"I heard you're buying a house? Haven't found a suitable one yet?" Wang Miao spoke straightforwardly, not knowing what it means to be reserved.

  "It's precisely because I don't want to buy an elevator apartment, but now the land is so scarce, even several-story commercial buildings have to be built in the suburbs, it's really too difficult to buy." Speaking of housing issues, this is indeed a major problem that even the mysterious pearl cannot help Lin Luoran solve.

  Wang Miao'e smiled and said: "I happen to know of a place where there's a house for sale that meets all your requirements, it's just a bit pricey. I'll take you there one day to have a look?"

  Lin Luo Ran pulled her hand and thanked her profusely: "Then you really solved my big trouble, I've been worried to death about this recently. The price is a bit expensive, but it's okay, I still have a piece of jade material that hasn't been sold, and I can somehow come up with the down payment."

  It's said that Lin Luoran still has a piece of jade material, Wang Miao'e knows that she got 6 million last time, and the jade material that can be covered by Lin Luoran won't be too bad. This house can indeed take her to see it.

  Wang Miao'e waved her hand and lowered her voice, saying: "The dishes you sent over are even better than the ones Old Cui bought for our family. Not only do they taste great, but I've also been feeling a lot more comfortable in my stomach lately, and those little bumps on my face have disappeared too. It's like it's better than any high-end skincare product! Thank you so much, Lin Mei... aren't those dishes quite expensive? Is it some new technology?"

  Lin Luorans thoughts: Can I tell you that it's a spatial species? Just go along with Wang Jies words, neither agreeing nor denying, leaving some mystery.

  They didn't know each other for a long time, no more than two months, and they were quite different in age, but their personalities clicked, Wang Miao'e was like an older sister, helping Lin Luo Ran several times without expecting anything in return.

  Lin Luoran knew she was suffering from her appearance, and had always wanted to repay her in this regard. Recently, she also looked up a lot of information and had a plan in mind. At this time, it wasn't ready yet, so she didn't want to give her too much hope, only mentioning it vaguely.

  "Sister Wang, I have a gift for you in a few days, and when the time comes, be sure to accept it with a smile - it's a surprise!"

  Wang Miaoe was curious, but she knew Lin Luoran's personality. If it was a surprise, he wouldn't tell her in advance. Wang Miaoe suppressed her doubts and discussed with Lin Luoran to go house hunting together the day after tomorrow.

  Lin Luoran brought the wild mountain ginseng to see Master Jia on the second morning, and after the two finished practicing Tai Chi and collecting their energy, Lin Luoran took out a beautifully wrapped brocade box and respectfully presented it to Master Jia.

  Jia Shifu was slightly surprised, not expecting Lin Luoran to remember the master's gift she had mentioned earlier. Seeing the exquisite brocade box, he thought that this female apprentice must have put in some effort to choose it. He didn't bother to look inside, and calmly accepted it with a composed expression, but in his heart, he was actually quite pleased.

  A 60-year-old wild ginseng, weighing over 50 grams, is already worth tens of millions in the market. This is a product from Lin Luo Ran's space, where even vegetables can have medicinal effects, let alone the ginseng that has been cultivated with spiritual energy.

  Such a luxurious gift of apprenticeship, Lin Luoran was still not very good at it, mainly because Master Jia taught her, which was not the simple Tai Chi she thought it was!

  Putting aside the mysterious and profound words, Lin Luoran was surprised to find that Master Jia's technique, although only a breathing exercise, still worked for her - in other words, it might be a cultivation technique!

  Lin Luoran couldn't explain the reason either. She could see through spiritual energy, so naturally she could tell that although Master Jia's vital energy was more abundant than ordinary people, he didn't seem like a cultivator. However, he possessed simple breathing exercises for cultivation. Did this mean that Master Jia's master or ancestors were related to cultivators, or maybe he was even the descendant of a cultivator?

  This set of qigong exercises solved Lin Luoran's urgent problem, and in Lin Luoran's opinion, using ginseng to repay was still a loss for Master Jia, so he didn't mind the top-grade ginseng he had cultivated.

  ……

  Today is Lin Luoran's day off, she thought that the car had not been driven much since it was bought back, and it would be a pity to leave it idle, so she drove herself and invited Baojia to go house hunting together.

  Wang sister said to wait for them at Wuling Square, and when Lin Luoran drove up, Wang sister's Hummer was very eye-catching, and she recognized it at a glance.

  That's right, Wang Miao'e herself took charge of the family business, and her character had long been trained to be as strong as a man. It was often said that only a fierce horse could match her, and she had always been very bold... Bao Jia admired this about her, and recently her idol was none other than Wang Miao'e herself. Commander Qin was extremely relieved that he had arranged for her to be engaged early on; otherwise, he would still have worried about his tomboy granddaughter getting married off.

  "Wang Jie, where are we going?" Baojia's face was flushed with excitement as she saw her idol, almost to the point of not being able to contain herself.

  Wang Miao'e waved her hand: "Follow me, and you won't be sold off, will you?" Her whole demeanor had a carefree and unrestrained feel to it. Lin Luo Ran saw these two fierce women and knew he only had the fate of retreating in defeat.

  In recent years, private cars in R City have been increasing, and sometimes traffic jams are so severe that it's faster to ride a bicycle. Lin Luoran parked her car at the parking lot of the square and got on Wang Jie's Hummer with Baojia.

  "Huh, Wang Jie, I feel like you've become whiter recently?" Dog Leg Qin was sitting in the passenger seat, sizing up Wang Miao who was driving.

  Wang Miao'e laughed so hard that the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes all came out: "Really? Your brother Cui also said that, and I thought he was cheating on me. It seems that Lin's dish is really good stuff!"

  Bao Jia nodded deeply, and the three of them chatted and laughed together. Before long, they arrived at their destination.

  Looking around at the familiar buildings, it's clear that they haven't exceeded the second ring road. Even if there are high-rise buildings here, they should be elevator apartments, right? Lin Luoran was puzzled and couldn't understand, but Wang Miaoer smiled happily.

  As I walked in, it was R city's newly renovated tourist street with a clear and elegant style, full of ancient charm, and crowded with tourists.

  Bao Jia still trusted his idol and pushed Lin Luoran, who was in a daze, and the two quickly followed Wang Miao's footsteps.

  Just across the alley from Fengsu Jie, Wang sister led them to stop in front of a vermilion gate and asked Lin Luoran with a smile: "How's this house?"

  The walls of this alley were all old green bricks, with a large red-painted gate. Lin Luorui had long been fascinated by it and couldn't take her eyes off it. She didn't know that there were still such houses near the city center in R City.

  "Is this private?" Lin Luo couldn't help but ask, feeling a bit embarrassed. It wasn't her fault, she was used to being a petty citizen and didn't know that old houses like this could still be bought and sold, always thinking they were cultural relics!

  Wang Miao'e burst out laughing: "Silly girl, this has been renovated. If it were really a house from several hundred years ago, even if the owner could sell it to you, every single tile would be an antique. Could you live in peace?"

  Lin Luoran's face turned red, and Bao Jia couldn't help but burst into loud laughter at her embarrassment.

  Because Wang Miao'e had agreed with someone that today they would bring people to see the house, the red-painted large gate was slightly ajar and hadn't been tightly closed.

  Wang Miao'e pushed the door open and led Lin Luo Ran in. Possibly for the convenience of vehicles entering and exiting, the threshold of the gate had been knocked down. To the left of the entrance was a large room converted into a garage, which was very deep and seemed to be able to park two cars without any problem.

  A large camphor tree grew at the corner of the wall opposite the garage, more than twice as high as the surrounding wall, and it seemed to have been there for many years. It was already winter, but it still had lush branches and leaves, casting a dense shadow in the courtyard.

  Against the wall root planted a few clumps of jasmine, also built a fake mountain and paved fish pond. On winter sunny days, fat goldfish swim around, Lin Luo Ran stepped in and couldn't move forward on the path.

  Just looking at this courtyard, it's at least one or two hundred square meters. The ground is paved with three-foot-square bluestone slabs. Near the house, there is a large phoenix tree, and not far from the tree, there are stone tables and chairs, probably for cooling off in the summer.

  The wooden house has three bays in the middle, all of which are two-story small buildings similar to Huizhou dwellings. On either side, there are three one-story high-roofed houses, with the outermost one converted into a garage, and the other two adjacent to the garage being the kitchen and a large dining hall.

  The middle three rooms, downstairs there is a hall for receiving guests, a study room, and upstairs are all bedrooms. Inside, many modern furniture and appliances that do not clash with the style of the house have been added, making it comfortable to live in and convenient to use.

  Not to mention Lin Luoran, who was infatuated with the sight, even Baojia would exclaim every few steps: "It's too luxurious, too corrupt... how can we ordinary people survive..."

  Lin Luoran felt as if she had traversed through time and space, finding herself in a mansion from hundreds of years ago.

  Wang Miao'e was very satisfied with the effect she had created, and pulled the two of them through the dining hall, where a small door led to the backyard.

  Looking at the backyard which was several times larger than the front yard, Baojia was amazed and finally couldn't help but utter a not-so-elegant word -

  "Awesome!"
