"This courtyard, as well as the main room and the side room over there, two quick and agile people will come and clean it for me every three days. I will be paid one tael of silver per month. If the work is done well, there will be a reward."
Xia Yi stood in the courtyard and said to Yapo who was summoned by him: "The lower house will not be occupied in a short time. I will ask the people you send to clean it up once or twice. The money will be calculated separately."
The lady beside him was probably in her thirties, with an upright face. She looked a little embarrassed when she heard this: "Old man, look, your house is not small. I'm afraid it won't be clean enough once every three days. How about..."
"It's okay, I don't care about cleanliness that much."
The second half of Ya Po's words got stuck in her throat. After being a Ya Po for more than ten years, this was the first time she saw someone... being so honest?
"You are joking. Once every three days, you are really making things difficult for me. They are assigned to you, and they have nothing to do for the other two days. No other family would want a servant who cannot go for one day every three days."
Ya Po said again: "If you insist on doing this, at this price...Oh, no, I will risk my life and I can't let you suffer a loss."
"I suggest you buy two handy maids directly from me for only twenty taels of silver. From now on, you only need to feed them and give them a place to live..."
An extremely weak wave of holy soul came.
Xia Yi is a little funny. Are you lying?
He said nothing and watched Ya Po's performance.
It’s not that Zhou Xiaoxian was frightened after hearing about the Holy Spirit of the Bad Rat in Wangjiang Tower yesterday, and today he agreed to Xia Yi’s spending money to hire servants to clean the house. It’s just that today is the opening day of the Holy Academy, and Zhou Xiaoxian went to the Holy Academy early in the morning.
Later, she spent most of her time practicing in the Holy Monastery and had no time to take care of the house's hygiene.
The lonely old Xia Lengbuding was a little uncomfortable with no one around him, so he just wanted to relieve his boredom with this old lady.
…
In the study room of the house next door, a wealthy middle-aged man was bending over his desk to write a few big words, when someone knocked on the door of the study room.
"Come in!"
"Sir." A young man dressed as a servant came into the house with his head slightly lowered and said, "Someone else just entered the yard next door, and it was a toothpa."
"Ya Po?" The middle-aged man's expression changed slightly.
Although the track of the carriage has been laid all over the seven countries, shortening the distance between cities, no matter how fast the carriage is, it is just a carriage. The saying that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors should still be applied in the contemporary era.
The yard next door was sold, and Wang Xun had paid attention to it early in the morning. Logically speaking, the newly moved people should take the initiative to visit the nearby neighbors' homes, but as a result, several days passed, and he still didn't wait.
What's even more exaggerated is that this new neighbor has been living in seclusion all day, but so far, he only knows that an old man and a girl live in the yard next door, and he has never even seen them.
And the only person they interacted with was a young man who was always coming and going in a hurry.
Without taking the initiative to communicate with his neighbor, Wang Xun felt that the neighbor was definitely not a businessman like him.
But being able to live in a big house worth a thousand taels proves that the other person is definitely not an ordinary person. In the Holy Soul Continent, if you encounter someone like this, you will basically be a skilled soul cultivator, a 'master'.
Therefore, Wang Xun had long wanted to take the initiative to visit him, but he was afraid that the other party would be withdrawn. When he heard Ya Po's appearance this time, he immediately cheered up.
"Prepare the gift, we will go there."
After a while, he led a boy holding a gift box to the outside of Xiayi Courtyard. Before knocking on the door, he clearly heard the voices inside.
"According to what you said, it seems quite cost-effective to buy two maids."
"It's cost-effective, of course it's cost-effective."
"Is it okay to take care of food and accommodation? Well, food. In this case, I need a cook. Do you have a good cook there?" Xia Yi said.
"Yes, yes, of course."
"Well, now that we have a maid and a cook, we won't be short of that. Then give me two housekeepers, one who takes care of the flowers and plants, and one who is responsible for purchasing and accounting, right?"
"Yes, yes, yes." Ya Po's voice became lighter, "As for the cooks, I have third-class cooks here, and the nursing home also..."
"Everything is best!"
"Hey! Let me calculate the price for you..."
"Okay, you have to dream first. It seems like we have a guest at my house." Xia Yi said, walking towards the courtyard door with a smile, and opened the door.
"Are you dreaming?" Yapo was confused.
Outside the courtyard gate, Wang Xun was a little embarrassed when facing Xia Yi. He forgot to knock on the door... "I'm sorry, old man. I live next door to you, Wang Xun, and I came to visit you.
I wish you a happy housewarming."
"Wang...Xun?" Xia Yi paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Thank you, please come in."
…
[Xia Yi’s favorability -1]
[Current favorability: 19 (goodwill)]
Wow, it’s been so long since I’ve been there, and this old gay man is unhappy again? So annoying! So annoying!
Occasionally, he was holding his chin with his hands, sitting quietly in a corner in the bustling school, looking out of place. The first-year freshmen were interacting with the second-year old students, and he kept skipping classes. Not to mention getting familiar with the old students, the freshmen didn't even know him.
.
Of course, this cannot stop him as a player from taking the initiative to strike up conversations and look for tasks. What really hinders him is... "What are you looking at?! I appear here. Are you surprised? Are you surprised?"
Feng Mo was stunned for a moment, with a fierce light flashing in his squinted eyes, but looking at Zhou Xiaoxian nearby who was paying attention, he didn't say anything after all.
…
Wang Xun was about to enter the Xiayi Residence when Na Yapo finally reacted and walked over angrily: "Old man, are you kidding me?"
"Yes, I'm just kidding you, what's wrong?"
Xia Yi admitted so happily that Ya Po felt at a loss. After a while, she shouted in a loud voice: "Hey, old man, two maids, one cook, two nurses, one gardener, and one purchaser, a total of 180 taels."
, if you don’t give it today, I will show you where to open the gate of Lieyang City?!”
Yapo's business is just a business of buying and selling people, and there is no good thing about it at all.
"City gates? I remember there are them in four directions. If you can, open a few more. If you can't, don't bark!" Xia Yi said.
Ya Po hesitated, said nothing, and rushed out of the door without even leaving a harsh word, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that she had sent someone away.
Wang Xun, who was standing at the door, froze. When Xia Yi greeted him again, he forced a smile and took the gift from the servant's hand and handed it over.
"Old man, there's no need to go in and sit down. I have things to do at home." He cupped his hands slightly and was about to leave. He hesitated for a moment and then said: "I have heard about Ya Po just now. She is quite famous here in the East Third District.
There are even three-star Tianji cultivators under his command, so he is not easy to mess with."
"You... take care of yourself."
Xia Yi smiled: "I know, thank you for your kindness. I will visit you later."
Wang Xun responded, turned around and left, passing by a thin middle-aged man. When he was about to enter the gate of his courtyard, he sighed softly and whispered to the boy: "I hope that old lady will not hate me too.
What an unlucky person. What a fool. No expert would quarrel with Ya Po..."
"Senior, this is an invitation from the Vice-Chancellor. Please go to the Holy Courtyard tomorrow afternoon to watch the selection of the four young talents and talented ladies."
"Oh? Teacher Hu Jun? Please run some errands. I have received the invitation. If you please inform Vice President Luo Ti, I will arrive on time."
"Senior, you're welcome."
Vice president? Holy Court? Luo Ti?
The sound coming from the next door made his steps suddenly stop. Three keywords flashed through Wang Xun's mind. He suddenly remembered an incident that had been making a lot of noise in Lieyang City a few days ago:
‘Four-star guard commander Lin Gong was attacked and died tragically on the street for no apparent reason, and five-star Jiedu general Shu Hu was seriously injured by an old man’s flying kick!’
"Be eclectic and hide everything." He immediately said, "This is the real master!"
The boy next to him lowered his head and said nothing.
