Chapter 45 The great cause of renting a house will be prosperous (ask for collection and recommend votes)
Under the guidance of Wang Xiu, Geng Xiaofan and his entourage came to Wangxian Village.
"The lord came to the cold house, there was a lot of neglect, forgive me!" As soon as I entered the door, a middle-aged man in his forties greeted me.
"Don't be surprised if you take the liberty of visiting." Geng Xiaofan also hurried back the gift, not surprisingly, this is the owner of Forget Xianzhuang, but unfortunately, he only knows that his surname is Wang.
"Please!" The owner of the Wang Zhuang politely led them into the living room.
"Master Wang, I'm afraid I'm going to disturb you tonight." Geng Xiaofan has to arrange his accommodation tonight first.
"The lord has seen the outside world, and he has seen the outside! Don't say that it is Lord Geng, even if ordinary friends come, Wang Xian will also do his best to entertain him. The owner of Wang Zhuang unconsciously reported to his home, which made Geng Xiaofan breathe a sigh of relief, at least he would not make jokes anymore.
"Master Wang, my sister is a little unwell, can you let her go and rest first?" Geng Xiaofan saw that although Zhao Yizhu's spirit was much better, he was still a little weak, and wanted to settle her down first.
"Of course no problem!" Wang Xian hurriedly ordered the maids around him to come forward and take care of him.
"Childe, I'll go with my sister." Zhao Qin didn't worry about his sister alone.
"Go ahead, remember to let her eat something light and drink plenty of water." Geng Xiaofan commanded, he couldn't take care of it personally at this time, Zhao Qin was the most suitable person.
"I don't know where the lord is going on this trip, how can he pass by the humble house?" Seeing Zhao Yi's sister and brother go down, Wang Xian went straight to the point and went straight to the point.
"I am returning to my hometown this time, and I have come to Guizhuang, and I do have something to ask for." Now that Wang Xian is straight to the point, Geng Xiaofan is not ready to be polite to him.
"I have a dear friend who has been doing business in Bajun and Yunzhong all the year round. He intends to seek rent in Chang'an as a transit. Seeing that the location of your village is suitable, I took the liberty to come and hope that the owner of the village would give convenience. ”
"Want to rent a house?" Wang Xian was a little surprised.
"If the owner has a vacant property, it is best to rent it to him. If you really can't do it, you can rent a piece of land and let him build one by himself. Usually put some horses, tea bricks and other groceries, never operate externally, as little trouble as possible to the owner. Geng Xiaofan explained.
"Tea Horse! I understand! Wang Xian finally understood. That's a great idea! ”
"I hope the owner of the village will make it convenient." Geng Xiaofan feels that this "business" is going to be done!
"There really is a place in the place. I have a friend from the Western Regions, who trafficked camels from the Western Regions in the early years and built a livestock shed on my farm. ”
"Can you show us?" Geng Xiaofan is more confident.
"No problem, it's just too late today, can I go see it tomorrow morning?" Wang Xian was really straightforward and agreed without hesitation.
"Great! As long as the place is suitable, rent is not a problem! "Geng Xiaofan desperately wants this place! If Zhou Da thinks the rent is high, then he will rent it and do a partnership business with Zhou Da, anyway, he has already planned to do so.
"Huh! Well said, well said! The lord is far away, please go to the guest room to rest for a while, and have prepared a thin wine under it, waiting for the big driver! Wang Xian knew Geng Xiaofan's intention, and he was also relieved.
When they came to the guest room prepared for them by Wang Xian, Geng Xiaofan was very satisfied. I went to see Zhao Yizhu first, and told Zhao Qin to take care of him before returning to his room.
After a tired day, Geng Xiaofan simply freshened up. Dressing yourself up is also a sign of respect for the owner!
"Little Four, you have been traveling from south to north for many years, let me ask you, how big an official is this duke?" Geng Xiaofan felt that this Wang Xian respected him too much, and he was really curious about how powerful his "lord" was.
"Brother Fan, the title is not an official. There are twenty knighthoods in the world, the highest is the liehou, and you are the eighth rank, although it is not high, but it is already the highest among the commoners. Xiao Si seemed to understand something and explained to him as much as possible.
"It means, if I don't become an official, this title will come to an end, doesn't that mean?" Geng Xiaofan remembered Zhaojun's sister's words at that time, giving himself this title is the highest among civilians. If you want to be a eunuch, you can earn it by yourself.
When he remembered Qin, it seemed that he was knighted by virtue of his military exploits, and he didn't know if the Han Dynasty was like this.
"Yes, the imperial court has auspicious rui or Daqing, and they often give knights, but civilians give knights up to the public." This is something that Xiao Si can affirm.
"Then, in this way, this title is not good! Why is the owner of the Wang Zhuang so polite to us? Geng Xiaofan felt that there was a problem in the middle.
"Brother Fan, I'm afraid you're too careful. How many officials are there in the world? And even if you are an official, you don't necessarily have a knighthood. Only a person of high moral standing can be awarded this title. They should respect you as well. Xiao Si explained further.
"Oh! I thought that at the foot of the Son of Heaven in the capital of the Han Dynasty, the lord was all over the street, haha! The doubts in Geng Xiaofan's heart were dispelled.
However, since Wang Xian was so hospitable, Geng Xiaofan was also generous and took out the wine he carried.
This also opened Wang Xian's eyes!
"Sir, I'm afraid that your fine wine is not available in Weiyang Palace, there is such a mellow wine in the world!"
"The owner of the village has a good reputation, and the brewing trail is not enough, but this wine is filled with orchids prepared by Neiko, so the taste is more unique."
Geng Xiaofan doesn't want everyone to know that he will brew "high wine", which is not necessarily a good thing in this troubled era of the Western Han Dynasty.
"It turns out that the wine is from the hands of the lady, I don't know which lady is the daughter?" Wang Xian seems to be particularly interested in this wine.
"Madame doesn't dare to be." Geng Xiaoxia knew that the title of Mrs. at this time was not called casually.
"Actually, I'm not accurate, this trip outside the Saiwai, I was fortunate to get acquainted with the lord of Yanmen Liuquan Fort, fortunately he was in love with his daughter, and he has made a marriage contract with the lord of Liubao. After the New Year, I went to get married. ”
Geng Xiaofan quickly explained that this place was too close to Maoling, in case this Wang Xian pestered him to see his Fei'er, it would be really difficult for him to do it.
"Oh! I see! Presumably, the two must be a good couple, a match made in heaven! I don't know when I'll be able to see the fairy face. "Wang Xian really asked to see Fei'er!
"This is simple, on the day of the next wedding, I will accompany my inner son to serve the wedding wine!" Geng Xiaofan finally passed another level.
When he first arrived in an unfamiliar environment, Geng Xiaofan still kept an eye on it, and didn't dare to open up the booze, and after a few glasses, he used the excuse that he couldn't drink enough and ended the drinking game early.
The next day, Wang Xian really took them to see the mansion left by the merchants of the Western Regions.
Geng Xiaofan is basically satisfied, although the house is old, but the area and layout meet his requirements. After the New Year, it can be used with only a little repair.
Xiao Si is also very satisfied, this will be his "office" from now on!
negotiated the rent with Wang Xian, the two parties signed a contract, and Geng Xiaofan paid Zhou Da's rent for one year.
