Chapter 205 Arrival in Ganzhou
The end of April in the thirty-second year of Jingzhao.
Qin Ruo and his group walked and stopped along the way and finally arrived at Yuncheng, Ganzhou.
At this time, Xue Jing was waiting for Qin Ruo and others outside the city gate with a few servants.
Estimates show that Qin Ruo would arrive around this time, so Xue Jing sent people to wait at the dock outside the city every day.
Xue Jing hurried over when he heard someone report that Qin Ruo and her group had already gotten off the boat.
Xue Jing had returned to Ganzhou long ago to prepare for the new business.
At present, the warehousing has been arranged, the people are in place, and the early promotion has been almost completed.
All is ready except for the opportunity.
"Sister A'ruo, Tiaotiao is finally waiting for you. I was thinking that if I couldn't see you again today, I would have to go to Taihe County to find you. Tiaotiao, come and give Brother Xue a hug."
Xue Jing walked forward quickly with a smile, picked up Qin Tiaotiao and carried him on his shoulder.
"Brother Xue, please. I will be seven years old after the New Year. How childish of you! Quick, put me down." Qin Tiaotiao's little face was distorted, and she struggled to get off Xue Jing.
There are so many people coming and going at the city gate, it's so embarrassing.
Xue Jing laughed and turned around twice before putting Qin Tiaotiao down, pinching his fair and tender face.
"Oh my, our Tiaotiao is seven years old now? Why does he seem to be the same height as before? Maybe he hasn't been eating well."
This sentence really touched Qin Tiaotiao's sore spot. Not growing taller has always been a concern for Qin Tiaotiao.
In modern times, his appearance and height have not changed since he followed Qin Ruo.
The same thing happened during the Great Sheng Dynasty, with no signs of growth at all.
Qin Ruo had carefully analyzed it for him. He had lived for thousands of years to be this tall. If he really wanted to grow taller, it would probably take another thousand years. Qin Tiaotiao almost shut himself in at that time.
"What do you know? Although I am short, I can jump tall." Qin Tiaotiao frowned and hid behind Qin Ruo angrily.
Banxia and Yiqiu covered their mouths and laughed secretly. Song Shiqi, holding the sword, also frowned for a moment.
After Qin Tiaotiao and Xue Jing finished playing around, Qin Ruo walked forward with a smile.
"Thank you for the trouble, Brother Xue. The scenery along the way is very beautiful. We stopped and started along the way, which delayed us a bit. Sorry."
Xue Jing started calling A Ruo "sister", so Qin Ruo followed suit and called him "brother Xue".
Qin Ziyan, Qin Zimu and Qin Tiaotiao usually call Xue Jing like this, so there is nothing wrong with her following suit.
After a few pleasantries, Xue Jing led Qin Ruo and his party into the city and headed straight for the house that had been prepared long ago.
It was the end of spring and the beginning of summer was approaching. The streets of the city were filled with the cries of vendors and the sounds of conversation and laughter, creating a lively scene.
After entering the city, Qin Tiaotiao's unhappiness was long forgotten.
In short, everything I see seems fresh.
Compared with Taihe County, Yuncheng is like two completely different worlds.
The carriage moved very slowly, and Qin Tiaotiao kept sticking his little head out and looking around.
On the way, he let Banxia get off the car and bought some fried cakes on the roadside.
Half an hour later, they finally arrived at the house that Qin Ruo had asked Xue Jing to find for her in advance.
Sooner or later I will have to buy a house in Ganzhou anyway, so I don’t have to stay in an inn.
"A Ruo, take a look at this house and see if it suits your taste. This house is new and no one has ever lived in it. If you think you need any more furniture, just let me know."
Xue Jing led Qin Ruo and others into the house and enthusiastically introduced the house to her.
Although this house is slightly smaller than the one bought in Taihe County, it is obviously much more exquisite.
Pavilions, corners of buildings, rockery and flowing water, everywhere shows signs of careful arrangement.
There are several peach trees in the yard in full bloom, alternating between pink and white, the petals dancing in the wind, and the air is filled with a faint floral fragrance.
The layout of the courtyard is well-organized, and the key is that the location is also good and convenient.
Qin Ruo fell in love with him at first sight and kept nodding her head.
"Very good, I like this house very much. Thank you for your help, Brother Xue. I wonder how much this house costs?"
"That's good as long as you like it, that's good as long as you like it! As for the money? Not much, not much!" Xue Jing stretched out a finger towards Qin Ruo.
I thought to myself, Si Heng really was right.
When he returned to Ganzhou, Si Heng specifically instructed him to send someone to clean up the house and buy some new furniture.
He also asked people to dig a small pond in the house and plant lotus flowers.
The peach trees in the yard were transplanted from other places and then taken care of by gardeners at a high price.
At first Xue Jing thought that Si Heng was going back to Ganzhou to live there for a long time, but after a while he found out that this house was prepared for Qin Ruo.
Despite all the complaints, Xue Jing still managed to arrange the matter properly.
"Although 1000 taels is not a small amount, these furniture are all made of good materials, and the location is convenient for access." Qin Ruo nodded with satisfaction again.
Although this price was beyond her budget and much higher than the house she bought in Taihe County, she could understand it.
This is Yuncheng, Ganzhou, and its economic consumption is not on the same level as Taihe County.
When Zhou Dazhui came before, Qin Ruo asked him to inquire about the house prices here. She had an idea of the housing prices in Ganzhou.
"A Ruo, you misunderstood. I said 100 taels." Xue Jing quickly corrected Qin Ruo's words.
"By the way, I live in the house opposite. Send someone to call me if you need anything. You guys take a rest first. I have booked a table at the restaurant to welcome you tonight."
Xue Jing pointed to the house opposite and prepared to slip away, fearing that Qin Ruo would continue asking questions and he would be exposed.
One hundred taels? Qin Ruo thought she had heard it wrong.
"Oh my god! Sister, did the original owner have so much money that he didn't know where to spend it? This house only costs one hundred taels?" Qin Tiaotiao's surprised expression was exactly the same as Qin Ruo's.
Qin Ruo's heart was moved. She calmly called Xue Jing and said, "Brother Xue, may I ask who originally lived in this house? And who lives next door?"
The smile on Xue Jing's face froze suddenly. He laughed dryly a few times, but still told the truth.
"Ah Ruo, the house next to you is Ah Heng's. This house also... also belongs to Ah Heng. That guy has a lot of houses, and sooner or later he will have to sell them off. I think this place is suitable and the price is reasonable. I will arrange this place for you so that the good things don't go to outsiders."
"A Ruo, you... don't mind, right?" Xue Jing carefully observed Qin Ruo's expression, fearing that Qin Ruo would say no in the next second.
After hearing what Xue Jing said, Qin Ruo also understood why she felt a sense of familiarity as soon as she came in.
Aren’t these peach blossoms, small pond, and small attic the ideal house that I mentioned when I was chatting with Si Heng before?
Qin Ruo smiled faintly and waved at Xue Jing.
"How could that be? Brother Xue, I am grateful for your kindness. I like the layout of this house very much, but you don't have to be considerate of me when it comes to the price. Just follow the market price. Brother Xue, please send the house deed to me later."
"By the way, please take this opportunity to thank the Ninth Prince for me. Thank you for giving up your love."
Xue Jing agreed immediately, and his mission would be accomplished if Qin Ruo was willing to accept the house.
As for the price, that's easy to talk about! Anyway, the guy surnamed Si is not short of money.
