The world of comprehensive martial arts, the Ming Dynasty. ...
At the foot of the majestic and beautiful Qingfeng Mountain, there is a Qingfeng Town.
The town is neither prosperous nor deserted.
At midnight, there was still a light layer of mist hanging over the town, and the shouts of the vendors in the market kept coming and going.
"Pancakes, delicious pancakes, two cents each."
"Two pancakes!"
In front of the snack stall, a handsome-looking man wearing a gray and white gown and a turban on his head spent money in Western currency and bought two pancakes.
"The aroma is quite good, but the taste is a bit off."
For Lin Yi, who is used to eating spicy hot pot, boiled fish and other heavy flavors, eating this thing is like chewing wax, tasteless.
Yes, Ji Yi is a time-travelling man.
In his previous life, he was a hard-working programmer who worked overtime day and night.
Due to overwork, he died suddenly and traveled to the world of mixed martial arts.
This world is made up of five pillars, vast and huge, and martial arts is the most important thing.
Divided based on geographical location.
There are the Ming Dynasty, Song Dynasty, and Tang Dynasty in the southeast, and the Qin Dynasty and Yuan Dynasty in the northwest.
Among the five countries.
There are many masters, Yao Yue, Dongfang Undefeated, Let Me Go, Ximen Chuixue, Ye Gucheng, Qiao Feng, Chu Liuxiang, Li Xunhuan...
There are so many beauties, Yao Yue, Lian Xing, Xiao Longnu, Wang Yuyan, Zhao Min, Zhou Zhiruo, Miejie Shitai...
Lin Yi was a martial arts fan in his previous life and always yearned for a pleasant life of traveling to the ends of the earth with a sword.
But when he came to this world, he didn't want to be a hero at all.
There is no other reason, the world is dangerous.
I don’t know any martial arts, so it’s good to be alive.
Like other time travellers, Ji Yi is also bound to a system called the "Peace Xiheyuan System".
The function is very simple. Build a Western courtyard to accommodate people from all walks of life and ensure their safety, and you will receive rewards.
"I'm so cheating. I can't even defeat a local gangster. How can I build a peaceful Western courtyard?"
After Ji Yi finished eating the pancakes, he took out a few written notices from his arms and posted them in a conspicuous place in the market.
"Xiheyuan for rent: self-built house, close to mountains and rivers, spacious and bright, fifty taels of silver per room, if you want to rent, hurry up. Address: Five miles southeast of the market, next to the green bamboo forest."
"A cheating mission!"
Just a moment ago, the system issued the first task, asking him to take in a Jianghu person.
Taking into account that others will not take the initiative to come to the door, I made this decision.
As soon as the notice was posted, many people gathered around to watch.
However, the onlookers were all civilians wearing coarse linen clothes, and there were not a single potential customer.
"Xiheyuan? What kind of house is it?"
"Are you crazy? Fifty taels of silver per room? I have all this money, why don't I buy a house?"
"Yes, with a little more money, I can buy a luxurious house."
…………
The onlookers dispersed in a hurry and went about their business.
There are only so many people in the town, and those who didn't see the notice didn't bother to read it after hearing what others said.
Only a fool would rent a 'weird house' for fifty taels of silver?
Half an hour later, the bustle of the market gradually subsided, leaving only a few sparse vendors.
At this time, a carriage drove slowly past the bluestone slabs in the market, and finally stopped in front of a noodle shop.
The driver was a young man dressed in white who looked extremely handsome but looked a little embarrassed.
"Hush!"
The man in white jumped out of the car, opened the door, and reached out to take a 'baggage' from inside.
This 'burden' turned out to be a swaddled baby, sleeping soundly.
"Ma'am, be careful!"
Then, he helped a stunningly beautiful woman get out of the carriage. This woman also held a baby in her hands.
It was rare for such a beauty to appear in Qingfeng Town, and she immediately attracted a large group of onlookers.
The men stared at the women greedily and talked a lot.
"Who is this?"
"I don't know. He looks like a foreigner on his way."
"It will be hard for the children to travel with this pair of babies!"
…………
The two held their children and walked into the noodle shop.
I ordered two bowls of Yangchun noodles. The man was a little hungry and finished them in two or three bites.
"Give me the child. Madam, eat more. If it's not enough, order another bowl."
Facing the man's gentle words, the woman's pretty face was filled with happiness.
"Boss, I want to ask you something. Is there an inn here?"
After the woman finished eating the noodles, the man asked the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper has long seen that these two people are wealthy people and have no shortage of money.
There is only one shabby inn in the town. The environment is very poor and it is not safe. I am afraid that they will not stay there.
"Top or permanent?"
"It may take some time."
"Well... you go check out the notice at the intersection. It might be suitable for you."
The shopkeeper also saw the notice posted by Ji Yi early in the morning. In his opinion, the price of fifty taels of silver must be much better than that of the inn.
"Thanks!"
The man and his wife returned to the carriage and when they came to the intersection, they saw the notice.
"Xiheyuan for rent: self-built house, close to mountains and rivers, spacious and bright..."
"Fifty taels of silver per room is not cheap. I wonder if you can protect my wife and children?"
The man muttered as he drove to the address on the notice.
At present, there is no better place to stay, so we can only go and see it first.
"Wang Cai, come and bow!"...
On the green grass, a fluffy little yellow dog circled around Ji Yi.
Ji Ji was very amused as he held a bone in his hand.
Behind him is a western courtyard, covering an area of dozens of acres, with blue bricks and white tiles, and two stone lions in front. The whole thing looks extraordinary.
This Xiheyuan is the 【Peace Xiheyuan】 built by Lin Yi.
Speaking of which, although this system does not reward any magical skills, it does reward a lot of money.
The starting price is one thousand taels of gold, which is approximately equal to seven or eight thousand taels of silver.
This is a huge sum of money, and it is estimated that the entire wealth of Qingfeng Town combined is not that much.
It cost less than a thousand taels of silver to build this Western courtyard, and the rest of the money was stored in a vault made of huge rocks.
In order to ensure safety, Lin Yi also spent a lot of money to hire a dozen strong men to serve as housekeepers and nurses.
It's a pity that there are no masters in this remote place, and the people invited have all three-legged cat skills.
A breeze blows, and the bamboo forest behind the Xiheyuan rustles, which is quite artistic.
"If I can marry a few lovely wives and concubines and guard this three-acre land, it will be considered a perfect life."
Lin Yi was sighing when suddenly, a family's carriage came speeding up.
The man driving the car has an appearance that is as good as Ji Ji's.
There is such a handsome man in this wretched place?
"May I ask, do you want to rent out the West Courtyard?"
The carriage stopped and the man in white asked.
"It's me."
Lin Yi saw that the man in white was luxuriously dressed and had an extraordinary temperament, and became curious about his identity.
This kind of person is definitely not an original character from Qingfeng Town, he should come from a big place.
His speech and conversation are very much like martial arts figures in movies and TV shows.
It seems that there is a chance to complete the system task.
"Can you take me to see the house?"
"Can!"
The man stopped the carriage at the door and took the wife and child out of the carriage.
"Tsk tsk, this woman is not bad either!"
"It's a pity to marry a woman at such a young age."
A very good-looking couple with two infant babies was a scene that Ji Yi seemed to have seen in some TV series.
But I couldn't remember it for a while.
Lin Yi took the couple for a walk around the Xiheyuan.
The layout of this Western courtyard imitates the later "Qinman Xiheyuan".
There are three yards in total, the front yard, the middle yard and the back yard.
Each courtyard is connected by a moon gate, and the ground is paved with bluestone.
There are houses in the west, and each house has two floors. Each floor has a west room, a main room, a bedroom, a side room, and a side room.
In terms of family units, the entire Xiheyuan can accommodate more than 20 households.
The materials used by Lin Yi to build the Xiheyuan are all blue bricks, bluestones, and antiseptic wood, which are sturdier than the Xiheyuan in the capital.
After walking around, the couple was amazed.
"This house, Jiang...Jiang saw for the first time, it is really exquisite and strange!"
"Are you two satisfied?"
"The environment here is quiet, spacious and transparent. I am very satisfied with it. I just wonder if it can keep my wife and children safe?"
Ji Yi was stunned: "Do you need a bodyguard?"
"That's right, I can pay more silver."
"There are no people with strong martial arts skills. There are only about a dozen guards with mediocre martial arts skills. They are still sleeping at the moment."
Hearing this, the man in white frowned and hesitated.
But the woman next to him looked at her with a look of joy.
"Forget it, let's rent a room."
The couple took a fancy to a room on the second floor east of the central courtyard.
The young man dug into his pocket and took out a shiny gold ingot.
"What do you call the boss?"
"My surname is Lin."
"Boss Lin, you don't need to give change for the rest. I hope you can take care of me!"
Such a generous move made Ji Yi even more suspicious of his identity.
Moreover, to complete system tasks, you need to sign a rental contract.
"I am renting a house formally and need to go through some formalities."
Lin Yi took out a drafted rental contract, placed it on the table, and then took out some pen and ink.
The man in white raised his pen with an elegant gesture, hesitated for a moment, and signed the name "Jiang Feng".
"It turns out to be Mr. Jiang. Congratulations on becoming the first tenant of Heping Xiheyuan. I wonder what I call you, Madam?"
Lin Yi estimated that there would be no other tenants moving in for a long time, and he would inevitably have to deal with the couple.
There is a better name.
"Her name is Yue'er!"
Yue'er turned sideways slightly and saluted like Lin Yi.
"Tsk, tsk, women in ancient times just knew etiquette, unlike later generations, who were so loud and aggressive."
Lin Yi sighed with emotion and then left.
"You two settle in first, I won't disturb you."
…………
Jiang Feng, Yue'er?
Have you never heard of such a name in the world?
Ji Yi was thinking about the names of these two people, but still didn't understand their identities.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the system task. You will receive the following rewards."
"The sixth level of the complete version of the Wedding Clothes Magic Skill."
A system prompt suddenly sounded in Ji Yi's mind.
