Fang Tianying still thinks Jingli is still pregnant.
He asked the servants to carry the luggage and led the two of them around the main hall, through the hanging flower gate, and into the inner courtyard.
There is a lotus pond in the center of the inner courtyard.
The lotus pond had also been cleaned, and the clean lotus leaves were spread on the water surface, with a few flower buds.
Fang Tianying said, "I heard that the previous owner used this pond to raise fish, but now he's moved away, so naturally he took the fish with him."
Qin Zhao nodded.
They had seen this house when they came to the city last time, and Jing Li also liked the pond at that time.
The room had been cleaned by the servants brought by Fang Tianying. The furniture had not been completely moved out. A bed and a low stool were left in the inner room.
Qin Zhao put the backpack by the door, went into the inner room, brought out a stool, and asked Jing Li to sit down.
Fang Tianying took out a house deed from his pocket: "By the way, this is for you."
"You are lucky. The owner of this house happens to be familiar with the businessman I do business with. After I interceded for him, the owner gave me a discount of fifty taels." Fang Tianying said.
"Also, I've already talked to Mr. Shang. If you want to buy wood for furniture, go to him. He'll give you a better deal."
Fifty taels is not a small number. Fang Tianying said this lightly, but Qin Zhao guessed that the truth was probably not as simple as just human feelings.
Fang Tianying's family is a businessman, but he has been exposed to business for so many years since he was a child, and he has an extraordinary talent for business.
He is a good bargainer.
"Thank you." Qin Zhao took the deed and said, "I will return the money I owe you as soon as possible."
He only had three hundred taels of silver from selling the prescriptions, and the rest was borrowed from Fang Tianying. Even if he had gotten fifty taels off now, he still owed Fang Tianying one hundred and fifty taels of silver.
Fang Tianying waved his hand: "Brother Qin, just focus on reviewing, there is no need to worry about these things."
As they were talking, a servant from the outer courtyard came in and said, "Master, everything outside is ready."
"Okay, let them go out and wait first." Fang Tianying sent them away and said to Qin Zhao, "Brother Qin, go to bed early. I won't disturb you."
Qin Zhao asked, "It's getting late now, why don't you stay for dinner?"
"No, no, I still have to go—" Fang Tianying paused, glanced outside, and lowered his voice to say confidentially, "To be honest, I've made plans with a few friends to go to a brothel tonight. I'm leaving tomorrow, and I don't know when I'll be back next time, so I have to have some fun."
Qin Zhao: "..."
Last time, because Fang Tianying talked nonsense about the brothel in front of Jing Li, Qin Zhao was so angry that he almost wrote a letter to the master of the Fang family. But then he thought that the young master was still young and it was probably just a casual remark and should not be taken seriously.
I didn't expect him to really...
After hearing what he said, Jing Li's eyes lit up: "You take me too——"
Qin Zhao cleared his throat.
Jing Li: “…”
Jing Li said calmly: "It's okay, have fun and take care of yourself."
Fang Tianying looked at him in confusion, turned and left without saying anything else.
Qin Zhao and Jing Li were the only ones left in the yard. Jing Li stared at the direction Fang Tianying had left and felt two hands on his shoulders: "Where are you taking me?"
Jing Li's body froze, and he gave a dry laugh: "No, I was just joking."
Qin Zhao played with his hair, brushed it behind his ear, and shook his head: "You're already a father, and you don't know how to be more cautious."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and dug out Jing Li's small fish tank from his luggage.
"I'll go rinse this thing out and refill it with water. Your little brat must have been bored out of his mind these past two days."
Qin Zhao said this, picked up the fish tank and went out. There was a well in the yard. Jing Li looked at Qin Zhao's back as he drew water and sighed with lingering fear.
He stood up, opened the backpack, looked inside, and his expression changed immediately.
The wooden barrel that originally contained the small fish eggs now only contains a bucket of clear water, and the bright red fish eggs are nowhere to be found.
Where did his cub go again???
