Lin Feng glanced at the time and laughed, "Let's go get hot pot! Now that we have a large garden, we should definitely eat in the pavilion!"

The women cheered again.

The pavilion is built in the middle of the pond, surrounded by water on all sides, and connected by only a winding bridge.

Lin Feng set up a table and chairs in the pavilion, put on a portable gas stove, placed an iron pot, poured in the hot pot broth, and lit the fire.

A moment later, the red oil sizzled, and the aroma of numbing spiciness and freshness filled the air.

Lin Feng took out drinks and some cups.

The women were shocked when they saw the transparent glass.

Using such luxurious treasures for meals?

"Young Master, are we eating this?" Xueyao asked incredulously.

"It's okay, we'll use this from now on."

They handled the transparent glass with great care, after all, it looked expensive.

The girls sat together, eating hot pot, drinking ice-cold beer and cola juice, watching the koi swimming in the pond, enjoying the evening breeze, and feeling incredibly content.

Yu Lan and Liang Bing were also invited over.

Looking at the scene, Yu Lan laughed and said, "Lin Feng, you're living a really comfortable life."

Lin Feng placed a piece of meat on her plate and said with a smile, "Life is all about being comfortable, isn't it? Come on, eat more."

Yu Lan smiled and accepted the food, her eyes crinkling with delight as she ate.

Liang Bing, still wearing a straw hat, sat motionless to the side.

However, judging from the slight twitching of her nose, the smell of the hot pot was also tempting to her.

When Lin Feng invited her to eat hot pot, Liang Bing still snorted coldly, "I'm not eating."

Lin Feng decided not to make a fool of himself.

Meanwhile, Wei Zhaoan returned to the Second Prince's residence.

He went straight to the study and met his father—the second prince, Wei Yang, who was over fifty years old.

Wei Yang was reading a book when his son came in. He put down the book and asked, "Is something the matter?"

Wei Zhaoan nodded and briefly explained how he purchased the glass beads.

How do we investigate Lin Feng's identity?

He reported every detail, from the transfer of ownership to showing Lin Feng the house, how he met Yu Lan, how he offered to help find a servant, and how he requested a calligraphy piece.

After listening, Wei Yang pondered for a moment and gave Wei Zhaoan an approving look.

"Zhao'an, I didn't expect that you, who are usually so unreliable, would do something so good this time."

Wei Yang said slowly, "Your choice not to try to please Miss Yu was a wise one."

Wei Zhaoan humbly accepted the instruction: "Father, who exactly is Miss Yu? Why does even our royal family have to give her a wide berth?"

Wei Yang shook his head: "Don't ask, you won't know even if you do."

All you need to remember is that she and we are not from the same world.

Trying to please her and gain benefits from her is too difficult.

However, the slightest carelessness could lead to utter destruction.

The entire royal family will be implicated.

The risk is too great; it's like playing with fire.

He paused, then continued, "Since Lin Feng and Miss Yu have a good relationship, then you should try to please Lin Feng."

It costs very little and won't cause any trouble.

Since he wants you to find some servants, do your best to find the best ones.

Wei Zhaoan smiled and nodded: "Yes, Father."

I've already given the orders: select the best from the Imperial Music Bureau and get the rejected candidates from the palace.

After pondering for a moment, Wei Yang suddenly said, "Since this Lin Feng is fond of women, how about this, you send Zhao Yi over there."

Wei Zhaoan was taken aback, then his expression changed drastically, and he said urgently:

"Dad, did I hear that right?"

You sent my sister there to be a maid?

That's absolutely unacceptable! I would never agree to it, even if you killed me.

That's my own sister! How could she be made a maid for someone else?!

Wei Yang glared at him unhappily and cursed:

"Idiot! When did I say I was going to be a maid?"

Can you please calm down?

Those who achieve great things must first learn to remain calm and composed!

Wei Zhaoan was stunned by the scolding and dared not utter a sound.

Wei Yang softened his tone and said:

"That girl from the Gu family is Lin Feng's woman, and she has a good relationship with Zhao Yi."

Isn't it normal to let Zhaoyi move around more?

It just so happens that Zhaoyi likes calligraphy and painting. Wasn't Lin Feng going to give you a piece of calligraphy?

Let the two of them get to know each other. A woman pursuing a man is easy, understand?

Wei Zhaoan breathed a sigh of relief and nodded repeatedly:

"Understood! Father is wise! Shall I go and make the arrangements now?"

Wei Yang nodded: "Mm."

Once the servants were chosen, they were all sent over.

Remember, find people who are quick and efficient and know how to serve others.

Those unruly and dishonest kids shouldn't be sent over to embarrass themselves.

Oh, and also, send some more fine silks from your residence as a small gift."

"Yes, Father!"

Just as Wei Zhaoan turned to leave, Wei Yang said again, "Stop."

Wei Zhaoan asked in confusion, "What's wrong with Father?"

"Where is the South China Sea glass bead you bought for 16,000 taels of gold?"

Wei Zhaoan's face fell, and he said with a pained expression, "Father, what are you doing?"

"Take it out."

"I haven't even warmed it up yet!"

Wei Yang didn't say anything more, but a stern look flashed across his face.

Seeing this, Wei Zhaoan reluctantly took out a glass bead from his pocket and handed it to Wei Yang.

Upon seeing the glass beads, Wei Yang's eyes lit up: "They're really nice, clear and transparent, perfectly round and beautiful."

The royal family is incredibly wealthy; your father has seen all sorts of treasures, but this South China Sea glass bead is the first time he's ever seen one.

"Spending 16,000 taels was worthwhile."

Wei Zhaoan looked reluctant to part with her.

Seeing this, Wei Yang said calmly, "Go to the treasury and get 20,000 taels of gold. I'll buy this South China Sea glass bead."

Wei Zhaoan was very unwilling, but he had no other choice.

The next morning, Wei Zhaoan arrived with a large entourage.

He was followed by forty people—twenty maids and twenty servants.

Everyone was carrying a roll of fine silk, colorful and piled up like a small mountain.

Lin Feng stood at the door, watching this scene, a slight smile playing on his lips.

His gaze swept over the maids, and he nodded inwardly.

Of the twenty maids, ten were tall, beautiful, and had outstanding temperament.

She was clearly a candidate for the imperial concubine selection process, and her demeanor was indeed beyond what ordinary people could match.

Lin Feng thought to himself, if he dressed them in knee-length skirts and black stockings, the video he filmed would be absolutely amazing.

The other ten maids, though slightly less attractive than the first ten, still had delicate and pretty features.

Those twenty servants were all energetic, none of them were ugly or deformed, and they all looked capable.

Standing next to Wei Zhaoan was a young woman dressed in a luxurious brocade dress.

She was tall and slender with stunningly beautiful features, and her eyes and brows bore a resemblance to Wei Zhao'an.

Lin Feng guessed that this might be Wei Zhaoan's sister.

He looked at Wei Zhaoan with a puzzled expression, wondering why this guy had brought his sister along.

Before Lin Feng could speak, Wei Zhaoan snapped his fingers.

"Aren't you going to greet them?"

The forty servants knelt down in unison and said, "Greetings, Master!"

The voices were perfectly synchronized, clearly indicating that they had been trained.

Lin Feng was secretly thrilled, finally feeling like a local tycoon.

I wonder if they received the same treatment as Heshen, who had to clean up his messes.

He forced a smile and nodded reservedly, "Yes, get up."

Wei Zhaoan smiled and said, "Young Master Lin, you can keep these people for a trial period."

If you're not satisfied, I'll get you a replacement batch; I guarantee you'll be happy.

Lin Feng said, "Thank you very much, Prince Wei. You've gone to a lot of trouble."

Wei Zhaoan waved his hand, smiling broadly:

"No need to be so polite. By the way, Young Master Lin, let me introduce you to someone."

He stepped aside and pointed to the woman beside him: "This is my sister, Wei Zhaoyi."

Wei Zhaoyi stepped forward, looking at Lin Feng with curiosity.

She wasn't stupid; Wei Zhaoan's purpose in bringing her here today was self-evident.

She sized up the young man in front of her. He was handsome and had an extraordinary air about him. He was quite pleasing to the eye.

Her cheeks flushed slightly, a hint of shyness flashed in her eyes, and she said softly, "Greetings, Young Master Lin."

Lin Feng smiled and said, "Your Highness is too kind. Please come in."
