At the beginning, his wife came to him, and he became rich by selling kidney treasures.

"So that's how it is." Ren Hao nodded thoughtfully. He really didn't expect that their commotion in Zuihualou would bring so much trouble to Hong Yan.

"Master, are we going to buy this Zuihualou or not?" Cai Lun asked in a low voice.

Ren Hao clapped his hands and said with the attitude of a bastard who doesn't take advantage of a bargain: "Buy it, you must buy it!!!"

"Master, if we buy it, what if it is sealed by the government the next day?" Cai Lun asked, expressing his concerns.

"Don't worry, I have my own way." Ren Hao waved his hand, took out a key from his sleeve and handed it to Cai Lun.

"Master, this... this is..." Cai Lun took the key with both hands, his face full of confusion.

"This is the key to my silver vault. Now that you are my housekeeper, I have to give you the key."

"From now on, you will be in charge of the expenses of the mansion, and just show me the account book every month." Ren Hao patted Cai Lun on the shoulder, showing his full trust in him.

"Cai Lun will never let the master down." Cai Lun knelt on the ground excitedly.

"Okay, now take your men to get five hundred taels from the cellar, find a place to exchange them for gold and silver, and give them to Hong Yan."

"It's not convenient for me to see her now." Ren Hao ordered.

"Okay, sir." Cai Lun nodded and left with the key.

The reason why Ren Hao was reluctant to meet Hong Yan was that he was afraid that Hong Yan would recognize him. After all, he was watching when Li Shiji beat Zhao Qian.

If Hong Yan recognized me, she might change her mind or increase the money.

So there is no need for him to show up in person, just let Cai Lun handle everything.

After Cai Lun left, Ren Hao walked around the courtyard and looked at the main house and the side rooms. In the end, he chose the study.

However, what surprised Ren Hao was that there was someone in the study.

And the person sitting at the table was none other than the door god Wu Chu.

At this moment he was concentrating on painting. Although Wu Chu was as strong as an ox and could not read a single word, his talent for painting was much stronger than Ren Hao.

At least Wu Chu's paintings are of very high standard. The girls in his paintings are charming and their features are vivid.

"What a great painting." Ren Hao couldn't help but exclaim in praise.

This frightened Wu Chu so much that he immediately crumpled up the rice paper into a ball, then stood up and said with an awkward smile: "Master, why are you here?"

"I couldn't sleep so I wanted to read a book, but I didn't expect you to be secretly thinking about love in my study." Ren Hao said with a smile, then unfolded the rice paper that Wu Chu had crumpled into a ball.

"I didn't expect you to be so talented in painting." Ren Hao looked at the girl in the painting and praised.

"Master, although I can't read, I studied under an old painter for more than a year when I was young." Wu Chu responded quickly.

"Since you have become a disciple, why have you only studied for a little over a year?" Ren Hao asked curiously.

"To be honest, sir, it's all my fault that I eat too much. My master really can't afford the rice for me, so he had no choice but to send me to join the army." Wu Chu scratched his head embarrassedly, and told Ren Hao that he had been in the army for many years. He thought he could eat as much as he wanted in the army, but he still couldn't eat enough. He was often disliked for eating too much. Only Cao De in the army never disliked him and often shared rice with him to fill his stomach.

Speaking of Cao De, Wu Chu suddenly remembered that he had not seen Cao De since he followed Cao De to Ren Mansion.

So he asked, "Master, I wonder where you have arranged for Mr. to go? I haven't seen Mr. for a long time."

"Mr. Cao has been sent by me to do something important. You don't need to worry about him." Ren Hao dismissed him casually and changed the subject to ask, "Wu Chu, who is this girl you wrote about? She doesn't look like one of our family members."

Ren Hao glanced at Wu Chu.

"Master, I don't know who this girl is. I just saw her by chance on the street today. I don't know what happened to me tonight. I just... kept thinking about her, and then I came to your study room as if possessed by a ghost." Wu Chu said implicitly, his face almost red to his ears.

As a modern person who traveled through time, how could Ren Hao not know that Wu Chu was in love with him? He fell in love with the girl at first sight.

However, Ren Hao did not give Wu Chu too much advice or let him forget about this girl.

Let him experience some things on his own. No matter what the result is, it is a kind of growth.

Ren Hao returned the painting to Wu Chu and said, "Wu Chu, if you want to paint, go find Cai Lun tomorrow and ask him to give you the four treasures of the study. You don't have to come to my study anymore."

"Thank you, sir." Wu Chu thanked Ren Hao, turned around and left the study.

After Wu Chu left the study, Ren Hao picked up a book and lay down on the mat.

Just when he was sleeping soundly, a voice came from the side: "Master, wake up."

"Hmm..." Ren Hao woke up from his trance, and the person who pushed him was Cai Lun.

"Master, this is the title deed to Zuihualou, please take a look." Cai Lun took out a piece of cowhide from his arms and presented it to Ren Hao.

In ancient times, contracts were written on cowhide or sheepskin, and then soaked in special medicine to prevent corrosion and dust.

The purpose is also to facilitate storage.

The deeds in ancient times were not as complicated as those of modern times, which do not require transfer of ownership or anything like that. All you needed to do was to have the deed, and it would take effect immediately without the need for a signature.

Now that Ren Hao owns the deed to Zuihualou, he is not happy about having gotten a bargain.

After all, cheap goods are not good.

"Cai Lun, you have worked hard. You can take this deed and put it in the silver cellar for safekeeping." Ren Hao handed the deed to Ren Hao and fell asleep again.

……

The next morning, after breakfast, Ren Hao took the land deed and took Cai Lun to Zuihualou.

This turned out to be exactly as expected. The Zhao father and son did not dare to cause trouble for Li Shiji, and they could not catch Hong Yan who had escaped. In the end, they took out their anger on Zuihualou and a group of panicked beauties.

Since Captain Zhao couldn't find the title deed to Zuihualou, he led his men to smash down Zuihualou and seal the door.

As for those beauties in the mortal world, they were even more unlucky. Captain Zhao arbitrarily accused them of a crime and confiscated all their gold and silver jewelry. He also planned to throw them all into jail as a reward for his brothers.

Originally, these imperial guards were dissatisfied with Captain Zhao for embezzling all the valuables, but now when they heard that they could have sex with the beauties in Zuihua Tower, they all became excited and rushed into the tower to capture them.

At this moment, Ren Hao and the onlookers from the capital could not tell whether they were imperial guards or bandits.

But then again, Hong Yan is really not very kind.

He ran away without even notifying his sisters.

It really is true that it is better to die with your friends than to die in poverty.

Just as Ren Hao was secretly shaking his head, a young woman in red gauze escaped from the encirclement of two imperial guards.
