During New Year’s Eve, Grandma Song had said that the family’s silver would be used for his exams, but the rest would be left to Song Wan Yue for her dowry.
He didn’t know how Song Wangyue had managed to get this money from her grandmother, but what he did know was that the two mansions must have cost a lot of silver.
Song Wan Yue was frightened by his roar and shivered, holding onto Xiao Yao’s arm tighter and tighter, “Big brother, calm down, sister Yao is here.”
Seeing Xiao Yao’s stunned expression, Song Si took a deep breath and smoothed down his emotions, “Did you buy anything else?”
Song Wangyue held up two fingers of her left hand, “No, just bought these two mansions.”
Song Si’s temples popped and he lifted his hand to rub them.
Xiao Yao was also a little stunned, Song Wangyue hadn’t given her any indication that she had bought two mansions.
“Let’s go, go over and take a look.”
After a long while, Song Si said helplessly.
It was useless to be angry even after buying it.
Song Wangyue took them there. The mansion was bigger than the one they had just seen, and the furniture inside was good, the only bad thing was that there was a shop in front of it. But if Song Si and Xiao Yao were to get married, they would not be able to live there, after all, it would be too chaotic with a shop in front.
“I wanted to rent out both the shop and the house, so that I could collect a lot of rent and have an allowance in case my elder brother needed money in the capital. But I don’t think that way now, I’m thinking of opening our own pastry shop and letting Sister Xiao take care of it, so it’s a source of income.”
Most of the people living in the South City were rich, and there was no shortage of silver in their hands, so as long as there were good cakes, they would be willing to spend money on them.
“Pastry shops are not good to run.”
Song Si reminded.
Apart from not having a single type of pastry, one pastry should not be sold for too long, as people will not want it after a long time.
“Don’t worry about this big brother, I have nothing to do every day anyway, so I can work on a few more, we’ll launch a new product every month or two.”
Song Si knew that her mind was made up and it was useless to oppose it herself, so he simply went along with her, “Okay, when the family comes in a couple of days, I’ll tell them, just ……”
He looked at Xiao Yao, even if they were engaged after the family came, they wouldn’t be married right away, and it was a bit unreasonable to let Xiao Yao help manage the pastry shop.
“I’m fine.”
Xiao Yao stated her position, the Duke of Ding’s Mansion was not like other mansions where the young lady of the family was ordered not to leave the main door, she had been spoiled by her family since she was a child and left the house at will.
“Sister Xiao is so kind.”
Song Wangyue duly patted the horse’s ass, “Then let’s make a deal, after you’re betrothed, we’ll open up the pastry shop.”
“Ahem ……”
Gu Yi, who had not spoken since the beginning, coughed, causing the three of them to look at him, then Gu Yi spoke slowly, “I think we need to determine the ownership of the shop before opening the pastry shop, so that there are no unanswered questions later.”
“The shop belongs to big brother.”
“The shop naturally goes to Yue’er.”
Song Wan Yue and Song Si spoke in unison.
Gu Yi looked like I knew that was the case, “I think it should also go to big brother, you will inevitably have entertainment in the official world in the future, my father said that will cost a lot of money, with your small salary it is simply not enough, when the time comes you can’t let Miss Xiao go to her mother’s house to ask for silver, right?”
“That’s right, that’s right ……”
Song Wan Yue nodded her little head like a chicken pecking rice, agreeing very much with Gu Yi’s words, while giving a thumbs up towards Gu Yi, she only thought of opening a pastry shop so that Song Si would not be strapped for cash in the future, and had not really thought about the issue of belonging.
After receiving her silent praise, Gu Yi picked up where he left off, “Big brother don’t feel embarrassed, little girl this is a solution to your family’s worries, only if you are doing well in the capital will your family not miss you.”
Song Wangyue thumbed up to him.
Gu Yi raised his eyebrows in triumph.
Song Si didn’t immediately respond, “Everything will wait for the family to come.”
It was too early to say this, everything would be discussed after the temple exams were finished.
Song Wan Yue was in no hurry, as long as she had made up her mind, Song Si would have to take the pastry shop or not.
“Since the house has been bought, let’s go and return the inn and move in.”
The two upper rooms plus the ordinary room where the coachman and the servants lived cost quite a lot of silver taels a day, so moving over would save them.
When Song Si finished speaking, he immediately headed out and went back to the inn to pack his things.
Song Wan Yue was a bit dumbfounded, although there was a house and furniture inside, there was nothing else.
“Da ……”
“That’s right ……”
Song Si stopped and turned around, “Gu Yi and I will just go back, please Miss Xiao take Yue’er to get the things we need, when we finish packing in a while, we will come to you.”
“Good.”
Xiao Yao softly answered.
When Song Si and Gu Yi got on the carriage, Song Wan Yue came up to Xiao Yao and muttered in a low voice, “Sister Xiao, you can’t be so spoiled with my big brother, whatever he says.”
Xiao Yao pursed her lips and smiled.
She felt that Song Si had done the right thing, since she had a house of her own, why spend that wasted money by staying at the inn again.
Seeing her like this, Song Wan Yue slapped her forehead, “It’s over, I was counting on you to back me up in the future, but now it seems that you will be eaten to death by my big brother.
Teng!
Not only did Xiao Yao’s face turn red, even her neck instantly turned red.
……
Song Si and Gu Yi both went back to the inn, packed up their things, went downstairs and settled the bill, leaving the address for the shopkeeper and telling him to give it to him if anyone came looking for them.
The shopkeeper naturally dared not be negligent and took note of the address, saying yes again and again.
With this one scholar, he would have no worries about students coming to stay at his inn when the exams were held three years later.
In the afternoon, several people did not stop to buy all the things they needed.
……
The first of these is the one in which the person who is the owner of the house is the one who is the owner of the house.
Sun Jin was in a state of excitement all afternoon, and when he came out of the Xu house, his excitement had not yet subsided, so he ordered the coachman to go to the inn to look for Song Si.
As soon as he got off the carriage, he saw Song Si accompanying a woman out, and it looked as if he was planning to send her back.
“Brother Song.”
Sun Jin raised his voice and shouted, his voice was one of suppressed joy, with today’s guidance from the Great Mister, he was even more certain about the Temple Exam.
He had just had a chance to be alone with Xiao Yao for a day, but Sun Jin had come over and disturbed him, “Why are you here?”
