Chapter 236: Infiltrating Changsha (Second Update, Asking for Subscriptions, Asking for Monthly Tickets!) )
After entering Changsha City, Wang Henian's first thought was that Changsha Mansion City is really big!
Even compared with the provincial capital Wuchang, Changsha is not at all concedent.
Of course, Wang Henian's first consideration was not to familiarize himself with the structure of the city, but to find a place to settle down first.
Anyway, he has to stay in Changsha for a long time, and some time is to walk the streets and alleys and get acquainted with the neighborhood markets.
There are only a few options to settle in.
The first is to buy a house, the second is to rent, the third is to live in an inn, and the fourth is to stay in a temple.
Wang Henian's identity is a wandering monk, and it stands to reason that the fourth type is the most suitable.
However, Wang Henian only knows a little about Buddhism, and it is okay to deal with some outsiders and even deceive them, but it is a little difficult to deal with people in the industry.
Therefore, Wang Henian was the first to rule out the option of staying in the temple.
Otherwise, if you really talk about Buddhism with the local monks, Wang Henian will definitely wear a goof.
As for staying in an inn, it is not too suitable.
The inn can be lived by people from all over the world, and it is easy to expose the identity of the three religions and nine streams.
And it seems that monks rarely have guest houses, right? It doesn't sound very reliable.
As for buying a house, Wang Henian really wanted to buy a set at first.
The coils he wore on his body should be enough, but in this way, he would not be rich.
Wandering monks shouldn't be so rich, right?
He's not a wine and meat monk...
After thinking about it, there was only one option left to rent a house.
Wang Henian didn't want to procrastinate, so he immediately came to the city to prepare to rent a house.
The tooth shop he found was called Huilai Ya Shop, which was in the most lively area of the city's square street.
Seeing a monk walk in, the guy waved his hand a little impatiently: "Master, we don't have a relationship here, you better go somewhere else." ”
Wang Henian said in his heart that this person would be wrong, so he folded his hands and said, "Amitabha." The little monk is a wandering monk who happened to arrive in this Changsha city and wanted to rent a house. I wonder if you can help? ”
"Rent a house?"
The guy listened to Wang Henian's intentions, and the contempt in his eyes finally dissipated a little.
"This master wants to rent a house? That's the right place to be. Our Huilai Yaxing is a first-class existence in Changsha City. In the north of the city, in the west of the city, in the east of the city, as long as you name it, we can find you a house. ”
"Good, good, so good."
Wang Henian bowed slightly.
"I don't know where Master wants to rent the house?"
"Well, the little monk has just arrived, and he still asks the donor for advice."
The guy saw that Wang Henian's attitude was so modest, and his mood was much better.
He proudly introduced: "Our Changsha city is noble in the north and cheap in the south, poor in the west and rich in the east." Depending on the location, the rent of the house varies many times. You have to see how much money the teacher can make, so Xiao Ke can recommend it to you. ”
Wang Henian thought about it secretly, and said in his heart, what this guy said was reasonable, so he said in a harmonious voice: "I don't know if there is a house with one or two silver a month?" ”
One tael of silver a month!
The guy gasped when he heard this, and he couldn't see that this monk was quite rich.
In Changsha City, buying a set of similar yards is a few dozen taels.
Wang Henian has to spend one or two silver to rent for a month, which must at least be a second-entry house in a good location.
"Mage, this money can live in the north of the city. Are you alone or do you have a companion? ”
"Just the little monk."
"It doesn't have to be that expensive. I think the teacher is also a sincere person, so I might as well tell you. It is in this northern city where every inch of land is valuable, renting a house is only six taels of silver a year. ”
Wang Henian nodded and said, "The house I entered is enough to live." I don't know if there is an existing house now. ”
The man nodded happily, and then took a thick book.
"This is the house in the north of the city, and it's all on it. Mage, let's see if there's anything that catches your eye. ”
Wang Henian naturally wouldn't live in Changsha for so long, but in order not to arouse suspicion, he could only make a New Year's appointment.
Anyway, six taels of silver is not too much, so I paid it all at once.
"It's a nice house..."
There are not too many requirements for the king of the house, he ordered one at random, and the guy immediately took over and said: "The master is really good-looking, this house belongs to Cui Xiucai's family." Cui Xiucai Township passed the exam and will go to Beijing to catch the exam next year. The house was rented out. The scholar's house is the cleanest, and you don't have to clean it up to live in it right away. It's just a fitting fit. ”
Wang Henian never thought that he would pick a house at random and choose a talented man, and he was secretly surprised in his heart.
"Can I go and see the property now?" Won't it delay this talent's reading? ”
Wang Henian knew that scholars valued time very much, so he asked in advance.
"It's okay, Cui Xiucai has already handed over the house to us, I'll take you to see the house."
Wang Henian nodded, it's okay not to meet with this master's family, otherwise he really doesn't know what to say when he meets.
"Then let's go check it out now."
"Okay, Xiao Ke likes a refreshing patron like the mage!"
The guy said in his heart that he was really lucky today, and there was business delivered to his door early in the morning.
Although he is a monk, he is quite bold, and it seems that he will have to change his prejudice against monks in the future.
"Mage, wait here for a moment, I'll go find the key."
With that, the guy slipped into the room.
Wang Henian said in his heart that he was not familiar with the life in Changsha, and he still had to rely on this guy, so he planned to take out a share of the money to reward this guy.
After a cup of tea, the man went and returned, carrying a bunch of keys in his hand.
"I'm sorry to keep the mage waiting. As you can see, we have too many keys in our hands to be unclear for a while. ”
Wang Henian smiled slightly: "It's okay." ”
"I haven't sorted it yet, I'll take this set of keys with me, and we'll talk as we go."
Wang Henian was surprised: "Isn't this house far from here?" ”
The guy hurriedly said: "It's just across the street, and it can't be any closer!" ”
Wang Henian nodded and said, "Okay." ”
The two of them walked out of their teeth one after another, the guy walked in front, and Wang Henian walked behind.
"Listening to the mage's accent, it should be someone from Jiangxi, right?"
Wang Henian hurriedly said: "Yes, I am from Ji'an, Jiangxi. ”
Wang Henian's mother is from Ji'an, so he can speak Jiangxi dialect.
Sichuan dialect must not be spoken, otherwise it is easy to attract attention.
Now that Jiangxi is still in the hands of the Qing army, there should be no problem in speaking Jiangxi dialect.
"Jiangxi is good, and Ji'an is even more literate. I heard that many of the champions of the former Ming Dynasty were from Ji'an. ”
Wang Henian sighed in his heart, this word Qianming is really harsh.
Could it be that in the eyes of these people, Daming is already a memory?
"I'm a person who can read faces, mage, you are full of heaven, and you are a blessed person at first glance. If you are still a vulgar student, maybe you can still get famous! ”
