Chapter 404: Meeting the Ninth Thousand Year Old (49)
Ye Xiao's home was outside the palace, it was a mansion given to him by the emperor, he would rest there when he was not on duty, but most of the time he spent in the palace.

So the so-called home outside the palace was actually deserted and there were not many people there, except for a few servants who were responsible for cleaning on weekdays.

The mansion is located near the Prince's Palace, surrounded by dignitaries. Because it is far away from the downtown area and covers a large area, the surrounding environment is also particularly quiet.

The news of Ye Xiao's return home was passed on early in the morning, and naturally people knew that he would bring a woman back and clean up a yard.

Youlan Courtyard is Lin Yan’s small courtyard.

However, it was never thought that a mistress would live in this mansion, so there were not many servants. Apart from the servants and guards, the only woman was the housekeeper.

"Sir, Butler Li has gone to the human trafficker to buy servants. Young lady will be able to choose one later." A servant came to report.

Ye Xiao's eyebrows were indifferent, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry. "Yeah."

Lin Yan had no objection to this. After all, she came in a hurry, so it was understandable that the mansion did not have time to prepare. Besides, she was the one being served, so what was there to complain about?

When the master comes home, the cook naturally has to prepare a sumptuous dinner.

Throughout the year, the master had very little time to rest at home. Even when he heard about the evil deeds of the master in the palace, he did not feel much.

After all, they didn't go home, so even if they did something wrong, he wouldn't know. Besides, they only had a small job, so how could they anger their master?
I did my job well, saw my master only a few times a year, slacked off from time to time, and collected my salary at the end of each month. Month after month, a year of laziness passed by.

During the Chinese New Year, the master may not be in the mansion, so they can basically spend the New Year at home and then come back to work. Because there are no family children in this mansion, even if they have a body contract, they can go home for the New Year if they want.

Many people in the capital were jealous of such a good job. However, Ye Xiao did not need so many people to serve him, so he only left some basic servants.

When the sun was setting, Butler Li had already returned with his men.

Behind him followed a group of women, most of whom were wearing dirty clothes, and each of them had a gray face. It seemed that they had been enslaved not long ago and were sold out after being trained.

There were a few people with a better mentality. They followed behind him in an orderly manner, their eyes rolling around, trying to gain some information from the surrounding environment.

These women were all assigned to the Youlan Courtyard, and their clothes were naturally bought ready-made from clothing stores, with each person getting a set of clothes that were washed and changed on the same day.

The importance of the housekeeper was reflected. The rules of each mansion were different, so she had to tell the rules of the mansion. She also had to tell the master how to serve him, what to do and what not to do.

Fortunately, they had been trained before being sold, so they almost understood everything after just one explanation.

Less than half an hour after returning, they had already firmly grasped their identities.

He also specifically asked Lin Yan to select someone to be his personal maid. The personal maid represents his image, and if there are things he cannot do, he can ask the personal maid to do them.

She refused. It wasn't because she didn't need it, but because they just met and it was unnecessary.

A personal maid needs to be trained from a young age, and this kind of maid who changes career path halfway can easily cause other situations. If she has any small thoughts, it is like planting a spy next to you.

What's more, she just needed someone to take care of her, not someone to observe her thoughts all the time. At dinner, the servants brought a lot of dishes, one after another, although not exquisite, but the advantage was the quantity. The dishes on that plate were almost overflowing, just like grandma's love, always afraid that you will not be full.

The private chef at home is definitely not as good as the chef in the imperial kitchen, in terms of taste and delicacy. However, this kind of private cuisine also has its own flavor. Because it is not delicate, there is no psychological burden to eat it.

Lin Yan's meal allowance in Xianyang Palace was just so-so. Although there were meat and vegetables, the portions were not large, and there was not meat every meal. Now that she suddenly had a big meal, she felt like she had suddenly become rich.

It's a bit confusing and I don't know which dish to start with.

Fortunately, there was a maidservant serving the dishes nearby, so she solved the problem for her.

The little maidservant had just taken up her post and only knew how to serve the dishes, but she couldn't guess the new master's preferences. Since she didn't know, she would just pick the dishes according to her own ideas.

The main point is, I will give my master whatever I want to eat.

His movements seemed neither hurried nor slow, but when one looked at the plate, there was already a small mountain of food on it.

Lin Yan smiled and stopped her behavior, "This is enough for now, I'm afraid I can't finish it." She was already honest and begged for mercy.

The whole dinner table was quiet. Unlike the previous scene of two people eating roast chicken, the current situation looked very warm, and it really was a bit like a family that had lived together for a long time.

Ye Xiao was about to return to the palace after dinner. He gave some instructions, "If you need anything, just tell Butler Li. If it's really not possible, wait until I come back."

In the past, there were not many people at home and he had nothing to do, so he was too lazy to go back. Anyway, it was the same inside and outside the palace.

Now that there was someone at home, it felt like home in an instant, unlike before when he was alone and lonely. This gave him something called hope for no reason.

In the past, his life was like a stagnant pool of water. His only goal was to stay alive, and he had no other thoughts.

And now, it seems that other goals have been found.

Home is so attractive to someone who has been lonely for a long time.

Lin Yan nodded considerately, "Don't worry, I'll wait for you at home. By the way, I'll prepare for the follow-up treatment, so remember to come back early!"

Ye Xiao's eyes froze for a moment. He was actually a little hesitant, wondering whether it was right or wrong to bring her back. But after thinking for a while, he finally dispelled his hesitation.

The person has already been brought back, can he still regret it?
He was not that cautious, and he was not a stupid person either.

Thinking of this, he left without any burden.

Lin Yan, who stayed behind, sat on a chair, tapping her fingers lightly on the table. After leaving the palace, she could slowly carry out her plan.

For example, maybe beauty pills can be used?
