Chapter 402: Don’t judge a person by appearance (2)
next day
Ji Xiaomu wore the clothes that Bai Yichen had sent her, wore a jade hairpin carved by Fang Chen, and covered her face with a veil as she sat on Bai Yichen's private mount - a luxurious carriage.
Fang Chen changed his appearance and dressed up as a guard, emitting a cold aura. He sat next to the coachman, scaring the coachman so much that he even drove the horse in fear.
Ji Xiaomu sat in the carriage with a slight smile on her lips, looking with amusement at the big man in front of her who was losing his temper.
He didn't have time to carve a whole set of jade ornaments, so he spent the whole night with a cold face and carved the jade hairpin. In the morning, after getting up and washing up, Ji Xiaou put on the clothes sent by Bai Yichen. His face was as black as charcoal, and Ji Xiaou found it funny, so she put on the jade hairpin carved by Fang Chen, and the old man's complexion looked better.
The carriage drove smoothly all the way to a house. Fang Chen helped Ji Xiaomu get off the carriage, and someone immediately came out to greet Ji Xiaomu and Fang Chen.
"Madam." A man dressed as a butler came to Ji Xiaomu with a group of servants and greeted her respectfully.
"Where is Mr. Bai?" Ji Xiaomu nodded and asked.
"Mr. Bai has been waiting in the hall for a long time." The butler said respectfully, leading Mrs. Ji to Bai Yichen, then lowered his head and retreated.
"Is this your farm?" Aunt Ji looked around, seeing the carefully arranged and maintained courtyard and yard. There were also exquisite ornaments placed in the hall. It was elegant and grand, and very majestic.
"No, this is your house." Bai Yichen smiled, "I have prepared a gift for you a long time ago, but I never had the chance to give it to you. This time I can use this place."
"...What?" Ji Xiaomu was stunned and Fang Chen also frowned.
"Don't refuse so quickly. This is what you deserve and it's your dividend. Have you forgotten? Your drawings? Thanks to your drawings, the Bai family made a lot of money again. This house was prepared for you by my grandfather." Bai Yichen looked at Ji Xiaomu, knowing that she was definitely about to refuse, and quickly explained.
"This house is given to me?" Ji Xiao was stunned. "Where has your business gone?"
"Don't underestimate your blueprint. A house is also a kind of facade and symbol of a family. How can a family live in an ordinary house?" Bai Yichen explained, "Even if there is an impending war, those people will still put their family in front of others and must not lose face."
"It's a shame to save face." Ji Xiaomu said speechlessly, "I really underestimated the extent to which these families care about face."
"The 'those' families you are referring to are mostly royal families. The foundation of a general family is more than just a house." Bai Yichen said with a smile, "These people's money is the easiest to make, and they don't worry about national disasters. They are all concubines and noble concubines. As long as the country exists, these families will not disappear."
"The number of families that can be created depends on how many concubines the emperor marries? Is that what you mean?" Ji Xiaomu looked at Bai Yichen, who raised his thumb. "I understand."
"If you marry the emperor or the prince, you will be a royal relative, right?" Bai Yichen said with a smile, "How can you be short of wealth and splendor? If you have wealth and splendor, don't you need a nice house?"
"Your circle is so chaotic." Ji Xiaomu disagreed.
"That's how we can make money." Bai Yichen said with a smile, "They are all our God of Wealth."
"Where are those people?" Fang Chen reminded.
Bai Yichen glanced at Fang Chen and shrugged. "They are waiting for you to summon them in the room! I told you that you are busy, so you will meet them when you are free."
