Chapter 529: Decision

Yaren immediately said: "Guest officer, the villain feels that what the young master and the young ladies said is reasonable, and the ghosts and gods are rumored by the neighbors, but it may not be true."

But it doesn't have to be fake.

Mr. Zhuang glanced at Yaren and said, "Please help us find another suitable house."

"Okay, guest officer, come with me."

They don't have much time, and Yizhou City is not like Luojiang County, it is very big, even if it is only two or three streets near Fuxue, the place is not small.

It takes a lot of work to see what is vacant here, and the houses that meet the requirements are also very laborious.

They watched three of them in a row and were not very satisfied. They were either too small to live in, too noisy, or the price was too high.

The Yaren led them to go back and look at the next street. When they reached an alley, they couldn't help but stop, and said to several people: "Guest officials, look in, the one in the innermost One is the house I mentioned earlier, shall we go and see it?"

Mr. Zhuang frowned, turned his head to look at the avenue not far away, and along that avenue was the gate of Fuxue.

He lowered his head again, and met the shining eyes of the last three disciples, and paused if he wanted to refuse.

Yes, he didn't want to make trouble, but if he avoided it too deliberately, he would instead send bad information to the three disciples.

Mr. Zhuang shook his head and smiled, waved his hand and said, "Okay, now that we've come here, let's take a look."

The Yaman led them forward immediately, and warmly introduced to Mr. Zhuang: "Look, sir, this alley is spacious, and it is very convenient for carriages to enter and exit, and it is a certain distance from the avenue, so it is very secluded, but it is not far from the avenue. far away."

"When you enter the avenue, you can go straight to the school, so the house here has never been worrying about renting, especially this family's." Yaren opened the door and invited them in to have a look.

There is a big sycamore tree at the entrance, which covers half of the yard from the sun, making it very cool.

The yard is not small, and the stables, kitchen, and furniture are all complete and elegant. Even Mr. Zhuang, who was not satisfied at first, was a little moved at this time.

Yaren was good at observing words and expressions, and immediately said: "I want you to know, because this house is secluded and spacious. It is not only close to the government school, but also separated from Yan's house by a wall, so the people who rented here in previous years were all the students of the government school. Very sought after."

Mr. Zhuang asked: "Then who rented it for the past two years? It seems that this yard cannot be rented out."

"It has been vacant for half a year, and further ahead is rented by a businessman, and further forward is rented by a student from a government school."

Mr. Zhuang asked with a smile, "Have they all seen ghosts?"

"Well, after hearing the rumors, the merchant moved out after three months and found it unlucky. The scholar said that he heard crying, but who has seen this ghost?" The tooth man said: "There are also people around here. Someone else, maybe the crying he heard came from someone else's house?"

Mr. Zhuang turned to look at the three disciples, and asked with a smile, "Do you all like it?"

Bai Shanbao and Man Bao nodded viciously, while Bai Erlang looked around and hesitated before moving.

Everyone looked at him together.

Bai Erlang pointed to his fingers and asked, "What if there are ghosts?"

Man Bao: "Shall we go meet her?"

"Okay, we've settled on this house," Mr. Zhuang said decisively, "But we are renting short-term, only about half a year."

"It's easy to talk about, easy to talk about," Yaren was very happy, "The landlord is easy to talk to, as long as it's over three months, he will rent it."

As long as it can be rented out for more than three months, the landlord promises to pay him the first month's rent, and he still has an income from the tenant.

The Yaman was very happy to lead them back to the Yaya Bank to go through the formalities. After they paid the money, he gave them the key and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will go to Lizheng to say hello. You just need to stay at ease."

Seeing his dedication, Mr. Zhuang saluted and said with a smile, "Thank you."

"Where, where, by the way, there is no well in the yard," said Yaren, "If you want to buy water, there is a man guarding a cart on the south side of the alley, just call him, or you can pick it yourself. The well is one and a half miles south of the alley."

The three little ones yelled "It's so far away" in their hearts at the same time, and decided decisively to buy water.

Mr. Zhuang also thought that buying water should be done by Daji.

They first went back to the inn to pick up Zhou Zhoulang and the carriage, and then went back to the newly rented courtyard together.

Mr. Zhuang was old, and he was very tired after running around all day, so he sat still after the three little ones cleaned a chair.

Daji has already gone to buy water, Zhou Zhoulang rolled up his sleeves to clean up the house, Man Bao and the other three naturally also rolled up their sleeves to help.

The owner seemed to come and tidy it up from time to time, but there was still a lot of dust on the tables, chairs, so everything like the beds had to be cleaned.

But if they want to live for a long time, I am afraid they have to buy new quilts.

It's only March now, and the weather is still cold, so it must be covered with a quilt.

The five of them worked together, and when Mr. Zhuang opened his eyes after closing his eyes for rest, it was already dark. Then Daji bought food from outside and came back, the house had been cleaned, and even new quilts were bought.

Zhou Zhoulang said quietly to Man Bao: "Fortunately, my parents gave me the money before I came here, otherwise it would be too expensive to buy so many things."

Man Bao didn't care and said, "I have money."

Zhou Zhoulang asked curiously, "How much money do you have?"

"I won't tell you, it's enough anyway." Man Bao thought for a while and said, "This time Bai Shan and Bai Er spent their own money on their study tour, and they didn't give any money from their family."

Zhou Zhoulang was stunned, "It's not right that you earn money like this. Although you earn the same, your money is only half of theirs, right?"

After all, Manbao has to hand over half of it to the public.

Only then did Man Bao become surprised, "Yeah, I forgot, I also handed over half of my family's money, they have more money than me."

Zhou Zhoulang: ...he turned around and left.

Man Bao followed behind him to comfort him, "Fourth brother, don't be afraid, even if it's only half, my money is enough, at worst we spend less."

"Okay, if you spend less, you will spend less. By the way, go and play by yourself tomorrow, I won't follow."

"What are you going to do?"

"I went to the pharmacy in Yizhou City to inquire about it. This time I brought a bag of Ligustrum lucidum and dried ginger from home. I want to see how much the medicinal materials are here."

Last year, the wild Ligustrum lucidum and the 15 Ligustrum lucidum trees that survived on the mountain at home all bore fruit. With Lu Zhi around, the family is more proficient in processing medicinal materials, and the Ligustrum lucidum produced is not only large in quantity, but also of good quality.

And the old ginger grown in their family, and the old ginger grown in Manbao's small farm, not only occupied the market in this county, but also in the neighboring county, and sold the rest to the pharmacy.

However, last winter, the shopkeeper Zheng of the pharmacy lowered the price.

He told Man Bao that although they are friends, they still have to talk about business.

So Zhou Zhoulang took these two things with him when he went out this time, and wanted to see how the prices were in Yizhou.

The next chapter is around ten thirty in the evening
