Wealth and glory seek stability

The room that Qiangwei brought Jian Xi into was filled with valuable ornaments and jewelry.

Jian Xi was really enlightened. These were all works of art and jewelry ornaments that were at the collection level.

The jewelry in the Capital Museum, which had the most comprehensive collection in her previous life, could not compare with what she saw before her.

But she was just an ordinary person in her previous life, so it's normal that she has never seen good things.

Qiangwei took Jian Xi into the silver vault that had been counted earlier, "There's all silver in here. I'll find you some silver notes and a few hundred taels of cash. The silver notes are from HSBC and can be exchanged at any bank in the country. Here's another hundred taels, which is the reward for the clothes you made for the lady the other day. You're twenty taels short of Dingxiang."

Jian Xi took over a heavy box of silver and silver notes, which amounted to one thousand taels, and one hundred taels of cash.

The delicate little hands are trembling, this is all money!

Calculated in terms of purchasing power, she had never earned so much money in her entire life.

Qiangwei seemed to be accustomed to this. She knocked on Jian Xi's head and said with a smile, "I thought you really regarded money as dirt, but I didn't expect you to be such a money-grubber."

Jian Xi rolled her eyes inwardly, wondering what to eat without money.

She found that most of the maids in the lady's room were aloof. Perhaps it was because they had seen a lot after following Mrs. Xia around, and they couldn't find their own position and really thought they were daughters of official families.

Just like the elite white-collar workers who lived in a big city in their previous life, many people jokingly called these people the maids of the feudal era.

It’s not wrong to think so.

Jian Xi covered her head and said, "No, I was just afraid of being poor when I was a kid, so I feel at ease when I get the money."

Qiangwei felt soft inside, he is also a little child!

"I'm just kidding you. Take the silver and if you want to buy some land, you can ask me for help. My father and mother both help the Madam manage her property at her farm. I gave my own money to my mother to help me buy some land. If you want to buy some, I'll ask my mother to keep an eye out for you."

"Xie Qiangwei sister, I will definitely not be polite to you if I need anything."

"Okay, I'll take you to the room in the backyard. It's quiet and comfortable there. I saw that you didn't like living with others, so I talked to the lady and she agreed. You can go to the housekeeper and get a set of bedding later."

Qiangwei's ability to read people's expressions has reached the pinnacle. Jian Xi herself doesn't know when she revealed her personality of liking to live alone.

Although she really likes living alone and she gets along well with Caixia and the others, she is an adult after all, and it is awkward for her to live with a group of little girls.

"Yes, thank you Sister Qiangwei." It would be great if she could have a housekeeper like Qiangwei in the future, where the other person could immediately feel her intentions with just a glance and she wouldn't have to worry about anything. Such a life would be so comfortable.

The side room in the backyard was previously where Xia's family stored cloth. After the mourning period was over, Xia showed mercy and made new clothes for the maids in the yard, so the storeroom was emptied!

Cleared!!

The air in the ear room is relatively dry, and charcoal is placed at the four corners of the room to prevent moisture.

"This room is quite big for you to live in by yourself. I heard that Second Grandma is going to ask you to go over there to help her make clothes in a few days. Walking between the two courtyards every day will also disturb the people in the house. It is much more convenient to move around now. You haven't had a rest in these few months, so I will give you two days off. You can go out and relax. There are so many festivals waiting for you, such as Mid-Autumn Festival and Double Ninth Festival." Qiangwei said very understandingly.

Does this mean she will be busy from now on?

It seems that Xia really likes her craft, and Dingxiang just happened to extend an olive branch to her. In the future, if everyone knows about her embroidery craft, she can consolidate the skills left by the original owner.

"Thank you, Sister Qiangwei. Can I leave now?" Jane Xi asked impatiently. She missed her little house very much.

"That's fine. When you come back, go to the housekeeper to get the bedding, and then go to the Second Madam to pay your respects. You are not needed for the time being for Magnolia Garden."

Qiangwei was worthy of being Xia's right-hand man, and she quickly assigned tasks for Jian Xi for the next few days.

"Yes."

After sending Qiangwei off, Jian Xi sat on the stool in the small room.

She finally had a place in this huge palace.

Shen Nanxing should still be in Baili Yanhua's courtyard now. Jian Xi took out a piece of silver and asked someone to send a letter to Shen Nanxing, asking them to meet at his new home.

He found the bag and returned to the small corner room where he and Caixia lived, and packed up some of her valuables and silver.

As soon as I left the house, Shen Nanxing was already waiting outside the side door.

After not seeing each other for a long time, Shen Nanxing's wheat-colored skin had become darker and he had grown about half an inch taller.

Jian Xi walked around Shen Nanxing, looked him up and down and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time. Brother Nanxing looks much more mature now."

Shen Nanxing's face flushed, and she said embarrassedly: "Xi'er, stop teasing me. I asked others, and the maids all left the house through this side door. I'm waiting here, thinking of leaving with you."

Then he said with some satisfaction: "Xi'er has grown up. She has been eating well in the mansion these days, and her face has gained a lot of weight. She looks better when she is a little fatter."

Jian Xi couldn't help but use a coquettish tone, "No way, I heard that being thin is popular in Beijing now, I can't get fatter."

"I think you can still gain some weight. Eat more. Even if you get fatter, your brother will be able to support you in the future!"

The boy stood against the light, his voice during voice change mixed with his immaturity, deep and resounding, and Jian Xi couldn't help but tear up.

She is not afraid of others treating her badly, but she is afraid of sudden concern.

In an instant, my heart burst open and endless warmth gushed out.

"it is good!"

"I'll take you to my new house."

"Ah."

Jian Xi walked in front, and Shen Nanxing followed two steps behind.

Jian Xi was puzzled, "Brother Nanxing, why are you so far away from me?"

Shen Nanxing explained seriously: "Boys and girls should not sit together after the age of seven. Xier, you are ten years old this year. Even if we are as close as siblings, we should avoid suspicion." He also had a selfish motive. What if he was not around in the future and Xier was cheated by some other boy?

He is the eldest brother, so he should pay attention to these things in daily life.

Jian Xi expressed her understanding that Shen Nanxing did this for her own good.

Along the way, Jian Xi told Shen Nanxing how she made money and happened to buy a house, which was registered under Shen Nanxing's name.

Passing by the bustling streets, Jian Xi was inspired to say, "Things have really changed. People come and go in the capital, and we have a place to settle down. I would like to go back to my hometown in Suzhou if I have the chance in the future." These days she has seen what a family of wealth and luxury, a land of prosperity and gentleness, but these are not what she really wants in her heart.
