Chapter 53 53. Ning Xiaoxiu's Submission and Loyalty (Please Read!)

Now, the two sisters Chunzhi and Xiachan have almost gradually formed a customary rule.

Chunzhi is more inclined to serve Ning Mu in his daily life and diet.

Xia Chan was responsible for some chores ordered by Ning Mu, such as packing luggage, contacting the steward Zhang and the two maids Yuzhan and Yuhuan in the backyard, arranging the brewing progress ordered by the young master, collecting the monthly salary and supplies issued by the accounting office, or negotiating with other courtyards, etc.

As for Ning Xiaoxiu, there is no need to mention her.

She is totally a toy.

At least that's the case so far.

"You don't need to bring these tools with you. When we get to Yonghang and buy a house, we can go to the market to buy more of them. We can do it on a larger scale and make them better."

Ning Mu took a look at the list and directly crossed out a series of tools for brewing wine and perfume.

Not only is it worthless, it is also a waste of manpower and resources.

"Ok!"

Xia Chan nodded respectfully, but then she said with some embarrassment: "But, Master, I'm afraid the money to buy a house is not enough... We only have more than twenty taels left in the account of Qiyun Tower..."

Every month, each courtyard belonging to the Ye family can receive a monthly salary based on their status, legitimacy, and distance from the family.

The amount of monthly salary will naturally vary depending on the level of status.

The monthly salary includes silver, dragon blood rice, dragon bone incense leaves and other materials for cultivation.

As for Ning Mu who was in Qiyun Tower, because he was only a direct disciple, and a disciple of Liu Qingmei at that, rather than a member of the Ye family or a direct disciple of the Ye family's direct relatives, he was respectfully called a young master on the surface, but in fact, his monthly salary was only thirty-five taels.

There is only eight taels of dragon blood rice and dragon bone bay leaves, which is only six kilograms a year.

Other cultivation materials are naturally very scarce.

However, in addition to silver, Liu Qingmei had also instructed Liu Xiaoya to allocate a portion of the supplies, dragon blood rice, and dragon bone fragrance leaves directly from Wenshuiju's share to Qiyunlou.

Ning Mu was stunned when he heard Xia Chan's words.

Then he asked, "How much does it cost to rent a house?"

Xia Chan thought for a moment and replied, "Master, it depends on the specific situation. For example, the south of the city is a relatively poor area, and there is not much commercial entertainment, so it is very cheap there. You can rent a house for three taels of silver per month, which is only about four taels per year. The prosperous areas in the east and north of the city are different. Some luxury houses may cost nearly ten taels per month..."

At this point, Xia Chan tilted his head and asked in confusion: "But Master, why don't we live in the mansion? It's spacious and big, with a courtyard, a loft, and a garden, and we don't have to pay for it ourselves."

Ning Mu smiled and said, "Wouldn't it be nice for us to live together alone?"

It's not that he didn't have money to pretend to be rich, but he felt that staying in the Ye family mansion was not right after all.

He was neither a disciple of Cangjian Villa nor a member of the Ye family.

Even if the Ye family members would not say anything for Liu Qingmei's sake, it would still have a bad impact on Liu Qingmei in private!

Moreover, the Ye family mansion is so large that most of the Ye family members who go to Yonghang for business will stay there temporarily.

Not to mention the trouble of welcoming and seeing off people.

When you meet members of the Ye family in the mansion, you have to put on a smile.

If conditions permit, it is of course better to live alone in a courtyard!
"That's good, but we don't have enough money right now..."

Hearing Ning Mu say that they were just our own people, Xia Chan was somewhat moved, her eyes flickered, but then she turned bitter and looked frustrated.

"Don't worry, just rent it for a few months. After a while, the young master will let you count the money until your hands cramp, and then you can buy a bigger one."

Ning Mu reached out and pinched Xia Chan's chubby face, and said to her with a smile.

"Well~ I believe in the young master. How can my hands cramp just from counting money? I'm so happy~" Xia Chan nodded confidently, full of trust in Ning Mu.

It's not that she trusted blindly, but she knew that the wine and perfume that the young master had made in the backyard were definitely good things that could make a lot of money.

As long as you find a way to expand sales, you will definitely make money quickly!
But the problem of how to find a market was not something she could solve.

At this time.

Ning Xiaoxiu, who was under the dining table, suddenly poked her head out, her eyes charming and her face full of flattery, and took the initiative to say: "Master, if you don't mind, I do have a residence in Shunpingfang, east of Yonghang City, but it's not as good as Qiyun Tower. It's a small courtyard with two entrances and two exits. If you don't have a good residence for the time being, you can stay here temporarily, is that okay?"

After saying that, Ning Xiaoxiu looked at Ning Mu expectantly.

"Ok?"

Ning Mu was stunned, and looked down at Ning Xiaoxiu who was fawning on him. He frowned slightly and said, "No one knows where you live?"

There was suspicion in his eyes.

Ning Xiaoxiu's initiative gave him reason to suspect that she wanted to leave him and be rescued by the Blood Lotus Sect!

after all.

As the Holy Maiden of the Blood Lotus Sect, how could the people of the Blood Lotus Sect not know about it when she purchased real estate in Yonghang City?

As long as he moved in with her, Chunzhi and the others, sooner or later the Blood Lotus Church would find that house.

Obviously.

After seeing Ning Mu's gaze, Ning Xiaoxiu also woke up in shock.

She waved her hands hastily and explained bitterly: "No, Master, please don't misunderstand!"

"This house was built by my fifth uncle and I a few years ago... Bah, no! It was built by the Bodhisattva Ruo."

"I bought it when he and I went to Yonghang for training. At that time, he was running Hua Man Pavilion, so he didn't know that I bought this small house. After all, it's just a small house. I bought it on a whim, thinking that I could be alone for a day or two when I had nothing to do, so I didn't tell him."

"Besides, he has died at the hands of the master. There is no way that the Blood Lotus Cult will know about this house!"

"If the master is worried, you can imprison me in the dungeon. I just hope that the master can take care of me every day~"

Ning Xiaoxiu raised her little hand and swore.

She already felt a little regretful for talking too much.

I shouldn't have said it if I had known.

I'll talk to the owner in detail later.

I have just established basic trust and friendship with the owner, but now because of what I said, all the efforts I have made over the past few days may be ruined!
She has truly surrendered sincerely.

Out of enthusiasm and unable to bear seeing the owner in trouble, he revealed all his properties.

Just thinking about doing something for the master.

But he didn't expect that this would go a step further and lead to his master's suspicion of him!
But the words were out, and she could only find a way to make amends.

Ning Mu stared at Ning Xiaoxiu.

I could see that what she said was sincere and her expression and eyes showed that she was really anxious.

Even those almond-shaped eyes, which originally contained deep affection, were now filled with tears of grievance.

She is also a person with normal ideas.

If you do good things and are suspected, you will feel wronged!

And these days, her daily behavior is enough to show her loyalty.

If she really had ulterior motives, then her acting skills were too good!
