Chapter 1540: 1540 bought 2000 acres of good farmland

"Ask," Su Qingyue instructed.

Yinzhu cautiously said, "Young Lady, are you going to the capital city because you can’t let go of the young Master?"

Su Qingyue’s facial expression stiffened briefly, "Why would you think that? It’s merely a coincidence. The capital city is more suitable for development, for expanding power."

"Oh. I thought you were still hung up on the young Master."

"That’s not it."

"Young Lady, this carriage is moving too slowly. Shall I drive faster? I wouldn’t want to delay your journey."

"No need, let’s just continue at this pace." Su Qingyue was pregnant and didn’t want to jostle the child in her belly.

"Oh." Yinzhu could only comply with the Young Lady’s wishes.

The journey to the capital city was long and arduous, taking them one and a half months to arrive.

On the outskirts of the capital, Fu Chou, the subordinate Su Qingyue had arranged to meet them, had already come to greet them.

Inside the carriage, Su Qingyue and her servant were driven into the capital city by Fu Chou.

Both sides of the street featured tea houses, pawnshops, taverns, rice shops, silk stores, and so forth. Vendors laid out their goods on the empty land in front of the stores, enthusiastically hawking various snacks and wares.

People bustled about, some hurrying on their way, some driving carriages, others idling about, or standing to haggle a price. Every so often, a crowd would gather around a street performer’s acrobatics. High buildings were everywhere, depicting a prosperous, lively scene!

"Wow!" Yinzhu lifted the carriage curtain, admiring as they went, "Young Master, the capital truly is a place of outstanding people and spirit. I... I have seen many bustling towns with you along the way, but none are as magnificent as the capital!"

"That’s exactly why we’ve come," Su Qingyue lay lazily on the carriage’s soft couch. The carriage looked ordinary on the outside, but inside it was lined with a comfortable bed, had a small end table and a compartment at the back specifically for food and clothing. It was much more comfortable than a regular carriage.

Fu Chou stopped the carriage on a fairly bustling street and lifted the curtain, "Master, we’ve arrived."

Su Qingyue and her servant alighted from the carriage and looked up at the Mansion that bore the plaque ’Su Mansion.’

Upon seeing Fu Chou, the gatekeeper immediately came to greet them, "I, Chang Man, have the honor of seeing Master Fu."

Fu Chou respectfully glanced at Su Qingyue and introduced her to the gatekeeper, "This is our master, Lord Su."

"Greetings, Master." Chang Man bowed precisely.

Su Qingyue surveyed Chang Man and noticed his firm, powerful footsteps, and the restrained energy within him, clearly marking him as a practitioner.

She now had plenty of money and did not want to waste time picking servants personally—such small matters. She had ordered Fu Chou to select the servants in advance, and he had also purchased the Mansion in the name of Tianji Pavilion.

Upon entering the Mansion, two rows of servants bowed respectfully: "We greet the Master!"

As Su Qingyue and Jiang Zhuyin walked through the Su Mansion, they admired the intricately carved beams and painted eaves, artificial hills and flowing waters, as well as jade-studded railings. The pavilions, towers, and rooms were exquisitely designed, and the furniture in each room was very refined.

Fu Chou followed beside them and explained, "This Mansion originally belonged to a new wealthy family with the surname Wang. But since the Wang Family’s son turned out to be a gambler and racked up a mountain of debt, they were desperate to sell the property for cash. Seeing it was suitable, the subordinate also thought it matched the Master’s requirements for buying a place. What do you think, are you satisfied?"

"Although this location might not be the best in the capital, it is certainly not bad either. Considering the land area and the quality of the construction materials, the property is worth at least 20,000 taels. You’ve done well, buying it for only 10,000 taels."

"It was also a bit of luck that I came across someone in urgent need of money."

"If you continue to serve me well, I will not treat you unfairly. Go to the Accountant’s Room later and claim a reward of 5,000 taels of silver."
