Showing the right amount of joy and gratitude, Chen Xiao came out with a heavy pile of three hundred silver coins. The boss didn't invite him to dinner, he didn't have the qualifications. Chen Xiao didn't care about being looked down upon, the surprise was already big enough.

He was also a little excited. After all, these three hundred silver coins were the largest sum of money he had earned since he came to this world through his own efforts.

Although the amount of money that Han Wa received was also very large, it was earned with his life. Most of it was used to save lives, and a small part was exchanged for his current job. Chen Xiao did not feel much about it, and did not think that it belonged to him.

Master Zhou Wu sent Han Wa's private savings, which Chen Xiao also regarded as Han Wa's inheritance. He bought a jade pendant, arranged a Feng Shui pattern, and gave it back to You En and his uncle and aunt.

It had been a long time since Chen Xiao had experienced the surprise of suddenly getting a fortune.

After all, he was a Feng Shui master in his previous life, and many powerful people lined up to invite him to look at Feng Shui. Whether it was a grave or a house, he was paid a lot every time. He had long lost the joy of making money, and felt that money was just a number on a bank card.

I went to the bank happily and exchanged three hundred silver coins for three golden coins. Three hundred silver coins were not a small amount, not easy to carry, and not safe. It would be better to exchange them for gold coins, which would be easier to collect.

After having a good meal at the best restaurant in the county, Chen Xiao did not return to the Antique Street. He planned to use the remaining time to find a house so that he could move in directly when he had a day off.

Chen Xiao has always been willing to pay others to serve him. This saves time and effort, and can also avoid a lot of detours. So, he directly found a house owner, and it only took him half a day to find a place to live that satisfied him.

This place is east of the Taxue Xunxian Pavilion, two blocks away from the Antique Street. It only takes 25 minutes to walk to and from work every day. Chen Xiao chose it because most of the residents are from relatively well-off families and do not need to deal with complicated neighborhood relationships.

Also, because this is an old neighborhood, close to several important streets in the county town, the public security is relatively good. Once something happens, just shout and the patrol will come quickly.

Of course, the third and most important reason is that there is a lot of food and delicious food on the east side of Antique Street. He can eat on the way to and from work. This is the most important point for a bachelor who can't cook.

He signed a contract with the middleman, signed a pledge, and paid six months' rent and three months' deposit. He also asked the official who came to notarize and record the property to check the name plate and put it on file. This small courtyard with only a row of main houses facing north and south and a low kitchen next to the main houses temporarily belonged to Chen Xiao.

It was only at this moment that Chen Xiao found out that renting a house in the county town had to be reported to the county government.

The political system of Dai State is very interesting. It is a system of enfeoffment of city lords. The city lord family is often a family inherited from immortal cultivators. After obtaining the ruling power of a city, the king of Dai State will issue a royal decree to this family, announcing that the city is "enfeoffed" to this family.

This country does not have a system similar to the imperial examination system. The highest level of career advancement is to the city lord's mansion. The status of a clerk in the city lord's mansion is not even as high as that of a cultivator who is a vassal of the city lord's family. In this environment, the power of officials is much smaller. However, they are more dedicated to their duties, and the management system is also quite comprehensive.

There were old furniture left by the previous tenants in the house. Chen Xiao thought it was too old and creaked. He asked the tenants who had not left to move the furniture away. The tenants were very happy to help him because Chen Xiao said the furniture could be given to the people who moved the furniture. Who doesn't have a few poor relatives? This was a big favor.

After a burst of dust and smoke, the house was emptied. Looking at the dust floating in the air, Chen Xiao took a deep breath and rolled up his sleeves. He borrowed a basin and a rag from his neighbor, fetched water from the well on the street, and cleaned the house inside and out.

After cleaning, it was completely dark. Chen Xiao checked the time, locked the door, and had dinner on the way back to the store.

A few days later, it was Chen Xiao's turn to rest. Early in the morning, he went to an inconspicuous store at the end of the street to look at furniture.

People who often visit the Antique Street know that there are several shops that sell old furniture. Although the furniture sold in this shop is second-hand or even has been resold several times, they are all genuine and good things, no worse than those new furniture. On the contrary, because of their age, they have a patina and have a historical charm. Some collectors who like old items can often find surprises here.

Chen Xiao was not here to collect things for fun. What he needed was just a complete set of furniture that was in good condition and made of medium-quality materials. He had called the boss in advance and asked him to help him find some. This time he came here to see what was going on.

After all, they were all on the same street, so the boss paid close attention to it. He used his own channels to get Chen Xiao the furniture he wanted.

This set of furniture is just enough for one main room and two side rooms. It is in good condition. Because it is a very easy-to-obtain wood in this world, the price is not expensive. The whole set costs only thirty silver coins, which is just Chen Xiao's twenty-day wages.

"Take a look, do you like it?" The boss held a long pipe in his mouth and puffed out smoke. "Although this set of furniture is made of yellow wood, the workmanship is exquisite."

The yellow wood the boss mentioned is actually spruce, a tree that grows commonly in northern areas with large temperature differences. Daiguo has abundant timber resources, which makes the yellow wood used as the mainstream very cheap. A spruce tree that is as thick as a man's arms only sells for eight or nine hundred copper coins. So, the boss is very honest. The wood is not valuable, but the workmanship is valuable.

This set of furniture has very exquisite and detailed wood carvings. Chen Xiao looked carefully and found that it was actually a wood carving of people, animals, landscapes and other scenes. The picture was vivid and lifelike. This was also rare in the previous life, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was an artistic treasure.

The boss explained everything to Chen Xiao, telling him what the wood carvings on the wardrobe were called, what story the bed frame told, and even the matching tables and chairs were carved with different kinds of animals.

Chen Xiao listened carefully. These stories and animals were something he could not learn from the shopkeeper. They also introduced the appearance of this world from a side perspective.

Chen Xiao discovered that some of the animals the boss mentioned were the same as in his previous life, such as cows, sheep, chickens, horses, etc. Some were completely different, such as the spotted leopard-tiger beast that killed the fool.

The first time Master Zhou Wu came to visit him, Chen Xiao used the excuse that he didn't remember what happened before and asked about how Hanwa got seriously injured.

The caravan was unlucky that time and encountered a beast disaster. In this world, some beasts are extremely ferocious. However, those beasts live in places where few people go. The beasts that appear and move around in places where ordinary people live are one level weaker.

Fierce beasts and fierce beasts have their own different habits and living habits, but they are similar in one point. They are not easy to mess with during the estrus period and the period of raising cubs. Fierce beasts and fierce beasts often become angry and violent during this period, and run to human territory to kill people. This unfortunate disaster is a beast disaster.

By the way, it was the beast disaster that caused the Chen family to flee. A beast lost its cub and somehow ran to the place where the Chen family used to live, and half of the people in the county suffered. In the end, it was a cultivator who drove the beast away. Because the beast did not die, the Chen family and other people who fled did not dare to go back and could only settle down in a foreign land.

The beast that Silly Boy encountered was a beast in heat, and it had failed in its courtship. You can imagine how bad its mood was and how unlucky the caravan was.

Chen Xiao was very satisfied with the furniture and paid on the spot. The boss asked the shop assistants to carry the furniture out of the back door and deliver it to Chen Xiao's home. Chen Xiao directed the assistants to arrange the furniture according to his requirements.

After giving the reward and sending the men away, Chen Xiao went to the street to hire a carriage and purchase other supplies, and that was it.

Chen Xiao was very low-key during this move, he did not make a fuss about it, nor did he invite guests. After all, he believed that this was just a temporary place to stay, not a real home, so it was not considered a housewarming.

After a busy day, Chen Xiao lay on the brand new, soft bed and was about to fall asleep comfortably, but was attacked by a sudden feeling of hunger.

Chen Xiao was startled, wondering if the same situation as before had happened again. After hesitating for just a moment, he was already too hungry to bear it.

Chen Xiao had to get up and take out the half roast chicken left over from dinner from the cupboard.

Although he didn't treat anyone that day, he ate well, with wine, vegetables, meat and chicken. Logically speaking, he shouldn't be so hungry. After quenching the hunger in his stomach, Chen Xiao climbed into bed with confusion and went to sleep.

The next day, the familiar three meals a day, take-out afternoon tea and midnight snacks returned. After three days, after confirming that there was no mistake, Chen Xiao started to act according to the previous reservation.

After the last Feng Shui layout was arranged, it took fourteen or fifteen days for him to eat a lot again. Chen Xiao planned to do an experiment to verify what kind of relationship existed between the Feng Shui layout and this kind of eating ability.

During his lunch break at noon, Chen Xiao invited a civil engineering master to come to his house with his apprentice to build a wall.

To be precise, Chen Xiao built a screen wall between the front door and the main room of his house.
