    After Dalang arrived in Beijing, he had been living in a small house under the name of Sister Xie, although the Xie family had specially arranged several servants for him to take care of his daily life.  But this was definitely not a long-term solution, so Dalang asked the housekeeper to help him find a suitable house.

    "Mr. Chen, how big do you plan to buy?" Butler Xie asked in a very respectful tone.

    Dalang coughed a few times and felt a little embarrassed. He thanked the housekeeper for calling him "sir" and said, "You should call me Dalang."

    Butler Xie smiled and said: "Etiquette must not be broken. When there is no one around, we can be as casual as before, but when there are people around, I have to do the same. It's better to do it right from the beginning and get used to it slowly."  .¡±

    In fact, although he is still the steward of the Xie family, he has actually been a good citizen for a long time. Even his son Xie Wu and nephew Xie Qi are low-ranking officials.  He is secretly known as the butler of the Xie family, but he manages a lot of things. Basically, he is still taking care of all the affairs of the Xie family.  Because Mr. Xie actually doesn¡¯t have many confidants in Beijing.  Those who can safely use them are still old people.  If Butler Xie doesn't help him, he really can't take care of it.

    After all, the Xie family left Kyoto for many years before returning. The servants who used to be handy back then had long since died and dispersed. The situation in the capital was too complicated, and they did not dare to trust people casually. The choice of servants had to be  Be very careful.

    "I have three thousand taels of silver and one hundred taels of gold that the emperor rewarded me with. How big can I buy?" Dalang asked.

    In fact, his net worth is more than that. He has been fighting outside in the past few years. How can he not accumulate some good things through praise? Besides, he is also a direct descendant of King Yan, so he is really not short of money.  It's just that I don't dare to take it out casually.

    "Three entrances should be enough. Do you have any other requirements, such as the location, the condition of the house, etc." Butler Xie asked again.

    "For a low-level official like me, I definitely can't live in the best location. It's up to you to find a place that matches my status, or a place that's a little bit more remote. As long as it's quieter. The house doesn't look old at all.  It doesn't matter too much, as long as people can live inside, it will be fine with a little repair. In addition, it would be better if the yard is bigger." Dalang put forward his request.

    "Do you want a back garden?" Butler Xie asked again.

    "Forget about the garden. The yard is bigger, mainly for the convenience of moving your hands and feet." Dalang said.  As for the garden, it is not easy for a young official like him to have a large house of his own in Beijing. If he has a garden, running water, rockery, etc., wouldn't it give people an excuse?

    Butler Xie understood his request and said: "I'll go see them first and select two or three for you to check out for yourself before making a decision. By the way, I'll help you buy a few servants to train 8 first. Always.  If you can¡¯t do it then, you can live alone.¡±

    "Thank you very much." Dalang nodded, thanked him, and sent the butler off in person.  The selection of servants is indeed a very important matter. After all, these servants will be responsible for his daily life in the future, and they need to be absolutely reliable.

    Butler Xie worked very quickly. Within ten days, he picked three places for him, all three in size and with yards.  Houses differ in location, old and new, and the size of the yard.

    Dalang took some time to look at them all, and finally spent six thousand taels of silver to buy the farthest house.  Although the location is a bit remote, the environment here is still very good, and the neighbors are all well-known people. The most important thing is that it is close to where he works.  It's very convenient to get around and you don't have to travel too far.

    ¡°And this house was just renovated the year before last, so it¡¯s still new inside and out, so the price is a little expensive.  However, since the original owner no longer came back, some of the bulky furniture in the house was no longer needed, but there were still many useful things left behind.

    Dalang was very satisfied, and he didn¡¯t have time to buy it again.  He just hoped that he could find a place to settle down immediately.  There were fairly neat furniture in the house, and he only needed to carry his luggage to move in, and then he had his own new home.  He couldn't ask Butler Xie to help with everything. After all, Butler Xie was not very busy now and had a lot to do.

    Because Xie Shuer is going to reunite with Jiang Dashan, this has been approved by the emperor.  But Xie Shuer's son had to stay in Beijing and be raised by the Xie family.  Xie Shu'er is extremely busy now. She has to bring a lot of things, but she can't let go of her son.  In fact, everything in her family was taken care of by the Xie family, and she even lived with her son at the Xie family most of the time.

    So Butler Xie has a lot of things to take care of.  Not to mention the families of Xie Wu and Xie Qi, his own son and nephew's family.  Butler Xie is still in charge of the homes of Mr. Xie's two brothers and sisters, and now he has an additional family, Da Lang, who is really busy.The power will be wider, which will be beneficial to Dalang and the others.

    Dalang continued to read the letter, and finally handed it to Butler Xie and said, "You should also take a look. Luwei Village has changed a lot now."

    Butler Xie quickly took the letter and said, "Then I won't be polite. Oh, this County Magistrate An is really a character." While reading the letter, Butler Xie kept praising An Xiuyuan for the many things he had done.  All expressed their appreciation.

    This letter was written by Ping'er, and he wrote about several major events in great detail.  Although Xie Shuer also communicated with Xin Hu in normal times, the woman's focus was different.  Although everyone knows about the changes in Luwei Village, what we learned from Xin Hu's writings is that the emphasis in Heping'er's writings is really different.  In the past, Xinhu had only mentioned it briefly, and they had not understood at all that such a big change had taken place in Qingyuan County. It would be an understatement to say that it was earth-shaking.

    "You take this letter back." Dalang said, meaning to take it back and show it to Mr. Xie.

    Butler Xie nodded, collected the letter solemnly, and said, "You still have to add a lot of servants here. Should you wait until Ah Hu and the others are brought over, or should you pick some and bring them back first and use them slowly?"

    Dalang pondered for a moment and said, "Let's wait for a while." He had not yet decided when to pick up Xinhu and the others.  Because Beijing is really not at peace now, there are too many things going on.  He had to wait until he had truly established his footing before he could pick them up.

    ¡°And Ping¡¯er also mentioned Xiao Shitou in his letter. If the Chen family leaves Luwei Village, only the Zhang family will be left.  Xiao Shitou and Ping'er grew up together and went out together. Thinking of the friendship between the Zhang family and their family, he didn't know what to do.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
