Sky Surveying Demon Hunt

Chapter 316
After leaving the government office in the capital, Lin Ji still frowned slightly after walking in the city for a long time.

Lu Zhao'er, on the other hand, looked quite carefree, stuffing a snack into her mouth from time to time, her cheeks bulging.

It was the first time Lin Ji saw her like this.

In the past, I always felt that Lu Zhaoer was too cold, and I only knew about errands all day long, and never saw her for entertainment.

Now I saw another look of her.

"Don't you think Master Sun was weird just now?" Lin Ji asked out his doubts.

"What's weird?"

"Master Sun seems to be in a bad mood. After all, Wu Gui has his father behind him, so it's not his turn to be imprisoned for a month."

Lu Zhaoer chuckled twice.

"It's because of his father that he was imprisoned for so long."

"What's the meaning."

"I'll talk to you later."

During the time they were talking, the two had arrived at the east of the city, passing by the small courtyard that Lei Bao had arranged for Lin Ji last time.

In front is Lu Mansion. .

Pausing at the gate of the Lu Mansion, Lu Zhaoer pointed to another big house diagonally ahead and said, "That's the house that Mr. Fang gave you. It was originally given to Mr. Fang by the Holy Lord, but Mr. Fang used to have a courtyard. In addition, he has been living in the general office since he acted as the head of the department, so the house has been vacant instead."

Lin Ji was a little surprised.

"Is it a reward from Emperor Pei?"

At first, I felt a little panic, afraid of overstepping, but then Lin Ji thought again, anyway, the house was given by Fang Yunshan, so if you want trouble, you should go to Fang Yunshan.

So I feel at ease again.

"I'm going back home first. I'll have someone call you when dinner is ready. You should go and see your home first."

Lin Ji responded, and after watching Lu Zhaoer enter the Lu Mansion, he also took two steps faster, and soon came to his big house.

Not in a hurry to go in, Lin Ji first looked at the door for a moment.

This house looks luxurious, but in fact there is nothing special, it is nothing more than blue bricks and red tiles, and the red paint on the door is newer.

Just as Lin Ji walked up the steps, the door was opened, and a thin young man walked out.

"Little Fang An, I have seen the master."

"Who are you?" Lin Ji asked in surprise.

"The young one is the butler of the house." Fang An bowed and said, "I am the only one in the house, and Mr. Fang didn't plan to move here, so he dismissed all the maids in the house at the beginning. If the master needs it, The younger ones can go to recruit people.”

Lin Ji was taken aback by Fang An's words.

"Come in and walk with me first."

Fang An quickly responded and walked in front of Lin Ji to lead the way.

"This house is the standard of a second-rank official in Beijing, and it is a courtyard with three entrances."

While walking, Fang An introduced.

After entering the gate of the house, there is a veranda lined with colorful flowers.

July is the season of flowering.

After the veranda is the inner courtyard, the east and west wing rooms are neatly arranged on both sides, the main hall is ahead, and the garden and the main room are behind the main hall.

Further on, there is another shelter for servants to live in.

This house is not too big or small, it is slightly smaller than Lin Ji's house in Liangcheng.

But this is the capital, and it is also a place where princes and nobles gather in the east of the city. It is already very good to have a courtyard of this size.

After a tour, Lin Ji was quite satisfied with this place.

After coming to the main hall to sit down, he looked at Fang An who was beside him.

Although Fang An's face was calm at this time, Lin Ji could see that he was a little uneasy.

"What's your relationship with Master Fang?" Lin Ji asked casually.

"Returning to the master, the younger one is an orphan. He was adopted by Mr. Fang since he was a child, and Mr. Fang also gave him his name."

Lin Ji nodded, looked at Fang An quietly, thinking in his heart.

After a while, he said, "This house is so big, are you busy enough to take care of it?"

"Returning to the master, because there are only villains in the house, so it is still busy."

"Go and recruit some people back. There should always be some work to do in the house on weekdays. It doesn't need to be too much, just three or two people. Let's hire a servant girl. Although I don't like others to serve the daily life, if there are guests coming to the house in the future, I should Someone is supporting the facade."

Saying that, Lin Ji smiled at Fang An.

"I'm also a bumpkin who went to the city. I'm sure I don't know as well as you. I'll leave this to you."

"Obey." Fang An hurriedly saluted, and he was relieved.

It's fine if the new master doesn't drive him away.

When Mr. Fang left, he had told him that if the new master didn't need him, then let him seek his own happiness and not be entangled.

After sending Fang An to recruit people, Lin Ji waited in the mansion.

After waiting for less than a quarter of an hour, Lu Zhaoer came.

"Why are you here in person?" Lin Ji was a little surprised, logically, the housekeeper should call.

"My grandpa has gone to the palace. The Holy Spirit has consulted with him for more than an hour." Lu Zhaoer said, "Grandpa is not here, so there is no need for you to go to my house again. Let's talk about it when grandpa comes back."

Lin Ji nodded, thought for a while, and said, "If that's the case, then let me be the host?"

"You will be the host?"

"Moving to a new house, I will cook myself."

"it is good."

Lu Zhaoer agreed so readily that Lin Ji began to wonder if she had thought this way when she came.

There was no food in the house, and Fang An went out to recruit people again, so Lin Ji had to take Lu Zhaoer to buy vegetables in person.

There is a vegetable market in the east of the city, and it is exclusively for vendors in the houses of princes and ministers. The quality of ingredients is much better than other places, and you can also see many delicacies from mountains and seas.

It took half an hour to buy a few chickens and ducks, some stewed beef and seasoned vegetables, and after returning to the house, Lin Ji went straight into the kitchen.

Lu Zhaoer walked around the inner courtyard.

After a while, Fang An came back with a few people.

When he saw Lu Zhaoer, Fang An was taken aback for a moment, and then hurriedly saluted.

"Fang An, the housekeeper of the villain's Lin family, met Miss Lu."

"You recognize me?" Lu Zhaoer was a little surprised.

"Young one has dealt with the housekeeper in your house."

Lu Zhaoer nodded, then looked at the three people behind Fang An.

Two men and one woman, the two men looked like gardeners or something, Lu Zhaoer just glanced at them and stopped paying attention.

But that girl, although she was wearing linen clothes and her face was a little dirty, her eyes were unusually bright, and she even dared to look at Lu Zhaoer.

Fang An also saw this scene and quickly scolded him.

"Bold, that's the daughter of the Lu family, do you know the rules?"

The girl just bowed her head and gave a slight blessing as a salute.

"This is the servant girl that the master ordered to find for the family."

Lu Zhaoer nodded and said, "Go and do your work."

Fang An responded, and hurriedly led the three of them towards the shelter in the backyard.

As he walked, he could still hear Fang An's voice constantly admonishing him.

"I took you in because you were pitiful, so don't cause trouble for me."

"Yes." The girl's voice was a little weak.

"Hey, the master in the house is honorable, and the visitor is also a big shot in Beijing. Even I have to be careful. Don't offend others."
