Xiao Lingchen is known for his decisive and efficient work style.
The Xiao family had no property in Qingsi County, but after Xiao Lingchen gave the order, Xiao Shisan had arranged a garden villa near the school in just three hours.
Qingsi County is remote and ordinary, with very few wealthy people. This villa was created by the developer of this residential area as a gimmick. It's a pity that even though it was exquisitely decorated, it has been listed for several years without being sold.
Now that Xiao Shisan has come to talk, they couldn't wait to agree.
"It's a model room that's already been renovated. The style is different from what you like. We apologize for the inconvenience."
Xiao Lingchen had just finished grinding the ink, and several feet of Xuan paper were spread out on the desk. His hand, which was usually wielding a gun, was now holding a simple and unadorned brush, the tip of which spread across the paper.
"It's alright, we won't be staying here for long. How's the courtyard house in the capital that I asked you to renovate?"
"Everything has been arranged," Xiao Shisan said. "The decoration materials, furniture, and furnishings have all been selected to be the best. There is also a swimming pool and a huge basement inside. The house is decorated entirely with top-grade Thai wood. You can move in anytime when you return."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement again.
What courtyard... that's clearly a well-preserved former princess's residence!
Due to the passage of time, there are not many well-preserved former imperial mansions and courtyard houses in Beijing today, let alone those that can be bought and sold.
The princess's mansion is located on the north bank of Houhai Lake. The south side of the courtyard is adjacent to the lakeside road, and the main gate faces Houhai Lake. Next to it is the Prince Chun's mansion. The eldest son used a lot of connections to buy it. After adding the cost of renovation, the total cost soared to the double digits!
This is the first time that the ruthless and cold-blooded Young Master Xiao has ever spent so much money on "enjoyment"!
When the news spread, the entire capital city was shaken.
Xiao Shisan probed, "After you took over that courtyard, the whole capital was shaken. There were rumors that you were going to keep a mistress in a golden house. Many people came to me to inquire, and Madam and Miss Qingwan even kept asking if you wanted her to move into the house..."
Xiao Lingchen gave a short, cold laugh: "They think they're worthy?"
Xiao Shisan lowered his head sheepishly, not daring to utter a sound.
"Tell the people outside that this is my own house and they should stop spying. If they ask any more questions, just hang up and don't answer their calls."
"yes!"
Xiao Lingchen nodded and said, "Other renovations are fine, but there must be no residual pollutants in the materials. Bai Zhu's body is weak and she can't handle it."
Xiao Shisan was taken aback: "You...you want to take Miss Ji back?"
Isn't that the new house that the young master prepared for himself?!
Xiao Lingchen curled his lips into a smile, his gaze deep and unfathomable.
"Since they say I'm going to keep a mistress in a secluded house, I naturally have to make that a reality."
After speaking, he put down his pen, turned and left.
"Once this painting is completely dry, have someone frame it and hang it in Baishu's house."
Xiao Shisan was taken aback and subconsciously looked up at the table.
It was actually a traditional Chinese ink painting, depicting the ethereal Nine Heavens Palace amidst drifting clouds.
In the distance, a red sun could be faintly seen rising from the top of the Fusang tree in Tanggu. The golden crow soared into the sky, its radiance dazzling, looking down upon the primordial wilderness. Its wings were ablaze with fire, and it was incomparably magnificent.
Xiao Shisan was a little confused.
What... is this the young master deliberately showing off his painting skills in an attempt to win Miss Ji's admiration?
Tsk tsk tsk.
He only knew that some vulgar and superficial men would show off and flaunt their good looks in front of the girls they liked.
Little did they know, the young master was actually one of them!
Tsk, men!
However, there was one thing Xiao Shisan didn't understand.
As the young master, if he wanted to show off, it would be simpler and more eye-catching to place jade ornaments and antique decorations in Miss Ji's room.
Even subtly posting a picture of a young master shooting a gun would make him look even more handsome and cool, wouldn't it?
Why bother putting in the effort to paint a nonsensical picture?
