Chapter 30: buy a yard

"Success, what do you want to eat?" Su Hu naturally followed her wishes.

"Steamed egg custard, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, stewed tofu with Chinese cabbage, millet porridge."

Su Qingluo considered that Xiaotuanzi had a weak stomach and couldn't eat too greasy, so all he wanted were light vegetarian dishes.

"Would you like some braised pork?"

Su Hu thinks that the food is too vegetarian, which is not conducive to the growth of children.

"It's okay to have some."

Su Qingluo thought secretly, she would eat it by herself, and not let Xiaotuanzi see it.

"Okay, Dad will bring it to you."

Satisfied, Su Hu nodded and strode towards the stairs.

Su Qingluo watched her father leave, and quietly closed the door. Before she could turn around, Xiaotuanzi's soft and aggrieved voice came from behind: "Sister, Xuan'er also wants to eat meat."

Su Qingluo: "..."

This child, why is he so annoying!

Sleep a little longer, can't you!

*************

Early the next morning, Su Hu and his wife went to the opposite hospital to visit the unconscious woman.

The woman was fatal, and she had a high fever in the middle of the night last night. Fortunately, the doctor who took care of her found it in time, drank the medicine, and passed the dangerous period.

The doctor was very pleased to see Su Hu and his wife in a good mood, and he promised that they would wake up within three days.

Xiaotuanzi also went out the door, clinging to the little sister all the way, insisting that she be hugged alone.

Seeing that there was a business coming to the door, the tooth shop naturally received it attentively, and sent a special person to take the family around the county town all morning, recommending two moderately priced houses.

The two houses have their own advantages and disadvantages, the one with a lower price is too far away from Mingshui College, and the environment is poor.

The one with a higher price is near Mingshui College, only a few hundred meters away from the gate, the yard is bright and atmospheric, and the house is relatively new.

However, the price of 3,500 taels was already beyond the budget of Su Hu and his wife.

The children all liked the new house near the college, and Su Qingluo kept acting coquettishly, offering to buy it.

The couple gritted their teeth and paid the deposit, planning to go to Jubaozhai to sell pearls first, and then come back tomorrow to pay the rest of the house payment.

The two discussed with the clerk, and the clerk of the dental shop naturally agreed. Seeing that his husband and wife wanted to buy it, they smiled from ear to ear.

***********

In the backyard of Jubaozhai, the young young owner stood in front of the window with a depressed face, complaining to the old housekeeper non-stop.

"The empress really has lost her head. She favors you without limit. Now she wants to order a dress of the same style for him. For her 40th birthday, let your gentleman accompany her to attend the feast."

"The Ministry of Internal Affairs is in a hurry to ask for pearls, but there was a typhoon in the East China Sea and natural disasters. The pearl breeding suffered heavy losses, and the output was less than one-tenth of the previous year. Not to mention the longan-sized Dongzhu, even ordinary pearls are also purchased. Not much."

"Hey, little master, keep your voice down, don't let others hear you."

Seeing that he was agitated, the old butler closed the doors and windows tightly, and said softly: "Criticizing the empress is a serious crime of beheading."

"Of course I know, I just can't get angry."

The Shaodong family’s emotions are still high, and they feel uncomfortable if they don’t vent it: “The specifications of the imperial merchant’s tribute to the House of Internal Affairs are customized every year. We merchants vent our anger."

"Forcing us to pay twice as much tribute to Dongzhu than in previous years before our 40th birthday. If we fail to pay the qualifications, we will be banned from the imperial business. Father has been so anxious that his old illness relapsed in the past two days, and he almost vomited blood."

"It's not a matter of a year or two for the empress to favor the noble monarch, and it's useless to complain."
