Fu Ciyi nodded but said nothing.

The big hand grabbed her little hand again and squeezed it hard.

When Liu Songhe saw this, they laughed one after another.

"After all, they are a young couple, like honey mixed with oil." He said with a smile, "I think it was like this when we were young."

Liu Song smiled on his face, but couldn't help but sigh in his heart, that brat Cheng Wen had no chance at all.

Yan Funing's hands hurt from his pinching. Faced with Liu Songhe's smile, she had no choice but to laugh along.

Not long after, the four of them finished their lunch.

Liu Song wanted to take care of the restaurant business, so He took Fu Ciyi and Yan Funing to see the house.

By chance, Caiyu also had dinner in the kitchen, so she went with him.

On the way, Mr. He introduced: "That house is quite big and is quite old. But the advantage is that the courtyard is big and the garden is beautifully built. Little girls will definitely like houses with gardens."

Yan Funing said: "I like flowers."

Caiyu interrupted: "My girl likes all beautiful things, including people."

Fu Ciyi's ears twitched slightly.

The three women chatted all the way, and Fu Ciyi remained silent the whole time.

He's footsteps turned into the alley, and they followed.

After walking all the way in, there are residential houses on both sides of the alley.

They are all made of brick walls. The walls are as high as one person, and the scenery in the courtyards of each house cannot be seen.

Compared with the courtyards in the village, the courtyards in the town are better and relatively safer.

Mr. He added: "Walking along the alley, you will reach the end. It is also convenient to go to the market in the town."

As he said that, he raised his hand and pointed, and there was a mansion in front of him, with the black door closed.

He quickly walked a few steps and knocked on the door.

The door opened from the inside, revealing the face of a middle-aged man with a goatee on his chin.

He opened the door wide and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law He is here. I have just arrived."

Mr. He introduced: "This is the Zhuangzhaiya man in our town. He knows whoever wants to sell or rent out a house."

Fang Ya smiled and said, "My surname is Xu. If you call me Xu Ya, maybe Fang Ya is me." He raised his hand and said, "Everyone, please come in!"

Fu Ciyi and Yan Funing both nodded in greeting and walked across the threshold with colored jade.

Fang Ya glanced at Yan Funing and asked with a smile, "Is she the shopkeeper of Liu Ji Restaurant?"

Yan Funing was surprised: "Do you recognize me?"

"I occasionally go to a restaurant to have a drink."

"No wonder, I think he looks familiar."

After chatting like this, the relationship became warm.

Xu Fangya introduced the layout of the entire house: "The courtyard has three entrances and three exits, facing south from the north."

Following his footsteps, everyone walked around the screen wall, passed through the hanging flower door, and walked under the verandah.

"The courtyard garden is the biggest feature of this house. The owner of this house is a flower lover, so he planted many flowers, and they bloom all year round."

As he walked, he introduced: "There are main rooms, east and west wing rooms, across the courtyard, wing rooms, and back rooms. This house can accommodate many people."

When he reached the main house, he stopped and asked, "Young husband, young shopkeeper, are you husband and wife? Do you want to buy a house?"

Fu Ciyi nodded: "Exactly."

"I think the young husband is handsome and knowledgeable. This house is worthy of the young husband. In the future, when the young husband will develop his ambitions, this house will be suitable for his status."

Yan Funing looked at the antique courtyard. The courtyard was quite clean, and it was obvious that someone was cleaning it from time to time.

The most important thing is that there are many rooms in the whole house, if you want to live in it.

She and he could live far apart.

Then he immediately asked: "Xu Fanya, how much does this house cost?"

Xu Fangya stretched out five fingers, opened them, pinched them, and then opened them again.

Yan Funing was confused: "Five hundred taels?" Xu Fangya smiled and shook his head: "Two five hundred taels."

"That's one thousand taels, good guy!" Caiyu's voice suddenly rose.

Mr. He pulled Xu Fangya and said in a low voice: "We are all old neighbors. For the sake of me and Lao Liu, you can give me a good price."

Xu Fangya smiled in embarrassment: "In the state capital, the price of such a house must be several hundred taels. If it were in the capital, such a big house would cost at least three thousand taels."

"But we are in Qingshan Town, Ling County." He said, "Just give me a sincere price."

Xu Fangya thought for a moment and said, "Nine hundred and eighty taels."

Seeing that they didn't express their opinions immediately, he added: "Liu Ji Restaurant's business is booming. The young shopkeeper must not be short of money to live in such a house."

Fu Ciyi lowered his head to look at Yan Funing beside him, and asked softly: "Do you like it?"

Yan Funing pulled his sleeve: "Let's talk next to each other."

The couple walked to the corner of the courtyard.

Yan Funing said honestly: "The price is too expensive, I can't afford it."

Who doesn’t like a big house?

If she wanted to buy it, the money she had finally saved would be basically spent. It will also cost money to add furniture or make any changes later.

As a result, there will not be enough money to enter Beijing after the new year.

Fu Ciyi asked again: "Just tell me, do you like it?"

Yan Fu thought for a moment and said, "I prefer the feeling of keeping money with me."

All of a sudden, her family's fortune was about to be wiped out, but she wouldn't do it.

Fu Ciyi smiled: "Money fan."

"Whatever you say." She muttered, "You don't know the difficulties of running a household."

The man touched the top of her hair and said, "I know, it's hard for you to be the head of the house."

"I think this house is too big. We only have a few people in our family, so we don't need such a big house." Yan Funing took the initiative to hold his hand, "Let's look at other houses?"

Fu Ciyi's lips moved slightly: "It's up to you."

The couple discussed it and walked back. Yan Funing said, "My husband and I have discussed it. We don't want this house."

Xu Fangya hurriedly asked: "Why don't you want it? The price can be negotiated."

Fu Ciyi shook his head: "The house is not bad, mainly because we will move to Beijing after the new year, and we will probably settle in the capital by then."

Entering Beijing is a big deal.

Not just for the imperial examination.

More for revenge!

To take revenge, one must live in the capital for a long time.

Xu Fangya had a smile on his face: "This matter will be easy to handle. When the house is handed over to me, the owner of Zhuangzhaiya, I will sell it to you both at a high price."

Upon hearing this, the couple knew that the price, whether it was one thousand taels or nine hundred and eighty taels, was exaggerated.

"Let's take a look at the house next door."

Fu Ciyi took Yan Funing's hand and walked away.

Caiyu follows him out.

He and Xu Fangya said, "Please help me find one at an affordable price."

Xu Fangya nodded: "I know, even if the owner of this house asks for the price himself, I can't lower the price at will."

The few people returned to the restaurant. Fu Ciyi sat for a while and then returned to the school.

Li Xinheng came back in the afternoon.

The crossbar connecting the two wheels has been replaced with a new one, and new stirrups have also been purchased.

He returned the extra money to Yan Funing.

"Girl, the owner of the carriage shop said that the crossbar wood is hard and cannot be easily cut with ordinary farm tools. Even if it is cut, it will take a lot of time."

Yan Funing frowned when she heard this: "I have to explain this to Master."

In the evening, Fu Ciyi arrived at the restaurant, and Li Xinheng explained the situation of Hengmu in detail.
