Xia Chan looked at the prefect's beard, which was bulging with anger, and realized belatedly that the prefect was feeling very disappointed with his friend.

It's like looking at a spendthrift woman.

Summer Cicada: ???

Wait, spendthrift woman?

she?

"Lord Wang..."

"Madam, you have to think it over carefully." Prefect Wang continued, "The world is in chaos now. I don't think it's a wise decision to spend so much money to buy a shop in a place that is about to become a battlefield."

"Yes, I understand."

Xia Chan expressed his understanding of Magistrate Wang's reminder.

"But this place will not become a battlefield."

"what?"

This time it was Magistrate Wang's turn to be surprised.

"Why won't it become a battlefield? Don't you know that the war god of Mobei, King Zhennan, has already brought 200,000 troops to Tongtian Pass?"

"With just a wave of his hand, 200,000 Mobei cavalrymen will march south, pass through Tongtian Pass, and arrive at Stone City."

By then, the Stone City will be razed to the ground.

The young lady in front of me is rich and spends money lavishly, but this is not the time to play with money.

If you really want to buy a shop, you might as well go to Chang'an.

Although Chang'an may also become a battlefield, at least Chang'an is a larger city, unlike the tiny Stone City.

Can be destroyed at any time.

But no matter what Magistrate Wang said, Xia Chan seemed determined to buy the shop.

"It's okay. I believe this place won't become a battlefield."

"Even if it really becomes a battlefield and the shop is destroyed, I will accept my fate and will not hold you responsible, Lord Wang."

She smiled, and seemed not afraid at all of the approaching Mobei cavalry.

Prefect Wang was a little surprised.

He narrowed his eyes and looked at the generous, young but plain-looking woman in front of him, and wanted to know whose wife she was.

At this time, if one can still spend money so recklessly, his family must be very wealthy.

Although Magistrate Wang was curious, he would not rashly ask too many questions.

After all, everyone has their secrets, right?

Xia Chan was not a criminal, and he had no qualifications or authority to inquire about her personal situation.

Prefect Wang thought about it and finally sold all the streets that Xia Chan wanted to buy to her.

Xia Chan spent another 30,000 taels of silver.

Because the amount of silver was huge, and Xia Chan didn't bring that much cash (the silver on the surface, in the space, was not convenient to take out), she proposed to pay with silver notes.

Magistrate Wang didn't really want the banknotes.

The main reason is that there are wars everywhere now, and he is afraid that he won’t be able to exchange the silver notes for silver.

It was Xia Chan who made him see clearly that the silver note was from a very large money house in Chang'an City, which had branches in other places. Only then did Magistrate Wang take the silver note.

He held it solemnly in his arms.

Xia Chan took his land deed and walked out of the prefectural government office with satisfaction.

Wei Hua was waiting for her outside.

"Sister, are you okay?"

"Well, go home."

"it is good."

…………

The yard where they temporarily lived was behind the shop facing the street.

When Xia Chan and Wei Hua came in, Xu Ya had just changed the clothes of Xie Wenhan who had just woken up.

Xie Wenhan is six months old. He is growing well because of adequate nutrition.

At just six months old, he could already sit up.

If it were other malnourished children, the speed would not be so fast.

It will take at least six months before the baby can sit up.

Xia Chan and the others came in from outside, and when they saw Xie Wenhan, he immediately reached out his hand for a hug.

Wei Hua smiled and walked forward, "Auntie, hold me."

Xie Wenhan was unhappy and did not let Wei Hua hug him.

"This child is so young and yet he already knows how to dislike people? He just disliked me, right, Xuya? Sister?"

Wei Hua's voice was very loud.

His voice was full of disbelief.

It also means to file a complaint.

Xia Chan reached out and picked up her son.

"He doesn't dislike you, but since mother is here, he will definitely choose mother."

"is it?"

Wei Hua still didn't quite believe it.

Xia Chan gave an example, "What if your mother and Wen Hao asked you to choose one? Who would you choose?"

"My mother."

"Isn't that a truth?"

Xia Chan smiled and handed today's land deed to Xu Ya, asking her to keep it well.

They have been buying shops since they left Lingshan Town, and she gave the deeds of the shops to Xuya for safekeeping.

Although Xuya is the maid who takes care of her, Xia Chan can do many things by herself.

So Xuya followed her and served more as a supervisor.

Industries that manage summer cicadas.

And also help take care of the children.

Just like today.

Xuya received the land deed. Although she knew that Xia Chan had checked it and there would generally be no mistakes, she still looked at it again very carefully.

She personally looked over it to make sure there were no mistakes and confirmed which shops she had purchased, then she put the deed away.

"What would you like to eat tonight? I'll make it right away."

Xuya spoke.

Summer cicadas don’t have any requirements for food.

Let her do what Wei Hua likes.

Wei Hua: "I heard that the roasted lamb in Stone City is delicious. Can we have some roasted lamb?"

"can."

As soon as Xia Chan finished speaking, he heard someone knocking on the door of the courtyard next to him.

She looked at Xuya.

Xuya put away the deed and said, "You and Huanhuan stay here. I'll go open the door."

"be careful."

Although Xia Chan said that he was not worried about the war here, he was actually still a little worried.

Just like now, they have just arrived here and shouldn't know anyone else.

Now someone suddenly knocks on the door, and I don't know who the other person is yet, so I'd better be cautious.

Xuya: "Don't worry, I'll go take a look."

As she spoke, she left the house, crossed the yard and came to the door, and asked the person outside through the door, "Who is outside?"

"Hello, is there a girl named Wei Hua living here?"

The person who spoke was a man with a young voice.

Xuya was a little suspicious and didn't believe it right away. "What do you want to see her for?"

"You are Miss Xuya, right? I am Xie Wenhao."

The young man outside the door lowered his voice.

Reported his identity.

Xie Wenhao!

Xuya had heard of his name.

She removed the wooden bolt from the door and opened the gate a crack.

Xie Wenhao stood at the door in casual clothes and gave Xuya a faint smile.

"Hello."

Xu Ya nodded slightly, and Wei Hua rushed out of the house.

"Xie Wenhao, why are you here? Are you here to see me? How did you know I was here?"

Xuya only felt a gust of wind around her.

Then Xuya jumped onto Xie Wenhao and hung her legs around his waist in an intimate and ambiguous posture.

Xuya looked on from the side, her face slightly red as she lowered her eyes, "Since you know me, then come in."

Xuya stepped back.

Xie Wenhao didn't hesitate and walked in from outside holding Wei Hua in his arms.
