Gourmet pastoral: the clever mother raises the cute baby

Chapter 461 Prepare to Settle
Because Tian Xiaowu has heavy military affairs, he won't be able to leave for a while. Tian Xiaoyu is a little impatient. After resting in Xuzhou for about four or five days, he is ready to leave.

Seeing that the imperial capital is just around the corner, everyone is nervous and has some small expectations.

"Oh, I have no regrets in my life. I have traveled so many places and seen so many novel things." Sitting in the car, Wang looked at Tian Xiaoyu and said with a smile, "Thanks to you, otherwise , I still can’t take the next meal.”

"Mom, what are you talking about? Why would you let you live like that? I will take you to more places when I'm free in the future." Tian Xiaoyu also had some small expectations in her heart. , was subconsciously buried by her, she didn't think about it, just pretended it didn't happen.

Holding Yuanxi in her arms, Wang lifted the curtain of the car and pointed outside, and said with a smile, "Xi'er, look, we're almost at the imperial city."

Yuan Xi couldn't understand the words, but he started giggling, the laughter was crisp and clear, which made all the adults smile.

Aunt Ye took Qiaomei and Hongying to sit in the carriage behind, because Qiaomei's reaction to pregnancy and vomiting was a bit severe, so Yuanbao and Mu Cangwu were both in the front carriage.

Since he wanted to settle down in the imperial capital, the problem of accommodation had to be resolved. Not to mention anything else, whether to buy or rent this house was a problem, whether to live long-term or temporarily should also be included in the considerations.

"Cangwu, you have a lot of knowledge from traveling all over the world. Is the house in this imperial capital expensive? Is it better to rent a house or buy a house?" Tian Xiaoyu thought for a day or two, but he was still going to ask Mu Cangwu, after all, he didn't know much about this place. unfamiliar.

Mu Cangwu didn't expect that Tian Xiaoyu would ask himself for such a big matter, after thinking about it, he said, "Are you planning to live for a long time or something?"

"I don't know. If it's not too expensive, it's good to live in the imperial capital for a long time. After all, it's prosperous." If Tian Xiaoyu had been living in Yushu Village, she wouldn't have such thoughts.

But along the way, the larger the city, the more convenient it is. In the future, the three children will still go to school. Gu Yunqing must develop his career. If so, why not settle in the imperial capital?

Mu Cangwu nodded and said, "You're right. After all, you will stay longer in the imperial capital in the future. It mainly depends on what kind of house you want to live in. There are at least seven or eight wing rooms for people like you now. It’s only in the courtyard, and I’m afraid it costs 500 taels for the second courtyard.”

"500 taels? A yard for pure accommodation?" Tian Xiaoyu couldn't help being taken aback and asked in amazement.

Mu Cangwu nodded and said, "This is still a mid-range price. If it is more expensive, 800 taels is not impossible."

"What? It costs 800 taels for a second entrance yard? Could it be that this yard was built with gold?" Mrs. Wang was even more surprised. 800 taels, the most money she had ever seen in her life was the one in Tian Xiaoyu's hand. Zhang Qianliang bank note.

Mu Cangwu smiled helplessly, then nodded and said, "Ma'am, what is valuable is not the house, but the land where the house is built."

Even if Mu Cangwu didn't explain, Tian Xiaoyu would know that this is probably the legendary "golden location".

"Then, can there be a cheaper one? We're in that grocery store in Qinghe Town, with a front yard on the second entrance, and it's only 300 taels for such a good place." Tian Xiaoyu thought about it, but still felt a little expensive.

I bought a house with a total of 1000 taels of bank notes, and my group still needs food, clothing, housing and transportation. I don't know anything about the imperial capital, and I don't know how to do this business. If there is no income for a month or two, then High commodity prices, in my line of work, counting the two children, there are nine people.

Mu Cangwu obviously considered this issue before he said, "Okay, I'll ask for you when the time comes, it's a little cheaper, you women, I guess you still need to find one or two guards by then, although the imperial capital It is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, but the more prosperous it is, the more chaotic it will be."

"I know, what you said makes sense." Tian Xiaoyu hadn't considered such a level, but she only thought of it when Mu Cangwu said it.

But Wang said disapprovingly, "If you want to find a guard, you will have to pay for it. You are a man, Mr. Mu, and you can protect us."

Mu Cangwu couldn't laugh or cry, he was just a scholar, how should he answer.

"Mother, you're talking nonsense again. This Cangwu is a scholar. He doesn't know how to punch. Don't embarrass him." Tian Xiaoyu laughed, looking at Wang with a helpless expression.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wang said, "That's true, let your brother find you two guards."

"That's fine. After all, Xiao Wu must be more familiar with this imperial capital than I am." Tian Xiaoyu nodded in agreement. Now that Tian Xiaowu was there, she felt somewhat comforted.

Before Tian Xiaowu joined the army privately, to be honest, she blamed herself for a long time. If something happened, she still didn't know how to explain to Wang.

The carriage staggered for four or five days, and finally entered the city. It was already the beginning of November, and after walking for several months, it finally arrived at the imperial capital.

Fortunately, he entered the city early in the morning, and went to find an inn to live temporarily. Tian Xiaoyu was ready to start looking for a house with Mu Cangwu. It should be higher, and the layout should be brighter. It seems that the requirements are not many, but in fact it is very difficult to find.

In the end, Mu Cangwu had no other choice, so he went to Hualou to find Lian Zhuo's subordinates. After contacting for a day, he finally found a second-entry house in the T-shaped alley in the west of the city. The conditions fully met Tian Xiaoyu's requirements. There is also a crabapple tree in the yard, a well, six wing rooms, a main room, and a kitchen.

It's hard for Tian Xiaoyu to decide on such a big matter by himself, so he went to see the house by himself, drew a simple picture with pen and ink, and then went back to the inn, planning to discuss it with Aunt Ye and Mrs. Wang.

After dinner in the afternoon, Tian Xiaoyu talked about buying a house. When Qiaomei heard this, she immediately said, "Sister-in-law, this cousin is a general from the third rank. I'm afraid the court gave him a house. Let's go I bought it, how can we live when my cousin comes back?"

"It's true, Xiaoyu, you see, Pingzhi has a house when he becomes an official. Yunqing, an official, should be bigger than Pingzhi's." Aunt Ye remembered this, after all, this Liao Pingzhi's house was boasted by Mrs. Zheng for a long time, and he himself saw it with his own eyes, and it was really good.

It's okay not to mention it, Tian Xiaoyu just remembered it when it was mentioned, but she is not sure, she can't live in the inn all the time, let's talk about it when Gu Yunqing comes back.

　Finally in town.
