Fang Tianliu was shocked as he held the bowl in front of Zhao Zhan. “Is what your wife said true?”
Zhao Zhan felt comfortable hearing him say your wife. He picked the best red braised pork for Yue Jiaojiao and said, “It’s not true. Jiaojiao doesn’t look just look outstanding. She’s perfect. To be able to marry her is the good fortune I’ve cultivated for three lifetimes.”
Fang Tianliu choked on his food. He didn’t want to eat at the same table as the couple, so he took an empty plate, put some food on it, and sat on the other side.
Marriage was really too scary. It could actually blind a person!
After dinner, Zhao Zhan rented a carriage and took Yue Jiaojiao to town. Manager Li had heard Zhao Zhan was coming, so he had been keeping a guest room for him.
Zhao Zhan brought along all of Yue Jiaojiao’s usual items and redecorated the room.
The next day, Zhao Zhan found Manager Li at the crack of dawn. “Manager Li, is there a relatively quiet and safe house to rent in this town? Do you know any brokers?”
Manager Li pondered for a moment and said, “Wangshan Town is a small town with no achievements. We are all good at swindling people. If you want to build a house, I have a good friend who wants to rent a house. Do you want me to take you there?”
“There’s no need to trouble you to make another trip. Tell me the location and I’ll go there myself.”
“Okay.”
After Zhao Zhan got the address, he first went to the small kitchen to prepare breakfast for his lover and kept it warm on the stove. he then instructed the inn’s staff to pay attention to the room’s movements and to bring the food up on time.
When Zhao Zhan decided to build the houses, he had already thought of building a courtyard. Although he had many concerns at the time, he still paid close attention to the layout of the houses in town.
The people living near the address that Manager Li had given him were all relatively wealthy people in town.
However, these people were all scholars from well-to-do families, unlike the other area. Although the houses there looked the richest, there were too many businessmen living there. This would cause a lot of trouble for them every day. Zhao Zhan was not at ease letting his girl live in that complicated environment.
Because of this, the address that Manager Li gave was exactly what Zhao Zhan wanted.
Zhao Zhan arrived just in time. Manager Li’s best friend was directing people to clean the house.
The house was not very big, with only two utility rooms and a kitchen on the west side of the yard. The yard was small, but it was well-kept. Zhao Zhan was most satisfied with the yard, which could provide great convenience.
He was worried that the weather might delay the progress of building the house, so Zhao Zhan spent 24 silver to rent it for four months.
He had already placed the things that Yue Jiaojiao was used to using in the carriage last night. Now that the room had been booked, he checked again to see if there was any oversight and cleaned it up again. When everything was set up, he rushed to the inn to pick Yue Jiaojiao up.
“I might not be able to spend much time with you during the day. I was worried that you would be bored at home, so I bought all the storybooks in the bookstore.
“But I’ll be back on time at noon to cook for you. You don’t have to touch anything.”
Yue Jiaojiao looked at the room decorations while she listened.
