Chapter 480 5 Entering the House
Chapter 480 5 Entering the House
Lin Dayong felt very distressed when he saw the bloody red spots on Cao's lips and her trembling body. He held her hand tightly and stayed by her side silently.
"Sister, don't be upset. The kids that Lin Xi brought up are so powerful. This time we came to the capital, we have to take revenge on our grievances and revenge on our enemies. Let you vent your anger. Relax and don't make yourself sick. If you are really upset, just cry, or shout a few times, or throw a tantrum. Anyway, don't hold it in."
The hemp-seeded mother couldn't bear to see Cao's suppressed and aggrieved look, so she pulled her other hand, patted it gently, and whispered.
On the way here, she noticed that Cao was forcing a smile, but she was not really that uncomfortable, so she pretended not to know and kept talking to her to cheer her up.
Now seeing her staring at the door plaque of the general's mansion with such a painful look, he was afraid that she would get herself hurt before taking revenge, so he spoke to her directly.
"Ma'am, come, smell this, you will feel much better!"
Baizhi's wife took out a small porcelain bottle from her bosom, unplugged it, placed the bottle under Cao's nose, and fanned it gently with her hand.
This contains medicine that soothes the liver, calms the mind, and refreshes the brain. It was developed overnight by her father-in-law Bai Ji after he learned about his master's mother's past and that they were going to Beijing for revenge. He was afraid that Cao would lose control of her emotions and hurt herself when she saw old friends or former enemies in Beijing.
Cao took a few deep breaths and felt much better. The stuffy feeling in his chest was no longer there, and his head was no longer numb. He felt much clearer and slowly broke away from the memories of the past.
"It made everyone worried."
Cao came back to her senses and saw that the three people in the car were looking at her with concern, so she raised the corners of her mouth and said apologetically.
Seeing that she was much better, Lin Dayong and the other two relaxed.
Several people began to talk about what they had seen and heard along the way, and the atmosphere in the car gradually became pleasant and relaxed.
Not long after, they arrived in front of the house that Jun Moyue gave to Lin Xi. Everyone got off the carriage and stopped to observe.
This house is located on a street behind those streets of famous aristocrats. It is very quiet, the gate is not conspicuous, and it is very convenient to enter and exit. Lin Xi is very satisfied.
Seeing that the door was not locked, she guessed that there might be someone inside who was guarding the house. When she was about to go forward and knock on the door, it creaked open.
"Miss Lin is here. I am Han Yu, the housekeeper assigned by the master to this courtyard. Please come in quickly!"
A strong and energetic middle-aged man opened the door. When he saw Lin Xi and others, he was stunned at first. After seeing Lin Xi's face clearly, he bowed to Lin Xi very respectfully and invited her in.
"Thank you, Butler Han, for leading the way."
Lin Xi nodded, clasped his fists towards him, motioned for everyone to follow, and walked into the yard first.
A few servants were very tactful and stepped forward to take the reins from the Bai family. After Lin Xi and his party entered, they led the carriage in, put the horses in the stable, and prepared fodder, water and other supplies. As for the carriage, they placed it neatly next to the stable and did not lift the curtain without Lin Xi's instructions.
"Miss Lin Xi, this courtyard has five courtyards, this side is..."
Butler Han walked beside Lin Xi, his back slightly bent, and raised his hand to introduce her to the general structure of the mansion. When he met maids and servants on the way, they all greeted Lin Xi very respectfully.
Lin Xi raised his eyebrows slightly, realizing that these people all had martial arts skills and were quite powerful.
"Miss Lin, everyone in this mansion is a death warrior. The master ordered us to let you command us. After setting up this courtyard, your portrait was shown to everyone, so they all know you. The master also said that if you are not used to being served, all of us will leave this courtyard and live in the courtyard next door. If you have any problems, you can go there to find us directly."
When Butler Han saw Lin Xi's gaze fall on the maidservant beside him, he explained with a smile.
"Thank you, Butler Han. I have a general understanding of this mansion. We are from a small place and are not used to being served. So I won't bother you, Butler. We can handle the rest ourselves."
Lin Xi and her group followed Butler Han around the mansion and returned to the front hall. She looked at Butler Han and spoke politely.
"Miss, you are too polite. In that case, I will take them and leave first."
Butler Han was very perceptive. He asked the maids and servants to quietly identify Lin Xi and the others, and then took them out of the house.
"Sister, they left and I closed the door."
Xiao An'er secretly followed Butler Han and others. After they left and entered the next yard, he locked the gate, flew back to the hall, winked at Lin Xi and said.
"Okay, sister knows."
Lin Xi touched his little head and said with a smile.
"Xi'er, I didn't expect this courtyard to look so ordinary from the outside, but it is so magnificent when you come in. It is much more magnificent than the general's mansion where mother lived when she was a child. The exquisite carvings, calligraphy and paintings on the doors, windows, beams, pillars, walls, etc. are all very valuable. And these vases are not ordinary items. They are too valuable. Should we stay here for a few days and find a new courtyard to live in?"
Cao looked at Lin Xi and said uneasily.
Damazi's mother was holding a vase and looking at it over and over again, marveling at how beautifully it was made. Upon hearing what Cao said, she quickly and carefully put the vase back, fearing that it would be broken.
"Mom, don't worry. Jun Moxie and I are in a cooperative relationship. Considering what I have done for him, the value of this courtyard is not worth mentioning. We are trading fairly, and I will not take what I shouldn't take."
Lin Xi smiled at Cao. She knew her mother was doing this for her own good, fearing that she would be restrained by others.
"Wife, since Xi'er said there's nothing to worry about, let's stay here and follow her arrangements."
Lin Dayong put his arm around Cao's shoulders and said with a smile.
After that, he asked Lin Xi, "Xi'er, how do you arrange the room?"
There were too many rooms in this five-story courtyard and they couldn't fill them all.
"I think the main courtyard is quite big. For the convenience of discussing things, we can all live in the main courtyard and choose our own rooms."
Lin Xi thought for a while and said.
Everyone readily agreed and walked towards the main courtyard, chatting and laughing. No one was particular about anything, so they just picked a room at random and took out bedding and other items from the boundary bead and started packing.
I think that Butler Han and others clean the room every day, and there is not a single speck of dust in the room. They just need to arrange the things they carry in the space rings.
"Daya, are you making lunch? Auntie will light the fire for you."
After Damazi's mother put her things in place, she came out of the room and saw Daya busy in the kitchen. She walked quickly towards the kitchen and smiled heartily.
"Sister Daya, I brought some fish. I'll chop it!"
When Yuanyuan heard the voice of Damazi's mother, she jumped out of the room, took out a fish from the space ring, and skipped to the kitchen.
"I'll make the pancakes!"
"I'll stew a chicken for everyone to eat, so that everyone can taste my cooking skills."
......
Hearing the noise in the yard, Cao and others came out of their rooms one by one. They gathered in the kitchen, chatting and laughing as they prepared lunch. It was as warm and lively as in the village.
If the powerful people in the capital saw this, they would say they were breaking the rules.
