Chapter 232 Buying a House
However, Chu Chu was unwilling to let Ruohan become her concubine, since Ruohan was the kind of person who would risk his life for Yan Yan.
"A title? Is there even a need to think about that? Can't we have three principal husbands? They can each have one position and all be principal husbands, right? Given Mo Xuan's status, it's definitely not acceptable for him to be a concubine. Not to mention whether Mo Xuan agrees or not, even I disagree. Although Ruo Han's status is not as high as Mo Xuan's, he saved my life by bleeding me out of his own blood back then."
"Of course I can't let him be a concubine. Since there are three positions, there's no need to worry. Just make sure both of them are the principal husbands!" Lu Jinyan felt that anyone she liked should be the principal husband, but unfortunately there were only three positions.
“There are three spots available, but Yan Yan, you’ve already given away two so early. What will you do if you meet someone you love later?” Chu Chu was clearly thinking long-term.
"Hey, we'll talk about the future later. Let's just focus on the present!" There's still the position of concubine and attendant, isn't there? Although the titles are different, in her heart, whether it's attendant or concubine, they are both her treasures, without any difference.
“Since Yan Yan has made up her mind, I will find someone to choose a few auspicious dates and then prepare for the engagement.” Chu Chu nodded with a smile. Whatever decision Yan Yan made, she would support her.
The two chatted about the engagement for a while longer. Neither Chu Chu nor Lu Jinyan knew much about marriage and engagement, so they had no choice but to contact Aunt Chun using the contact card to ask for her opinion.
After all, her son and daughter were already married, so she was definitely more experienced. When Aunt Chun heard that Lu Jinyan was engaged, she was overjoyed: "Yan'er, you're engaged! Which family's young master is it?"
“Aunt Chun, it’s Mo Xuan and Ruo Han!” Lu Jinyan replied with a smile.
Aunt Chun was shocked when she heard this. She knew Mo Xuan and Ruo Han. Mo Xuan had been rescued by Lu Jin Yan and had been recuperating in the courtyard for a while. She had met Mo Xuan before. Although the boy was a bit cold, he was still a good person.
As for Ruohan, although she had never met him, she had heard Chu Chu talk about him a lot and knew that he was gentle and easy to get along with, so she was at ease.
"Hmm, not bad, they are two good children!" Aunt Chun nodded in satisfaction.
"Aunt Chun, aren't you surprised?" Lu Jinyan thought to herself, she meant to marry a husband, not to get married.
"What's so surprising? Our Yan'er is beautiful and capable. What's wrong with her getting married? Even if you marry ten, I'll still support you!" Aunt Chun's cheerful voice came from the communication stone.
Lu Jinyan was deeply moved. The three of them chatted for a long time. Aunt Chun explained all the precautions to them and made sure they remembered them before ending the call.
As soon as the call ended, Aunt Chun pulled her husband aside and started grumbling, "Old man, do you think it's okay for Yan to get engaged without any elders to stand by her side?"
“I’m a little worried too, old woman. Do you think we should go over and take a look? Help out? Although Yan’er isn’t related to us by blood, she’s been very good to us. Without her, our restaurant and inn wouldn’t be doing so well. Yesterday, Liang’er told me that Yan’er is planning to partner with him to open a restaurant in Ruoshui City as well.”
Uncle Mu stroked his beard, feeling uneasy. She and Chu Chu were both girls, and without an elder to help them, it was indeed not a good situation.
“Old man, you’ve hit the nail on the head. That’s what I was thinking too. Yan’er and Chuchu don’t have any relatives, so we are their relatives. These things should be handled by the elders. Since that’s the case, let’s shamelessly act as her elders!” Aunt Chun said with a smile as she looked at her old man.
"Alright, I'll go talk to Liang'er right away. We'll set off in the next couple of days after we've arranged the inn and restaurant!" Uncle Mu said and then contacted his son.
The inn and restaurant are well-staffed, and the staff are all capable of handling things independently. Their absence for a few days won't be a problem, especially since they have flying vehicles, making travel convenient and quick. There's no need to worry too much.
Meanwhile, Lu Jinyan and Chu Chu, having lost contact with Uncle Mu and the others, began organizing the things Aunt Chun had mentioned earlier, so that they could make preparations easier.
But after sorting through the paper for a long time, the two of them felt dizzy looking at the densely packed things on it. If getting engaged was this troublesome, wouldn't getting married be exhausting for them?
But no matter how tiring it is, it has to be done. However, the most urgent thing right now is not this, but the house. She doesn't want to have to rent the house for her wedding, so she is thinking of buying a house of her own in Ruoshui City and decorating it according to her own style.
As for the future marital home, Lu Jinyan first asked Yuan Yi to find the landlord and ask if he was willing to sell the house to them. If he was not willing, she would have to find another place. If he was willing, she would buy it.
After all, they had just moved in and settled in, so she didn't really want to make a fuss. Besides, the house was quite nice, with a large enough yard for them to live in.
Yuan Yi immediately went to the landlord. At first, the landlord was not very willing, after all, she had never intended to sell the house, but only to rent it out. However, the price offered by Lu Jinyan was very tempting, and after considering it again and again, she finally agreed.
Lu Jinyan asked Furong about the market price of the house, and then she quoted a price that was slightly higher than the market price, which indeed tempted the landlord.
That afternoon, Lu Jinyan took Liu Xu to the pawnshop again, then went to find the landlord, signed the contract, paid the money, and went to the yamen to complete the deed. By the time the whole process was finished, it was already dark.
When Lu Jinyan saw the house deed in her hand, she smiled. She finally had a house of her own in the demon realm. That night, she shared the good news with everyone and told them that they could decorate their rooms according to their own preferences.
Previously, because it was a rented house, many things in the house couldn't be moved to avoid upsetting the landlord. But now that the house is hers, she is the owner and can do whatever she wants, so everyone can decorate it according to their own preferences.
Even Yuan Yi's room is included; if they need to buy anything, they just need to register with Chu Chu, then collect the demon crystals to buy it. Everyone was overjoyed to hear this.
After dinner, Lu Jinyan called Mo Xuan and Ruohan together and discussed the engagement. Ruohan, with tears in her eyes, simply said, "It's all up to Jin'er to decide!"
Mo Xuan was overjoyed: "Whatever Yan'er says goes, I'll listen to Yan'er!"
