After entering the North City, Xu Ning planned to find an inn or a short-term rental yard to stay in according to his original plan, but he could not resist the constant nagging of Fang Wenhai and his wife, so he took them all to his mansion.
Fang Wenhai's house was built in a grand and luxurious manner. After entering the gate, there were countless courtyards of various sizes at a glance, and a long line of servants. Xu Ning felt that his eyes would hurt after recognizing all the people.
"Girl, these courtyards are uninhabited. You can live in whichever one you like!" Fang Wenhai spoke with a sense of heroism. Xu Ning put away the worthless amazement in her eyes and finally decided to give Fang Wenhai a chance to repay her kindness.
By the way, ahem, save some travel expenses.
After all, why make yourself suffer when you can enjoy yourself?
"Thank you very much, Mr. Fang!" Xu Ning expressed her sincere gratitude. She saw Fang Wenhai take a handful of banknotes from a middle-aged man who looked like a butler and then handed it to her.
"Miss, you are too polite. This is ten thousand taels. Please keep it." Xu Ning looked at the handful of banknotes handed over by Fang Wenhai, and swallowed unconsciously together with Xu Feng behind him.
Wow, ten thousand taels of silver notes, just like that?
The expressions on Liu Li and Pei Chen's faces did not change. They were very satisfied with Fang Wenhai's keeping his promise. They stood behind the siblings and did not say a word.
Xu Ning took the banknote, and the touch of the paper against his palm instantly made him feel at ease. It turned out that there was no comparison between real banknotes and points! Xu Ning suddenly missed the banknotes of the past.
Moreover, Fang Wenhai was very considerate. He gave not only large-denomination silver notes, but also small ones of one or ten taels.
"Mr. Fang, thank you very much!" Xu Ning took the stack of banknotes without counting them and stuffed them directly into his arms.
Fang Wenhai looked at Xu Ning's belly bulging with silver bills with some amusement, and wondered if he had given her copper coins and silver instead of silver bills, would she have stuffed them into her arms as well?
"Then I will not disturb the young lady's rest. If you need anything, just tell the servants." After saying that, Fang Wenhai left with his wife and some servants.
Fang Wenhai's housekeeper was still there. He took Xu Ning to find a quiet and elegant courtyard and arranged several maids to wait around.
"Young lady, you can always tell the maids if you need anything. They won't enter the courtyard without your permission." Xu Ning sighed at Fang Wenhai's excellent management at this moment, so she gave the housekeeper a sincere smile and said, "You can go ahead and do your work. We don't need anyone to wait on us. Just bring us some food and hot water."
"Oh, and if there's anything we should pay attention to, you can tell us. We won't go out tonight." Xu Ning added. After all, Fang Wenhai is from a wealthy family, so there must be some taboos.
"You can rest assured that you can stay here. Our master and mistress rarely let friends stay overnight." In other words, apart from Fang Wenhai and his wife, the Fang family's servants, and them, there was no one else here.
Xu Ning also remembered that when Fang Wenhai first entered the door, he said that no one lived in the yard. It seemed that this was what he meant.
"Okay, thank you, Butler Fang. This is a specialty of our village. I'll give you some to try. If you like it, come and get more from us." Xu Ning generously gave him two kilograms of salted fish brought from the Salted Fish Village. Seeing that Butler Fang accepted it without any disgust on his face, he felt even better.
Late at night, after eating and washing, Xu Ning lay on the step-out bed which was several times bigger than her, enjoying the massage and hair wringing by the maids comfortably.
The maids' movements were very natural, and Xu Ning also felt drowsy in this comfort.
"Player, something happened." Suddenly a mechanical voice sounded in his mind, scaring away Xu Ning's sleepiness.
"What's wrong? What happened?" Xu Ning's first thought was whether Pei Jiao had been discovered.
"Fang Wenhai was taken away by soldiers!"
