Chapter 66: Renting a Haunted House
In the wind
Xiao Jiu staggered, walking from Taihe Lake to the streets of Linfen. She was afraid all the way, the medical hall was gone, Muzi was gone, and now Chunhua and Xiao Yuzi couldn't see each other.
There is only one little Shunzi left, and I don't know if I will be willing to wait for her in the cold wind. She has been lonely since she was a child, even if she begged and had a brother, she didn't dare to relax in her heart, and then she had Muzi, so she had a little sense of belonging. But he is still afraid of the night, afraid that one day his hidden face will be exposed, scaring Muzi and himself. Displaced again.
I have to say that only when she was in the four eaves of the Peach Blossom Forest did she really feel down-to-earth. I've never seen myself before, and I'm not so scared. The distance from Taihe Lake to Linfen Street. Almost half of the Jiangdu was circumvented, and Xiao Jiu staggered step by step. When I went there, the streets were bustling, but now they are deserted.
Her heart was empty, and as she walked, she craned her neck to look forward. Obviously there is still a distance, but it is full of hope, and I don't know if the night is too dark or if there is really no one. The long street was empty. It was easy to walk to the originally agreed place, and when I looked around, there was no one. Xiao Jiu opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to shout.
smiled faintly again, it is indeed true, people were originally willing to follow her, because the prince took care of her. Now that there is no prince, what good future can there be with her, Muzi can still marry a wife and have children, but Xiaoshunzi cannot. Suddenly feeling that the summer wind was so cold, Xiao Jiu hugged his knees and shrank in the wind. I didn't know where to go. But he didn't cry anymore. That tear was enough to break the tenacity in my heart, and it was fragile enough.
"Miss Ling!"
Xiao Jiu looked up suddenly, only to see Xiao Shunzi hugging two burdens and looking at her with a worried face. Seeing the person clearly, she immediately pounced on it, hugged the same thin Xiaoshunzi tightly, and the tears that were easy to hold back almost fell again.
Xiao Shunzi was so frightened that she didn't dare to move, until she let go of her hand, looked at her who seemed to be crying and laughing, and said: "There is a picker who sells wontons, thinking that the girl didn't eat, so I went to buy two bowls, I don't want to come back late, is the girl scared." ”
Xiao Jiu shook his head vigorously, and stopped talking. Xiao Shunzi was shrewd, and he didn't ask, and handed over the tight wontons in the bag. "Let's eat some first, I saw that you didn't come back for a long time, so I went to book two upper rooms first, I didn't ask you what you meant, and I'm afraid that there will be no house later, I'm afraid that you will be wronged."
Xiao Jiu only felt that his cold heart had returned to temperature, and the whole person was as excited as if he had been beaten with chicken blood. When she comes back, there is no reason to go again, and she must find a place for herself in Jiangdu. He ate a bowl of wontons and smiled again. "Let's go, let's find a place to drink wine and eat meat. Embrace the life you are about to begin. ”
Xiao Shunzi smiled shyly. "Hey!" the two of them ate and stuffed the sea in the restaurant, and drank and called themselves brothers and sisters. The room that was finally sent back by Xiao Er. I thought I could sleep until noon. I don't want the street to be lively, it doesn't seem to be quiet in the palace, the noise is so painful that the head hurts, and the person wakes up before the hour.
The little straight is even earlier. Dressed as usual, waiting at the door. Xiao Jiu rubbed his head and asked him, "I drank enough yesterday, why don't you sleep more?" Xiao Shunzi smiled shyly. "I'm used to it. Xiao Jiu rubbed his head and walked forward, "I'll grab some herbs in a while, and you can ask for two bowls of beef noodles to eat." “
Xiao Er on the side happened to pass by, and hurriedly said: "If the guest officer needs anything, just give an order." Next door is the security hall, you write a small recipe to buy. Xiao Jiu smiled with satisfaction, who said that you can only enjoy life in Yingwangfu, but this money is not much, so you have to use it tightly. smiled and refused, "It's written that it's troublesome, it's just a little medicine, just go back." But I have to ask the little brother about something. Do you know that there are more lively places nearby, but there are vacant shops for rent, preferably with a backyard, not too big or small. ”
Xiao Er saw that he couldn't earn broken silver from running errands, and he ate noodles, so he replied lightly: "I want to find Granny Niu in the morning market for this matter, and the houses around here are all rented and sold by her." After eating the noodles, turn left and you can see her, and she is the one who wears the most fancy.
Xiao Jiu thanked him, left the restaurant and entered the pharmacy. After preparing the medicine, I went back and mixed it with noodle soup and ate it, and the headache was immediately refreshing. Xiao Shunzi also praised it. The bazaar was lively, and I saw the fat cow from afar, red on the top and green on the bottom. said that her mother-in-law showed that she was a little old again. So Xiao Jiu approached and shouted, "Aunt Niu, are you Aunt Niu?"
Aunt Niu is also a middle-aged woman, and everyone is used to calling Granny Niu on weekdays, so she can argue again, she is an informant, and her name is very important. But to hear such a young and beautiful girl call her aunt, I couldn't tell how happy I was.
I was arguing with people with a sad face, but I came back with a smile. "Ouch, this girl is so smart, she likes it at first sight. Say, what's the matter with finding your aunt?" Xiao Jiu smiled again. "My brother and I just arrived in Jiangdu, and we want to find a shop to do some business, and I heard that people are coming to you, and from a distance, this peach-colored dress is very eye-catching, and I think it's you. But the introducer didn't say it right, so he didn't look carefully, and now that he looks at it, he should call your sister. ”
Xiao Shunzi almost laughed, but fortunately, Aunt Niu was beautiful in her heart and didn't care at all. "Ouch, this girl is really good at talking, let's go, my sister really has a set of shops in her hand, the shop outside is not big, but there is a sky inside, three wings, and a compound. ”
Xiao Jiu was happy to hear it and hurriedly followed. "Thank you, sister, my sister is really powerful. “
Aunt Niu smiled from ear to ear. "Let's go and see first. ”
Linfen Street in Jiangdu is the most lively, but half of it is the prince's property, Xiao Jiu is reluctant to get involved, and there is no spare money. Chunjin Street on the side is very good, although it is a little tortuous, but it is also very lively. Coming and going, shops, and folk are mixed in, and it is also an ideal place to open a medical center.
The place Aunt Niu said is right in the middle of Chunjin Street, and the shop doesn't look big, but it can also be divided into two rooms, one for medical treatment and the other for medicine. The best thing is the courtyard, like a small courtyard in Jincheng. Not only that, but there are also a few peaches and begonias planted in the corners. Three wings, one with two floors and two single rooms side by side. Stacked on the side, it's simple and beautiful. The house is fully furnished, and although it is not a fine wood, it is also exquisite. There is also a thatched kitchen next to it. It looks simple, but the stove inside is very clean. The people who lived before must have some self-cultivation. Xiao Jiu took a fancy to this shop at a glance, and hurriedly pinched Xiao Shunzi with his hand.
Xiao Shunzi is a human spirit, and immediately comprehends. With a heavy face, he said: "Sister, the two of us don't have much silver taels, and it is a waste to rent this house and not be able to live in it." ”
Xiao Jiu pretended to be angry. "How do you speak, this is a good house that Sister Niu pinched in her hands, if it weren't for the pity that we have no relatives and are not familiar with life, how can we take us to see this shop. ”
Xiao Shunzi pretended to be aggrieved and bowed his head and said nothing. Xiao Jiu hugged Aunt Niu embarrassedly. "Sister, it's really embarrassing for you, our sister and brother's family is ruthless, it's not easy to get here, this shop is good, but I don't know how the rent is?" Aunt Niu looked at Xiao Shunzi sympathetically, and even had a nasal voice. "Alas, I see that you are pitiful, this shop is really good, otherwise I will talk to the owner of the house, 100 taels of silver a month?"
Xiao Jiu was overjoyed in his heart, and said aggrievedly: "I can grit my teeth at this price, but the silver taels I bought are gone, and my brother is right, the backyard is so big, we can't live in it." Thank you so much, sister. “
Aunt Niu hurriedly stopped. "70 taels, my sister has decided on this matter, and I will tell the owner of the house. Xiao Jiuxi smiled and made a slight blessing. "Thank you, sister. Afraid that she would change her hanging again, she hurriedly drew a mortgage to pay the money and paid the rent for half a year first.
When Aunt Niu left, Xiao Jiu sat in the hall and laughed, and was a little worried, so he hurriedly asked Xiao Shunzi. "You say that the rent of our hospital is cost-effective? Now that I think about it, I think that Aunt Niu is too simple. Junko rubbed the table. "I think it's cost-effective, now the shops on Linfen Street are about one or two hundred taels, Chunjin Street is not as good as it, but the rent price is not low, at least one hundred taels up, this also has a house yard, I think it is really cheap. is still a girl, and she is praised to the sky in two sentences. ”
Xiao Jiu smiled proudly, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it. Hurriedly started cleaning up with Xiao Shunzi. Beidi rewarded 2,000 taels of silver this time, and the rent was 420 taels. Except for the small money for last night's accommodation, he still has 1,580 taels left on him.
Thought about it. "Junko, come here. ”
Xiao Shunzi was taking a huge broom to clean the yard, and when he heard his shout, he hurriedly came over. As previously agreed between the two. "Sister, what's the matter?"
Xiao Jiu took out a silver ticket of five hundred taels and handed it to the table. "I have never known how to manage accounts, this is for you, you save it first, in case of trouble. Xiao Shunzi was about to excuse himself, but Xiao Jiu said undeniably: "This is a plan for the future, you can't help but accept it." In the future, the account will be managed by you, and the monthly income will be divided equally between us. ”
Xiao Shunzi pinched the silver ticket, and had mixed feelings in his heart. But there were no words. Even thanks seem useless. If you make up your mind, you will definitely take care of the medical hall. Xiao Jiu was very satisfied, and said, "We have to go and make a good set of silver needles with an estimated value of about two hundred taels." The remaining medicinal herbs were purchased slightly. Tomorrow, let's go up the mountain to collect some standing medicinal herbs, and we can teach you casually. If you use it in the future, it can be regarded as a craft. The world is so big, you can travel all over the world. ”
Xiao Shunzi smiled. "My sister is so good, but I'm already a eunuch, and there is no future in life. When Xiao Jiu heard this, his heart was stunned. said very seriously: "I'm sorry Xiaoshunzi, I led you out, I thought it was good for you, but I forgot about your future." Xiao Shunzi smiled heartily. "What nonsense my sister is talking about, my little Shunzi never thought that she would be able to regain her freedom. Now that he can still study medicine, he has a better future than in the palace anyway. ”
"It's best if you think like that. Okay, let's go buy some normal supplies. Buy some more food and drinks, and let you taste my sister's craft tonight. ”
"Hey"
The two packed up their things and walked out happily, because if they want to do business, they must build good relations around them. Muzi is not by his side, Xiao Jiu laughs whenever he sees someone. But the pedestrians on the road pointed at them, but they did not dare to approach. It's as if they have a ghost in them.
