Chapter 113: The House
Lin Yu didn't sincerely fight against Taicai, but he just needed to lay out the possible results of these two paths in the future. He is a child, and he may find learning kung fu very interesting now, but practicing martial arts day and night is very boring, and if he can't persevere, he will waste a lot of precious time.
Taicai hesitated.
The people around also hesitated.
They thought that it was a very good thing for Taicai to climb a high branch like Jing Hao. But if it is like what Lin Yu said, there is still a visible future for reading, and the future of practicing martial arts is indeed much slimmer. And if you think about it, what's so good about practicing martial arts? There is no great ability at home, if you can be a dart master or a nurse, it is the best, if not, you have a body of martial arts, and in the end you don't have to go home to hunt and farm? Even Daquan regretted it a little, for fear that Taicai would say that he wanted to practice martial arts.
Taicai's eyebrows were tangled together, obviously he was really thinking seriously about Lin Yu's words.
Suddenly, Taicai jumped off the ground, and he didn't wear shoes, so he knelt on the ground and said to Jing Hao: "The master is above, the apprentice kowtowed to you!" ”
Jing Hao immediately smiled like a peach blossom in the spring, making Taicai up.
"Let's do this today, when the New Year's Festival passes, I will come to pick you up and go to Qingtian Yaju, and then I will pay homage to the teacher."
"Yes!" Taicai replied respectfully.
Jing Hao smiled, his acceptance of Taicai as an apprentice today was actually just a whim, but if he knew that Taicai would be beneficial to him in this identity in the future, he would definitely applaud himself today.
Even though everyone was still a little hesitant about learning martial arts from Taicai just now, they couldn't help but be jealous when they saw that they had really climbed up to Jinghao. Especially the Erkui family, originally to please Lin Yu and earn some benefits for their family. But I didn't expect to offend Jing Hao, not to mention, and let Taicai take the opportunity to grab a big bargain.
At this time, Taicai worshipped Jing Hao as his teacher, and Daquan was not good at throwing his face at Jing Hao again, and everyone's attitude towards Jing Hao became respectful again.
Jing Hao has an apprentice today, and his mood is no longer gloomy just now, and he is hesitating whether to accompany Lin Yu here or when he goes home. It seems like someone is coming outside again.
"Oops. Cousin, happy New Year, why are you here today? "Daquan welcomes out. When I saw that Qi Wanli was coming, I naturally had to say hello.
"Ouch, there are so many people today! Happy New Year, Happy New Year! Qi Wanli said, "You asked me to inquire about it a few years ago. Now there are eyebrows too! ”
Daquan heard that it was about the house, and quickly invited Qi Wanli in. It just so happens that Lin Yu is at home, and it would be great if this matter could be solved today.
Lin Yu heard that the house had fallen, so he was naturally very happy. I hurriedly asked what kind of conditions it was.
"There are two that I look good at, both of them are brick houses. One is on Erdao Street, not far from the market entrance. There is a large compound, two large houses due north and due east. There were eight of them, and there was a large mill due west with a barn next to it. The family was originally quite wealthy, but when they heard that their eldest son had made a good deal in the south, they wanted to move the whole family there. I was going to move it a year ago, but I said I wanted to leave after the sacrifice at home. The asking price is not too expensive, two hundred and thirty taels of silver, not two prices. The other was on Sandao Street, which was a little far from the bazaar and the main road, and there were six houses, and there were cattle pens and barns, and the asking price was one hundred and sixty taels of silver, which was a bit more expensive according to the previous one. ”
Lin Yu groaned a little, in fact, she didn't want to buy a big house in the city, although the second one was more suitable in size, but it was also really expensive.
"The one on Sandao Street isn't in a hurry to sell, is it?" Lin Yu asked.
"Yes, they are in our city, and they don't have such a yard." Qi Wanli said.
"Which one of our houses in the city? So rich? Lin Yu was a little curious, Li Yun City is so big, she has learned a lot about Li Yun City more or less because of the stall recently.
"Well, it's the Ding family." Qi Wanli said.
"No matter what, no matter how good the things of the Ding family are, I don't want to have anything to do with them. In this way, Brother Qi, I still have to trouble you, if there is no problem with the first one, or it can be cheaper, then it will be better. Aren't they in a hurry to leave, see if you can help me keep the price down, if you can buy it for two hundred taels of silver, I will give Brother Qi a commission of five taels of silver, what do you think? If it is lower, the money saved will be given to you! ”
Qi Wanli was just kind enough to help with things, but he didn't expect Lin Yu to be able to promise him such a big benefit, so he naturally nodded busily, saying that he would definitely do his best to help without this commission.
It just so happened that everyone was here, and Qi Wanli, along with Qi Qianli and others next door, were all invited to eat together. Lin Yu's family is small and has few pots, so he has to go to Qi Qianli's house to cook it, and go to their house to eat it after it is done.
Jing Hao was still hesitant to leave, but when he heard that he was going to have dinner with Qi Qianli, how could he let Lin Yu be with him, so he stayed.
Li Jinhua and Li Yueling are both skillful, and before the time comes, the meals on the two tables are ready. One table for men, one table for women and children.
But Jing Hao thought about it a lot after all, he was young, Qi Qianli didn't take him seriously at all, and he couldn't help but say a lot of words about Lin Yu during the banquet, and Daquan also smiled and helped Lin Yu respond, which made him depressed for a while.
It's rare for the big guys to get together, and they always keep pushing the cup and changing the lamp, which makes Jing Hao annoyed, after all, he really has nothing to talk about with this group of people, and after eating for a while, he doesn't care about others, he put down the dishes and chopsticks and went back to Lin Yu's house.
When Lin Yu saw that he was gone, it was not good to continue to stay here, so he asked everyone to continue eating and drinking, and he followed him.
When she entered the door, Jing Hao pulled out the coals at the bottom of the pot and began to prepare to boil medicine for her.
Lin Yu was moved in his heart and said, "Have you eaten just now?" If you come back, you will help me boil medicine. ”
Jing Hao was very happy when he heard that Lin Yu cared about him. got up and took Lin Yu's hand and entered the house.
"I'll pick you up tomorrow." Jing Hao asked Lin Yu to sit on the edge of the kang, held Lin Yu's shoulders with both hands, and whispered.
Jing Hao's voice was a little hoarse, and he didn't know if it was because he drank wine or charcoal just now, his face was slightly red, and Lin Yu was a little embarrassed, so he lowered his head and said, "My hand is broken now, should I take a few days off?" After all, I won't be able to do much work when I go back. ”
"Aren't there still Hanyu them? You teach them something, otherwise you live here alone, and I will never feel at ease. I didn't come here last night, but I worried about you all night. ”
Thinking that Jing Hao had indeed come over early in the morning for the past two days, Lin Yu was also reluctant to go, "But not only can I not help do anything when I go back, but I also want others to accommodate me." I've always been uncomfortable with other people's troubles. ”
"It's okay, it's still me. When the kitchen door closes, who knows if it's you or me who cooks? (To be continued)
