I Have No Qualifications, The System Asked Me To Marry A Wife To Practice

After taking care of Chen Xiu for a while and joking with her, Yu Yazhi came to the door.

Yesterday, Chu Shen inspected some properties and expressed interest in purchasing. He still needs to have further discussions with the sellers. He needs to get this matter done today.

Chu Shen instructed Chen Xiu to rest well and then left with Yu Yazhi.

The population of Nanping City is not too large, only about one to two hundred thousand. However, this only accounts for the urban population, and the population of surrounding towns and villages is not included.

In addition, there are very few high-rise buildings in the mortal realm of Dongxuan Tian, so most people live in single-family homes, which makes the area quite large. It takes about half an hour to walk from the Sihai Inn in the north of the city to the west.

Thinking about having his own home as soon as possible, Chu Shen simply hired a carriage, which costs about three hundred wen per day. It's not cheap, but it's convenient.

Yu Yazhi also enjoyed the same treatment as the carriage, and he was very happy with his generous employer.

The two arrived at their destination, a picturesque residential area with willow banks and white walls.

The northern part of Nanping City is where the government offices are located, and the eastern part is where the wealthy and influential families reside. The southern part is mainly inhabited by ordinary people and is divided into two parts. The eastern part, closer to the east of the city, usually has better living conditions, while the western part, closer to the west of the city, tends to be more difficult.

Because the western part is dominated by various markets and workshops, it is the main area for labor circulation in Nanping City, and the residents there are mainly merchants.

However, merchants have money, which means that the living environment in the western part is not inferior to that in the eastern part.

This courtyard-style residence has an even better location. It is located to the south, near the river, with a small dock nearby for convenient logistics. To the north, it faces the street and has separate storefronts for business. In addition, it is spacious and well-equipped, serving as a model for combining residential and commercial purposes.

The price is certainly not cheap. If it were peaceful times, I'm afraid someone would be willing to buy it for 200 taels!

Unfortunately, times are tough now, and no one in Nanping City is willing to take over. The original owner is in urgent need of money and has suffered multiple setbacks, eventually being forced to sell it for 60 taels.

This price is still quite painful for Chu Shen's wallet, but the house is really good, so he grits his teeth and decides to buy it.

Both the buyer and the seller are in a hurry and feeling the pain, unexpectedly reaching a consensus quickly. As a mediator, Yu Yazhi can't stop smiling at the speed of the transaction process. He diligently goes to the government office several times to complete the transfer contract for both parties. This commercial and residential courtyard is now Chu Shen's property.

However, Chu Shen cannot move in immediately. The previous owner needs time to move out, and it will also take time to purchase new furniture and decorations. The process of checking in also requires time.

A series of tasks not only take time but also energy.

By the time he returns to the Sihai Inn, it is almost evening. If it weren't for the curfew in Nanping City, he would have to continue running around.

The various social customs and complicated procedures of the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty are truly exhausting.

However, when he enters the guest room, he suddenly feels refreshed.

"My husband has worked hard, running around all day. Let me wipe away your sweat."

Chen Xiu, who has already tied up her hair, looks more dignified. Seeing his return, she has been waiting for him and brings hot water and a towel to wash away the dust for him.

While Chu Shen comfortably wipes his face, the newlywed woman takes off his coat and dusts it off before carefully hanging it on the clothes rack inside the room.

When he finished washing his face, Chen Xiu had already set up the bowls and chopsticks. The food, kept warm with hot water, emitted a gentle heat, allowing them to sit down and enjoy a dinner at the perfect temperature.

Chu Shen had never experienced such a thoughtful and gentle gesture before. He held Chen Xiu's hand and they sat down together.

"Xiu'er, have you eaten?" Chu Shen asked.

Chen Xiu blushed slightly and replied, "As the head of the household, my husband should eat first. I will eat later."

"How can that be? Come, eat with me," Chu Shen said as he served rice for Chen Xiu.

Chen Xiu was a bit overwhelmed but also deeply moved. She was almost in tears while eating.

This surprised Chu Shen. Wasn't it just eating a meal together? Was it really that significant?

However, he didn't know that in the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty, or in most countries of the Dongxuan Heaven, the status of concubines was very low. Although they were not treated as livestock or furniture like the forces of the Green Religion, they were still considered property with limited rights. They had some personal protection rights but lacked autonomy. In some influential and wealthy families, they even liked to exchange concubines as a symbol of their close relationship.

It could be said that concubines were merely private property with certain human rights. No matter how much the master loved them, there were limits to their care. There were even many discriminatory rules specifically designed to restrict them.

Just like eating, it was unreasonable for the head of the household to serve food to a concubine.

If the head of the household didn't allow it, the concubine would be scolded and even beaten for daring to touch the chopsticks.

This is a systematic division of people into different classes, with strict social hierarchy that cannot be crossed, imposing oppression.

Chen Xiu grew up in this environment since childhood and was deeply influenced. Naturally, she lacked resistance to this kind of natural care, and a meal made her emotionally overwhelmed, crying and laughing.

Chu Shen watched in confusion, like a clueless goose.

He thought, well, they were just having a meal. Otherwise, this girl with eyes so tender that they seemed to be about to shed tears, would want to eat him.

Although he didn't mind.

The atmosphere during the meal was a bit strange, but after finishing, Chu Shen temporarily shifted his attention away from Chen Xiu.

He had been busy all night last night and had been running around all day today. He still had a "blind box" that he hadn't opened yet.

What exactly is "Jingchen Yuanhua"? He had to take a look while Chen Xiu was busy cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks. Otherwise, when she finished cleaning up, she would be too busy.

Anyway, looking at the neatly made bed, Chu Shen was itching to do something.

But as soon as he took a look, an uncontrollable smile appeared on his face.

Damn, so this thing is actually used for this purpose!
