other said to the hunchbacked old woman, "Do you have anything for elderly people"I let out a breath of relief, so it was for grandpa to buy...At this age, grandpa's love is just a continuation of war...In front of me is a Siheyuan, not far behind the Imperial City. It looks quite simple.

We are from the South and don't quite understand Northern customs, but looking at the two stone drum door piers in front of the Siheyuan gate, we can still guess that this house used to be inhabited by people of status.

Even with his identity, it was a past memory. This old house belonged to Grandpa when he was young. A friend entrusted it to him, with deeds and land titles. During the founding of the nation, Grandpa even came here for a while and took care of all the paperwork for the house.

Therefore, this house currently belongs to the Mu family's assets. These assets need to be gathered piece by piece under my brother's name, and the project is quite substantial.

The old master knew we were coming to the imperial capital and arranged for someone to pick us up. The Mu family doesn't have any business here, but they have old friends who they've worked with before.

My brother gradually took over these human resources and assets, inevitably causing envy among the family.

However, the head of the family is still the head of the family. The financial power must be firmly in his hands, and he also has to make money to support a whole family of people. Every year, each member of the family receives a certain percentage of dividends, thus maintaining a family.

Our greeter was named Suo, a man in his fifties with a short buzz cut and a few strands of white hair.

He opened his mouth and spoke in a thick Imperial capital accent. I called him Uncle So, and he shivered with goosebumps all over, laughing and saying: "Miss, you southern girls are so soft and sweet; just listening to you makes my bones melt. Do you know how to address someone here Call me Grandpa, Grandpa So."

I frowned, repeating in puzzlement, "Grandpa"

Perhaps it was my high-pitched tone that made him laugh uncontrollably, shaking his head and saying, "Oh my, I can't take it! Miss, you are such a charming person, you could squeeze out water droplets! You call this big guy... pfft... Don't you know that raising your voice at the end is not how you should address someone Raising your tone like that is what maids do."

That's so much trouble!

I closed my mouth and said nothing.

My brother chimed in, "Come on, Lao Su, don't act your age. You're flirting with my sister."

"Oh my dear young master, Master of the house, how dare I! Although my surname is So, I've been living off the generosity of the Mu family for twenty years. How could I possibly disrespect Miss It was just a joke, you two mustn't take it to heart... Miss, please don't be angry. Old So is a grateful person, I will definitely serve you both well."

I have never been far from home. I stayed in my hometown for sixteen years and worked in a small shop for three years. My social experience is limited, and my understanding of customs and people is very superficial.

I noticed that Lao Su had a sharp tongue and an air of natural swagger and arrogance. I couldn't help but ask, "Are all the people under the emperor's feet this quick-witted"

He burst into laughter. "Miss, you've hit the nail on the head. We commoners are nothing but paupers under the emperor's rule. We may not possess any great skills, but we can sit at the alley entrance and boast all day long without a break!"

"Huh " I widened my eyes, Is this self-deprecation Why are they so proud of it

"Hee hee, I haven't got my gear on yet. Wait until I change into my white coat and shorts, carrying a big fan and water cup, then that would be enough to keep you cool for three days!"

"Alright, alright! Do you plan on having us stand here at the front door waiting for you to blow three days" My brother impatiently interrupted him.

He grinned and handed us the keys to open the door.

My first feeling is that it's so small.

However, in this prime real estate location, it's already considered a mansion.

Upon entering, there is a screen wall. To one side, a corridor leads to the study, guest room, and common restroom.

Turning into the courtyard, there were a few trees like Chinese fragrant olive and crape myrtle, as well as stone tables and benches.

The main hall is flanked by two side rooms on either side, and there are also east and west wing rooms, a kitchen... Although small, the courtyard has all five basic elements.

"The inside has long been renovated, with air conditioning and a 3D bathroom added in. If it weren't for the old man's orders not to use it commercially, I could rent it out for over ten thousand a month…" Lao Su started rambling again.

The house was well-maintained, it's clear Lao Su took great care of it.

At this time of autumn, the osmanthus tree is fragrant, adding much charm to this old house.

Lao Sao is a shrewd person. He saw my expression and smiled, "How is it, Miss Are you satisfied Let me tell you, with such cleanliness, complete equipment, and beautiful and serene courtyard, it could be a tourist attraction! It's just that the old master wouldn't let it. This is an inheritance from his old friend."

"Well, thank you for taking such good care of him." I nodded at him.

He was taken aback: "Don't mention it, this is what I should do. The Mu family raised me for twenty years. If you need anything, just tell me and I'll go buy it! If the two of you prefer peace and quiet, I won't live here to serve you. If you need someone to take care of you, I'll stay in the guest room."

Lao Su's tongue was slick, but he didn't seem like a bad person. When he talked about Mu's family and the old master, he looked sincere. My brother nodded and said, "You can stay here. In a few days, my grandmother will be bringing the children over. When the whole family is here, we'll need your help."

Okay, you got it!

This is the foundation of the Lin family's business, and when Lin Yanhuan and Lin Yanqin returned, they were so busy that they couldn't even take a break. It took them three days to deal with the family gathering.

Lin Yanhuan, because he was in charge of the financial power, went to our place in a low-key and cautious manner to develop. This trip back was also because the power shift at the top had already begun.

The ominous star shines brightly, and the cycle of sixty revolutions coincides with the transfer of power.

This is a bloodless arena.

When Lin Yanqin arrived at our old house, she couldn't stop exclaiming: “It's really great, this is worth at least 80 million, and it can't even be traded.”

"Xiao Qiao, I got a job for you guys, you absolutely can't refuse!" she made a pitiful face at me.

"Huh We weren't planning on taking commissions here..." I shook my head.

Her eyes sparkled as she said, "Don't push me away! Are you an idiot If you can handle this, I'll have my aunt's support in the family!"

"What do you mean" I looked at this clever yet naive young lady.

"That is... my aunt holds a lot of weight within the family. She owns a commercial building that's always struggling, and it's supposedly haunted! It's been quite troublesome, but because of my father's status, no one dares to hire a Taoist priest to handle it. But I'm insignificant in the family... I wanted to secretly ask you guys to help with this... If, if things go well, she might support me and..."

Would you support me dating my brother

"Alright, I'm definitely on this one!" I nodded quickly.

My brother pushed open the door and asked, "What's with taking on this mission, Xiao Qiao Don't get yourself into trouble! We just arrived and need to keep a low profile! You still have to wait for the audience with the mysterious Grand Elder. Don't cause any accidents!"

"But this is Lin Yanqin's aunt's affair, Aunt Lin favors you a lot, brother." I smiled.

"...."
