The brig docked and arrived at the pier in Pingyang County.
Xu Lian led everyone off the boat.
Looking at the magnificent city wall that stretched across the land like the body of a black dragon, all the girls except Xu Lian, Jiang Yunyan and Patriarch Pei were truly shocked. They opened their eyes wide, as if they had never seen the world before... They really hadn't seen it before, and this was their first time leaving Green Bamboo Town.
Wang Cuiyun said with a smile, "All the stones from the quarry in Lvzhu Town are piled up here."
"In fact, not only in Lvzhu Town, but also in other towns, the stones from the quarries were transported to the county town to build city walls and houses."
Xu Lian rented more than ten horse-drawn carriages and headed towards the city gate in a mighty procession.
Arrived at the city gate.
There was a long queue.
At this time, it was almost dusk and if they didn't enter the city, the city gate would be closed, so there were a lot of people.
While waiting, Xu Lian lifted the car curtain and took a look.
One of the soldiers had sharp eyes and noticed Xu Lian in the carriage, and whispered something to the captain of the soldiers.
The captain's face changed. He ordered the soldiers to drive away the crowd and forcibly clear a passage. Then, he ran to Xu Lian's carriage, bowed and saluted, and with an apologetic smile, invited Xu Lian's convoy to enter the city first.
Wang Cuiyun was surprised. "Lian'er has become famous in the county. Even the county officers and soldiers are willing to give him face."
Except for Jiang Yunyan, everyone else was also surprised. They didn't expect Xu Lian to be so popular in the county.
"This old lady doesn't know that Manager Xu is more than just a famous figure. Manager Xu is just this in Pingyang County."
The captain of the officers and soldiers smiled and gave a thumbs-up in flattery, "If he considers himself second, no one will dare to claim to be first."
Everyone was confused. Does this mean that Xu Lian is the leader of the county
"Let's go."
Xu Lian lowered the car curtain. The flattery was too blunt and he couldn't stand it.
The captain of the officers and soldiers made way.
After the convoy entered the city, the ladies opened the curtains one after another and looked at the bustling streets with people coming and going. They felt a little dazed, as if they had come to a dreamland. Only then did they remember that there were no night watchmen here and they could go out shopping at night.
The girls were all happy and excited, because this meant that they no longer had to be trapped in the house every day and could go out at night. Of course, they were also a little nervous, because they were afraid of the world outside the house.
So they have very complicated emotions, fearful and wanting... yearning for the world outside the house but also afraid of it.
Xu Lian saw through their thoughts and said, "It's okay. You can go out shopping at night without any worries. If anyone bullies you, you can report me. Of course, you just don't use my name to bully others."
The girls thanked Xu Lian happily.
Xu Lian stopped the convoy in a busy area on Fourth Street. He bought a storefront on the spot to be used as Lichunfang.
Aunt Fang's eyes flickered, and she smiled shrewdly, "This Lichunfang will be jointly owned by Manager Xu, Chuntao and me from now on. What do you think, Manager Xu?"
Obviously, this was to allow Xu Lian to be the boss. Xu Lian did not refuse, "Okay."
Chun Tao looked at Xu Lian with gratitude. This man had done so much for her. "Manager Xu, I will definitely work hard to become an oiran and not let you down."
Is it possible that she has already been chosen as the oiran without any effort... Xu Lian nodded, "Yes."
After Chuntao, Aunt Fang and the girls from Lichunfang were settled, the rest of the convoy left from Fourth Street and headed towards First Street.
Arrived at First Street.
The gate of the barrier.
Xu Lian led everyone out of the car.
The guards saluted Xu Lian one after another.
Xu Lian led everyone straight in without checking any identities. He was the manager of the First Street, so what else was there to check
Come to the area of Class A houses.
Xu Lian brought the head of the Pei family, the mother of the Pei family, and several illegitimate children to the house No. 2, which was the house he allocated to the little hot pepper Pei Zhaoxi;
Jiang Yunyan went to house No. 4 by herself, which was the house he gave to Xiao Xixi.
Xu Lian took the remaining Wang Cuiyun, Caixia, Yu Qingning and Miao Yueyue with him to House No. 5, Jiazi, which was his own house.
So far.
The move is complete.
All the women were settled.
Xu Lian breathed a sigh of relief. He was in a good mood. From now on, he would go to whoever he missed and steadily cultivate their favor.
The secret to improving favorability is to prepare for individual needs. The big pot has been proven to be ineffective.
House No. 5, Jiazi.
Xu Lian, Wang Cuiyun, Caixia, Yu Qingning and Miao Yueyue had dinner together.
Xu Lian started visiting friends and relatives.
On this day, he went to House No. 2, Jiazi, which is the Pei family. No matter how many female confidantes he has, the little hot pepper Pei Zhaoxi is always a very special one. It can be said that she is the one he likes most in his heart besides Sister Xiya.
He and the hot pepper Pei Zhaoxi originally disliked each other, but once they liked each other, their feelings were very strong.
"Husband."
Seeing Xu Lian coming to visit, Pei Zhaoxi trotted over happily to greet him. When the houses were divided, Xu Lian gave it to her first. Now that he came back from Luzhu Town, he was also the first one to look for her, which made her more certain of her position in Xu Lian's heart. Apart from Li Xiya, she was the only one here. Now that Li Xiya was not here, her position was the highest.
Xu Lian picked her up and asked, "Did Zhao Xi miss me?"
Pei Zhaoxi blushed and said, "I want to."
Xu Lian took her hand and took her out to the night market.
Coming back from the night market.
So he stayed in House No. 5, Type A.
The head of the Pei family and the mother of the Pei family were very pleased. They could see that Zhaoxi was very favored by Xu Lian and the couple had a good relationship.
The next day.
Xu Lian got what he wanted and received a favorability reminder.
Note: Pei Zhaoxi's favorability towards you has increased from 91/100 to 92/100. You have gained an advancement point. You can choose one of the following: rank, skill, or item to increase the point.
He immediately added points to the rank, added the raw material of arthropod grass, and completed the advancement.
Name: Xu Lian
Level: Fourth level of Huajin period
Skills: Holy Spirit Atlas (Complete Edition), Wind-Breaking Sword Technique (Volumes 123), Seven Styles of Xian Gang (Complete Edition), Short Fighting - Chasing Shadows
Props: Sword of Destruction (not worn)
Xu Lian got up and washed.
Come to the dining room.
Having breakfast with the head of the Pei family, Pei Heng, the mother of the Pei family, and several illegitimate sons and daughters.
If it were Peijiazhuang in Luzhu Town, illegitimate sons and daughters would not be qualified to eat at the table, but here, where every inch of land is worth a lot of money, there is no such a big deal.
Patriarch Pei told Xu Lian about the arrangement of the No. 2 A spiritual house. "Your mother-in-law and I will have one room, Heng'er and a few concubines will have one room, Zhaoxi and you will have one room, and the other rooms will be vacant and rented out for spiritual stones. What do you think, my dear son-in-law?"
Pei Heng had a depressed look on his face. As a legitimate son, he really didn't want to share a room with illegitimate sons and daughters. However, when he thought about the rent of a room being six or seven spirit stones a day, if he had a room to himself, it would be equivalent to consuming six or seven spirit stones every day, two hundred spirit stones a month, and more than two thousand spirit stones a year... He felt so heartbroken that he didn't say anything.
Xu Lian just smiled and didn't say anything. "This is already the Pei family's house. You don't need to ask me how to arrange it."
Several illegitimate sons and daughters were busy eating, and had no objections. They were very excited in their hearts. The concentration of spirituality here was too high. If they became practitioners in the future, they would definitely be able to change their status in the family and no longer have the fate of illegitimate sons and daughters.
After finishing breakfast, Xu Lian left House No. 2, went out of the First Street and went to the government office.
The White Fox Garrison Commander asked him to be responsible for supervising the execution of those who caused chaos from various forces and the remnants of demons and monsters, and to establish his prestige as the person in charge of the First Street. In fact, he did not want to be in the limelight, but once one sits in this position, he still has to take the responsibility and it is impossible for him to hide behind the White Fox Garrison Commander forever.
