Mu Linting's reputation is now so famous that almost everyone in the capital knows him. So when he went to buy a house in the inner city, many people waited there deliberately, planning to come and get in touch with this undefeated God of War.
Especially some girls in the boudoir want to meet Mu Linting one by one, so as to see the difference between him and them.
But when they actually saw him, they found that the general was completely different from them. Not only did he not look like a coquette, but he looked more masculine than a man.
Some petite guests who have never had much contact with men can't help but blush when they see Mu Linting, thinking that the man's appearance is just like a man, and he doesn't know how much better than those so-called rich men.
If the young gentlemen in the capital can be as outstanding as each other, they will be willing to marry even if they squeeze their heads.
Mu Linting didn't know anything about it, and spent the next few days looking for a suitable house. There are very big rules on the houses of officials in this dynasty, just like only the fourth rank and above can live in the inner city, the size of the house that each official can live in is also closely related to the official position.
With Shen Chenyu's current official position, although he has the qualifications to live in the inner city, he can only buy a relatively ordinary house. But Mu Linting is a second-rank general, and his requirements for buying a house are much wider than Shen Chenyu's.
Mu Linting took a fancy to the two houses, and after discussing with Shen Chenyu, Shen Chenyu handed over the matter to him. Because Shen Chenyu who just joined the job is very busy, and now he has a relatively big case in hand, Shen Chenyu can't accompany him to choose a house for the time being.
Fortunately, Mu Linting is not a hypocritical character, not only can't get angry because of Shen Chenyu, but he likes to be the master of the house.
Mu Linting took a fancy to two houses, one of which was relatively large, with two gardens in the front and back, and a pond in the back. The other one is a little smaller than the former one, but overall there is one main courtyard and three side courtyards.
In the end, Mu Linting bought both of them. Firstly, he had extra money in his hand, and secondly, the price offered by others was very low, so it is very cost-effective to buy now.
Although the two courtyards were bought, some places are relatively old, and it took a lot of time to renovate them. Fortunately, Han Lilang and Mu Yangzhen were by his side, so Mu Linting, the head of the family, didn't have to worry too much.
When Shen Chenyu finished her work, the family moved directly into the larger yard. The remaining small one was given to Han Lilang, who just kept it for the other party to use for business or stockpiling.
The area of the new home is relatively large. Apart from the main courtyard where the young couple lives, there are six courtyards in front and back. Among them, the yard with a small garden was left by Mu Linting to Mrs. Shen and Liu. The two of them only have such an old man, so they want to give each other the best in everything.
As for the servants of the new family, most of them are Mu Linting's own subordinates. However, since his subordinates are all men, he will inevitably have to buy a few maids in the future.
Although Mu Linting himself is informal, there are Shen Liushi and Xiaoroubao in the family. In addition, most big men are more careless, and they are still not as careful as brothers and women.
Shen Chenyu rested on this day, and it happened that Mu Linting was fine. The two found a famous matchmaker and planned to buy some servants with clean backgrounds.
The matchmaker in the capital city has many rules, and the servants in their hands are also more aware of the rules, and some of the servants can even read and write, so the relative price is relatively high.
Shen Chenyu and Mu Linting don't need servants to serve them, this time they were mainly chosen for Shen Liushi and their children. The two of them planned for this year's Mid-Autumn Festival, so they went back together to pick up Shen Liushi and Xiaoroubao.
Because it was agreed in advance that I wanted brothers and women, so the matchmaker also brought brothers and women. Because of the identities of Shen Chenyu and Mu Linting, the Yamao brought over a dozen brothers and twenty women in one go.
These men and women are all excellent, and they are all the better types in the hands of the matchmaker. Some of them were young ladies from wealthy families, but because they were concubines, they were harmed by the mistress.
Shen Chenyu doesn't care about young ladies, he just wants to be honest and not sneaky, so he doesn't care about what the toothmaid says.
Shen Chenyu ordered two timid and honest girls, and asked a few older women among them, and then selected two hardworking ones. The people after that were handed over to Mu Linting. Mu Linting looked around the group of people and chose four more pleasing brothers.
The little couples are all vigorous and decisive, so the selection speed is not slow, and they are all selected in less than half an hour.
Just when Xiangmo was about to pay, a timid voice suddenly sounded, which made the toothmaid beside him frown.
"Brother Yu, are you... are you Brother Yu?"
Shen Chenyu raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and before he raised his eyes to look at the other party, the toothmaid stepped forward and grabbed him with an angry face.
"This is the official's home, I really don't understand any rules!"
Saying that the toothmaid was about to slap the other party, the speaker ran away in a panic while running in the direction of Shen Chenyu.
The other party is a brother in his twenties, his appearance is not so outstanding, but he has a pair of watery eyes.
Shen Chenyu only felt that this person was a little familiar, but she didn't recognize him right away. It was obvious that Shen Chenyu didn't know this person, and if she did, the original owner should know him.
When the other party called him Brother Yu again, Shen Chenyu subconsciously shook the goosebumps on her body, and then waved to the matchmaker with a displeased face.
Regardless of the relationship between the other party and the original owner, Shen Chenyu knew that this person was not a worry-free guy just by the way the other party suddenly appeared at this time, and then opened and shut his mouth.
She didn't ask someone to arrest him immediately, but she was worried that if the other party really knew Mr. Shen, she might offend Mr. Shen by then. Now when she saw Mr. Shen's impatient expression, she asked the accompanying people to drag him back without saying a word.
The brother was obviously stunned for a moment, he hadn't expected such a development at all. But he was just stunned for a moment, and then wept miserably.
"Brother Yu, it's me, I'm Wen Qianxue!!"
Shen Chenyu didn't immediately think of the other party, but Mu Linting at the side remembered who he was? Before Shen Chenyu crossed over, the original owner had a childhood sweetheart, , whose name happened to be Wen Qianxue.
The reason why Mu Linting could remember was because when he and the original owner just got married, the original owner called each other's name more than once in a dream.
Although the original owner had a good impression of Lin Ruiqi before, but that kind of affection was just a good impression, the original owner still had a white moonlight in his heart.
It's just a pity that this Bai Yueguang not only cut off the relationship with the original owner quickly after the original owner's downfall, but also couldn't wait to get married afterwards.
It stands to reason that the other party got married earlier than the original owner, so shouldn't they be at home with their husbands and children now? How could he suddenly appear here and end up being sold as a slave?
At this time, Shen Chenyu had already thought of him, but she still didn't intend to recognize him. Not to mention that he is not the original owner, he has no feelings for Wen Qianxue at all, and there is no need to deal with Rotten Peach Blossom for the original owner.
Even if he had to be responsible for the actions of the original owner, the original owner and Wen Qianxue had long since had nothing to do with each other. The other party was still called Shen Chenyu with an ambiguous face, and now he even said such ambiguous words in front of Mu Linting.
Could it be that he still wants to continue his relationship? But both of them are married, Shen Chenyu's eldest son can make soy sauce, isn't he like this?
Seeing that Shen Chenyu ignored him at all, Wen Qianxue couldn't help but quickly glanced at Mu Linting, and then said with a look of resentment: "General Mu, don't you want to know about my relationship with Lord Shen?"
Seeing this, Mu Linting chuckled, and said without hesitation, "I don't want to know."
Wen Qianxue held back her tricks, she never expected Mu Linting to say such a thing, her face turned blue from choking.
Just when he was about to say something, Shen Chenyu suddenly said: "I don't know him, drag him away."
Compared with Mu Linting's choking, Shen Chenyu is even more cold-blooded and ruthless. Because when Shen Chenyu said such things, his expression looked very serious, and it was not at all obvious that he was lying.
Well, since Shen Chenyu didn't speak, Wen Qianxue became a climber in the eyes of everyone, and the way a group of people looked at him changed. It's a pity that before he could open his mouth to explain to everyone, he was dragged out by someone covering his mouth.
To be honest, Shen Chenyu is not a heartless person. If the other party didn't come up to Brother Yu, Shen Chenyu would think of it for the sake of acquaintance, and save Wen Qianxue from the current predicament.
It's a pity that many things are in a single thought, because Wen Qianxue has unrealistic thoughts, otherwise Shen Chenyu would not be so ruthless.
When the toothmaid took the person away, Shen Chenyu asked Mu Linting to explain to the other party by asking someone to take the new person down.
In the end, before he could speak, Mu Linting couldn't help laughing and said, "You don't need to explain to me, I already know what happened before."
Shen Chenyu breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words, thinking that it would be nice to have a sober husband. At least he doesn't have to try to coax him all the time, this kind of life can make him feel relaxed and comfortable.
However, what Shen Chenyu didn't know was that just after the matchmaker left with someone, Mu Linting sent people to follow him secretly, intending to investigate Wen Qianxue's matter carefully.
I don't know if he was thinking too much, but he always felt that there was something wrong with Wen Qianxue who suddenly appeared. How could it be such a coincidence that they wanted to buy someone, and among this group of servants was an old friend of Shen Chenyu?
There is also Wen Qianxue's attitude, so obviously it is to provoke him and Shen Chenyu, it is a bit difficult for Mu Linting not to think too much.
When resting that night, Shen Chenyu also felt that this matter was a bit strange, he hesitated for a while and planned to ask someone to investigate. As a result, before his people went out, the people Mu Linting sent out to investigate had already returned. Mu Linting didn't intend to hide it from him, so he pulled Shen Chenyu to listen to the investigation results.
The person Mu Linting sent out was a young man. The appearance of the other party is very ordinary, the type that will be forgotten after seeing it.
It is precisely because of the appearance of the other party, and the fact that he does not have a sense of presence in everything he does on weekdays, that the other party is suitable for the task of investigation.
The young man bowed to the two of them, and then began to narrate: "Report to the general, report to Sir Shaoqing, the younger one followed them all this afternoon, and then asked a few brothers on the road to help inquire, and only then did I know that this Wen Qianxue had come into contact with. The Shen family in Qingcheng County."
As soon as she heard that it was the Shen family in Qingcheng County, Shen Chenyu became a little more energetic. They were so busy a while ago that they almost forgot that there was a Shen Ming title.
Thinking of Lin Ruiqi who was sent to prison by Shen Chenyu, nearly a year has passed. It is estimated that Shen Mingxian not only met Lin Ruiqi, but now he is also thinking about how to deal with Shen Chenyu.
After all, with the other party's love for Lin Ruiqi, the current Shen Ming must hate Shen Chenyu to death. The reason why Shen Chenyu has been back for so long, and the other party still hasn't made any big moves, should be taboo about Shen Chenyu's current identity and status, otherwise the other party would have done something to Shen Chenyu long ago.
Mu Linting said: "It turned out to be that Shen Mingxie, I thought it was the hands of the people in the court."
If it was someone in the court, the two of them would probably be a little more worried. But if it was that Shen Ming, the husband and wife would not be so worried. At this time, the scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen, just in terms of social status, there is a world of difference between them.
