75 -75: Not Bad Functionality_1
Following behind Guo Dazui, she headed west, arriving directly at a courtyard at the western end of the town.
She watched as he entered one of the yards.
Luckily, the courtyard was at the very end of the alley; the east side was adjacent to other homes, but the west was an open space.
Glancing at the courtyard wall, it was hardly any taller than the Yang Family’s.
Particularly at a collapsed corner in the rear, she quickly leaped over with ease.
However, just as she reached beneath the rear window and was about to listen to the conversation inside, a large black dog charged at her, baring its teeth and snarling.
Damn it!
Yang Ruxin cursed inwardly, then quickly dodged into her hidden space, finally breathing a sigh of relief.
It was a good thing she had that trick up her sleeve, otherwise, it would have been quite troublesome.
But…
Looking around at the four walls, Yang Ruxin was still frustrated; if only she could see and hear what was happening outside.
Just as the thought crossed her mind, one of the walls suddenly lit up and, slowly, turned transparent, like a television screen, allowing the dog’s barking from outside to come in clearly.
“This feature is really cool,” Yang Ruxin chuckled to herself, feeling like she was watching TV.
It seemed this space held great potential for exploration; she would have to come in and study it more when she had time.
No sooner had Guo Dazui entered the house and started explaining to Zhao Feihu than the dog in the backyard began barking.
A tall and burly man inside frowned, glanced at Guo Dazui, then hurried outside.
In the backyard, however, all he saw was his own black dog barking at thin air.
“There’s no one here, why’s the dog barking like mad?” Guo Dazui asked, puzzled.
Zhao Feihu looked around, but indeed there was no one; the dog was barking at nothing in midair.
Could someone be up there?
He kicked the dog irritably, “What’s all this nonsense barking about?”
The black dog whimpered pathetically, wanting to bark but fearful of its master’s foot, and could only tuck its tail and return to its den in the corner.
“Boss Zhao, I won’t hold you up any longer,” Guo Dazui hadn’t even entered the house when he began, “I’ve already spoken to the Yang Family from Budong Village yesterday.
We’ll meet them in three days.
How about your side…?”
“No problem on my end,” Zhao Feihu smiled, “You can be sure they won’t find any faults.
A silver or two spent on gifts is enough to drop their jaws in those bumpkin households.”
“I’m definitely confident in Boss Zhao’s work.” Guo Dazui grinned, “Also, regarding the Qian Family from Niu Family Village, I’ve arranged to meet them in four days.” He paused, “Both of those girls are beauties…
if not, I would have sent them up to the mountains already…”
“Don’t worry about it,” Zhao Feihu gave Guo Dazui a slap, “As long as they’re truly good, the price won’t be low.
And if the young master takes a fancy to them, that’s even better.
When that happens, it’s a win-win for both of us…”
“Ouch, of course, I know Boss Zhao’s word is as good as gold.” Guo Dazui immediately brightened up, then sobered his face again, “Actually, aside from Dani, the Yang Family also has Erni, Sanni, and Sini.
Though they’re young, they all have the makings of beauties, and besides, the eldest’s husband has been dead for several years now.
That widow, honestly, after a bit of tidying up, she can look even better than some young ladies…”
Touching his chin, Zhao Feihu pondered, “When we visit the Yang Family, we’ll have to take a good look.
If they’re really as good as you say, we’ll take them all.
Younger has its advantages, good for training; they might just become the next top courtesan.
However, the key is the head of the Yang Family…”
