Back at the inn, Geng Jie had already come back and was waiting for Yang Zhirou.

Geng Jie said to Yang Zhirou: "Miss, we bought the house, behind Xishi Street, it is a three-entry courtyard, where some small officials live, and some wealthy businessmen, our house was originally the back house of a waiter in the household department, and the household waiter is going to move to Dongcheng, so I want to sell the house, I went to see it with Huzi, it is not too big, it is very quiet, and the house is also elegant." ”

"Okay, can you move in today?"

"Yes, I'll ask Huzi to buy some futon, there are other things in the house, we can go now."

"Well, let's go now." Yang Zhirou turned his head and said to Fu Kang: "Old man Fu, you go back to Fu's house first, and I will look for you in two days." ”

"I'm not going back!" Fu Kang jumped up, this girl wanted to dump him, it was not so easy.

Yang Zhirou was happy: "I don't want to be too ostentatious now, there are a lot of people in this capital who know you, you go back first, I will go to you after I deal with some things, I still have something to ask you." ”

"What's the matter?" Fu Kang was really distracted.

Yang Zhirou said mysteriously: "You will know when the time comes, go back quickly, don't wait for your family to find it, then I will not be happy, I will not recognize you as an apprentice if I am unhappy." ”

"Dead girl, you know how to threaten me! Okay, okay, I'm leaving, you remember to come to me, the Fu family is in Dongcheng, or you take this to the Rejuvenation Hall, someone will notify me, and I will come to you when the time comes. Fu Kang took a square sign made of sandalwood to Yang Zhirou, the sign was engraved with the word Fu, and there was a relief carving of bluegrass in the upper right corner, like a token of Fu Kang.

After Yang Zhirou accepted the sign, Fu Kang pouted and left.

Yang Zhirou took Xiaohe, Geng Jie, and Geng Laohan to the front of the house in Xishi in a carriage, the plaque of the house has been removed, and now the place where the plaque is hung is empty, and there is a big lock on the door.

Geng Jie unlocked the lock, let Yang Zhirou and Xiaohe go in first, and then drove the two carriages with Geng Laohan to the direction of the back door.

Yang Zhirou and Xiaohe crossed the threshold, entered the house, bypassed the entrance, and saw a small courtyard like the old Beijing courtyard, the courtyard was small and exquisite, and in the middle was a welcoming hall, with three wings on the left and right sides. There are two corridors on the side of the hall, and through the corridors you come to the second courtyard, which is larger than the first courtyard, but the layout is the same, except that there are many plum blossoms blooming in winter. Walking back from the corridor on the right, entering the third yard, the sight suddenly widened, the area of the third yard is the sum of the first two yards, there is a large pond, the pond is frozen, there are occasional fish swimming under the ice, there is a small pavilion in the middle of the pond, there is a bamboo forest in front of the courtyard wall of the yard, behind the bamboo forest is the kitchen and stables, on both sides of the yard are two rows of houses, the house on the left is obviously the master lives, there are relief carvings on the doors and windows, the middle house on the left side is three doors, at a glance you know that it is the main house.

Yang Zhirou entered the main room, and as soon as he entered, it was a hall with tables and chairs in the middle, a bedroom on the left, and a study on the right. The furniture looks new, but there are no furnishings, and it looks a little deserted.

Xiao He wiped the stool with a handkerchief and asked Yang Zhirou to sit down, and after Yang Zhirou sat down, Huzi, who went out to buy things, came back, followed by a few people, holding a lot of things. Geng Laohan came out of the horse shed to help place these pots and pans of rice and flour oil, and Huzi came in and reported to Yang Zhirou: "Miss, time is tight, so I bought these, and half of the money you gave was not used." ”

"I know, we won't live here forever, and besides, we don't have much silver in our hands, and we don't have much left after buying a house, and there are few jewelry and treasures that can be taken out without being suspected, so it's better to save a little."

"Yes, miss."

"Did you inquire about the news I asked you to inquire about?"

"I inquired. The envoys of all countries who congratulated him on his birthday lived in the post house in Dongcheng, and the king of Yingchuan also lived in it, but I didn't know exactly which courtyard it was, and I was afraid that I would be suspicious if I asked too much. Huzi scratched his head and said.

"Well, I know, there is one more thing for you to do, and when it gets dark, you go to the money bank to exchange the remaining gold and silver for silver tickets, and this, you want to make a move, exchange some silver, I can use it." As he spoke, he took out a very good jade hairpin from his arms and gave it to Huzi.

"Yes, the little ones will do it." Huzi took the hairpin and walked out.

"Wait, let Geng Jie go with you, I'm not at ease if you go alone. If someone is following, remember to use the method I handed over to you to get rid of the person who is following," Yang Zhirou added.

"Yes, I'll go find him." Huzi left in a hurry.

"Miss, why don't we go back to Lishan, the old man and the young master must be worried to death." Xiaohe pouted and said.

Yang Zhirou knocked on the table with his hand and was thinking about something, and when he heard what Xiaohe said, he shook his head and said: "I can't go back for the time being, now I don't know whether I am friends or enemies, it's safer to be in the dark, I don't know what will happen when I go back and be discovered, there are too many uncertain things, we can't act rashly." ”

"Then we'll wait here?" Xiaohe said with a frowning face.

"Of course not, I, Yang Zhirou, have never been someone who will sit still." As he spoke, he looked ahead, as if he was planning something.

"You go and help Geng Laohan make some food, and when Geng Jie's them come back to eat, I'm a little tired, so I'll rest first."

"Yes, then I'll make the bed for Miss first." After saying that, he took the futon and walked into the inner room.

The next day, Yang Zhirou, who had no dreams all night, got up early, exercised in the yard, and then washed under Xiaohe's service, and was having breakfast, Geng Jie, who lived in the courtyard of Erjin, and Huzi came in to find Yang Zhirou.

Geng Jie said to Yang Zhirou: "Miss, here are 20,000 taels of silver tickets, gold and silver are exchanged for 5,000 taels of silver tickets, but the hairpin is exchanged for 15,000 taels." ”

Yang Zhirou nodded and said, "Did anyone follow you last night?" ”

"No, the scholar and the guy from the money village said that the master of the family was going to a foreign country and wanted to exchange some silver tickets on him. Although there are 5,000 taels, there are more rich people in this capital, and there is no suspicion. We pressed the hairpin in the pawnshop, and the young lady wanted us to redeem it at that time. Huzi said before Geng Jie could speak, and glanced at him defiantly.

Yang Zhirou raised his eyebrows, this tiger has always targeted Geng Jie, intentionally or unintentionally, recently.

"Geng Jie, do you know who I am." Yang Zhirou looked at Geng Jie and said

Geng Jie knew that Yang Zhirou was going to confess his origins, which was a sign of trust in himself, so he knelt down and said to Yang Zhirou: "Little listen." ”

"My surname is Yang, my name is Yang Zhirou, I am the second lady of the Yang family from the mountain, I was sent to Dongwu by the Emperor of Southern Qi, but I was chased and killed halfway, and now except for my father and eldest brother, everyone thinks I am dead. I don't know who is going to kill me, so I don't want too many people to know about my existence. Now to tell you, I really treat you as my own, I don't care what kind of hatred you are carrying, I am your master now, and I will help you avenge in the future, but for now, you have to let go of your hatred first and concentrate on being my subordinate. ”

Although Geng Jie thought that Yang Zhirou's identity and origin must not be simple, he didn't expect that she was from Nanqi. Shocked and a little moved, such an identity really shouldn't be known casually, Yang Zhirou can tell himself that he really regards himself as a trusted person.

"Yes, I swear that I will let go of my obsession and protect the Lord from the bottom of my heart, thank you for your trust."

"Hmm. And you, Wang Hu, in order not to be held back by the enemy, I will definitely develop my own power, and there will be more and more people around me, I hope you can be tolerant, do you understand? ”

Huzi heard Yang Zhirou call himself by name and surname, and knew that Miss had found out, he was a little psychologically unbalanced, he had been following Miss, and he had not been trusted by Miss for a long time, and he began to get close to Miss after arriving in Dongwu, and his worship of Miss was needless to say, who knew that this Geng Shusheng had only known Miss for less than a few months, and he had the trust of Miss, and his heart was sour, so he intentionally or unintentionally squeezed Geng Shusheng.

Huzi blushed and said, "I understand, I won't do this again in the future, don't be angry, Miss." ”

Yang Zhirou heard him say this, and her face softened slightly: "Well, I won't punish you for your first offense, but you have to know in your own heart, you and Xiaohe have always been by my side, compared with others, the meaning of the two of you to me is definitely different, but I don't want the two of you to be because of this..."

"The slave knows, the slave doesn't have it, miss, I'm not a tiger, I'm big." Xiaohe said mischievously.

"You still said that I, and I don't know who was unhappy for a long time because Miss only ate Uncle Geng's cooking." Huzi habitually quarrels with Xiaohe. Then I remembered that the young lady was angry, and quickly lowered my head.

"You! I don't have one. ”

"Alright, alright. Just remember what I said. Geng Jie, you clean up and go with me to find Old Man Fu later. ”

"Yes, miss." Geng Jie listened to the order and went down to prepare.

"Get up, what are you doing on your knees?" Yang Zhirou looked at Huzi with a smile and said.

"Oh, get up. Miss, I'll go with you later. Huzi got up with a smile and said to Yang Zhirou.

"No need, I'll go with Geng Jie in a while, you can go and help me do another thing."

Huzi looked at Yang Zhirou with bright eyes and asked, "Really, what's the matter?" ”

"You go to the tooth shop and ask, see where there are shops for sale, go and see the situation, and come back and report to me."

"Miss is going to open a store? Are we going to stay in Lin'an? ”

"You don't care about this, just go and report back to me."

"Yes, I see." Huzi pouted.

Yang Zhirou shook her head, all of them were like children, with a headache.

"Miss, what about me?" Xiaohe asked Yang Zhirou.

"You make me some clothes at home, and I'll draw the style for you later."
