Dongnuan didn't bother to read the text "Zou Zou" written on the land deed, so he heard Cao Xinyao say: "This village has nearly two hundred acres of land and fifty-six houses, but the owner's family only lives in ten."
Most of the houses here are occupied by slaves, simple small houses, but the place is quite large and there are ponds, and the land is flat land in succession, which is convenient for planting and watering, which is great."
At the end, Cao Xinyao couldn't help but sigh: "It's a pity. I guess I won't be able to wait for this village to blossom and bear fruit. It's so annoying. I really want to break off the engagement. I don't want to marry Dingzhou."
Cao Xinyao just said casually, the wedding date has been set, how could it be possible to break off the engagement?
The combination of two families is mostly a matter of interests, not just a matter of personal will.
Moreover, because the two families are bound by interests, the relationship between the two parties will be stronger than other relationships.
Even if Young Master Zhou doesn't like Cao Xinyao, he still has to respect him honestly and cannot be willful.
Therefore, Dong Nuan let her talk as she pleased, only smiling and not interrupting.
Cao Xinyao just complained a few times, and soon became serious. She held Dong Nuan's hand and whispered eagerly: "Nuan Nuan, if this Zhuangzi bears fruit in the future, you have to send me some."
"It's a long way to Dingzhou. If you send it there, it will probably become dried fruit." Dong Nuan couldn't help but tease her.
Cao Xinyao didn't care, and hummed in a low voice: "I don't care, I don't care, I also love dried fruits."
"Then don't dislike my craftsmanship." Dong Nuan deliberately made a serious face, pretending to do it himself.
Cao Xinyao has never seen Dong Nuan take action. She always moved her mouth, and she hesitated for a while. Finally, she looked like a warrior ready to die: "Okay!"
Dong Nuan couldn't help but laugh.
After reading the things, the two little girls joked for a while and soon talked about the banquet.
The Cao family is serious about recognizing Dong Nuan as their adopted daughter, so there are a lot of procedures that should be followed.
However, it was hot in August, so Mrs. Cao meant that the banquet should be postponed until September.
Otherwise, the weather would be hot and anxious, and most people wouldn’t want to go out. Here in Fucheng, there are fewer gatherings among ladies in July and August.
Naturally, I have no problem with the warm winter. The banquet is initially scheduled for the sixth day of September, which is said to be a good day.
By then, there will be a batch of flowers blooming at Mrs. Cao's place, and it will be a good time to enjoy the flowers and exchange feelings at the same time.
"When I go back and look through it, I will see if there is any fabric. I will dress you up beautifully..." Cao Xinyao was full of pride, but the more she talked, the less confident she became.
Finally, he spread his hands and said, "Okay, he's good-looking, and he's wearing linen clothes. He's so beautiful that people can't ignore her."
Dong Nuan is getting stronger and stronger now, and his appearance is getting more and more prosperous.
The little girl is not only good-looking, but also full of aura. Anyway, the more Cao Xinyao looks at her, the more she likes her.
As for jealousy?
nonexistent.
When a girl's beauty reaches a certain level, she can't be jealous even if she wants to.
What's the use of jealousy?
Can being jealous of her make her look better?
No, no, no, according to Cao Xinyao's own experience, jealousy will only make people uglier.
Whether it was in the capital before or after coming to Fucheng, the images of noble ladies whose faces were distorted by jealousy would often appear in Cao Xinyao's nightmares, always reminding her not to be jealous.
It would be really ugly!!!
Seeing that the little girl couldn't talk any more, Dong Nuan couldn't help but laugh: "Well, then I'll wait for my sister to arrange it."
Cao Xinyao was teased, but she wasn't angry. She just shook her head and said, "Huh, now you know your sister, okay?"
The two of them had fun all the way, first went to Zhuangzi to pick up Sister Dongtao, and then returned to the town together.
Dong Nuan and his family are discussing whether to move to Fucheng. Dong Nuan doesn't have to go for the time being. After all, Hanjiang Tower is still studying.
But others can go first.
It has been agreed that we will go to Fucheng to choose a house.
"I've taken a good look at them all!" Cao Xinyao had already asked Yaxing to send some houses early in the morning, and she selected some good houses among them, which were suitable for the Dongnuan family's current conditions.
Just wait for Dong Nuan and their house to pass by, and then you can choose something that catches your eye and move in there.
They were a little nervous all the way through winter and spring, but now seeing how good-tempered and easy-going Cao Xinyao was, they relaxed a lot.
When going to Fucheng, there are many things that need to be prepared.
First, what to do with the shop?
To open or not to open?
If you want to open it, you have to retain people, and Dong Sanchun is the best candidate. But Dong Yao went to Fucheng, and it was shameful that no adults were watching.
Dong Wu’s temperament...
Don’t worry about winter and spring.
Therefore, the shop probably cannot be kept.
Next is the house. What about the new one they bought? Do they want to keep it?
The family discussed these matters for two days.
Cao Xinyao also came to play for two days.
Two days later, the family decided to take the items from the shop to a shop in the county town and sell them.
Sell the house and then go to Fucheng to buy it again.
Dong Sanchun and Dong Wu now both have craftsmanship. Although it is not exquisite enough, it can still maintain the family's livelihood.
Therefore, they can definitely go to Fucheng and resume their old business.
If that doesn't work, they can work as stewards in Xinzhuangzi, which has warm winters. It's always easier for the family to use it, right?
Once you decide you want to move, you have to pack it up.
Cao Xinyao was full of energy and helped in the middle.
Look at the house and choose the shop. This time Dong Nuan is rich and wealthy. Although Dong Yao still has to bear half of the debt, the house he chose is a house in the back street of Fucheng's elite street.
In this area, most of the people are from relatively good families, which is a bit worse than the rich and powerful street, and some are scholars.
The newly bought house is much larger than the one in the town, and of course the price is more expensive.
It's the kind that makes your blood pressure rise after listening to it in winter or spring.
The good news is that he doesn't have to pay for it for the time being.
Dong Yao has something to say about this.
He didn't take any money, but he was inexplicably saddled with huge debts.
Wow, it’s so difficult for children.
After choosing a house, I also chose a shop.
He did not buy the shop directly, but rented it first. Dong Sanchun said that he could not afford to bear so much debt, and he did not want to burden Dong Nuan too much.
Dong Nuan has no objection to this, just let them make the decision.
The last thing is Dong Yao’s study problem.
I looked for a new private school, and there are more to choose from in Fucheng. Cao Xinyao introduced me to this new one, and it has good reviews.
Dong Yao adapts quickly, so you can rest assured of the warm winter.
Dongtao and Dongzao are still studying. When they come to Fucheng, they have to find the embroiderer again. With Cao Xinyao's help, the efficiency is still very fast.
After everything was arranged, it was already late August.
Dong Nuan invited Cao Xinyao to warm up the house in her new home, and the little girl came happily.
Now Dong Nuan's family, in addition to the original ones, has two new maids and two boys. Because Shi Qing is too versatile and easy to use, the coachman has also been replaced.
These servants were all found by Madam Cao with the help of Zhang Yan.
