I am the stepmother of my son, and the little villain has changed into a little cotton-padded jacket

Song Zhoubai also stood up from the threshold, patting the dust behind him and saying, "The remaining snow has probably been cleared, but the road is bound to be slippery, and the carriage will definitely slow down."

"Don't worry, it's still early." Wen Shutang waved his hand.

Song Zhoubai nodded, then ordered the servant who had been guarding the gate of the yard to prepare the carriage. Soon the servant came back running to report.

"Master, everything is ready. There is also a hot water bottle prepared for you by Madam in the car."

"Let's go." Song Zhoubai walked out first.

Wen Shutang and Xiao Yizhuo followed him with their three children. Although her family also had a carriage, Song Zhoubai's carriage was definitely warmer and softer. In this snowy weather, they naturally chose a more comfortable carriage.

Fortunately, the carriage that Song Zhoubai brought was indeed big enough. The space inside was full of Wen Shutang's family and Song Zhoubai, and there was even some empty space.

The carriage seats were covered with soft brocade cushions, and the walls were covered with expensive materials. Although Wen Shutang had long known that Song Zhoubai's family was wealthy, he had never expected the carriage to be so luxurious.

There was even a small fixed table in the middle of the carriage, with fresh fruits on it.

Song Zhoubai handed a small hand warmer to Xiao Wan: "Take this and you won't feel cold."

He noticed that the little girl seemed a little cold and her face was red.

Xiao Wan was stunned for a moment, then shyly took the heater from Song Zhoubai's hand and said something in a low voice.

"Thank you."

Song Zhoubai smiled and said, "Your three children are really lovable."

"My children are all good kids who know etiquette. Everyone must like them." Wen Shutang couldn't help but feel proud when talking about this.

When the three children heard the two people praising them, they all showed shy and happy expressions on their faces.

Even the reserved Xiao Ze showed a hint of embarrassment on his face.

It was just as Song Zhoubai said. Although there was no snow on the road, some places had already frozen over, and the carriage was moving very slowly.

It took them some time to reach the town, and Wen Shutang was the first to get off the carriage. Although Song Zhoubai's carriage was very comfortable and soft, her waist couldn't bear it after sitting for such a long time.

Xiao Yizhuo didn't show any expression. After getting off the car, he turned around and picked up all three children.

The three children also felt a little suffocated, and took a few deep breaths after getting off the car.

After breathing in the fresh air, Xiao Ye immediately became active, pointing at the stall in the distance and grabbing the corner of Wen Shutang's clothes.

"Mom, I want to eat candied haws."

"Let's go shopping first and then buy it for you. You just had lunch, so be careful about indigestion." Wen Shutang touched his head.

She found that Xiao Ye particularly liked sweets, so he should not get cavities at such a young age.

Song Zhoubai waved his hand, and the servant drove the carriage back home.

"I'll take you to look at the mansions in town. It just so happens that I have a few friends who have vacant mansions."

He said as he walked in front of the group: "What kind of location do you want? Quiet or lively?"

"It's best to keep it quiet, and also closer to the academy." Wen Shutang said, touching his chin.

"By the way, it would be even better if there were a clinic nearby."

Xiao Ze and Xiao Ye will go to a college in the future, which is convenient because it is close to home. Xiao Wan will also study medicine in the future, so it would be better if there is a clinic nearby.

When Song Zhoubai heard her request, he thought about it and suddenly turned around and walked in the opposite direction with them.

"Now that you mention it, I think I can think of a place that would be more suitable."

Song Zhoubai quickly brought them to a secluded place. In front of the gate there was a jujube tree. Although there was a lot of snow on the branches, it could still be seen that the tree was once lush.

The gate of the house looks very low-key, but when you turn your head sideways you can't see the end of the courtyard wall.

Wen Shutang smacked his lips, wondering how much money such a big yard would cost.

Song Zhoubai walked forward and pushed open the door: "This is a courtyard of my home, only a few steps away from Mingde Academy. There is a clinic on the street behind, and there are vendors selling things around, but they won't disturb the people in the courtyard. Let me show you the furnishings inside."

When he heard that it was Song Zhoubai's yard, Wen Shutang raised his eyebrows and immediately had the idea of ​​bargaining.

I have to say that this mansion is indeed large. There are quite a few rooms when you walk around it, including a study, warehouse, guest room, and everything else without any missing.

Especially the sandalwood bed in the main room, which immediately attracted Wen Shutang's attention. She felt uncomfortable sleeping on the previous bed, and this dark sandalwood bed looked very good.

After a round of walking around, Wen Shutang was completely attracted by this courtyard.

"It's great. With such a big house, the three children can each have their own room."

Xiao Ye ran around in the yard excitedly. He was extremely happy to hear that he would soon have a room of his own.

Xiao Ze plunged into the study and refused to come out. There were two huge bookshelves in the study, which were filled with all kinds of books. He couldn't walk at all. He just sat on the stool, found a book he liked and started reading.

Xiao Wan stopped in a sunny room, which was filled with various plants. It was like a small botanical garden.

Wen Shutang even saw familiar succulents inside.

There were many bright red flowers in full bloom inside. The little girl loved to play with flowers and plants. Xiao Wan just stayed in the room and didn't go out.

Seeing that the three children liked this yard so much, Wen Shutang also had an idea in his mind.

Turning his head to look at Xiao Yizhuo, he could see that he was also quite satisfied with this place.

"This house is indeed very nice, but how much is the price, Young Master Song? It can't be too expensive. After all, we are partners, right? Isn't there a price that can be adjusted based on personal preferences?" Wen Shutang said with a smile, his tone relaxed.

Song Zhoubai glanced at her and naturally understood what she meant: "Your bargaining skills are really not as good as your cooking skills. I know that. Of course, because of our relationship, I definitely can't ask for more money from you, but it's definitely impossible for me to refuse."

Wen Shutang raised her eyebrows and didn't respond. Seeing that she didn't say anything, Song Zhoubai continued.

"Six hundred and fifty taels is not too high, right?"

"More than six hundred taels?" Wen Shutang's eyebrows jumped, and the end of his tone also rose.

It was obviously a bit beyond her budget, and before she could open her mouth to refute, Song Zhoubai raised his hand to interrupt her.

"Hey, don't worry, I haven't finished yet."

A smile appeared on his face, and he glanced at Xiao Ye: "If you promise to let me come to eat from time to time in the future, I can sell this house to you for three hundred and sixty taels of silver, and I guarantee that the title deed will be handed over to you."
