Ji Ning was not prepared to participate in the Oiran Conference held in Tianxianglou at first, but Tianxianglou heard that Ji Ning lived in the Yuelaiju Inn, and thought of some of Ji Ning's previous relationship with Tianxianglou, so he still sent the invitation.

There is an invitation to Tianxianglou, you can save a few taels of silver, after entering, good tea, good wine and good food are entertained, which is equivalent to Tianxianglou inviting Ji Ning to have a big meal, Tianxianglou will not do a loss-making business, the reason why Tianxianglou will invite Ji Ning, is also to see the value of Ji Ning's talent and identity, there are Ji Ning to go to Tianxianglou, many students who want to compete with Ji Ning in talent, knowledge, and women's charm will also go together, which is a propaganda effect.

The guy who came to deliver the letter from Tianxianglou said: "Master Ji, if you want to go over, just let me know in advance, we will prepare the carriage and horses, you still have a few friends, we have also invited, all the expenses after the past are recorded in the account of Tianxianglou, you just have to go." If you need to be accompanied by a girl, we will try to arrange it for you! ”

The tone of his speech was very polite, which made Ji Ning feel that he was being treated as a VIP.

When you go to a place like Tianxianglou, you can eat and play, and you don't have to spend money, just to enjoy it, this taste is still very good, but Ji Ning is worried about the imperial examination in the coming year, and he is not very keen on this kind of pleasure.

"Got it." Ji Ning said, "I've thought about it in the next time, and I'll give you an answer!" ”

Even if he was treated as a VIP, Ji Ning didn't want to join in the fun, and when he looked back, he had to look at the attitude of Tang Xie and the others, if those four all went, if he didn't go, it would be a little unreasonable.

He put things aside for the time being, these days he himself is also looking for a yard to move out, the housing prices around the capital are quite high, buy a courtyard courtyard with a courtyard, almost six or seven hundred taels of silver, can not buy a good corner, buy a courtyard in an inner city like Chongwenmen, basically cost more than a thousand taels, let alone a house with two courtyards or three courtyards.

Ji Ning wants to rent a courtyard house with a single courtyard, and it costs almost one or two taels of silver every month, and it is impossible to rent the inner city, which is even more expensive than the inn, after thinking about it for a long time, Ji Ning decided to move out temporarily, after all, there are too many people in the inn, and he usually has to take Yu Ling with him when he wants to go out, and it is not easy to leave her alone in the inn, after all, Yu Ling is not very old, and she is still a yellow flower girl on weekdays, plus Yu Ling is smart and capable, Ji Ning is reluctant to lose Yu Ling.

If Yu Ling was really kidnapped by someone in the capital, he would have nowhere to look for it, and it was likely that he would be separated forever.

Ji Ning wants to find a courtyard to live in, and he will go out with Yuling, he doesn't want to live too close to Tang Xie and others, and he can't live too far, his idealized residence is in the Chongwenmen generation, but he should be biased to the side of the people's houses, so that he will not be bothered by some troubles in the market. After the end of November, the price of renting a house in the capital also rose, and Ji Ning went to a few places, but he didn't choose the right one, not because of the high price or anything, but he felt a little unsatisfactory.

He was resting in the inn that day, when suddenly someone came to visit him.

This time he came to visit him not a person, but a person from the market, no post, came up and said that he invited Ji Ning to have a cup of tea downstairs, Ji Ning felt that this person was ghostly, it was not credible, but seeing that the person was still a little smart, he seemed to know something about him, so he followed downstairs to have a cup of tea together.

"Master Ji, don't be troublesome about the villain, the villain is a small foreman of the Chongwenmen generation, recently I want to prepare a little money for my mother-in-law and baby, and I want to do an errand for my teeth, I heard that you are looking for a yard to live in, I have a few good yards here, do you want to go over and have a look?" When someone came up, he bluntly said his profession.

Ya Man, also known as Ya Lang, if it is a woman to do this errand, it will be called Ya Po, to put it bluntly, it is a person who introduces in the middle of buying and selling, acts as an intermediary, and then collects commissions on both sides.

Such people generally have a certain background in the government or the rivers and lakes, understand the surrounding situation, and even provide some policy convenience, to put it bluntly, they can do what people cannot, and then provide convenience for buyers and sellers. Ji Ning knows that in fact, this is the prototype of the intermediary that will be popular in later generations, but the tooth people in these years need to hide and tuck, the government does not allow people from the private sector to engage in this type of industry, everything needs to be reported to the government, and those who just want to do this industry want to make a fortune quietly, and they don't want to get into trouble, and they are stared at by the government.

"Oh? If there is a yard, you can introduce it, but ...... I don't know you very well, how can I be sure that you are not a liar? Ji Ning said.

The man smiled and said: "Master Ji, you look down on the villain, no matter how bold the villain is, how dare he follow the master, especially Xie Yuangong?" To put it bluntly, you haven't lived in the capital for a long time, and you are likely to be a jinshi in the coming year, let alone at that time, even if you want to pinch a humble person like a villain to death now, it's not a matter of your words? The villain doesn't dare to make trouble with you! ”

Ji Ning shook his head and said: "It's not as exaggerated as you said, you didn't mess with me, what reason do I have to target you?" Besides, doing business is about integrity, and it depends on how you do it! ”

"Master Ji is an understanding person, and the villain's favorite thing is to do business with people who understand, isn't it? Let's put it this way, there is a little connection behind the villain, what kind of yard do you want, or what kind of needs you have, such as wine and wealth, as long as you can think of it, the villain can help get it. As long as you can afford to pay for it! The visitor seemed to be very enthusiastic about recommending it.

Ji Ning glanced at this person and asked, "What do you call it?" ”

"Villain...... The surname is Lin, a single name is a righteous word, because he is the second oldest in the family, others always call Lin Laoer, and Master Ji can also be called so. The man said with a smile.

Ji Ning said: "Then I will call you Lin Er, ask you something, you have nothing to do, investigate me very clearly, and say what yard you want to introduce to me, how much silver can you make from it?" ”

Lin Yi hesitated a little, and after thinking about it, he said, "I can earn a penny or two." ”

"If you can make a single business in a day, which is still a lot, then how many days can you make a single business?" Ji Ning continued to ask.

"It's hard to say, if it's to help people introduce people to work under the foreman, as a husband, maybe you will charge one or two pennies, and make a living on weekdays, if you say that this kind of business can earn more than 100 wen at a time, you can make two orders every month, which is good! Master Ji, you are an understanding person, I won't hide it from you, you can give the villain this deal to do, the villain must be grateful! Lin Yi bowed his hand.
