"These banknotes were saved by my elder brother during his years of practicing medicine. The amount is not very large, only 8,000 taels. If the cost of building such a courtyard is too high, many details can be reduced."
He Ziming is not a novice who doesn't know anything. Let alone building a house in a barren land like the northwest, even in the capital, 8,000 taels can buy a three-bedroom apartment.
It was just that he, like Mrs. He, felt that the glazed windows were very valuable, so he thought that the money might not be enough.
"Brother, how can we spend so much money to build a yard like ours?" Besides, she had no intention of accepting any money from them.
He Zhiran pushed the banknote back.
"You don't need to worry about building a house. Just treat me as a filial father to my daughter."
As the eldest son in the family, how could He Ziming ask his sister to pay for building a house for his parents?
He gave the banknote away again.
"Do you think your eldest brother is incompetent? He doesn't even have the ability to build a house for your parents."
"Brother, that's not what I meant. You are your parents' child, and so am I. It doesn't matter who pays for the money. Besides, you plan to open a medical clinic here, and you will also need money for turnover. I earned it in the northwest. For some money, can you fulfill my filial piety this time?" He Zhiran resolutely refused to accept He Ziming's banknote.
Mrs. He felt very comforted when she saw the banknotes being pushed back and forth in the hands of the two brothers and sisters.
Brother, friend and sister Gong are vividly reflected in them.
There are many noble families in the capital, and there are countless brothers or brothers and sisters who frame each other and scheming in order to compete for more benefits.
Her pair of children are both thinking about each other. It is a great honor for her to have a pair of such children in her life.
"Okay, you two don't make any money. Your father and I have saved some money over the years, and we will pay for the house ourselves.
If you are really filial, live your own life well and let your father and I have less to worry about. This will be more practical than giving us a mountain of gold and silver. "
Mrs. He's words are very down-to-earth. What mother doesn't want her children to live a smooth and comfortable life?
He Zhiran is not that hypocritical. It doesn't cost much money to build a house anyway. It doesn't matter who pays for it.
"In that case, just listen to my mother and ask your husband to go find Brother Hu for help tomorrow."
Get the house built before winter comes.
Although it was a bit off-topic just now, He Zhiran had not forgotten about Lan'er and his eldest brother.
"Brother, do you know your feelings for Lan'er?"
"She doesn't seem to know." He Ziming has never been like this before, speaking with so little confidence, which shows that he has been thinking that he was wishful thinking.
He Zhiran knew Lan'er's temperament and her purpose of coming to the northwest with him.
If she and Mo Jiuye hadn't stopped him at the beginning, I'm afraid there would be no Lan'er in this world.
After a period of contact, she knew that Lan'er was very determined. Even if she had feelings for He Ziming, she might not agree and continue to stick to her original promise.
"Brother, don't rush to express your feelings about this matter. I'll find time to test Lan'er.
What two people talk about together is your love and my will. If Lan'er doesn't want to, let's not force it. "
She didn't want He Ziming to have too high hopes. As the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
"I understand this. If Miss Lan'er doesn't want to, I promise I won't pester you." He Ziming quickly expressed his stance.
Mrs. He listened to the conversation between the brother and sister and didn't know what to say.
The two brothers and sisters simply ignored her. No matter whether she agreed with her son to marry Lan'er or not, they would not listen to her opinion.
No matter what, she didn't reject her son's relationship very much anyway, so everything just took its course.
Seeing that his mother had nothing to say, He Zhiran stood up.
"I've been out for a while and went back to see the two children."
"I'll go with you." Mrs. He also stood up. Her two little grandchildren would be missed if they were not seen for a while.
Just like this, if she returns to the capital, she won't be able to eat well if she can't see those two treasures.
When He Zhiran and Mrs. He returned to the room, Lan'er was still there, but both mother and daughter had a tacit understanding and didn't show anything strange.
It wasn't until after dark that everyone dispersed, and Lan'er brought a basin of water into He Zhiran's room, and He Zhiran stopped her.
"Lan'er, when I brought you and Yu'er back to the northwest, I didn't even ask about your ages."
Lan'er has a very sensitive temperament, and Madam Ninth often finds some topics to chat with her, but she has never asked such a question.
However, she still answered politely: "Mrs. Ninth, Lan'er and Yu'er are the same age, and they are exactly eighteen this year."
In the Dashun Dynasty, women generally began to discuss marriage at the age of fifteen. If there was no physical disability, they were basically married at the age of sixteen.
Lan'er and Yu'er are eighteen years old this year and have become veritable old girls here.
"You and Yu'er are so beautiful. If I didn't tell you, I wouldn't have known that you were already eighteen years old." He Zhiran did not get to the point immediately, but saw Lan'er's eyes dodge, as if she was worried.
She planned to keep the conversation between them as light-hearted as possible.
"Look at me, before my eighteenth birthday, I have already become the mother of two children."
"This is Mrs. Ninth's good fortune. She gave birth to two children at once, and she still has both sons and daughters." Lan'er thought He Zhiran was sighing for something, and the nervousness she felt just now was no longer in her heart.
He Zhiran continued to talk to her one after another. Seeing that Lan'er was completely relaxed, she said: "Have you and Yu'er ever thought about how to live in the future? You can't live in the Mo family all your life. Do these rough jobs?
Besides, you don’t have any contract to sell yourself, you are all free. "
When Lan'er heard what He Zhiran said, she knelt down in front of her.
"Mrs. Ninth, when Yu'er and I followed you back to the northwest, we just wanted to wait until the day when the princess's revenge was avenged, go to her grave to pay homage, and tell her the news. We never thought of anything else.
Originally, Lan'er no longer had any nostalgia for the world, but thanks to the Mo family's preferential treatment, I rekindled my desire for life.
At this time, Lan'er was willing to stay in the Mo family forever, even if she was a cow or a horse. "
Lan'er was smart and immediately understood the meaning of He Zhiran's words.
Moreover, when she met Mr. He just now, Mrs. He was also present. She blushed a little. I wonder if Mrs. He saw any clues. If it was because of this, Mrs. Ninth planned to betroth herself to someone else. .
Therefore, she must make her position clear before Madam Ninth speaks.
Now that He Zhiran had opened his mouth, he had no intention of stopping halfway.
