When Xu Yun asked this question, the middle-aged man in the room became even more enthusiastic: "I wonder why you want to see Beiping Yin? Do you want to seek an official position, or do you want to offer advice? Or do you want to complain?"

This series of words made Xu Yun unable to hold back his silence.

Xu Yun even had an illusion: here, becoming an official is just a matter of a word!

However, it is obvious that this is impossible.

She has no family background and has never done anything remarkable, so why would anyone give her an official position?

As for offering advice... what advice could she offer? She hadn't even explored the route.

Xu Yun took out the letter Xiao Zheyue left for him: "This is a token Xiao Zheyue left for me. She asked me to come to Beiping Yin."

The other party immediately took the letter, opened it and took a quick look, a look of surprise appeared on his face, then he came out of the house and personally led Xu Yun to another room.

Then he poured Xu Yun a cup of hot water and said with some regret: "Beiping Yin went to the palace to discuss matters with the two kings today. It will probably take a long time."

Xu Yun held the bamboo cup in his hand, his expression calm: "Should I come back tomorrow?"

She thought she was very considerate. After all, this matter might need to be reported to higher authorities and finally to Xiao Zheyue for instructions.

Unexpectedly, the other party smiled kindly and said, "No, no, no, I will do it for Miss Xu today. I wonder what area Miss Xu likes? Do you have any other requirements?"

What that means is that we should try our best to satisfy you!

Xu Yun was slightly surprised, but asked straightforwardly: "What are the available locations?"

The other party understood what Xu Yun meant and said with a smile: "I will go get a booklet so that Miss Xu can take a look at it herself. It will record the size, orientation, and location."

While Xu Yun was politely thanking him, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Look, look! How useful is Xiao Zheyue's face! Luo Erlang can't do that! And Xiao Zheyue is so generous!

Soon the other party asked his attendant to bring a booklet and patiently introduced it to Xu Yun.

Xu Yun had already inquired about it. The city of Beiping was divided into four districts, with the imperial palace basically in the center, with four avenues, Suzaku, Xuanwu, Qinglong, and Baihu, leading directly to the four major city gates.

These four avenues also divided the city of Peking into four districts.

The west district is mainly composed of shops, various wine shops, tea houses, etc.

The East District is home to princes and nobles, and is mostly populated by various government offices. Of course, there are also houses for common people, but they are few.

The southern area is mainly residential.

In addition to residential buildings, the North District also has academies, Taoist temples, and Buddhist temples.

Gongyuan is also in the northern district.

Now, Xu Yun lives in the East District.

Xu Yun asked, "Can I also choose the house in the East District?"

The other party did not hesitate at all: "Of course, but there is a limit on the size. There are three people in Miss Xu's family, so we can only choose a small house suitable for three people to live in."

He even mentioned it in a tactful way: "Most of the houses in the East District were better when they were built, but now, most of the good ones have been picked up."

The only ones left are those that are too small, or have bad locations, or are too dilapidated.

Xu Yun nodded: "Then I choose the North District?"

The other party was a little surprised, but he quickly said, "There are quite a few houses left in the North District, you can choose. I can make the decision and give you a slightly larger one. But not too much bigger."

Xu Yun smiled and said, "Thank you very much."

She flipped through the archives and chose a house that was closest to the Imperial Examination Hall. The house was not very big, just a little bigger than the courtyard where Xu Yun lived now, and only the west wing was built.

The other party felt that Xu Yun was very good at choosing, and nodded repeatedly: "Although this house does not have many rooms, the place is large enough. If the young lady has money, she can build a few more rooms."

Xu Yun thanked him with a smile, and then said, "I thought so too. Besides, my family believes in Taoism, and this place is very close to the Taoist temple, so it will be very convenient for me to burn incense and pray for blessings in the future."

Only then did the other party ask, "Does Miss Xu know Miss Xiao well?"

Xu Yun had no intention of doing anything with Xiao Zheyue's reputation, so he simply distanced himself from the matter: "It was Miss Xiao who saw that we three mothers and daughters were pitiful, so she pointed out a way for us."

The other person's expression froze for a moment, as if asking: Are you sure you are talking about Xiao Zheyue?

Xu Yun's expression was sincere and grateful, and it didn't look fake.

So the other person's expression looked like he was struck by lightning.

Xu Yun understood that Xiao Zheyue's reputation might not be very good. In any case, she was definitely not kind and soft-hearted.

But the lie had already been told and could not be changed, so Xu Yun faced the other person's gaze and nodded slowly and seriously again.

In the end, the other party did not ask any further questions, but just politely asked Xu Yun if he had any other needs. After learning that he did not, he kindly sent the guest away.

Xu Yun could see a slight difference, but it was indeed not that big.

I think it is because the other party is sure that he has no identity or background and is not familiar with Xiao Zheyue.

But Xu Yun didn't care. He took the house deed and went out. He hailed a car and drove straight to the new house in the North District.

The houses in the North District are generally more dilapidated than those in the East District. There are even adobe houses, which were probably inhabited by ordinary people in the past.

On the way to Xu Yun's house, one had to pass by the Imperial Examination Hall first.

The Gongyuan was even more dilapidated...it looked like the gate was about to collapse.

Finally, she arrived at Xu Yun's new house. After taking a look, she breathed a sigh of relief: it was actually better than she had imagined. Although it was not as good as the house in Dongcheng, it was also a house with tiles.

Xu Yun went in and took a look around, and found that the degree of desolation was even worse than that of East City. There was almost no furniture left in the house - it was probably moved away by the previous owner during the war.

She didn't start to tidy up. After looking around and having an idea of ​​what was going on, she hired a car and went to West City.

There is a market in West City where both livestock and people can be bought.

Xu Yun went to buy someone.

Although these houses were distributed to the people for free, the government had a requirement that they must be occupied. If no one moved in within a month, they would be taken back and distributed to people who really needed them.

Therefore, Xu Yun couldn't just leave it alone forever.

What's more, although this house can be cleaned up and lived in now, it is still a little far from what she wants.

Xu Yun picked for a long time in the market and finally chose two suitable people.

This is a grandfather and grandson. However, they are not innocent people selling themselves, but have been slaves since the beginning.

Their former master's family was originally a prominent figure, but they committed a crime and their property was confiscated, so they were naturally pulled over and planned to be sold - you have to know that the punishment of confiscating property is that not only the gold, silver and jewelry in the house will be confiscated, but also the servants in the house, the masters' luxurious clothes, jewelry, and even the slaves' money will be confiscated. Then, the slaves will be sold again, and the money obtained will be taken directly by the government.

After some hesitation, Xu Yun chose this grandfather and grandson.
