Chapter 867 No Antiques

Lian Lifan's face was gloomy. He had originally planned to go into the North Courtyard with Lin Yuxiu, claiming that he was worried and wanted to go with her to familiarize himself with the environment first.

After Li Guangjun's analysis, he realized he couldn't just follow Lin Yuxiu directly.

Lian Lifan watched Zhao Yun'er's excited figure running south, gritted his teeth and said, "You go first, I'll come find you later."

After saying that, he left without waiting for Lin Yuxiu's reaction, his face grim.

Lin Yuxiu stood there, looking lost. After all, she was just an ordinary person with little filming experience and wasn't used to facing the camera alone.

In the first two episodes, when she filmed with Lian Lifan, the camera basically focused on Lian Lifan. Now that the two are separated, some of the camera follows Lian Lifan, while the other camera follows her.

Lin Yuxiu stood there dumbfounded for a while before snapping out of her daze and following in the direction Ye Wanxi and the others had left.

Ye Wanxi and her companion had already arrived at the courtyard assigned to them. It was a small, independent courtyard, covering an area of ​​about fifty or sixty square meters, with carved beams and painted rafters, square bricks and flying eaves, looking simple yet exquisite.

The wooden door, carved with flowers and birds, is inlaid with glass, allowing sunlight to stream into the bright and clean room.

As soon as Ye Wanxi and her companion pushed open the door and entered, they saw an antique-style round pear wood table. To the right was a small study with a desk and table, and to the left, further in, was an embroidered screen with beautiful landscape paintings.

Behind the screen was a canopy bed with carved details and a dressing table inlaid with a bronze mirror and decorated with many bottles and jars.

There weren't many large items in the room, and it looked rather empty overall.

Among them, the most eye-catching is the Western-style wall clock placed in the corner.

Ye Wanxi glanced around and said thoughtfully, "It seems that this second young master and second mistress are quite elegant and simple, not like extravagant people."

Feng Tianyu smiled but remained silent, clearly not giving her any hints.

Ye Wanxi didn't mind. She walked around the room and asked the question that the viewers in the live broadcast room were most concerned about.

"Could you help me check if there are any antiques in this house?"

Feng Tianyu looked at her with a half-smile: "Worried about accidentally breaking it? Can't afford to pay for it?"

The viewers in the live stream joined in the commotion.

[Boss Feng, the big spender: With me here, are you still worried about not being able to afford the compensation?]

[Hahaha, Mr. Feng's expression seems to say, "Honey, you probably know nothing about your husband's wealth."]

Ye Wanxi, her thoughts exposed, glared at him and tried to salvage the situation, saying, "It's not a matter of whether we can afford to pay for it. After all, it's an old item, priceless and hard to find. Besides, this is someone else's house. Old items that have survived to this day are probably cherished possessions of their owners. It would be so embarrassing if we accidentally broke them."

Feng Tianyu seemed to accept her statement, and nodded with a faint smile: "It's alright, we don't have any antiques in this house."

"No?" Ye Wanxi looked surprised, but she also knew that her senior brother would not lie to her. She breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, she couldn't help but think more about it.

Could it be that this Master Yang is not very favored at home, and there isn't even a single valuable antique in his house?

Before Ye Wanxi could even begin to imagine, Feng Tianyu lowered his voice and added, "Most of the antiques are next door."

"Next door?" Their next door is the courtyard of Nie Yuyang and his family.

Judging from this, it seems that the eldest son's branch of the Yang family is the most respected.

Feng Tianyu said this while avoiding the camera, and the viewers in the live broadcast room only saw the two whispering to each other with their heads close together, which immediately caused some dissatisfaction.

What are they whispering about? Why are they hiding it from us?

[Hmph, I've already signed up for the highest tier membership, what can't I know? Cameraman, get the camera closer and film me!]

[So what if you have a membership? This is the show's big sponsor! Aren't you just making things difficult for the cameraman? Although I'm also curious to know what they said, let's call on the lip-reading experts! With so many skills learned, when else can we not use them?!]

Ye Wanxi was unaware that their whispers had caused quite a commotion in the live stream. After confirming that there were no antiques in the room, she became much bolder.

First she went around to the dressing table, then she went to the small study to look for something, and sure enough, she actually found two things.

"This is... a menu? No, it looks like an account book, the restaurant's account book."

Ye Wanxi flipped through the ledger on the dressing table, her eyes flickering slightly as she looked at the prices of various dishes marked inside.

“And this too.” Feng Tianyu twirled the slightly heavy cloth bag in his hand.

Ye Wanxi immediately recognized what the small cloth bag was for, but she didn't reveal it right away. She picked up the bag, squeezed it, and said meaningfully, "This bag is quite interesting. I wonder where it's used as padding."

As soon as they finished speaking, the two exchanged a smile, already having a pretty good idea of ​​what was going on.

Just then, a middle-aged man dressed in a light blue Tang suit walked in from outside, accompanied by several young men and a few pretty girls.

"Second Master, Second Madam."

"Who are you……"

"I forgot to introduce myself. I am the steward of this Yang family. Second Madam, you can just call me Old Wang."

Ye Wanxi turned to look at Feng Tianyu questioningly, and Feng Tianyu whispered a reminder: "It was arranged by the production team."

Got it, the production team arranged for me to follow the storyline.

Realizing this, Ye Wanxi immediately got into character: "Did you come here at this time because of something?"

"It's like this, I noticed it's already lunchtime, but the Second Master and Second Madam haven't served the meal yet, so I came to ask."

Upon hearing the butler's words, Ye Wanxi's eyes brightened slightly.

Wow, this is really different once you move into a big house. You don't even have to cook for yourself anymore.

"Since it's time, let's serve the meal."

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away. Should the lunch for the other courtyards be sent out as well?"

Ye Wanxi was slightly taken aback, thinking to herself, what does the lunch in the other courtyards have to do with her?

Then she remembered the account book on the dressing table and suddenly realized something: "Pass it down together, they must be hungry."

"Okay, I'll have someone send it to them right away."

Old Wang said that, but he didn't leave immediately.

Ye Wanxi frowned and asked, "Is there anything else?"

"The First Madam said that some good fabrics had just arrived at the embroidery shop, and she instructed her embroiderers to make clothes for the Second Master, the Second Madam, and the young ladies of each courtyard."

As Lao Wang spoke, he stepped aside, revealing two sets of clothes with a distinct period style that the people behind him were holding.

"The clothes have been delivered to the Second Master and Second Madam. Take a look and see if you like them. If you do, you can change into them. Then have these maids help the Second Master and Second Madam with their washing and dressing. It will be easier for them to go and see the other ladies and young misses later."
