Chapter 285 - Chapter 285: Chapter 293: The Reason Behind It (2/2)

At this moment, Su Wenyue was also in high spirits, as lately, one good thing followed another. Seeing Grandma Chen’s reaction, she couldn’t help but comment with a smile, “There’s nothing so extraordinary about it. Anything that can be accomplished has its own rationale, and besides, I didn’t come up with this method on my own; I read about it in a book.”

In fact, Su Wenyue learned it in her previous life, much of it thanks to Noble Consort Li. It was Noble Consort Li who had come up with the idea, and when it later became widespread, it was no longer considered extraordinary—it just hadn’t appeared yet at this time.

Thinking about it, Noble Consort Li was about the same age as her, but at this time, she hadn’t gained any fame. The same was true in her previous life; it was only one or two years later that Noble Consort Li’s renown began to spread. Su Wenyue always found this aspect a little strange because it was unusual for someone to remain obscure for more than a decade and then suddenly undergo a dramatic change in demeanor, becoming exceptionally brilliant. This scenario was oddly similar to her current situation.

With the experience of rebirth, Su Wenyue thought more deeply and became more sensitive. In her previous life, she had simply found Noble Consort Li to be shrouded in mystery and felt mainly admiration and pity for her. But now, she was curious about Noble Consort Li’s background. Could it be that Noble Consort Li had a similar bizarre experience? Were those skills and knowledge really her own, or like her, learned from others?

In Yiyang, because Han Yu left early, he arrived at Yiyang Prefecture in the morning and first visited Deng Tong. He had learned about the House from Deng Tong.

“Brother Deng, I didn’t expect to see you again so soon. I must trouble you with another matter this time.”

“What are you talking about? With the friendship between you and me, there’s no question of trouble! It just so happened that someone wanted to sell a house, and I found out about it, so I kept it in mind. When I went to see it, I thought the House was quite nice, but it’s rather large. I’m not sure if you would need such a big place—a four-entry courtyard, originally built quite spacious, and it comes with a Back Garden. Next to the backyard, there’s an additional three to four acres of vacant land. I know your younger sister-in-law is hardworking; if she’s willing, the servants could cultivate it to grow some fruits and vegetables.”

Hearing Deng Tong say this, Han Yu was already somewhat interested, as many conditions met his Daughter-in-law’s requirements. The next step was to see the location and price of the House; if suitable, he would buy it sooner so they could start dealing with the following matters and ease his Daughter-in-law’s mind.

“I’ll take you to see it. Just in time to communicate with the homeowner and see if it’s a good fit. If not, we can look for another,” said Deng Tong as he led Han Yu to the location. The House was not far from his place. It was only about a quarter-hour’s ride in a horse carriage, in a location relatively close to the main street—otherwise, it wouldn’t have caught his interest.

The homeowner was already waiting there, “To tell the truth, if it weren’t for the hard times forcing me, I would have been reluctant to sell this ancestral property. The House was built with a lot of effort, and we even had a renowned artisan from Chang’an City help with the construction.”

Han Yu toured the House and was generally satisfied with almost everything. There were only some minor areas to adjust, but no significant issues. He also found the asking price reasonable and decided to buy the property without hesitation, knowing such an opportunity was rare and difficult to come by. Hesitation could mean missing out if someone else snapped it up.

“Master, the matter has been settled. Han Yu has purchased that House, and even the transfer procedures have been handled at the Yamen. As soon as it’s redecorated and cleaned, we can move in.”
