Yusui Chang'an

Chapter 148 Going out to do business
Lin Jinyan had no expectations at first, but Du Xing was very respectful to her as soon as he came.As long as this person can listen to her and act according to her words, Lin Jinyan doesn't care about this little detail.

Lin Jinyan raised her hand and picked up the order she had written a long time ago, and handed it to Du Xing along with the silver coins.

"Tomorrow you go out and buy the first place on the list in your name, and you will live there from now on. There is only one big house adjacent to this place, which is my mother's dowry house. You can buy it After leaving the house, find a reliable person to open up the adjacent wall between the two houses and make it into a secret door or tunnel, as long as it can be connected and cannot be seen from the outside."

Du Xing took the silver, frowning with disapproval on his face.

"Since this is the eldest lady's house, if we want to break ground, do we need to inform the general first and then make a decision?"

The smile on Lin Jinyan's face did not change, but she looked at Du Xing with a serious look.

"Duxing, my grandpa asked you to follow me and obey my orders, which means that you only need to listen to my orders. If you can't do it, what's the point of asking you to come? My grandpa asked you, Do you remember?"

Du Xing was stunned for a moment by Lin Jinyan's scorching gaze. The general had indeed given him instructions before he came, and he only listened to Lin Jinyan's words. He also said that if he couldn't handle the errand, he should not go back to lead the troops.

Du Xing thought that Lin Jinyan only asked him to stay for three years. After these three years, he would still be able to return to the military camp.

I didn’t ask any more questions at the moment and agreed.

Seeing that Du Xing agreed, Lin Jinyan continued to give instructions one by one.

"If the people looking at the house talk too much, I will get rid of them all. After a while, there will be trustworthy people who will look after the house."

"The second and third places on the list are my mother's dowry to Zhuangzi. They are both in the eastern suburbs of the city and are left to your care. In the next two days, I will ask the original head of the village to come to the house to deliver the account books. If nothing can be found out, If you ask any questions, I will let you meet and tell them to follow your orders in the future."

"The last thing on the list is that after you buy the house and return home tomorrow, you can send Bai Zhi there to protect her. You don't need to do anything else."

"If anyone asks about buying a house and giving Angelica dahurica, don't say anything. If anything happens, tell me directly. If you can't find it, just go to Dahurica and don't tell others."

Lin Jinyan finished his instructions in a clear and logical manner. Even though Du Xing was confused, he still wrote them down one by one. Seeing that Lin Jinyan had nothing else to do, he retreated to the front yard.

After Duxing left, Lin Jinyan asked Bai Zhi to close the door and gave her instructions alone for a while.

When Agate finished her work and pushed in the door, Lin Jinyan was lying on the table practicing calligraphy seriously, while Bai Zhi was grinding ink on the side, and nothing unusual could be seen.

At noon the next day, when Du Xing came to reply, Lin Jinyan ordered Bai Zhi to go shopping, and Du Xing happened to be escorting her.

When Bai Zhi came back in the evening, she went into the study and polished ink for Lin Jinyan instead of Yutong. Lin Jinyan sent Yutong to guard the door.

Magnolia in the yard saw it and just murmured in her heart.

There were only Lin Jinyan and Bai Zhi in the study. Lin Jinyan asked in a low voice: "How is it?"

"It's not a serious illness, but it's a bit troublesome. The old man got sick from overwork. It's only dangerous if the symptoms appear together this time. He won't be cured for a while, so he needs to take care of himself."

Lin Jinyan nodded: "Thank you for your hard work, will he accept the money?"

Bai Zhi shook her head, took out the banknote from her sleeve and gave it back to Lin Jinyan.

"He refused to accept it and said that the money you gave me last time had not been spent. Before leaving, he repeatedly asked me to thank you."
