Outsiders also have golden fingers

Chapter 41
After get off work the next day, Du Zhiqian excused that a friend was having a banquet at Wangxianju in the evening, so he had to return late.

In order to get away, he ordered the coachman and the long follower to go halfway around the city to buy Qingniang's favorite snacks and send them back first, and then came over in a hurry.

In the morning, he was in a hurry to go out to go to court, and Qingniang found fault with some trivial matter. He used to think it was cute and interesting, but now it is extremely annoying.

After a woman becomes a wife and a mother, she should be as virtuous and capable, gentle and considerate as Wanyun.

Instead of being ignorant, unruly, self-willed and indulgent, being a mother, but still looking like a child who can't grow up, it's really unbearable!
Since you can't afford it, you can only hide it.

Wangxianju has an excellent environment and a good location. There are both restaurants and guest rooms. Of course, the price is also high.

There is a hidden door on the side of the restaurant leading directly to the inn, providing convenience for diners and tenants.

Xiaoqin came over early in the morning and asked for a high-end guest room. With the support of the mountain, of course she would not wrong herself.

Besides, the better the environment, the more it can set off her beauty and youth, and it can also make the master love her more.

She has already made up her mind that she must not let the master get her tonight, she must marry (take) her into the house in a serious manner, so as to make him happy.

There's no way, I've read a lot of scriptures, and I know the virtues of men, once I get it, it's not so rare.

Sure enough, under Xiaoqin's playing hard to get, Du Zhiqian became more and more obsessed with her, and the color bestowed on her was no different from before.
But Xiaoqin resolutely refuses to act hastily. With the virtue of the master, if Lu Shi finds out, she will be too scared to want her anymore.

What would she be living on by then?Do you want to marry someone else with a broken body?Or go back to your hometown in despair?She doesn't want it!

After coming to the capital for a month, Xiaoqin already understood that if she wants to survive here, she must either have a backer or property.

The master's backing is not very secure, so he must try to get some property for himself.

Only when the dowry is rich can you find another family. If you don’t want to marry someone and set up a female household, you can live. All you need is a house and money.

She made up her mind, saying that she was a decent concubine, but she was forced to live outside like a concubine, and she was already very wronged.

It doesn't matter if you can't enter the Hou's mansion, if you still live in the rented house, how can you feel safe?

The rented house can only be subsistence, unable to take good care of it, how can she plant flowers all over the yard, make a pot of fragrant tea, and wait for the master to come over to steal half a day of leisure?
Du Zhiqian, who is obsessed with her, thinks it makes sense, but how can a house in the capital be so easy to buy?
I've heard of some superiors and colleagues keeping their outhouses in the east of the city. It's far away from home and the environment is good, so it's not easy to be found.

But he was reluctant to stay so far away, and kept Xiaoqin close to the Yamen and worried about being discovered.

The big house is too expensive and eye-catching, and the small house is too simple and has no garden or courtyard, so it is very embarrassing for a while.

At this time, Ge Wenyuan, who had been observing him for several days, appeared on the stage at the right time and helped him a lot.

It turned out that last year Ge Wenyuan also quietly ransomed a stunning young man. In order to meet each other conveniently, he set up a private house not far from the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry to raise him secretly, and often found time to meet.

He is very fond of this outdoor sexist who is gentle and well-behaved. If his shrewd wife finds out, he will probably never see him again, so he wants to be on the safe side.

He found another house for sale back to back with his private house, the gate was open on another street, and it had been unable to sell because of the high asking price.

It would be very convenient if they were bought together. With a secret door, both sides can go in and out.

But the house in Chang'an is not too far from the yamen, even if it is not big, the price is sky-high.

He had almost used up all his private houses when he bought this house, and he added a maid and wife to support the outer room, so buying another one is really more than he wants but not enough.

What happened to Du Zhiqian immediately made him think that this is an excellent opportunity, the two of them can cover each other, and the two women can also take care of each other.

In case the shrew at home finds out and knocks on the door, he can also run away in time from another place, which is really perfect.

Du Zhiqian was overjoyed, he and Ge Wenyuan were congenial and became confidants, which couldn't be better.

So Ge Wenyuan took him to his private house first, saw the beautiful and artistic young man in the outer room, and thought to himself that this guy has been enjoying it behind everyone's back for so long?

Fortunately, Wanyun sent Xiaoqin, who is equally young, beautiful, and talented, and she does not lose her position in front of others.

She is still infatuated with herself, otherwise what's the point of living?What face do you have in front of your friends?
Then I came to see the back-to-back house, although the price was really high, but it was very satisfactory, so I decided to buy it and put it under Xiaoqin's name.

In less than a month, the house was reorganized and a useful maid was bought.

Du Zhiqian impatiently chose an auspicious day, and under the auspices and witness of Ge Wenyuan, he "married" Xiaoqin as a concubine. Of course, only five people attended the banquet.

After Xiaoqin entered, Xu Da'an went back contentedly with the silver gifted by Du Zhiqian.

Before leaving, Du Zhiqian was worried about leaking the news, so he asked him to go back and tell people that he didn't want to take Xiaoqin as a concubine, and decided to marry Xiaoqin to a businessman from other places as his successor.

These silver coins are dowry gifts, and they will not come back in the future, and have nothing to do with the Du family.

He also told him to keep a low schedule when he went back, and not to go to Beijing without Xiaoqin's personal letter, no matter who picked it up.

After all, I'm still on guard against the Lu family's tricks.

Outsiders only know that General Lu Da is clever and ruthless, but outsiders don't know how ruthless he is, but he knows it all. He has to be afraid and guard against it.

That's why Patriarch Du's second son proposed to adopt Wanyun to Uncle Eleven that night, and he agreed.

The less he takes Wanyun seriously, the safer she and Linger will be.

Since raising the outer room with Mr. Ge, Du Zhiqian's private house money has been spent like flowing water.

Fortunately, his status and status are different now, and he was sent by someone to send him off. He also saved a lot of private houses before, so it is no problem to raise a confidante.

Ge Wenyuan has struggled with his shrewd wife for many years, and he is very cautious and scheming.

Under his advice and teaching, Du Zhiqian also quickly mastered how to deceive Lu Qingniang and conceal his whereabouts, and the two of them actually kept this matter under wraps.

After Xiaoqin knew that Mrs. Ge's concubine was from a brothel, she thought of what she saw in the picture book, so she took the initiative to make friends with her.

Not only did he pester her to learn a lot of talent and beautifying skills, but he also learned some techniques of manipulating men that are kept secret in brothels.

Du Zhiqian became more and more fascinated, and he bestowed all kinds of love on his soul, and the relationship did not fade because the two had been together for a long time.

A pair of close friends and friends raised the outside room together and had fun together. Except that the expenses were a bit high and they were often short of money, their lives were happier than gods.
