On the East Street of the imperial city.
Meng Xingyu led Feng Yuqin and Su Bing into a five - courtyard mansion. The moment she stepped in, Feng Yuqin fell in love with this place.
She especially liked the design of the small bridges and flowing water here, which was exactly in line with her expectations. The space between each courtyard was also very spacious.
Most importantly, this place was not too far from the Prime Minister's Mansion. It would be much more convenient for her to do things in the future. So she was very satisfied with this mansion, in every aspect.
Even Xiaoying and Xiaojin, her two beast pets, liked this kind of courtyard. Although they basically wouldn't come out to live here, just looking at the design made one feel good.
Meng Xingyu could tell from Feng Yuqin's expression that she was satisfied with this place. He felt relieved. As long as his benefactor was satisfied, that was good.
"Su Bing, go and bring all the people from the inn here." Feng Yuqin said to Su Bing who was standing not far away.
"Yes, mistress." Su Bing replied respectfully.
Seeing Su Bing leave, Meng Xingyu guessed that the people in the inn might be those Feng Yuqin had brought from her own family.
"This courtyard should have just been vacated, right?" Feng Yuqin asked after taking a stroll around.
Meng Xingyu nodded. "Yes. The previous owner of this mansion was a businessman. He was framed and went bankrupt. He just moved out less than two months ago. The inside is still in good condition. So if you want to move in, you just need to buy some daily necessities and you can move in immediately. If you need to buy anything else and you don't have enough manpower, I can arrange some people to help." Meng Xingyu said seriously.
"No need." Feng Yuqin waved her hand. "Just arrange some people for me at the shop. Then ask someone to report the cost to me. I'll arrange people to deal with the affairs of this mansion myself."
Meng Xingyu originally wanted to say that they could cover the expenses, but seeing that Feng Yuqin wasn't very willing, he didn't mention it. Instead, he tried to get closer to her by talking about other things. "Miss, an auction will be held in the auction house here in a few days. Our Meng family has a VIP box in the auction house and can get the list of auction items in advance. I wonder if the miss is interested?"
Feng Yuqin gave Meng Xingyu a helpless look. "Actually, you don't need to talk to me so formally. I don't really like it."
Hearing this, Meng Xingyu's eyes lit up, and then he laughed heartily. "That's great. I don't like it either. But my grandfather is the Grand Commandant, so I have to be more careful outside. After all, as a child of the Meng family, I have to give my grandfather some face, right?"
Feng Yuqin smiled. "That's true. Then when will the list of the auction house be available? I'll see if there's anything I'm interested in. Or you can tell me the rules of the auction house. Maybe I also have some things to auction to get some silver to spend."
Seeing that Feng Yuqin was interested, Meng Xingyu immediately told her everything he knew without any reservation.
Although Meng Xingyu was usually a carefree person, he was also very good at judging people. Almost at the first sight of Feng Yuqin, he thought she was definitely a reliable person.
With the contact during this period, his good impression of Feng Yuqin had risen sharply. So he really told her everything he knew.
After listening to Meng Xingyu's explanations, Feng Yuqin had a general understanding in her mind.
The previous Feng Yuqin had really had a very narrow circle of contacts. She didn't know a lot of things.
Now seeing that Meng Xingyu was willing to tell her these things, she asked a few more questions.
After Meng Xingyu finished speaking, he looked at Feng Yuqin in surprise and asked, "Miss, are you not a local?"
She didn't seem to know a lot of things.
"I'm a local. It's just that I'm quite a homebody. I almost never go out, so I don't know a lot of things outside. Now I want to come out and do something, so I'm looking for a shop." After Feng Yuqin finished speaking, she continued, "My name is Qin Yu. Just call me Qin Yu."
Qin Yu. Reversing Yuqin would be Qinyu, which was a homophone of Qin Yu.
"Okay, I'll call you Qin Yu. But if you're coming out to do business, just looking for a shop is enough. Why are you looking for a mansion?" After getting familiar with Feng Yuqin, Meng Xingyu asked questions more casually.
At the same time, Meng Xingyu was also thinking in his mind that there was no large family surnamed Qin in the imperial city.
Finally, he found that there was no large Qin family in the imperial city. He would have to go back and ask Uncle Hong about those in the outer city.
Meng Xingyu thought that since Feng Yuqin could take out the Five - Revolving Mysterious Yuan Pill, she definitely couldn't be from a small family.
Feng Yuqin had a good impression of him, so she patiently explained. "Of course it's to recruit people. So don't let anyone know that it was me who bought this mansion."
If it were someone else, she wouldn't have given such an instruction.
But she knew that her identity would surely be exposed one day. By then, the people of the Meng family would know that the person they had contacted before was the so - called useless legitimate eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion in the whole imperial city.
"You can rest assured on this point. As long as it's something you've told me, I'll definitely do it." After Meng Xingyu finished speaking, he took out the deed and handed it to Feng Yuqin.
After handing the deed to Feng Yuqin, Meng Xingyu left reluctantly.
And Su Bing also brought back those people from the inn.
Today, Feng Yuqin had bought fifteen people including Su Bing in the slave market.
Among the fifteen people, there were seven men and eight women. Now they were all standing in front of Feng Yuqin.
Feng Yuqin was sitting in front of a chair, looking at everyone lazily.
Although she was sitting, her imposing manner couldn't be ignored.
Feng Yuqin scrutinized the people in front of her. She saw different emotions in their eyes.
There was uneasiness, nervousness, fear, panic, expectation, ambition, perseverance and stubbornness.
She knew that these people's emotions were related to their experiences. She didn't care about their past experiences. She only needed to care about what choices these people would make in the future.
"Su Bing." Feng Yuqin said faintly.
"Mistress, this servant is here." Su Bing stepped out of the line and saluted respectfully.
"These are the arrangements I've just listed. For now, you'll be in charge of arranging the things I need to do." The list Feng Yuqin took out contained quite a lot of things.
One of them was related to her bet. On the way here to the mansion, she had heard some things about herself, all of which were bad remarks.
Meng Xingyu didn't know her identity, so he didn't take it seriously. But she herself took it to heart.
If she guessed correctly, her scumbag father and the second wife had already taken action. They must be using these things to get Ji Wenjie out and at the same time ruin her reputation.
"Come here." Feng Yuqin pointed to the man who had a feud with Xia Yujia before.
The man walked up to Feng Yuqin with a cold expression. The strong hostility in his eyes was too much for an ordinary person to look at directly.
Feng Yuqin gave him a faint look and asked, "What's your name?"
