Chapter 117 Building a new house
"Young Master, what do you think of this room? If you are not satisfied, I will take you to see another one." Xun Dong asked Qin Ziyan for his opinion with a faint smile.
Qin Ziyan came back to his senses, nodded to Xun Dong, and said, "No need, this is great. Thank you for your help."
He was already satisfied that Qin Ruo could take a step back and let him come to the house. How could he have the right to be picky?
"Thank you for your courtesy, young master. Please take a rest first. If you need anything, please feel free to tell me." Xun Dong smiled, knelt down and bowed, then walked out.
Qin Ziyan sat in the room, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.
When facing Qin Ruo, he was afraid of her, but he couldn't help wanting to get closer to her.
The appearance of Qin Ruo not only shattered Qin Ziyan's arrogance, but also destroyed his former sense of superiority.
Seeing Qin Ruo's patience in treating Qin Zimu, her kindness to the Zhou brothers, and her indulgence of Qin Tiaotiao, he couldn't help but feel a little jealous.
He knew very well that with Qin Ruo's abilities, there was a lot of opportunities out there and she didn't need to stay in the Qin family at all.
Qin Ruo bought houses and restaurants in Taihe County with ease, which shows his ability.
While having dinner at the restaurant tonight, from the tone of Master Xue Jing, it seems that Qin Ruo will leave here sooner or later and fly into the wider world outside.
Thinking of this, Qin Ziyan couldn't sleep.
It was almost dawn when I finally closed my eyes.
So when I woke up the next day, I actually overslept for the first time ever. Fortunately, the New Year is coming soon, and there is not much homework, so it doesn't affect me much.
When he got up, Xun Dong told him that Qin Ruo had already taken Banxia and Qin Tiaotiao back to Changhe Village.
Before leaving, Qin Ruo asked Xun Dong to tell him that if Qin Ziyan was willing, he could come back to live at the house if the academy had holidays.
At the same time, she asked Xundong to tell him.
In the future, if I have free time, I will temporarily act as the birthday teacher for Hu Zi and the maids in the mansion.
Teach these people to read and write.
As for the poster matter at the restaurant, I will contact Xundong later and he will pay the remuneration.
Qin Ruo did not mention any remuneration for teaching people to read and write, which made Qin Ziyan feel relieved.
What he feared most was Qin Ruo's official attitude.
"Master, if there is no problem on your side, please arrange a time. I will ask Hu Zi and the other sisters in the mansion to come and meet you so that you can make plans. The master said that it is okay if you don't have time..."
"No problem. I'll tell you when I get back to the academy and plan my time." Qin Ziyan interrupted Xun Dong in a hurry.
If Qin Ruo hadn't suggested that he be a temporary teacher, how could he feel at ease living in this house?
After all, I swore an oath with Old Lady Qin when I left Changhe Village last time.
In the future, I will earn all the expenses for my studies by my own ability and will never take advantage of Qin Ruo.
"Okay, Master. I'll tell her when the Master returns."
"Thank you. It's been a hassle." Qin Ziyan was polite from the beginning. He didn't seem to be upset on the surface, but he was very happy in his heart.
After having breakfast at the house, Qin Ziyan hurried back to the academy.
As for Qin Ruo, she has already returned to the Qin family in Changhe Village.
Old Mrs. Qin was feeding chickens in the yard and was very happy to see Qin Ruo.
Her health has improved a lot these days, so she has no problem doing light work.
This batch of chicks weighing more than one pound were specially brought back from Datong Township by her.
I was sick in bed a while ago and stayed in bed for more than half a month. After I got better, I felt anxious when I had nothing to do.
Especially after knowing that Qin Ruo was not his biological granddaughter Qin Qiuxi, he became even more worried, fearing that Qin Ruo would despise the Qin family as a burden and leave.
A few days ago, Qin Ruo said that she was going to Taihe County to do some business and would be back in a few days.
Whenever she had time, she would look towards the village entrance, and finally the person she had been waiting for came back.
"Ruo'er, have you had breakfast? Grandma will make some for you."
Old Mrs. Qin put down the work in her hands and was very attentive.
She didn't know who Banxia and Qin Tiaotiao were, and Qin Ruo didn't introduce them to her.
But since it was brought back by Qin Ruo, I just have to take good care of it.
The most important thing is not to mess with that little ancestor Qin Ruo.
"Don't bother. We all came back after eating. Just go and do your thing." Qin Ruo always spoke directly. She waved at Old Lady Qin and walked into the house.
When Old Lady Qin saw Qin Ruo enter the house and Banxia was moving things down from the carriage, she hurried forward to help.
The things on the carriage were basically what the Xie family had forced upon Qin Ruo last time, and they were all food and daily necessities.
"Old lady, please take a rest. I am strong and I will move these things. I am a maid serving the young lady. You can just call me Banxia." Banxia stopped and smiled.
"Okay, okay..." Old Lady Qin looked at Banxia, who was small in stature but very strong, and was afraid of making things worse if she went forward, so she took the initiative to step aside.
When he heard Banxia claiming to be Qin Ruo's servant, an expression of pride appeared on his face.
His granddaughter was really capable, she even had servants serving her.
But when I thought about the fact that there were only a few rooms at home and they were not enough for everyone to live in, I felt a little worried.
Qin Tiaotiao was squatting under a big tree at this time, playing with ants out of boredom with a branch.
Originally, Qin Ruo had not planned to bring him back this time, but Qin Tiao Tiao insisted on coming, so Qin Ruo let him go.
Old Mrs. Qin looked at Qin Tiaotiao who was squatting under the tree, then turned back to look at Banxia, and suddenly became even more worried.
Judging from the way Qin Tiaotiao is dressed, he is a wealthy young man.
Now that Ruo'er has brought the person back, she will have to live here anyway, so that this young master can share the space with Erlang?
It doesn't seem appropriate.
Qin Ruo went back to the house to pack her things. When she came out, she saw Old Lady Qin with a worried look on her face and a distracted look.
"What's wrong with you? Did something happen at home?" Qin Ruo asked puzzledly.
"Oh, Ruo'er. It's okay. Everything is fine at home. I just heard from Banxia that she is your maid and is thinking about how to arrange the living quarters. Our house is not big enough for her."
"Also, which noble family is that young master's child? We're going to arrange for him to spend time with Erlang tonight. Do you think this is okay?"
When Old Lady Qin saw Qin Ruo didn't say anything, she immediately thought she had said something wrong.
He immediately took Qin Ruo's hand and whispered, "Ruo'er, don't worry. It's not that I don't welcome the people you bring back. I'm just worried that we won't entertain them well enough and people will laugh at us."
Seeing the nervous look on Old Lady Qin's face, Qin Ruo was amused instead.
The transformation of this old lady is really extraordinary. It seems that she has really found her place.
"Grandma, don't worry. Banxia and Tiaotiao won't live here for long. In the future, they will both have to live with me in Taihe County."
"But you reminded me that our house is a bit old, and it's not big enough for someone to come over occasionally. Let's build a new house after the New Year."
As soon as Qin Ruo said this, Old Lady Qin's eyes became wet.
This was the first time that Qin Ruo called her grandma in person. Old Mrs. Qin was wondering if Ruo had really accepted this family.
To the extent that, she didn't listen to a word Qin Ruo said about building a house.
