Chapter Thirty-Eight: Buddy is here to assist
"Dr. Tea, come to three bowls of porridge and give the doll a plate of ice-soaked plum preserves."
In the tea shop at the end of the alley at Fushun Fang, Shao Qing instructed the shopkeeper.
Porridge? Yao Huan muttered in his heart, not long after breakfast, he just nibbled on a large piece of watermelon, and now he still wants to drink porridge?
How do the people of the Great Song Dynasty feel that they eat all day long.
It is not known if there are toilets in this tea shop, or if there are public restrooms in the vicinity as later historians have said...... This is watermelon and porridge, and before I can finish talking about it, I'm going to go to the east.
It wasn't until Xiao Er of the Tea Workshop, that is, the "Tea Doctor" in the mouth of the time, served food and drink in a slippery manner, Yao Huan knew that the original "tea porridge" was not tea rice, but a tea soup boiled with leaf tea and water, but it was not like the Tang Dynasty sencha with some messy ingredients, and it was not as foamy as the tea fights that the literati loved to play in this era.
Opposite the tea table, Mr. Feng Anjia, a tooth man in the rental and sales industry of Kaifeng City, took a sip of tea porridge and swept his eyes to Yao Huan quietly.
There is something unique about this woman.
He listened to Shao Qing, the gold master, talk about her, and thought it was a fierce appearance, but he didn't expect to see it today, soft and weak, blaming the Taoist Mr. Shao for his wishes, and the two of them saw that it was a tone - the face was sven, and he was decisive.
"Yao Niangzi, this Feng Sanlang Brother Feng, has been buying and selling land houses in the south of the city for seven or eight years, and this time I can rent a house in Fushunfang at a fair price, and I also have Brother Lao Feng."
Shao Qing introduced Feng Anjia to Yao Huan.
Yao Huan got up slightly and gave a blessing.
The industry of "tooth people" arose in the Northern Song Dynasty, where the commodity economy was developed and the civil society was prosperous.
The tooth people, to put it bluntly, are the brokers in commercial transactions, and the tooth people of the Song Dynasty are not essentially different from the intermediaries of later generations, they are all for the two sides of the transaction to find a home, participate in negotiations, facilitate the sale, and charge intermediary fees.
Most intermediary enterprises in modern society must hold licenses or practice qualifications issued by government regulatory authorities, such as insurance and legal services.
Similarly, in the Great Song Dynasty, if you want to be a tooth person, you also have to get permission from the government, and even the tooth card with your name written on it is also received from the government.
It's the middle of summer right now, and the men and women are wearing light-colored cool shirts, but Yao Huan saw the Feng Sanlang in front of him, dressed in a dark purple straight jacket, with a dark cyan round neckline and edges, and the style and color matching are not very harmonious, but it is eye-catching and easy to recognize, it should be the uniform of the tooth man.
Looking at his face again, although his eyebrows are neat, his skin and flesh are rough and wrinkled, showing the vicissitudes of life, as if he has grown a nail on his face.
Only the two eyes are as bright as ink and lacquer balls, revealing vigorous energy and keen observation, and it seems that they are indeed only four or five years older than Shao Qing.
Feng Sanlang greeted: "Mr. Shao has won the award, and Mr. is also the most amiable and straightforward guest I have ever seen in the transaction." Yao Niangzi has something to ask, but she just said it. ”
Yao Huan thought about it, came out to deal with it, the suspect didn't ask, the question didn't doubt the person, since this real estate agent was recommended by Shao Qing, they all sat down to talk, so let's talk about it.
So she picked up a few honey-stained plums for her younger brother Xiao Ruzhou, who was sitting next to her, and said, "It's also your family property, you listen", and then she was forced out of the Zeng Mansion to marry Zengfu, committed suicide in exchange for a free body, and her stepmother secretly sold Yao's house.
Feng Sanlang frowned and listened, thought for a moment, and said, "Mrs. Yao, let me take a look." The lady and Lang Jun, who used to be in Qinzhou, did not have a marriage certificate. The marriage with Zeng Shuxiang's family was also abolished in public and private. Zeng Shuxiang's eldest man recognizes you as a righteous daughter, but it is not like returning to the family tree. In this way, you are actually the maiden of the Yao family. ”
When he said this, he paused, and with a slight hesitation, he looked at Shao Qing.
Shao Qingdao: "Brother Feng remembered what to ask, but it didn't matter, Mrs. Yao is a reasonable person, come with me today, and sincerely ask Brother Feng for advice." ”
Shao Qing specially bit the word "follow me" a little heavier, and his eyes were cast at Yao Huan between his words, which seemed to have the color of indescribable encouragement or other deep meanings.
Yao Huan said that he was thirsty before, and he was sipping tea porridge, and secretly sighed Mom, this porridge is the tea that we modern people are used to.
She had just opened halfway through the barrage, and when she raised her eyes, she met Shao Qing's gaze and was startled.
Shao Langzhong, who is always as polite as a Japanese friend and has "I have a good quality" written on his head, suddenly showed a trace of fox-like cunning in his eyes.
Even, hey, it's a little burning.
Feng Sanlang glanced at the two of them, and three points of goodwill floated in his heart.
Mr. Shao, why do you have to dodge, do you pity and help this Yao lady, or secretly have affection, this little lady may be ignorant, a man like me who is a few years older than you, will not understand?
He couldn't help but think of the experience he had put a lot of thought into when he pursued his wife a few years ago, and the light in his eyes was naturally much softer.
Feng Sanlang then turned to Yao Huan again, suppressed his voice, and said in a tone of voice: "I don't know if the stepfamily, after Ling Zunxian went, was witnessed by the neighbors, reported to the government, and determined to observe the festival?" ”
Before Yao Huan could answer, Xiao Ruzhou beside her interjected: "No, when my mother was in winter, she told me to find me a new grandfather, but I don't want it." Then I bit the man again, and my mom beat me so hard that my ass bloomed. I know what it means to keep a festival, and to keep a festival is not to marry another man, like my sister. ”
Ru Zhou still had half a candied fruit stuffed in his mouth, but he spoke categorically and coherently, not at all like it came out of the mouth of a five or six-year-old baby.
Especially when it came to the last half of the sentence, he stared at Shao Qing as if he was nothing.
Shao Qing replied with approval: "Among the children taught, there are really not many children who can talk eloquently at such an age." You're a student, and you're done. ”
Yao Ruzhou was stunned, as if choking on candied fruit.
Shao Langzhong, who brought his sister to see the tooth, really can't say what he hates.
Anyway, it's just a nod to it everywhere anyway.
Feng Sanlang, after listening to the testimony of the Yao family's doll, let out an "oh", and continued his expert explanation: "According to the law, if a widow observes the festival, she can take over all the property of her husband's family, but she must leave a share for the maid who is not born to her. In other words, even if she has gone to the government to report the title of 'virgin', she wants to sell the ancestral property of the Yao family, and she can't do it without the consent of your Yao lady. What's more, she has never been determined to keep the festival. How high the price of an ancestral house in Kaifeng City, our tooth people, Ping Suli said that the transaction is the most cautious, and will never just look at the deed, and not to visit the owner of the house. Besides, Yao Niangzi's righteous act of touching the pillar of the Bianhe River that day was so loud in the market, how could the neighbors not know ......"
Shao Qing took over and said, "Brother Feng said carefully. Brother Tai, we don't say dark words, saying that the tooth man who sold in Yao's house is a man who got along with the Yao family's stepfamily and ran away. Now that both of them have fled, the next family who bought Yao's house has gained a lot of money, and he will flatly deny collusion. So, according to Brother Feng, is there any other way for Mrs. Yao and her younger brother to seek justice? ”
Feng Saburo knew that his play today was finally over.
A tooth man whose acting skills don't play the whole game is not a good assist.
He raised his eyebrows, made more and more thoughtful and embarrassed looks, pondered for a while, and said: "Mr. Shao, Mrs. Yao, when the deed was signed and the house property was delivered, the tooth guard signed, and the tooth shop had to recognize the business he did." Now that the tooth man has run away, the tooth line can't run, and the bitter master should go to the tooth shop to make trouble instead of going to Kaifeng Mansion to make trouble...... The head of the line and the vice president, I am most afraid that the reputation of our tooth people will be ruined......"
When he said this, he got up and arched his hand: "Today, I have said all I have to say here, and I have made an appointment to buy and sell together at noon, and I have to rush over at this moment, and the two of you will forgive me." ”
Shao Qing also stood up, and said with a pleasant expression: "Thank you, Brother Feng, Brother Feng's meaning is already clear below." ”
Feng Sanlang's lips slid a hint of "Good luck with you, brother Xian", and then he waved at Yao Niangzi, who seemed to be still thinking about the meaning of his words, and turned around and exited the teahouse.
