Chapter 14 This is a very serious problem
Everyone was stunned, and hurriedly turned their heads to look, but saw a thin man in his twenties wearing a crow-blue robe and holding a bone fan coming from outside.
"Hey, Fourth Master Qi, why are you here?" As soon as the intermediary manager saw the person, he immediately stepped forward and greeted him respectfully.
Who knew that the fourth master of Qi didn't even roll his eyelids at him, but walked directly towards Zhang Xiaoxian.
"Fang Cai, what did you say, can you say it again?"
Zhang Xiaoxian thought about it for a while, and knew that even if the person who came was not the owner of the house, he was also a very close person.
Seeing him pressing so closely, he looked at him and said calmly: "I said, you have no intention of selling that house, otherwise you wouldn't have asked for such a sky-high price!"
Hearing Zhang Xiaoxian say this, that Fourth Master Qi was stunned, he looked the young man in front of him up and down in disbelief for a long time, and asked with a sneer: "You shouldn't be from Lin'an, you speak so unscrupulously, aren't you afraid of making my Fourth Master Qi angry?"
"If what I said is true, then what do you have to be angry about? What can you do, can't others say it?" Zhang Xiaoxian replied without hesitation.
This can frighten the intermediary steward standing aside, this is going to be a big mess, someone actually disrespects this Buddha, and says such provocative words, and is tired of living?
"Hehe, Fourth Master Qi, this is not ......" The steward was kind-hearted, and seemed to want to mediate, but that Fourth Master Qi laughed at this time after a moment.
said to Zhang Xiaoxian: "Yes, what you said is right, but the master is now asking for a sky-high price, by the way, just now I went to our intermediary line, and the report was 3,300 taels of silver, right, okay, now it has changed, 4,000 taels, no one is missing, do you want it?"
"You, you ......" Zhang Yun'er was on the side, seeing that this person was so unreasonable, she was already blushing with anger.
Qi Siye looked at Zhang Xiaoxian, saw that he was noncommittal, squinted at Zhang Yun'er again, and then turned around with a smile: "Since you don't have a big appetite, don't say anything sour." After saying that, he brushed his sleeves and left.
......
The matter of finding a house has not been settled, and now the house that Zhang Fu wants seems to be unsuccessful, Zhang Xiaoxian and Zhang Yun'er are a little depressed, but fortunately, they are not the kind of people who retreat when they encounter difficulties.
Emerging from the intermediary, the two began to walk aimlessly down the street, as if this was the only way to hope.
Unconsciously, I actually walked around most of Xiliu Street, but I just looked at the decent buildings and exquisite courtyards here, and sighed.
Walking through the main street, turning towards the back street, and finally in front of a courtyard near the lake, Zhang Yun'er stopped first.
Looking at the front of the house, which is more secluded than other houses, by the water and the lake, the flowers and plants are flourishing, and the paths are leisurely, as if it is a peach orchard-like house outside the world, Zhang Yun'er is silent, and her expression is a little lonely.
"It's really good!" Zhang Xiaoxian looked at the courtyard and admired it from the bottom of his heart.
If you can live in a house like this with Lin Zi, how comfortable it would be, Zhang Xiaoxian thought to himself.
"This place is naturally good, otherwise how would it attract everyone to rush to it and spend a lot of money...... "A low voice with inexplicable majesty came from Zhang Xiaoxian's side.
The two turned their heads to look, only to see a man dressed in half-used white with a free and easy smile, quietly appearing in front of them.
Zhang Xiaoxian looked at this middle-aged man who was already standing in front of him without realizing it at all, and suddenly felt an inexplicable unease and chagrin in his heart.
To tell the truth, he was not used to it, and there was already a stranger around him who might put him in danger, but he was not aware of it and had no defense.
Zhang Xiaoxian is a young hunter who has been wandering in the mountains since he was a child, a small soldier who has killed many opponents stronger than himself on the battlefield, how can he react so slowly...... If the other party wanted to kill him, he would probably be dead by now.
Zhang Xiaoxian was a little annoyed at this time, he stared at those eyes full of vigilance, staring closely at this person's every move after that, trying to see through, see through him, and then put him within the range of his control.
"Are you speculating about me?" The middle-aged man looked at the handsome young man in front of him, and there was a meaningful smile on his knife-like face.
Zhang Xiaoxian nodded without hesitation, the man was stunned for his honesty at first, and then smiled dumbly.
"And then?"
"You seem to have something to do with this house, and you've been spying on us......"
After hearing this, the man laughed: "This little brother, you really have some eyesight, I am the owner of the house here, and I should say that I am the owner of most of the houses on Xiliu Street." ”
"Oh, it's you!" Zhang Yun'er, who had been standing aside and listening to them, was full of depression and finally found a place to pour out.
stepped forward and was about to question loudly, but unexpectedly, the man raised his hand to stop her, Zhang Yun'er was stunned, and for some reason when it came to her mouth, she swallowed it back raw, this man, such a powerful aura!
"What you want to say, I naturally understand, but I can't help it, I don't want to sell this house to Lord Zhang or Master Li for ......the time being," the middle-aged man said with a smile.
Zhang Yun'er's face was cold when she heard this, and she just wanted to refute him: In this case, why do you play with the Zhang family on applause.
But the man continued, "Because I have found a master for it!"
"What......? Who is he!" Zhang Yun'er was a little angry and said loudly.
The man smiled slightly, raised his hand and pointed to Zhang Xiaoxian who was standing beside her and said, "It's you, little brother!"
......
In the west of Xiliu Street, in a long pavilion near the lake, Qi Siye, commonly known as the four leaders of the Qianlong Gang, was looking at his eldest brother with a puzzled expression.
"What's the difference with that kid that makes the eldest brother treat him so well, you must know that the price of that house has now soared to four thousand taels, and I dare to guarantee that even so, the Li family will definitely ......eat it happily."
"Fourth, do you know what we are using this house to make the Zhang and Li families fight for, now that we have seen their position clearly, then this house has no point in using it," the man called the eldest brother stood in the long pavilion, facing a pool of turquoise lake, and stood with his hands in his hands.
"The reason why I sold it to the boy for a very low price was because I found that the boy had the smell of the bohemian debauchery of my youth, and, you see, no, he had a knife around his waist all the time, and there was a thick layer of calluses on the palms of his hands...... Moreover, I followed him for a long time, and found that he was very alert, and he was inherently alert and sensitive to all strange environments and strangers!"
"You mean ......"
"He's not just an ordinary teenager...... He's a murderer!"
After hearing this, Qi Si nodded suddenly: "It turns out that the eldest brother has taken a fancy to that young man and wants to win him over!"
The man in white was noncommittal, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty's situation has become more and more difficult in the past two years, and someone needs to recruit people for him and re-cultivate his power, so this young man must become our person!"
......
At ten o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Yun'er, who was full of shock and complicated feelings, had already turned back to the doctor's mansion to inform her official father that the house he was optimistic about for his son had been bought, and it only cost three hundred and fifty taels of silver.
Zhang Yun'er never imagined that the man wearing a half-worn white robe turned out to be Xiao Yungu, the leader of the well-known Qianlong Gang in Lin'an City.
It was after he offered the Zhang Mansion and the Li Mansion a sky-high price of 4,000 taels, but when he turned around and sold it to a young man who had just arrived in Lin'an, and when the young man told him very sincerely that all his belongings were only 350 taels of silver, the gang leader agreed to the deal without hesitation, and promised to send him the title deed documents tomorrow.
The two Zhang Xiaoxian brothers, who had no place to stay, also agreed happily when they proposed to live in this courtyard now.
In this way, the two brothers lived in this exquisite courtyard under Zhang Yun'er's envious and slightly embarrassed gaze.
Zhang Xiaoxian also asked the man puzzled, why me, the man in a white robe with a sword at his waist, looked at him and said with a smile: "Because, I think you are worth ......."
These words now make Zhang Xiaoxian think about it, and he is still quite happy, "That guy has a lot of eyesight!"
Just two days after arriving in the capital, they had a very good house of their own, and the two brothers were very happy, even a little excited.
This is the best place in Lin'an City, the best house, and it is indeed lucky to get it so easily.
For this reason, in the evening, Zhang Xiaoxian deliberately used the few remaining pieces of silver to buy fresh sea bass and meat that both of them loved from the market, made them carefully, and ate a beautiful meal.
Then he lay down on a makeshift couch and fell asleep.
The next day, the two woke up to the sound of flowers and birds, and soon a very real and urgent problem was placed in front of them.
All the money they have saved over the years has been spent on this house, so how should they live next?
This is a serious problem......
"I can copy books for others, or write letters for my family...... Today you prepare a table for me, prepare some rice paper, and then I will go to the street to set up a stall. Zhang Linzi said.
Zhang Xiaoxian thought for a while and shook his head and said: "Although this is okay, but we have seen all the way, there are quite a lot of shops that write and sell paintings, and the business must not be good." ”
"It's always good to earn somewhat. ”
Seeing that he was resolute, Zhang Xiaoxian nodded helplessly and said, "Okay, then I'll go hunting on the nameless mountain not far from us and come back in exchange for some silver!"
Although the two brothers knew that they might not be able to earn much money by doing this, the two of them were not the kind of arrogant people, so they should be able to barely live.
Later, when I go to Helan Temple to practice, everything may be solved.
In this way, Zhang Xiaoxian sent Zhang Linzi to a nearby street to set up a stall every day, and he brought a bow and arrows and a knife to hunt on the nameless mountain.
