Wen's sect's scumbag junior brother is back

The owner of this imperial city mansion is back!

The words stirred up a thousand waves, and the people who were watching the theater in the hall couldn't help being shocked, and their eyes moved to Xu Chaoqi.

This person is actually the real owner of the mansion? !

Feeling ashamed as much as the boy, everyone couldn't help but feel ashamed for him when they thought of the boy's uprightness just now, their toes almost scratched the soles of their shoes in embarrassment.

The boy was hoarse, trying to refute, but the evidence was solid, which made his throat feel like a stone was stuffed, and he couldn't utter a word.

The boy was taken down and thrown into prison.

The Fifth Prince stood at the back of the hall for a while, his face was flushed red by the intense heat, he waved his sleeves, covered his face, and left the back hall.

This matter seems to be over, but it has only just begun.

Many people know that the master behind half of the houses in the imperial city is the same person.

The owner of the mansion who has been missing for many years is back, how can this not attract everyone's attention?All of a sudden, celebrities from the imperial city rushed out, wanting to find out.

Xu Chaoqi was not idle when he got the land deed. It happened to be the day of rent collection, so he simply packed his clothes and went door to door with the land deed to collect rent.

The guys in charge of the mansion also came to meet him in time, nodded and bowed after confirming that he was the real owner of the land deed, kept giving gifts, and said that since Xu Chaoqi was here, they would not have to work this year.

When the clerk retreated, Xu Chaoqi didn't have to find out where the tenant was.He directly held a dozen land deeds, and moved along a street from the first house to one by one.

Today's day is very hot, and people come and go on the street, looking for shade.

It's just that this street is different. All it sells are jewelry and expensive refreshments. People who come to this street are either rich or expensive, and they dare not go in if they don't have a few hundred taels on hand.

People dare not approach the shop even if they are standing under the bright sun, for fear that they will accidentally enter the shop and lose their fortune.

"Hey! Guest officer, please go inside. We have newly arrived jade pendants, belts, and hairpins. Let me see, some of them are especially suitable for you!"

As soon as the clerk standing at the door saw Xu Chaoqi, he quickly showed his hospitality and took him into the shop to serve tea and water.

The clerk smiled and looked at Xu Chaoqi quietly, and saw that the other side was pretty, with a slender figure and clear eyes, a rare beauty.

With a "tsk" in his heart, he took out the most expensive accessory in the store, and carefully put it on the table for Xu Chaoqi to choose.

"I see that the guest officer is dressed in an extraordinary way. After thinking about it, only this outfit can match the guest officer. Look at this scarlet jade, it is clear and transparent, and it is very suitable for you!"

The clerk saw Mo Yu next to him again, and said casually: "If you have elders or elder brothers, Mo Yu is also very suitable as a gift. The two are already compatible, and they are more intimate."

Xu Chaoqi's eyes lit up, and he asked the assistant to wrap it up for him.

The guy was very happy when he saw the big order.In addition, Xu Chaoqi also took a fancy to some accessories, all of which were in pairs, and the man wrapped them up very happily, thinking that he could make a lot of money today.

When the clerk finished packing the bags, Xu Chao looked up at the exquisite shop, and couldn't help asking: "I think the location is good, and the monthly rent will cost quite a bit."

When the man heard this, he slapped his thigh and sighed: "I heard from the shopkeeper that our location is the best location in the imperial city. Originally, the emperor wanted to use this place to build a residence for his favorite prince, but the annual rent alone is very high." After thinking about it, the emperor decided that it would be the most economical to keep the shops open to collect taxes, and in the end this street became the most prosperous place in the imperial city."

The clerk approached Xu Chaoqi, looked left and right, and said furtively, "How much do you think this shop pays a year?"

"How much?" Xu Chaoqi blinked.

The guy "tsk": "2 taels!"

Xu Chaoqi took a breath: "So expensive?"

The guy shook his head: "Isn't it?"

He sighed, counted the accessories, and said with a polite smile: "Guest officer, the total is 8000 taels. I see that you are a very wealthy person, and I don't know what kind of business you are in. This move is enviable."

Xu Chaoqi took the things away, took out a land deed, and said with a smile, "It happens to be the rent collector."

buddy: ...

He was numb, and poured another cup of tea for him with a stiff smile, then turned around and went to find his shopkeeper.

In the end, Xu Chaoqi didn't pay, and the shopkeeper found 1 taels instead.

Before leaving, the shopkeeper also gave a handful of Moyu beads, saying that they would let the children in the family use them as marbles to play with.

All the shopkeepers gave were shining silver, 1 taels of silver was 750 catties of silver, and it would take a lot of effort for Xu Chaoqiguang to stuff it into the storage bag.

When it was time to go to the next teahouse, Xu Chaoqi came out carrying a storage bag full of silver, and at the same time carrying dozens of kinds of tea leaves.

After he finished collecting the first two rents, the shops in the back got the news, and they had prepared refreshments in advance before his arrival, and even prepared servants to rub his waist and back for him.

Xu Chaoqi hastily refused, and ran away as soon as the money was received.As for the presents, Xu Chaoqi couldn't take them anymore, so he wanted to refuse.

However, the shopkeepers were all human beings, and they all smiled and said: "Since the small tenant can't take it anymore, I will ask the staff to deliver it to your house later."

Xu Chaoqi had no choice but to agree.

At the door of the gorgeously decorated store, the clerk smiled and stopped the customers outside the door: "Guest officer, there is really no way, we don't recommend you not to let in, or if you charge 1000 taels at a time, I will make you a distinguished one." With your identity, you can enter as you please, and you can also bring your relatives and friends to play."

The guests outside the door immediately yelled: "What do you mean? I can't go in and have a look? Can you force people to spend money?"

The clerk had no choice but to laugh along with him. At this moment, a young man with a handsome appearance came over. When the clerk saw him, his eyes lit up, and he quickly invited him in.

"Come here! Our shopkeeper has been waiting for you for a long time."

Xu Chaoqi was welcomed in, while the rowdy guests peeped in through the gate.

I saw that the young man didn't pay a penny, instead, the shopkeeper personally accompanied him and brought up all the delicious food and drink in the store, for fear of being a little neglectful.

"What does this mean? Why didn't he pay?" the guest asked back.

The clerk smiled wryly and said, "That's our small renter, who came to collect the rent today, and we can still keep him out of the door? Many people can't wait for the store to be vacant so that they can rent it out."

Sure enough, Xu Chaoqi had eaten and drank enough, and the shopkeeper gave him a gift, and asked for a few more boxes of rent.

The guests outside the door were stunned. This store is a famous gold-selling cave, where money is spent like water, and they can only go in and out. This is the first time they have seen the shopkeeper pay out respectfully.

Xu Chaoqi worked hard to collect rent outside, his forehead and neck were covered with sweat, and his temple hair was also messed up, but fortunately, other people are white and can't get tanned.

After picking up several streets in a row, he was numb, and he couldn't walk after eating all kinds of delicacies.

He sat wearily on the stone steps by the side of the road, his palms were trembling violently, he had just counted the silver, and now he couldn't hold himself steady.

The stench of copper all over his body was very unpleasant, and his eyes were dazzled by silver.

He leaned on the table with difficulty, took a bite of the pastry his senior made for him, and took another sip of the soup.

The blue sky outside was so bright that he couldn't keep his eyes open.He sighed and clicked his tongue. He was tired of good things, and he wanted to change to something lighter.

The sound transmission stone at his waist was removed, and he weakly called his senior brother, and with just one breath, the sound transmission stone was connected.

"Xiao Yao." The brother's gentle and hoarse voice came.

"Brother..." he whimpered.

"Huh?" On the other side, Wen Zhaoxi thought about it, rolled up his sleeves and made some iced drinks.

Xu Chaoqi was exhausted and said: "I want to eat fish, steamed fish."

"Okay." Standing in the kitchen, Wen Zhaoxi, eyelashes drooping, eyebrows soft, first picked some intact grapes, and then peeled off the skins.

The white fingertips rested on the grapes for a while, and then picked out the sour or sweet grapes, then mashed them, and put some fresh milk that had removed the fishy smell.

The palm of the hand lightly covered the bowl, and after a while, the milk froze.

In the corner of the kitchen, the incense mist on the pottery pot was steaming, and the fresh smell of fish had already filled the entire courtyard.

This pot happened to be the steamed fish that Xu Chaoqi had been thinking about, and he started cooking it before he transmitted the sound.

Because at home, Wen Zhaoxi didn't dress up too grandly, he just put a hairpin on his head, and his clothes were loose and light, which seemed to be a bit of housekeeping.

Hearing the sound-transmitting stone's sleepy tone, Wen Zhaoxi smiled lowly. He pressed the rumor stone to his lips to coax a few words, and Xu Chaoqi slowly regained his strength. rent.

The door outside the door was knocked, Wen Zhaoxi washed his hands, walked to the door step by step calmly and opened the door.

Outside the door were all the guys sent by the shopkeeper to give gifts. They all knew that there was someone in Mr. Xu's house, but when the door was opened, they were still stunned.

The aura that hits the face instantly makes people sober and refreshed, as if they are ten years younger all of a sudden.

The guys raised their heads cautiously, their eyes were hazy, as if covered with a layer of fog.

They couldn't see who the person behind that was, but they could vaguely feel that this person had an extraordinary temperament, and he was afraid that he was not an ordinary monk.

"May I ask, but Mr. Xu's family?"

Wen Zhaoxi glanced lightly and nodded.

The guys were startled, explained their purpose, and moved the gifts to the courtyard in a hurry after getting permission.

The strong smell of food wafted over, but there was no one else in the house except the monk at the door.

The guys' hearts trembled, and they couldn't help guessing the relationship between the two.

Could it be... a Taoist companion?

The hearts of the guys jumped: this bearing and this figure are not a fuel-efficient lamp. If it is really a Taoist couple, Mr. Xu will suffer!
