Chapter 224 New House

The carriage headed towards the south city.

When passing the main road, Su Chengnan saw many shops facing the street. Although this place cannot be compared with other cities, there are still general restaurants, inns and clothing stores.

"Bingsan, did the house purchase go smoothly?" Sun Liangyuan asked.

"Mr. Sun, everything goes well. In Ningguta, it seems that as long as you have money, everything can be done." Bingsan replied through the car door.

Su Chengnan became interested when he heard this, "Come in and tell me in detail."

"Yes."

Bingsan pushed open the door and quickly got in. He leaned against the door frame, trying not to stain the carriage interior with his robe.

"Miss, Mr. Sun, the people in Ningguta are just like those in other places. You can buy people, land, and houses from them. The houses here are not as bad as we imagined. As long as you can afford it, there are still many good houses."

"Oh?" Sun Liangyuan couldn't believe it.

"Uncle Fu and I didn't say anything at first. But after looking at the house plans they recommended, we realized that houses in the south city are generally much more expensive. Then we asked around and learned that many people from Jiangnan came here to look for relatives and bought land and built houses here. Over time, this area has become quite large."

"Then why is the City Lord's Mansion in East City?" Su Chengnan was puzzled.

"I haven't found out the truth yet, but City Lord Han has a huge influence in Ningguta. No one dares to disobey what he says, and the people are all very afraid of him."

Bing San paused for two seconds, then, seeing that Su Chengnan and Sun Liangyuan had no new questions, continued, "Uncle Fu and I looked at three houses. Since there were so many of us, a regular house wouldn't be enough, and splitting into two wouldn't be very suitable either. So, after some discussion, we decided to book this one. It's expensive, but the advantage is the size, and it hasn't been abandoned for long, so we can move in with a little tidying up."

"How much did it cost?" Sun Liangyuan asked.

"Sixty thousand taels." After Bingsan said this, he hurried to look at Su Chengnan's face.

"So expensive?! Sixty thousand taels can buy you a very nice house in the capital! Where is this place? Where is the capital? Why is it so expensive?!" Sun Liangyuan was almost going crazy.

Su Chengnan was very calm, "Don't worry, sir. It's precisely because this place is remote and good things are rare, so it's understandable that the price is a bit higher. It's okay."

Sun Liangyuan was heartbroken. "Sixty thousand taels! That's sixty thousand taels of silver! How much food can this buy? It's enough to feed the Beiling Army for at least half a year, or even a year!"

Bingsan swallowed, coughed lightly, and said, "Sir, please don't be impatient. Let me finish what I have to say."

Sun Liangyuan frowned and held his forehead: "Go ahead."

"Sixty thousand taels is the price in silver or silver notes, but the people said that if it were exchanged for gold, the price would be lower. So in the end I gave them twenty gold bars and twenty-three thousand taels of silver notes."

"Hmph, at least they have some conscience!" Sun Liangyuan's expression looked a little better.

But Su Chengnan frowned slightly, "Here, gold is really more useful than silver notes?"

"Yes! Thanks to the gold bars you gave me earlier, Miss, otherwise we wouldn't be able to agree on the price." Bingsan took out a stack of silver bills from his chest and placed them in front of Su Chengnan with both hands.

Su Chengnan glanced at it and didn't take it, but pushed it back. "Leave this money with you as a reserve fund. I guess we need to buy a lot of things for the new house. When the time comes, you can discuss it with Uncle Fu. Divide the work and cooperate, so hurry up."

Bingsan put the money away and said, "Yes, I understand!"

Sun Liangyuan glanced at the two of them thoughtfully, then lowered his eyes silently. He was very surprised by Su Chengnan's generosity. The Su family didn't seem as bad as he had imagined. This was very good, very good.

As they talked, the carriage gradually slowed down.

"Miss, here we are."

"it is good."

She lifted the curtain and saw that the gate had been completely renovated, with a plaque of the Su Mansion hanging on it and two majestic stone lions at the door.

It looks good and looks like something.

Bingsan and Nianqiu stepped out first, putting the footrests in place. Sun Liangyuan and Su Chengnan then stepped out. They walked in through the main entrance, while Gangzi drove the carriage around to the side.

Everyone was busy unloading the truck and cleaning the new house with tools.

"Hurry up! The eldest lady will be back soon, and we must let her see that the new house is clean!" Uncle Fu commanded everyone with full energy, and the other servants and maids were busy running around.

As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp-eyed maid saw Su Chengnan.

"The eldest lady is back!"

"Everyone, stop it! The young lady is back!"

Her shout stopped everyone, and they immediately knelt on the ground. Everyone shouted in unison: "Welcome home, Miss!"

This scene made Su Chengnan stunned for a moment.

Come back home?

What a strange word.

"Hurry up and stop kneeling so easily! I don't like that!"

"Yes!" everyone answered and hurriedly stood up.

Seeing everyone so happy, Sun Liangyuan also laughed happily, "We've bought a house today, so we can be considered settled down. Shouldn't we celebrate?"

Su Chengnan nodded when he heard this, "Sir, you're right, today is a special day to celebrate."

She turned to look at the maid beside her, "Nianqiu, go to the kitchen and take a look at the things in the car. Take the people from the small kitchen with you to clean up the kitchen first. We will have a good meal tonight."

Nian Qiu couldn't stop smiling, "Yes, Miss, I'll go right away! I guarantee it will be a feast!"

Her words were overheard by Uncle Fu who came over to greet her. Uncle Fu smiled and waved his hand, "Miss, the Second Miss has already prepared for this. She guessed that you would definitely order a dinner, so she took people to the kitchen as soon as she entered the door, saying that she wanted to show off her unique skills and shock everyone..."

Su Chengnan laughed out loud and said to Sun Liangyuan and the others, "My second sister is a free-spirited person. I like her relaxed lifestyle. But it's a little strange. My father has seen and eaten all the dishes he's seen and eaten during his travels. As long as I mention them to my second sister, she can definitely replicate them. I'm so envious..."

Sun Liangyuan stroked his beard and said, "The eldest lady is so lucky. The second lady is smart and intelligent, and her cooking skills are top-notch. You are so lucky..."

"Sir, you're joking. My second sister is not one to hide her secrets. Anyone in the Su family who wants to learn can do so as long as they are willing to endure hardships. Food is only meaningful when it is shared by everyone!"

"Okay, okay! Then I'll go take a look too." After Sun Liangyuan said that, he couldn't wait to walk forward. Nian Qiu hurriedly chased after him and called a maid who had returned earlier to lead the way.

After Uncle Fu and the others had gone far away, he lowered his voice and said, "Miss, why don't you go to the study first?"

Su Chengnan received his hint and nodded, "Okay, let's go and take a look! Uncle Fu, please lead the way."

"Miss, this way please..."
