After fleeing famine, I have thousands of acres of fertile land

The middleman saw Ye Lao San's hesitation and said, "This house is cheaper than that one. It only costs two hundred taels of silver."

Ye Laosan calculated in his mind that it would cost a lot of money to renovate it.

"Lao Zhang, do you have any other places? This house plus the renovation costs will cost a lot."

The middleman thought for a moment and said, "Yes, there is, but it's not in this area, it's in the south city."

After hearing this, Ye Laosan no longer hesitated.

They couldn't stay in the capital city for too long, and South City was too far from the academy and not suitable.

Wei saw that Ye Lao San wanted to settle on this house, "We still need to discuss with the children, can this house be cheaper."

Lao Zhang was also afraid that other people would take away his business, so he could indeed give in a little to this family.

"The lowest price is one hundred and ninety taels. I'll just state the bottom price." Lao Zhang also saw that they were busy and was anxious to go back.

"Okay, let's discuss it. Are you free tomorrow? We can bring the child to see you."

"Whenever I am free, Shopkeeper Ye, I will be waiting for your instructions tomorrow."

Ye Laosan and his group did not eat and went back to the inn first.

As soon as we arrived at the inn, Matchmaker He came in wearing a flowery dress.

"Shopkeeper Ye, I went to the Zhao family today. They are very kind and the girl is a good girl. She is a good worker."

"How did the discussion go today? When are we going to get engaged?" Wei was anxious. They were not used to staying in the capital city and were missing the chickens and ducks at home.

"Oh, my dear sister, how can you talk about marriage so quickly? Girls are precious, so you have to go through two or three trips at least." Matchmaker He flicked the handkerchief in her hand.

"Sister He, please take care of this matter. We can't stay in the capital for long. We need to buy a house and renovate it."

Matchmaker He slapped her thigh and said, "My dear sister, why didn't you tell me such an important thing earlier? Did you buy the house for the two children to live in?"

Wei slapped his forehead, it seemed that they really forgot to say it.

"It's for the two children to live with. When they get married, let Miss Zhao come to the city to accompany them to study. We are still young and don't need them to serve us." Wei made the family's decision clear.

"This is a big deal. I will go there again tomorrow and let them know how much our family values ​​Miss Zhao." Matchmaker He couldn't stop smiling.

"Excuse me, Sister He, please say something good for us."

Wei took Matchmaker He to dinner. They had just come back from outside and had not had time to eat.

Wei and Shen accompanied Matchmaker He for dinner. The three of them ordered a table full of food and only sent them home after they had eaten and drunk their fill.

The next day, Ye Chenyi brought a few brothers over. Ye Lao San ordered a table full of meat dishes to feed the children. Their faces became smaller due to their weight loss.

After dinner, except for Ye Chenyi and Ye Chenze, the others returned to the academy because they had exams today.

Ye Laosan and Wei took Ye Chenyi to look at houses, while Ye Laoer and his wife took Ye Chenze to buy clothes.

Ye Chenze grew fast, so the clothes he just made were too short and looked weird on him.

Ye Chenyi only took a glance at the location of the academy and was very satisfied with the house.

The son nodded, and Ye Laosan negotiated the price with the middleman, and finally the deal was settled at 185 taels of silver.

After the formalities were completed, they did not rush to renovate.

Matchmaker He has returned with the news, and the Zhao family is very satisfied with the Ye family's attitude.

They originally thought that they would have to spend a lot of effort to persuade their daughter to come and accompany them to study, but they didn't expect the Ye family to be so easy to talk to.

The Zhao family also knew that they could not stay in the city for long, so when He the matchmaker went there the second time, they agreed.

Ye Laosan and his wife felt that the Zhao family was open and honest, so they took the initiative to increase the betrothal gift a little more.

On the day of the engagement, the Ye brothers and several children from the village who lived in the capital all went to the Zhao family.

Ye Fang also changed his clothes and looked like the master of a wealthy family.

The Zhao family didn't expect that so many people from the Ye family would come, so many scholars. They were jealous and wondered when their own children could pass the exam and become scholars.

Mr. Zhao personally received Ye Fang. His identity was different, as he was a member of the Ye family.

The fact that he could follow here was enough to show Ye Chenyi's status in the clan.

Both parties were interested in becoming in-laws, the engagement party went smoothly, and the wedding date was also agreed upon, which was set at the end of the year.

The date was set, and the Zhao family did not allow the Ye family to stay in the inn, but invited them to stay at their home.

The Ye family disagreed. They also wanted to see the yard renovated, and it was not appropriate for so many people to live in the Zhao family.

Ye Fang and Ye Laoer and his wife took the two younger generations from the clan who came with them and went back first, leaving Ye Laosan and his wife behind.

The Ye family and the Zhao family got engaged, and Ye Chenyi and Zhao Keer became an engaged couple.

When the Ye family was renovating the yard, they also invited the Zhao family to come and see the house.

The young couple will live together in the future, so they can raise any opinions together and do the renovation together this time.

The Zhao family didn't hesitate and immediately brought people to measure the size as they wanted to prepare a dowry for their daughter.

The furniture was bought by the Zhao family, so Ye Laosan focused on the house.

The main house and the wing rooms are all covered with wood, the windows are enlarged and custom curtains are installed.

Especially the washrooms and toilets, all of which were built according to the village standards.

They had never seen such a convenient washroom outside. Now that it was done, it would be convenient in the future.

The house was cleaned up and the courtyard wall was repainted white. The whole house, from the inside out, has changed beyond its original appearance.

The Zhao family came to visit and were shocked. Old Madam Zhao and Mrs. Dong were the happiest. From these things, we can see how much the Ye family values ​​Ke'er.

Zhao Ke'er didn't come over both times. She was too embarrassed to come over since they weren't married yet.

Ye Chenyi thought of that beautiful figure and painted the entire yard.

Even the trees in the yard were painted in.

He gave the painting to Zhao Tian and promised to take him to meet the person who compiled the tutorial book before he was willing to help bring it to his sister.

The elders of the Zhao family knew about Ye Chenyi’s little trick, but they pretended not to know and did not stop him.

There was nothing shameful about this painting, so they turned a blind eye and allowed the young couple to get familiar with it in advance.

After packing up these, Ye Laosan and his wife followed the people from Weiyuan Escort Agency back home. The summer harvest was almost approaching at home, and they were worried.

The two of them were sitting in the rented carriage before Ye Laosan remembered to ask Wei.

"I've been so busy these days that I forgot to ask why we couldn't choose the first yard."

Wei curled her lips, "That yard is nice, but the neighbors are not. The girl who lives next door has men all day long."

Ye Laosan didn't expect this to happen. It was indeed inappropriate, with human and mermaid mixed together.

Their son is a scholar. If his reputation is affected, who can they cry to?

"You did the right thing. Our family is not safe when our son is not at home during the day." Ye Laosan was worried that someone might have bad intentions.

Wei also thought so. The environment was very important, and she also hoped that her son would let her become the old lord.

The two of them quickly put the matter behind them and planned to tidy up their house as their eldest son was getting married and they would move into a new house.
