Soon they arrived at Bailu Academy.

After asking the doorman, I found out that Wang Yueshan had already gone to the capital.

"Mom and Dad, since uncle is not here, let's play by ourselves. Let's find a small inn first, put the ox cart down, and then go play." Zhao Shisheng said.

"If you ask me, my family should buy a house in the county so that we have a place to stay when we come to the county," Zhao Shihui said.

"My second brother is right. Mom and Dad, let's buy a house in the county, even if it's a two-story house. My brothers may also go to school in this county. We have to buy one sooner or later, so it's better to buy it early and it will be cheaper." Zhao Shiying said.

The price of this house will not go down after they buy it, it will only go up. The key is whether they can use it.

Zhao Guocheng and Wang Ronghua looked at each other in bewilderment, wondering why they hadn't thought of this problem.

However, they had thought about buying a house a long time ago, and they just didn't want to do it and kept putting it off until now.

"Let's talk about this. I think it's a good idea. There are lanterns and the like at night anyway. Why don't we find a middleman to look at the house first?" Wang Ronghua suggested.

"Listen to my wife, let's go." Zhao Guocheng nodded and drove the ox cart to find the middleman.

After some inquiries, they found a man named Li Zhongren who specialized in buying and selling houses.

Li Zhongren introduced several houses to Zhao Guocheng's family. The Zhao family spent the entire afternoon looking at houses.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Li, for today. Let us go back and discuss for a few days. We will come to you again after we have confirmed it." Zhao Guocheng said.

"Okay, okay." Li Zhongren nodded and left.

"Dad, which place do you think is more suitable?" Zhao Shisheng asked.

"I am satisfied with the second set." Zhao Shihui was the first to express his opinion.

"Why?" Zhao Guocheng asked curiously.

"Not only does the second set have many rooms, it also has a kitchen, a well, a shop in the front and a courtyard in the back. A house like this can be used for two purposes, isn't it wonderful? We have bought a shop and also a house to live in." said Zhao Shihui.

"I am also satisfied with the second set because it is more cost-effective. My sister taught us to calculate the most favorable price to buy the best things. I think the second set is the most reasonable in terms of price and practicality." Zhao Shisheng said.

"Brother is right. The second set has a better price-performance ratio. But if we just talk about the courtyard house, I think the fourth set is the most suitable for living. It depends on what my parents choose." Zhao Shiying nodded, agreeing with Zhao Shisheng's opinion.

"Our family is a small business, so why not buy a second set?" Wang Ronghua was a little tempted by what he said. Although it would cost several thousand taels of silver, it was a good deal.

In the future, when I come to the county, I can live and open a shop, solving all problems at one time.

"Okay, then let's go for the second set. However, we are unfamiliar with this place and we are afraid of being cheated. I still have to ask someone about the store first." Zhao Guocheng said.

I originally planned to buy a house to live in, but unexpectedly the middleman introduced me to a house with a shop, which the children just liked.

"Why don't we ask Manager Wang?" Wang Ronghua suggested.

Zhao Guocheng nodded, but seeing that it was getting late, they decided to go eat first and then go out to play after dinner.

"How about we go to Fumanlou for dinner directly? After dinner, we can ask Manager Wang about it, and then we can go out and have fun?" Zhao Guocheng's mind suddenly jumped, and he wanted to enjoy himself.

It is said that the food at Fumanlou in the county is the best. He has never eaten there yet, so it would be nice for them to try it today.

"Great, I want to go to Fumanlou." Zhao Shiying was the first to respond.

"Let's go to Fumanlou." Zhao Shihui also nodded with a smile. Who doesn't want to go to Fumanlou?

"Let's go. I also want to see the world." Zhao Shisheng smiled.

So the family went to Fumanlou again.

"Whoa~~" Zhao Guocheng stopped at Fumanlou.

When the servant saw Zhao Guocheng, he was puzzled for a moment, and then quickly went to tell Manager Wang.

Soon, Manager Wang came out.

"Brother Zhao, why are you here at this time?" Shopkeeper Wang came out with a smile.

"Manager Wang, isn't today the Lantern Festival? The children haven't seen the Lantern Festival in the county yet, so I brought them here to see the world. We'll have dinner at your restaurant, and then we'll go out and play." Zhao Guocheng explained with a smile.

"I see. What a rare guest. Then I'll be the host tonight. We'll get a private room and we'll have good food and drinks." Shopkeeper Wang invited with a smile.

"I appreciate your kindness. We have to go out to play tonight, so we won't drink. I'll treat you another day when I'm free. Today we'll just enjoy the atmosphere. I want to come to Fumanlou to see the world, so there's no need for a private room. We can eat directly in the lobby, which will be lively and lively. If Manager Wang doesn't mind, he can join us at the table for a meal. It will be a blessing for me, Zhao Guocheng." Zhao Guocheng was also a little particular about his words.

They don't want to stay in a private room because they are bringing their children here to see the world. The advantage of dining in a hall is that they can listen to the discussions of people around them and topics of interest. The privacy in a private room is good, but the effect of eavesdropping is not as good, which runs counter to their goal.

"Hahaha...so that's how it is. Then it's up to you. Where do you want to sit? Let's reserve a seat first. How about the one by the window over there?" Shopkeeper Wang pointed to the window seat at the very edge of the middle of the hall.

"Okay, that's the location. Let's go in." Zhao Guocheng nodded.

After a few people sat down, the waiter from the restaurant came to take their order.

Manager Wang had already left because someone called him in the box and he would be back later.

A few people asked the waiter what the signature dishes of Fu Man Lou were, and ordered six dishes, a soup, and a dessert based on what they wanted to eat.

The food came up quickly, and then Shopkeeper Wang brought in a jar of wine, which looked like a pound of white wine.

"Brother Zhao, let's not drink too much. It will be a shame not to drink this excellent girl's red wine." Shopkeeper Wang said with a smile, and asked someone to add two more dishes, which was considered a treat from Shopkeeper Wang.

"Come, Shopkeeper Wang, sit down and eat." Zhao Guocheng invited warmly.

"There's no need to sit down and eat. I'll be busy later. But we can have a drink or two. It's my token of my appreciation and it's also equivalent to eating. How about it?" Shopkeeper Wang said with a smile while pouring wine for Zhao Guocheng.

Wang Ronghua also poured a glass.

"Come, try this wine. If you haven't finished it, you can take it home to drink. It's a must-order liquor for wine lovers. Come, let's drink it." Shopkeeper Wang said with a smile.

"Look, we came here to eat, and you have to pay for it. You even have to eat and take things. How embarrassing." Zhao Guocheng waved his hand.

"What you said means that we are related and you still care about this. Besides, this is a token of my heart and I cannot refuse it." Shopkeeper Wang said with a smile.

"Okay, then I'd rather obey your command than to be disrespectful. Let's drink this cup." Zhao Guocheng raised his glass with a smile.

In the end, Wang was pulled to sit down by Zhao Guocheng, and was only let go after he had eaten half his fill. He also found out everything about the house.

At this time, someone in the box came to look for Manager Wang.

After eating and drinking, the Zhao family prepared to pay the bill.
