Chapter 52 It is not easy to live in peace

Cheng Luming is married, his wife is a primary school teacher, has a son, school classes today, when he brought Meng Songhai and other three people to his house, his wife and children were not at home.

When he was about to make tea to entertain the guests, Cheng Luming asked, "What kind of tea do you drink?" ”

"Let's drink Pu'er tea."

When Cheng Luming was making tea, Zheng Quangui asked, "What kind of tea do you people in the capital usually drink?" ”

Meng Guoqiang replied: "Jasmine tea." ”

Zheng Quangui asked curiously: "Jasmine can also make tea?" ”

Meng Songhai smiled: "You are rare and strange. ”

Zheng Quangui smiled and said: "I thought that you people in Beijing like to drink famous teas such as West Lake Longjing." ”

"There are also people who like to drink green tea, and in comparison, a little less." Meng Songhai smiled, turned to look at Meng Guoqiang and asked, "Second brother, do you know why people in the capital like jasmine tea?" ”

"Isn't it just a habit that has been passed down from generation to generation?!" Meng Guoqiang muttered.

"So to speak." Meng Songhai smiled, "The accurate answer is that the water quality in the capital is not good, alkaline, and other kinds of tea can't be brewed, while the fragrance of jasmine tea can suppress the alkaline taste, and after a long time, everyone is used to drinking jasmine tea." There is also the price of jasmine tea is relatively cheap and suitable for mass consumption, although in the Ming and Qing dynasties, Yan Kyoto was the capital, the Republic of China was the capital for a period of time, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was still the capital, but Chang'an is not easy to live. ”

"It seems to be the reason." Meng Guoqiang smiled and nodded, "You have read so many books, you haven't read in vain, you know the past and the present!" ”

"It's not easy to live in Chang'an, what do you mean?" Zheng Quangui was puzzled.

At this time, Cheng Luming made tea.

Meng Songhai took a sip of tea and explained: "This sentence comes from an allusion, Tang Dynasty poet Bai Juyi, you know, right? ”

"I know, I graduated from high school, Bai Juyi, a great poet of the Tang Dynasty, well-known poems such as "The Charcoal Seller" and "Song of Long Hatred" were written by him...... Leaving the grass on the plain, one year old and one withered. Wildfires burn inexhaustibly, and spring breezes blow and regenerate. This poem was also written by Bai Juyi, what is the title of the poem? Hehe, I forgot. ”

"Farewell to the Ancient Grass." Meng Songhai replied.

Zheng Quangui saw that Meng Songhai had started to drink tea, and said with a smile: "Songhai, don't sell Guanzi, let's talk about allusions." ”

"The verse you just said appears in this allusion. During the first year of Zhenyuan, the young Bai Juyi went to the capital to participate in the imperial examination, and went to Chang'an, the capital, from his hometown to the capital, and brought his poems to visit the celebrities at that time. When he saw the words 'Bai Juyi' on the poem, he joked that the price of rice is expensive, and it is easy to live. It means that Chang'an rice is expensive, and it is not easy to live. Looking at the manuscript of the poem in consideration of the situation, the first one is the poem "Farewell to the Ancient Grass", leaving the grass on the plain, one year old and one withering. Wildfires burn inexhaustibly, and spring breezes blow and regenerate. Yuanfang invaded the ancient road, and the clear green connected the deserted city. He sent Wang Sun to go, full of farewell. After reading this poem, he immediately applauded and said; 'If you have a word, it is easy to live. It means that good poetry, good writing, and literary talent, what is the difficulty of living. Later, he often talked about Bai Juyi's poetry to others, praised it, and Bai Juyi's poetry name spread. It is not easy to live in Chang'an, this sentence, later generations are analogous to living in the national capital, and life is not easy to maintain. ”

Zheng Quangui, Meng Guoqiang and Cheng Luming all looked at Meng Songhai in surprise.

Meng Songhai took a sip of tea, and when he saw that the three of them were still looking at him in surprise, he smiled and asked, "What are you doing?" ”

"Songhai, I admire you so much." Zheng Quangui smiled, "I really didn't expect that you were so talented, when you were in high school, were there many girls who were infatuated with you?" ”

"Definitely, when Songhai was in high school, his academic performance was very good, judging from his usual test scores, he fully had the strength to be admitted to a key university, but he was unlucky and played abnormally in the examination room, so he was not admitted to university."

"Second brother, don't mention the past." Meng Songhai smiled faintly, "If I am really admitted to university, then I will not have a chance to meet Brother Zheng and Brother Cheng." ”

"We are destined to meet thousands of miles away." Cheng Luming smiled, "I think this sentence can also be used between friends." ”

After chatting for more than an hour, Zheng Quangui stood up and said, "Cousin, I'm going back, you can borrow a motorcycle for me." ”

"Don't sit back any longer?"

"Nope."

Meng Songhai and Meng Guoqiang also stood up, Meng Songhai said: "Brother Cheng, we are also going together, after you borrow the motorcycle, we will go to the gambling stone shop to see, I feel that my luck has improved, now go to buy gambling stones, I will definitely make money." ”

"Then I'll wish you a lot of money." Cheng Luming said with a smile.

After sending Zheng Quangui away, Meng Songhai looked at Cheng Luming and asked, "Brother Cheng, can you help me rent a house with a larger area and a single courtyard in the county?" ”

Cheng Luming was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and Meng Songhai added: "It's okay to be more expensive......

"It's hard to find a house in the county that meets your requirements. However, you don't mind paying a little more rent, I can help you find a nice place, even if it's next to the Public Security Bureau. The family took your rent and could live in another place. ”

"That's great. Brother Cheng, let's go now. ”

Cheng Luming took the two Montessori brothers to Zhang Liben's house, the family knew Cheng Luming, met and exchanged a few words, and Cheng Luming directly said the purpose of the trip.

Zhang Liben listened to Cheng Luming's words, a little inexplicable, he never thought of renting a house.

"Lu Ming, you also know the situation in my family, don't talk about the extra house, there is no extra room, rent out the house, and my family will move to the street?"

"Uncle Zhang, don't worry, listen to my explanation, these two friends of mine are big bosses, who are in the jade business, and if they want to stay in Ruili for a while, it is not a matter to live in a hotel for a long time, they rent your house to live, and they will not treat you badly in terms of rent."

Zhang Liben was stunned for a moment when he heard this, looked at Meng Songhai and Meng Guoqiang a few times, and asked, "How much rent are you going to pay?" ”

Meng Songhai felt that this house was very good, less than 100 meters away from the Public Security Bureau, and the courtyard was very high, and it was difficult for outsiders to break in by closing the gate.

Meng Songhai said: "One thousand a month, two months to pay, that is, to pay you two thousand yuan at a time, if two months later, I still want to rent, I will pay you the same rent." ”

Zhang Liben and his wife listened to Meng Songhai's words, and an excited smile appeared on their faces, their family can't earn more than 2,000 yuan a year, even if they rent out the house, they need to spend money to rent a place to live, but they can still make a lot of money.

Hearing Meng Songhai's offer, Cheng Luming was stunned for a moment, he felt that the price was too high, but after thinking about it, he felt that spending a thousand yuan a month in rent was really nothing to Meng Songhai.

"Uncle Zhang, my friend is interesting enough, okay, you can give me a refreshing word." Cheng Luming smiled.

After Zhang Liben came back to his senses, he nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, one thousand a month, no regrets!" ”

"I won't regret it, I signed the contract, and I will give you the money immediately."

Cheng Luming said: "Uncle Zhang, when will your family be able to move out?" ”

"This ......," Zhang Liben groaned, "I have a family of five, and I have to move out to live, and I have a lot of things to move, so let's not talk about moving things, and it will take some time to find a place to live." ”

Cheng Luming said: "Then you wait a while, go to find a place to live, and when you find it, I will ask my friend to come and sign a contract with you, and you will try to move out within two days, after all, if you move out one day earlier, you can earn an extra day of rent." ”

Zhang Liben said seriously: "Lu Ming, the matter of renting a house, you can talk about it, don't wait for us to find a place, you say you won't rent." ”

"No, absolutely not, don't worry." Cheng Luming smiled and promised, "If you rent a house, rent it for two months first, and when the lease is about to expire, my friend plans to continue to live, and then you renew the contract with the landlord who rented the house for you." ”

"Alright, I'll go find a house now."

"Then we'll come back tomorrow morning."

After saying goodbye, Meng Songhai, Meng Guoqiang and Cheng Luming left together.
