Chapter 32: Temptation
Liu Xianglian was already by the corner gate, waiting for an unknown amount of time.
Yindie walked over, threw the things rewarded by Xifu to him, and then said, "These things are still exchanged for silver coins." Also, help me find some medical books, mainly on medicinal materials. ”
Liu Xianglian nodded, put the things away, and then said, "The two shops you asked me to see yesterday were both rented out, and they are doing quite well." There are about ten taels of silver a year. ”
Yindie bowed slightly, thought about it and asked, "Do you know how many taels of silver are needed to open a small pharmacy?" ”
When Liu Xianglian heard Yindie's question, she was stunned for a moment, and then thought that she should need the aura in the medicinal materials, and wanted to take advantage of the geographical advantage to collect the medicinal materials, so she asked this question.
"It's not difficult to open a pharmacy, it's just a really good medicine, and it's hard to find it in ordinary herb shops."
Yindie sighed, she just had a whim and asked. Now that I think about it, I don't even know a few medicinal materials, so I want to open a pharmacy, which is too hasty.
"If you have time to help me build a weapon, you know that after I left the Ning Guo Mansion, I was going to go out to travel. I don't know any moves, but I have some brute strength. Plus a weapon, it should be enough for self-preservation. ”
Liu Xianglian thought for a while before saying: "I have a lot of weapons at home, and I also have a lot of sword martial arts in my collection. ”
Yindie looked at Liu Xianglian, she was a woman, and it was inconvenient to do anything outside. In addition, she didn't have to worry about a lot of debts, and she didn't have to work for anything, so she asked Liu Xianglian to help her run errands.
However, in Liu Xianglian's opinion, it seems that she has become his person and accepted him.
Although Yindie is not disgusted, this feeling of someone giving something to her, she still can't accept it so comfortably in her heart.
Liu Xianglian saw that Yindie didn't speak, so she continued to speak: "If Miss Yindie is not in a hurry to return to Ningguofu, it is better to go and have a look at the lower cold house." Recognize the door first, and if there is something in the future, it will be more convenient. ”
Silver Butterfly put the silver saucer next to You Shi today, and there was really nothing to do in the afternoon. It's just that it's really good to go to a man's house with a yellow flower girl?
"I still have a lot of books left by my fathers at home, and there seem to be a few medical books among them. You can take a look at it first. In addition, even if you have weapons, the inner courtyard of Jiafu is not convenient to store, why don't you go to me to practice martial arts in the future? ”
Yindie sighed, and still followed Liu Xianglian towards the outside of Ning Rong Street.
Compared with the unnaturalness in her heart, Yindie's pursuit of cultivation and strength allowed her to temporarily suppress those emotions.
Liu Xianglian walked out of Ningrong Street with Yindie, crossed an alley, and walked about a shot away, and then arrived at a mansion.
Compared with the Gaomen Compound of Jiafu, although this place is quiet and elegant, it lacks a little bit of the magnificence of the wealthy family.
Liu Xianglian pushed open the door and entered a mansion, and immediately an old servant greeted her.
"You're back."
Liu Xianglian smiled at the old servant, and then said, "This is the silver butterfly girl, she will often read books and practice martial arts here in the future." ”
Yindie glanced at Liu Xianglian helplessly, when did she say that she would come over often?
Mi Lao glanced at Yindie, and then said with a smile: "The old slave knows, don't worry, the old slave will definitely treat this girl well." ”
"Silver Butterfly girl, my things are basically in the backyard, and there is a small martial arts training ground there, let's go over."
Yindie nodded and followed Liu Xianglian towards the back, but at the same time looked around curiously.
This house as a whole is a long type, from the main entrance looks like just an ordinary portal, but the inside is complete, although it is not as expensive as Jiafu, the value of the ornaments and flowers and trees, but not much worse.
It's just that, compared to the crowd of servants in Jiafu, this courtyard really looks a little deserted.
Liu Xianglian saw Yindie looking around, and suddenly became interested and said: "My parents died early, originally I lived in my uncle and aunt's house, and even this house was taken back to Liufu, and the subordinates were dismissed. ”
Yindie looked at Liu Xianglian, who was caught in her memory, and then waited for him to continue.
"After that, when I became more sensible, I left Liufu and asked for the house back. is just one of them, and only Mi Lao is left. I saw that this house was too empty, so I recruited the family of cooks in the restaurant under my name, so the people here are Liu Quan's family except for Mi Lao. ”
Yindie smiled: "No wonder it's so clean, it's just such a big house, and people in one room can serve it?" ”
Liu Xianglian chuckled: "What's there that can't wait?" Not to mention that I am a master, that is, I also have hands and feet, where is the use of people to serve. ”
"That's right, speaking of which, you and our second master of Xifu are two extremes."
"Baoyu ........" Liu Xianglian seemed to sort out the wording before saying: "After all, he is the young master of the Hou Mansion, and he is naturally incomparable to me, a small family." ”
"Heh, I don't think Liu Gongzi cares about these identities!"
Liu Xianglian nodded: "Yes, I have a relationship with Baoyu, just because he talks and does things, and he has a spirituality, although sometimes it is a little shocking, but he can also be regarded as an informal person." ”
Although Yindie didn't have a good impression of Jia Baoyu, she didn't say anything to smear her.
As they spoke, the two of them had already passed through several small courtyards and walked into the largest courtyard in the entire house.
Most of the courtyard has been built into a martial arts arena. This martial arts arena is not large, with bluestone paving, and the length and width are only about ten paces away. There are two weapon racks on the side, and there are eighteen kinds of weapons on them, all of them.
Around the arena, it is surrounded by a flowing stream, and three stone bridges lie on the stream.
Liu Xianglian took the silver butterfly onto the stone bridge, passed through the martial arts arena, and entered a room behind the martial arts arena.
"In the whole house, only this yard was rebuilt after I moved in. The main hall of this room is where I can receive some close friends. The inner rooms on both sides are filled with weapons, miscellaneous items, books, and the like. On the left side of the arena is my bedroom, and the right side is temporarily vacant, and I will ask Mi Lao to clean it for you in a while. ”
Yindie hurriedly shook her head: "I want to live in Ning Guo's Mansion, how can I have time to stay with you, you still don't want to let the old man toss around." ”
Liu Xianglian didn't speak, just smiled. Actually, he had already sorted out that room, and the reason why he said that he would let Mi Lao clean it up for a while was just because he didn't want Yindie to see that he had premeditated.
