"Of course." Wang Yaji took the ledger that recorded various housing information and a bunch of keys, and took Li Zhengyuan and Li Junran from the back door to the nearest house. Because it happened to be the day of the market, Wang Yaji did not drive his own mule cart, but fortunately, the preliminarily selected houses were not far from Yaxing.

On the way to the nearest house, Wang Yaji introduced the general situation of the house in a few words. The small courtyard of the first entry, located on Guanjing Street, is relatively old. Rao is Li Junran has been mentally prepared, but when she walked into the mansion that was just relatively old according to Wang Yaji, she immediately had a new understanding of the Yaji who ate by mouth.

This is too limitless, there is wood? This is relatively old. The whole haunted mansion is a haunted mansion, and there is no need to arrange additional scenes for ghost movies. Just the withered grass in the yard that is more than half a person tall, and the crows that sound in my ears from time to time, Wang Yaji, are you sure you are not in the wrong place?

Li Zhengyuan's face was suddenly a little unpleasant, and even Wang Yaji's face was a little more sneering.

"That...... If you repair it, you will be able to live in it. Brother Yuan, if there is no skilled craftsman around, the elder brother just has it in his hands. Guaranteed ......"

"Free?" Li Junran directly planned Wang Yaji's words.

"Free, free?" Wang Yaji's face was painful, he hesitated for a moment, but still said stubbornly, "Actually, this house is really good, but after no one cleaned it up, the house fell into ruin relatively quickly." Far brother, brother fools no one, you are not. ”

Really?

Li Junran saw that Wang Yaji still insisted that this house was good, and he was a little curious. Quietly pulled Li Zhengyuan's sleeve.

"Since Brother Yuan doesn't like it, then let's go to the next one."

"I'm not busy, I'm going around." Li Zhengyuan didn't want to continue to stay in this desolate mansion, who let the little girl next to him pull her sleeves vigorously. Then ...... Let's take a second look.

Li Junran followed behind Li Zhengyuan, walked around the really desolate mansion in front of him, and more or less retracted his previous impression of Wang Yaji. The whole house is said to be only one entrance, but behind the five main houses side by side there are three small two-story attics, plus three wings on the left and right, as well as a gatehouse and a utility room, a total of nineteen rooms, large and small. Although it has not been inhabited for a long time. It makes the whole house look more old and dilapidated. Not only did the house have a thick layer of dust, but there were also a lot of cobwebs, and even the window frames and beams had lost paint. But the foundation is still there. The fact that none of the beams and window frames have been eaten by termites is enough to prove that the house was built in the first place. The host family still put some thought into it.

In fact, what surprised Li Junran the most was the backyard. The entire backyard occupies a lot of ground, not to mention. Pavilions were also built. In addition, there is a small pond about half the size of a land.

Li Junran couldn't help but quietly retrieved the map of this piece (of course, it was not free), and was very surprised to find that the location of this house on Guanjing Street was really not bad. The small pond in the backyard is in the shape of a trumpet, connected to a deep channel less than one meter wide and more than two meters deep. The water quality in the whole small pond is not bad, and it is even a little clear, and you can faintly see a lot of chubby fish swimming leisurely at the bottom of the pond.

The water of Baojing Lake comes from the mother river on this side of Yuezhen, and it has not dried up for hundreds of years. Every year on the fifth day of the fifth month of May, although the ordinary people here in Yuezhen are not to commemorate the doctor Qu who voted on the Miluo River, they will also take a boat on the lake and race a dragon boat or something. The location, naturally, is on this Treasure Mirror Lake. Li Junran noticed that if you take a small boat directly and go out through the deep ditch, you will be Baojing Lake. Because it is in the corner, and there are towering trees and small bushes nearby, it is difficult to find another world behind the trees if you don't look closely. As long as you close the camouflage gate that is more than half a meter thick, it is a small closed space, and naturally there are no potential safety hazards.

The more Li Junran looked, the more he felt that the house in front of him was good. If you don't want to go to the front door, you can still take the waterway. It's just such a good house, as long as you are not blind, you can see the intentions of the master's family when building this house, and now no one lives in it, this ...... It's weird, isn't it? Li Junran made a quick gesture behind Li Zhengyuan's back, and Li Zhengyuan frowned obviously, obviously aware of the strangeness of this mansion.

"Brother Wang, how can no one live in such a good house?"

"Hey." Wang Yaji sighed, "Brother didn't want to bring you over to look at the courtyard." It's just that this yard hasn't been ...... lately."

"Huh?"

"If someone asks, my brother will never tell him the truth. But brother, you are here, and my brother will not hide it from you, brother, in fact, this yard ...... Haunted. ”

"Haunted?!"

"Yes, the owner of this house is a distant relative of my brother, and when I first picked this boundary, I also took a fancy to the connection to Baojing Lake, which is convenient from the city gate or something. Who would have thought that not long after the construction of this mansion, ghosts began to start. In the middle of the night, you can always hear the cry of children. I don't know how many mages and monks I have invited, but it doesn't work. My brother, my distant relative, in a fit of rage, found another house and moved out. ”

Crying? Li Junran blinked, faintly thinking of something.

Wang Yaji saw that Li Zhengyuan's face was getting worse and worse, so he pulled out a smile and said, "Brother, I don't like us to go and see other houses, next door, the two-entry one next door, I just said that I plan to sell it cheaper." It's not good to say it's next to this yard. ”

The so-called bad is not because I heard some children's crying in the middle of the night.

How did Wang Yaji know that Li Zhengyuan's bad face was completely because Li Junran urged him to ask the price, and made it clear that he wanted to buy this mansion that was said to be haunted.

"No, there's no hurry. Brother Wang, this house ...... Your distant relative...... How much are you going to sell? ”

"Brother, you, you don't really want this house, do you?" Wang Yaji looked at Li Zhengyuan in surprise, "This house is not expensive." Just ......"

Wang Yaji saw that Li Zhengyuan didn't seem to be joking, so he said the price. After listening to Wang Yaji's offer, Rao couldn't help but sigh at Li Junran, who didn't have much idea of the specific price of this piece of house in Yuezhen, so cheap. This price is indeed quite cheap, although the same price can build a two-entry brick courtyard in Lijiatun, but one is only a small village that is not rich, and the other is in the town. Just like the countryside, there is still a difference between the countryside and the city.

Wang Yaji saw that Li Zhengyuan pursed his lips and didn't say a word, so he added an additional sentence: "Actually, this price can still be negotiated again." ”

"Brother Wang. Didn't you say that the house next door was also going to be sold? ”

"Ahh Oh, yes. On the day of the big market today, there should be someone in the house. Wang Yaji only thought about Li Zhengyuan when he changed his mind, and spontaneously took Li Zhengyuan and Li Junran to the next door.

It's next door though. but because the gate was open at the other end. Wang Yaji took Li Zhengyuan and Li Junran around the white and gray wall for a while. I came to this house on Wangyun Street. Although it is a two-entry house, there are also eight floors of new, and the owner's house is carefully maintained on weekdays. But the layout of the whole house is not good. Mainly because of the haunted house next door, the entire house has been cut off in half from the middle, if you look down from a high altitude, the whole L-shaped, and it is the kind of big head and small flat.

After looking at the mansion in front of him, Li Junran didn't have too many surprises about the somewhat well-built courtyard in front of him. Then I asked about the price, and found that this two-entry mansion was actually five hundred taels more expensive than the one-entry mansion that was actually close to the two-entry mansion.

Nima, are you crazy about silver?

Not to mention five hundred taels, Li Junran can also take out five thousand taels. But being slaughtered like a wronged leader, I am afraid that no one will be happy. Fortunately, there is a bargain when there is a bid. After some haggling, it was only fifty-five taels more expensive than the haunted mansion. This price is enough to make the owner's family cry.

The haunted house can't afford to hurt, even if his house is just next door to the haunted house.

Wang Yaji originally wanted to take Li Zhengyuan to see a few better mansions next to him, but who would have wanted to be directly rejected by Li Zhengyuan. Wang Yaji didn't know that Li Junran, who was very satisfied with the mansion that was said to be haunted, quietly took out some silver and opened a small hanging, and previewed the several mansions he was ready to sell in advance.

If you want to talk about those mansions, the best three entrances, because they are Bai Ding, that is, ordinary people who have no foundation, such a big mansion is obviously not suitable. The few remaining mansions with one or even two entrances are not to say that there are no better ones than the haunted ones. But Li Junran didn't think about it and refused directly. The reason is mainly because these houses are either on Deshun Street, or on the street where Deshun Street intersects. Naturally, there is no big problem on Deshun Street, the problem is that Cheng Mansion is also on Deshun Street.

Like the two mansions introduced to Li Zhengyuan by the master who had made a fake household registration for Li Junran before, they were also on Deshun Street, and they were next door to Cheng's mansion. The house is very large, said to be two, the actual area is close to three, and a very beautiful back garden has been repaired, and the whole house is quite beautifully repaired. It's next to Cheng's house, and there is only an alley in between, and even more so, there is only a wall in between. Standing on the rockery in the back garden, you can even see the situation of Cheng Mansion on the other side through the white high wall.

Isn't that the rhythm of death? No matter how cheap it is, Li Junran would not dare to buy (live) in such a big mansion.

As for Wang Yaji's side, there are several houses near Deshun Street, although the nearest one is not next door to Chengfu, but it is also diagonally opposite Chengfu, and the main entrance is only sixty or seventy meters away from Chengfu. It's still the old dangerous one. Although there are two places on the street adjacent to Deshun Street, because they are in the direction of Bailu Academy, the two young ladies of Cheng Mansion have to take a carriage to study at least half of the year. Every day when I go back and forth to and from school, I have to pass by that street, if I haven't seen it one day......

It's better to stay away from Deshun Street.

In fact, there is another reason why Li Junran really chose to stay away from this area. The area where Cheng Mansion is located is the most prosperous in the entire Yue Town, and it is also the gathering place with the most eunuchs and magnates. Just like the villa area where the rich people lived in the modern life of Li Junran in his previous life, just taking out one at random is not something that ordinary people like Li Junran can provoke. Although the security is relatively the highest. But from another angle, it is also the place where it is easiest to provoke right and wrong and harm the fish in the pond.

As for the two that Li Junran is picking now, there is no big problem with entering the house. The house is behind a row of storefronts facing the street, absolutely quiet. Because of the haunted house next door, there are fewer people walking around in front of the door on weekdays. All you have to do is buy the haunted mansion next door, open the door between the two mansions, and close the gate, and there is a small hidden base with several exits.

Seeing that Li Zhengyuan was so persistent, Wang Yaji did not try to persuade Li Zhengyuan again, but wrote a house sale book very neatly. Once you are sure that it is correct. Two more copies were transcribed. Li Zhengyuan signed and signed on behalf of him, and paid off the house payment in a lump sum. Wang Yaji helped to quickly hand over the deed of the changed name to Li Zhengyuan from the yamen. It's almost half a cup of tea between the front and back feet, and the legendary haunted mansion next door is also resold through another tooth shop.

In the afternoon of the same day. When the three of Li Cui returned to the Li Kee grocery store with large bags and small bags. When meeting with Li Junran. Li Junran has successfully completed the transformation from a penniless little girl who has been sold as a slave for ten years to owning two houses in Yuezhen and has a slight worth of money. In just half a year. The silver is there, the house is also there, and the most important thing is that it is no longer a slave who sells herself as a slave and has no freedom, which makes Li Junran feel very happy, and even walks with a little bit of nervousness.

If you want to say that this person is sassy, it is easy to get into trouble. No, Li Junran was happily carrying a small bamboo basket on his back, holding Li Xu's hand, and walking in the direction of the south city gate, not noticing that a carriage was parked not far away. In the carriage, the little girl wearing a light green floral jacket and a double-ring bun couldn't help but shout:

"Master, isn't that the girl from Qiliu?"

Cheng Yuyao, who had already noticed Li Junran, raised her eyes and glanced at Mingle. For Mingle, a newly promoted girl, because she is a girl who has been trained personally, Cheng Yuyao is quite satisfied. Only Mingle's voice was really louder, which made Cheng Yuyao a little louder.

Cheng Yuyao didn't expect to meet Li Junran on the street today, and after leaving Cheng Mansion with the original sluggish face in her impression, she was immediately bright and moving, and Cheng Yuyao felt very uncomfortable. In addition to looking at it not very pleasing to the eye, it is more of a doubt.

I really shouldn't.

It's no wonder that Cheng Yuyao couldn't figure it out. In Cheng Yuyao's opinion, it was not easy for her to steal Li Qiliu's deed of sale before. Now that the deed of sale is still in her hand, it stands to reason that it is impossible for the little girl to get the civilian household registration that means restoring her freedom from the county office. Even if there is Chengfu's slave release book, it will not work.

"Shiqin, you can go to the yamen in a while......" The more she thought about it, the more Cheng Yuyao felt that something was wrong, and motioned to the first-class maid Shiqin next to her to come closer.

After listening to Cheng Yuyao's explanation, Shiqin suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

"Master, today is the first day of junior high school. The slave maid once heard that the yamen did not apply for household registration at the end of the year and this month......"

"You don't think about ideas?" Cheng Yuyao glanced at Shiqin very unhappily.

"Yes."

Cheng Yuyao's waiter Qin wanted to use the silver to smash the gate of the master who was responsible for managing the household registration in the county office, but unfortunately in the end he failed because he couldn't find anyone. This matter reached the ears of Cheng Zhang and Miss Cheng Fu in the evening of the same day.

When Cheng Zhang knew about this, he was drinking medicine. On the surface, Cheng Zhang's is now more than four months pregnant, and three bowls of fetal pills are indispensable every morning, noon and evening. In fact, the so-called Thirteen Taibao has long been stolen and replaced with another medicine. At the beginning, Dr. Xu bluntly said that Cheng Zhang was more than two months pregnant, but in fact, he was quite helpless. Cheng Zhang was infected with a chronic poison, and the poisoning was deep. Although it will not immediately take Cheng Zhang's life, it will also make Cheng Zhang's body and bones decay little by little. In Cheng Yuyan's previous life, Cheng Zhang's family still nested in the Buddhist hall for most of the year, and he was not seen by Dr. Xu.

Although Dr. Xu said that he knew how to completely solve the poison in Cheng Zhang's body by chance, after all, it would take a long time to slowly force the poison out. Now that the person who poisoned has not been caught, Dr. Xu also doesn't want to startle the snake, for the sake of the three newly recruited little apprentices, he sacrificed his reputation and made nonsense that Cheng Zhang's family has been pregnant for more than two months.

Now the person who poisoned him has still not been found. Cheng Zhang's drank fetal pills every day, drank three bowls of life-threatening antidote a day, drank until his tongue was numb, and he didn't let eat candied fruit to suppress the taste, this mood would be good to call hell. Of course, Cheng Zhang's is in a bad mood, and there is another reason, that is, Li Junran, a little girl who knows that she is pregnant, has been away from Cheng Mansion for more than a month now. Cheng Zhang obviously didn't believe that Li Junran could keep her secret, and in her opinion, only the dead could keep it. Of course, Cheng Zhang didn't know that in the modern era when Li Junran did not travel to the Apocalypse Dynasty, there was a profession called forensic medicine, which used something called technology to make the dead speak.

"What? You said that the second girl in Zuifeng Yuan quietly sent someone to the yamen to investigate the girl's household registration? Of course, Cheng Zhang's remembered that the deed of sale she gave to Li Xu's before was actually fake, "What did the yamen say?" ”

"Madame, you forgot. It's the first day of December. If it had been a day earlier, the official in charge of household registration management in the yamen might have accepted the money and done the work. Now, ......" Mama Zhang's words were not finished, but Cheng Zhang understood.

In December of each year, the Yamen will seal and store all household registration materials and various case files in the area under its jurisdiction, and wait until the second day of February of the following year to open the database. Therefore, during this time, there is no way to handle matters related to household registration. Unless there is an emergency, there is a higher-level government document. As for the filing and filing of the change of the house and field, it will be delayed for ten days, and the warehouse will also be closed after the 10th day of December after the 10th day of the 12th month. Wait until the fifteenth day of the first month of the next year, after the official opening of the yamen.

"Mama Zhang, go and take a look, is the deed of sale still there?"

"Yes." Mama Zhang turned around and entered the inner hall, and after a squirming sound, she walked out of the inner hall with her head down, "Madam, the old woman has seen it, put it well." ”

"That's good. On the second day of February next year, you will ......"

"The old woman can save it."

"When this is done, we should almost leave for Linxian to worship the Buddha."

"That's what Madame said. The Bodhisattva Niangniang will definitely be able to bless Madame and give birth to a little master as she wishes. ”

It's also a shame that Li Junran was not at the scene, otherwise he would have jumped out and despised Cheng Zhang's and Mama Zhang's vicious master and servant. With such a bad heart, how could he give birth to a son as he wished? (To be continued......)
