Chapter 140: The Murderous House

After a night's rest, early the next morning, Yu Shu called Xia Mingming up, took Yu Xiaoxiu out of the door, and left Jingchen to rest in the inn.

At the corner of the street, Xia Mingming rented a car to go to the east of the city to find the Peiren Pavilion, and Yu Shu led Yu Xiaoxiu to wander around the unfamiliar streets.

"Sister, where are we going to inquire about the house?"

"Let's take a look around first." In ancient times, there was no real estate agent to find, they were not familiar with the place in the capital, and if they wanted to buy a house, they had to inquire about the way first, so as not to be deceived.

The sister and brother went around the nearby street, found a teahouse, asked for two plates of snacks, a pot of ice chrysanthemums, there were many people on the first floor of the tea house, there were storytellers patting a big folding fan to tell jokes, the second floor was a private seat, and there were few people on the stairs to enter and exit.

After listening for a while, Yu Shu took advantage of the book and text, and talked to an old gentleman at the next table, she went out this morning to comb her hair smooth, hairless on her forehead, people look more stable, the older generation has always liked the steady descendants, the old gentleman heard that she was polite, and the face was good, so he was happy to talk to her, after a cup of tea, Yu Shu naturally led the topic to the house.

The old gentleman's surname is Bai, is a local in the capital, as soon as he heard that Yu Shu wanted to settle here, he enthusiastically helped to give advice, and told her about the land in the south and north of the city.

Yu Shu thanked him, and immediately led Yu Xiaoxiu to find Huixing Street, but it was also smooth, as soon as he inquired on the street, he heard that there were several houses for rent and sale, and he was led by the enthusiastic lady to find someone.

There are more than a dozen alleys on Huixing Street, and most of the alleys are residential houses, with independent courtyards and old houses. Many courtyard walls have traces of rebuilding, Yu Shu thought that the price would be cheap, but he asked a few, the cheapest one, also cost 150 taels of silver to win the title deed, and let Yu Shu agree with the two. They are all rented and not sold, and they cost eight taels of silver a month.

Yu Shu and Yu Xiaoxiu both felt that it was expensive, so they bought a vacant house, without furniture, and then they had to buy it. I won't even have money for food next month.

As a last resort, Yu Shu and Yu Xiaoxiu changed places again, and inquired about another street from the enthusiastic lady, and looked at it in the past, but the house on Huixing Street was not clean.

At noon, they bought a basket of steamed buns on the street to eat. Because of the confession, the second child sent food to Jingchen's room. I was not in a hurry to go back, and went back to Xing Street, and if I wanted to say no, I would rent the house for eight taels of silver a month first, which was better than living in an inn and wasting it.

Back on Huixing Street, Yu Shu wanted to find the two houses he had seen before, but was stopped at the mouth of an alley.

"Little brother. The two little brothers in front of them," a slightly chubby young man ran up. walked around to Yu Shu and said with a smile: "You are looking for a house to buy in the morning, right?" ”

Yu Shu nodded. They wandered around the street for half a day in the morning, and it was not surprising that they had been heard of buying a house.

"That's good, I have a yard here, it's only been built for a few years, the place is quiet, there are plants and trees in the yard, I look at the little brother like a scholar, and it's perfect to live in my house."

The man opened his mouth to boast, and wanted to lead Yu Shu to go with him to see the house, Yu Shu asked about it on the back street, looking at this bright day, he was not afraid of his misdeeds, so he went with him.

When I arrived at the place, I knew that the fat man did not lie, the small house arranged in this courtyard was indeed good, one room in the east and west and one room in the north, there was also a stove room in the corner of the courtyard, a row of fences surrounded a small circle of land, although there were only some wild flowers and weeds in it, no one took care of it, it seemed a little sluggish, and it was rare to have a little interest.

When Yu Shu saw it, he liked this small courtyard, and after a closer look inside and out, he found that there was no feng shui problem, so he turned his head and asked the owner: "How much are you willing to sell this small courtyard?" ”

The fat landlord was reluctant to say: "Alas, I am sick in my family, anxious to raise money for medicine, this house was originally only rented and not sold, if you can buy it now, I will only charge you two hundred taels of silver." ”

The price is not expensive, compared with the house itself, it is cheap, presumably it is not an urgent money, and it cannot be taken without three hundred taels, which makes Yu Shu very excited.

"Are the title deeds all complete?" Yu Shu was at the tea house in the morning, and he asked Mr. Bai about the procedures for buying a house in Anling City clearly, for fear of encountering a liar.

The fat landlord immediately took out the title deed in his arms and handed it to her: "Oh, I'll take it with me, I'll take you to the government office to get a famous household, press your fingerprint, and then you give me the money, and the house will be yours." ”

Yu Shu has seen the deed of Zhao Hui's small courtyard, recognizes the format, and sees that the contract in his hand has been in hand for several years, it doesn't seem to be a fraud, not to mention that she has to go to see the official, and the money is paid after the most, she is not a stupid person, if she really finds out that he is cheating, it is a big deal not to buy it.

Yu Shu had an idea in his heart, and asked the landlord a few more words, so he made an appointment with him to go to the yamen tomorrow to transfer the house, and the landlord was overjoyed and happily sent them away.

After the group left, a few women came out of the alley, gathered together and muttered, pointing to the house that Yu Shu planned to buy, and the voice came out faintly:

"This is for Xu Lao Liu to find the wronged leader"

"Yes, that murderous house is all haunted, and no one wants it for nothing, those two outsiders"

"Xu Lao Liu gambled and lost again."

***

Yu Shu and Yu Xiaoxiu went to a nearby pharmacy to grab the medicine, and then went back to the inn, the sky was still bright, and Xia Ming had not returned.

In the guest room, Jingchen sat in front of the window, watching Jinbao lick his paws and comb his hair, and when he heard the footsteps outside the door, he got up and walked a few steps forward, and heard a knock on the door.

"Jingchen, open the door, we're back."

Yu Shu and Yu Xiaoxiu entered the house, poured a cup of tea first, and Jingchen sat down opposite Yu Shu and raised his hand to compare:

'How?' ’

Yu Shu said: "Look at one place, tomorrow I will take the money to the government to transfer the house, I will add a few pieces of furniture when I go back, clean it, it will take a few days to move over, when the time comes, you will live in a room, obviously live in one, I and Xiao Xiu will live in one." ”

Jingchen smiled, did not raise any objections, and saw that Yu Shu's cup was empty, so he took the initiative to lift the teapot to refill her with water.

Before it was time to eat, the three of them sat in the house and were busy with their own work, Yu Xiaoxiu and Jinbao didn't see each other for a day, so they were tired together, Yu Shu took the abacus and paper and pen, and deliberately calculated a bad account for himself, and found nothing abnormal, for the sake of insurance, he used Liuyao to buy a house and buy a house, which was also smooth.

Jing Chen sat quietly on the side and watched Yu Shu plan to plate.

In the evening, Xia Mingming came back and found the next door, and when she entered the door, she looked sullen, Yu Shu guessed that she was probably out of school, so she deliberately quipped:

"Have you seen any Great Yi Master?"

She heard from Xia Mingming's mouth that the Peiren Pavilion is a teahouse for Yike who come to Beijing to refer to the Dayan exam to exchange knowledge, to put it bluntly, it is a place for a group of melancholy gods to chat and fart, in that kind of place, whether you have the ability is not the most important thing, the most important thing is to have a mouth.

With Xia Mingming's stinky temper, Yu Shu expected that her party would not gain anything today last night, and sure enough, Xia Mingming sat next to Yu Shu angrily, patted the table and said angrily:

"Those bastards who look down on people with dogs, Miss Ben talks to them, she can afford them, and they dare to stand with me one by one, thinking that they are something, Miss Ben has been learning since she was four years old, and Qimen gossip can be memorized upside down, no better than their half-assed, if it weren't for the loss of my letter of recommendation, I would have to pay attention to them!"

The more Xia Mingming spoke, the more angry he became, the spittle stars flew out, snatched the teacup in Yu Shu's hand, raised his head and drank it, and put the cup on the table heavily, making a loud noise.

Yu Xiaoxiu looked at Yu Shu, Jingchen looked at Yu Shu, Yu Shu couldn't help laughing, and when she finished venting, she stood up casually:

"I'm hungry, I'll go downstairs and see what I've got to eat."

Yu Xiaoxiu also stood up, "I'll go with you." ”

Jingchen also wanted to leave, but he got up late, and Yu Xiaoxiu had already dragged Yu Shushuang and disappeared, so he had to sit back again.

Xia Mingming puffed out his red cheeks, and couldn't find anyone who could speak, so he stared at Jing Chen, who was left, Jing Chen looked back at her innocently, his handsome face, it was difficult to make people angry, and after a while, Xia Mingming was embarrassed at first, pushed the empty cup in his hand forward, lowered his head and ran out of the house, muttering in a low voice:

"Bai has a good skin, but unfortunately he is dumb and stupid, and he is a white eater."

Jingchen turned his head, looked at the figure that flashed at the door, closed his eyes lightly, and the hand on the table slowly clenched into a fist, the bone joints were clear, and there was a crunch sound, and then he let go again.

***

No matter how Xia Mingming begged at night, Yu Shu didn't agree to go to the Peiren Pavilion with her, and drove her out early the next morning.

It's not that Yu Shu deliberately made it difficult for her, from a certain point of view, Yu Shu also considered Xia Mingming, taking this rare opportunity to sharpen her sharpness and let her eat ashes a few times, so that she could know the sophistication of people.

As soon as Xia Mingming left, Yu Shu planned to go out to do business, but before leaving, Jingchen said that he wanted to follow her.

Yu Shu thought to himself, anyway, the road is not far, Zhen Jingchen was tired halfway, and when they came back, they took a carriage, so they asked Yu Xiaoxiu to stay at the inn to take care of the salute, and went out with Jingchen.

When the two of them arrived at Huixing Street, Xu Fatzi was already waiting for them at the place where they had made an appointment yesterday, and when they saw Yu Shu showing up on time, he greeted them with a smile.

Originally, he planned to go directly to the government to go through the formalities, but since Jing Chen came with him, it didn't take long for a while, Yu Shu asked Xu Fatzi to lead him and take Jing Chen to the house first, and he would also be one of the tenants in the future.

As soon as Xu Fatzi heard Yu Shu say that he wanted to take Jingchen to see the house, he moved his eyes to Jingchen, and his heart said that this person had a good temperament, so he asked tentatively: "Who is this one?" ”

Yu Shu said: "It's my brother, and I will live with him in the future." ”

Xu Fatzi immediately smiled and said, "That's okay, why didn't you bring it yesterday, let's go." ”
