When the three guards saw someone stopping their girl, they immediately blocked Jiang Chengzi. Xiao Jiu shouted unhappily: "Look at the son's dress, he is also a rich and noble family." Please respect yourself. ”

Zhang Jia ignored Xiao Jiu, just looked at Jiang Chengzi, and asked a little eagerly: "Ah Zhi, aren't we friends?"

"How do you define a friend?" Jiang Chengzi asked rhetorically. She really hated this kind of behavior of coercing people with feelings.

Zhang Jia said loudly: "Thinking about the other party, I can go to the soup for the other party." ”

"Then we're not. Jiang Chengzi said very calmly, and then added, "According to what Zhang Gongzi said, I can't go to the soup for you." Now, I can do the icing on the cake for you at most, but I can't do it in the snow. ”

"You-" Zhang Jia's face changed with anger, only the word "you" bit between his lips and teeth, and his eyebrows were full of anger.

"The girl has spoken, and asked the son not to block the way. Xiao Jiu said again.

Zhang Jia glanced at him and shouted, "It's not your turn to speak as a guard here." ”

Xiao Jiu was about to retort, Jiang Chengzi waved his hand to signal him not to say more, and Xiao Jiu stepped aside. Jiang Chengzi said calmly: "Luoshui Grange is not adjacent to the official road, nor is it a place of interest. Zhang Gongzi appeared in the apricot blossom forest behind my Zhuangzi for no reason, which was abrupt, and then, Gongzi proposed to me who only took a face, which was a big joke in the world. ”

"What's so funny?" Zhang Jia's face was terrifying.

Jiang Chengzi knew that he must be very angry, but she didn't want to drag the mud and water, and wanted to make her entanglement with him clear today. So, even if you see him angry. She also said calmly: "It's funny, where is the love and hate for no reason in this world?"

Zhang Jia's face was like the sky when a storm came, and it was terrifyingly dark. In the daylight of March. He pursed his lips tightly, as if the next moment, the whole person would be furious.

"You're right. After a long time, he popped out these words from between his teeth, and his expression of gritting his teeth made Xiao Jiu and the three of them can't help but raise the danger index in front of them by several levels.

"Since Your Excellency has admitted it, there is no need to inquire whether they are friends or not. "Jiang Chengzi wants a quick solution.

But he didn't want to. Instead, he turned around again, still blocking her way, and said, "There is no love and hate in this world for no reason. So. I'm not for nothing with you. On that day, at the inn, I also told you. I said there was a reason, and I said at the time. When the time comes. I will tell you. Since this is the case today, I will not wait until I tell you now. ”

"But I don't want to hear it. Jiang Chengzi said calmly. It's not that she's not curious, but she's a big fool herself, making up nonsense one after another, and it sounds seamless. She didn't want to listen to what Zhang Jia said. Because once you listen to something, you may have more danger and responsibility. She didn't want to make any waves in her life when the current peaceful life was about to come.

"You. You said you wanted to know that day. Zhang Jia was very puzzled. He frowned, feeling as if he had lived in a past and present life. None of them really knew this woman. She was obviously very close to him, but for some reason, he felt that he had never been near her.

"This time, that time. Jiang Chengzi lowered his eyes, and then said slowly, "Childe, between people, it is important to be honest. Childe is grateful to Ah Zhi. However, since Childe regards me as a friend. Then you should know that friends should be in moderation. Childe started from Luoshui Grange, your appearance was very abrupt, and what you did was very unreasonable. No matter who you change, you will be suspicious. ”

"I—" Zhang Jia was eager to defend himself.

Jiang Chengzi immediately interrupted him and said, "Maybe Gongzi has his own difficulties. But I don't want to hear it, I'm a person who feels it. If I feel that this person is not a person who is of the same path as me, I will part ways from the bottom of my heart, and I will not care why he is not a person of the same path as me. ”

Zhang Jia is a smart person, and when he heard Jiang Chengzi's words, his expression changed from his previous anger to sadness. He knew that Jiang Chengzi was very unkind to see him at the moment, and even a little disgusted by his actions. He only blamed himself for being too eager for quick success, wanting to get close to her too much, but forgetting how smart Ah Zhi was.

Jiang Chengzi looked at the flamboyant sadness on his face, and he couldn't bear it in his heart, but he still continued to say directly: "Your appearance was very purposeful from the beginning. Luoshui Grange, Yizhou, all the way to here. Zhang Gongzi, it's hard for me to be careless and defenseless to treat you as a friend. ”

"Listen to me. Zhang Jia heard this and said eagerly.

Jiang Chengzi shook his head and said, "You don't have to explain. The coming days are long, and you let me see with my own eyes. Lu Yao knows that the horsepower has been seen for a long time. If Zhang Gongzi really has a calculating heart for me, it will be seen after a long time. If Zhang Gongzi has a pure heart for Ah Zhi, time can also give you and me an answer. Today, you don't have to explain anything. ”

Zhang Jia nodded helplessly, his face was as dead as ashes, but he still asked without giving up: "Can I stay by your side?"

"Please also ask the son to respect himself. Jiang Chengzi sighed, then moved his gaze to the undulating gray tile wooden wall in the distance, and said slowly.

Zhang Jia stood for a moment, and finally turned to leave. Jiang Chengzi stood in place, she knew that she must have broken his heart, but she couldn't help it. I'd rather let herself be unhappy and fulfill other people's things, she can't do it, and she can't do it. At the end of the day, she is someone who lives by following her heart.

"Girl, the man is gone. Xiao Jiu reminded loudly.

Jiang Chengzi said "um", took a deep breath, and threw away the slightest guilt of Fang Cai. Then, she strode forward, and according to the plan she had drawn up last night, she would first go to the house in the East End.

The East End is not far from the inn, and it takes about a quarter of an hour to walk to the East End boundary. Although the Eastern District is an area where the noble and wealthy are located, it is not as expensive as the Northern District. As a result, there are very few houses with their doors open on the main street. The door Jiang Chengzi is looking at now is not on the main street, but in Ruiyifang, which is close to the county office.

The layout of the city in the Tang Dynasty was that the main streets were spacious, rich in the east and expensive in the west (but also depending on the situation). Mainly square (Fang is a boxy area, limited to households, unified with a square door, night curfew. The door of the fang fell, and it was not allowed to enter or exit), a private mansion. The powerful can open the main gate on the main street, and the rest can only open the side door in the alley.

The door of the house in this part of the eastern district is open in the alley, and on the other side of the alley is Ruiyifang, which is close to the county office. Xiao Jiu came to inquire about the news, this place is the house of a small official who has been promoted to Yizhou City, and it is a courtyard house. Three main rooms. There are two ear chambers on each side, plus the east and west wings and the inverted room, which is enough for the Yang family to live in six rooms.

"Girl. It was late yesterday, and my subordinates didn't come to see it in person. Now I see, it's too small, too simple. Xiao Jiu said immediately.

If it's plain. Or simply somewhere. Instead of coming to office. Jiang Chengzi felt that this house was not bad, it was enough for their family to live in. But now, his father is coming to take office, although this house is quite close to the county government, but in the end it is colder. If you live here, don't say that others look down on Yang's sixth room, even the foreshadowing that Yang Chen did before would be in vain.

Jiang Chengzi also agreed with Xiao Jiu's statement, and said to the broker: "This place is cold. It's a little smaller, so you can take us to the North District to have a look. ”

The broker was a black-faced man in his thirties. As soon as he heard that the guests couldn't look down on the room here and wanted a big house, he immediately smiled and took Jiang Chengzi and his party to the North District.

Jinyuan County is a small county in the end, which is quite special. The basic north area of the big city is the government office area, which is rich in the east and expensive in the west, and the slum area in the south. Because the office area of this Jinyuan County is in the eastern district, and the northern district is close to the mountain, the environment is quiet, so it has become a place where many powerful and wealthy people build mansions. It can be said that in the northern district of Jinyuan County, stopping a carriage casually, no matter how big or small, has to be a character.

This time, there are a total of three houses in the North District that the broker took them to see. They are all mansions with three entrances and three gardens and exquisite pavilions, and the doors are all open on the main street of the North District.

The first house, the house is relatively new, fully furnished, and you can see that this house is quite painstaking, and the price is also cheap. But when Jiang Chengzi asked the owner of the house why he wanted to sell the house, the man's eyes wandered, stopped for dozens of seconds, and then said a reason. Jiang Chengzi even concluded that this person was lying.

It's not that she's superstitious, she's a murderous house or something, she definitely won't buy it.

Therefore, she shook her head and said, "Your Excellency intends to fool me as a foreigner, and with such sincerity, I will have to consider a few points for your house." ”

It was probably because there was a problem with this house that it couldn't be sold, and when the man saw that Jiang Chengzi was not selling, he immediately stopped it, and truthfully said that this house had indeed died. Because this house is leaning against Anning Mountain, many people use Anning Mountain as a backyard, although this is a connection to the countryside, there is a kind of elegance that literati and ink writers like. But in the end, if you are leaning against the mountain, it will be more difficult to protect and defend it. A group of bandits came over the mountain from Anning Mountain to rob and killed the eldest son of the family on the spot. The old lady was so sad that the family moved to Meizhou, so the house had to be sold.

"If you're honest now, I'm not going to buy it. I'll tell you the truth, I don't buy murderous houses. Jiang Chengzi replied.

The man scolded a few words, and Xiao Jiu wanted to punish the man. Jiang Chengzi shook his head and said, "Let him go." ”

The four of them then looked at two more houses, and one of them was a little old in front of the house. However, the furniture is a complete set, the owner of the house was the county order of Jingyuan County before, and he had just been promoted to Kuizhou, so he moved his family to sell the house here.

This house is also the most expensive of the three, and the price is one hundred and twenty yuan, which is equivalent to twenty taels of gold.

In fact, this price is not expensive in this area, but Jiang Chengzi still cut down thirty yuan stubbornly. She walked around, found a bunch of things that needed to be maintained, and said that the backyard was not well fortified, and that the rogue could easily invade. If they had bought the house, they would have to make a back wall.

In addition to finding this house in many places that need to be maintained, Jiang Chengzi also picked that the feng shui of this house is not very good, and this feng shui is not very good, and this feng shui is invited to Qingcheng Mountain Taoist priest to go down the mountain, which is also a lot of money.

After several price reductions, the other party gritted his teeth and agreed.

Both parties rejoiced and signed their respective contracts. Jiang Chengzi immediately paid the full amount, and the title deed was written in the name of Yang Qing and A-Niang. Then, the chauffeur quickly hired someone to clean up here, and gave the broker some benefits, which was a good thing. After that, she walked to the market, and Xiao Jiu naturally followed inch by inch.

The two walked for a while, and the daylight was just right. Xiao Jiu touched his head and said, "Girl, the house is actually fine, you lower the price like that, how do you know that the other party will definitely agree?"

"Xiao Jiu, as a guard, you are very good at kung fu, which is very good. But good kung fu does not mean that you can be a qualified guard. Jiang Chengzi stood with his hands in his hands, looked at the gurgling lake, and remembered that many years ago in the barracks, the instructor seemed to have said something similar wrong.

Xiao Jiu was a little puzzled, scratched his head, and said a little embarrassedly: "Girl, subordinates, subordinates don't understand." ”

"Then let me put it simply, as a guard, in addition to being good at kung fu, you must also be good at observing and speculating on people's hearts. For example, Fang Cai, I asked about the situation of the former head of the family, and learned that he had only been in office here for three years and was promoted to Kuizhou. But you look at the house definitely for more than three years. And some places are a little dilapidated, but it can be seen that the owner of the house does not have much spare money. Now, he has been promoted again, and the people of officialdom need money to pay for it. Jiang Chengzi said slowly.

When Xiao Jiu heard this, he opened his mouth in surprise and said, "My subordinates, I didn't pay attention to these at all. ”

"From now on, you start to pay attention. If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask me. Jiang Chengzi replied.

Xiao Jiu was very happy to say "hey", and then said, "Girl, I was about to ask, where are you going?"

"Make a plaque. With that, she strode to the market. Because the price could be afforded, after a while, the plaque with the word "Yang Fu" was ready, and the store personally sent a carriage to the house to place it properly.

Jiang Chengzi arranged for Xiao Jiu to pick up people at the city gate, she walked around the courtyard at will, and finally chose a room in the West Wing as her bedroom. After that, I looked into the back garden. The back garden of this house is quite large, but the former owner of the house was negligent in management, and it is a bit of Lu Xun's feeling of a hundred herb gardens.

Jiang Chengzi ordered people to clean up this back garden and set aside a piece of land as his own flower garden test field. She also decided to circle a courtyard here in a few days, and no idlers were allowed to disturb her. I want to grow potatoes and sweet potatoes here.

There is a place to settle down, and there is a test field. For the time being, there is still money, and this is finally settled. Jiang Chengzi leaned against the corridor in the back garden, relieved.

About noon, the convoy of Yang's six rooms slowly entered Jinyuan County. The public assigned to Shoucheng, Shoucheng looked at the county Cheng, but looked up and saw that it was under the banner of the Yang family, obviously the children of the family came, thinking that the other party was afraid that the other party would come here to study and experience life, and he could not be offended, so he respectfully let him go.

The convoy slowly entered the city and went straight to the North District, and the entire Jinyuan County knew that the children of the famous Yang family had come to Jinyuan County. It was Fengdang who sent them to Jinyuan County to observe the people's feelings.

All of a sudden, the whole city almost poured out to see the legendary famous family. Therefore, from the east gate to the north area, in a short time, Yang's convoy traveled for half an hour. (To be continued......)
