Chapter 226: The Eighth Mission - The New Five Immortals 30
"This Zhao family is not a good place. Even though outsiders say that Mr. Zhao is philanthropic, in fact this family is all vicious-hearted. There are countless corpses sunk in the yard and pool of the house. If the girl wants to
Want to buy a house,
It's best to go somewhere else, otherwise you won't be able to live safely in the future. You never know when you will be haunted by resentful ghosts, lose your luck, and then be beaten to death while walking on the street. That's it.
Just like the short-lived Miss Zhao."
Let’s not talk about whether the previous part of what this person said is true, but the last sentence about being beaten to death while walking on the road is a clear threat.
Noila Mo glanced at this man again, ordinary mortal, so brave!
Of course, it is also possible that he does not know the identities of Mo Yiyi and the others. After all, he is now in a visibly depressed state, and it is normal for him not to get first-hand information.
Mo Yiyi had no intention of arguing with ordinary people about this little inappropriate comment.
It's just that she doesn't care about it, but the Zhao family doesn't!
Mr. Zhao clenched his back molars and had red eyes to hold back again, but Mrs. Zhao couldn't help it.
That was her only daughter, the lifeblood of her heart, how could she endure it!
She pulled out the hairpin from her head, held it firmly in her hand, and ran towards the man angrily!
The man was still standing there showing off his cool clothes. When he saw Mrs. Zhao rushing over, he panicked and quickly stepped back and screamed.
"Stop her! Stop her quickly!"
The servants of Zhao Mansion wanted to stop her, but Mrs. Zhao's reaction was so unexpected that everyone was a step slower!
Seeing that Mrs. Zhao was about to rush to the man, she already waved the hairpin in her hand and stabbed him hard!
The man was frightened and subconsciously raised his hand to block it, which saved his life.
The sharp hairpin stuck into the man's arm. The man was in pain and subconsciously wanted to resist. He wanted to push Mrs. Zhao away, but the hand he didn't want to stretch out was suddenly pinched hard. Fortunately, the crazy Mrs. Zhao was also pinched.
The servant who was waiting beside him rushed up and stopped him!
And the one holding the man's hand was Shuangxi!
The man saw that Shuangxi was not big in stature and was still a woman, so he wanted to break free from her restraints.
But Shuangxi is a monk, and he is also a swordsman who exercises his body. For a man like this, even eight of them can't shake Shuangxi!
However, Shuangxi didn't hold on to him. After Mrs. Zhao was pulled away, she threw him away.
Maybe Shuangxi really didn't like this person, so she used a little more force and threw him several steps away. Finally, she sat down on the ground, touched the wound, and inhaled in pain!
Since Mrs. Zhao was caught, although she was still struggling, she did not shout loudly, and struggled very restrainedly. She only had a pair of eyes staring at the man who fell to the ground, with hatred in her eyes!
Noila Mo looked at Mr. Zhao again.
He looked really sad, his eyes were red, his teeth were gritted, and his eyes were filled with grief that could not be faked.
But compared with Mrs. Zhao, Mr. Zhao's sadness is too superficial.
Walking towards the house, Noila Mo came to see the house, but with everything going on like this, she still hadn't forgotten her purpose.
The Zhao Mansion is indeed well built, covering a large area, and the scenery inside is also good. It can be seen that a lot of thought has been put into it.
When Mo Yiyi stood by the pond and looked at the lotus flowers in the pond at night, she couldn't help but sigh.
"This Zhao Mansion is indeed an elegant place."
Mr. Zhao's eyes were red, as if he had not yet recovered from the pain of losing his daughter, but he still smiled at Noila Mo.
"The distinguished guest was so complimentary, it's all thanks to my wife."
Noila Mo nodded and continued shopping without saying anything else.
She was very satisfied with everything in the Zhao Mansion, so standing on the stone steps at the door of the main hall, Mo Yiyi asked Mr. Zhao the price.
After Mr. Zhao hesitated for a while, he finally stated the price in his mind.
"My house is one of the best in Guang'an City. Although it's a little bit different in terms of location, you should have seen it before you came in. It's only one street away. And I don't want anything else in this house. I'm here to serve you.
I will only take away part of the servant, and you can move in directly after you buy it. Adding up these bits and pieces, I want five hundred thousand taels of silver."
Mr. Zhao is very open-minded. Just for this house, including all the furniture, servants, guards, housekeepers, servants, maids, servants, and cooks, all of them are worth 300,000 taels.
Mr. Zhao asked for such a price, leaving room for Mo Yiyi to pay back the money on the spot.
But Mo Yiyi nodded directly and said.
"I can give you five hundred thousand taels, but I have a request."
Mr. Zhao's eyes flickered, and there was a flash of greed in his eyes, but his face remained stable.
"Want to hear the details."
Mo Yiyi looked at Mr. Zhao and slowly stated her request.
-----
That night, the transfer of ownership in the Zhao Mansion was completed. However, it was difficult for Master Zhao and his family to move out this late at night. Mo Yiyi was not the kind of hard-hearted person, so she let them stay in the mansion for another night.
Mo Yiyi and the three of them still live in the carriage.
The compartment of the carriage was spacious, more than enough to accommodate the three of them without any inconvenience.
Shuangxi followed the manager of Zhao Mansion to go through the transfer procedures. It was late at night and she remembered to tell Mo Yiyi something.
"I went to the Yamen today with the steward and Yazi from the tooth shop. They confiscated your bracelet. They said that the monk guarding the city had greeted you before that."
With that said, Shuangxi took out the emerald green bracelet and wanted to return it to Noila Mo, but Mo Yiyi shook her head.
"Just keep it if you like."
Shuangxi stretched out his hand and took it back with a swipe, then smiled and put the bracelet back into his storage bag!
She really has no use for these mortal things, and they can't be sold at high prices in the world of cultivation.
But her relatives and kin are mortals. When she reaches the foundation-building stage and can support the people in the village, she can go back to the village to have a look, and the accumulated things can be brought back as gifts!
Honghua saw that Double Happiness had a bracelet, so she peeked at Mo Yiyi with her small eyes.
Noila Mo did not treat one favorably, she rummaged through the storage compartment, and finally found a pair of mutton-fat white jade bracelets and gave them to Honghua, and that was it.
After giving the bracelet, Noila Mo took out a basket of spiritual fruits.
When the two of them looked over, Mo Yiyi stopped them.
"This is a third-grade spiritual fruit. You can't eat it. Shuangxi, please go to the Yamen for me and deliver this to the city guard, just to express your feelings."
Shuangxi took the fruit basket and looked at the number of fruits inside, feeling doubtful.
"He still owes us something, why should we give him gifts?"
Mo Yiyi brought out another first-grade fruit basket for the two of them to eat. Seeing that both of them had eaten, she explained.
"No matter what we want to do in Guang'an City, it is definitely not bad to have a good relationship with Shou Cheng. And he said hello about the transfer of ownership, so we should accept this relationship. When you go to deliver the fruit basket to Double Happiness
Don’t mention the thank you gift.”
Seeing that Noila Mo was serious, Shuangxi also agreed seriously. He took out a few spiritual fruits and put them in his storage bag to eat on the way. Then he left the Zhao Mansion with the basket of third-grade fruits and rushed to the Yamen.
Gone!
It's getting late now, the government office has long been closed, and no one is allowed to move outside even at night.
But this kind of rule obviously has no control over the monks.
So Shuangxi came back soon after leaving and told Noila Mo that the fruit basket had been delivered!
And Shuangxi also said.
"He seems to like the fruit basket very much. He said that he would pay us a visit after we settle down here."
After hearing this, Mo Yiyi just nodded and didn't say anything more.
The night passed so quietly, and the Zhao family in Zhao Mansion began to move the next day.
Since everything in the Zhao Mansion was packed and sold to Mo Yiyi, when they moved, they took some of their own gold, silver, and people with them.
Only then did Mo Yiyi know what the so-called marriage of a woman from the same house was all about!
Last night, Noila Mo just took a brief tour of the Zhao Mansion and didn't see these aunts and concubines. Today, she saw, good guys, a bunch of people!
Today, Mo Yiyi saw Mrs. Zhao again. She had returned to her previous dignified appearance, but there was a hint of numbness between her eyebrows. It seemed that the loss of her daughter was still a huge blow to her.
She acted very calmly towards her husband's concubines, so calmly that she didn't even turn her head to look at them!
When it came to Mr. Zhao, yesterday he looked unsteady, but today he was in a pile of makeup and powder. The beauty shyly said a word to him, and he said yes with a smile.
Another beauty blew up a gust of fragrance with her handkerchief, and Mr. Zhao came over and whispered something to the beauty, making the beauty roll her eyes at him shyly.
Fortunately, this scene did not last long, and the Zhao family completely moved away from here.
Mo Yiyi didn't care where they were going to live after leaving the Zhao Mansion. She just looked back at Mrs. Zhao when they left, and after seeing her leaving without looking back, she started to prepare for moving in!
First, there is the issue of where you live.
Of course she had to live in the main house of the house Mo Yiyi bought, but the main house was originally where Mr. Zhao lived, and Mo Yiyi didn't want the furniture in it.
So first, all the furniture and furnishings in the room were evacuated, and then Mo Yiyi had someone smoke the entire room with aromatherapy. After completely covering up the original smell in the room, she started to re-paint the walls, removing the original dark smell.
The sunken walls were repainted.
The same treatment was given to the houses selected by Double Happiness and Honghua.
Although they live in a ready-made second-hand house, they try their best to remove the smell of the original owner.
After the wall is repainted, it will take some time to let the wall dry. This will take at least three days.
But Mo Yiyi didn't need it, she directly asked people to use expensive aromatherapy to smoke the room and dry it out!
According to Mo Yiyi, when these servants started repairing in full swing, she also took Shuangxi Honghua and the two of them out of the Zhao Mansion and started shopping on the street!
The first stop Mo Yiyi took with Shuangxi and Honghua was Yaxing.
I bought a house last night, but I haven’t hired the main servants yet!
There was no need to take care of the servants such as the sweepers, servants, and servants. All the maids and servants who worked in the Zhao family were kept here.
But there is still a shortage of people such as housekeepers, accountants, embroiderers, chefs and cooks in the kitchen, grooms who serve the horses in the backyard, etc.!
The composition of the houses in this city is somewhat different from those in ordinary counties. Obviously the predecessors left some servants behind, but now there are more people who want to buy it from Mo Yiyi!
Fortunately, these people are not difficult to choose. Mo Yiyi has money. First, he takes a general look at his face. If he doesn’t look like a treacherous and evil person, and he doesn’t have any bad aura, he buys it. Mo Yiyi is not short of money.
The three of them also have very high martial arts, and they don't worry about the servants who buy them home. They just use them if they are convenient and replace them if they don't. On the contrary, Mo Yiyi is relatively indifferent.
The servants bought a lot and asked them to report to the Zhao Mansion directly!
The plaque of the Zhao Mansion has not been taken off yet, so a few trusted butlers are needed to make a new plaque and remove the plaque with the Zhao Mansion engraved on the lintel!
After sending the people to the Zhao Mansion and watching these servants enter the house, Mo Yiyi didn't follow them in to confirm their identities, so she left again with Shuangxi and Honghua.
This time I went to the shops, and what I saw the most were the furniture.
Don't worry about the furniture Mo Yiyi uses. She has several sets of golden nanmu furniture in her own storage compartment. She likes to use this kind of furniture.
But Shuangxi and Honghua need to buy new furniture, otherwise they won’t even have a bed to sleep on at night!
Fortunately, the stores that sell furniture like this kind of furniture made for big houses all have samples. When Noila Mo entered the store, she only had to choose the best one to buy!
I bought two sets of furniture, and then Mo Yiyi took Shuangxi and Honghua to visit Jinlou and the fabric shop.
After this round of shopping, it’s already afternoon!
Everything she bought was delivered directly to her home by the shopkeeper, but she paid in cash.
After all, the house’s accountant just bought it, but there’s nothing in the house’s inventory yet!
Mo Yiyi took Double Happiness and Honghua and sat in the largest restaurant in Guang'an City. Mo Yiyi opened the window and could see the street view below.
The food in this restaurant tastes pretty good. Shuangxi and Honghua ate without raising their heads, but Mo Yiyi was a little uninterested. She looked outside through the window and didn't know what she was thinking.
After a while, there was suddenly some commotion on the street, and not long after, a caravan came over from the other side of the street. Before anyone walked in, Mo Yiyi smelled the aroma of wine!
Mo Yiyi looked down through the window. The person walking at the front of the caravan was holding a flag with a big word "wine" written on it!
This means that this caravan is selling wine, and entering the city in such a ostentatious manner is also to inform the merchants in the city that their caravan has good wine for sale!
Mo Yiyi looked down through the window, and it happened that the leader of the caravan rode up to the restaurant, and strangely, it was the home of a girl disguised as a man.
Mo Yiyi saw the novelty, so she took a gold ingot and threw it down.
The gold ingot happened to fall into the girl's arms. The girl was obviously startled. She held the gold ingot and looked up, and happened to meet Mo Yiyi's gaze at the window.
Mo Yiyi took another gold ingot in her hand at some point, shook it towards the woman below, and spoke with a slightly raised voice.
"Liquor owner, come up here and tell me what good wine you have here!"
It was obviously the first time for this girl to meet a buyer like Mo Yiyi, but after being frightened, she smiled. She picked up the gold ingot that fell in her arms and looked at it. After confirming that it was real, the girl also smiled.
It's really come true.
Although Mo Yiyi's high-altitude projectile scared her, who can resist the charm of Jin Yuanbao!
What's more, Mo Yiyi seems to be a wealthy owner. She definitely can't miss such a good customer!
Therefore, the wine owner informed the people around her, and the others took the wine to the inn first, while she got off the horse with the entourage holding the sample wine, and went to the restaurant very happily!
Mo Yiyi called the waiter and asked them to serve a dish and a pair of bowls and chopsticks.
The dishes will take a while, but the bowls and chopsticks have already been placed.
By the time the host came up, tea and snacks had already been set up at her place!
The landlady was also tired from work, and she also smelled like horse and sweat. It was obvious that the landlady was on her way like everyone else, and she was not given any special privileges.
This girl obviously knew that she smelled bad, so she stood at the door and hesitated for a moment. Noila Mo waved her hand and told her to come in directly.
The girl didn't hesitate. When she saw Noila Mo waving, she led the people in.
However, the smell on their bodies was indeed unpleasant, and Mo Yiyi had no intention of abusing her nose. After they got closer, she went straight to her hands one by one, cleaning up the boss and the servants following her first!
Although this kind of cleaning can only be done roughly and cannot be as clean as the charms Mo Yiyi uses every day, it is enough for these mortals!
The girl who originally had a smile on her face was shocked by this turn of events. She forgot all the words that were going through her mind, and her mind was filled with the strange feeling just now!
Noila Mo was very proactive. When she saw the girl standing there motionless, she took the initiative to ask.
"Wine owner, what good wine do you have?"
The girl panicked for a moment after hearing the question, but she quickly regained her composure and smiled again.
"Immortal, my family has several famous wines, the most famous of which is March Brew. If the Immortal likes it, I, I can sell it to the Immortal at a cheaper price!"
He didn’t say that he wanted to give it away, he just said that it would be cheaper for Noila Mo.
On the one hand, this is because I want to make good friends, or to be more precise, I want not to offend Mo Yiyi.
On the other hand, they were also testing to see if Noila Mo wanted to pay for their wine.
Mo Yiyi is not the kind of monk who plunders the property of mortals just because he is a monk.
"It's not necessary if it's cheap. As long as your wine is good, I'll buy it all."
The wine shop owner liked happy customers like Mo Yiyi, so she actively delivered the sample wine they brought to Mo Yiyi.
These kinds of wine are all packed in small wine jars. Each jar is only one-third of the volume of a wine jug, which is about four or five cups.
The first thing the wine shop opened was the March Brew she mentioned earlier.
Mo Yiyi had never heard of this kind of wine, but when the mud seal on the wine jar was removed and the aroma of the wine filled the air, Mo Yiyi fell in love with this wine.
The aroma of this wine is refreshing, with a clear and clear feeling like a clear spring in the mountains.
When the wine glass was filled, she took a sip and liked it even more!
This wine smells refreshing, but the actual taste is very mellow, neither irritating nor spicy, with just the right amount of warmth. After drinking it, there is even a hint of grass and wood in the aftertaste.
This March brew is not a famous wine, but it does have its own unique characteristics.
So Noila Mo nodded and asked the wine owner directly.
"How much of this wine do you have? How much does a jar cost?"
The bartender subconsciously stretched out his hand and gestured to Mo Yiyi twice, but it was a pity that Mo Yiyi didn't understand.
She was not a professional wine seller. It was her first time buying wine from a wine seller's caravan, so she didn't understand these 'jargon' at all.
The wine shop owner also realized this after subconsciously making gestures, and his whole body froze right there!
Noila Mo saw the girl's reaction was interesting, so she didn't embarrass her and spoke directly.
"I don't understand this, just say it."
The bartender withdrew his gesticulating hand and awkwardly clenched his small hands into fists in his sleeves before speaking.
"We have thirteen jars of March Brew, each jar costs 800 taels!" After finishing speaking, he added as if he was afraid that Mo Yiyi would find it expensive. "Although this March Brew is not famous, it is indeed a good wine, and
Our wine jars are also very large and can hold a lot of wine. Eight hundred taels per jar is definitely a reasonable price!”
The price was too high, and Mo Yiyi felt like she was aware of it.
Mo Yiyi knew what the big wine jar in their motorcade looked like, and it was not like she didn't know the price of good wine.
The price given by the owner of this wine is too high. The price she gave is almost the same as the price sold by the merchant!
This caravan is in the wholesale business, and the price when selling is generally 10% or 20% lower, but the girl may have thought that Mo Yiyi only wanted to buy it for herself, so the price she gave was the same as what the merchant sold to the customer.
Seeing the innocent and sincere expression on the face of the wine shop owner, Mo Yiyi made a sound in her heart, knowing that she had made a mistake.
I originally thought that this girl was uptight, but actually she was not, she is also a seasoned person!
Noila Mo didn't even bargain with the girl, she just nodded.
"I want all of this March wine. Do you have any other good wines?"
The wine shop owner showed a happy smile, as if she was happy that the sale was successful, and then she began to promote other wines.
There are seven kinds of sample wines she brought this time, not counting March Brew, there are still six kinds.
To be honest, the remaining six kinds of wine are not as good as the March Brew in terms of taste and aroma, but Mo Yiyi still bought them all!
When Mo Yiyi said that she wanted all the wine, the wine shop owner was shocked, and then became secretly vigilant.
The hotel owner was once again afraid that Noila Mo would give him the money, so he planned to rob her.
Fortunately, Mo Yiyi gave the money very happily, and two boxes of gold bricks were taken out. The gold was enough to buy all the wine in her caravan!
After all the money was taken out, the defensiveness in the wine shop owner's heart was blown away like the wind, and a smile appeared on his face again.
