"Okay!" Bi Qiao agreed without much hesitation.

It was a rare opportunity to get in touch with the original family, how could she give up?

With a subtle smile, "But I didn't prepare a visiting card in advance, isn't it inappropriate?"

Xi Yihe took her hand and walked towards the house, "I invited you, so it's naturally in accordance with etiquette."

The Xi family's house was not big, and some places could even be seen to be shabby.

But it was very quiet and elegantly decorated, and it was obvious that someone had spent a lot of time on it.

Xi Yihe took the person to the backyard, asked the person to sit down, and then asked the little maid to get the steamed cakes from the stove, "I don't know if you like it, if you like it, you can take some back."

Bi Qiao thanked him repeatedly.

Xi Yihe patted her hand gently and smiled.

It was very strange. It was only the second time they met. If it was in the past, she would not get on her carriage without knowing each other at all, nor would she take the person home when they met again.

But looking at the little girl in front of him, there was an inexplicable sense of intimacy.

Xi Yihe always follows his heart. Since he can't figure it out, he will spend more time with her.

They chatted for a few more sentences, and at this moment, there was a noise outside. Xi Yihe listened to a few sentences, with some displeasure in his eyes, "Miss Bi, please sit here first, I'll be back soon."

Bi Qiao nodded in response.

When the people left, she picked up a piece of cake and ate it.

The taste was very familiar, not that she had eaten it before, but the favorite taste in her original memory.

"Yihe, we are relatives, are you really going to drive us away?"

"I brought the child here, it's our own child, if..."

"Oh, oh, don't push me."

"I want to stay, grandma said, this is my home, everything here will belong to me in the future..."

The noise gradually became smaller, and the voices became softer from very clear, and it was completely quiet in a short while.

Bi Qiao didn't need to be curious to ask, she probably knew what it was.

The Xi family is small, with only Xi Yihe and his younger generation.

If it weren't for the fact that Master Xi had many students all over the world, and some of his students were officials in the capital, other branches of the Xi family would have long coveted everything about Xi Yihe's family, especially since they only had one daughter, and they would have wanted to take it all for themselves.

Even though they didn't dare to make a big fuss because they took into account some of Master Xi's powerful students, they would still pop up from time to time and say that if they adopted a boy to their family, they would be able to support Xi Yihe in the future.

These are all nonsense.

Those people in the Xi family's side branches only knew how to take advantage of the situation and never thought about overcoming difficulties together.

In the first life, Xi Yihe married Su Boting, and became the wife of a juren and the wife of the top scholar. She was in great glory for a while. Within a dozen years, Su Boting became an important official in the court, and he had even more financial power.

The Xi family's side branches were like a dog-skin plaster, clinging to them and not wanting to leave.

Fortunately, not only is Su Boting not the kind of person who condones people around him to commit crimes, Xi Yihe looks weak, but her methods are also decisive, and she has dealt with this group of people completely.

You can take advantage, but you have to follow the rules.

The elder sister of the original body can be gentle and strong, and her temperament is not ordinary.

It’s a pity that Yin Huan intervened in the second life.

To be honest, after Bi Qiao read the memories of the original body, and then thought about Yin Huan, she really didn’t understand how Su Boting fell in love with such a brainless woman.

If she had just a little bit of merit, it would be fine.

But thinking back to what Yin Huan did before, if she had thought a little more before taking action, she wouldn’t have done such a stupid thing.

Is this kind of person really what Su Boting likes?

Even if she hasn’t had much in-depth contact, she can see in the past two years that Su Boting is a very self-disciplined person who has a lot of ideas about the future.

How much does it take to tolerate people around him dragging their feet all the time?

It's true that in the second life, even if Yin Huan became Su Boting's wife, she would always cause some troubles, whether in the early or late stages, even if she could slap those troublemakers in the face every time in the end, but she had to be said to be a troublemaker.

Because no matter what trouble she caused, it was Su Boting and the children she picked up who helped to slap her in the face.

Otherwise, how could she show the group's favor?

Whether it was the male protagonist or the main supporting role, they all protected her in their palms and pampered her.

'Tsk tsk', it was really good enough.

Bi Qiao felt that they were either blind or blind in their hearts.

Anyway, with Yin Huan's intervention in the previous life, Xi Yihe's situation was particularly bad. The book-crossing girl would naturally collide with the original female protagonist. With countless golden fingers, even if Xi Yihe had great means, she would still be defeated in the end.

At this time, the Xi family's side branches did not think of supporting her.

After Master Xi died and Xi Yihe was forced to jump into the river, they were not sad but even ecstatic. They moved directly into the Xi family's house and occupied all their things.

But the family didn't end well.

The Xi family father and daughter died, but Master Xi's students are still there.

They didn't have the ability to deal with Yin Huan, but they had no problem dealing with these people. They didn't need to frame them. They could find a lot of evidence with a casual investigation and finally send them all to jail.

Footsteps slowly sounded, and Xi Yihe came in with a food box.

It was obvious that he was going to take all of this back to Bi Qiao.

The two chatted again, and when they knew Bi Qiao's plan to come here, Xi Yihe was a little surprised, "Are you going to buy a house?"

Bi Qiao nodded, "This neighborhood is pretty good. I didn't expect to meet Sister Xi while walking."

"Will your family not show up?" Xi Yihe couldn't help asking.

It's not that Bi Qiao can't afford to buy a house. Although the little girl in front of her is not dressed like a rich person, she doesn't look restrained from her eyebrows and eyes after entering the house.

However, Bi Qiao is only about fourteen or fifteen years old. Why did her family give her such an important matter?

This is what surprised her.

Buying a house is not a trivial matter. Listening to Bi Qiao's previous words, their family came from a remote village, so buying a house in a town is definitely a big and important matter.

But such an important matter fell into the hands of a little girl.

Xi Yihe felt that there was only one possibility.

The little girl in front of her was definitely not so weak. I'm afraid she has the ability to convince people.

She poured a cup of tea for him, "Have you decided? Are you planning to buy a house nearby?"

"I have this idea." Bi Qiao said, "But we have to look at other places."

It would be nice to be neighbors with the original family, but if you can't find a suitable house, you can only choose other places.

"I'm not very familiar with this matter. If you need it, I can recommend a broker to you." Xi Yihe said, "This person lives nearby and has lived in the city for decades. He knows this place very well. He is an acquaintance and has a good character. I don't think he will cheat you."

"Thank you, Sister Xi." Bi Qiao agreed.

In fact, it is best to find a broker to buy and sell houses.

But she and Su Lin both felt that they were too young and it would be difficult not to be cheated if they went there rashly. It would be better to wander around the city first and find a suitable place before asking the broker for details.

Now it is best to have someone to help.

"You want to give me money?"

"What do you want to find out? Just ask, we will definitely know."

"Yes, even if we don't know, several uncles have been here for decades, they must know."

The beggars who were curled up in the corner stood up at once.

Even though they were dirty, they had light in their eyes, not lifeless.

Su Lin looked at them and couldn't help thinking that the officials in the city should be good. Although they couldn't have a worry-free life, at least they were not numb to life.

He nodded, "As long as you do a little favor, I will give you half a tael of silver."

"Half a tael... um." The little beggar howled twice, and was covered by the mouth of the people around him, "Shh, don't shout!"

The older beggar gave his companion instructions and said, "This big brother, you call me Ercao, just ask, we will tell you what we know."

Su Lin said his name, and then said, "I plan to buy a house in the city, and I want to hear your opinions."

"Ah? Where do we get opinions?"

"Is it impossible to get half a tael of silver?"

Compared to the panic of other little beggars, Ercao rolled his eyes and said immediately, "How big a house does Brother Su plan to buy? We don't know much about the price, but we still know where there are good houses."

Su Lin said a size.

Ercao thought about it, and he waved his hand and said, "Brother Su, come with me, there are two houses for sale not far ahead."

As he said, he led the way forward.

It must be said that the little beggars are very familiar with this area. In a short time, they took Su Lin to several places.

In addition to standing on the street to look at these houses, they also learned some things about the owners of the houses from the little beggars.

"Don't look at this place as a little small, but the current owner has passed the imperial examination, and many scholars want to buy it to share the good fortune."

"This place has been sublet, and the residents inside are particularly domineering. They drag their feet and don't pay the rent, but they want to live here for free. If you buy it, you will definitely get into some troubles."

"This house looks good, but Brother Su, don't buy it. Everyone knows that several owners who bought this house have suffered bad luck."

Every time they look at a house, Ercao and his friends can tell something.

Su Lin didn't say anything, but he did have some considerations in his mind.

Some of the houses have been crossed out.

"And this house." Ercao stood in front of a gate. "Aunt Ma is a kind person, but she is unlucky. Her son finally became successful, but he had an accident on the way out of the city. She wanted to sell the house and take the money back to the village to live."

"She is a very kind person and even gave me steamed buns!"

"Some time ago, a bully wanted to occupy Aunt Ma's house, but was driven out by her son's classmates. Brother Su, you don't have to worry about anything. The classmate said that if anyone dares to make trouble again, he will definitely let Those people have a hard time."

"Oh?" Su Lin became interested, "It seems that his classmate is from a prominent family?"

"He is a young master from a noble family, no one dares to offend him. If Aunt Ma didn't want to owe a favor, the young master from a noble family would have wanted to buy this house so that Aunt Ma could take the money back to the village to live in her old age."

After Ercao finished speaking, he quietly looked at the people around him and mentioned casually: "Brother Su can consider this place, not because Aunt Ma is a good person, but..."

He stopped talking halfway.

Su Lin couldn't help but look at him. Although he was small, he was worthy of being a smart person. He could actually understand the deep meaning inside.

Not considering other aspects, if you buy this house, it is very likely that you will have dealings with this young master from a noble family.

If you plan to live in the town, this is indeed a good idea.

Not only can you buy a suitable house, but you can also show your face in front of the young master of the aristocratic family. If there is any trouble in the future, you may have a way out.

Just when I was about to take a good look at this house, the door was opened and several people walked out.

When Su Lin saw one of them, his eyes flashed with surprise. Without thinking, he turned around and hid himself beside the stall.

This is obviously a posture to hide from people.

The little beggars were a little strange, but they did not ask, but hid the person behind them tightly under the instruction of Ercao.

"Then go to the government office tomorrow to pass the documents."

"Okay, I will wait there early tomorrow... Girl, I have lived in this house for more than ten years, and I have more or less some feelings. If possible, please cherish it."

The person who spoke was probably Aunt Ma.

However, after her voice fell, there was no response.

Only the sound of footsteps slowly fading away was heard.

Su Lin turned his head, never expecting to meet her here.

"Aunt Ma, has your house been sold?"

"Are you leaving soon?"

"Aunt Ma, we will miss you. We will definitely visit you in your village when we have the chance in the future."

Aunt Ma was a little disappointed, but when she saw the children coming around, she couldn't help but smile, "Why are you here? Come in quickly, I just happened to be steaming a few steamed buns there."

I was originally planning to take these children over.

Now that I happened to meet them, I thought about taking them in.

Ercao waved his hand, "No, no, I'm taking Brother Su to see the house, and he said he would pay us."

A little beggar couldn't wait, "Half a tael of silver."

Aunt Ma looked at the direction they pointed to and found that it was a kind-looking boy, and she felt a little relieved.

I was afraid that someone was looking for fun with these children and using the reward as an excuse to trick them into doing things.

This kind of thing has happened before.

But I have no power to help them. Even if I want to help them, I can't protect them all the time.

"It's already noon, why don't you come to my house to eat some buns? My own cooking skills are not worth much." Aunt Ma invited.

Su Lin was thinking about asking something, so he politely agreed.

Walking into the gate of the Ma family, he took a quick look inside. I have to say that it is indeed a good house. "Did Aunt Ma sell the house? It turns out that I am still a step late."

"That's really unfortunate. Someone came an hour ago, and I have to go to the government office to transfer the ownership tomorrow." Aunt Ma said, "That person is a friend of my son's classmate. The price is reasonable, so I agreed."

In fact, if there is no such relationship, she might hesitate.

The girl who just came was polite, but from her expression, it can be seen that she is not very satisfied with this house.

Every flower and grass here was planted by her own hands.

She has lived there for more than ten years. If it weren't for the reminder of the past, she really didn't want to sell it.

Especially to someone who doesn't know how to cherish it.

But her son's classmate has helped her so much. With his relationship, it's not easy to refuse the girl just now.

"That's really unfortunate. It would have been better if you could come a few hours earlier." Su Lin regretted it.

"That's not the case." Aunt Ma smiled, "Miss Yin came from the capital and asked someone to find a house to stay in. It was agreed half a month ago."

Miss Yin came from the capital.

Su Lin couldn't help but narrow his eyes. It seems that he didn't make a mistake just now.

After eating buns at Ma's house, he visited several other houses under the guidance of Ercao. It took two or three hours to walk through almost the entire town.

Su Lin felt that his legs didn't feel like his own. They were sore and painful.

But fortunately, this journey was worth it.

The half tael of silver was also worth spending.

Putting half a tael of silver in Ercao's hand, Su Lin said, "Thank you today."

The little beggars' eyes all fell on the silver.

They have never had so much silver in their lives!

Ercao suppressed his excitement and grinned, "Brother Su, if you want to ask something next time, just come to the original place to find us, or tell any beggar my name, and I will find you."

"That's perfect, I have another thing for you to do." Su Lin said, "Do you remember the girl who bought Aunt Ma's house before? Help me find out about her."

Ercao thought for a while: "Just ask a little bit, okay?"

Su Lin nodded, "Be careful, don't let her know."

Ercao agreed, agreed on the time and place to meet again, and took the other companions to bow deeply and left.

After returning home, the invited cook had already served the prepared meals on the table.

Su Jianyi yelled, "Why did you come back so late? I've been waiting for you until my stomach growled."

As he spoke, he handed over the chopsticks, "Hurry up and eat."

The Su family doesn't have the rule of not talking while eating or sleeping. While eating, Bi Qiao told her what happened today, "Thanks to Sister Xi, I've made an appointment with the agent to go and see the house tomorrow."

Su Lin also talked about the houses he liked today, "These places are not bad. The size and location of the house are good. There won't be any other trouble even if the ownership is transferred."

"Oh, it seems that you have gained a lot today." Bi Qiao said.

Su Lin smiled, "We still have to rely on the broker you found to take us inside the house to have a look."

This time he was just going to take a walk outside, and the main thing was whether the house was suitable.

"Okay, stop complimenting me." Su Jianyi rolled his eyes at the two of them.

If you want to say who paid the most, it was him at that time!

Such good weather, such a good place, he couldn't go anywhere, he could only stay at home and read books, he paid a lot for this family!

Su Lin picked up a piece of chicken and put it in his father's bowl, "Dad is tired of reading, you eat more."

Su Jianyi snorted twice, which was considered satisfactory.

"Eat more, you won't feel hungry when reading at night." Su Lin followed and picked up another dish for him.

"..."Su Jianyi couldn't eat anymore.

When he thought about having to continue reading after dinner, he instantly lost his appetite.

But thinking about it again, it is better to read with a full stomach than on an empty stomach, and his appetite was instantly restored.

At this time, Su Lin suddenly said, "By the way, guess who I met today."

"Who?" Bi Qiao looked up. If she could say that, it must be an acquaintance, but who else could she meet here?

Su Lin said, "Yin Huan."
