Liu Laoshi handed him the box in his hand and said, "All the things in it have been transferred to their names." He pointed at Xiao Chiye and his wife.

After the official looked up at Xiao Chiye, he lowered his head and took out the land deed from the box. He checked its authenticity, then turned around and found the booklet of Liuyang Village on the shelf at the back.

He turned to the page with Liu Laoshi's name on it, and then looked at the deed he brought over: "Are you going to transfer all of it?"

Liu Laoshi nodded: "Yes."

The official nodded and carefully checked the number of rice fields and the amount of land above. After confirming that they were correct, he took out the land deed and filled it out again.

He raised his head and looked at Xiao Chiye: "Name, household registration."

Xiao Chiye: "Liuyang Village, Xiao Zisen."

Xia Wanniang looked at Xiao Chiye and roughly guessed why he ended up under Xiao Zisen's name.

His current identity is too sensitive and it is not suitable for him to have any property under his name.

The two youngest children had not yet been given names when they were born, so they were not included in the Xiao family's genealogy at the time.

Liu Laoshi was not so concerned and was waiting for the officials to replace the land.

The official filled out the deed and asked, "Who will pay for it?"

Xia Wanniang came over and said, "We'll pay."

Official: "30 wen each, a total of 80 qian and 40 wen."

Xia Wanniang gave the official one tael of silver and said, "Sir, you don't need to change the money. The rest will be our tribute to you."

The official raised an eyebrow and looked at her, his smile becoming more genuine: "I've got it."

Xia Wanniang took the deed, stuffed it into her backpack and threw it into the space.

After coming out of the yamen, Xiao Chiye temporarily parked the carriage at the gate of the yamen, and returned to their house in the city with Liu Laoshi.

Xia Wanniang took out two hundred and sixty-one taels of silver from her bag and placed them on the table: "Uncle Liu, Aunt Xiang, this is the money we use to buy the land, keep it safe."

Xiang looked at the extra tael of silver and said, "Didn't we agree on 260 taels?"

Xia Wanniang: "Business is business, it's what it is. You will live on this money in the future, so why would you complain about having too much money?"

Xiang was a little speechless for a moment: "Then I won't be polite with you. If you come to Luocheng in the future, come to my house and sit down."

Xia Wanniang knew that they still had some things to pack at home, so she and Xiao Chiye did not stay long and went directly to Sanwu Pavilion.

Sanwu Pavilion also opened for business today, and was a little stunned when it saw the two people coming in.

This is the first time that I have business coming to my store on the third day of the Chinese New Year.

The waiter came over quickly and asked: "Are you two here to do business?"

Xiao Chiye nodded: "I wonder if Huo Si Niang and Huo Ya are here?"

"Yes, yes, yes. She just arrived. You two take a rest. I'll ask her to come out." The waiter asked the two to find a seat and sit down.

When Huo Si Niang heard the waiter say that there was a customer looking for her, she was still a little confused. When she came to the front hall and saw the two people, she laughed and said, "Why are you here at this time?"

Xia Wanniang smiled and said in unison: "Happy New Year, Fourth Sister. I thought you should be open today, so I wanted to ask if the shop at the entrance of the alley has been rented out."

Huo Si Niang looked at the two of them and asked, "Have you thought about this?"

Xia Wanniang nodded: "Yes, I've thought about it."

Huo Si Niang took out the contract and placed it in front of the two people: "Here is the contract, you can take a look at it. If you don't understand anything, just ask me."

Xia Wanniang took a look at the contract. It was a simple rental contract. The amount, lease term, and penalty for breach of contract were all clearly stated.

She discussed it with Xiao Chiye and decided to rent the house for five years, so that they wouldn't have to find a new house if the landlord decided not to rent it.

Seeing that the two were straightforward, Huo Si Niang wrote a contract for them and asked her servant to take it to the government office for filing.

Xia Wanniang then asked about the commission: "I wonder how much commission I should give Sister Huo?"

Huo Si Niang: "One month's rent, if it is a house sale, it is 2%."

Xia Wanniang was a little curious: "Is the commission of all dental shops like this?"

Huo Si Niang gently shook her head: "Official teeth are different."

Xia Wanniang was a little curious: "Are there official and private pharmacies?"
