The splendid years of a talented lady

Chapter 453 Settle a new home (1)
"Oh?" Su Xiazhi turned her head to meet his shining eyes and asked, "What kind of errand did I send you this time?"

"Doctor Hubu." Min Lansheng said quite proudly.

"That... how old is an official?" The ancient knowledge in Su Xiazhi's mind has now become a mess after so many years of accumulation, but just looking at the scholar's eyes, it seems that he is very powerful!
"Positive fifth grade." He raised his head and whispered: "The husband in this yard is of the highest rank. If you want to bully any wife, you can bully whose wife. They will definitely not dare to speak!"

"Pfft!" The scholar's words made Su Xiazhi laugh so hard that her chin dropped, she shook her head, hooked his neck, and kissed his thin lips. She curled her lips and said, "Look at that." How promising are you!"

Even so, Su Xiazhi was extremely happy in her heart!
She was happy for the scholar. Others didn't know, but she knew that when Min Lansheng was in Ping County, he was very strict with his official duties. This was not for his subordinates, but for himself.

He spent a lot of time and effort just to manage a small county well, so now the imperial court has assigned him a fifth-rank official position. Although this is an extraordinary promotion, Su Xiazhi doesn't take it seriously.

In her opinion, Feng Xiucai is not too much for a first-rank official... Her family's scholar is talented!
Xiucai is a fifth-rank doctor, and Mr. Qiao next door is a fifth-rank Zhi Shaoyin. Comparing the official positions of the two men, Min Lansheng is half a grade older than the other.

For the snobbish Qiao family, this half-level is enough, so tonight, Shangxiu used this half-level official position to win the long-lost peace for the lady...

"I don't think the family in the East House is a poor owner, why are they crowded in this crappy place?" After all, after washing up, the two of them squeezed into the same bed, Su Xiazhi whispered next to the scholar.

"It's just to gain a reputation of incorruptibility..." The lady took the initiative to stick it to her arms, and Min Lansheng naturally accepted it. As she spoke, her hands had already touched her underpants: "These foreign counties are transferred or elected. Most of the officials who came up did not dare to reveal their wealth, and each of them would live in a place arranged by the court for a year or two before secretly buying a house in the capital..."

"For example, the adult in the front yard has already settled down elsewhere, so he will pretend to live here for a few days..."

The conversation between the husband and wife came to an abrupt end at this point, and after only a moment, several intermittent and forbearing voices came from the bed...

This dilapidated house is too soundproof. Su Xiazhi neither dared to kick out the lively scholar who was living on her body, nor dared to make a sound, so she could only bite her lip and bear it until she gave birth to the young scholar. When she was ready to move again, she grabbed his ear and muttered: "Enough! You're never finished!"

"How could this be enough..." Knowing that she didn't dare to act like a scholar, she stepped up and said in a shameless whisper: "It must be because the husband didn't feed the lady enough, and the lady's lips are tightly closed. The appearance is dissatisfied..."

At dawn, the husband and wife got up refreshed, washed up and went to the inn to have breakfast, and Min Lansheng went to the Ministry of Finance.

Because he is a new official from another county, he is just familiarizing himself with the situation and has not arranged specific reasons for him, so he doesn't have to get up early to go to court, which is very easy.

Su Xiazhi is still wandering around in the imperial capital looking for a house like a fly without a head...

"Go to the outer city!" After looking at it for a long time, after looking at a few small and old courtyards, she completely lost interest in the houses in the inner city, and decided to walk far away.

After walking for an hour, she looked at two courtyards along the way, and she really saw something!

The housing prices in the imperial capital become cheaper the further you go to the outer city, and the residents of the imperial capital live in groups.

In the north of the inner city, most of the dignitaries live, while in the south of the outer city, most of the ordinary people live.To the east of the outer city, most of the people living there are merchants and businessmen, but to the west, it is a unique place!
Any land and houses over there are not allowed to be bought and sold, and those who can live in the west are all people who have been investigated for their innocence and can no longer be innocent!

It is not an exaggeration to say that the hardest-to-buy yard is in the west just because the current empress has settled her home in the west.

Su Xiazhi had heard about this empress for a long time. Apart from knowing that she was Jiang Wen's sister, she also knew a secret about her: that she was also a time traveler!
But now she is not in the mood to visit this fellow, the family has been making do for two days, Su Xiazhi must use the shortest time to settle down first.

"Go to Nancheng." After having dinner in the restaurant at noon, Su Xiazhi thought about it, and reckoned the money in her pocket. She thought it would be more reliable to go to Nancheng to settle down.

After wandering around Nancheng for a while, she made a decision in her heart: just buy a house here!

Not only is the price of the courtyard in Nancheng much more reasonable than that in the inner city, but the layout of the courtyard is also not bad.

What Su Xiazhi likes the most is the peaceful expressions on the faces of ordinary people here.

That is the stable expression that can only be found in the peaceful years, not in a hurry or impatient, like the days of every family, tepid but full of flavor...

In the afternoon, she quickly made a decision and bought a two-entry house with a spacious courtyard. The gatehouse, the Yimen, the wing room, plus the one-entry courtyard at the back, this house is really beautiful!

Of course, silver is more beautiful - buy it now, 200 taels!

What is the concept of 200 taels of silver?
It is the sum of the salary and silver of Min Lansheng's current official position without eating or drinking for ten years!

It is a number that the vast majority of ordinary people in Daliang dare not even think about in their entire lives.

Su Xiazhi only walked a few times before and after the management of this courtyard, and after carefully looking at each room, he made a decision: "I'm buying it!"

The yard is beautiful, and the silver is also beautiful. The original owner lost his money in business. He was eager to sell but refused to bargain. For each other's time, 200 taels, including the rest of the furniture in the yard, that's the price!"
