The next morning, after Song Yuehua washed up and had breakfast, she pushed open the door and saw a carriage parked at the door. Old Man You turned his head and smiled at her.
Song Yuehua was speechless for a moment and didn't know when the old man came.
"Morning, young lady!" Elder You felt embarrassed and said hurriedly, "You go ahead and do your work. You can leave anytime."
There was no other choice, so Song Yuehua called Duan Yidao and they got on the carriage to the county town together.
The two arrived at You's house. After inspecting the house, Song Yuehua took out a silver note for 200 taels of silver. Old You took the silver without hesitation and directly put the packed luggage on the carriage.
When Song Yuehua asked, she found out that he planned to go back to his hometown directly after the house deed was signed.
Why are you in such a hurry? Are you being chased by someone?
The two men helped Mr. You move his things onto the carriage, and the three of them took the house deed to the government office to transfer the ownership.
The person I met this time was not a legal advisor, but a chief clerk whom I had rarely seen.
Old You on the side quickly handed over a purse, and the chief clerk did not make things difficult for the two.
After getting the house deed done, the two of them left the government office. Old You looked relieved and bowed to Song Yuehua, saying, "If it weren't for the young lady, I don't know how long I would have to stay here. If the young lady has time to come to Yunmeng Prefecture, I will treat her as a distinguished guest."
Song Yuehua turned aside and said in return, "We'll meet again if we're destined to."
Old You got on the carriage, waved to the two of them, and the carriage quickly drove away.
Duan Yidao suddenly said, "Isn't Old Yi from Yunmeng Prefecture?"
Song Yuehua thought to herself, she bought such a big house, but Duan Yidao didn't say anything and was only thinking about Master Yi.
The two walked around the house and it had to be said that Mr. You was a very particular person. As far as they could see, there was not a speck of dust, so they could just move in with their bags.
If the broker hadn't pushed him into a corner, I'm afraid the price would definitely not be less than 300 taels.
This house is different from the one in Hualin Lane. It has a good location and a good layout. It is a very good house even in their small county town.
After the two of them finished their walk, they prepared to go back. When they were locking the door, Duan Yidao looked at the plaque with the words "You Mansion" hanging on the gate and asked, "Miss, can I make one for you to hang up someday?"
Song Yuehua looked up and shook her head, "Don't worry, just hang up first."
Although this yard is nice, Song Yuehua still plans to sell it if she can make a profit from the price difference. It doesn't matter what name it has.
Moreover, the broker had been eyeing the fat piece of meat for three months, but she just snatched it away. It would be better not to be too high-profile for the time being.
After returning home, Song Yuehua passed by the school and thought of Bian Wu and Zhang Rushan who were preparing for the next exam.
These two have been studying very hard recently, so Master Yi asked them to live in the school, each with a room, so that they would not be disturbed.
The exam is just a month away, and she just happened to have bought a yard. The two of them can spend more than a month in You Mansion preparing for the exam. On the one hand, it allows them to have some peace and quiet, and on the other hand, it allows them to adapt early, so that it will be convenient for them to go to the exam venue when the time comes.
Master Yi thought this was a good idea, so Song Yuehua asked the two people, "I bought a courtyard in the county. It's a quiet and comfortable place, very suitable for reviewing, and it's very close to the examination hall. What do you two think?"
Zhang Rushan smiled and said, "It's naturally great for us."
"Ms. Song, will this cause you too much trouble?" Bian Wu asked.
Song Yuehua said, "If it would cause me trouble, I wouldn't ask for it. Imperial examinations are a major event in life, so you don't have to be polite to me."
Zhang Rushan and Bian Wu looked at each other, then bowed and said, "Thank you, Miss Song!"
Since the intention is to let people prepare for the exam with peace of mind, we have to find someone to take care of them.
The Zhang family happened to be there, and Song Yuehua discussed this matter with them, "Rushan and Bian Wu are staying in my courtyard to prepare for the exam. I wonder if Grandma Jin has time to go over and take care of them?"
The Zhang family was stunned at first, and then Zhang Erniu hesitated and said, "It's our duty to take care of Rushan. Wouldn't it be a bad idea to let them live in the newly bought yard of the boss?"
Song Yuehua smiled and said, "It's not a new courtyard. The imperial examination is a big deal, so we should take care of it if we can."
The Zhang family was deeply moved. According to Song Yuehua's analysis, it would be fine if they lived in the village, but it would not be so quiet after all. Moreover, they had to take a ox cart and queue up to go to the county town for the exam, which would be somewhat exhausting.
The county and provincial examinations are not a matter of one or two days. No matter how good the inn you stay in is, it is not as comfortable as your own home. Moreover, eating outside is not safe. If you meet someone with bad intentions and get hurt, you will have no place to complain.
Song Yuehua analyzed it here by combining various novels and TV dramas, which made the Zhang family break out in cold sweats. They never imagined that it was just an exam, but it was like walking into a den of wolves.
Besides, those who take the exam are all educated people, how could they have so many bad intentions?
"Boss, we will remember your kindness." Zhang Erniu said in a serious tone.
Tang looked at Grandma Jin and said, "Boss, I don't want this month's salary. I will go and take care of them."
Grandma Jin said, "Although I am a little old, I am not that useless. Second daughter-in-law, since you are working in Dongshan, just do your job peacefully. I am here in Rushan, so you don't have to worry."
Tang looked at Zhang Erniu, who shook his head slightly and said, "With mother here, we don't have to worry about anything. If there is anything you need, we will send it to you."
Song Yuehua did not participate in the discussion of this matter. After getting the result, she went back.
In fact, Song Yuehua had another little idea. As long as one of Bian Wu or Zhang Rushan passed the exam, and then she told him some implication, no matter whether this yard was rented out or resold in the future, no one would be willing to bargain with her.
