Wealth and glory seek stability

She really liked this house. "Okay, I'll buy it, but I want new locks for the doors."

Lei Zi was overjoyed, as this was the first house he had ever sold. "No problem, I have a set of new locks in my carriage. I'll replace them for you right away. We'll sign the contract when we get to the shop, and then go to the official to transfer the ownership." After saying that, he turned around and took out a few sets of new locks from the secret compartment of the carriage and replaced them quickly.

Jian Xi: .....

It is true that there are top talents in every 360 professions.

"I didn't expect that you, despite your young age, are so experienced in handling matters. You can even think of such a small matter."

Facing Jian Xi's praise, Lei Zi said calmly: "Isn't this the money that we make in business? Otherwise, why would you come to us?

By the way, this is the third store from Songzi Lane, girl, don’t make a mistake next time you come here.”

"understood."

Jian Xi bought the house very quickly, using Shen Nanxing's name. At the innermost part of the pawnshop there was a place where the Ministry of Revenue handled household registration.

In less than half an hour, Jian Xi owned her first house in the Xuanyuan Dynasty!

She was a slave and Shen Nanxing was a soldier. It would be safer if the house was under Shen Nanxing's name. She planned to write a letter to tell Shen Nanxing about this when she returned.

They have a home!

It wasn't until the key was handed to Jian Xi that she felt a sense of reality.

In fact, for her, it's the same everywhere.

I was an orphan in my previous life, with no ties or worries. My only obsession was that I didn’t have a home of my own.

Now this obsession has been realized in a strange way.

A sense of belonging is an illusory thing for her.

But now Jian Xi is full of hope for the future, and all the days ahead will be good.

The servants in the Prince Wu'an's Mansion have a fixed rest time every month. In the past, she was not familiar with the capital, so she seldom went out. Now that she has bought a house, she can go back to her home to rest when she needs to!

She was eager to share the good news with others.

After thinking about it carefully, it is still inappropriate. The source of the money is unknown, but I can claim that the house is rented.

At the entrance of Moxiang Pavilion.

Caixia was carrying a lot of snacks in her hands. When she saw Jian Xi, she said in surprise, "Sister, you're here!"

Jian Xi smiled and said, "Why did you buy so much food? Can you finish it?" He is really a child.

Seeing them reminded me of the children in the orphanage in my previous life. I wonder how they are doing now.

Caixia, Caiyun and Lai Xi nodded solemnly: "We can eat it. Let's buy a little of everything. This way, we can taste all the flavors by tasting each other." Lai Xi has always been a smart guy.

Jian Xi laughed and said, "You are really smart. By the way, I have good news for you. I just rented a house. We can go there to play when we have a break."

"Really?!" the three of them said in unison, with surprise in their eyes.

Caiyun was the first to react. "It must be very expensive to rent a house in Beijing. Is your monthly salary enough?" She was the most stable and careful among the three.

Just as Jian Xi was about to make amends, Caixia rushed to say, "You're worrying for nothing. Among us, Sister Jian Xi is the richest. Not only does the Madam often give her rewards, but her embroidery skills are also excellent. She can make a lot of money just by selling any piece of embroidery."

That's good, it saves her from having to make excuses.

Jian Xi then said, "We can take a day off today. It's only morning. How about you help me clean up the house in the afternoon? I'll treat you to a good meal."

"Okay!"

"Even if Sister Jian Xi didn't tell us, we would still help you clean up the house."

“Okay, let’s go now.

"Wait, I haven't bought the furniture yet. I'll go to the furniture store to choose some and ask the broker there to deliver it to us. We'll have lunch there at noon!" I don't know if there will be a housewarming party for the new house in Xuanyuan Dynasty. I'm happy today and I should have a good meal.

"Okay!"

Several people happily followed Jian Xi to pick furniture.

In order to save trouble, Jian Xi went directly to Chengde Trading Shop and asked Lei Zi to run errands.

Lei Zi is a smart man and didn't say anything that shouldn't be said. Jian Xi picked out a lot of furniture and a set of quilts, sheets and pillowcases for the bed.

Seeing that she bought a lot, the store owner offered to deliver the goods to her home. Jian Xi handed all this over to Lei Zi and promised to give him a tip of two taels of silver.

Money makes the world go round, not to mention that Jian Xi is Lei Zi's big client, so Jian Xi doesn't have to worry about anything when he does things.

Jian Xi took the three little girls to their residence to clean the house first.

There was no place in the house that needed special cleaning, which showed that the previous owner must have cleaned it regularly.

It’s just that no one has lived there for a long time, so a lot of dust has accumulated.

Jian Xi took out five taels of silver from her bosom and asked Lai Xi and Cai Xia to go to the grain and oil store outside to buy some seasonings and ingredients.

Lai Xi and Cai Xia like to eat on weekdays. The two foodies have reached a consensus long ago. They have experienced a lot of things in the palace, so they don’t have to worry about being cheated when buying things.

"Sister, you were right to give the money to them. Lai Xi is getting smarter and smarter. Just now when we went to buy something, the vendor wanted to charge more money, but Lai Xi scolded him severely. Then the boss saw that we were not easy to mess with, so he gave us some extra tips." Caiyun was sweeping the dust on the window with a feather duster and telling Jian Xi some interesting stories about them.

Jian Xi couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Lai Xi is really amazing now."

Lai Xi had good intentions, but he had no one to guide him. Now he seemed to have become wise and knew how to be nice to the people around him.

"That's right. Ever since sister said last time that she wanted to make plans for our future, Lai Xi seemed like a different person. He no longer wanted to show off in front of the master, but just kept pestering sister Caisang, asking this and that. She is a smart person, and now she knows many things in the tea room better than I do. Sometimes I have to ask her about things I don't understand." Caiyun found it funny when she thought of this.

Jian Xi said with emotion: "That's right. We all have no foundation. Coming to this palace is like having no relatives in the world. If we don't help each other in the future, who can we rely on?"

Just like the children in the orphanage in the previous life, everyone becomes the closest family once they leave the orphanage. People in the abyss hope to be the salvation of others.

Caiyun nodded, agreeing very much, "Sister, you are right. Sister Bihen got married some time ago, and many sisters in the courtyard went to help her with her dowry. Getting married is a completely different world. I just hope that we can be fine forever."

Jian Xi filled a basin with water and poured it onto the ground, as if washing away the bad memories from the past.

"That's natural. We will all be fine. Even if a woman is married, she should have her own life. She can't live her whole life around a man. What's the fun in that? Look, isn't our Madam living a good life now?"

Soon, Lei Zi brought a large group of people to transport the furniture.
