stingy you are. I was just asking, I'm not going to take it from you." Sangshen pinched her nose and pushed it up: "Little pig."
Bling slapped him away: "How childish are you?"
Mulberry leaned forward and pecked Buling on the lips: "So childish, so childish."
"Get out of the way, I need to wash my feet." Bling pushed him away, washed off the face cream from her feet, dried them, and her skincare routine for the day was finally complete.
Lying down on the bed, Bu Ling said, "After the summer vacation, I plan to send my daughter to school."
Sangshen turned around and faced Buling: "Isn't it too early? Our daughter is only six years old."
Bu Ling turned to the side, resting her head on her arm: "She's not a child anymore. Your daughter has become the big boss of the compound."
If this continues, things will get really bad.
“Let’s go to the military primary school then. Everyone there is familiar with us, so we can feel at ease,” Sangshen said. “It’s also close to Grandpa.”
“Fine, go tell Grandpa.” Bu Ling passed the buck without hesitation.
Everyone knows that the old man cherishes this great-granddaughter like the apple of his eye.
Now that I'm saying I'm sending her to school, I can't imagine how reluctant I'll be to part with her.
Mulberry gritted her teeth and agreed, "Okay."
Men, aren't they meant to take the fall for their wives?
Sure enough, the next day, when Sangshen mentioned sending Xiaoxing to school, the old man didn't say anything, but his mood visibly dropped.
Mulberry and Buling: Anxious and guilty!
"Send it away, send it away." The old man waved his hand, stood up, sighed, and went back into the house.
"Should we...?"
Sangshen held her hand: "It's alright, Grandpa is just reluctant to part with her for a moment."
Bling lowered his eyes and remained silent.
She understands and respects the old man, but in her heart, her daughter is the most important.
She couldn't possibly let her daughter's schooling be delayed so that her grandfather could enjoy his retirement.
Since Buling let go of her obsession with courtyard houses, she has had a much happier summer.
