"This is a two-entry courtyard. Although it is not big, the procedure is simple, there are no complications, and the price is very reasonable, so I bought it. You can come in and see how it goes. If it's OK.
, we will live here from now on.”
Gong Yu took Zhou Chen into a two-entry house. Zhou Chen told her last time that he wanted to buy a house, so she got interested and has been asking about it these days.
I finally found this house because, although it is not big, it is in the inner city, close to the palace, and not far from Miaoyinfang.
In fact, it's not that she couldn't buy a better and bigger house, but those big mansions were either far away or had various problems. She knew that Zhou Chen was afraid of trouble, so she didn't consider it and finally chose this house.
The second entrance to the mansion.
This house is very new and you can live in it once you buy it. Gong Yu was so considerate that he already bought two maids, a housekeeper and a cook.
None of these servants are from the Jiangzuo League, they were specially told by Zhou Chen.
A few days later, Zhou Chen's injury was almost healed, but during this period he still pretended to be in bad condition and basically didn't show up in front of others.
"Thank you for your hard work, Gong Yu."
Speaking of which, it has been more than ten years since he came to this world, and this is his first real estate. In the past, he either stayed in Langya Mountain, went to Jiangzuo League, or traveled around the rivers and lakes. He really didn't live in this world.
I bought my own house.
I didn't expect that my first real estate in this world would be in Jinling City.
Gong Yu smiled: "As long as the young master is satisfied."
As soon as they entered the courtyard, the servants gathered around them.
"Sir, madam."
The housekeeper took the lead, and everyone saluted Zhou Chen respectfully.
The housekeeper and the cook are in an employment relationship, while the two maids are bought. Their bond of sale is on Gong Yu. It can be said that Zhou Chen and Gong Yu can decide their life or death with just one word. Even if they are beaten to death,
The government won't even ask.
When Gong Yu heard the servant's name, the smile on her face was particularly bright. Although she had never thought of becoming Zhou Chen's wife, she still liked this title.
Zhou Chen asked them to get up, and then looked at the four people. He had lived for hundreds of years, and his eyes had already seen all the prosperity. With just one pair of eyes, he could see the differences between most people.
The two maids were timid and timid, which was perfectly normal. The cook was a woman in her thirties who still had some charm, so there was nothing unusual about her.
But when he saw the butler, he immediately narrowed his eyes. With his many years of experience, he immediately discovered how extraordinary this butler was.
With his martial arts skills and eyes that are different from ordinary people, this butler is by no means just an ordinary butler as he said.
'Interesting, you used this method to get close to me, and even Gong Yu didn't find out. Which force is he from? What's the purpose of getting close to me?'
Although he discovered the difference in this person, he had no intention of exposing it immediately. He wanted to see what purpose this person had in approaching him. It would be even better if he could find out the forces behind the scenes.
"If you work for me, your monthly payment will be paid as normal every month. There is no need to be too rigid. As long as you do your job in a safe manner, I will not treat you badly."
"Thank you, sir."
"Just do the work."
Zhou Chen waved them away and entered the room with Gong Yu.
"That housekeeper will be more careful in the future."
When Gong Yu heard this, his expression suddenly changed: "Is there something wrong with him?"
"There's something wrong, but don't be too nervous. Just be careful and don't attract his attention. Leave the rest to me."
"Oh, sir, I'm sorry, I was careless."
Gong Yu felt guilty. She was a secret agent herself. When selecting people, she actually let people with ulterior motives sneak in. This was definitely a huge mistake.
She also realized it later. She was too happy at the time and did not expect this, so that someone took advantage of her.
"It's okay, everyone makes mistakes, just pay attention in the future."
Although this was a big problem, he didn't criticize it too much.
Gong Yu nodded silently, but he remembered this mistake in his heart. No matter what he did in the future, he must be more cautious.
However, she was also confused as to why the young master asked her to pretend that he didn't notice the problem even though she knew there was something wrong with the housekeeper. But since the young master had said it, she had to listen.
Princess Pingyang's Mansion, Jin Yu hurriedly found Princess Pingyang.
"Princess, the old shopkeeper has successfully become Gong Ziyu's housekeeper. He sent me the news that Gong Ziyu looks very healthy."
After hearing this, Princess Pingyang breathed a sigh of relief: "As long as it's okay, it's okay."
For such a long time, the people she arranged have investigated a lot of information about Zhou Chen. Gong Ziyu seems to have appeared out of thin air, and no one can find out his roots.
But just because of this, she became more certain that Gong Ziyu's identity was most likely her biological son Zhou Chen.
Although she didn't know what happened in the meantime, she did not take any action or go to see Zhou Chen. Instead, she sent the old shopkeeper, the leader of the dead soldiers whom she relied on most, to Zhou Chen's side.
Investigation is one thing, and protection is another.
She had already lost her son once, and even though it was not finalized yet, she no longer wanted to see anything happen to Gong Ziyu again.
The assassination not long ago also scared her badly. Fortunately, Zhou Chen was fine.
"Princess, Gong Ziyu is very close to that girl Gong Yu from Miaoyinfang. If Gong Ziyu is really Xiao Chen, then..."
Princess Pingyang suddenly smiled. She had rarely smiled like this for so many years.
"If Gong Ziyu is really Xiaochen, do other things matter?"
Jin Yu also laughed and said: "Yes, if it is really Xiaochen, there is indeed nothing more important than his survival."
"If Gong Ziyu is Xiaochen, then Mei Changsu must be Xiao Shu. They returned to the capital for revenge. Although the Zhou Mansion is gone, it does not mean that the flag of the Zhou Mansion has fallen. We must
Try our best to help them.”
After all, the Zhou Mansion is also a hereditary first-class marquis mansion. Even if it is defeated, it does not mean that it really has no power at all. The power of the aristocratic family is far beyond what ordinary people can imagine.

Princess Nihuang's son-in-law selection meeting has been over for a while, and the final result was that Princess Nihuang chose no one. Although Emperor Liang was angry, he had no choice.
Because on the day when the three children defeated Bailiqi, Queen Yan and Concubine Yue hosted a banquet for Princess Nihuang. However, Princess Nihuang was reminded by Mei Changsu, whether it was with Queen Yan or Concubine Yue.
There was no tea there.
Especially Concubine Yue, they used a blinding trick to deceive Concubine Yue. Concubine Yue and others who did not understand the situation wanted to use force on her, but were beaten by the angry Princess Nihuang.
Moreover, Meng Zhi and Mu Qing, who were well prepared, arrived quickly, confronted the people arranged by Concubine Yue on the spot, and successfully captured Sima Lei.
The Queen even brought the Queen Mother to Concubine Yue and caught her at the scene.
Although the factual evidence is right in front of us, and King Yu and Queen are adding fuel to the flames, Emperor Liang's final punishment is thought-provoking.
He lowered the rank of Concubine Yue, severely punished Sima Lei and the Sima family, but treated the prince lightly and told Mu Nihuang not to hold on to him.
Of course Mu Nihuang was unwilling to show his violent temper, which made Emperor Liang very angry, but this time it was indeed the crown prince and Concubine Yue who went too far. He wanted to relieve Mu Nihuang's resentment. Even though he was the emperor, he still had to face
Mu Nihuang, who has a large number of troops, cannot be too strong.
Finally, he took a step back and allowed Mu Nihuang not to choose a son-in-law if he didn't meet someone he liked.
At night, Zhou Chen sneaked into Xie Mansion's Snow Cottage and met with Mei Changsu.
"I heard that you have bought a yard near Changzhifang. You moved very quickly."
Mei Changsu poured Zhou Chen a cup of hot tea and said lightly.
Zhou Chen picked up the teacup: "It's more comfortable to live in your own place after all. You can't let me live in Miaoyinfang all the time, right?"
"Yes, if you choose Changzhifang, it will be easier for us to contact you in the future."
Not long ago, he had a showdown with Prince Jing and officially joined Prince Jing. As for the residence, he had already decided on the location, and it was in Changzhifang.
"There is something else I want to tell you. Yesterday I met Princess Nihuang. She seemed to be suspicious of my identity, so she took me around the Lin Mansion today."
Zhou Chen said: "Isn't this an expected thing? Ever since he knew that you and I were on the same team, he has been investigating your affairs. She didn't know the old me, but she knew the old Lin Shu very well.
It’s perfectly normal for me to doubt you.”
"Yeah, it's normal."
In fact, Mei Changsu was somewhat happy that Princess Nihuang suspected that he was Lin Shu, which showed that Mu Nihuang had not forgotten their past.
But he could also feel that even if he guessed that he might be Lin Shu, Mu Nihuang was not as attached to him as before.
