In the south of Ganquan County, the streets are dirty and messy, and you can see ragged and unkempt homeless people lying crookedly on the side of the street everywhere, and a foul smell comes to the nose. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Xu Xiangwan's family asked for two rooms at the Mishi Inn, one room for Zhang's mother and daughter, one room for Wulang and Xiao Jiu, each room costs 20 wen a day, and two rooms cost 40 wen a day.

Things in the county seat are expensive, and a breakfast cost Xu Xiangwan forty yuan, plus the accommodation fee of the inn, it cost eighty yuan just after entering the county.

This made Xu Xiangwan, who had just earned more than 20 taels of silver, painful.

After finding accommodation, Xu Xiangwan, Wulang and Xu Qiuyi left the inn and went straight to the west of the city.

Zhang's family is a woman's family, and it is inconvenient to go out, so she stays at the inn to tidy up her clothes, and Xiao Jiu stays at home to accompany Zhang.

The west of the city is a distribution center for merchants and markets, as well as mule and horse markets, vegetable markets, restaurants, gambling houses, and so on.

Compared with Guojia Town, Ganquan County is really prosperous, and Xu Xiangwan can't take his eyes off it.

It is a long way to walk from the south of the city to the west of the city, but fortunately, the streets of Ganquan County are in the shape of a tic-tac-toe, although it is prosperous and lively, it is not difficult to get lost.

The main purpose of Xu Xiangwan's brother and sister on the street was to find a few brokers and inquire about the housing prices in the county to see if they could buy cheap houses. The second is that Xu Qiuyi wants to find the embroidery village to see if she can get some embroidery work back to do, Xu Qiuyi and Zhang's embroidery work is good, and now they live in the county town and spend a lot of money, and doing some embroidery work can more or less subsidize the family.

After walking for about half an hour, the sun was already rising in the east, and the market was full of people, so it was not lively.

Suddenly, Xu Xiangwan's eyes lit up, and he pointed to the tea horse market in front of him and said, "Brother, let's find someone to inquire?"

Most brokers do not have shops and only operate in a relatively fixed area, and such a place where tea and horses are traded should be a concentration of brokers.

Gorou hurriedly took two steps, caught up with Xu Xiangwan, and found an old man with a kind face and asked about it.

When the old man saw that it was a few children, he was also kind, and smiled and pointed out to Xu Xiangwan and a few men sitting on the edge of the market.

Gorou politely thanked the old man, and then took Xu Xiangwan and the two sisters to the market.

Among the several brokers, a middle-aged man with a dark face looked honest and didn't talk much, and when he saw Xu Xiangwan and them come forward, he just smiled innocently, neither like some brokers who were enthusiastic about soliciting, nor like some brokers who watched people cook.

Gorou then found the black-faced broker.

According to the broker's surname Zhong, there are several houses to be sold in the county, and even the cheapest ones cost more than 40 taels, and with the little silver in Xu Xiangwan's hand, he couldn't afford it at all.

If you can't afford to buy a house, you have to rent it.

There are many people in the county, merchants gather, and there are naturally many people who rent houses, and now there are only three vacant houses that this bell tooth boy knows. A two-entry house, located in the north of the city, is the former Xuezheng's house, because a few days ago transferred to other counties, the yard is empty, can be rented and sold, the rent is forty taels of silver a year. A small courtyard with a single entrance, located in Jinnan Street in the east of the city, has a rent of 15 taels of silver a year. The cheapest is the large miscellaneous courtyard in the octagonal lane in the south of the city, and there are still three vacant wings in the west in the courtyard, and the rent for a year is only four taels of silver.

The three brothers and sisters are not familiar with Ganquan County, and they are still in the clouds when they listen to Zhong Yayu's introduction, and they have no concept in their minds.

Zhong Yayu saw that Xu Xiangwan and the three of them were confused, so he offered to take the three of them to see the house.

Xu Xiangwan took the lead in responding to the problem, which can be regarded as finding a familiar free guide, and just took them around the county.

Zhong Yayu didn't say much, but he said everything on the point, just a circle of introduction, so that Xu Xiangwan and others had a general understanding of the pattern of Ganquan County.

The county government of Ganquan County is located in the north of the city, so the public security in the north of the city is the best, the people are upright, almost the road is not forgotten, the house is not closed at night, and no one makes trouble for many years.

The people living in the north of the city are all nobles, not only the county government is in the north of the city, but also the Xue family, which is known as the four masters of Yizhou Mansion, also has a house in the north of the city. The east of the city is the residence of the wealthy families, which is not much different from the north of the city, the streets are clean and the environment is elegant. The west of the city is a commercial concentration area such as tile market and shops, where clothing, food, housing and transportation can be purchased. The south of the city is the slum of Ganquan County, where the people living here are all poor people such as homeless people, hawkers, and laborers, so the south of the city is also the most chaotic place, and there are often fights and brawls, and it is not normal for a few people to die a year.

After walking around, Xu Xiangwan's favorite is the Xuezheng house in the north of the city, but as an ordinary person, the house in the north of the city is not qualified to live, so it is naturally excluded from the scope of consideration. The second is the small courtyard in the west of the city, although the surrounding environment is noisy, but in the end it is a single house, the utility room, kitchen, and wing room are complete, there are two rooms with dilapidated bed frames, and there are a lot of old furniture that can be used when picking up, which is more complete than the east wing of the Xu family, and what makes Xu Xiangwan more fond is that there is a small flower bed made of stone in the yard, which is planted with all kinds of flowers and plants. Although the rent of the large compound in the south of the city is cheap, there are many people in the courtyard, the stove room and the latrine are shared, and there is a miasma everywhere, and most of the people living in it are single men, which is really inappropriate for widows and weak children like them.

Because renting a house is a big matter, Gorou and Xu Xiangwan are not easy to assert, although the Zhang family has always accommodated them, but in the end, they still have to inform the Zhang family before making sure.

After making an appointment with Zhong Yayu to meet at the Mishi Inn tomorrow, Xu Xiangwan and the three brothers and sisters found a few embroidery villages and inquired, paid a deposit, received some embroidery work, and then returned to the inn.

It was already noon when I returned to the inn, because the food in the inn was not cheap, and I couldn't make my own food, Zhang took out the pancakes prepared yesterday and shared them with everyone.

Taking advantage of the time to eat, Gorou gave the Zhang family a rough talk about the morning house inspection, and the Zhang family wanted to save money, but considering the safety of his family, the Zhang family still felt that the small courtyard in the west of the city was more suitable.

Wulang and Xu Xiangwan have the same thoughts, Xu Qiuyi has no opinion, not to mention Xiao Jiu, who has always looked at the Wulang brothers and sisters.

So the family decided to rent a house, and today's accommodation fee has been paid in advance, and it is inconvenient to move, so they will move after they settle down tomorrow and Zhong Yayu.

In addition, Xu Qiuyi told the Zhang family about the situation from the embroidery village, and after hearing that the embroidery had been brought home, the Zhang family was also very happy.

Although Zhang has never said it, her heart disease has always existed. As a mother, not only did she fail to bring any benefits to the family, but she became seriously ill every three days and a minor illness every two days, dragging the children down enough. She wants to be a dependent on her children, and she doesn't want to rely on them anymore.

Seeing that Zhang's eyes were happy, a pair of eyes were shining, and Xu Xiangwan was also happy.

Xu Xiangwan was most afraid that the Zhang family would not get used to it after moving out of Xujia Village, and she would have heart disease again, but now she looks full of fighting spirit, which is really a good thing. ****************************
