Siheyuan: Picked up by a goddess in 48 years

In the evening, Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong arranged a banquet in the yard.

But the Lu family was the same as usual. No banquet was good, so it was better not to go. The beasts hoped that there would be fewer people so they could eat more.

Time flies, more than a month later.

"Tsk tsk, is this the place you, my naughty brother, arranged for your sister?" Chen Xueru looked at the ordinary courtyard house in front of her, and seemed dissatisfied.

"Don't just look outside, go inside and take a look first."

Lu Zhenyuan replied unhappily and took out the key to unlock it.

Pushing their bicycles, the two entered the courtyard. Lu Zhenyuan closed the gate and turned around to see Chen Xueru already looking around.

This courtyard with two entrances was the one he had won in a lottery. It was located in Jianzi Lane, not far from Nanluogu Lane. The courtyard was neither big nor small, and the blue bricks, grey tiles, and embossed lattice windows were all very artistic.

There are quite a few artworks in the house, such as tapestries, calligraphy and paintings, and porcelain screens. Although they have no value, they are pleasing to the eye and help people appreciate the taste of life.

The landscaping is also well done, with flowers and grass, which is refreshing.

Chen Xueru fell in love with this place at first sight, and when Lu Zhenyuan came closer, she gave her a big hug.

“Well, this place is great!”

Lu Zhenyuan took a deep breath and reached out subconsciously.

Chen Xueru whimpered, rolled her eyes at him, and scolded him, "You little brat!"

"You were the one who took the initiative to throw yourself into my arms, why are you blaming me?" Lu Zhenyuan looked very innocent.

Chen Xueru snorted to express her dissatisfaction, but her hands around Lu Zhenyuan's neck did not separate. Contrary to her appearance, she was very proud inside.

After whispering in each other's ears for a while, the two separated.

"Since you are satisfied, you can live here from now on." Lu Zhenyuan said after calming down.

Chen Xueru nodded, and charmingly stepped forward and stretched out her hand to pinch his cheek, "Didn't you say you had something for me to do? Tell me what it is. If you don't find something for me to do, I won't be able to sit still."

"Let's talk about it after people arrive." Lu Zhenyuan said.

Because the news had gradually spread, Chen Xueru had already closed her silk shop business ahead of schedule. Lu Zhenyuan also knew that she could not stay, so he arranged a job for her.

Sure enough, not long after, there was a knock on the gate.

Lu Zhenyuan went straight over and opened the door. Standing outside were business elite Yang Yunqi and five followers, all carrying large and small bags in their hands.

A group of people entered the courtyard.

"Miss Chen."

Yang Yunqi took the initiative to greet.

Chen Xueru nodded, "Boss Yang, what are you doing?"

Because of her stinky little brother, she naturally knew Yang Yunqi. After all, he had helped her in developing the silk shop's business.

"I'm just running errands. Let the young master tell you the details." Yang Yunqi said politely.

Chen Xueru keenly caught the title of "Young Master" and her inquiring eyes fell on the stinky younger brother, but she was smart enough not to ask any questions.

"If there's nothing else, go back first. Get ready and it's time for you to set off." Lu Zhenyuan said to Yang Yunqi.

"Okay, young master, I will contact you regularly."

Yang Yunqi bowed respectfully and turned to leave.

"You three go to the back room." Lu Zhenyuan said to the three male attendants, then looked at the other two female attendants, "You two stay in the west wing."

"Yes, Master."

The five people responded in unison and then dispersed.

Chen Xueru looked at this naughty brother and felt a little strange, a little excited, and her heart was surging.

"Brother, this is..."

Lu Zhenyuan chuckled, took her hand and sat on a wooden bench in the yard.

"I plan to buy some old items. Those three people will be responsible for the purchase. I need someone to manage the money. I will have to trouble you, Sister Xueru, to manage the money and keep the accounts."

"The other two people will be responsible for helping you, maintaining the rules of the courtyard and taking care of you. How about this job? Isn't it easy?"

"Old stuff, you mean..."

Before Chen Xueru finished her words, Lu Zhenyuan raised his hand to stop her, saying that some things are better known.

Chen Xueru smiled charmingly and hugged Lu Zhenyuan's arm.

"How much will you pay my sister if she works for you?"

"I've given you the money, so isn't it up to you to decide how much you want to give yourself?"

Chen Xueru blinked her beautiful eyes.

“Does this count as handing over the financial power to me?”

Lu Zhenyuan raised his eyebrows and said, "This part is for you to use as you wish, as long as you don't do business with it."

You have the final say on what I give you.

Chen Xueru snorted softly, and most of her body pressed on Lu Zhenyuan as if in revenge. Naturally, she heard the underlying meaning of his words.

As if she was still not satisfied, she gently bit one of Lu Zhenyuan's ears.

Lu Zhenyuan shuddered, and felt a touch of warmth wrapping around his earlobe.

"Brother, just take out the other person's money. Anyway, I have reserved her to be yours and will give her to you sooner or later." The soft and charming words rang in her ears, accompanied by a fragrant breeze blowing on her face.

Can't stand it!

Lu Zhenyuan stood up and said fiercely, "Just wait!"

Chen Xueru covered her mouth and giggled.

Humph, little man, you got it!

After discussing some matters with Chen Xueru and agreeing to come here often, Lu Zhenyuan rode away on his bike.

He wanted to buy those old items, not for the purpose of making money, but simply because he was interested in these things that retained a sense of history and wanted to collect them to prevent them from being lost in the future.

After all, after a few years, those old and wealthy people have a hard time, especially the former. Life is so hard that they dare to sell everything in order to maintain their so-called living standards, no matter who they sell it to.

Those are all the accumulation of historical heritage, which are being taken away by outsiders just like being sold off. Instead of that, it is better to plan ahead and get as much as you can.

It can also be considered as finding something for Chen Xueru to do.

I leisurely arrived at Nanluoguxiang and returned to No. 95 Courtyard. When I arrived at the door of my house, I heard some chirping in the house, which seemed a little familiar.

Knock on the door.

Aunt Mei opened the door, and when I entered the room I saw three little beauties having fun.

In addition to Xiao Yuyan, there is also...

"Yan Zi, Xiao Tang, when did you come?" The other two were his classmates and little followers, Liu Yan and Tang Tang.

"Zhen Yuan."

"Brother Zhenyuan."

The two greeted each other and then explained, "We came here not long after you went out. We originally wanted to go out and play with you."

Lu Zhenyuan shrugged.

"How did you get here?"

"I went to look for Yan Zi. Uncle Liu sent someone to bring us here." Xiao Tang replied in a crisp voice.

"Well, stay for dinner tonight. I'll take you back after dinner."

The two nodded obediently, and then pulled Lu Zhenyuan to play games with him, but he didn't have the time to do so. He couldn't stand the three little girls' soft and hard persuasion, so he could only act as a passerby player and watch the three of them play.

The three little girls were very satisfied with this.

Lu Zhenyuan was speechless as he watched the three little girls playing with their rag dolls.

"Yuanzi, what do you want to eat tonight?" Aunt Mei asked with a smile on her face.

"Um……"

Lu Zhenyuan thought for a moment and said, "Make a cold beef salad, stir-fried seasonal vegetables, squirrel fish, Mushu pork, vinegar-fried cabbage, and a loofah and egg soup. I'll help you."

Instead of watching the three little girls playing house, he would rather go to the kitchen and help Aunt Mei.

"No, no! They're all quick dishes, I can do it myself." Ignoring Lu Zhenyuan's resentful look, Aunt Mei refused directly. Without giving him a chance to react, she went straight into the kitchen and locked the door.

Lu Zhenyuan: ...

"Brother Zhenyuan, let's play house. Yan Zi will play the mother, you will play the father, I will play the second mother, and Yuyan will play the stepmother." Xiaotang said, pulling Lu Zhenyuan's hand.

"Oh……"

"Ok?"

Lu Zhenyuan responded subconsciously before he reacted.

"Wait! I play the father, Yan Ziyan plays the mother, and you play the stepmother? Yuyan plays the stepmother?? Hiss~" Lu Zhenyuan couldn't help but take a breath, this script... is a bit explosive.

Even if the plot is as explosive as this, shouldn't Yuyan be the younger sister-in-law? Do they still need to act?

Looking at Xiao Yuyan who was laughing heartlessly, Lu Zhenyuan's mouth twitched.
