Houses in the prefecture were pricier than those in the county but significantly cheaper than those in the capital.

They purchased a spacious house with about 200 square meters and paid 200 liang for it.

The property was relatively new, boasting a large yard and eight rooms, with a vegetable field behind it.

Both Qin Zhenzhen and Su Bin were delighted with the purchase. The house provided ample space and came at a reasonable price.

Su Bin was particularly pleased because he now lived closer to Qin Zhenzhen's residence and saw an opportunity to develop a deeper connection with her.

After acquiring the house, they decided to furnish it and carry out some necessary repairs.

With the assistance of Chen Youwei and the governor, they managed to secure some guards to help with the renovations.

Qin Zhenzhen treated the guards well, showcasing her culinary skills by preparing delicious and innovative dishes for them.
