Chapter 590: Being a Guest

With the enrollment of freshmen from government schools, rents in the Kangxue Street area have risen.

But their homeowner, the Yu family, did not raise the price, and still rented it to them at the previous price.

In Yu's words, if it weren't for them, his house would not be rented out at a low price, let alone sold at a reasonable price in the future.

It's like the Xiao family across the street now.

Now the rent in Kangxue Street has risen a lot, and there are still many people who cannot rent a house. Although the Xiao family is in prison, they have also put their house in the dental office.

But basically, people just inquired about it, and no one rented it even if the rent was reduced to one or two a month.

In particular, most of the renters in Kangxue Street are scholars, and scholars pay special attention to their reputation.

If you are just haunted rumors like Yu's house, the tenants will say "you don't speak, strange power and chaos" when you live in it, but if you choose to live in Xiao's house, even if you behave upright and sit upright, outsiders will speculate Do you have similar tastes with the Xiao family?

Or suspect that he is also interested in the Yan family next door.

Wei Chen followed them to the alley, looked outside, and praised: "This location is good, quiet in the middle of the noise, perfect for reading. Hey, this place looks familiar, I seem to have heard of this place when I came here. "

Bai Shanbao invited him in, and said with a smile, "This alley has been haunted before, so Brother Wei may have heard of it."

"Ah, I remembered. I heard that in order to occupy the neighbor's house, a family deliberately pretended to be ghosts and scares people, but they were smashed by three children..."

"You guys are back—" Bai Erlang, who was finally freed from his studies, ran out of the study like crazy when he heard Bai Shanbao's voice, and when he ran to the gate of the courtyard, he found that there was one more person, and quickly stopped in his tracks.

Bai Shanbao and Wei Chen introduced, "This is my junior brother, Bai Cheng, second in the family, and this is our new friend, Wei Chen, Mr. Wei Lang."

Wei Chen immediately smiled and said, "My parents only have one son, so you can call me Wei Da..." He paused slightly, looked at the three standing together suspiciously, and asked hesitantly, " That, the three children who discovered the haunting of the Xiao family in the legend..."

"It's us," Man Bao said, "but the rumors are a bit untrue, we are not children anymore."

Wei Chen smiled sheepishly, but was a little curious, "How did you find out that the Xiao family was haunted in the first place?"

"We didn't find out," Bai Shanbao said with a slight smile, "We thought he was a real ghost, so we wanted to have a chat with him, but he was so timid, so he yelled, and then we knew he was a ghost." It's fake."

Wei Chen: ...

Bai Shanbao took him to meet Mr. Zhuang.

Mr. Zhuang was completely surprised that Bai Shanbao made friends so early and brought them home as a guest.

If this is full of treasures, then it is reasonable, Shanbao...

Mr. Zhuang looked suspiciously at Bai Shan's face, and when he looked up at Wei Chen, he showed a kind smile.

Forget it, I'll ask later, and now I'll greet the guests first.

One of the great advantages of having a cook at home is that they no longer have to worry about not having enough food for guests who suddenly come to visit.

Because she can add dishes at any time, in addition to dishes, there are also some snacks that the masters love to eat, not only Bai Erlang, but Man Bao and Bai Shanbao also like it very much.

The cook finally bought enough materials for the kitchen in one day, so she spent half the afternoon making some snacks.

As soon as the guests came, she served the snacks.

Since coming to Yizhou, the three of them haven't had dim sum made by the cook for a long time.

Man Bao calculated with his fingers, feeling very emotional, "It's been more than a month."

"Yes, it's been more than a month." Bai Shanbao also sighed in the same way, then gave Wei Chen a moment, and gave the husband a piece of snack, and took one and ate it contentedly.

Wei Chen took a sip and said with a smile, "Your dim sum is indeed delicious, and it's no worse than the ones outside. How come it's been more than a month?"

"My cook just arrived yesterday."

After a little thought, Wei Chen understood that they had only just entered school, and it seemed that this cook was assigned later.

Then he was shocked by the wealth of Bai Shan's family, and thought to himself: Even his family, his father didn't say that he would be accompanied by a cook, Longzhou Bai family?

Wei Chen was a little embarrassed, it seemed that he had to write to ask his father about the Bai family in Longzhou.

Mr. Zhuang was very kind to people, and his experience was there, so although he didn't deliberately inquire, he had a few words with Wei Chen, and when he asked about his family, he guessed the origin of the other party.

Mr. Zhuang smiled slightly, "It turns out that your father is the governor of Longzhou Wei."

Wei Chen didn't expect him to recognize his father's name as soon as he said it, a little embarrassed, "Mr. Zhuang knows my father?"

After a pause, Mr. Zhuang smiled and said, "I just saw it, but it was a long time ago. I didn't expect you to be so old."

Wei Chen smiled a little embarrassedly, knowing that he probably met his father's acquaintance, but he didn't know it.

Mr. Zhuang asked: "I just entered the government school, is there anything I'm not used to?"

"That's not true, and the school has not officially started classes."

Mr. Zhuang nodded, "We have to wait for a few days. Some students have traveled a long way here, so they don't bring many books, so there are many things that are missing. Therefore, these two days are considered as the finishing time given by the school. In fact, there is no need to be so anxious , ask the instructor about the books to be taught this year, buy these first, and then add the rest slowly..."

Mr. Zhuang has been a student in the government school for many years. Although a long time has passed, the school is more stubborn than the court, so even after many years, most of the school has not changed.

Not even the scenery changed much, let alone other things.

So Mr. Zhuang's experience is worth listening to.

As for some experiences, Mr. Zhuang didn't tell Bai Shanbao because he wanted him to experience it himself, but he mentioned it to Wei Chen, which might not be very useful, so it was just a reminder.

It was the first time for Bai Shanbao to hear some things, so he was a little unhappy. After eating dinner and sending Wei Chen away, he complained to Mr. Zhuang, "Sir, why did you tell him, but didn't tell me, old students?" The official's preference?"

Mr. Zhuang asked with a smile, "I told you, will you try to curry favor with those school officials?"

Bai Shanbao paused and said: "No."

"That's all right?" Mr. Zhuang said with a smile: "Your personality is different from his, and it would be a waste of time to tell you these things. By the way, why do you think of bringing friends home as guests?"

"Since they are friends, they can naturally be brought home as guests."

Mr. Zhuang glanced at him with a half-smile, and said, "Have you known a friend for a long time?"

Bai Shanbao lowered his head and smiled in embarrassment, but he didn't tell his husband that he was targeted by the school officials in the school.

Mr. Zhuang didn't ask again, but sighed: "Although the government school is still a school, but because it has already involved the officialdom, so the worldly knowledge has become a study. Although it is not as good as the court's intrigues, there are also many competitions. It can be regarded as a school. It's a small court."
