However, her disappointment disappeared immediately. Buying a bungalow is better than having nothing, not to mention that it is a house in the capital.
"Okay, okay, I'll help you find one. I've inquired before, and a house like the one we rent, with a main room, three rooms, and a kitchen, would cost about one thousand taels." Zhao Xiaojuan said.
Li Qingyun nodded. He could find a way to raise one thousand taels of silver, but he couldn't raise more than that.
"Okay, help me choose first, and I'll come over to look at the house next time I have a day off."
"Okay." Zhao Xiaojuan agreed readily.
As long as the house is bought, she and her elder brother will have a place to stay and no longer have to rent a house. When Zhao Xiaojuan thought of this, she was filled with joy.
"Qingyun, let me take you to have lunch. A store has opened over there, and I heard the food is delicious." Zhao Xiaojuan couldn't help drooling when she thought of the new store on the main street.
But she had no money, so she was waiting for Qingyun to take her to try it.
Li Qingyun waved his hand and said, "No, I want to go back."
After saying this, Li Qingyun turned and left.
Since he has decided to plan for the future, Li Qingyun has to find a way to get money. Before he gets the money, he has to be frugal.
As for the delicious food his sister mentioned, Li Qingyun was not interested in it at all. He had eaten everything in the Duke's Mansion. Even if he had never eaten it before, he could ask for it when they went out to eat, so he wouldn't have to spend his own money.
When we returned to the Duke's Mansion, the Duke of Wei and his wife were preparing to have lunch.
"Hey, Qingyun, why are you back?" Old Madam Li was a little curious. When he left in the morning, he said he was going to play with his classmates, and he always came back after lunch.
Li Qingyun smiled bitterly, "Grandma, it's too hot outside. I don't want to go."
"Well, it's quite hot indeed. Come, have a bowl of soup." Old Madam Li personally served him a bowl of winter melon and pork ribs soup and handed it to Li Qingyun.
Li Qingyun took the bowl and said obediently, "Thank you, grandma."
There were only the Duke of Weiguo and his wife and Li Qingyun having lunch. Li Heng went to see Master Yan and usually would not come back at noon.
After lunch, Li Qingyun stood up and said, "Grandfather, Grandma, I'm going back to the study."
"Why are you working so hard, kid? Take a rest." Old Madam Li disagreed. How could she read a book right after a meal?
Old Madam Li was truly heartbroken for Li Qingyun. Even after she found out that he was not the real Li Heng, her love for him did not diminish.
Li Qingyun did not insist. He smiled and sat back next to Old Madam Li. "Okay, I'll chat with grandma for a while and go to the study later."
"That's right. You have to combine work and rest when doing anything." Duke Weiguo also nodded in agreement.
"Kid, what's the fun in accompanying an old man like me? You should make more friends with your classmates." Old Madam Li took Li Qingyun's hand and persuaded him earnestly.
Qingyun is different from Heng'er, he doesn't have many friends. Old Madam Li still hopes that he can go out more and make more friends.
Li Qingyun hesitated for a moment before speaking awkwardly, "My classmates are too expensive. I feel a little uncomfortable with them."
"Yeah." Old Madam Li glanced at the Duke.
They understood what Li Qingyun meant.
However, the students of the Lu Academy were all rich or noble, so it was possible that Qingyun would feel uncomfortable with them. They had neglected it.
"Qingyun, don't worry. From now on, grandma will give you 10 taels of silver every month. You can use it to socialize with your classmates. If you don't have enough, just tell grandma."
Li Qingyun smiled and nodded, "Thank you, Grandma."
