The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 805

Chapter 805: Chapter 687, Lesson

Daohua brought the information Xiao Yeyang had gathered about the land to Madam Li in the main yard.

Madam Li flipped through the papers and smiled, "I was just planning to acquire some land for our family. Unfortunately, having recently arrived in Beijing, we don’t have many connections. The butler has been looking for a while but hasn’t found anything suitable. It seems Yeyang is more capable. These estates all look good."

Daohua smiled. "Mother, please take your time to choose. These are all left behind by nobles, and the lands are connected, making them easy to manage."

Seeing her daughter leisurely eating fruit, Madam Li smiled and asked, "Have you made your choice?"

Daohua nodded. "The estates here in Beijing are not very large; I have selected a few that are over a thousand acres."

Once Daohua had made her selections, Madam Li didn’t stand on ceremony and began choosing earnestly.

Daohua sat by and watched as Madam Li selected several estates that were around a hundred acres each. She couldn’t help but say, "Mother, it’s better to choose bigger estates."

Madam Li smiled and didn’t keep it from Daohua. "These estates are not for our family. Yishuang and the others are grown up now, and these will be prepared for their dowries. Although our family has split, we still need to add to the dowry when Yihuan and Yile get married."

Hearing this, Daohua didn’t say any more. "Mother, are you already looking for matches for Yishuang and the others?"

Speaking of this, Madam Li felt a headache coming on. "Yihuan is only a few months younger than you, and I’m worried about her marriage arrangements. We’re new to Beijing and don’t know many people; finding a suitable family might take some time."

Daohua replied, "There’s no rush; we can take our time."

Madam Li smiled. "Rushing won’t help; Yihuan and the others will have to wait for you to get married before they can marry."

Over the next few days, Madam Li and Daohua were busy buying estates.

Daohua called Xiaoliu and had him take Yan Shouhou to inspect the selected estates in person and discuss important considerations regarding Beijing with him.

As for the family lands, she didn’t interfere at all.

...

Not many larger estates in Beijing were up for sale, and many people who wanted to buy couldn’t find the connections.

In the case of the Eight Princes Party, several officials were investigated, and those in the know were aware of many vacated estates. However, compared to those wanting to buy, there were far more seekers than available properties—it was a time when wide connections mattered most. _{freeweɓnovel.cѳm}

The Han Family also wanted to take this opportunity to buy some estates; they still had several daughters to marry off and needed to prepare dowries. Hearing that the Yan Family was buying estates, they knew the Yan family had connections, so the Han Family sent someone to find Han Xinran.

When Han Xinran heard the message delivered by the butler nanny who assisted her mother, her brow furrowed. She knew her family was buying land; if this were in Zhongzhou, her mother-in-law wouldn’t have excluded her, but this time she hadn’t been informed at all, indicating she was still in their bad books.

Seeing Han Xinran hesitate, the butler nanny felt compelled to persuade her. "Second Miss, the Earl Residence has been depleting its reserves. If we don’t add more assets, there will come a day when nothing is left. Now that the Yan family has connections, as in-laws, it’s only right to help out a bit."

Thinking of the times her mother looked worried while examining the accounts before she was married, Han Xinran hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded in agreement to help. "Wait for me for a moment, I’ll go ask my mother-in-law."

...

Main yard.

Madam Li was tallying the remaining household money after buying the estates when she heard from a maid that her daughter-in-law had come with her grandson. After thinking for a moment, she instructed Ping Tong to put away the account books.

Back in Zhongzhou, she was very satisfied with this daughter-in-law—good looks, good family background, and a good relationship with her son. They had a grandson in the second year of marriage, and she was willing to give this daughter-in-law more face.
