Chapter 013: Temporary Residence

Thinking about Zhu Fu, who wanted to refuse to deal with him, he thought about it, even if he didn't want Lin Zhengbei's three hundred taels of silver sesame oil money, he was still a person with two hundred taels of silver. led Zhao Tianer to buy on the street, and if he couldn't keep it, he would be targeted by thieves. Even if it wasn't like that, it would make him feel insecure.

Zhu Fu, who was not afraid of thieves stealing, but was afraid of thieves, thought that they lived in the broken Taoist temple on the mountain, and there was no guarantee that three or five thieves would break into the door and rob. In the past, I didn't have anything, and I was barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes, but it didn't matter at all, and even lived too hard, and I had the idea of dying early and being reborn. Now he has a sum of money in his pocket that is not big or small. Even if she doesn't think about herself, she has to think a little more for Zhao Tian'er, after all, she is still a twelve-year-old girl.

After weighing it and making up his mind, Zhu Fu, who lived here for the time being, had another plan to find a small courtyard in the city and then buy it to live in. After all, living in the city of Daxing County is convenient for life, and it is much safer than living in the mountains in the wilderness.

"Since Master Lin is sincerely invited, then Xiaodao is better than obeying his fate." Expecting that the other party had other plans, Zhu Fu, who was thinking about learning Taoism, even thought about the excuses for dealing with Lin Zhengbei in the future, so he didn't want it in vain, and happily smiled and gave him more three hundred taels of sesame oil.

Seeing that he had promised, Lin Zhengbei, who was in a good mood, was not in a hurry to ask him for Taoist teachings at a moment's notice, so he ordered his second housekeeper Wang Dake to lead Zhu Fu and Zhao Tianer to live in a self-built small Taoist temple in the northwest corner of the mansion. For this reason, he also gave himself a name for this place of cultivation, Shangshanguan. Even if it is a formality, Lin Zhengbei, who doesn't go there much, still regards Shangshanguan as a very important place in the house.

Zhu Fu didn't feel strange at all that there was a Taoist temple or a nunnery in the house of a wealthy or noble person. In his opinion, they have a bad conscience and do too much work without virtue. More or less worried about retribution, going to hell after death or something, so as to try to provide psychological comfort and make up for it.

Under the personal guidance of Wang Dake, he left the main hall, passed through the pavilions and pavilions in the house, and was able to reach Zhu Fu and Zhao Tianer, who were in Shangshanguan, and they also liked the small courtyard with more than ten rooms in front of them. Not only is the whole layout exquisite and elegant, but also quiet. There is a lot of bamboo, a marble round table with two round stone stools of the same material, one on the north and one on the east......

"Presumably the two of you are also tired, so don't bother much. There is a little maid named Ning Xiang here who has come to obey your dispatch and arrangement. If you need something, if you lack one, just tell her. "Wang Dake, who has the eyesight and price, if he hadn't seen the attention of his master, he would not have deliberately sent a little maid in the house to serve him.

Zhu Fu, who clasped his hands in fists, politely said the word "Youlao", and politely sent him out of the courtyard gate. I looked back and took a closer look at this little girl named Ning Xiang, which I couldn't say, and she had a different taste. Her face is more childish than Zhao Tian'er, her age should be about ten years old, the heavenly court is full, her round plate face, and there is a little freckle removal around the bridge of her nose...... In short, Ningxiang's appearance is still quite thoughtful. At a young age, she was sold here by her relatives as a slave, but I don't know if it was her luck or misfortune. However, it is better than being sold into a fire pit like a prostitute door ten thousand times better.

"Slave Ningxiang, I have seen two distinguished guests." His hands were superimposed, and he placed Ning Xiang on the left waist, bent his knees deeply, and made a Wanfu Dao in the direction of Zhu Fu and Zhao Tian'er.

Zhu Fu, who nodded at her, put his hands behind his back and took the initiative to walk away. In his opinion, as a young man in his twenties, there was no need to stay here and talk to them at a young age. didn't get in the way in front of them, but it was convenient for the two little girls to talk more about their current age.

Zhu Fu, who first walked around outside, and then pushed the door with both hands and entered the main house, thought that his brother was also a pseudo-rich and handsome man with five hundred taels of silver tickets. At present, although he can't afford a mansion like the Lin family, he can afford to buy a courtyard like this in the city to settle down.

In short, he didn't want to go back to the broken Taoist temple on the mountain to continue feeding mosquitoes, and the most practical thing in his mind was to live a good life. Instead of wasting time dreaming about how to return to the future, it is better to think more about how to live a delicious and colorful life in the future.

Zhao Tian'er, who was outside the room, took the initiative to stretch out her hands to the timid Ning Xiang, pulled her to sit on the two round stone stools next to the marble table, and said with a smile: "I'm twelve years old this year, I just don't know how old you are this year?" ”

"Ten years old." is still young, and has not yet been exposed to bad habits early, and the psychological age is far older than the actual age of three or five years, after all, the little girls who grew up in this kind of house have more or less opened their eyes and seen a certain amount of the world, and they always understand things better than poor families, especially girls in the countryside. What's more, she is a kind of little maid who is put in the inner house by the owner to serve full-time, without helping to wash clothes, emptying the toilet and other such clumsy work, she must be some good seedlings who are born with good external conditions, are not stupid, and have a normal IQ.

"My name is Zhao Tian'er, and I am twelve years old this year, but I am two years older than you. If you don't dislike it, call me sister. Zhao Tian'er, who felt quite fond of her at first sight, didn't see the two little maids in the Lin Mansion from the other party before, looking at her pride and discomfort.

Ning Xiang, who seemed flattered, left the marble round stool with her buttocks, stood up suddenly, and said in unison: "The slave doesn't dare." What a lowly status a slave is, who is qualified to recognize a daughter like you as a sister? ”

"Sit down and talk. Don't be so polite with me. I'll tell you the truth, I'm not a daughter at all. If you look at what I'm wearing, you know that I'm also a wild girl in the countryside. Zhao Tian'er, who generously showed her origin, believes that she will not look down on herself because of this.

Only then did he carefully look at her from head to toe, but he didn't dare to believe it, after all, he could be arranged by his master to live here, and it was the first time in the house.
