A blessed wife leads her husband to wealth and prosperity!

Did they go back?

Chu Jingya was sitting quietly on a chair in the room, holding her handbag, admiring the scene.

Ah, the more I look at it, the more I like it!

If it weren't for the time constraints, I would have asked this woman to make me another bag.

"Your Highness, the person has already been sent out."

After seeing the person leave, Xiang'er went straight back to serve her master.

How much silver did she ask for?

She only asked for fifty taels, saying it was for her labor costs, and the rest for materials, we should settle the bill with the Xu family steward!

He's not greedy! Fifty taels isn't much!

Xiang'er also felt that fifty taels was not much. Such a beautiful and practical item was worth it, even if it cost a hundred taels, let alone fifty taels for labor!

Lin He'er followed the little maid to the back gate, unaware that the master and servant were talking about her behind her back inside the government office.

As I came out through the back door, I saw Meng Xing still standing there waiting.

Madam, are you out?

Are the customers satisfied with the items?

I'm satisfied, otherwise I wouldn't have let them release me.

Lin He'er joked with Meng Xing.

We're not going back today. We've found an inn to stay at and will take a boat home tomorrow.

Lin He'er thought she could leave after delivering the gifts, but the princess had delayed her for quite some time. She guessed that the last passenger ship from the prefectural city to Kaiyang County had already left.

After hearing his wife's instructions, Meng Xing and his wife went directly to the inn to stay.

Lin He'er was quite familiar with the prefectural city, having spent several days wandering around and knowing which inns were cheap.

After the two rested at the inn, Lin He'er touched the silver in her bosom and felt much more at ease.

The return trip by boat went smoothly. The two caught the early morning passenger boat and returned to the city by evening.

When the two returned to the shop, Li was busy in the kitchen.

The lady is back? All went smoothly.

Yes, everything is going well. How's things at home?

Everything is fine at home!

Okay, I'm going back to my room to rest. Call me again for dinner.

Lin He'er returned to her room and saw that Wen Yuning had come back.

Wow, I gave myself a fright. Why didn't you make a sound when you came back?

Wen Yuning returned to the shop in the late afternoon. He was surprised to find his wife still hadn't returned from the prefectural city.

"Did you return the things?" Wen Yuning saw his wife return empty-handed, so it seemed the trip was a success.

Hmm, the princess was satisfied. In addition to the money for her work, she also received a reward of ten taels of silver.

As Lin He'er spoke, she took out some silver coins from her person, and then took out a small box that she had previously hidden in the cabinet. She poured all the silver coins from the box onto the bed and slowly began to count them.

"Brother Wen, we have over two hundred and seventy taels of silver now." Lin He'er happily shared the silver scattered on the bed with Wen Yuning.

What is He'er planning to do with the silver she took out?

The reason Lin He'er took out the money today was because there was something she hadn't done yet.

Back in Xiaoyang Village, she had told her mother-in-law that once she earned some money, she would buy a house in the county town.

We can also bring the two of them to stay in the county town for a while.

Living in a shop for an extended period of time is really inconvenient.

Now we eat in our own rooms or kitchens every day, and it always feels so stifling.

When distinguished guests came to the shop, they could only be greeted at the stone table in the courtyard.

Even Meng Xing could only stay at the Lin family's house temporarily.

With the money I've saved up now, I should be able to buy a small two-courtyard house in the city.

Wen Yuning naturally agreed with his wife's idea.

Let's go to the brokerage tomorrow and have a broker take a look at the yard.

It would be great if we could find a house near the Lin family's place.

After discussing their plans for the next day, the two had dinner and then went to bed early.

The next day, Wen Yuning and Lin He'er went to the broker who had previously bought the house from the Lin family.

Zhang Yaren, it's been a long time!

Lin He'er entered the courtyard and greeted Zhang Yaren!

Oh my, isn't this Mrs. Wen? What brings you here today?

I came here just to talk about buying a house, didn't I?

Okay, okay, thank you for remembering me, Madam Wen. What kind of house do you need today? Just tell me.

When Zhang Dalin saw his previous customers come to his door, he was overjoyed.

It seems I'm doing a good job serving my customers; they're all repeat customers.

Zhang Yaren, this time I came also want to buy a courtyard house with one or two courtyards, the location is closer to the one I bought in Cuizhu Lane before.

Okay, please wait a moment, I'll go to the room and get the notebook for you to look at.

Upon hearing the guest's request, Zhang Yaren went straight back to his room to get his notebook and slowly flipped through the pages.

Yes, madam, there are indeed a few houses nearby, in Wenque Lane, right next to Cuizhu Lane, there is a house with one or two courtyards.

There's one in Songnan Lane next to the county school. There's also a house at the fork in the road behind your shop on the second street, which is also for sale.

When Lin He'er heard Zhang Yaren mention these three places, she felt that the locations were all good for her family, and they were not far from the Lin family home.

Can we go see the house today?

Of course, that's possible. However, the family at the crossroads hasn't moved yet. Why don't we go to the other two places first and then check the family at the crossroads last?

Okay, I'll listen to you, bro.

Since the distance wasn't far, the three of them simply walked there.

The first place we looked at was the house that Zhang Yaren had just mentioned.

The first and second courtyard houses in Wenque Lane.

Madam, this house is currently uninhabited. The original family did not live here for long. Their son was doing business elsewhere, but something happened to him, so the family decided to sell the house and move back to their ancestral home.

As they were talking, they arrived at Wenque Lane.

Wenque Lane is not like Cuizhu Lane where the Lin family lived.

The residents here are mostly ordinary families from the county town. And each house is small, all close together. So when Lin He'er entered this alley, she felt that there were quite a few families living here.

Zhang Yaren unlocked the gate and led the two men into the courtyard.

As soon as Lin He'er entered the courtyard, she sensed that the house was somewhat dilapidated.
