    Su Binn also thought it was pretty cheap. She said, “Isnt that too cheap,


    First Granduncle Su?”


    Although the house was for Baili Jinghua and would be better if it were cheaper, Su Binn did not want her first granduncle to go against his principles. After all, he was the vige chief. Everyone in the vige was watching and wanted him to be just.


    First Granduncle Su chuckled and said, “Dont worry. Even if we tell others of this internal price, no one will be able to object. I still have to thank you because your Uncle Zhengde has been praising you, saying that you taught him how to develop bricks and form a construction team. His schedule is full until the end of the year, and he can barely handle it.”


    Old Madam Su replied smilingly, “Also, your aunt saw your furniture designs, and she likes them. She has wanted to open a furniture shop for a long time, so it’ll be convenient for your three cousins to build furniture with their carpentry skills.


    “Your aunt has been asking about you. She said you gave her and your uncle all your blueprints, and others can use them to make furniture in the future.” Old Madam Su referred to Su Zhengde and his wife, Zhou Shi.


    Zhou Shi had always wanted to open a furniture store, but she had yet to implement that idea because she did not know where to start. However, she got too excited when she saw Su Binn’s designs and could not put them down.


    “You don’t say. The furniture will look great when it’s done,” Su Binn said.


    Old Madam Su pulled her granddaughter along as they talked about their daily lives. Su Binn was also delighted, saying, “I’m happy that I was able to help Uncle Zhengde and Aunt Zhou Shi, but I didn’t need to do much since theyre smart.


    The Su family members were hardworking people who could always find ways to run their businesses.


    Old Madam Su continued, “Ever since your uncle formed a construction team and started building your new house, everyone can’t stop looking at it. That’s why many vigers joined his team to do construction.”


    Su Binn understood what her grandmother meant. The red bricks and her family’s new house were like free publicity for Su Zhengde. Everyone looked at the house and the construction team’s style and efficiency. They felt at ease helping him build the house.


    “That’s good.”


    “Yeah, your uncle recruited a few people from the vige. Everyone is grateful to him.”


    Su Binn knew it was not easy to find jobs in this era, especially in the vige. Since most worked with Su Zhengde’s team, they had more freedom because they were familiar with each other and would not feel anxious.


    Everyone helped each other and earned more money daily, which they could save. The vigers were always in good spirits as they took their payments home.


    Everyone knew they could convert their daily work into money. After all, anyone would be willing to work whenever money was involved.


    The vigers would be busy from spring to autumn if they nted crops, and no one could predict how much they could harvest. Therefore, they only knew how much they could earn after selling a portion of their crops.


    It was different from getting paid daily, as Su Zhengde’s construction team benefited many others.


    ‘i Uncle Zhengde will take on many projects and be a celebrity throughout the town in the future, Grandma. I’ll need his help to build more things too.”


    OldMadam Su said, “Listen to yourself. Your uncle and aunt want to thank you, so it’s only natural that they will oblige.”


    After chatting with her grandparents, Su Binn bought the vacant house for five silver taels and left. When she got home, she told Baili Jinghua about it. Baili Jinghua was in disbelief. ‘I R-Really? The house only cost five silver taels?!”


    Buying a house in the capital would cost at least a few thousand silver taels.


    Even the vige houses in the capital’s vicinity were expensive. Moreover, Baili Jinghua inquired about the prices of goods along the way. Even the slightly off-centered houses would cost a few hundred silver taels.


    Su Binn said, “Yes, the house was only five silver taels. The vige houses here are cheap. I’ll bring you to my granduncle’s house tomorrow for the payment, so you can take the documents he has stamped and go to the county office to do some papervvork. Then you will officially be a member of Su Teng Vige.”


    Baili Jinghua said excitedly, “Thank you so much, Miss Su!”


    “There’s no need to thank me. You can sleep at my ce tonight. We’ll share a room with Xihong, and my husband will share a room with my second brother.”


    “Okay.”


    After that, Su Binn and the others went back to their houses. Luo Jin’an and


    Su Wenxiu prepared their room, while Su Binn, Baili Jinghua, and Baili


    Xihong prepared the other. After heating their brick beds, they all went to


    A pigeon appeared outside the windowttice and buckled in the middle of the night. Since Luo Jin’an was a light sleeper, he instantly woke up and exited the room to go to the courtyard. He removed the paper strapped to the pigeon. Luo Jin’an’s expression changed when he read the paper’s contents.


    However, Su Binn and Baili Jinghua also opened their eyes when they heard the pigeon. Baili Jinghua had joined the army with her father in her earlier years, so she was very vignt.


    Su Binn and Baili Jinghua looked at each other as Su Binn said in a low voice, “It’s okay. I’ll go and take a look.”


    Baili Jinghuaid back down and thought this was not an ordinary family. Nheless, she felt more at ease living here when she saw Major General Wei.


    She trusted whoever Major General Wei trusted, even more, not to mention Su Binn had saved her and helped her settle down in the vige. Baili Jinghua was even more grateful to her.


    Baili Jinghua thought that buying the cheapest house in the vige would cost at least a few dozen silver. She felt she would not have much money left after buying the house and would have to think of ways to earn more.


    She never expected to save a lot of money this time. With the money she had left, Baili Jinghua could start a small business, or rather, she wanted to work by Su Binn’.s side because she knew how capable Su Binn was.


    Baili Jinghua had just discovered that Su Binn was the one who developed all the delicious food she had and truly admired her. She wondered how old Su Binn was, especially since she was as capable as Princess Lan Roubing.


    Meanwhile, Luo Jin’an heard footsteps behind him. Still, he did not intend to hide these things from Su Binn. If he were on guard against his wife, he would not have let the pigeon appear at their house.


    Su Binn did not ask why the pigeon appeared. She only saw Luo Jin’an’s solemn expression through the moonlight. She asked, “Did something happen?


    Luo Jin’an nodded and replied, “There’s a gue in the capital. I need to leave.”


    Since the couple trusted each other more now, Luo Jin’an knew he could tell certain things to his wife.


    “Are you going to the capital?”


    “Yes.”


    Su Binn asked, “How long will it take?”


    “I’m not sure. Maybe a month. Maybe more.”


    “Aren’t you going to celebrate the Mooncake Festival with us?” Su Binn still hoped her husband could celebrate the Mooncake Festival at home. Although Luo Jin’an did not talk much, Su Binn had grown ustomed to having him around.


    “I’m already toote,” Luo Jin’an said.


    Su Binn nodded. “Okay, I understand. Wait a moment.”


    Then she went to pack her husband’s bag with food, water, some bottles, and some jars. She also included a piece of paper as she exined, “This prescription might cure the gue..”
