Before noon, Wang Yi, led by the city manager, visited the five selected houses.
Three of the houses are still occupied and rented out. Two of them have just been vacated and can be moved in at any time.
In the end, Wang Yi chose a smaller courtyard house located further in the inner city. Of the five houses, it was neither the worst nor the best, just right.
This is a quadrangle courtyard, located near the market, only one acre in size. There is a big locust tree in the middle of the courtyard and a well.
The rest of the floor is paved with stone slabs without any extra decoration.
There were plenty of rooms, and after calculation, it was clear that Wang Yi's entire family could live there. The yard was spacious and bright, without any bushes or gardens, which was just right for Wang Yi.
She was lazy and already had a large farm outside the city. She didn't want to grow flowers and plants in the city. Gardening work would not add any points to her and would only attract mosquitoes.
On the street more than 300 meters away, there is another shop that also belongs to the city lord.
It's not big, just two floors, and each floor is only about 100 square meters. It is empty now. It used to be a shop selling rouge and powder. Because the owner was afraid of trouble caused by the refugees, he moved to Guangji City further north.
Wang Yi immediately decided: "Let's go with these two. I think they're just right."
The butler waved his hands repeatedly: "That's impossible. The city lord said that at least half of them must be chosen. There are only two places here, so please choose more."
“…”
There are also those who complain that I collect too little.
But Wang Yi had a plan in mind. She wouldn't be in the city for long, so having a place to stay would be enough.
"Please thank the city lord for me. There's really no need. Once the prince takes over Shengyun City, that will be my main destination." Wang Yi had to bring up Zheng Yeheng. His identity was more useful at this time.
As expected, the housekeeper stopped trying to persuade him, but instead smiled playfully: "The prince is truly kind to you. This old servant is almost moved to tears."
Glaucoma, cataracts, tears in broad daylight?
Wang Yi suppressed his anger and gave a friendly smile.
The housekeeper thought: Why does it feel like Mr. Wang Yi wants to eat me?
I didn't know that Wang Yi had secretly recorded my thoughts in her little notebook.
The procedure for transferring the ownership of the city lord's house was quite simple. The housekeeper said that after signing and sealing the title deed, he would be able to deliver the new title deed to her in the afternoon.
Wang Yi was naturally happy to have some free time.
"This house is yours now. Do you need me to send some maids to clean it up?"
"No, thank you for your help. We can do it ourselves."
Wang Yi's eyes lit up as she looked at the house. It was not until the housekeeper handed her the key that she truly felt the wealth of this family.
She, in ancient times, had a house!
The farm is still under construction, but she has actually bought a house in the city!
When Wang Yi thought of this, he had an urge to call all his sons over to take a look, but he quickly suppressed it.
It's fine for them to stay on the farm for now; if they jump too far, they'll easily forget their roots. Farming on Fulu Farm for a few years wouldn't be a bad idea.
After the housekeeper left, Wang Yi locked the door from the inside and walked around the house again.
In fact, the housekeeper had already accompanied her to look around every room. The house had new tiles and green bricks, and it was obvious that it had been rebuilt not long ago. Although the furniture in the house had been moved out, it did not prevent it from being a good house.
Just add some simple furniture, and the windows will be clean, bright and spacious!
In ancient times, a house of one acre was considered small, but in Wang Yi's opinion, this is a courtyard house of about 700 square meters!
This was definitely a sum she could never earn back even if she worked all her life in her previous life. Even though she had become a senior executive, this small courtyard house of 700 square meters was not something she could get her hands on.
After walking down the alley to the street, Wang Yi did not go into the rouge and powder shop.
There is no use for it for now, so lock it first.
The Qingyun Inn she booked yesterday was just across from the gouache shop. At the east end of this market street was Ping Shizhi's medical clinic, and at the west end was Zhao Wu's blacksmith shop.
Qingdong City is not big, and most of the business places are concentrated. From now on, when she goes into the city, she can just walk everywhere and save the trouble of taking a car.
When we got back to the inn, it was already lunch time.
Sure enough, the two girls were waiting for her in the inn room.
Silly Sister was holding glutinous rice cake in her left hand and candied haws in her right hand, eating them one by one. Wang Yi was stunned by her posture as soon as he entered the door.
"Be careful not to choke."
Silly Sister quickly swallowed the food in her mouth and giggled.
"Auntie, you're back!"
Lan Miao stood up happily from the tea table. There was a small piece of cloth sample in front of her and she was choosing among them.
"What did you buy?"
"I didn't buy anything. I just looked at these scraps of cloth. I wanted to try embroidery." Lan Miao blushed as she said this. Embroidery was something that only ladies from wealthy families learned. She had always longed to do it, but had never done it because she didn't have the conditions.
Just this morning, after taking a walk around, she was envious of those exquisite handkerchiefs and patterns again.
Besides...it's time to start embroidering the wedding dress.
She has no father or mother, so she has to think for herself.
As she thought about it, Lan Miao blushed again and wanted to hide behind the gauze curtain out of embarrassment.
Wang Yi didn't think about these things, she just smiled and said: "Why are you shy? If you want to learn, just embroider. When the time comes--"
Before he could finish his words, there was a simultaneous dinging sound in Wang Yi's mind.
"Trigger a random quest: Embroider the Four Gentlemen: Plum, Orchid, Bamboo, and Chrysanthemum. Successfully embroider and unlock the Embroiderer professional skill. Rewards: Embroidery pattern for the Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains, and Torrential Pear Blossom Needle (Skill: Can shoot silver needles, never miss a target)."
The task seemed unremarkable at first, and Wang Yi didn't want to take it. But later on, the reward "Rain of Pear Blossom Needles" instantly struck Wang Yi's heart.
It's an attack skill!
You can still use the silver needle attack skill!
If she poisons the silver needle, wouldn't this skill of hitting the target every time make her a killer?
Wang Yi stuttered in the middle of his speech. Lan Miao was stunned and looked over in confusion.
She abruptly changed the subject and said, "...I'll learn with you then!"
Wang Yi gritted his teeth and said this, deeply despising this terrible system in his heart.
Is this forcing me to become a lady?
Isn't it good for me to earn some money to support my old age? Why do I have to be an embroiderer?
For the sake of the heavy rain of pear blossom needles, I endured it.
"Really?" Lan Miao was immediately surprised. She was not very good at embroidery. It would be great to have a companion if the old lady was willing to practice with her.
Silly Sister smacked her lips and got hit in the teeth by a hawthorn seed from a candied haws.
"The embroidery needle is so small, I can't lift it. It's more fun to play with the swords with those little chickens in the military camp."
If Zheng Yeheng knew that his elite soldiers were turned into chicks in Silly Sister's mouth, he would probably vomit blood and his blood pressure would surge to the top of his head.
"Okay, I'll find you an embroiderer later. I have other things to do today. Check out first, and then I'll take you to a nice place."
