After traveling through time, I was spotted by the new emperor

During dinner, Qi Wushuang asked the housekeeper, "Did Ye Wuwei deliver the meal?"

"Captain Ye has left the house and hasn't returned yet."

Where did he go after he came back?

Qi Wushuang didn't want to ask too much, but the dinner was tasteless.

Ye Wuwei, who was being missed by Qi Wushuang, was currently having dinner with Ye Lingling in the courtyard where Ye Lingling and her friends rented a house.

"Brother Ye, I heard recently that there's a shop for sale. The location is good, but it's a bit large, and the yard behind it is also for sale."

Ye Wuwei picked up a dish with chopsticks and asked: "How much is it?"

“The price is a bit high, but not outrageous and acceptable.”

"How much silver?"

"Eleven thousand taels."

so much?

"All the silver I have adds up to only 10,800 taels. Can that shop offer a discount?"

"Let's go and negotiate the price. If we can't come to an agreement, we still have a few hundred taels of cash in the shop to use."

"The store has just started operating, so it's better not to embezzle working capital. If you really can't agree on a price, don't buy it yet. There will always be opportunities in the future."

"Okay, when would you like to go see the house?"

"Any of these days is fine, you can make an appointment with the other party."

It's a good opportunity for me to take a good rest these few days. I have been busy in the past two years and have not had a formal vacation.

……

The next morning, Ye Wuwei slept in for a rare night.

While he was still lying in bed, a servant from Prince Qi's mansion came to report: There is a little girl looking for Ye Wuwei, and she is at the gate.

Ye Wuwei casually put on a robe and went out. She was the little girl sent by Ye Lingling.

Ye Lingling told Ye Wuwei: I have an appointment with the real estate agent to look at houses at 9:00 PM.

Ye Wuwei looked at the sky and saw that it was not long before noon, so he went out to have breakfast and then look at houses.

The shop Ye Lingling mentioned was indeed good. It was large and spacious and had a good location.

Although the shop has a backyard, the backyard is separated from the front shop by a large patio and is relatively independent.

The backyard is also not simple, with a layout of "five bedrooms, three living rooms, two kitchens and two bathrooms". It is exquisitely decorated and elegantly furnished, and is a "move-in ready" type.

There is also a back door in the backyard that leads directly to another street, making it very convenient to get in and out.

Ye Wuwei was very moved when he saw it.

After he had a disagreement with Qi Wushuang yesterday, he realized:

He couldn't live in Prince Qi's mansion forever. He had to have a place of his own, otherwise he would have nowhere to go if he was kicked out one day.

This property today couldn't come at a better time.

Ye Wuwei asked the broker, "What's the price of this property?"

"I told Shopkeeper Ye before that the seller was selling this property because he was in urgent need of money. The minimum price is 11,000 taels of silver."

"I only have 10,700 taels of silver in my hand. Could you please ask the seller if this price is acceptable?

If not, forget it."

The broker thought for a moment and said, "I'll ask for you."

"Okay, if you can, tell Shopkeeper Ye."

After the broker left, Ye Wuwei did not return to Prince Qi's Mansion, but went to Anli's shop to draw patterns.

Ye Lingling told Ye Wuwei that Amway store could sell more varieties of items, so Ye Wuwei thought of drawing some patterns of soap boxes, cross-body bags, etc.

While Ye Wuwei was still drawing the pattern, the broker from the dental office arrived.

"The seller agreed, but the full payment must be made within three days."

"I can pay the money today, if possible, and make an appointment with the seller to sign the contract."

The broker from the dental office also wanted to make this deal happen, and he was happy to see Ye Wuwei so relaxed.

"I'll go inform the seller now. Please go and get the silver."

Ye Wuwei took Ye Lingling and the two girls to Prince Qi's mansion to get the silver.

After loading the two large boxes of silver onto the carriage, Ye Wuwei once again lamented how inconvenient it was to not have the silver notes.

The house transfer procedures were completed on the same day, and the owner was listed as Ye Lingling.

Ye Wuwei said to Ye Lingling, "I'll be living in the backyard from today on. What do you think we should do with the shop in front?"

"Brother Ye, aren't you going back to Prince Qi's mansion to live?"

"It's inconvenient to get around in Prince Qi's Mansion, it's more free here."

“It’s not a good idea to move the Amway store so soon after it opened, and Amway doesn’t need such a large store at its current scale. We can rent it out first.

but……"

"But what?"

"However, such a large shop is not easy to rent. If the shop is simply divided into two or three rooms, it will be much easier to rent."

"It's up to you. The landlord's name is yours anyway, so you have full authority."

"Brother Ye trusts me so much, aren't you afraid that I'll take the house for myself?"

"We have a joint business, and your ambitions are not in this house."

It is better to hold the housewarming ceremony today than to wait for a day. Ye Wuwei decided to hold the housewarming ceremony today.

He asked Ye Lingling to arrange for people to purchase kitchen utensils, bowls, daily utensils, etc., and everyone gathered here in the evening to have a "housewarming party".

……

King Qi's Mansion

When dinner was served, Qi Wushuang pretended to be indifferent and asked the housekeeper, "Where's Ye Wuwei? Why haven't I seen him all day?"

The steward hesitated to speak.

"what happened?"

“Captain Ye left the palace this morning and came to the palace with three girls in the afternoon to move all the silver away.

He hasn’t come back yet.”

Qi Wushuang put down his chopsticks heavily: "What is he doing?"

"The gate guards didn't dare ask."

Qi Wushuang didn't even eat, and got up to go to the courtyard where Ye Wuwei lived. The housekeeper hurriedly followed Qi Wushuang.

Except for two boxes of silver being missing, nothing else in Ye Wuwei's room had changed, and Ye Wuwei's clothes were still there.

Qi Wushuang opened the desk drawer and the drawings inside were still there.

Qi Wushuang felt more at ease, and said to the housekeeper who had followed him: "When Ye Wuwei comes back, ask him to come see me."

The butler wiped the sweat from his forehead and agreed.

Fortunately, he knew that the prince often asked about Ye Wuwei, so he specially asked people to pay attention to Ye Wuwei's whereabouts. Otherwise, he would definitely be angry if the prince didn't know the answer to his questions.

That night, Qi Wushuang waited until midnight but still didn't see Ye Wuwei.

Qi Wushuang was furious. He called the housekeeper over and said, "Send someone to find Ye Wuwei and bring him to me."

The housekeeper wiped the sweat from his forehead and arranged for people to search everywhere.

Midnight

Ye Wuwei had already fallen asleep in his new home when there was a knock on the door.

Who comes to disturb my sweet dream so late at night?

Ye Wuwei casually put on a piece of clothing and went to open the door. Standing at the door were Ye Lingling, Xiao He, the housekeeper of Prince Qi's mansion and several servants.

"Captain Ye, I finally found you."

It was such a cold day, but the housekeeper's forehead was covered in sweat.

"What are you doing?"

"The prince wants to see you."

"What can't be discussed tomorrow? It's already so late."

Ye Lingling added:

"The housekeeper brought Xiao He to where we live and said that the prince wanted to see you, so I brought them here."

Ye Wuwei was worried that Qi Wushuang really had something to ask him, so he said to the housekeeper, "Wait a moment, I'll put on my clothes."

Seeing Ye Wuwei's disheveled appearance, the housekeeper really didn't dare to take him away like that.
