After binding the loving mother system, I was so bad

Su Xuanming exclaimed: "Little sister, you actually noticed it for us so early?"

Su Yunyan looked up at the sky and down at the ground, but not at her brother: "I was just passing by."

Sun Shuyao rolled her eyes and mercilessly exposed Su Yunyan's lie: "These few days, she asked around the previous housing agents, but couldn't find a suitable venue, so she found me."

Su Xuanming was deeply moved: "Little sister, why didn't you say so earlier?"

Sun Shuyao sighed and shook her head: "My sister does more and says less. She is afraid that you have already made a decision and it will cause trouble to you."

Su Xuanming pursed his lips and smiled, "My little sister is willing to help me, how can it be a problem? Big brother is so happy!"

Su Yunyan's face was as red as fire. She just followed Gu Nanxi closely, wishing she could bury her head in his chest.

Sun Shuyao glanced at her little sister who was so embarrassed that she changed the subject: "Madam Hou, I will take you to the shop. This shop has two floors. To the west is Mingfu Temple, and to the east is the arsenal."

Gu Nanxi looked around and found that the shop was relatively clean. It could be reopened after some tidying up. It was next to the street and the river, and the feng shui was also good.

"Since the restaurant belongs to Yunyan, it's fine as long as she likes it."

"Then let's go to the yard and take a look? It's not far from here." Sun Shuyao got on her own carriage and led the way. After a while, they arrived at the place.

This is a private house with a separate entrance and courtyard, a north room, two rooms on the east and west sides, a well in the middle of the courtyard, and a pine tree next to the well.

The yard was spotless, the gate and pillars were painted with a layer of varnish, and there was a square wooden table and four stools in the north room.

"He used to be a scholar who rented the house as a primary school. Later, it became difficult to live in the capital, so the scholar returned home."

Sun Shuyao felt that even if the Baichuan Academy could be opened, it would not be able to gain a foothold in Kyoto. In the early stages, it would not be appropriate to expand the business so much. A small courtyard would be enough.

Su Xuanming also thought so: "Mother, why don't we settle here?"

"You decide."

Su Xuanming tried to bargain: "Sister Shuyao, can the rent be cheaper?"

Sun Shuyao shook her head: "There are rules in the residential industry. I always offer the lowest price. However, for Yunyan's sake, I won't take away the furniture in the house."

"Okay. Let's sign the contract now?"

Now, Sun Shuyao is even less optimistic about Baichuan Academy.

Private education is also a business. How can Su Xuanming, who is so extravagant and can't even bargain, run an academy?

"The deed is in the carriage. I'll ask the servant to get it." Sun Shuyao secretly felt that the children of the Su family were so lucky to have a mother who spoiled them, had money, and was willing to let go.

Even if the academy went bankrupt, the marquis's wife would not blame the Su brothers.

Just as Sun Shuyao and Su Xuanming were writing the contract, a servant from the Sun family came rushing over: "Young lady! We can't sign the contract!"

Sun Shuyao paused, and a round black ink dot appeared on the contract.

"Why are you in such a hurry? If you have anything important to say, wait until I sign the contract."

The servant panted and gasped, "Young lady! The master said that this courtyard cannot be rented to the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion!"

The air at the scene suddenly stagnated.

Sun Shuyao was so embarrassed that she wanted to bury herself in the ground.

She led the servant to the pine tree and asked quietly, "What did my father say? He said that I would be responsible for this mess, so why is he still acting like a rogue?"

The servant bowed repeatedly: "Oh, young lady! The master had no choice. This morning, the Minister of Works came to inspect the Tuntian Division and said he wanted to check the accounts!"

Sun Shuyao's expression became solemn. The officials in Kyoto, from the top to the bottom, were not as untainted as the lotus flowers that emerged from the mud. If one was to be serious about it, no one could escape it.

My father pays tribute every year and takes care of everything, so there is no reason why the minister would suddenly come to find trouble! Unless someone is instigating it!

Sun Shuyao's expression showed signs of struggle, and then, with red eyes, she came in front of Gu Nanxi.

"Madam Hou, I...I..."

Gu Nanxi and Su Xuanming looked at each other, then gently apologized to Sun Shuyao: "Shuyao, I'm so sorry, we plan to go and have a look at other courtyards."

Sun Shuyao lowered her head, tears dropping down onto her coat, feeling extremely embarrassed.

Su Yunyan held Sun Shuyao's hand, her face full of worry and apology: "Shuyao, it's my fault. I didn't know it was so serious."

My brother just wanted to build a college, but why is he being chased and blocked here as if he had violated the law of heaven?

Su Yunting tapped Sun Shuyao's head with his fan, his tone teasing, but his eyes showed a trace of concern: "Oh, hot girls are crying? Don't take it to heart. Our Baichuan Academy must find a spacious place. Your courtyard is too small."

Sun Shuyao wiped her tears with a handkerchief and glanced at Su Yunting: "You can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth. Any good person will be mad to death after being comforted by you like this!"

Sun Shuyao walked straight to Gu Nanxi and told her everything she knew: "Madam Hou, what are you going to do? If they keep besieging us, I'm afraid we won't be able to find a good place in Kyoto."

Gu Nanxi smiled and touched Sun Shuyao's hair, and said calmly: "If we can't find it in Kyoto, we can go to the suburbs of Beijing. If they don't want to rent it to us, then we will buy it! Things will work out when the time comes! Don't worry."

After Gu Nanxi said goodbye to Sun Shuyao, they prepared to go home.

After getting on the carriage, Su Yunting leaned against the wall, looking listless. "It must be Li Shaoyan and Wu Shanchang who are behind this! Why are they biting us like mad dogs?"

Su Xuanming opened the curtains and looked at the street outside.

Brothels and painted pavilions, embroidered doors and pearl curtains, BMWs and carved carriages, and the road is filled with fragrance.

There is not even a single usable piece of land in the great Kyoto!

Crowds of people were shoulder to shoulder, shuttling between taverns, teahouses and pubs, and the sounds of laughter, anger and cursing could be heard continuously.

"Have you placed your bets on the Baichuan Academy's plate?"

"Don't mention it! The dealer has closed the market! Everyone is blocking the construction of Baichuan Academy, so how can the dealer be willing to do this loss-making business?"

"Eh? Didn't you all say that the wife of the Marquis of Yongchang has connections? Why are you so pessimistic this time?"

"Hehe, this sky is also divided into the first and second heavens. The sky behind Principal Wu is higher than the sky behind the wife of Marquis Yongchang!"

Su Xuanming lowered the curtains to block out the noise outside. His eyes were dark, filled with complex emotions.

"Mother, I must build this academy!"

Gu Nanxi was drowsy: "Okay."

Su Xuanming seemed to be asking Gu Nanxi, or he seemed to be talking to himself: "But where is this academy built?"

Gu Nanxi nodded her head, and said in a barely audible voice: "When the time comes, things will work out."
