Find a house to live in

"Where are we going to eat?" Yuan Baodao, looking at Yuan Qing with big eyes.

Feeling that his younger brother was still paying attention to him, Yuan Qing felt a little better in his heart, and said with a smile: "How about going to that Liuxiang Pavilion?" "Liuxiang Pavilion is one of the best restaurants in this Qiuzhou city, and the things in it are extremely delicious, and the two sisters and brothers have been there when they came to Qiuzhou before.

"Okay, it's delicious." The ten-year-old boy applauded.

Seeing him smiling so happily, Yuan Qing didn't know whether it was because of her mother's nature or if she was really fond of his younger brother, she was in a good mood, and she almost forgot about the handsome guy next to her.

Mo Zisang didn't care so much, and followed his sister and brother to Liuxiang Pavilion.

There is a street market scene on the road, and the businessmen who do small business are shouting hard, although it is morning, but the street is also full of people, so it is not lively.

The three of them are walking on the street, and they are also very harmonious, Mo Zisang's handsome face is always gentle, and his temperament is extraordinary, and walking on the street provokes the girls on the road to turn back frequently.

"Zisang, you handsome face, looking back at your girl, it's only a hundred and over eighty." Yuan Qing couldn't help but quip. She called him Zisan, and shouted naturally.

Being teased by her, Mo Zisang's face turned slightly red, and at this time, a girl who saw the handsome guy's face was slightly red couldn't help but bow her head and chuckle, this silver bell-like laughter came, and Mo Zisang was a little embarrassed, "Ah Qing, don't laugh." He didn't know what to call her, Xiaoqing she didn't like it, so let's call her Aqing.

Ah Qing's two words, Yuan Qing was slightly stunned when she heard this, this kind of name, someone used to call her like this, but when he shouted these two words, Yuan Qing was slightly stunned in his heart inexplicably.

The girl left, but when she left, she looked at the handsome man beside him who was a little unmanlike, and Yuan Qing was dressed as a man. Yuan Qing met the girl's gaze, her eyes were calm and smiled at her, her calmness caused the girl to hide her face in shame and run away.

Most people buy fruit on the street, after all, it is a fruit state. Fruits are abundant and cheap, and people in Autumn State like to eat them, perhaps for this reason, most of the people in Autumn State are very watery. There is basically no one on this street who looks too sorry for the audience.

The three of them came to the Liuxiang Pavilion, and the classical and elegant decoration showed that the Liuxiang Pavilion was not good. The outside of Liuxiang Pavilion is not too prosperous, but people are willing to come here to eat, which shows its good reputation and good taste.

No matter when you come, Liuxiang Pavilion is full, and the three of them came earlier, so they have a better seat, a ** private room on the second floor.

The table was a small square table, Yuan Qing and Mo Zisang sat opposite each other, and Yuan Bao sat on the left and right of the two. The dishes hadn't come yet, there was only simple tea on the table, Yuan Qing poured a cup of tea, and drank it very unceremoniously, "Convenient." Putting the teacup down, she said slowly.

"Okay." Mo Zisang nodded, he didn't like that kind of person with complicated etiquette too much.

Yuan Qing could see this handsome face when she looked up, and then she looked up and saw this gentle face, her eyes smiled at him peacefully, so she moved her eyes to Xiaobao's face without a trace. Looking at people face to face, if it weren't for talking, Yuan Qing was a little unaccustomed. In order to cover up, he said something inconsequential to Xiaobao.

During the conversation, the guy brought breakfast, this is not suitable for eating big fish and meat in the morning, anyway, Yuan Qing, who is dressed from modern times, is not used to eating, and the breakfast is also very light and simple, but after all, it is something from Liuxiang Pavilion, and it tastes excellent.

After eating, it was time to settle the bill, Mo Zisang said, "I'll pay the bill." "He's older than them, after all.

"That's fine." Yuan Qing did not shirk. He's not bad for money anyway. Yuan Qing is also too lazy to be pretentious. Of course, paying the bills, which is generally handled by adults, will not fall on Xiaobao's head in any case, and Xiaobao will not express any opinions.

A total of ten taels of silver were eaten for breakfast, which was equivalent to ten meals for ordinary people, or even more. None of the three people frowned at this, Mo Zisang needless to say, Yuan Qing still had more than four hundred taels of silver on his body, and Yuan Bao seemed to be influenced by his sister, and he didn't care too much about money.

Out of the Liuxiang Pavilion, Yuan Qing said: "Zisang, what are you going to do next?" ”

"I'm going to walk around." Mo Zisang seems to be very casual.

"Xiaobao and I plan to stay in Autumn Governor for a long time." Yuan Qing said, they have nowhere to go, that thatched hut is too far away, and it is impossible for them to really live there forever, Yuan Qing doesn't want to, just like people who are used to living a comfortable life in the city, they really go to the deep mountains and old forests far away from the crowd to live that kind of life that has money and can't find anyone to take care of it, few people will be willing.

"And where are you going to stay?" Autumn Prefecture is so big, it is impossible to stay in an inn all the time.

"Find a place." Yuan Qinghui is simple.

So the three men went to find a place to stay. Most of the houses in ancient times were second-hand houses, and a house was either an ancestral house that had been passed down from generation to generation, or the owner built the house and rented it to someone who did not have a house. Unless you have your own land, you have the money to build a house.

Just like modern real estate, those who have money and land are uncles, and those who have no money, land and houses can only be house slaves. Yuan Qing currently belongs to the latter.

Qiuzhou City is the central city of Qiuzhou, and the central city is every inch of land, according to Yuan Qing's money, they can only buy a house far away from the bustling area, that is, at the junction of urban and rural areas.

Although Yuan Qing has more than 400 taels of silver in his hand, he can't invest all the silver in the house, right? Staying and doing business is the right thing to do.

So they came to an area far away from the bustling area, where there are alleys and alleys at a glance, and the houses here are a bit like the courtyard houses in Beijing, basically there are three families living in one courtyard, and they live on one side of each of the three houses. After all, if you don't have to be rich, you will live there.

Yuan Qing saw this situation, her face was a little loose, she didn't like to live with strangers, even if she shared a yard, it might be clean and accustomed, and getting along with people was actually quite tiring. I also asked the landlord here if there was a single one.

The landlord said: "It's just right, there is a single room, the people of that family moved out two days ago, if the son wants that, just follow me to see, but that house is a little small, you three don't seem to be enough." The landlord looked at the three male animals in embarrassment, of course he didn't know that Yuan Qing was a woman dressed as a man.

"It's okay, I don't live anywhere." Mo Zi Sandao.

"Oh, it turns out that this son doesn't live, so it's just right for the two of you to live." Landlord's Road.

"Well, there is labor to lead the way." Yuan Qing tried to be as polite as possible.

"Okay, this house is under my control, although the house here is not mine, but I collect all the room fees here, and the cost of the house is settled once a year, and the two of you are staying for a long time, right?" The landlord asked.

"Yes, my brother Xiaobao and I plan to stay here for a long time." Yuan Qingdao.

"Well, you need to pay a deposit of five taels of silver to rent our house here, and you can't return it until you check out, if you break the roof of the house or that place during the period, and it is not repaired, it will be deducted from the deposit when you check out, this is the rule of the owner." The landlord is also a part-time worker, and he collects housing fees for others.

"I know, what was the room rate for that year?" Yuan Qingdao.

"Fifty taels of silver a year." The landlord spread out his hands, stretched out five fingers, and said: "We only care, regardless of food and drink, if there is any problem with the house, you can come to me directly, the little brother of the local should know, that is." As he spoke, he pointed to where he lived.

Yuan Qing nodded. Fifty taels of silver a year is not too expensive.

After speaking, the four of them also went to the single room in the mouth of the landlord, this single room is one of the few houses where a family can have a ** yard, although this yard is not as big as the courtyard of those quadrangle, but it is better than no one to fight, clean.

The door is a little broken, there are couplets posted by the former owner on the door, but the red paper is a little yellowed, push open the door, inside is a very simple house, the house is two very small, the open space in front of the house is also very small, it may only be the size of a room, half of the open space is also planted with some vegetables should be planted by the previous owner. After all, the family lives, and the right to use this vacant land is according to the owner's preference. It is used to grow vegetables, and although the space is reduced by half, it is also cost-effective.

"This is it, little brother, you can take a look." Landlord's Road.

The area here is not wide, there are two rooms, a stove room, there is no thatched house, if you want to go to the toilet, you need to go to the designated place, it is very inconvenient.

"Childe, there is only this condition here, after all, this is a single room, and the place is too small to build a thatched house." The landlord spread his hands and expressed helplessness.

"Okay, that's it, Xiaobao, what do you think?" Yuan Qing looked at the boy and asked him.

"Brother, if you think it's okay." Xiao Baodao, she is called her brother in front of people, and she is called her sister in the back, after all, Yuan Qing is dressed in men's clothes.

"Okay then." Yuan Qing didn't pick where to live, after all, she didn't have the money to pick and didn't bother to choose, "That's it, boss, we have to go back to pack our things, how about settling the bill tomorrow?" ”

"Okay, I'll come back tomorrow, old man."

"Good!" Both sides were very cheerful. Half of this house has been negotiated, and tomorrow's money and goods are missing. If you have money and do things, you only need the land rent deed paper here, which can prove that this place is yours, and you are a person from this place, after all, there was no such thing as an ID card in ancient times, as long as you don't commit a crime and are not sent to the government, you are a good citizen.

Yuan Qing and the three of them walked out of this urban-rural junction and came to the prosperous area of Qiuzhou City.

In fact, the structure of Qiuzhou is similar to that of Beijing's third and fourth ring roads, and the best is in the center, and around the center is the rent gradually declining.

Now that it's dusk, the pedestrians on the road are still not busy, most of them are leisurely, maybe Qiuzhou is a place for people to relax
