Chapter 1653: Buying Land
Chapter 1653: Buying Land Editor: Henyee Translations
Qiao Xuan extended an invitation to Zheng Sangge, urging him to stay for lunch, and the two continued their conversation afterward.
To Qiao Xuan’s astonishment, they successfully acquired 1,000 mu of land in the southern suburbs.
A middle-class affluent family was planning to relocate, selling off all their properties and fields except the ancestral home.
Despite the nominal 1,000 mu, the actual area exceeded 1,200 mu.
Zheng Sangge managed to secure the land at a remarkably low price, as those interested in purchasing such vast expanses couldn’t afford them.
Intrigued by the development, Qiao Xuan expressed keen interest in visiting them in a couple of days.
Coincidentally, it was the right time of the year to commence planting on the newly acquired land.
Additionally, Zheng Sangge had purchased a sizable house in compliance with Qiao Xuan’s specifications — it needed to be large and well-located.
The chosen residence was a spacious one on Huai’an Alley, the third street in the eastern part of the city.

The courtyard, spanning over 12 mu, boasted three entrances and a garden.
The new residence was conveniently located, allowing a carriage ride of just over a quarter of an hour to reach the state office.
Zheng Sangge informed Qiao Xuan that Anze Prefecture City was expansive but sparsely populated, with many vacant houses available for sale.
Having already arranged for the house to be cleaned, Qiao Xuan informed Zheng Sangge of her plan to visit them the next day.
She noticed that Zheng Sangge and the others were still staying at the inn, prompting her to suggest, “You can move into the house now.
It’s not too late.
Take Liu Fu, Aunt Song, and the others with you.
They can stay there as well.”
“Take some time to inspect the garden and consider where to establish a martial arts training ground.
It will serve as a training facility in the future!”
“We have Sun Bai, Sun Qian, Ah-Ye, and others here now.
You don’t need to worry.
When we require your assistance, Lord will seek it.
In case the government office is recruiting, would you mind holding a nominal position?”
With an official title, they could openly accompany Shao Yunduan.
Both Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan couldn’t treat them as mere servants, so an alternative justification was necessary.
Zheng Sangge agreed without hesitation, adding with a smile, “We’ll discuss it with Lord and Madam later.
We’ll serve as bailiffs!”
Despite their rough demeanor, being bailiffs seemed fitting.
Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan had been concerned that Zheng Sangge might be displeased, considering his past as a general.
However, he suggested it himself, much to Qiao Xuan’s amusement.
“If you’re comfortable with that, it’s perfect!”
Zheng Sangge remained calm, saying, “Madam, you’re overthinking.
There’s nothing to worry about.”
With that settled, Liu Fu, Ms.
Song, and Ms.
Miao began to make the move.
Xia Sanzhao and his family joined them.
Qiaoqiao and Qing Lian, not wanting to part, eagerly inquired if they could visit and play with Madam, Lixia, and Liqiu more often in the future.
Qiao Xuan happily agreed, allowing them to stay for a few days before making the move.
Excited, the two girls cheered, prompting Liu Fu, Xiao Er, and others to also express their eagerness to stay and play.
Qiao Xuan responded with a smile.
As the group departed, the east courtyard became noticeably emptier.
Fortunately, they gained some companions along the way.
During the journey, everyone became familiar with each other, providing ample opportunities to observe their behavior and temperament in various situations.
