Chapter 387 Buying Zhuangzi (3)

The courtyard of the house is filled with fruit trees such as crabapples, cherries, apricots, peaches, and pears. Although they are not as elegant as plum blossoms, orchids, bamboos, and chrysanthemums, in this pastoral courtyard, what could be more suitable than these down-to-earth fruit trees?

After seeing the house, Caiwei and Mu Zhongqing were very satisfied, so they negotiated the price with the original owner of the village. The owner was very talkative and gave up a full thousand taels in addition to the original eighteen thousand taels. Five hundred taels. In other words, the price of this manor is only sixteen thousand five hundred taels.

Caiwei took out a five hundred tael silver note as a deposit. After signing the document, the two parties agreed that the remaining price difference would be paid tomorrow, and then the other party would hand over the land deed, and the sale would be considered complete.

Jiang Zhongren was very satisfied with being able to take 1% of the sale and get 165 taels of silver, so he took Caiwei and her daughter back to the city with satisfaction.

Zhuangzi was more than 20 miles away from Caiwei's Bafu Restaurant. They came and went, plus the time they spent looking at houses and negotiating prices. By the time they returned to the city, it was already dark.

When the father and daughter returned to the restaurant, they saw that the business at home was still booming, the seats were still full, and there were people queuing outside the door.

Mu Zhongqing was overjoyed and hurriedly went to replace Chaoyun at the counter. Caiwei stopped him and said, "Dad, you have been busy all day. Go back early today. Chaoyun will take care of the shop." Not bad. "

Mu Zhongqing patted his daughter's hand and said, "Dad, you are not tired, but you are a girl. You have to wake up early and crawl around in the dark. Dad feels distressed when he sees it. Now that the shop is on track, dad is here to take care of it." Just stay here, you better go back and rest!"

After hearing this, Caiwei thought about it and nodded in agreement. In the past few days, she had been busy working in the restaurant every day. At night, she had to go out in the dark to help her grandmother with acupuncture. She was indeed a little tired. She I want to go back and take a nap in my own room first to recuperate my energy, and then ask the old turtle to come out to give my grandmother acupuncture at night.

Returning to Duke An Guo's Mansion, she quietly entered through the side door, intending to quietly return to the Changchun Garden where she lived without disturbing anyone.

However, when passing through the garden, he was stopped by a well-dressed maid. The maid walked up to Caiwei, bent down, and said respectfully: "This slave is Liuzhu, the personal maid of the eldest lady in the mansion. I have given you a special gift from the eldest lady." The young lady has ordered me to wait here for my cousin. The eldest lady said that if the cousin comes back, please condescend me to go to the eldest lady's 'Yilan Garden'. The eldest lady has something else to say to my cousin."

Caiwei was feeling sleepy and was in a hurry to go back and catch up on her sleep. How could she have time to see the eldest and second young ladies? So, he said unceremoniously: "Go back and tell your master that I have some important things to do today and I don't have time to see her. I will be free another day and go to your lady's house to apologize in person." "

Liuzhu was anxious and stepped forward to stop Caiwei. With a plop, she knelt down and begged: "Miss Cousin, I have been waiting here for you for two hours. My legs are sore from standing. Please just follow me over there." Come on, otherwise, the eldest lady will punish me for not being able to do things well, and I can't afford it!"

After saying that, Liuzhu kowtowed to Caiwei, making a loud banging sound. Without even looking, he knew that this girl's forehead must have been damaged.

Appearance is the most important thing in a daughter's family, but this girl kowtows desperately just for such a trivial matter. It can be seen that the eldest lady is extremely strict with her subordinates.

After all, Caiwei was not a hard-hearted person. When she saw the girl kowtowing endlessly, as if she was going to kill herself if she refused to go, she sighed and said, "That's it, you get up, I'll follow." Just take a walk!"

Liuzhu was overjoyed after hearing this and thanked her repeatedly: "Thank you, Miss Biao, for helping me. Thank you, Miss Biao..."

At this moment, her forehead was already bruised, and the skin was broken in some places. Caiwei saw it, took out a small bottle of ointment from her arms, handed it over, and said: "Take this ointment back and rub it on it, morning and evening." Wipe it once, your daughter's appearance is the most important. From now on, don't abuse yourself easily for unworthy things, let alone make fun of your own appearance, remember?"

Liuzhu held the medicine bottle handed over by Caiwei and looked at Caiwei in surprise, as if she didn't believe she would treat her like this.

She is just a slave. In the words of the eldest lady, she is just a wheezing thing raised in Anguo Duke's mansion. If she doesn't do things well, she can be killed at any time. The cousin is the master, how can she treat her like this? good?

"Did you hear that?"

Seeing that she was stunned, Caiwei asked again.

Liu Zhu woke up from a dream, came to her senses, nodded heavily and said: "I have taken note of this. Thank you very much, cousin. Cousin is a good person. I am really lucky to be able to follow your maid..."

Caiwei said calmly: "Just say this in front of me. Don't say it again in the future, and don't let your master know about it. Be careful of getting yourself into trouble. It's getting late, let's go!"

Liuzhu bit her lip, looked deeply at Caiwei, and nodded: "Yeah"! He held a lantern in front and led Caiwei to Du Wanqiu's "Yilan Garden".

Yilan Garden is located on the east side of the Anguo Palace. Because the people living on the east side are the legitimate sons and daughters of the Anguo Palace, and their status is noble, the landscape on the east side is much more beautiful than the west courtyard where they live. !

Caiwei walked behind Liuzhu. As she walked, she looked at the scenery of the east courtyard. Just as she was fascinated by the sight, someone suddenly appeared across from her.
