This was the first time Xu Xiaoqi saw such a beautiful girl.
This is much prettier than Sister Qiangwei in the post house.
The eyebrows are picturesque, the nose is like a green onion, and the cherry mouth is a perfect combination.
The key point is that she has fair skin, natural beauty, and an extraordinary nobility. At first glance, she looks like a young lady from a high-class family.
In the past, it would have been blasphemous to even look at such a young lady, but now she not only talks to me with a smile, but also gives me gifts.
The girl’s jewelry cannot be given away casually, nor can handkerchiefs be given away casually.
Now that the eldest lady was giving away the hairpin and handkerchief, Xu Xiaoqi was at a loss and wondered whether this young lady was interested in him?
Xu Xiaoqi really couldn't understand, what was there about him that was worthy of the eldest lady?
Looking at the gift handed over by the eldest lady, Xu Xiaoqi was a little afraid to accept it.
"Why are you standing there stunned?" Xiao Yuchan asked.
Lin Wanjie glanced at Xu Xiaoqi: "Take it."
Only then did Xu Xiaoqi accept it and put it away thoughtfully: "Thank you, Miss."
Xu Xiaoqi already knew Lin Wanjie's identity and knew that he was a servant of the Xiao family.
It's just that Brother Lin's role as a servant is a bit special, and his status in the Xiao family is even higher than that of the master.
Even the eldest lady works as his follower, which is really magical.
The last thing today is to check out the new house.
Xiao Yuchan said that she knew several good houses near Xiao Mansion and they were all for sale.
When he arrived at the place, Lin Wanjie saw the house and realized what the good house was in the eldest lady's mouth.
The house is indeed nice, but I can’t afford it at first glance!
This is no longer a house, but a mansion.
Having lived in such a luxurious house as the Xiao Mansion since she was a child, the eldest lady has no concept of houses at all. The houses she thinks of are places that are not much different from the Xiao Mansion.
A house like that costs at least tens of thousands of taels of silver.
Lin Wanjie is rich now, but not that rich, and it is impossible to spend all his money for a house and still keep part of it for business.
Standing in front of a house, Xiao Yuchan saw the expressions of Mr. Lin and his little brother being a little strange: "Why are you standing there in a daze? Knock on the door and ask for the price."
"Miss, you still don't need to introduce me. Let's go ask the dental shop."
He also had to be a reliable dentist. After a brief exchange, he decided on a house, which was larger than the Zhennan Escort Agency. It had three courtyards, the middle courtyard was a garden, and the backyard was divided into inside and outside.
A master, a mistress, a concubine, three or two children, two or three maids, and two or three servants are just right.
The key point is that it is very close to Xiao's house, separated by an alley back to back, and a door will be opened behind it in the future.
It only takes less than two minutes to get from Xiao's house to the new house.
The price was naturally not cheap either, costing a full five thousand taels.
Fortunately, the accumulation in the past two months has resulted in a few thousand taels of dividends from the Zhennan Escort Bureau, and another several thousand taels of recycling from the house.
Including the kickbacks from the Xiao family, Lin Wanjie's total wealth is about fifteen thousand taels.
This house is still affordable.
After that, it was time to sign and hand over the land deed. Everyone in the yamen knew Lin Wanjie, so it was done quickly.
After getting the land deed, he looked at his name on the land deed and saw that the deed of betrayal had been destroyed. With Lin Wanjie enthroned in the court, he could be regarded as a person with an identity.
Returning to the new house, Lin Wanjie finally felt like taking root.
Xiao Yuchan seemed to be happier than Lin Wanjie. Compared to Xiao Mansion, this house could only be called a small place.
But the eldest lady admired it very much. She praised it while watching: "It's better than the Xiao family, not too big or too small, and it's easy to take care of each other. Mr. Lin, you must leave a room for me in this house from now on, do you understand?"
Lin Wanjie is now alone, and at most Xiaoqi and Yu Jiaoer can live there.
Needless to say, he left a room for the eldest lady, so he nodded: "Of course, the eldest lady can come and stay at any time."
"Yeah." Xiao Yuchan responded crisply and ran to the backyard to continue watching.
It doesn't look like Lin Wanjie's house, but more like it was bought by the eldest lady.
Seeing the eldest lady's back disappear, Lin Wanjie called Xu Xiaoqi over: "You will live here temporarily and take care of the house. Since we are brothers, this house is mine and yours."
Xu Xiaoqi was a little touched. Although he had been left at the Zhennan Escort Agency for the past two months, Xu Xiaoqi could feel the changes in his life and the difference in the eyes around him.
At least the people at the Zhennan Escort Bureau took good care of him and didn't treat him like a child, let alone treat him like a human being.
Xu Xiaoqi also knew that this kind of treatment was because he was Lin Wanjie's brother, so he was given preferential treatment.
Before, I was forced to follow Lin Wanjie, but now I follow Lin Wanjie and I don't want to leave.
Since they can have a normal life, who would be willing to live in exile?
"Brother Lin, you will be my brother from now on." Xu Xiaoqi said as he knelt down.
Lin Wanjie grabbed him and said, "There is no need to talk about the scene. You and I can be considered brothers in need. We have killed people together."
One sentence brought Xu Xiaoqi's thoughts back to two months ago, and at the same time he frowned: "Brother Lin, we can't completely rest assured yet."
"Um?"
"I have calculated that if the court continues to pursue the case, it will respond in the near future."
Lin Wanjie knew what Xu Xiaoqi meant. He was saying that if the imperial court wanted to investigate the cause of the imperial envoy's death, or continue to send people to investigate the evidence of King Cheng's crime, officials from the capital might come to Hangzhou in the near future. If no officials will come soon, you can really sit back and relax.
Lin Wanjie frowned and felt a little depressed.
Everything is going well now, but this matter has always been stuck in my throat.
Unfortunately, this matter cannot be completely solved by oneself. Whether it is a blessing or a curse, I can only passively wait for the result.
"What you said makes sense. I have to contact Lu Waner."
Lin Wanjie knew it well, and even without Xu Xiaoqi's reminder, he would not forget the potential threat.
If Lin Wanjie wanted to start a business, he would most like to open a clinic and practice his old profession.
And as a time traveler, there are many ways to make a fortune, so why did you choose to write a book?
The main reason is to have a good relationship with Liu Xiwen of Xizi Publishing House. He was the one who received the imperial envoy last time. If another imperial envoy comes next time, Liu Xiwen will get the information first.
Moreover, Lu Waner is also at Xizi Bookstore, so there will be more opportunities to meet Lu Waner in the future.
Thinking about it, Xiao Yuchan ran around and came back, patting Lin Wanjie's hand: "Lin Da, I didn't expect you have such good taste. I like this house. I want to tell my mother to move in with you. live together!"
"Pfft!" Lin Wanjie squirted and looked at Xiao Yuchan in shock, "Miss, please stop joking. How can you, a girl, move out to live with me? How unbecoming is this!"
"What's wrong? After you leave the Xiao family, won't you still be my servant? Huh! You said it yourself, even if you leave the Xiao family, you will still work for the Xiao family! I was your master before, and I am your master now, and I will still be you in the future. My master, I will be haunted by you for the rest of my life."
