Zisu did not accept the ten thousand taels of silver. Instead, she asked Jiang Shichang, "Uncle Jiang, could you please help me buy two estates in the suburbs of Beijing? Ideally, they should be adjacent, one in my younger brother Shangguan Yi's name and the other in mine. The estates don't need to be very large; about thirty mu each would be enough. Of course, it would be best if they had mountains and water, but a larger one is also fine."

Jiang Shichang: "Okay, I'll have my steward handle it personally tomorrow. I'll definitely help you buy a suitable estate!"

Zisu bowed deeply and said, "Thank you, Uncle Jiang. I'm so grateful for your help!"

Jiang Shichang waved his hand: "It's no trouble at all. You've already called me uncle, and you're a great contributor to Good Days Restaurant. It's only right that your uncle helps out with a little something!"

This child is so sensible! If she were my daughter, how wonderful that would be! If I have the chance, I should let Hua'er spend more time with her and learn from her.

Hua'er was Jiang Shichang's youngest daughter, Jiang Hua, whose nickname was Hua'er.

Jiang Shichang was very efficient. Ten days later, he sent a letter inviting Zisu to the Good Days Restaurant. Upon receiving the letter, Zisu, accompanied by Xiangli, Aunt Li, and Li Mao, set off for the capital early the next morning.

Before leaving, Yu Zhe insisted on leaving Li Mao behind. Firstly, so that Li Mao could reunite with his parents, and secondly, because Zi Su often had to go out, Yu Zhe felt that he would not feel at ease without someone skilled in martial arts protecting her.

Li Mao had worked hard in Yi County for two years, and his martial arts skills had improved significantly. Several second-rate masters were no match for him. This was because he had faced many risks on his journey there and back. After Shen Laihui arrived in Yi County, he patiently instructed everyone to improve their martial arts abilities. Everyone worked diligently and practiced martial arts diligently, not neglecting either their duties or their training.

The estate wasn't far from the capital, only about fifty li away. Jiang Shichang put down his work and personally took Zisu to see the estate.

As per Zisu's request, both farms have mountains and water.

Zisu's estate includes ten mu of fertile farmland, twenty-five mu of dry land, and about fifty mu of forest. This estate cost a total of six thousand six hundred taels of silver. Shangguan Yi's estate includes eleven mu of fertile farmland, thirty mu of dry land, and about twenty mu of forest. This estate cost a total of three thousand three hundred taels of silver.

The two farms are right next to each other.

Jiang Shichang explained to Zisu, "The estate under your name has a hot spring, so it's a bit more expensive. These two estates originally belonged to the same family, but that family is going back to their hometown, so they had to sell the estates. Otherwise, it wouldn't be easy to buy such good land!"

"Yes, I know, thank you, Uncle Jiang!" Zisu nodded. In her previous life, she knew that estates within a hundred miles of the capital were highly sought after. Even if she relied solely on her own abilities, she wouldn't be able to buy an estate in this location even after several years.

Finally, she had a farmhouse! Zisu felt a huge weight lifted off her shoulders. Now, no matter what happened in the future, she wouldn't have to worry about starving! A farmhouse in such a location would definitely be worth ten times more in five or ten years. And if she encountered any difficulties then, she could sell it for a large sum of money.

Jiang Shichang added, "My family also has a farm nearby, about five miles away. Don't worry, I will have the manager of my farm come and check on it every few days."

The estate and its tenants were largely the same as before, with the estate manager being introduced by Jiang Shichang. However, Zisu didn't use any of the shifty-eyed, cunning individuals among them.

Those people tried to throw a tantrum, crying and threatening, but Jiang Shichang gave them a fierce look: "Insolence! How dare you offend the Princess's relatives?!"

In short, he successfully scared those people so much they ran away in terror.

Zisu couldn't help but sigh: It's so good to be rich and powerful!
