The group strolled out of the inn. Shi Mobai, who was quite familiar with house hunting, said as they walked...

"Brothers, let's go to the brokerage firm and ask! They should have what we need there."

Ye Wuhen, Ye Jinxuan, and Chu Qiao nodded in unison, "Okay!"

When they walked onto the street, Chu Qiao's younger sister, Zhong Ziling, looked curiously at the shops outside. Although she was only three years old, she was very well-behaved and obedient.

When they passed a vendor selling candied hawthorns, her eyes lit up as she stared at him, but she didn't ask her brother for any. However, Chu Qiao, who had been watching his sister closely, noticed her longing.

So he said to the crowd, "Wait for me!"

He took his sister's hand and led her to the vendor, bought a candied hawthorn, and handed it to his sister, Zhong Ziling!

Zhong Ziling took the candied hawthorn and smiled at her older brother, saying happily, "Thank you, older brother! You're so kind!"

Chu Qiao patted Zhong Ziling's head and said with a smile, "If there's anything you want to eat in the future, you can just tell me, okay?"

Zhong Ziling nodded obediently and said happily, "Okay!"

Chu Qiao turned around again and called out to Ye Wuhen and the others, "Brother Ye, Mo Bai, are you eating?"

Ye Wuhen, Ye Jinxuan, Shi Mobai and the others nodded in unison. Since they came out, they had been traveling all the way and hadn't really paid attention to these snacks. Looking at those red strings of candied hawthorns coated with sugar, they must be delicious.

Since we have this opportunity, let's give it a try!

The last few people each took a string of candied hawthorns and ate them as they walked forward.

The sweet and sour taste of the candied hawthorns satisfied everyone. After they finished eating the candied hawthorns, they arrived at the entrance of the brokerage firm.

Upon entering the brokerage firm, the clerks hurriedly came to greet them. Seeing that they were a few teenagers, they still asked, "Gentlemen, are you looking for a house or buying people?"

Shi Mobai stepped forward and said, "Looking for a house, I'll take any kind of courtyard house, two or three courtyards are fine." The shop assistant's eyes lit up at the mention of the house and he hurriedly took out several booklets listing details of various courtyard houses.

Several people sat together looking through the map. Ye Jinxuan pointed to a house map and said, "This one looks good. It has a spacious courtyard and many rooms."

Chu Qiao examined the address carefully and frowned slightly. "It's just a bit far from the city center."

Zhong Ziling didn't quite understand, so she stood obediently beside Chu Qiao, her little hands clutching the hem of his clothes.

At that moment, another worker hurried over and whispered a few words in the ear of the first worker.

The shopkeeper's expression changed, and he said with a forced smile, "Gentlemen, I just received news that that house has just been sold. But I have another excellent one here, right by the lake in the city, with a truly beautiful view."

Ye Wuhen and the others don't matter!

Since nothing's been decided yet, they said, "Then take us to see it!"

Everyone became interested and followed the waiter to see the house.

Although this is a two-courtyard house, it is quite spacious because it has a back garden. This two-courtyard house is almost equivalent to a three-courtyard house!

Upon entering, the stunning scenery of the lake and mountains unfolded before my eyes, and there were several plum trees in full bloom in the courtyard.

Ye Wuhen smiled and said, "This place looks pretty good, what do you think?"

Ye Jinxuan nodded and said, "There are plenty of rooms, enough for us."

Shi Mobai and Chu Qiao had no objections, so the group decided to rent the house.

However, renting this house required paying at least one month's rent upfront, a condition that everyone felt wasn't too demanding, so they agreed.

After all, they didn't know how long they would stay in Phoenix City. After paying the rent, the group went to the inn together, checked out of their rooms, and brought their luggage, carriage, and horses to the mansion.

There was a place to keep horses behind the house, and Shi Mobai asked Jiang Shunli to settle the horses and feed them some hay.

Ye Jinxuan, Ye Wuhen, and the others each chose their own rooms. Chu Qiao let her sister stay in one of the adjacent rooms so that she could take care of her if anything happened.

After everyone had finished preparing, when it was time to eat, they realized that no one had cooked for them, so they had to go to a restaurant outside to eat again.

As they walked out after finishing their meal, Ye Wuhen said, "Why don't we go and buy a housewife who can cook?"

Chu Qiao also said, "I'm looking for someone who can take care of children. Although I can usually take care of my sister, there are times when I can't take care of her properly."

Ye Wuhen nodded. "Okay! Then let's find someone who can cook, take care of the kids, and do regular housework."

These words resonated with everyone, since they had to do everything themselves since they came out, especially now that there were so many of them, the youngest being only three years old.

They are still quite young children, and things like washing clothes and doing housework are still quite difficult for them.

When the group returned to the brokerage, the clerk who had rented the house to them thought they had changed their minds, and his expression changed.

“Since the house has already been rented to you guys and you’ve paid the rent, the rent cannot be refunded.”

Ye Wuhen smiled and said, "You've misunderstood. We're not here to return the house. We're looking for a cook. Do you have one here?"
