No, when he set off early in the morning of the second day, Silly Zhu also shouted that he wanted to go with him, Dong Rong gritted his teeth and glared at him, how to scare him, but Cao Pozi pondered that one more person could earn an extra copper coin, and waved his hand to send them out.

Dong Rong was extremely angry, and when he walked to the quiet place behind him, he pinched the stupid Zhu'er's arm twice, and finally saw his smiling appearance that was not annoyed or angry, and felt that he was too vicious, so he had to comfort himself, and he didn't make trouble left and right, and he had a lot of strength, so he should bring a bodyguard.

When she saw Liu's sister-in-law, Dong Rong looked embarrassed and said the excuse that she had already figured out. Sister-in-law Liu heard that she was going to take care of her father who was infected with the wind and cold from Mrs. Cao, and she would directly pay copper money to buy the requiem grass she picked at night. In this way, you can get the money directly without the effort of going into the city to sell, which is also a good thing.

Sister-in-law Liu hesitated for a moment and nodded, Dong Rong thanked her very happily when she saw that her goal was achieved, and finally the two of them said it again before they acted separately.

Perhaps because the weather is fine, the solar terms are close to Qingming, and the streets in the city are three points more lively than before. Dong Rong took the pillar all the way non-stop, bought a large bag of saltpeter powder and pottery bowls, wooden spoons and barrels in the grocery store, and went to the copper shop to order two copper boxes.

Silly Zhu's arms were full of miscellaneous items, and he carried a bag on his shoulders, and he was sweating profusely from the heat. Dong Rong is also sweaty and thirsty. She simply found a teahouse to rest and asked for a pot of tea and two plates of snacks.

Silly Zhu was chewing and drinking without distraction, but Dong Rong was still worried about not renting the yard. Fortunately, the guys in the teahouse are all know-it-alls, Dong Rong paid a few pennies, and soon a Chinese person who specializes in renting a house was recruited. Dong Rong invited the Chinese to sit down and drink tea, and then carefully explained her needs.

The man was very embarrassed, and said cautiously, "This little sister-in-law, it is easy to find a spacious and quiet yard in this city, but it is too difficult to be close to a water source. If it is placed outside the city, it may be easier. ”

Dong Rong frowned, if the courtyard is outside the city, then every time you enter the city, you have to pay two yuan to pass the tax, and it is a big expense to enter and exit more times. But the words of the Chinese people also make sense, most of the houses with water sources in the city are large families, and there are very few that are rented out, even if there are, she can't afford to rent them with the meager capital in her hands.

"That's it, little brother, try your best to help me find it, if there is a suitable yard outside the city that is cheap to rent silver, you can also take a look."

The man was very happy when he got the right words, and he didn't even take a sip of tea and went out to inquire. Xu was lucky, and not far from the teahouse, he met an old man who took the initiative to talk to him, shouting that he wanted to rent a yard. The Chinese asked a few words, but he didn't expect that the courtyard of the old man's house was the same as Dong Rong's request.

The Chinese were overjoyed, and directly turned back to find Dong Rong to say congratulations, and finally explained the situation, and the four of them went to see the boundary outside the city together.

The yard that the old man wants to rent out is two miles outside the west city gate, and there is a small garden outside the front and back, which is very meaningful of the sparrows although they are small. According to the old man, the owner of this small courtyard is a businessman who has traveled far away, and I don't know whether he made a fortune or had an accident, in short, he has not returned for many years. The old man was ordered to stay in the house, and he had not received the monthly silver of the lord's house for several years, and he did not dare to rent it without authorization, but these months coincided with the illness of the only son in the family, and he urgently needed to use the silver, so he moved his mind and wanted to get some silver to tide over the difficulties.

Dong Rong walked around the courtyard and was extremely satisfied with the lotus pond in the backyard and the abandoned pond outside the courtyard wall. In the future, if you want to make ice in a pool, you only need to dig a shallow ditch and discharge the waste water into the pond outside. Moreover, this courtyard was originally lived by merchants, and even if outsiders saw the ice being transported out of this courtyard, they were afraid that they would only think that the owner of the courtyard had returned to do the business of selling the ice in the cellar, and they could not guess that the ice was made on the same day.

The old man offered two taels of silver a month, but Dong Rong felt that it was not expensive, so he did not make a counteroffer, and directly paid two months' rent. The Chinese hurriedly wrote the deed paper, and the three parties pressed their handprints to keep them as evidence in the event of future disputes. The old man was worried about his son, and after receiving the money, he carried his luggage and left, leaving Dong Rong to clean up the yard inside and out, settle the sundries he bought earlier, and then hurried to the village with the stupid pillar.

At this time, the sun has set on the western mountain, and the earth is reflected in the orange red by the sunset left on the horizon, adding three points of enchantment and seven points of gorgeousness. Sister-in-law Liu was standing under the big tree at the head of the village and looking anxiously, with a neatly tied bundle of requiem grass at her feet, green and verdant, exuding a faint fragrance. She saw Dong Rong and Silly Zhu coming over from a distance, let out a long sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "You guys are back, I thought... Haha, it's okay, it's good to come back, it's good to come back. ”

Dong Rong guessed that she must be afraid that she would run away and get into trouble, but she was not stupid enough to point it out, she only smiled and thanked her, and then took out twenty coins and stuffed it over.

Sister-in-law Liu pinched the copper coin in her hand and smiled so much that her eyes narrowed to one place, and her mouth was polite, "You don't need so much, fifteen wen is enough." ”

Dong Rong also counted on her to help cover up, so naturally she would not be stingy with these few dollars, so she threw the requiem grass to the stupid pillar and carried it, and stepped forward to affectionately hold Liu's sister-in-law and go home together.

Sister-in-law Liu is also very obedient, and in front of Mrs. Cao, she praised Dong Rong for how diligent she is, and she will definitely be prosperous in the future, and so on. Although Mrs. Cao pouted and refused to believe it, she rarely showed a smile when she looked at the bundle of requiem grass on the shoulder of the stupid pillar.
