The Doctor's Concubine: Kick the Scumbag King and I Want to Be a Dandy Girl in the Capital

Xiu Luoran asked Su Jin to go in and find Qu Hou by herself, and she jumped into the yard of the "prodigal son".

The man was overjoyed when he saw Xiu Luoran really jumped in:

"Little girl, take a good look at my house. It's really nice. If you buy it and clean it up well, it won't cost you much.

Don’t underestimate this house, as it only has three courtyards. It is much larger than the average three-courtyard house.

Look at our garden again. When our house was in its heyday, this garden was quite famous in the capital.

I am not very good at managing these mundane matters, and the house is in a state of disrepair, and the garden is in ruins.”

Xiu Luoran looked at the house while listening to the man talk.

Although the man was dressed in rags, his words were not vulgar.

Xiu Luoran asked him, "Are you a scholar?"

The man felt a little embarrassed:

"I can recognize a few words, but I don't dare to call myself a scholar. It would bring shame to my ancestors."

Xiu Luoran asked casually: "What do you do for a living now?"

The man sighed: "Don't worry about you laughing at me, I can't even afford to eat, how can I make a living?"

Xiu Luoran smiled: "Why, you want to sell the house and use it as capital to start a business?"

"After my parents passed away, I started to live off their wealth. Over the years, I have squandered all the family wealth.

Now, this house is the only one that can be sold for some money. I plan to sell the house and use the money to go back to my hometown, buy a few hundred acres of land, and build a yard.

I read and write every day, raise chickens and ducks, plant flowers and plants, and collect some rent. "

Xiu Luoran nodded. If he really did that and married a similar-looking wife, even if he couldn't become rich, at least he would have enough food and clothing.

Xiu Luoran looked carefully and found that the man was right. The main part of the house was intact and just needed to be cleaned up.

The west wing is a large garden, almost three times the size of the house.

The garden is fully equipped with pavilions, terraces, rockeries and waterside pavilions. In the southwest corner there is a large lotus pond, where lotus flowers, lotus leaves and weeds coexist and grow lushly.

The man said, "There are several warm springs in the lotus pond at my home. The water in the lotus pond is relatively warm. The lotus flowers bloom early and wither late every year.

There are also bamboo forests, plum forests, and peach forests in the garden, providing beautiful scenery in all seasons.”

Xiu Luoran saw the deep reluctance on the man's face:

"It's a nice house, and the garden is nice, so if you can't bear to part with it, don't sell it."

The man wiped the tears from his eyes:

“This is the legacy that my grandfather and my father built up over two generations. When it came to me, I not only failed to develop it, but I also failed to preserve it.

If the price you offer is right, I will sell it to you, so that I don’t have to feel uncomfortable looking at this place every day.

Five years ago, someone saw that I was in a state of poverty and wanted to buy this house and garden.

I have always had a fantasy that one day I would be able to revive my family business.

I asked for a sky-high price of one million taels, which scared away those who wanted to buy the house. Actually, I was reluctant to sell it.

Little girl, if you can come up with two hundred thousand taels, I will sell it to you."

Two hundred thousand taels was really not expensive, so Xiu Luoran made up his mind and bought it.

Why did she say that? Because now she was Xiu Daxiaojie, but she couldn't even take out one thousand taels of silver.

Xiu Luoran: It doesn’t matter if I don’t have it. As long as my father and brother have it, I can borrow it.

"Can I see your deed?"

But don’t spend all your time trying to find out that the house doesn’t belong to the man in front of you, that would be funny.

When the man heard that there was a way, he happily went into the house and took out the house deed to show Xiu Luoran. It turned out that the surname of this "prodigal son" was Lu, and his grandfather's name was on the house deed.

Xiu Luoran nodded: "Wait for me for half an hour, I will go back to get the money, and we will go to the government office to change the deed."

"Okay, okay, then go quickly."

The man kept telling Xiu Luoran to hurry up and get the money.

Xiu Luoran entered Qu Hou's house and met Qu Hou, a smart, capable, and handsome middle-aged man.

Su Jin was a palace maid. Xiu Luoran knew that those who could be selected to be palace maids were either ladies from wealthy families or beautiful girls from ordinary families. At the very least, they were the daughters of officials.

So, Su Jin said that she and Qu Hou would not sign a contract to sell themselves, and Xiu Luoran agreed. She did not want to force good women into slavery.

Su Jin heard Xiu Luoran say that the house next door cost two hundred thousand taels, and she said excitedly:

"Miss, it's cheap. Let's not talk about the house first, let's talk about this place. It's in the center of the capital and it's big. Even if you just buy this piece of land, it will probably cost at least 100,000 taels."

Qu Hou had just heard Su Jin talk about her experiences during this period. He knew that Xiu Luoran was Su Jin's savior, and he was grateful:

"Miss, I know that house very well. It is good in every way: the house, the yard, the garden, and the location are even better.

This house of mine cost me more than 50,000 taels.

You can see that my three houses are probably not as big as the one next door, not to mention that they have such a big garden. "

Xiu Luoran smiled: "I feel relieved when you say that."

Xiu Luoran returned home and first went to find Xiu Yuancang:

"Dad, I want to buy something. Can you lend me 100,000 taels?"

Xiu Yuancang was stunned: "What is so expensive? One hundred thousand taels? Are you buying a house or land?"

Xiu Luoran didn't say anything, just pursed his lips and looked at Xiu Yuancang with his big watery eyes, looking so pitiful.

After watching for a while, Xiu Yuancang couldn't stand it anymore:

"Okay, I'll give it to you."

After Xiu Luoran got the banknote, she came to Xiu Lingce. She used the same trick again and borrowed another 100,000 taels.

Xiu Luoran came to find the man, and together they went to the yamen to change the deed, paid the money, and returned to Qu Hou's house.

"Madam Jin, please don't go back to the Marquis' Mansion for the time being. Just stay with Uncle Qu and accompany him.

Since Uncle Qu is a gardener, he should know something about maintaining the house, right?

Uncle Qu will help me find someone to maintain the house and garden. It’s up to you how to do it, as long as it looks beautiful.

I want to make the entire house and garden look brand new in the shortest possible time, Uncle Qu, can you do it?"

Just now, Qu Hou heard that Su Jin had acknowledged Xiu Luoran as his master and asked him to be a gardener, and he was a little unhappy.

Although I didn't sign a contract to sell myself, I was still under their control when I went to work for them, and was not much different from a slave.

When Su Xijin was in the Second Prince's Mansion, the Second Prince's Concubine asked her to poison her, and she dared not disobey. In the end, she took the blame for the Second Prince's Concubine and almost lost her life.

No matter how unhappy he was, Su Jin would not take back what she had said. He didn't want to leave Su Jin, so he had to endure the injustice and help Xiu Luoran first and see what happens next.

It would be fine if Xiu Luoran was a master worthy of following, but if he was like the Second Princess, he would risk his life to get Su Jin out of the Marquis' Mansion.

Thinking of this, he immediately agreed:

"Miss, if you have the money, I promise I can do it."

"Money is not a problem. I'll give you 500 taels to use first. You can start making a plan now to see how much silver you'll need so I can raise the money."

"Okay, don't worry, Miss. I'll start making plans now."

Xiu Luoran walked out of Qu Hou's house, ready to go home to get some money.

Should I continue to borrow from my father and brothers, or sell the pile of gold, silver and jewelry?

"Boom boom boom!"

At the door of the house that Xiu Luoran had just bought, someone was knocking desperately:

"Lu Wei, open the door. Today is the deadline. If you don't pay, we will take the house away."
