"Okay, let's take this house! I'll pay you whatever the asking price is. As for the change of the property deed, can you take a look at it tomorrow afternoon?"
"Okay! You can take care of this servant first. After the property deed is changed, I will call them away. But sister, do you need to leave two for you to take care of? If the girl doesn't need it, I can leave two rough servants."
"No need for now, I will buy it later if I really need it. As for how to build the greenhouse, I will give you the drawings tomorrow."
Zhou Caijing got the exact news, and because it was getting late, she left without much delay.
Miaojia, Bangjing Hutong
Chen Miaomiao learned from the escort agency early that Chen Wu returned from being an escort today.
She was busy during the day, didn't see anyone, and didn't take him seriously. She just thought he went out to drink with friends.
But seeing that it was getting dark and he hadn't come back yet, he didn't even have a message, which gave her a vague feeling of bad premonition.
When Miao Lisheng came back from outside, he saw his daughter-in-law standing uneasily on the verandah and looking forward to her. He thought she was worried about him, so he went to meet her.
"It's cold outside, Miao Niang, why don't you wear more clothes?"
With that said, he took off his cloak and put it on Chen Miaomiao's shoulders, then walked toward the main courtyard with the person in his arms.
Chen Miaomiao concealed the worry in her eyes. Knowing that he had misunderstood, she didn't explain much. She just stood next to him and asked, "Brother Sheng, Mr. Ji actually took the initiative to invite you to have a drink today. Is there something wrong with this?"
Ji Ming was Miao Lisang's superior officer. She heard that Ji Ming never had any contact with them in private except for official matters.
What an unprecedented day today. Not only did he contact them, he also took the initiative to treat everyone to dinner. It was really strange!
Could it be that the battle for the heir in the capital has entered a critical stage, and Master Ji has chosen a faction and now wants to recruit people?
But her man is just a small editor in the Hanlin Academy, and he has no power, so there is no need for that, right?
Miao Lisheng knew his daughter-in-law's worries, so he smiled and replied: "It's not what you think! Except for me, Mr. Ji didn't call anyone else in the Hanlin Academy today. Speaking of which, the reason why he called me was because Thanks to you."
Chen Miaomiao was confused by what he said. To be honest, she had only seen Ji Ming twice, and she saw him from a distance.
The other party didn't even know who she was, so how could Brother Sheng be asked to drink by Master Ji because of her.
Miao Lisheng saw the confusion in her eyes and said, "Do you know Xie Yanzhi? Or do you know his wife?"
When Chen Miaomiao heard this, she calculated the time, made a rough estimate of her own, and said: "Brother Sheng, I heard that Xie Yan passed the exam, and he was our Xinyang Mansion's Jieyuan. Calculating the time, if he goes to Beijing to take the exam, It’s time to arrive. So, what do you mean, Yuan Niang followed her to Beijing, and Master Ji, because I know Yuan Niang and we are from Xinyang Mansion, simply asked you to come with them to help them clean up the dust? "
Miao Lisheng has always known that his daughter-in-law is smart, and she can figure it out with just one sentence to him, and she has long been accustomed to it.
Hearing this, he said: "Yes and no! Mr. Ji called me because of the relationship between you and Xie Yanzhi's wife. But Xie Yanzhi did not come to the reception banquet. Mr. Ji's entourage said that the Xie family is here Looking at the house, I want to settle down first."
When Chen Miaomiao heard this, she secretly guessed in her heart that her younger brother hadn't come back yet, so he might be with Xie Yanzhi.
Just thinking about Li Yuan's dislike of him, she sighed secretly in her heart.
Xiao Wu really failed to live up to expectations. As Yan Jiao's friend, Li Yuan would inevitably get angry because of this.
Thinking about it, she couldn't help but worry in her heart, but she replied with an expression on her face: "Xie Yanzhi is a man of great talent! We are all from Xinyang Mansion, Yuan Niang, I, Xiao Wu and Li Jun De It’s all right, Brother Sheng, let’s wait and see when you take a break, shall we pay a visit?”
Miao Lisheng knew that his brother-in-law and Xie Yanzhi's brother-in-law were brothers, and Xie Yanzhi was indeed very capable, so he was interested in getting close to him even if he had never met him.
So when he heard Chen Miaomiao's words, he said, "Okay! Miaomiao, please think about what we can give as a gift when the time comes."
If Xie Yanzhi had no connections in the capital, and he came to the capital this time to take the exam, then he could give him some advice and give him a few books that he would need later.
But the person he happened to know was him, who had been an editor in the Hanlin Academy for several years. Not to mention the connections that were beyond his reach, his talent and learning were far superior to his.
If he gives advice shamelessly, that is called showing off and will easily make others laugh.
Therefore, we can skip these things and just move around as normal relatives.
Chen Miaomiao was transparent and obviously thought of this, so she nodded in agreement.
"Okay, then I'll think about it!"
Not long after the couple returned to the main house, Chen Wu's drunken shouting could be heard outside the main courtyard door.
"Sister--sister--where are you, sister?"
Chen Miaomiao, who had been worried about him, heard this voice, suppressed her anger, and walked out with a calm face.
But before going out, she had to say to Miao Lisheng: "Brother Sheng, you go wash up and rest first. You don't have to wait for me. Xiao Wu just came back from being an escort today. I don't know if something happened. I'll go and take a look."
Miao Lisheng knew everything about his brother-in-law and didn't know what to say to him.
Fortunately, his brother-in-law is not a lazy bastard who waits for a good meal, and his nature is not bad. In addition, he is willing to listen to his wife, so he doesn't care.
It's just that things are different now. Judging from Xie Yanzhi's friendships, he still has to keep his brother-in-law under control.
Otherwise, one day, someone might really use their brother-in-law to plot against them.
Thinking like this, Miao Lisheng felt that since his brother-in-law was already in his twenties, it was time to find a more powerful wife to take care of him!
Chen Miaomiao didn't know what her man was thinking. At this time, she was holding back her anger and looked at the man in front of her who smelled of alcohol.
When Chen Wu saw his sister, his eyes became redder and redder.
"Sister, you said that Jiaojiao is very good in Xinyang Mansion. She is busy selling pancakes to make money every day. But you didn't tell me that she has seen someone and is about to get married."
Chen Miaomiao, who was still angry at first, was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then asked: "How did you know?"
When Chen Wu saw that she didn't refute, a grown man suddenly felt as wronged as a child, wailing and crying.
"So sister, is this true? Jiaojiao really married someone else and doesn't want me anymore?"
Although Chen Miaomiao didn't know where his words came from, she still knew the truth.
It's just that she knows better what kind of character her brother is.
When Jiaojiao decided to separate from him, it was impossible for the two of them!
Thinking about it, she said: "Xiao Wu, you are a grown man. It has been doomed for a long time that Jiaojiao will marry someone else. Don't think about her in the future. I will find you a wife. But in the future, After getting married, you have your own life to live, but you can't hurt your siblings like you hurt Jiaojiao's heart before. Otherwise, no matter how many people you marry, they will have to leave!"
