Chapter 114 Buying a House

An Xin had some guesses in his mind as to who did it, but it was also possible that someone else was involved.

Regardless of whether Xiao Wenjin wanted to eliminate Li Ziyu, who posed the greatest threat to him in the imperial examination, because he was the son of the prime minister, An Xin could not touch him openly now.

Time flies, An Xin and his friends have been in Beijing for more than half a year.

I thought that staying at Doctor Su's place wouldn't be a long-term thing.

So after An Xin found out that the small three-story courtyard given to her by Duke Cheng'en's Mansion was worth more than 20,000 taels of silver, she suppressed her grief and sent someone to deliver a box full of banknotes to Jiang Xuan, the head of the Cheng'en Mansion.

When Jiang Xuan was handling things in the study, he heard the servant report that the young master's teacher had sent someone to ask for a meeting. Jiang Xuan paused and ordered the servant to bring him in.

The servant of Duke Cheng'en's mansion led Qingfeng and his companions Dazhuang and Xiaomai out of the study and looked at them.

Qingfeng understood that this was to let someone go in and answer the question.

As an internal steward beside An Xin, Qingfeng's abilities are recognized by his master.

Qingfeng calmly told Dazhuang and Xiaomai to wait outside. She carried a box full of banknotes and followed the servants of Cheng'en Mansion to the study.

Watching Qingfeng's work style from the study window, Jiang Xuan smiled on his beautiful face. Thinking of the woman who did things calmly, he murmured softly:

"It seems that the maidservant beside her has really learned her master's style of doing things."

"Knock knock," the sound of knocking on the door.

Then the servant reported: "Third Master, the person has been brought here."

"Bring it in."

Qingfeng lowered his head slightly, walked in and saluted Jiang Xuan who was sitting behind the desk.

Jiang Xuan then asked, "Why did your master send you here?"

Qingfeng handed over the box that she had been holding tightly in her arms all the way, "This master has instructed me to give it to Master Jiang San."

Jiang Xuan glanced at Fugui, the servant next to him.

Fugui walked over, took the box, and respectfully presented it to his master.

Jiang Xuan opened it and saw a thick stack of banknotes inside. His long and narrow eyes narrowed slightly, and his thin lips smiled. He said jokingly, "Your mistress has too much money to store it all, so she wants me to keep it for her."

Qingfeng's mouth twitched. She saw the heart-wrenching look on her master's face when he took out these banknotes.

How could he be willing to give the banknotes to others for safekeeping? I can only say that Mr. Jiang San was overthinking.

"The master said that this is the money to buy the house in Liuxiang. Please accept it, Mr. Jiang San."

With a "dong" sound, the wooden box was placed on the large rosewood desk.

Qingfeng saw from the corner of his eye that Jiang Xuan lowered his eyes slightly, pursed his lips, and seemed a little unhappy.

She paused for a moment, but she had to complete her master's instructions.

Qingfeng took out a house deed. Seeing Jiang Xuan's face darken, he mustered up his courage and said, "My master said that if Mr. Jiang San is unwilling to accept the banknote, he should let me leave the house deed behind."

Jiang Xuan raised his eyes and smiled, "Go back and tell them that I accepted the banknote."

"Yes!" Qingfeng bowed and retreated. When he came out, he found that his back was wet with sweat. "This Third Master Jiang has a really scary aura."

Jiang Xuan looked at the banknotes in the box and smiled, "She is really a cautious girl."

When An Xin learned that Jiang Xuan had accepted the banknote, he no longer felt sorry for the money.

Everyone knows that the houses in the capital city where officials live are extremely expensive.

Even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it.

Since it was the house he bought with his own money, An Xin felt at ease sending Da Zhuang to repair and tidy up what needed to be repaired and cleaned up.

We will move there after Li Ziyu, An Rui and others finish their college entrance examination.

Qingfeng Mingyue and Dazhuang Xiaomai were also very happy. Living in someone else's house would always cause inconveniences, unlike living in one's own home, which would make one feel at ease.

An Xin didn't have to worry about repairing and tidying up the house. The lively and cheerful Mingyue felt somewhat restrained in the Su residence.

Now that the master has her own house, and she is urging Dazhuang, the renovation of the house cannot be delayed.

When General Liu and Doctor Su learned that An Xin had spent money to buy the house in Duke Cheng'en's mansion, they began to feel puzzled.

Why did they have to spend money to buy her a gift for becoming her apprentice? However, the two elders soon figured it out.

A house you get for free is never as safe as one you buy with your own money. Even if something happens in the future, that house will have nothing to do with the Jiang family.

Plans cannot keep up with changes.

An Xin originally didn't want to distract Li Ziyu and others before they took the imperial examination, so he planned to move to the house in Liuxiang after the examination.

But fast forward to the first day of February, a middle-aged woman dressed in gold and silver came to the house where Doctor Su lived, and she brought with her an ordinary-looking girl in her twenties.

After coming in, he went directly to the study room where Li Ziyu and other six people studied every day.

He pointed at them shamelessly and said to the girl following behind him, "They are all candidates who will take part in the imperial examination this year, and your grandfather took them in.

Yue'er can tell her mother who she likes and ask her grandfather to decide for you whether to marry him or not.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

If they weren't afraid that they would become independent after passing the exam, your mother and your father would have discussed it with you to see which one of them had a better future and decide who you would marry."

When An Xin received the notice and rushed to the study, he saw that if it weren't for the calm Leng Xiangbai and Zhu Shijing holding them back, Jiang Zhou, Liu Boxing and An Rui would have been so angry that they were about to fight with the mother and daughter.

The imperial examination was about to begin, and even if An Xin had nothing to do, he would not easily disturb them.

Now seeing the six people’s faces all dark with anger, An Xin’s eyes also turned cold.

Looking at the servant of the Su family who brought the mother and daughter here.

The servant could not stand An Xin's gaze and said tremblingly, "They...they are the old master's daughter-in-law and granddaughter. I brought them here just because you told me to."

An Xin knew the identities of the mother and daughter and did not embarrass the maid. After all, seriously speaking, they were just guests staying here and the mother and daughter were the hosts.

It is a servant's duty to obey the orders of his master.

For the sake of Mr. Su, An Xin tolerated their disturbance to his six students.

But An Xin didn't want to care about it.

Madam Su looked at her with contempt and said disdainfully, "You are the shameless female headmistress who followed students to take the exam.

He doesn't look that good, but how can he be so shameless? Is he trying to do a teacher-student drama like in the storybooks..."

"shut up"

"shut up"

"shut up"

Several angry voices rang out in the courtyard at the same time.

“Bang!”

Mrs. Su covered her slapped cheek and looked at the old man who slapped her in disbelief.

"Father-in-law, you...you actually hit your daughter-in-law."

"Grandfather, why did you hit my mother? What did she do wrong?"

"Ahem!" Doctor Su's chest heaved with anger. "You two, you idiots who don't know respect and etiquette, get out of here!"

In the past two days, the rewards and votes from my dear friends have been flying all over the place. Should I have a change of heart and add another chapter?

After a careful look, I found some, but not much!!!
