Hearing that Zhang Xiaoxian and they came to Lin'an to enter Helan Academy to practice, Zhang Yun'er's expression was a little solemn.

After looking at the young man next to him a few times up and down, he said: "Great Song Guozhong, no, it should be the young talents among the countries who want to enter the Helan Academy to study and practice, there are countless of them, and the conditions for the treatment of candidates in the academy are extremely strict, my two elder brothers, and I have wanted to enter, but they have been eliminated after several exams, how can you, a small soldier from a border city, have the confidence to enter such a holy place of cultivation?"

"Whether you can enter or not, you have to try, and the most important thing is that Lin Zi wants to enter ......"

"He?" Zhang Yun'er immediately stopped in shock when she heard this, and pointed to the carriage behind her: "He also wants to enter, no, impossible!"

"There is no impossibility, someone once said that he is a natural cultivator, and he has the potential to practice!"

"Nonsense, who said that?"

"Of course, it was said by a great cultivator who had already cultivated to the realm of Imperial Light, and he had seen it for him. ”

Listening to Zhang Xiaoxian's conclusion that a great cultivator who had entered the realm of imperial light, Zhang Yun'er no longer questioned what Zhang Xiaoxian said, but turned surprise into envy.

"You must know that cultivators are extremely respected not only in the Song Kingdom, but also in all the countries of the world, especially those who have great cultivation, so once they are determined to be a person with cultivation potential, they will be recognized as having a bright future waiting for him, and they will be envied by most people. ”

"Lin Zi will definitely become such a person, I have confidence in him......" Zhang Xiaoxian said extremely firmly, and the corners of his resolute mouth turned up slightly at this time.

"What about you?"

"Of course I want to go in too!" Zhang Xiaoxian replied, but in his mind, he thought of what a certain great cultivator had said to him, the judgment that the veins in his body were not connected, and his face was slightly dark.

Not far from Helan Temple, there are three relatively large streets in the north and south, and to the east of Helan Yuan is an unnamed towering mountain, where it is said that there lives a worldly master who never shows up, but no one has ever seen it, because no one outside Helan Yuan has climbed the mountain.

On the north and south streets, the market is bustling, merchants and shops abound, and there are more strange people who are juggling and juggling, and from time to time everyone gathers in a vacant lot in the street to watch.

Most of the people in the market are talking about trouble, and it is definitely not possible to be quiet.

"If you want to meet the conditions you mentioned, the only way to do that is Westwillow Street in the west. Zhang Yun'er said.

"Let's go straight to Willow Street, where I know you well. ”

Xiliu Street? Zhang Xiaoxian was stunned for a moment, how could this name be a little familiar, yes, wasn't the house where the Zhang and Li families fought over that street?

Zhang Xiaoxian followed Zhang Yun'er through the streets and alleys, went around for more than two hours, and finally came to a street that was not very spacious, but the scenery was relatively quiet.

On both sides of the clean and tidy street, there are neatly arranged courtyards, and various flowers and trees stand in front of the courtyards, revealing a faint fragrance.

The breeze gusted, and it brought a little dampness.

"In the back of these courtyards, there is a small lake, where the scenery is good, planted with lotus flowers all over the lake, when the lotus blooms, it attracts many birds, flying around the lake, chirping birds, faint fragrance of flowers, it does have a certain artistic conception. ”

"The place is good, but the price is also very expensive, right?" Zhang Xiaoxian still said what he had been worried about.

"It's a bit expensive, but the place is really good, otherwise how would my father want to buy a house here for my eldest brother......"

Zhang Xiaoxian couldn't help but touch his nose after hearing this, if you want to talk about silver, he does have more than three hundred taels, but that is all accumulated by Zhang Xingshan's father for him and Zhang Linzi all his life, and when he was in Yuancheng, Lao Chu gave some points from time to time, these all add up, and that's all, of course, these are also considerable for ordinary people.

But even so, it can't all be used to buy a house, he and Lin Zi still have to eat.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaoxian looked at Zhang Yun'er with some confidence: "If, if we buy a smaller house here, how much silver do you estimate it will take?"

Zhang Yun'er tilted her head and thought about it, and said, "What's the matter, it also costs five hundred taels." ”

"Five hundred taels!" Zhang Xiaoxian only felt a tightness in his heart: "How can you use so much?"

He couldn't help but secretly compare in his heart, if he wanted to buy a good house in a place like Yuancheng, it would be enough to buy a good house for only sixty or seventy taels, but in this Lin'an City, it would cost five hundred taels, which shows that the words of this son of heaven are not a lie.

In this capital, the hundreds of taels of silver of the two brothers are really not worth mentioning.

Zhang Yun'er saw that Zhang Xiaoxian's face changed in an instant, and she knew that he was frightened by the price she said.

hurriedly smiled and comforted: "What are you afraid of, isn't it just that the silver is not enough, it doesn't matter if I add it to you." ”

"How can this work, I don't like to owe people anything!" Zhang Xiaoxian said stubbornly.

"Then you owe me first, and then you will pay me back when you have it, so it's always okay, right?"

The topic of silver was finally settled, but what made them really feel a headache was in the back, when Zhang Yun'er took Zhang Xiaoxian to the intermediary to ask if there was a house on Xiliu Street that he wanted to sell, the steward there shook his head like a rattle.

"It's long gone, such a good territory, where are there still vacant houses, and there are also houses that have already been paid by someone and may be able to be sold immediately. ”

"What? doesn't have a set? It doesn't matter if it's big or small......" Zhang Yun'er looked at the intermediary manager with some anxiety and said.

Hearing this, Guan Qian shook his head, and then looked at her in a daze and said, "Yes, yes, it is the house where you fought against the Doctor Feng's Mansion and the Doctor's Mansion of Li Zhongshi. ”

When Zhang Yun'er heard this, she immediately shook her head: "How can the house be done, if you let Xiaoxian and the two of them live, it is too lenient, not to mention, that house is also a long time ago seen by Daddy, and it is about to be given silver." ”

When the steward heard this, he shook his head with a wry smile: "Isn't it that you haven't paid the deposit yet?" Besides, the owner of the house today also said that the original price was too low, and if you still want to buy it, you need to add another three hundred taels. ”

"What!" Zhang Yun'er almost jumped up at that time.

"A house with only three entrances has been opened to a high price of 2,700 taels, and it is not satisfied, and it is even necessary to add 300 taels, which is too outrageous!"

The steward shook his head and said: "Who can blame this, in addition to the fact that this house is surrounded by mountains and lakes, and the scenery layout is indeed good, you two doctors' mansions do not let each other go, and climbing and increasing the price is also one of the reasons, that Li Zhongshi's mansion has already come again today, they agreed to adjust the price to three thousand taels, and said that they should pay the silver with one hand and deliver it with the other hand as soon as possible." ”

"Hmph! It's shameless!" Zhang Yun'er's face turned red when she heard this, and she scolded fiercely.

Zhang Xiaoxian looked at Zhang Yun'er, who was angry and red, and turned his head to ask the manager of the intermediary bank, "The owner of the house has already agreed?"

The steward shook his head: "Although there is no final deal, the main family has been tempted, saying that he will reply to the Li family tomorrow, and if it is okay, the deal will be made immediately." ”

"No, this mansion must not fall into the hands of the Li family!" Zhang Yun'er said loudly, "I want to go back and discuss with Daddy, even if I take more silver, I will snatch this courtyard." ”

"Miss Zhang, why bother, according to my prediction, now the price is far more than the value of the house, you two are just a momentary frustration, if you really spend so much money to buy it, maybe you will regret it, so I still advise you to take a step back." ”

"If you don't retreat, why did our Zhang Mansion retreat, if you want to retreat, it will also be his Li family's retreat!" Zhang Yun'er said stubbornly.

When the steward heard this, he not only shook his head again and again.

"Can we talk to the owner of the house?" Zhang Xiaoxian said directly to the intermediary manager at this time.

The steward was stunned, he didn't expect this young man to have such a request, and he didn't know what he was going to do.

"Yes, we want to see him. Zhang Yun'er also said with some annoyance.

The steward of the "......" looked a little embarrassed, because he knew that if the two sides met, there would definitely be no good fruit to eat.

"Don't worry, we're just talking, we don't want to do anything!" Zhang Xiaoxian looked at the man with a smile.

"Well, I'll ask for you. ”

The intermediary steward went out, and came back after a short time, and said to the two helplessly that the master's family didn't want to see anyone at all, and not only that, but also raised the price of the house by three hundred taels again, to three thousand three hundred taels......

"What!" Zhang Yun'er looked stunned, staring at the steward in a daze, unable to say a word.

Zhang Xiaoxian, who was standing on the side, was also a little surprised when he heard it, but after thinking about it carefully, this matter is indeed a little unusual, the owner of this house ...... There is a bold color.

According to the current situation, the Zhang and Li families are both officials of the imperial court, if they really want a small people's house, it can be said that it should not be very difficult to do.

It's still asking for a price, and if it's not tired of living, it's a dull one.

However, the owner of this house blatantly played with the two court officials, and raised the price at every turn, making them compete for each other, and the situation was inexorable.

Such a character is not easy to say.

"What kind of person is the owner of the house?" Zhang Xiaoxian was surprised in his heart, staring at the steward and asked.

"I heard that it is the gang leader of the famous Qianlong Gang in Lin'an City......" Without waiting for the steward to speak, Zhang Yun'er, who was standing on the side and was a little relieved, said in a very unkind tone.

"If it weren't for that, you think that according to my father's identity, you can let him play like this!"

"But even if he is a powerful character with money, he can't be so untrustworthy, I think he may not want to sell this house at all, he just wants to find a trick to play with. ”

"Who said that my brother didn't want to sell that house, little guy, don't be a fool!" Zhang Xiaogosi's voice had just fallen, and suddenly a person appeared behind him and replied dissatisfied.
