A skilled fat merchant, who apparently has connections with the guards, manages to bribe his way past them and into a restricted area. He brings along three wealthy individuals, impressing the onlookers with his influence and ability to profit from such access.

Perhaps tomorrow, when I give silver, the silver might be seen by their officer, and then they’d really have something delicious to eat at that time. It might even implicate me.

Precisely because of this reason, the fat man never considered this matter in the first place.

Of course, the bigger reason is that the fat man doesn’t care for this small amount of money. He wants big money, lots of silver, not just these dozens of small taels of silver.

To him, the price at which this house is sold is the kind of wealth that would take him years of hard work to earn.

Once inside the residential area, the three of them looked around continuously just like the fat man did the first time he came in. If it weren’t for their splendid attire, no one would imagine that these three were so wealthy, forming a stark contrast with the patches worn by the passing commoners.

Although those commoners wore patches on their clothes, each seemed to have become accustomed to the environment here.

While walking cautiously, fearing to bump into the nearby flowers and grass or the far-off decorations, none of them looked around like the three did.

This showed that these folks had already started to get used to it here.

Contrarily, it was truly the first eye-opener for these three.

They’ve seen excellent gardens before. They’ve visited those fine gardens in Suzhou, but comparing them to this, it’s definitely different.

The style here is unlike anything they’ve seen. The beauty here is unmatched. Everything here is unheard of, including the flowers and grass, each stone table, and chair. Their designs are entirely different from what they know.

Of course, all of this comes from Lin Yi’s handiwork or should be said to be his father’s design. These things’ shapes were made per the requirements of Lin Yi’s father.

Because of this, a person from the future naturally has a different vision than ancient people do, so it’s only natural for them to feel shocked.

"Haha, what do you think? Isn’t this place indeed fabulous?

Every flower, every scene, every blade of grass here is specially managed with care.

It could be said, everything here is much finer than outside. Not only are the sights pleasing, but the garden looks extremely delightful, and the house is particularly comforting. Come, we’re almost there."

The fat man was utterly delighted seeing the three’s reactions. The less experienced they were, the more frightened they got, the easier it was for him to ask for an astronomical figure.

The moment might come when his funds would become abundant again, or perhaps become even more substantial than he imagined.

After the fat man’s words, the three hastened to nod and agree. Indeed, the environment here is excellent:

"Oh, you’re right, this place is beautiful. I’ve walked through many courtyards before and seen a variety, but never one quite like this."

"Who wouldn’t say so? Look at the stone tables and chairs— their design simply gives me an enlightening feeling; who knew there could be such beautiful designs? Truly, they’re so much prettier than the stone tables and chairs at my home."

"And look at those flowers and grass; aren’t they growing unusually? Look at that little grass; its form is unexpectedly regular, and each piece on the ground is surprisingly uniform in height.

They grow tightly against the ground, making the entire ground look green and vibrant without feeling overgrown with weeds. This is quite miraculous."

"Now that you mention it, you’re absolutely right. Our courtyard also has places overgrown with weeds, but they look far messier compared to here. Although this place is full of grass, it gives off such a fresh and pleasant sensation. How did they possibly manage this?"

Listening to the trio’s discussion, the corners of the fat man’s mouth turned up even higher. If they were already impressed outside, who knows how shocked they’ll be once inside.

After a brief moment, the four reached the front of a building, and the three started expressing their admiration once again upon seeing the towering building.

After a bout of marveling, the fat man indicated for them to follow him towards this direction.

The fat man took them to the third floor of this house.

However, evidently, the fat man did not directly take them to the third floor but first led them to the first floor.

Indeed, the first, third, and fifth floors of this building were entirely owned by the fat man, but he had no intention of selling the higher floors and instead chose to sell the first and third floors.

After all, to sell at a good price, proper comparison is indispensable. Thus, under the fat man’s guidance, they directly pushed open the first-floor door, and the sight inside promptly came into view.

Suddenly, they were even more astonished. Everything inside seemed so novel, and they looked around taking in the sights with delight.

Even more so, one of the guys, after inspecting the room, opened his mouth in surprise and asked:

"Shopkeeper Wang, after seeing all this, I’m feeling a bit dry-throated. I wonder if there’s any water in this room to drink?"

However, before the fat man could speak, another person on the side directly responded:

"Hey hey, old Zhang, look here; isn’t this the water jar?"

Following the voice, the person who had previously questioned the fat man suddenly saw a pure white place with water flowing inside. The water looked exceptionally transparent and very tempting.

Indeed, the pristine exterior housing such clear water indeed makes one feel thirsty upon a glance. Not only the person asking the question felt this way, but the other two also couldn’t help but gulp down some saliva, eager to taste whether the water here was sweet.

After looking around, they also spotted several cups on the table, instantly sparking their interest as they hurried toward the cups.

At this moment, the fat man also glanced over here. Once he saw the scene clearly, he was instantly dumbfounded.

His mouth opened wide as the guy took a cup in the white ’water jar,’ filled it with water, and was about to drink it.

At this point, the fat man promptly reacted and hurriedly waved his hand while quickly speaking to stop:

"Stop! Stop, please stop! The water inside cannot be drunk."

The man who had already picked up the cup turned to look at the fat man upon hearing this.

Seeing him running over with a face full of vigilance, he immediately felt a bit displeased:

"I say, fat man, aren’t you rather stingy? It’s just a sip of water,

What’s the matter with that?

Don’t tell me this water is made of gold?

Is this sip really that precious?

Humph, I knew you were stingy, but didn’t expect you to be this miserly.

However, today I will definitely drink this water, let’s see what you can do about it?"

While saying this, before the fat man reached him, the guy hastily brought the cup to his mouth.

He gulped down the water in two big swallows.
