Chapter 116: What Does This Have to Do With Me
Sudden rain came. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info is not like a rainstorm like a waterfall, but like flowing water, slowly, slowly, on the eaves converge into a trickle, and then drip down. There was no ticking sound in the light rain, but when it came together and landed in a half-filled water tank, there was naturally a crisp ticking sound.
Lin Lan and Shunyo came back from eating and drinking outside, and they happened to be drenched in two soup chickens. When she pushed open the gate of the courtyard, Lin Lan suddenly raised her eyebrows and asked, "You didn't lock the door?" ”
Shun Yu rolled his eyes and said, "Young master, you locked the door by yourself, and you still rely on me?" ”
The two pushed the door and entered, startled by the middle-aged man squatting under the eaves eating noodles.
"You...... How did you get in here? Shunyo asked with a stammer.
The man took a sip of the noodle soup, took a sip, pressed his chopsticks on the bowl, shook the key around his waist strung together with a large copper ring, and said, "Naturally open the door and come in." ”
Shun Yu suddenly thought of a very bad premonition, he pulled Lin Lan's clothes, and said, "Young master, is that damn intermediary rented to many people, otherwise how could he have a key?" ”
"It's said that there is no pie in the world, and you still don't believe it."
Shunyo said with some grievances: "It's you, the young master, who took the idea." ”
"Alright, don't pimp with me, come into the house and give me that dry clothes."
"Oh."
The rain was like mist, Lin Lan stood next to the middle-aged man and asked, "Brother Tai's surname?" ”
"Free of your surname. Wrapped. ”
"Didn't Brother Bao also rent this yard?" Lin Lan asked tentatively.
The middle-aged man said: "I only have the key to the courtyard outside, and I just want to take a look and send you some flowers and plants." ”
Only then did Lin Lan notice that there were indeed more potted plants in the courtyard.
"Oh, I didn't eat when I came, and the door of this stove was not locked, so I went in and made a bowl of noodles, but unfortunately there were some green onions missing." Bao Cheng smiled, and swept his eyes to the broken clay jar in the corner, with a few shallots planted on it, "But next time I come over, I should be able to sprinkle green onions." ”
"And you're the owner of this house?"
Bao Cheng narrowed his eyes, nodded, and said, "That's right." I came here to see which brave man had rented the mansion that had scared away the thirty-one tenants. ”
"Is this house haunted?"
Bao Cheng was stunned for a moment and said: "I haven't heard of the haunting, maybe when the wind blows in the summer, the wind will blow through the hall." ”
"And this house is full of thieves?"
"Where is it, on both sides of Qinhuai, that is the best place for security in Jinling City."
Lin Lan took the long shirt that was handed over smoothly and said, "You go into the house and wait for a while, and I'll change my clothes." ”
"Don't go in, it's good to squat here."
"Whatever you want."
Lin Lan entered the house and dried her body neatly, changed into a long shirt, and finally felt a lot more comfortable, and when she walked out of the house, she saw Bao Cheng standing at the door with his hands on his back and watching the rain.
"Since there are no ghosts and no thieves, and the price is so fair, I have no reason not to rent it." Lin Lan continued the topic just now.
Bao Dongjia smiled and said: "There is indeed nothing wrong with the house, but out of this house, the entire Wuyi Lane belongs to one family." ”
Lin Lan took the ginger tea that was handed over by Shun Yu, took a sip, returned it, and said, "Add sugar." ”
"Oh, what did you just say, it's a family, but what does it have to do with me?"
"That family's surname is Xue, and he is an imperial businessman."
Lin Lan said with a smile: "The imperial merchant is not the emperor, and I rent your mansion, and it is not the Xue family." ”
"I'm glad you think so, but I still want to remind you that there were originally many families here, and now you have also seen that except for you who are willing to rent my house, everyone else has moved away, whether they want to or not, they have all been sold to the Xue family."
"So, you're the only one here, a nail household?"
"Nail household? That's an interesting statement. ”
Lin Lan took the ginger tea that Shun Yu handed over again, only took a small sip, and then retreated, "You have a heart, right?" Do you want to kill me, young master? Mix with water! ”
“……”
Bao Cheng glanced at the ginger tea that was so red that it was thick, and scolded with a smile: "Why are you so stupid little servant?" ”
Shunyo turned around and scolded in his heart: You are stupid!
"I still have to remind you that the Xue family has wanted this land for a long time."
"What do they want to do?"
Bao Cheng looked at the rain in the middle of the night sky or flashing, and muttered: "Push the light to build a mansion." ”
"So you're waiting for the price to sell?"
"I don't want to sell at all!" Bao Cheng sighed, "But if you don't want to sell, you have to have a reason not to sell, so you want to rent it out, so it's all about taking advantage of everything, you know, the yamen has always recognized money and not people, and if you want to recognize people, at most you recognize those who are rich." ”
Lin Lan smiled: "I don't think you are a master who is short of money. ”
"Hehe, who would be afraid of having more money."
Lin Lan nodded and said, "That's right." ”
"Having said all that, have you paid attention?"
"The rent has been paid and the contract has been signed, what else do you want from me?" Lin Lan rolled her eyes.
A smile appeared at the corner of Bao Cheng's mouth and said, "I like people like you!" With this alone, Bao will definitely let you enter and exit Wuyi Lane unimpeded. ”
Lin Lan was stunned for a moment and said, "What's the matter?" ”
"Although those miscellaneous debris dare not spread wild in the house, it is difficult to ensure that some scoundrel things like blocking the road with stones and splashing swill."
"Heh, it's really the ancient moon shining on the present dust, and the demolition is as old as ever."
Bao Cheng was stunned, "Have you ever encountered such a thing?" ”
"I've heard of it."
"Then you can live in peace."
Lin Lan suddenly thought of something and said, "I want to ask you something." ”
"What do you say?" Bao Cheng is in a good mood at this moment.
"Is there a new mansion in Jinling City, called Jia Yu Village?"
"Childe, you are really well-informed, and you have only been in office for three days to inquire so clearly."
Lin Lan said: "Then please help me inquire about a person named Feng Yuan, who seems to be a son of a landlord's family." ”
"Okay, I'm wrapped in it!"
"Well, just listen to your name, it will be done!"
The door of the house was closed, and Shun Yu brought the freshly brewed ginger tea, Lin Lan took a sip and said, "Shun Yu, when you get up tomorrow, you will be busy again." ”
"What are you busy with, young master, just give your orders."
"Did you bring your new little clairvoyant?"
Shunyo nodded and said, "I brought it, although I can't see it clearly than the big tube, but it's a lot easier to carry." ”
"That's good." Lin Lan drank ginger tea, looked at the alley scene filled with smoke and rain, and muttered, "The surname is Xue, but what does this have to do with me?" ”
He is a tenant, renting a mansion that is packaged, and he can't fight with the Xue family, what else can he do?
He smiled, took another sip of ginger tea, suddenly frowned, and said in a low voice: "Shunyu, ......"
"What's the matter, young master?"
"What the hell is the enlarged ingredient in ginger tea!"
"Uh...... It's dark and I touch the wrong ......."
