"It's too expensive to buy it directly. I have a thick quilt here. You can cover it up for the next two days."
It's too cold outside, so she plans to go back to the space to sleep in the next two days.
Xie Yanzhi was not curious about her, and he just nodded his head and said yes.
While Xie Yanzhi was cleaning his room, Li Yuan wandered around the house in the second courtyard.
She found that although the area was not much larger than the Yijin Hospital in Liuyun County, it had several more rooms.
This house also has a well, and the kitchen is still located in the east wing of the first courtyard.
However, one thing that is better than Xie's house in Liuyun County is that it has several toilets, instead of having to rely on barrels to solve internal emergencies.
"Yuan Niang, come here!"
Just when Li Yuan was seriously visiting the house, Xie Yanzhi came over and waved to her from a distance.
"What's wrong?"
Li Yuan asked as she walked towards him.
Xie Yanzhi said nothing. When Li Yuan approached, he took out a purse from his sleeve pocket and handed it to her.
"I don't have much money with me when I go out this time. You can see how to use the money here first. Just buy whatever you want. When we go out later, we will go separately. You first buy things for Junzi and Miss Wang to get married. , I will buy the remaining rice, noodles and medicinal materials. By the way, you know how to get back here, right?"
Li Yuan knew that time was tight, and she didn't feel that Xie Yan had to accompany her since she was new here.
After nodding and saying "I know", I opened my purse in front of him.
Seeing two banknotes inside, each with a denomination of fifty taels, he asked, "Can I use this money as I please?"
"Of course, you are my recognized wife. When I get back, I will come to propose marriage. Isn't my money also yours?
I make money just to live a comfortable life without having to worry about money, so you just use it. If it's not enough, just tell me.
When we get married, I will hand over all the money and land deeds to you for safekeeping, and I will receive monthly silver from you every month from now on. "
Li Yuan no longer knew what to say. Did this guy really recognize her?
I am not afraid that she, a so-called immortal, will turn her back on him after taking the money.
"Okay, then I'll accept the money. After a while, I'll go to the silver house to buy some dowry jewelry for Canniang, then a betrothal jewelry for Junzi, and a pair of lilac earrings for Miaomiao. Then I'll go to the cloth shop. I want to buy some cloth from the village, and then I have to go to the embroidery shop to buy new styles of headdresses for the two girls..."
"Well, you decide which ones to buy today. If you buy more, let the store give it to you. We can buy the rest during the day tomorrow. Let's try our best to go back before dark tomorrow."
"OK!"
If this was the case, she would be delayed here for one night, so she had to go faster today, and then go to the street to buy more things and come back to cook.
It doesn't matter what she eats herself, she can buy it on the street or at the inn on the way back to the city.
Unfortunately, Xie Yanzhi could only eat the food she made. If it was mixed with food that was not made by her, he would be in bad luck when the time comes.
Just like the morning before yesterday, when I set out, I ate buns bought from outside.
As a result, at midnight, while he was asleep, there was a sudden thud. At some point, an extra piece of wood fell down from the top of the carriage and hit him on the head.
Fortunately, it's not the forehead or the face, otherwise I might not be able to go out today.
Fortunately, she prepared a lot of food and quickly took a piece of pancake that he usually eats from the space, and everything was fine after that!

Even though Xie Yanzhi looks like a weak scholar, he is still very efficient in doing things.
While Li Yuan was buying jewelry at the silver building, he first found several rice and grain shops near his home.
Rice, white flour and all kinds of whole grains and miscellaneous noodles, each family needs one hundred kilograms of each.
In addition, I also bought a lot of various beans, as well as extremely cheap sweet potato rice that can be used as food.
He only paid 20% of the silver to each house, and then asked the other party to deliver the goods to their door within the time specified by him, and then settled the remaining 80%.
After he bought the last rice and grain store, he went to the nearby herbal medicine store.
But when he walked out of the medicine shop, he heard a loud noise coming from not far ahead.
Fucheng is bustling, and no matter how cold the weather is, there are still people coming and going on the streets.
At this time, some people had gathered around where the sound came from.
He followed the sound and saw a slightly familiar face.
It was a woman in her twenties, wearing a thick coat made of fine cotton, with two hairpins and a pearl hairpin in her hair.
She was accompanied by a girl, who was making a fuss at the door of a rice and grain shop he had just visited before.
If he is just a familiar person, after looking at him and realizing that he doesn't recognize him, he will turn around and leave.
But Yang Gaowu was not from the Yang family, and the woman looked like Zhang, which made him have to think more.
He had a good memory since he was a child and knew that the eldest Zhang family had never given birth to a daughter. In his natal family, except for the little Zhang family, all the others were sons.
This had to arouse his suspicion.
This person looks so much like the Zhang family, and Gao Wu is not from the Yang family. Could it be that these two people were swapped in the first place?
The woman in front of me, like Da Zhang, looks thin and small, and even the way she talks is the same.

Perhaps this place was the only place to go back to Xie Yanzhi's house for the second time. Li Yuan, who had already bought a lot of things, was also walking this way.
Hearing the noise not far away, she didn't want to join in the fun. When she saw Xie Yanzhi, who was a head taller than everyone else in the crowd, she raised her voice and shouted: "Brother Xie!"
Xie Yanzhi heard Li Yuan's voice and turned around to see that she didn't carry many things in her hands. After breathing a sigh of relief, he squeezed out of the crowd and walked to her.
"Yuan Niang, I'm carrying the things. You go into the crowd and take a look."
"What are you looking at?"
"You'll know when you go in and see."
Li Yuan's curiosity was aroused by him, so she handed him everything and squeezed in flexibly.
When he saw the woman still standing at the door of the rice and grain store shouting, her eyes narrowed.
She thought she should know what Xie Yanzhi meant.
I don’t know who this woman is, what her name is, which family she belongs to, and which family she belongs to.
What's the fuss about now?
When it comes to asking people, Xie Yanzhi, who is very eloquent and willing to spend money, is the best at it.
Before Li Yuan finished watching the play, and before she could extract much useful information from the comments of the people around her, Xie Yanzhi called her again.
"Yuan Niang, let's go home first!"
Based on a tacit understanding, Li Yuan knew that he already knew the news, so she responded: "Okay!"
The two of them didn't speak on the way. When they got home, Xie Yanzhi asked Li Yuan to put things away before he spoke.
"The woman's husband's surname is Gao and her maiden name is Chen. She is twenty-two this year. Both the Gao family and the Chen family are well-known wealthy businessmen in the city. However, the Chen family's status is not as good as that of the Gao family. They are twenty-two. Those who moved to Fucheng many years ago and gradually became wealthy are not as good as the Gao family."
"Brother Xie, tell the important point!"
