Entering the city again, Mu Zhi was not as anxious as yesterday. She rode a horse and looked at the bustling scene on the street, and smelled the aroma of various foods in the air. She decided to have breakfast first before getting down to business!

There were a few small food stalls on the side of the street that were steaming, so she got off her horse, led her to a nearby stall that could tie a horse, and ordered a bowl of small wontons, stuffed with chicken, not much wrapped, and there was still some soup base smell.

Before leaving, he asked the stall owner about the location of the commercial house where the house was traded, and then slowly walked there. Buying a house is easy, and Mu Zhi told his request to the broker of the commercial house: "The location is a house facing the street in the inner city. There must be a forest garden, the courtyard must be large and quiet, and people can live in it.”

The person who received her was a middle-aged man who carefully wrote down these requirements and reported them to the shopkeeper.When the shopkeeper saw Muzhi's attire, he knew he was a distinguished guest!He hurriedly asked the agent to take out a stack of paper and a roll of maps, and then respectfully invited her aside and said: "I just heard what the girl said. We have a few places that meet the requirements. I will introduce them to the girl first!"

After listening to Mu Zhi, he chose two places, and the shopkeeper asked someone to lead the way and accompany him to see the house.After taking a general look, she chose a typical south hall and north water, facing each other across the water, with a large view of the Jiangnan house, and settled on it.

Go back to the commercial bank and pay the deposit, and only wait for the broker Zhang Luo to pay the final payment tomorrow to take the land deed.

After coming out of the business, Mu Zhi simply found an inn to rest temporarily, and asked the shop assistant to deliver some dishes to the room. The room was at the corner of the third floor, and you could see the scenery of two streets. There were not many people, and the vendors moved their stalls into the shadows.

Just as she was drinking tea leisurely, she heard the sound of galloping horseshoes on the street, so she looked over there. On the other side of the corner, a boy was running towards this side with a little girl on his back. The rider was a The big boa boa, seeing someone rushing out suddenly, reined in the reins violently, the horse neighed, its front hooves raised, the horse stood upright and then fell heavily!

The big man fell off the horse in a panic, and the boy also fell to the ground because he couldn't dodge in time, and the little girl on his back burst into tears!The big man got up, his face was full of anger, and he was about to throw his whip at her!

Mu Zhi hurriedly jumped out of the window, hugged the girl and dodged to the side!The big man became even angrier after he flicked the whip, and shouted sharply: "Where did you come from, you dare to block Grandpa's way!" After that, another whip came over!Mu Zhi still doesn't know how lethal he is to others now, and he doesn't want to hurt others casually, so he has to back away.

The big man was reluctant to attack again, so she had no choice but to trap him with the jade curtain and wipe his clothes, and said to him: "If you hit the whip, he may die!"

The big man hadn't realized how he was hanged, and he was even angrier when he heard this: "Grandpa almost fell to his death because of him, of course I have to teach him a lesson!"

Mu Zhi added Tianxiang Yijue and said again after extending the time: "How about this, you bypass them, how about I compensate you some silver taels for them and let you see a doctor?"

The big man was finally put down. He saw that the umbrella in the opposite woman's hand was weird, and his kung fu must be even stronger. He couldn't get any benefits, so he had to be embarrassed and walked away quickly with the money.

After the boy comforted the little girl, he walked up to Muzhi and said gratefully: "Thank you for saving my life! I don't know what the name of the heroine is, but we brothers and sisters will surely repay each other in the future!

Mu Zhi didn't answer, he squatted down and looked at the little girl and asked softly: "Is there any injury?"The little girl shook her head timidly with her hands behind her back, Mu Zhi gently took her hand and looked at it, it was okay, it was just a slight bruise, and looking at the boy, his cheek was also bruised.

She got up and said to the young man, "May I take you to the inn to clean the wound?" The young man was stunned for a moment when he saw the beautiful face of the young woman in front of him, nodded blankly and followed her to the inn.

Mu Zhi asked the innkeeper to prepare a pot of boiling water, boiled cold water, and clean cotton cloth to the room.Rinse off the mud and sand on the little girl's hands with cold water, and then clean them up with a cotton cloth soaked in boiling water.

"Have you had lunch?" Mu Zhi asked.

"Didn't eat" "Eat!"

Two voices sounded at the same time, and the little girl immediately covered her mouth!Keep your eyes open for brother!

Mu Zhi laughed and said: "Take you downstairs to get some food before you leave? I ran so anxiously just now, is there something important?"

"My brother is in a hurry to go to work!" the little girl whispered.

Mu Zhi didn't ask any more questions, and asked the buddy to pack some pastries and a few chicken legs for them and let them go!

On the second day, the broker of the commercial firm had already prepared the house deed and land deed. After Mu Zhi paid the money, the shopkeeper asked her again: "When will the girl move in, do you need someone to help clean?"

Muzhi then asked the shopkeeper to find some people to help her tidy up the house, and then went to the dental shop recommended by the shopkeeper to hire a cook and a gardener who could take care of the garden. She didn't plan to buy a servant girl. The business people are very uncomfortable and just want to hire people to work.

Just as he was going out, he saw the boy he met yesterday looking at the door, as if he had been waiting for a long time.

She walked over to him and asked, "What's wrong?"

The boy hesitated and said, "You want someone to clean it? I can help! No need to pay!"

Mu Zhi didn't want him to feel indebted all the time, so she agreed, and asked him to go to the dental clinic with her first. Walking on the bluestone road, she asked the boy: "What's your name? How old are you this year?"

"My name is Chang'an, I'm 15 this year!" the boy replied.

"Where do you live, and how many people are there?"

"I live on North Second Street in the outer city. Besides my younger sister, I have a grandma."

After hearing this, Mu Zhi guessed in his heart that he was probably the only source of income for the family, no wonder he was in such a hurry yesterday.He asked again: "Is there a place where you can work permanently?"

Chang An replied: "No, they are all temporary helpers."

Mu Zhi nodded and did not speak again.

After entering the dental shop, he informed his purpose of coming, and the staff of the dental shop quickly brought a few people over. After Mu Zhi asked a few questions, he ordered two people to come.

Bringing a few people back to the courtyard, more than a dozen people arranged by the shopkeeper are cleaning without touching the floor. The hall has been cleaned up. Mo Zhi found a chair and sat down, and said to the two people who had just been hired: "I No one is left to stay, you can come to work during the day, the three-month probation period, you can rest four days a month, the wages will be paid, and you can make any requests."

The cook and the gardener probably had never heard of such a strange request, but when they heard that the wages were paid, they readily accepted it.Mo Zhi then sent them to the house to see if there was anything they needed to buy, and made a list together.

Chang'an stood aside without speaking, and Mu Zhi beckoned him to come over.

"Since you don't have a fixed place to work, would you like to come to my place and help me?"

"Yes! I can do anything! I would love to!"

"Do you know martial arts? Can you read or not?" Mu Zhi asked him again.

"A little kung fu, I have read a few books before!"

Mu Zhi asked him to stay, without specifying what he was asked to do, only that he would call him if something happened.

"Can I bring my younger sister here when I'm working, she's very obedient and won't disturb others!" Chang An asked.

"Yes, how is your grandma? Does she need someone to take care of her?"

"Grandma is in good health and can still do some needlework on weekdays."

Mu Zhi thought for a while and said, "I'm the only one in the family. I don't live here often on weekdays. I need someone to help look after the house. Why don't you bring your family here."

Chang An stared at her blankly for a few seconds before responding: "Of course I am willing, but I have to go back and discuss it with grandma."

Muzhi nodded and told him to go back first, but he said, "I'll help with the work first, and I'll go back at night."

Admiration agreed.She was in a good mood, and asked Chang An to go to the garden with him. The corridors around the garden were winding and varied, and the garden was full of illusion and reality. It was a bit dilapidated because no one took care of it for a long time, but the few big trees were full of vitality. There are cheerful chirping of birds above the head, and the greenery around is very comfortable.

The gardener had already looked around the garden, and when he saw her, he earnestly praised the scenery of the garden to her. It's just the beginning of summer now, and the plants will start to grow after a while.Mu Zhi casually chatted with him about flowers and plants.

At this time the sun is on the head, it is time to eat.She took some silver and handed it to Chang An, and asked him to go to Heming Tower and order two tables of meals to be delivered.

When Changan heard that he could finally help, he agreed happily!

After the list was made here, Chang'an also came back with two guys carrying food boxes. The cook helped spread the food, and the cleaning guys came around.

Those who worked after eating continued to work, Muzhi took Chang'an to the street to buy, and the bought things were sent directly to the house.

Mu Zhi asked Chang An to go back to the house to check the goods first, and then went to the business store where she bought the house. The shopkeeper saw her from a long distance, and hurriedly greeted her with a smile on his face: "Miss, is there anything else I can help you with?"

Mu Zhi asked the shopkeeper to take out the map, circled a piece of land near the West Lake and said:

"Who does the shopkeeper of this land belong to? Can it be bought or sold?"

The shopkeeper took a closer look, stroked his moustache, and said: Our Hangzhou Prefecture is under the jurisdiction of Jiangnan Province, and most of the land in Jiangnan Province belongs to the Hua family, and our firm belongs to the Hua family. The land is not registered, so I will help the girl to find out later. "

Florist?Flowers all over the building?Yes!It is written in the book that his family has so much land that even if they ride a fast horse for a day, they still can't get out of their family's property range.Mu Zhi thought silently.

"Thank you shopkeeper, if you have any news, you can come to the mansion to let us know!" Mu Zhi thanked him with his hands clasped.

"Haha, where is it! The girl is a distinguished guest, and I am very lucky to be able to help you!"

Back in the courtyard, Chang An was receiving goods at the door, and the gardener and cook were also confirming the list.The cleaning guy has already cleaned up all the places with his hands and feet. Mu Zhi rewarded each of them with some money, and the group happily accepted them, thanked them, and left.

It was getting late, the cook was preparing dinner, and the gardener went to the garden with his things.

Mu Zhi returned to the room, took out some unused small pieces of furniture, antiques, calligraphy and painting, and Feng Shui decorations from the game backpack, put them into the box, and called Chang'an to come in and move them out together.

Chang'an has never seen these things before, although some of them have lost their elegance, they look more advanced and expensive.

There are no decorations in the room, and Mu Zhi doesn't like these, so I put a few pieces for a little decoration, and I plan to find someone to make some soft decorations that suit my own aesthetics.

In the dining room, the cook had already served the food, and the cook's voice wafted over along with the aroma of the food...

Muzhi asked everyone to sit down and eat together. The three of them were not used to it, and she didn't bother to say anything. She will gradually get used to it in the future.

She skipped the staple food at night and chose two light dishes to eat. The cook asked a little uneasy: "But it doesn't suit your taste?"

Mu Zhi smiled and said, "It tastes good, but I'm used to eating less at night. I usually eat more in the morning, but I only eat light food. I can prepare normally for lunch."

The cook felt relieved: "Does that girl like to eat?"

"Fish and shrimp, chicken, beef and sheep, and eggs are all available. Except for crabs, I don't like to eat them very much, and I have nothing to avoid." She was allergic to crabs when she was a child. Although she got better when she grew up, she still didn't like it very much.

"I've written it all down, I'll make some more designs for the girl tomorrow!"

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

"Well, this is what I should do, as long as the girl is used to the taste of my cooking!"

Muzhi nodded, took a cup of tea and drank it slowly, and then told Chang'an: "Chang'an, go home early after dinner and watch the road."

Chang An hummed twice, finished eating three or two bites, bid her farewell and ran out.

"This kid! Slow down!" The cook shouted worriedly, and he disappeared after a while.
