Chapter 131 The lady wants to see you...hehe...(1/2)

Lin Xiangzhi thought that Ji Que’s purchase of a house was just a matter of words, but this time she was wrong (see the mobile version again)

He really didn't expect that Ji Que would actually spend seven thousand taels of silver to buy a house with a river view.

And it's the kind that is vigorous and resolute.

Anyway, Ji Que felt that if the silver notes could be used as little as possible, it would be safer to exchange them for fixed assets.

No matter how awesome the rat is, do you have the guts to move his house away?

Even if the house falls down, as long as the location is still valuable, it won't be a big loss.

As a result, the young scholar Ji Que suddenly had two apartments in Tianren City, one of which was a river-view apartment in the "rich area".

The house had a small second floor. Sitting in front of the window, Ji Que could look out at the clear blue waves of the canal and the weeping willows on the shore.

It's not spring yet, but the shore is already crowded with tourists. Occasionally, a few boats carrying women with heavy makeup pass by, which always attracts people's attention.

These girls are wearing so little in this harsh weather.

I have to say that with this property, the way others look at him has changed.

When he lived in Linshui Lane, people probably only noticed that he was a handsome scholar, but when he lived in this house, he was a handsome and rich scholar.

It is not difficult to find a handsome scholar, but it is difficult to find a handsome, wealthy and young scholar.

Therefore, every time Ji Que went out, he always attracted people's attention from time to time. Several matchmakers even came to propose marriage in person, which made Ji Que very stressed.

If you receive too much attention, you are afraid of being missed by thieves.

In fact, the houses in this area are expensive. In addition to the beautiful scenery, there are also many police officers and guards patrolling the area. It can be said that the public security is good.

But someone like Ji Que, who is young, rich, and handsome, will inevitably be jealous.

Among them are thieves.

The reason why these thieves planned to steal Ji Que, apart from the fact that they really needed to make a living, was because of jealousy.

How come he, a poor scholar from out of town, handsome and rich, attracts the attention of all the girls, while they are also young and can only become thieves?

Do princes and generals like Xiang Ning have the guts?

They don't dare to steal from real princes, generals and ministers, but they still dare to steal from a poor scholar from out of town who has a lot of money.

The most important thing was that Ji Que's face made them feel itchy, as if they couldn't sleep well without stealing from him all day long, as if they were lovesick.

The thieves had already done a good job, and they knew that Ji Que often went out to restaurants in the evening, and there were no servants at home at that time, so it was the best time to attack.

As a result, two groups of thieves returned without success, and the latter group was blinded by lime sprinkled by a cat. Finally, they bumped into Ji Que who was just returning home, and were arrested and taken to the Yamen.

What made the arrested thief heartbroken was not that he was attacked by a cat and was caught because of it, but that he entered the house and searched for a long time, but he didn't find anything valuable.

In such a good location, the house looks so grand from the outside, but once inside, it feels like "a house with four walls".

The thief seriously doubted that those tables, chairs, stools, calligraphy and paintings that didn't look like much were valuable items such as antiques.

In this regard, a group of colleagues in front of him had something to say.

There were two people in the first group of thieves, and they almost chose the same day as the captured colleague.

However, these two people were lucky. One of the women in the family was in need of money, so she went to work one day early. Lin Xiangzhi happened to be away, so she was not arrested.

After the two of them entered Ji Que's yard, they also had some doubts about life. One of the thieves had the same idea as the arrested colleague, so the two of them stole a calligraphy and painting, a small chair and a few tea cups.

come out.

As a result, they were identified as antiques, but they were cheap goods. Especially the chair, it looked like it had been soaked in water.

Ji Que and Lin Xiangzhi returned from the Yamen.

This time, even Ji Que couldn't help but complain: "I didn't expect that someone would steal the calligraphy and painting I used to practice. Does this mean I have the potential to become a master?"

Lin Xiangzhi said with a look of disgust: "No, I'm just blind."

As a young lady from an aristocratic family, she still has a certain appreciation for calligraphy and painting.

Ji Que still couldn't help but sigh: "It's a pity that my teacups, which I'm used to drinking from, were stolen. Sure enough, I can't hide anything at home."

The police officers in the yamen also found it quite strange. After all, this statement sounded like Ji Que's home had been robbed more than once.

But they really manage this area very well. Not to mention ten years, at least five years, I haven't heard of any house in this area having a snitch.

And this scholar was robbed as soon as he moved here, and this was not the first time.

As a result, they had to increase patrols around Ji Que's house.

When Ji Que lamented that his home had been robbed, someone was looking for him in Linshui Lane on the other side.

The maid Luo Xin is looking for Ji Que for her young lady.

As soon as this year passed, Bai Lu, who was originally a homebody, wanted to leave home.

Bai Lu was so eager to return to Yunxue Sect that she seemed to have an inseparable relationship with Ji Que.

Bai Lingshuang felt that it was necessary to meet Ji Que first, so he sent Luo Xin.

Luo Xin stood in front of the house door and wandered around for a long time before she learned about Ji Que's new residence from the rent-seeking notice on the door.

On the way, he learned from the neighbors that Ji Que had bought a new house this year and even the furniture had been moved away, making them jealous and jealous.

When the maid Luo Xin stood by the clear canal, she felt similar to those of her neighbors, envy, jealousy, and hatred.

She thought she was a master by following the young lady, but after all she was just a maid, and she had also fantasized about a "retirement" life.

In that fantasy picture, there is a house like this, which makes people envious while watching the clouds rise and fall.

The houses in this area are always enviable.

Even she is still just thinking about it now, because she is a servant after all, and she doesn't have that much money.

But now, the scholar lives in such a house.

Did he use the money given by the lady?

But she vaguely remembered that the lady's four thousand taels of silver probably couldn't buy such a magnificent house.

For some reason, when she thought of Ji Que living in such a house, she felt not only jealous but also a little nervous.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! It seems that as long as the other person lives in such a house, she will not be able to despise him as before.

But soon, Luo Xin threw these thoughts out of her mind.

It's really ridiculous that she, a practitioner, would have such emotions in an ordinary person after making a small fortune.

In the future, she will be successful in her practice, but she will not have anything. These things are not yet available at her fingertips.

So, Luo Xin, who had adjusted her mood, rang the door knocker.

Not long after, Ji Que opened the door, a little confused.

After a while, he remembered that this was the maid who had fed him sesame seeds.

"Is something wrong?" Ji Que raised his eyebrows.

"My lady wants to see you, it's still noon at Chunfeng Tea House." Luo Xin said coldly.

She didn't know why, maybe it was because he was attacked by the other party and fed him sesame seed cakes, or maybe because the other party had the money to live in such a house, she felt that the young man in front of her was different from before, so the arrogance in his eyes disappeared.

Ji Que asked confused: "Is your young lady the second young lady?"

Luo Xin said hurriedly: "Of course it's the eldest lady."

Ji Que wondered again: "Is something wrong? If nothing happens, I don't think it's necessary."

Luo Xin was stunned for a moment because she didn't expect Ji Que to refuse.

She quickly reacted and said, "You don't have to act anymore. Isn't that why you went from Tianren City to work as a concierge in Yunxue Sect and deliberately approached the second lady?"

Ji Que frowned and said, "For what?"

At this time, seeing Ji Que still pretending to be stupid, Luo Xin couldn't help but get a little angry and said: "You know why, but I just want to remind you that if you overact, you won't be able to get off the stage. The lady is already waiting there. .”

It took Ji Que a while to come back to his senses and said, "So your lady asked me to go because of this."

Luo Xin frowned and said, "Then let's go."

"hehe."

He only heard these two words coming out of Ji Que's mouth, and then the house door slammed shut.

Luo Xin stood there, really disappointed and confused.

"Are you sure you want to do this?"

Luo Xin couldn't help but say something outside the door, and found that her voice was a little hoarse.

There was no response inside, and it was so quiet that it made people feel heartbroken.

Luo Xin did not expect this situation.

She thought that the scholar could act and might have to put on a show before going to the appointment, but now she was unceremoniously locked out.

She rejected not only herself, but also the lady.

She had clearly told him that the lady was waiting for him at Chunfeng Tower.
