Song Xiangsi had originally planned to sleep in her own room after Meng Ling Xuanxuan fell asleep, but the man's embrace was too comfortable and warm, causing her to unknowingly fall asleep just like that. When she woke up again, it was already the next morning.
Meng Ling Xuan had long since woken up. He was holding his hands and looking at her with a gentle look on his face. Upon seeing her wake up, he immediately laughed. "Young lady, you've finally woken up?"
Song Xiangsi's face turned red as she glared at the man before pushing him away, "Pui!" He narrowed his eyes and smiled, "You lecher!"
The two frolicked on the bed for a while longer before Song Xiangsi got up and went to prepare breakfast.
The Song Family's breakfast was always light. In the morning, it was simple porridge and steamed buns. Song Xiangsi then fried two side dishes to eat. Because of her culinary skills, the two children ate happily.
During this period of time, not to mention Zhou Xiufang and the others, even Song Xiangsi felt extremely tired. Therefore, she just waved her hand, preparing to close up for the day and let the three of them go home to rest. She also planned to have a good rest for the day.
Just from the bids by the dancers and singers alone, the price had already reached one hundred silver. Thus, today, Wen Niang had her share of the silver sent over to Song Xiangsi, a total of five hundred silver. In addition to the three hundred silver that she had earned previously, it was enough for her to buy a new house in the town.
Faced with such a sizeable amount of income, Song Xiangsi could not help but sigh at the ecclesiastical department for making money. At the same time, she could not help but start calculating in her heart.
A few days ago, the stall had been burnt down and only a simple shed had been built. Most of the goods were kept in her room, and the house was so crowded that she wondered if she should use this money to buy another house and separate it from the shop.
He wanted to get Wen Niang to help him pay attention to whether or not there were families in the county that were in a hurry to sell off their houses. At that time, he would directly buy ready-made houses to live in.
However, this was all in the future. She decided to take some money to take her little brother and sister to the county city for a good stroll and to buy some things for the family. As summer was about to arrive, she had to add two more summer quilts for them.
Not only her, Song Xiaoxiao and Song Cheng were also very happy, especially Song Xiaoxiao. When she heard that they were going out to buy something, she listed out a bunch of things, then looked up at Song Xiangsi with a smile and asked, "Big sis, there's so much stuff here, can I buy them all?"
The little girl's eyes were sparkling as she looked at her with excitement.
Song Xiangsi's heart softened. She gently patted her sister's head and smiled, "It can be bought. As long as Xiaoxiao likes it, she can buy it for you."
When Song Xiaoxiao heard this, she giggled happily. Although Song Cheng was also very happy, he was still much calmer than Song Xiaoxiao. He only pursed his lips and laughed softly.
Song Xiangsi smiled and asked, "Cheng, do you have anything you want to buy?"
Song Cheng tilted his head and thought for a moment, then said seriously, "I want to buy two books."
He was learning literacy very quickly now, and the books in his house were no longer enough to satisfy his curiosity. Therefore, when Song Cheng heard that he could buy things, he immediately wanted to buy books.
Song Xiangsi was slightly surprised as she looked at Song Cheng in surprise. He was just a seven year old child, yet he was already so old. He didn't want to buy some small stuff, he actually wanted to buy books. A standard bookworm.
Thinking that this bookworm was still her own brother, Song Xiangsi felt a sense of pride. She immediately waved her hand, "Alright, let's do as you say. We'll go to the bookstore and get whatever books you like. Don't worry about the money. Big Sis is is rich."
Song Cheng's eyes lit up and he quickly nodded his head. Song Xiaoxiao clapped happily, "Great! Big Sis is rich now. We can buy whatever we want in the future!"
Song Xiangsi smiled lightly. She patted the heads of the two children and had them return to her room to change. She then went to Meng Ling Xuan's room.
After a short period of rest, he had basically recovered enough. At this moment, he was sitting at the table in the room, a piece of paper spread out in front of him, writing something down on it. He was frowning slightly, and the expression on his face was somewhat grave.
Song Xiangsi raised her eyebrows and walked forward. "What are you doing?"
Seeing her come in, Meng Liangxuan didn't avoid her seeing the contents on the paper. He directly grabbed her wrist, pulled her into his embrace, and said in a low voice, "I am writing something for someone to bring back to the capital. What do you want from me?"
Song Xiangsi glanced at the paper on the table but did not pay any attention to its contents. She recounted the matter of Wen Niang sending someone over to give away the split. After thinking for a while, she told him of her plans to buy a house.
Meng Huaxuan raised an eyebrow, his handsome brows slightly knitted. "Buying a house?"
Song Xiangsi smiled and nodded, "Yes, I plan to buy a mansion nearby and renovate it myself."
Meng Ling Xuan pursed his lips, the smile on his face was a bit faint. After a while, he slowly said, "Didn't we agree that you will follow me to the capital city in a few days' time?"
Hearing that, Song Xiangsi tilted her head and thought for a moment before replying, "But I don't have a conflict with this matter of buying the house."
Suddenly, he turned his head and looked at Song Xiangsi with a heavy gaze. He narrowed his eyes and spoke with uncertainty, "You're regretting it. Don't you want to go to the capital with me?"
He did not understand why he would suddenly say that, but after some thought, he thought it through and quickly explained, "I don't mean it that way. Since I have already decided on you, I will definitely not go back on my word, and I have indeed agreed to follow you back to the capital. But my shop is still here, and my business is doing well.
Hearing these words, Meng Ling Xuan seemed to think differently. The awkwardness in his heart disappeared. Raising his eyebrows, he couldn't help but ask, "So?"
"So before I go to the capital, I want to settle the matter with the shop and buy a house on the side for Master, Lian'er and A-Jiao to stay in. In the future, I'll let them help me take care of the shop, and when the time comes, I'll just take a share of the profits every month. When the time comes, I'll open a shop in the capital."
