Myth: Heaven and Earth

Chapter 29 Settlement
The carriage is the kind with two wheels.

Lu Heng rode on the carriage to guide the way.

Old Man Li said, "Young master came quickly, but the old slave only arrived four days early. The house was just finished the day before yesterday, and in Pingkangfang, the furniture was ordered yesterday. Brother Zhu left for the south this morning."

They were slightly faster than Lu Heng, and they didn't encounter any trouble on the way.Very smooth to the capital.Zhu Dachui helped Old Man Li to finish what Lu Heng explained, and he just left this morning.

Lu Hengruo arrived half a day early to meet Zhu Dachui.

Old man Li added: "I sent Brother Zhu away in the morning, and the old slave went to the market to buy a few maids and wives. The yard in Pingkangfang is not small and needs to be taken care of."

He pointed to the stone again: "This kid sold his body to bury his mother. The old slave saw him as pitiful and bought him too."

Along the way, Old Man Li was meticulous about everything and explained everything clearly.

When he got there, he picked up Jiu'er and Gong Er, hid a cold iron spear under the carriage, and with the happy expression of the owner of the dwelling, returned to the city gate and walked away.

There was no difficulty in entering the city.The few corners of silver that were broken before were not insignificant.Greeted when entering the door.

This is the capital after all, and there are many big people who come and go, so the doormen of this place are much more restrained than small places, such as Shanhaiguan.

After entering the city, I walked around in various directions, passing through several streets and alleys, and came to the so-called Pingkangfang.

The house that Old Man Li bought was in this alley.

The surrounding area is also clean, and this place does not seem to be a neighborhood where civilians live together.

Old man Li opened the door and said to Lu Heng, "Fang Yazi said that this mansion used to be the mansion of a fourth-rank official. The official returned to his hometown and wanted to sell the house back to his hometown. The old slave saw that the young master had enough money, so he Bought it."

He added: "It's a bit more expensive, but Pingkangfang is mostly the residence of officials and wealthy businessmen, and it is more stable than most squares."

Lu Heng smiled and said, "It's good."

Lu Heng was quite satisfied.Clean, safe, naturally the best.Money is not a problem, Lu Heng is not bad.There is still a pocket of more than [-] catties of gold in the backpack!

Old man Li did things neatly.

The area of ​​the house is not small. The front yard, the back hall, and the left and right wing rooms add up to seventeen or eight rooms.

He called the newly bought maid and wife together again to recognize Lu Heng as the master.

There are four maidservants, all young girls about twelve or thirteen years old, dry and thin, and a gust of wind can blow over a piece of land; there are two women, about four or fifty years old, who specialize in kitchen work.

In addition, there are stone, old man Li, grandson and grandson.

Lu Heng asked Old Man Li to be the housekeeper, and set a monthly salary. Jiu'er and Gong Er were divided into maids. Shi Shi usually looked after the door and did chores, and the two women cooked and did laundry.

Jiu'er and Gong Er each picked a room in the backyard.

Liang Jiu'er was very excited. The Gong family lived for three days. Although it wasn't bad, it wasn't her own home.This is your home.

Gong Er doesn't matter, she is well-informed.

Lu Heng walked around the house, planning to transform the backyard into a martial arts field.Let Old Man Li and Shishi prepare.

In the blink of an eye, the evening came, and the two old ladies prepared their meals.Lu Heng and Jiu'er and Gong Er ate in the house, while the others ate in the kitchen.

Although Lu Heng didn't set any rules, Old Man Li was a clean man.

At the dinner table, Liang Jiu'er served Gong Er while eating, and said, "Second sister, eat more."

Then he said to Lu Heng, "Didn't all the maids in the family buy it, why do they still need to pay salary?"

He added: "The maids and servants bought by the big households in Qingshankou are not like this."

Gong Er laughed: "That's what a big family. Sister Liang, the servant girl of the Gong family also bought it, but my father still pays the salary. If you don't give it to them, it will cause an accident."

Lu Heng nodded: "I'm not very comfortable with this business girl. How can people use it for business? It's just the way the world is. If you buy it, you buy it, but people are not livestock, I just take them as hired ones. , the hired person will naturally have to pay the salary.”

He added, "Jiu'er, you can't help but treat them as human beings in the future."

Jiu'er rolled her eyes: "Where can I do it? I bought it from your family."

Lu Heng shook his head: "This servant girl is also a member of the family, so you can't be too harsh. How you treat people, how people can treat you. Too harsh, too fierce, and you will be detached. At that time, the family will not be able to hide any secrets. "

After eating, Lu Heng walked around with Gong Er and Jiu'er, and looked at the weather in Pingkangfang.When I got home, it was already dark.

Gong Er and Jiu'er went to rest on their own, while Lu Heng lit an oil lamp in his room and pondered the book of the Hundred Steps Flying Sword.

There are many Dharma doors here that cannot be used because the conditions are not met, but some can be used.In particular, the method of visualizing the existence of God is the most important.

Lu Heng's spirit became more and more sensitive after Lu Heng's boxing intent was deep into his bones.After the battle of Heilongdong, I read some of the Shaman's books, and when I looked back, I thought of the method of visualizing the spirit in the booklet of the Hundred-step Flying Sword that my master passed on to him.

During the few days that Lu Heng was in the Zhu family, he had already tried the method of saving God, and he felt that it was quite effective.Meditate for two hours every day to reduce distracting thoughts and save minds. Every time I finish my work, I feel refreshed and I feel a lot of gain.

However, there is something mysterious and mysterious in this place where there is magic, and Lu Heng still can't fully understand it.

As the so-called reading a hundred times is his own opinion, Lu Heng has no other way, the master is gone, no one can teach him, he can only read the method in the booklet over and over again to deepen his understanding.

Just as he was about to rest after turning off the lights, the door quietly opened and Jiu'er slipped in, speechless all night.

In the next few days, Lu Heng did nothing.

Just settled down, not suitable for any action.And the capital is unfamiliar, so you have to be familiar with it first, and care about it.

This time he came, it was a black eye.

No matter what you do, there must be a calculation in advance.Recklessly going straight up, unless Lu Heng has the ability to suppress everything, he will be killing himself.

This afternoon, Lu Heng asked Shitou to drive him out of the house. He walked through the streets and alleys and stopped in front of a large mansion.

Lu Heng jumped out of the carriage, glanced at the house, and said to Shi Shi, "Go back."

Stone said: "Don't you need to wait for the young master?"

Lu Heng shook his head: "No need."

After sending the stone away, Lu Heng stood in front of the house and looked carefully with his hands behind his back.It is indeed a high-profile family. The front door and the side door are triple-folded. There is a plaque on the door with the word 'white house' written on it.

The porter had already noticed him.

It was a bald young man with angular features, tall and slender, wearing a plain robe, and carrying a gift box in his hand.

Can't help but come up and ask: "What's the matter with you?"

Lu Heng smiled and said, "Is this the Bai family?"

"It's the Bai family." The doorman said, "The Bai family in the Baicao Hall."

Lu Heng nodded: "Is the master Bai Mengtang?"

The concierge was surprised and said, "The second grandma is in charge at the moment, and the old man is gone."

Lu Heng was stunned for a moment: "Not anymore?"

He took a light breath: "It's good that the Bai family is on the left and right. If you go to report, it will be said that Lu Heng from the Lu family in the northeast is visiting."

The doorman said, "Please wait a moment."

Lu Heng came here for no reason.
