Siheyuan: Starting with one acre and three fen of land

"Mysterious?" He Yuzhu narrowed his eyes, "Xue Ru, don't go to him alone in the future. I'll ask someone to check him out. This way it's safer."

Chen Xueru heard this and thought about it carefully. She felt a little scared and patted her chest: "Don't scare me."

He Yuzhu consoled him, "This is the capital city, and there are all kinds of people here. I'll ask my senior brother to find out more about it, and maybe there will be some unexpected gains."

Chen Xueru felt warm at heart when she heard this, and looked at him gratefully: "Okay, I'll leave it to you. If you can help me get it done, I will definitely thank you very much!"

She couldn't help laughing when she saw the smug smile on He Yuzhu's face.

Chen Xueru reached out and grabbed a pillow and threw it at him: "What are you thinking about? I'm talking about opening a bottle of good wine. Please try some foreign wine."

He Yuzhu caught the pillow with agility and looked at her with a smile: "Okay, I'll wait for your good wine."

He Yuzhu took out his pocket watch and checked the time.

He looked at Chen Xueru across from him: "Xueru, are you going back to the store? I still have to go to Master's house."

Chen Xueru lay on the back of the sofa, slowly opened her eyes, waved her hand, and said lazily: "I won't go back today, Lao Zhang is watching over the store."

"Okay, Yu Shui and I will leave first and come back next time!" He Yuzhu stood up and waved to Yu Shui.

Yu Shui heard what he said and walked up to Chen Xueru: "Sister, I will come to see you next time."

Chen Xueru sat up with a smile on her face: "Okay, Yushui. Next time I'll prepare something new for you to try."

After she finished speaking, she stood up from the sofa and walked the two of them out the door.

Chen Xueru turned around and shouted towards the wing room, "Auntie Feng, get some chocolate for Yu Shui. I brought it from Shencheng last time."

Feng Liping's voice came from the room immediately: "Okay, Miss."

After a while, Feng Liping came over with a bag of chocolates, handed it to Chen Xueru, and smiled at everyone.

Chen Xueru took the chocolate from Feng Ma, handed it to Yu Shui, and waved goodbye: "Bye! See you next time."

"Goodbye, sister!" Yu Shui waved at her happily, holding the cloth bag.

After saying goodbye to Yu Shui and Chen Xueru, He Yuzhu returned to the silk shop.

He found Zhang Yuanfa who was busy, and greeted him with a smile: "Uncle Zhang, have you eaten?"

Zhang Yuanfa heard the shout, looked up and saw He Yuzhu, a smile appeared on his face: "Just finished eating. Why didn't the lady come with us?"

"She ate too much and said she won't come in the afternoon. She feels at ease with you here." He Yuzhu explained with a smile.

Zhang Yuanfa didn't expect this to be the reason. He looked at him in surprise: "It seems that your cooking skills are quite good!"

He Yuzhu bowed modestly and said, "Everyone has his own strengths. I think your skills are not bad either."

Zhang Yuanfa was so touched by his praise that the smile on his face became even brighter and he looked at He Yuzhu more favorably.

He took out the packaged material from under the counter and handed it to He Yuzhu: "Xiao He, this is the material you want."

"Thank you so much for your trouble!" He Yuzhu took the material and said gratefully, "Next time, please try my craftsmanship."

He Yuzhu went to the counter to pay the bill, took the packed silk fabrics, rode his bike with Yu Shui, and headed to Caochang Toutiao Hutong.

I knocked on the Ma family’s gate, and it creaked open.

Tong Lanfang smiled and looked out the door, her eyes attracted by Yu Shui: "Zhu Zi, is this your little sister Yu Shui? Look at her little appearance, she is so pretty."

He Yuzhu pushed the cart inside and said, "Sister Tong, this is my little sister Yushui. Yushui, hurry up and call for help."

Yu Shui looked at the enthusiastic Tong Lanfang and timidly called out, "Sister Tong!"

"Oh~ That's great! Big sister just wants a good girl!" Tong Lanfang walked forward, took Yu Shui's little hand affectionately, and led her into the yard.

Shortly after the gate was closed, Huang Wu walked over leisurely, stopped and looked around.

He wrote down the house number and hurried away to ask someone for information.

As the night deepened, He Yuzhu and his sister rushed back home. At the same time, Huang Wu also returned to Hou Jiacheng's residence.

"Boom boom boom!"

He stood outside the door and knocked on Hou Jiacheng's door.

"Come in!" Hou Jiacheng's voice came from the room.

Huang Wu pushed the door open and walked in, bowing and saying, "Greetings, young master! I have already found out who you asked me to keep an eye on."

Hou Jiacheng put down the teacup in his hand and waved his hand: "Okay, tell me what you have to say!"

"The person you want to keep an eye on is called He Yuzhu. After you gave me your instructions, I waited in front of the store until almost noon before I saw him come out."

After saying this, Huang Wu paused for a moment and continued, "Miss Chen took He Yuzhu and his sister back to the courtyard where she lived!"

Hou Jiacheng's face changed and he said angrily: "What? You didn't lie to me?"

Huang Wu lowered his head quickly: "How dare I lie to you, young master!"

"Great! Even the peasants can go, but I can't?" Hou Jiacheng slammed the table so hard that the teacup fell to the ground and broke into pieces.

"Master, please calm down!" Huang Wu was shocked by his reaction.

Hou Jiacheng calmed down and breathed a sigh of relief: "Go on!"

"Yes! He Yuzhu is now the chef of Emei Restaurant. Miss Chen should have asked him to cook at noon." Huang Wu expressed his guess.

Seeing that Hou Jiacheng's anger had subsided a little, he continued, "In the afternoon, He Yuzhu went to a yard near Caochang. I paid someone to find out more about the situation there."

When Hou Jiacheng saw him looking over, he took out a small stack of money from his pocket and threw it to him: "Young Master won't let you run in vain."

"Thank you for the reward, young master!" Huang Wu hurriedly took the money, "That family is He Yuzhu's master. What's special is that his master's son is a government official."

Hou Jiacheng nodded and tapped his fingers on the table. After listening to Huang Wu's report, he didn't know what he was thinking about.

He suddenly asked, "Does he have any other connections?"

Huang Wu thought about it and shook his head: "Young Master has not yet found out what other relationships he has."

"You go to the restaurant where he is tomorrow and find out more about the situation. I will meet him then." Hou Jiacheng nodded and said lightly.

"Master, why don't we..." Huang Wu made a cutting gesture.

Seeing this, Hou Jiacheng interrupted him and said, "This is not Suzhou. You'd better be careful! Be cautious when doing things and don't involve yourself."

"Yes, young master, you have thought it through carefully!" Huang Wu praised.

Hou Jiacheng's anger had subsided. He looked at Huang Wu and ordered, "Clean up the floor and leave!"

After he said that, he stood up and walked towards the bedroom, thinking about how to take Chen Xueru as soon as possible.
