Lucky Farmer Girl: I rely on metaphysics to support my family

Chapter 807 Imagine
Tang Wan sighed inwardly, but didn't show it on her face. She reached out and patted Tang Mubai's head gently, saying, "How could your father, mother, and sister bear to leave you? Father made this arrangement because he values ​​you and hopes you can focus on preparing for the exam. With Master Zheng teaching you everything he knows, you'll have a better chance of success when you take the exam. This is for your future."

Tang Mubai knew in his heart that his second sister was right, but he was still troubled by sadness and reluctance.

So he simply nodded slightly and lowered his head, saying nothing more.

Tang Wan knew he needed time to process his emotions, since the whole family had left, leaving him all alone.

Fortunately, there were still companions and familiar servants around.

Otherwise, it would be even more painful.

Tang Wan didn't disturb him, letting him digest the information for a moment before speaking in a gentler tone: "The journey from the northern desert to the capital is indeed long, but we can keep in touch by letter. If you can participate in the examinations next year, you can come to the capital to reunite with us sooner. When that time comes, your second sister will personally go to the city gate to pick you up, okay?"

Tang Wan paused for a moment, then continued, "When you get to the capital, I'll take you to the most famous restaurants and to see the most bustling streets. If you see anything you like, I'll buy it for you as long as I can afford it!"

As Tang Mubai listened to his sister's description, a hint of longing appeared in his eyes. He nodded vigorously, "Yes! I will definitely study hard and go to the capital to find you as soon as possible!"

"That's the kind of good son of the Tang family." Tang Wan smiled with satisfaction, and then instructed, "At Master Zheng's residence, you must not only study diligently, but also take good care of yourself. Uncle Chen will stay in Mobei for the time being, so let Uncle Chen handle anything."

"I understand, Second Sister." Tang Mubai's voice was no longer so downcast.

Seeing that her younger brother's mood had finally improved, Tang Wan smiled slightly, and her mood improved as well.

Tang Wan patted her younger brother on the shoulder, got up to say goodbye to her parents, and went back to her room. Her older sister, Tang Jing, probably saw her comforting her brother and went back on her own.

Just as she stepped out of the main house, before even reaching her own room, Er Ya's slightly excited voice echoed in her mind: "Master! Is Master home?"

"I'm here!" Tang Wan replied quickly.

"Master! I've accomplished something amazing!" Er Ya's clearly excited voice rang out again.

"Oh? Tell me about it!" Tang Wan said gently, responding to Er Ya at the right time.

Er Ya didn't keep you in suspense and said directly, "I bought a nice mansion in Qiao County, not far from the capital! The original owner was a wealthy merchant who had retired and was in a hurry to sell. The price was right, and the place was big enough. It had four courtyards, two large warehouses, and a sizable garden, which perfectly met your requirements!"

Qiao County?

Upon hearing the place name, Tang Wan stopped in her tracks, pondered for a moment, and then remembered why the name Qiao County sounded so familiar.

When she returned to the capital with the Prince of War last time, she stayed overnight in Qiao County. It was then that she met the son of Vice Minister Wu.

As I recall, that young master Wu seemed to have encountered some trouble. The specific details are somewhat vague now, but I remember that I once cast a divination for him and gave him a few pointers.

Qiao County is indeed geographically important, serving as the last major hub before entering the capital, and enjoys convenient transportation.

Er Ya has a good eye for property here.

This residence serves as both a transit point for supplies and a secret stronghold, making it suitable for both entry and exit.

Tang Wan praised, "Well done, Er Ya. The location was excellent. Have all the contract formalities been completed?"

"Don't worry, Master! It's all taken care of, everything is aboveboard, there will be no trouble!" Er Ya assured her. Tang Wan trusted Er Ya the most, and her words reassured her even more. After all, Er Ya's status made it impossible for her to betray her, and Er Ya knew all her secrets.

Therefore, Tang Wan had all the houses she bought along the way placed directly under Er Ya's name.

Then Er Ya asked, "Should I continue on to the next city to find a suitable house, or do you have other plans?"

Tang Wan thought for a moment and replied, "You stay in Qiao County for now and take good care of the house, especially the storeroom. Make sure it's safe and dry. Once you've arranged all that, then head to the next place!"

“Okay! I’ll take care of it!” Er Ya readily agreed.

Tang Wan thought for a moment, then asked, "Qiao County is not far from the capital, so houses there must be expensive. How much silver do you have left? Is it enough to buy another house in the next place?"

Er Ya thought for a moment and replied, "The house in Qiao County is a bit expensive, but because the location isn't that great, the price isn't too bad. It comes to 2,200 taels in total. I still have 2,300 taels on hand. The next city will be further away from the capital, so maybe the price will be cheaper."

Tang Wan was surprised that Er Ya still had so much silver left. She estimated that it would be enough to buy another house, so she replied, "Okay, then after you finish taking care of the house, you can head to the next city. You can't manage such a big house by yourself, so you might as well buy a family to take care of it and look after it."

"By the way, make sure the warehouse is tidied up and locked up by yourself, and don't let anyone touch it. I need to put grain in there later, and it's not easy for others to know," Tang Wan instructed.

“Okay, I understand, Master!” Er Ya quickly replied.

Cutting off contact with Er Ya, Tang Wan continued walking back.

Back in the room she shared with her sister, the lights were already on. Tang Jing was sitting by the embroidery frame by the window, doing needlework by the light, a faint smile playing on her lips.

Seeing Tang Wan enter, she put down her needlework, smiled, and waved, "Wan'er is back."

Tang Wan sat down on the embroidered stool next to her sister. Seeing the undisguised joy in Tang Jing's eyes, she understood and couldn't help but smile as well: "Sister seems to be in a very good mood today. Are you thinking about where to go or who to see once you get to the capital?"

Tang Jing blushed slightly at her sister's teasing and said reproachfully, "You're so sharp-eyed!"

She gazed out at the deep night and said slowly, "Speaking of which, it's been almost a year since I left the capital. I wonder what it's become. And what about those close friends? I wonder how they are now."

After all, she hadn't gotten engaged after coming of age, and then something happened in her family. Most of her close friends, who were about the same age as her, had already gotten engaged before leaving the capital, and she guessed that the only two left should have gotten engaged by now.

If everyone gets married, it might not be so easy to see each other.

And I don't know if I'll ever see that person again.

Seeing Tang Jing lost in thought, Tang Wan suppressed a laugh, waved her hand in front of her sister, and teased, "Snap out of it!"

Tang Jing was a little embarrassed and annoyed by her words, and turned away, saying, "You naughty girl, I still have to do my needlework, I'm not talking to you anymore!"

Tang Wan wasn't deterred by her words, but instead smiled and replied, "Stop showing off, watch your eyes!"

And so, the two sisters chatted intimately for a while, dreaming about their future life in the capital and wondering about the changes in their old friends.

Updated! Have a great weekend!
