"Go and buy according to this list."

Lin Shuyue handed the written list to Qingsheng.

Madam Li rolled her eyes and stepped forward and said, "Miss Lin, why not let Xiao Liuzi go with this young brother? Although Xiao Liuzi is a coachman, he often goes out with the housekeeper who is in charge of purchasing things."

Lin Shuyue looked up at her and nodded with a smile: "Okay, it would be nice if someone familiar led the way. Then I'll trouble Xiao Liuzi to accompany you."

Mother Li watched Qinghe take out a bulging purse from her arms and hand it to Qingsheng, and the smile in her eyes grew larger.

The six maids sent by Madam Qin were personally appointed by Madam Yang. They were all very skillful and quick-witted. The house was almost ready in one afternoon, and all that was left was to put the newly purchased furniture, curtains, and mattresses in place.

At sunset, Mother Li left the house with six little maids, smiling happily, holding the purse in her sleeve.

Lin Shuyue took Qinghe and Qingzhi to tour the tidied house, writing down the things that were missed and needed to be purchased. It was not until nightfall that the four masters and servants locked the door of the house and got on the carriage back to Huai'an Lane.

"Miss, Brother Qingsheng said that Xiao Liuzi is Mama Li's distant nephew. Brother Qingsheng also said that Xiao Liuzi introduced the owners of various shops to him. When he left, Brother Qingsheng stuffed a purse into his pocket." Qinghe whispered Qingsheng's words to Lin Shuyue.

Lin Shuyue nodded gently, glanced at Qinghe and Qingzhi again, and said softly: "The capital is not like Sishui County. You should listen more, watch more, and think more when you walk around.

Also, don’t be reluctant to spend money, as sometimes a little help can bring unexpected gains.”

Qinghe and Qingzhi looked at each other and nodded quickly.

After dinner, Qinghe and Qingzhi rested for a while and then began to clean up the house.

Mrs. Liu stood at the kitchen door and looked at Lin Shuyue who was leisurely drinking tea in the yard. After hesitating for a long time, she stepped forward and asked cautiously, "Miss Lin, are you moving away?"

Lin Shuyue smiled and nodded: "Well, I have bought a house in North City and plan to move there tomorrow."

Mrs. Liu looked up at her in surprise, then hesitated and said, "Then my master..."

"Don't worry, Aunt Liu. I will have someone send a letter to Lord Ye to inform him tomorrow."

If someone is kind enough to take you in, you should at least let them know, right?

After hearing this, Mrs. Liu didn't ask any more questions and turned back to the kitchen to boil some water.

The next day, after dinner, the master and his four servants moved the packed luggage into the carriage. After making sure that nothing was left out, Qingsheng drove the carriage to Qinglu Lane in the north city.

Compared with the rest of the East City and West City, the North City is more prosperous and lively. The carriage passed through the busy streets and turned into the alleys. When it passed through an alley, the carriage stopped.

Qing Sheng turned his head and approached the carriage door and whispered, "Miss, there is a family moving things in front, and the carriage can't pass."

Lin Shuyue lifted the car curtain and looked forward. There were three carriages parked in front of the house, blocking the alley.

Several men dressed as servants were unloading large and small bags of things from the carriage, and there was a middle-aged man dressed as a steward directing them.

The steward seemed to have just seen their carriage. After looking in their direction, he was heard shouting at the servants to speed up.

After waiting for a while, the things in the carriage were unloaded, and the servant who was carrying the things followed the steward into the house. The three coachmen drove the carriage forward and left the alley.

"drive…"

Qingsheng waved the whip, and the carriage continued to move forward with a "da da da" sound.

When she passed by the house, she looked up and saw a plaque hanging above the gate of the house with "Bai House" written on it.

When they arrived at Qinglu Lane, the carriage stopped. Qingsheng got out, unlocked the door, lowered the threshold of the side door, and drove the carriage directly into the house.

After the carriage stopped, Qinghe and Qingzhi took the luggage off the carriage.

Lin Shuyue took out a letter from her bosom and gave it to Qingsheng: "Qingsheng, take this letter to Wu'an Marquis's Mansion. If Lord Ye is not in the mansion, just give it to the gatekeeper."

"Yes, ma'am."

Qingsheng put the letter away and drove the carriage out.

As soon as he left, Qingzhi closed the door, turned to look at Lin Shuyue, and said with a smile: "Miss, we have a house in Beijing!"

"Well, from now on, my second brother won't have to stay at an inn when he goes to Beijing to take the imperial examination!"

Lin Shuyue was also very happy. From now on, she would own a house in Beijing.

However, it was just a coincidence that they were able to buy such a suitable house in the capital city where every inch of land is valuable.

The house had originally been reserved by someone who had paid a deposit, but a few days later the person changed his mind and left the capital without even asking for the deposit.

I heard from the broker that the customer seemed to have offended the Jinyiwei, so he fled overnight.

It is also because of this rumor that no one dares to take over this house.

When Lin Shuyue knew about this, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She didn't expect the Jinyiwei to be so lethal.

However, this was also a good thing for her. She didn't have to worry about the Jinyiwei causing trouble. After all, she was the savior of their leader.

"Let's go, put your luggage away first, and then we'll go to the dental office after Qingsheng returns with the letter."

Lin Shuyue waved her hand and walked towards the backyard with cheerful steps.

After putting her luggage away, she had to go to the pawnshop to buy a few servants. Qinghe and Qingzhi could not clean such a big house every day, and someone had to look after the house after they left.

A house without people living in it can easily deteriorate.

Lin Shuyue lived in a small courtyard next to the main courtyard. They had very little luggage and had packed it in less than half an hour.

After Qingsheng came back after delivering the letter, the group went to the pawnshop. When they returned to Qinglu Lane again, they had a doorman, a cook, and maids and servants who cleaned the house.

"Mom, why does grandma insist that we go together? I have already made plans. I will ask Sister Peiwan to go to Ningxiangju after returning from Fohua Temple."

In the carriage, a girl with an oval face and willow-shaped eyebrows leaned in the arms of a gentle and generous beautiful woman, pouting with some dissatisfaction.

The beautiful woman frowned when she heard her words, but still explained softly: "Manyin, the Lin family saved your uncle's life. This time the little girl of the Lin family came to Beijing alone, and we should go to see her and protect her.

Originally, your grandmother wanted her to live in our house, but she didn't expect that the little girl would buy a house as soon as she arrived in Beijing."

At this point she chuckled, "It seems that this little girl is not only brave, but also a successful person in her heart. No wonder her parents are relieved to let her go out alone."

Qin Manyin listened thoughtfully, then her eyes lit up and she said excitedly: "Mom, do you think she is really as powerful as Uncle San said? Is she like the heroine in the storybook, heroic and valiant?"

"Maybe. For a little girl like her to reach the capital safely, she must have something to rely on."

Zhao Nianqin glanced at her daughter, whose eyes sparkled, and after a moment's thought, she added, "If Miss Lin gets along well with you, why don't you and Manzhen see if you can invite her to live with us? It's not safe for a young girl who hasn't even reached the age of marriage to live alone."

"Okay, I'll talk to Big Sister later."

Qin Manyin nodded, becoming more and more curious about Lin Shuyue.
