"Madam, what brings you here? May I convey your message for you?"
Lin Zao pondered for a moment,
"Here's what we'll do: just say a child named Xiaobao came looking for him!"
The second brother glanced at the child in Lin Zao's arms and didn't say anything to refuse.
"Alright~ Madam, please wait a moment, I'll go and inform the manager right away."
No sooner had Xiao Er left than a middle-aged man rushed out from inside, ran up to Lin Zao, and looked at Xiao Bao.
He was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes, and it took him a long time to finally speak.
"Young Master! You're finally back! Master has been sending people everywhere to look for you these past few months, he was so worried! Where have you been?"
Xiao Bao glanced behind the middle-aged man, but didn't see the person he wanted to see. He snorted, turned his head away, and ignored the middle-aged man.
Lin Zao was finally relieved to see that they knew each other.
She put Xiaobao on the ground, squatted down, and looked into Xiaobao's eyes.
"Once Auntie finds a place to live, I'll come and take you to visit us, okay? We'll see each other again soon, don't be angry anymore?"
"Then Auntie, you'd better come find me quickly, okay? You're not allowed to lie to me!"
Xiao Bao actually stretched out his little finger to make a pinky promise with Lin Zao.
Lin Zao, both amused and exasperated, made a pinky promise with him, watching as the middle-aged man carefully picked up Xiao Bao.
"Thank you so much, madam, for bringing our young master back! We will definitely pay you a visit to express our gratitude once you have settled him in!"
"You're too kind, sir. Your son was kidnapped by bandits and taken to Luolin City. I rescued him by chance. My family and I were also on our way to Ganzhou to look for someone, so we just happened to be passing by."
When the middle-aged man heard that they had come from Luolin, he was immediately filled with lingering fear. Fortunately, the young master was lucky to have met this lady. He couldn't even imagine what would have happened if something had gone wrong.
“Madam has just arrived in Ganzhou and must be looking for a house. I know a broker, and I will have someone take Madam there so that she won’t have to ask around.”
Before Lin Zao could speak, he directly called out to the waiter behind him.
"Xiao Wu, take this lady to the money broker and have him properly introduce her to the man. Don't be negligent, understand?"
"Don't worry, shopkeeper, I guarantee I'll complete your task!"
After speaking, he looked respectfully at Lin Zao.
"Madam, please go first."
Seeing this, Lin Zao couldn't refuse anymore, so she said goodbye to Xiao Bao and took Xiao Er Ge out to find Tang's mother and the others.
When the group met the money broker, he quickly showed them several houses.
By the time the lease agreement was signed, it was almost lunchtime.
Having completed his task, the waiter took the reward given by Lin Zao and bid farewell to the money broker.
Lin Zao and his group felt a sense of peace and stability as they stayed in the courtyard of their newly rented house.
The broker must have been showing them several nice houses because of the shopkeeper's influence, especially this one, which suited their tastes the best.
Located in Ping'an Alley in the west of the city, this three-courtyard siheyuan (traditional courtyard house) is situated on the outskirts of the alley, making it easily accessible.
Most importantly, the surrounding environment is quiet, and the residents are mostly middle-class families, so there is no large crowd and the area is relatively safe.
There is a grapevine in the yard, with vines covering the trellis and the vines already full of flowers. I think in a few months we will be able to eat sweet and sour grapes.
There's also a pond in the backyard, which is a nice spot for fishing in your free time.
Lin Zao had a lot of silver on hand, plus the 100 taels of silver notes that the prefect of Luolin had given her as a thank-you gift, so she was not short of money at all. Therefore, as soon as she saw the house she liked, she immediately signed the contract.
If she were to settle in Ganzhou in the future, she would definitely try to buy this house.
After settling Tang's mother and the two children in, Lin Zao and Aunt Ren carried all the things from the mule cart into the house.
The house was very clean, and it had all the necessary furniture, so they didn't need to furnish it.
