Chapter 64: Renting a House (1)

Shen He hurriedly got out of the car to check, fortunately, the carriage was not walking fast, and the coachman reined in time, the woman was fine, and now she sat up, just staring at Shen He. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Shen He stepped forward to help her up, and asked, "Madam, are you okay?" Did it hurt somewhere? I couldn't help it just now."

The woman did not answer her, but stared at her, and kept muttering, "Have you seen my house?" Where did you take her? Where's my countenance?"

Shen He was a little puzzled, and then looked at her carefully, although she was wearing clothes and fabrics, and her makeup and jewelry were exquisite, her eyes were staring straight at her, and her eyes seemed to be dull, Shen He said secretly: It turned out to be a delirious person!

But what now? Although she was not seriously injured, she seemed to have some skin on her ankle, and she was delirious, how could she be sent home?

Looking at the carriage again, it has long been gone, and the coachman is afraid of being blackmailed, so he simply doesn't even want the car money. Shen He had to tear a cloth strap from her clothes first, bandage the abrasions for her briefly, and see that she could still walk, so he asked her, "What's your name?" Where do you live? ā€

The woman just looked at Shen He with stunned eyes, as if she couldn't hear her words, and she still kept muttering: "I want my Rong'er, give me back my Rong'er"

Talking about the business, she began to be hoarse, as if she was about to cry, Shen He was so frightened that she hurriedly stopped asking, and comforted her: "You listen to me obediently, and you will be able to bring your Rong'er back soon."

The woman seemed to understand this time and nodded, Shen He had no choice but to let her follow her first. But it was necessary to find a place to stay, and now with this woman, the inn's money would be increased again.

Thinking of this, she hired another carriage, pulled the woman into the carriage with her, and said to the coachman, "Please send us to Zaozunzi Lane."

When the coachman heard this, he pointed with his hand and said, "Miss, madam, isn't there Zaozunzi Lane in front of you?" ā€

Shen He looked at it, and sure enough, there were some courtyard houses across the street, but she just looked at the woman and didn't look carefully, she thanked the coachman, and took the woman to the courtyard across the street.

The woman seemed to be in a more stable mood, and regarded Shen He as her own relative, pulling the corners of her clothes tightly, for fear that she would leave her, Shen He sighed, comforted her, and said: "Don't be afraid, when I find a place to live, I will take you to your family and send you home."

But in my heart, I said: Why do I always meet stupid people? Could it be that the evil deeds done in the past life have not been repaid, and we must do more good deeds in this life?

I don't want to do this, I have to find a place to live first, otherwise there are more people now, and the silver they bring doesn't know how long it can last, thinking of this, Shen He quickened his pace and came to the alley.

Shen He carefully observed these quadrangles, and saw that the quadrangles here were divided into three types: large, medium and small.

The layout of the small courtyard is simple, generally there are three rooms in the north room, which are divided into one light and two dark or two light and one dark. There are two rooms in the east and west wings, and three rooms in the south room, all of which are tiled houses with bricks to the top and ridges, and the gatehouse of the clear water ridge, and the two street doors facing the closing, each with a small iron ring, which is used to knock on the door. There are also small courtyards with chessboard hearts, or Yangwa gray terriers. A family of two or three generations lives in a small courtyard house with a single courtyard, which is very suitable.

The large quadrangle is much more complicated. Generally, the main house is the front porch and the back building, and there is a cover room at the back. There is a hanging flower door in the middle of the flower wall in the south of the east and west wings, there are four wooden screens in the door, and the east and west wings have a hand-copying verandah, which communicates with the hanging flower door. Between the main room and the side room, there is a round moon door, which can be walked through. Some will also have an outer courtyard, which can lead to a cross-courtyard.

There is also a middle courtyard. Generally, there are five or seven main rooms, and some main rooms and side rooms have porches. The five rooms are three main rooms and two ear rooms, and the ear rooms have a single door. There are seven rooms, between the main room and the transept room, and there are two suites that communicate with the main room.

Shen He was watching, and saw an old woman walking out of a small courtyard, forty or fifty years old, carrying a bamboo basket in her hand, as if she was going out.

Shen He saw that her eyebrows were kind and her eyes were bright, and she was quite energetic, so she stepped forward and saluted: "Madam, please ask, is there a courtyard to rent here?" ā€

The old woman smiled and said, "Girl, you can ask the right person, I am the old woman who specializes in helping people buy and sell houses."

It turned out that this woman was a famous tooth woman in this area, known as Song Wu's sister-in-law. In addition to selling rouge, pollen and other supplies for women, she also introduces housing rental and sales in the center, and sometimes helps some large families choose to buy pet concubines, song boys, dancers, etc.

Now when she saw Shen He asking her, she asked, "I don't know what kind of courtyard the girl wants to rent?" ā€

Shen He said: "I also have a younger brother and sister, plus my mother, a total of four people, I want to rent a cheaper one, you see if there is a suitable courtyard here"

After hearing this, Song Wu's sister-in-law said: "There are two large courtyards and several small courtyards to be rented, and there are not many courtyards in the middle now, I will help you ask again, you tell me where you live now, and I will take you to see it when there is a suitable one."

Shen He told Song Wu's sister-in-law the name of the inn, and asked, "I don't know what Mrs. is called?" ā€

Fifth sister-in-law Song smiled and said: "My husband's surname is Song, the girl can call me the fifth sister-in-law, if the girl has anything, she can come here directly to find me."

Shen He thanked him, then left with the woman and returned to the inn.

Two days later, Song Wu's sister-in-law came over, and after finding Shen He, she smiled and said: "The girl is really lucky, there is a suitable courtyard to rent, and the size of the girl is really suitable, there are five wings in it, with a backyard, the key is that the price is cheap, because the owner is in a hurry to rent, only thirty taels of silver a year."

After hearing this, Shen He felt that if it was really as she said, it would not be expensive, but it would be good to go and see it in person, so he said to Song Wu's sister-in-law: "I want to go and see it now, is it convenient?" ā€

Song Wu's sister-in-law smiled: "When I see that the girl is a cheerful person, the old body will take you over"

Shen He thanked him, asked Xiao Cui and Zhuzhu to stay in the inn to take care of the woman, and went out with Song Wu's sister-in-law.

On the way, Shen He asked Song's fifth sister-in-law: "Fifth sister-in-law, I don't know if you have heard of any family with lost population?" The woman and I had only met on the road, and we didn't know each other, and when I saw that she was delirious, I took her back to the inn. If only we could find her family and send her back."

Song Wu's sister-in-law said: "This is not easy to find, the capital is so big, if you look for one or two people, it will be like looking for a needle in a haystack." ā€

After thinking about it, he said: "However, the old body has also dealt with some big families in the past, and she doesn't look like an ordinary family, I'll help you inquire, but it may take some time."

Shen He said: "It's okay, it's just that I have to trouble the fifth sister-in-law." ā€

Fifth sister-in-law Song said: "Don't be polite, girl, I see that the girl is not a local, right?" ā€

Shen He said: "I came to the capital to look for relatives, but my relatives didn't know where they had moved, so I had to find a place to live for the time being, and then slowly think about it in the long run."

Song Wu's sister-in-law said: "It's okay, since you have come to the capital, you will settle down first, and it will not be too late to look for it slowly in the future."

As the two of them spoke, they had already come to the courtyard, only to see that it was a medium-sized courtyard.

Walking into the courtyard, the first thing that caught her eye was a tall plane tree, and Shen He's eyes lit up instantly: this yard was simply specially prepared for her, and when she walked in Yulin Lane in the past, the most reluctant thing was the sycamore tree in her yard. (To be continued.) )
