In ancient times, I just wanted to be a salted fish

Chen Ruotong was secretly calculating in her heart. She dreamed of owning a large villa as magnificent as a prince's palace or a princess's residence.

Imagine how comfortable and free it would be if you could really live there! It would be like standing on the pinnacle of life in an instant, enjoying the luxurious life in this ancient time.

In modern times, it is so difficult to buy a house of your own after working hard every day just to earn a meager salary.

Now that you have come to the ancient times, you must become a real "house sister"! All those unfulfilled wishes will become reality here!

Chen Ruotong's thoughts were running wild like a wild horse, and all kinds of wonderful ideas kept emerging in her mind.

After a while, she said, "Old Zhou, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to run around in the capital and try to buy a few more spacious and grand houses. It would be best if it has three or even four or five courtyards. The larger the scale and the more luxurious the decoration, the better!"

"No problem, no problem, please rest assured, sir.

In fact, Lao Zhou had already noticed several nice houses before, but they were just a little far from the imperial city.

But the environment there is really quiet and pleasant, and these houses are relatively new and occupy a large area, with exquisite construction craftsmanship and look quite imposing.

How about you come with Lao Zhou to inspect the place, and if you like any of them, we can buy them right away, what do you think?" Lao Zhou replied respectfully.

"This is indeed a great idea. We should at least buy a decent mansion in the capital.

In this way, if family members come to Beijing to travel or do business, they can live in their own house. How pleasant it would be!

Compared to an inn, home is naturally more convenient and comfortable!" Chen Ruotong said with a smile.

"Young master, what you said is absolutely right. If we have our own house in the capital, everything will become easy. Hehehe..." Zhou Qian agreed with a smile.

Deep down, Qiao Zien also hoped that his good friend Gu Chuan could stay in Beijing for a long time.

After all, he himself would eventually need to embark on the path of official career, come to the capital to take the imperial examination and seek an official position, and then return to the marquis's mansion to continue his life.

Therefore, he nodded in agreement and said, "Guchuan is right. As the political, economic and trade core of the Liang Dynasty, the capital will definitely be able to obtain more opportunities and development space here." His words were full of expectations.

Chen Ruotong raised her lips slightly and said softly: "Zhou Qian, now that we are in the capital, we have to look at more mansions.

If you come across a good quality property, just buy it, even if it’s three or four or five.” Her tone was relaxed and casual, as if buying a property was just a trivial matter.

When Zhou Qian heard this, he quickly responded, "Yes, sir! Tomorrow morning, I will immediately start to handle this matter!"

Zhou Qian thought: Oh my God! This young master of our family is really rich! Although the family has a lot of assets, it is not possible to be so extravagant! After all, our family is small, even if we buy so many houses, where can we live? We really don’t understand the world of rich people!

As night fell and the lights came on, Chen Ruotong and Qiao Zien did not return to the Marquis' Mansion, but chose to stay in this inn to rest.

After dinner, while everyone was chatting, Feng Liangyu hurried back to the inn. When he saw Chen Ruotong and others, he was immediately delighted and shouted loudly: "Master, Master Qiao, you are finally here! I have heard a lot of new things recently!"

Hearing this, Chen Ruotong, who was originally a little lazy, instantly became energetic, with curiosity flashing in her eyes, and she couldn't wait to ask: "Old Feng, tell me quickly, what's the new thing? I just want to join in the fun and have some fun!" At this moment, she was like a child, looking forward to hearing some interesting stories.

Feng Liangyu cleared his throat and began to vividly describe the new and strange things that had happened in the capital in recent months.

These so-called new things are nothing more than certain people in the Princess's Mansion and the Marquis' Mansion and what happened to them.

Feng Liangyu pretended to be profound and mysterious, just like a professional storyteller. He coughed twice and said, "Ahem, well, listen to me slowly. It is said that there was a horse named Wu Qiming in the princess's mansion..."

Feng Liangyu's actions made everyone in the room burst into laughter. Everyone exclaimed: I didn't expect that this old Feng actually has a talent for acting! Look at his posture, he has mastered it just right!

At this time, Zhou Qian, who was standing by, quickly picked up a cup of tea and respectfully brought it to Feng Liangyu, saying with a smile, "Mr. Feng, please drink this cup of fragrant tea first to moisten your throat so that you can continue to bring us this wonderful storytelling performance!"

“Hahahaha…” Upon hearing this, everyone present burst into laughter.

Then, Feng Liangyu continued, "Ahem, it is said that Wu Qiming took advantage of the fact that the princess was busy preparing money and secretly took all the precious antiques, calligraphy and paintings, exquisite jade pendants, and gorgeous jade crowns that the princess had rewarded him to the pawnshop to exchange for money..."

It turned out that ever since Chen Ruotong dressed up as a ghost and scared Old Lady Wu, she had nightmares almost every night, dreaming that evil ghosts were haunting her and wanting to kill her.

Therefore, she kept clamoring to move, but after scraping together the money at home, she could not find more than fifty taels of silver. How could she afford to move?

Lin would go to the gate of the Sansi Yamen every now and then to block Wu Qiming and borrow money from him. The so-called borrowing money was just asking for money, and he never paid it back.

Wu Qiming did not dare to be unfilial, so he had to bite the bullet and secretly pawn the valuables the princess had given him at a pawnshop, exchanging them for more than a thousand taels of silver.

Therefore, Wu Qiming gave Lin five hundred taels of silver notes, and asked someone at the pawnbroker to rent a large mansion with two entrances on West Street, so that the Wu family could live in it comfortably.

It’s true, since moving into a large house with excellent conditions and environment, Old Mrs. Wu and Wu Cuiwei no longer have nightmares and are in high spirits.

Old Mrs. Wu no longer tormented her family with nagging all day long. Wu Cuiwei became more independent again and started working as a shopkeeper at the Shishangxiufang lingerie store.

The lives of Old Mrs. Wu and her family are back on track, and they are living a comfortable life again.

Wu Qiming seemed to be having a hard time. He seemed to have done something wrong. He felt guilty when he saw Liang Zhilan. He was afraid that Liang Zhilan would ask him where those things went. How should he explain?

At this time, Liang Zhilan had no time to care about Wu Qiming's feelings. She was collecting money everywhere to fill her warehouse!
