Chapter Twenty-Nine: A Narrow Road Encounter
Wei Zi thought about it, but still didn't say that his mother was Wei Dahua. Writing "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info she only came to rent a house in front of herself, and she was afraid that if she said it, this uncle would have to let him find a master to come over, which would be even more troublesome.
The thin old man squeezed out half of his body, and clung to the door with both hands, fearing that he would close the door as soon as he entered. He glanced Wei Zi up and down, shook his head with a serious look in his eyes, and spoke.
"This little brother, it's not that my old man looks down on you, I'm afraid you can't afford to rent this house, you might as well find a smaller place to take a look."
Wei Zi saw that he underestimated himself, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, and his eyes glanced at him.
"There's no reason to kick out the guests who come to the door, and the uncle hasn't said the price yet, so why do you think I can't afford to rent? Besides, I have to see what's going on in the rented house, in case I don't like it myself, I don't want to rent it, and I haven't tried it. ”
The old man frowned and thought about it carefully.
Originally, he was just a porter, and he didn't know when the master would come back, so he didn't dare to go home at all, and he didn't dare to bring his wife and daughter here. Fortunately, the old man was willing to rent it out, which also relieved the troubles in his heart.
Although this little brother is still a little smaller, his face is immature, and he is still wearing coarse clothes with patches. But it looks like a clear eyebrow, which always gives people a sense of trustworthiness, and it won't be deliberately playing tricks on purpose.
Thinking of this, the old man finally opened the door to a slit for one person to pass through. Wei Zi was afraid that he would regret it again, so he hurriedly drilled over. As soon as she entered, the old man immediately stuck the door.
Seeing Wei Zi staring at him in surprise, he quickly smiled apologetically and shook his head.
"Little brother, don't blame me for being too careful, this old man is too careful, it's really a big place, but I'm the only one. In case some bandits rush in, I'm afraid that I will fail the master's instructions before leaving, so I'll take you to see the house? ”
Wei Zi chuckled in his heart, staring at the old man tightly, his eyes unblinking, for fear that he would tell a lie.
"There are often bandits around this house?"
When the old man saw that he was speechless, he hurriedly slapped himself in the mouth and said obediently.
"Look at my stinky mouth, it's scared little brother, isn't it? Actually, it's just that I'm scared here, so I'm cranky. If there are really any bandits, can I still introduce you to a house here? ”
Wei Zi squinted his eyes and stared at the old man carefully, making sure that he was really not lying before nodding.
In the future, all the people living in this house are girls' families, and if there is such a danger, it must not be ignored. Besides, although Xie Mengxin doesn't live here, she may occasionally stay overnight, if something happens to her, she really can't afford to lose her eight heads.
Although Master Zhang is a rich man, the decoration is really as Wei Dahua said, very beautiful. This is a three-entry house, which is naturally not as independent as the Xie family, but it is very careful in the arrangement of flowers and trees.
The most satisfying thing for Wei Zi is the outermost martial arts arena, maybe it is to train his own children, Master Zhang is very far-sighted to set up a huge open space, with arrow targets and dummy sandbags, which saves Wei Zi's heart.
Although I don't know where to put this kind of thing, I also have all kinds of things such as tables, chairs and beds, and although I haven't looked closely, it is enough. Anyway, I don't live here for a long time, and it doesn't matter if there are furnishings or not. There are flowers and plants everywhere in the yard, how rare it is that there is not, even if there is, I am afraid that it will be taken by Master Zhang, where is it the turn to get Wei Zi.
It can be seen that this old man is a diligent man, although Master Zhang has been gone for a while, the tables and chairs in the room have not fallen into dust, not to mention how clean they are, at least they look like it. It's not clean and it doesn't depend on him, after all, there are too many rooms, and he's just one person.
"Uncle, I can't see that you are quite diligent, you cleaned such a large place by yourself!"
The old man smiled innocently, scratched the top of his head, and rubbed his hands embarrassedly. Although the Zhang family can be regarded as a big family in these ten miles and eight villages, of course, it cannot be compared with those in Jinyang City, but there are not many porters as simple as this old man.
"I just thought, even if our master doesn't come back, this house will always be a little popular. If the house is not occupied for a long time, it will be dilapidated, but it can't be like this. I'm just taking advantage of the cleaning to make the house a little popular and not rotten. Originally, our lord wanted to take me with him, but my wife and daughter are still here, and I can't leave them behind. ”
Wei Zi felt a trace of respect in his heart, looked at the old man and nodded, and said in a gentle tone.
"Uncle, I have taken a fancy to this house, why don't you tell me what the price is? I only rent it for half a year. ”
The old man rubbed his hands and looked at Wei Zi embarrassedly.
"Little brother, it's not that I don't want to rent it to you, it's really a sky-high price, and I can't be the master!"
"You just say it directly, the price is not a matter for you to consider, whether to rent or not, I know in my heart."
Wei Zi waved her hand directly, she had a thousand taels of silver in her hand, not to mention renting, even if she bought it, she might be able to afford it, she didn't believe that she wouldn't be able to rent it.
"Five taels of silver a month, thirty taels for half a year. Little brother, if you have a few dozen taels, you can buy a small house from the city, so why rent here? ”
The old man persuaded Wei Zi bitterly, although he also wanted to go home early, but seeing that the situation at Wei Zi's house was not very good, he couldn't bear it.
His monthly money is also quite a lot, two taels a month! But if you want to rent this house for half a year, you have to save for more than a year without eating or drinking, can this little brother take it out?
Wei Zi was indeed surprised in her heart, she thought it would be a better price. It's because she hasn't rented a house and doesn't know anything about it. This house is big, but the location is not good, the price is not high, and it is not low.
It's just that she only has a thousand taels of silver tickets on her, and there is no broken silver, even if she wants to give it now, I'm afraid the old man won't be able to find it.
"Uncle, I can rent this house, but I have to go back and get the money. After all, with so much silver, I can't stay on me, don't you? ”
The old man only thought that Wei Zi was afraid of this price and retreated, so naturally he would not embarrass her, and smiled.
"Child, this money is too much, where can ordinary people like us live in such a good house? You're going to find a smaller one that's cheaper. ”
Wei Zi couldn't cry or laugh, but her heart was warm, she knew that the old man was also kind, so naturally she wouldn't think that she was underestimating herself. At first, I thought this was a difficult old man to get along with, but now after saying a few words, I realized that this person is really honest and completely considerate of others.
"Uncle, don't worry so much, I won't make fun of you, if I didn't really have this money, I'm afraid I wouldn't have accepted you. You wait here for me for a while, I'll come with the money later, and then we'll go to the government to sign a contract." ”
The old man looked at her suspiciously and his eyes widened, he really didn't expect that such a young brother would be able to take out so much money.
"Since you say so, uncle will believe you! But child, since you want to rent it, the uncle has to say a few words to you. Our lord Xu will still come back to live in this house, but I don't know when, if you come back, you have to move out, but I will refund you the rent. ”
"Although I don't know what you're renting such a big house for, you have to take care of the family here, don't stumble. Some of the furniture here is even more than this rent, but it is only because it is inconvenient to carry large items that can only be left in the house. It's not that I want to tell you this, since I'm guarding the house, I have to be responsible for it. ”
"Don't worry, I will never destroy this house, and when your master comes back, it will still be what it should be."
Wei Zi raised his eyebrows and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Why is she doing anything to destroy this house? Don't you have to lose money? It's just that the old man can't rest assured, so she has to make promises over and over again.
Feeling that the old man really had nothing to say, Wei Zicai hurried to the money village in the city and exchanged the silver tickets of one thousand taels for nine silver tickets of one hundred taels and 100 taels of broken silver. The broken silver is also full of a small burden, usually with a lot of silver, usually with a lot of silver, the small one can also match her identity, will not arouse suspicion.
After coming out of the money village, Wei Zi quickly ran to Zhangfu in the south of the city, although it didn't take her long, she might save a little more time if she saved a little time, after all, in addition to renting a house, she also had to buy some things.
But she hurriedly walked to the front of Zhang's mansion, and when she looked at the woman who was pulling and pulling with the old man in the porter, her eyes instantly turned red, and she walked up angrily.
