Triplets: Lucky Mommy is a Beautiful Badass

Chapter 120: Purchase Land and Build A House 11

“Ah? Are houses in Qingzhou City that expensive?” Qi Qingyao’s jaw dropped. Had this been during modern times, houses would cost some ten million, with the ones with interior furnishing even going up to a f*cking hundred million! That was the price of a top-grade villa in Shanghai. However, the jewelry that some of those rich ladies wore could be worth tens of millions of dollars too… It made sense when thinking of it that way.

Jiang Yeqian said slowly, “Out of the entirety of Northern Liang, the price of land in Qingzhou City is the most comparable to that of Beijing’s.”

“Why?” Qi Qingyao was confused. Qingzhou was quite far away from the Capital City in Northern Liang.

Jiang Yeqian replied, “My guess is that it’s because the surroundings are really beautiful. A couple of centuries ago, many court officials began to like buying land in Qingzhou City after their retirement. Then, they would settle down and spend the rest of their lives here.

Qi Qingyao was even more bewildered. “I’m sure Qingzhou City isn’t the only place with beautiful scenery.”

Jiang Yeqian responded, “Qingzhou City also has a koi temple, and court officials’ wives and concubines all liked to worship the Koi God. They anticipated a lifetime’s worth of good fortune and favor for their children, as well as the descendants of their families.”

Qi Qingyao, “…”

‘That’s it?

‘That was what it took to hike the land prices of a third-tier metropolis area to that of a first-tier one?

‘The f*ck.

‘Just because there was some awesome koi temple!

‘Those court officials were really f*cking superstitious.’

“Then this little bit of money I have is but a drop of the ocean if I want to buy a house in Qingzhou City.” Qi Qingyao felt like the adage ‘living is not easy’ had never been truer.

“With ten thousand taels, you can buy a fully furnished, second-hand house that spans a thousand square meters, no problem. It’d be the kind of house that has a shop front, a middle yard, and the residence would be at the back. Heir Pei’s attached mansion probably covers more than 30,000 square meters, so there’s no need to even think about that,” Jiang Yeqiang advised.

Qi Qingyao suddenly realized something. Looking at Jiang Yeqian with an expression of deep thought, she said, “You’re very knowledgeable.”

“…” Jiang Yeqian lowered his head.

Qi Qingyao smiled as she asked, “Have your memories returned?”

Jiang Yeqian lifted his head and feigned annoyance. “I only forgot who I was, I didn’t forget my skills and common sense.”

Qi Qingyao pursed her lips. She figured that he had no reason to hide it from her, should he have recovered his memories. After all, if he were some feared killer or influential figure, there was no reason at all for him to remain here and take her condescension, resigning himself to being at her beck and call!

Jiang Yeqian changed the topic. “So, what plans do you have now?”

‘Plans’. The word brought Qi Qingyao to a halt. She glanced at her three children, who were having their meals obediently. Whatever she did from now on would be for her kids first, anything else second. She wanted to give them a stable life.

“If I bought a house like that in Qingzhou City, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to keep up a good quality of life. I might as well settle in a village, build a comfortable house, and with the remaining money, I can even hire a few servants. Since I already have a farm now, I can tend to it, rear some chickens, then maybe go into retirement early. How nice.”

“Retirement…” Hearing this word, the corners of Jiang Yeqian’s mouth twitched. How old was she to be even thinking about going into retirement?

Qi Qingyao continued confidently, “I already have kids, a house, and I even have land! If I buy a carriage and hire a coachman, I’ll be able to travel anywhere I wish. I would practically reach the pinnacle of life.”

Jiang Yeqian stared at her blankly for a long time, completely silent.

Instead, Si Jin craned his head and asked, “That… is the pinnacle of life? What about a man? Sister, don’t you wanna get married?”

Qi Qingyao’s smile was calm and composed. “I already have a house, a carriage, a farm, and my kids. Without a troublesome husband, I won’t ever need to serve my parents-in-law, and I no longer have my blood-sucking parents. Have I not peaked in life?”

Jiang Yeqian, “…”
