Gu Jiao glanced at Xiao Liulang.

Xiao Liulang's face did not change and said, "I heard what the dean of our academy said. ”

Gu Jiao said to Zhang Bao: "The dean of my father-in-law has lived in the capital for more than ten years. ”

Zhang Baoren suddenly realized: "Ah, I see. ”

Gu Jiao said: "Are there any houses on these two streets?" ”

"Ah, there is a ......" Zhang Baoren looked at the two of them, both of them were dressed very plainly, although one was a prisoner of the country, he was lame; The other has an extraordinary temperament, but his face is disabled.

These two ...... Don't have a lot of money, do you?

Zhang Baoren smiled: "Do you want to enter the house with one or two?" ”

Gu Jiao thought for a while and said, "We need at least five rooms. ”

"That's going to have to be two or three." Zhang Baoren said with a smile, "The houses of the second and third are not cheap, at least ten taels in the second in January, and twenty taels in the third one." ”

Ten taels is enough for a large family to eat in the countryside for a year or two.

However, this is the capital where every inch of land is valuable, and Gu Jiao is relieved to think about it.

Gu Jiao offered to take a look.

Zhang Baoren doesn't look like the two of them are out of that silver, worried that they will run in vain, although the other party is the prisoner of the Guozijian, but is there a shortage of prisoners in the capital? The capital is a realm where a plaque can kill three officials, and Zhang Baoren really didn't take Xiao Liulang too seriously.

It's just that he hasn't opened for a few days, and he is idle, so he simply took the two of them there.

Gu Jiao and Xiao Liulang looked at more than a dozen houses, some of them were two and some of them were three, and they were not very satisfied.

The two returned to the station.

Zhang Baoren followed: "Do you two want to make a decision today?" No matter how late it is, the students who went back to Beijing to take the exam from all over the country arrived, and they couldn't rent it, and it wasn't at this price. ”

Gu Jiao said: "It's too small, and it's too biased." ”

It's talking about the vicinity of Guozijian, but it's not actually a house on two streets, but in the most remote alley at the end of the street, not to mention dark and damp, and they are all next to very noisy shops, either iron shops or carpenter shops, and even a coffin shop.

How can people read with peace of mind?

"At this price, there are only these houses, if you want a better one, then you have to pay this number." Zhang Baoren gestured.

"Thirty taels?" Gu Jiao asked.

"The house I entered." Zhang Baoren said.

The first entry is thirty taels, not to mention the second entry and the third entry, it seems that the school district house of any dynasty is very expensive.

"Ugh." Zhang Baoren sighed, "Okay, I'll give you a bottom directly, the house in the capital has to be at this price, and the good location and good house have already been bought by the nobles in the capital." Those nobles are not bad for money and will not rent out their houses! Even if you change a hundred guarantors, you can only rent those houses in Fangcai! ”

Gu Jiao asked, "Didn't you say that there is a good house, but the price is higher?" ”

Zhang Baoren said with a smile: "There is a three-entry house, one hundred taels a month." ”

Gu Jiao frowned: "What house costs a hundred taels?" ”

Zhang Baoren gestured: "Diagonally opposite Guozijian, walk five hundred steps!" The house where the former little marquis of Zhaodu and the young man lived in the wine! ”

The corners of Xiao Liulang's mouth twitched: "When did he live?"

Zhang Baoren patted the table and said, "It's just that I have lived!" You can live in it and be happy, and you will pass every exam! ”

Xiao Liulang said lightly: "He hasn't lived." ”

Zhang Baoren rolled up his sleeves: "How do you know that he hasn't lived?" You're not him! ”

"The price is high, thirty taels at most." Xiao Liulang said lightly.

Of course, Zhang Baoren understands that his price is high, and he can indeed sell thirty taels in the past, but isn't this Guozijian going to reopen school? The location is expensive again.

The guaranteed price in his heart is fifty taels, if the family refuses, he will go to someone else, he doesn't believe that the school district house near Guozijian will not be able to be rented?

"Jiaojiao, what are you guys in?" Xiao Jingkong woke up from a nap, rubbed his eyes and came to the lobby of the post station to find Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao hugged him over and rubbed his little head, his hair grew out a little, not a small bald head, but a small inch head.

"We're looking at where we're staying." Gu Jiao said, "Have you slept well?" ”

"Sleep well, where are we going to stay?" Xiao Jingkong leaned on Gu Jiao's arms, enjoying her touching her little head.

"I don't know yet." Gu Jiao shook her head.

Xiao Jingkong looked at the drawings on the table again and asked, "What are these?" ”

Zhang Baoren smiled: "It's the deed." ”

Fearing that the child would break his things, he reached for the deed to collect it.

Xiao Jingkong sighed and said, "I also have this." ”

The three of them were stunned.

Xiao Qingkong ran back to the carriage, took a small box from his small cage, took the small box back to the lobby, and placed it on the wooden table in front of the three of them.

The table was a little high, and he couldn't open it if he put it up.

"I'll come." Gu Jiao reached out.

Gu Jiao had seen a few of these small boxes when she was packing up her things at home, but she hadn't opened them.

"Hmmm! Jiaojiao is coming! The little clearance nodded decisively.

Gu Jiao opened the small box, and there were several thumb-sized seals and several documents inside, but they were not ordinary documents, but house deeds!

All three were surprised.

"I'll see." Xiao Liulang said.

"Hmm." Gu Jiao took out the deed and handed it to Xiao Liulang.

Zhang Baoren also came over to take a look.

Don't look at it, don't worry, and look at it, I almost didn't get scared of him.

The houses on Chang'an Avenue, the houses on Xuanwu Street, and even the houses on Suzaku Street!

Is this a sting to the palace?!

"Is it a real deed?" Gu Jiao asked Xiao Liulang.

"It's true." Xiao Liulang said, "The name of the clearance is written on the deed, and it is his deed that is correct." ”

Gu Jiao looked at the little clear space in her arms: "How can you have these?" ”

Xiao Jingkong looked at the deed in Xiao Liulang's hand, and said with his fingers: "Did Jiaojiao say these papers?" Master gave it to me, he gave me one every year on my birthday, and I have had a total of three birthdays, so it's three! ”

Gu Jiao: "......"

Xiao Liulang: "......"

Zhang Baoren: "......"

Gu Jiao suddenly couldn't look directly at the large box of small tatters in the small clearance......

The lot of the three houses is better than the other, and Zhang Baoren is still boasting that the house with a rent of one hundred taels is diagonally opposite Guozijian, and it is 500 steps on foot, but it is actually more than 1,000 steps.

The house given to him by Xiao Jingkong's master is much closer to Guozijian, and when he comes out of the alley, he turns a corner and is Guozijian.

Zhang Baoren lived for more than 30 years, and looked back for the first time, dressed in rustic style, and sold three big mansions, not to mention how difficult the houses on Zhuque Street are to buy for the time being, where they live almost the relatives of the emperor and the country, and the two houses on Xuanwu Street and Chang'an Avenue also belong to the market and priceless.

Where did this gang come from?

Xiao Jingkong didn't understand what the deed was, Gu Jiao explained to him that it was a very precious thing, a proof that he had a home.

He decisively put all the deeds in front of Gu Jiao: "Give them all to Jiaojiao!" ”

A delicate place is a small empty home!

Gu Jiao had already received a piano from him, and could no longer collect his deed, and in the end, Gu Jiao offered to rent a small empty house at a rent of thirty taels of silver per month.

Xiao Jingkong said seriously: "Don't give money Jiaojiao!" ”

Gu Jiao touched his little head and said, "Your brother-in-law will give it." ”

Xiao Jingkong thought about it seriously, brother-in-law gave it to me, I gave it to Jiaojiao, there was nothing wrong with it!

The two parties asked Zhang Baoren to act as a guarantor and signed a house lease contract.

This is Xiao Jingkong's first time doing business, and he takes this matter very seriously, not only signing but also drawing a pledge.

The premium is 30% of the first month's rent, that is, nine taels of silver, which is guaranteed for life, and he also needs to come to the site to terminate the contract after the lease is over.

"Half of the premium is paid by one person." Zhang Baoren said with a smile.

"Do you have any silver?" Xiao Liulang looked at Xiao Qingkong for a long time.

The little clear space is in trouble, he has no silver, this is really a sad story than sadness!

But soon, he came up with a solution: "Deduct it from your first month's rent!" ”

Xiao Liulang is angry and funny, and the little monk is quite business-minded.

It is a two-entry house, the door is a front yard, the yard is planted with some bamboo, the first row has two side rooms, a study, a stove house, walk through the hall is the backyard, the backyard is planted with a laurel tree, behind the laurel tree is three wings.

A few people are still the same as in the village, Xiao Qingkong is in a room with Xiao Liulang, and the rest are in a room with each person.

The house is not very big, but the light is excellent.

The most important thing is that it is not only close to Guozijian, but also close to several private schools, which undoubtedly solves the problem of Gu Yan and several people going to school.

When they heard that they were going to school, Gu Yan and Gu Xiaoshun were a little dumbfounded.

"No, didn't you drop out?" The two asked in unison.

Gu Jiao opened a suitcase and said, "I have retired in the county seat, but after coming to the capital, I will naturally continue to go on, you are still young, what are you doing if you don't go to school?" ”

The faces of the two were like ashes: happy all the way, were they happy in vain? Also, what do you mean we're still young? You don't seem to be big!

The furniture in the house is complete, but there is a lot of dust left behind for a long time, and a few people have simply cleaned up a few rooms, live in them first, and then slowly clean up the courtyard and stove house, and buy pots and pans tomorrow when it dawns.

For dinner, I bought the buns from outside, and I dealt with the pickles that Gu Jiao brought over.

The capital is colder than the county seat, and Gu Jiao has already felt the chill of the winter moon on the night of October.

It's not like the countryside, you can go to the mountains to cut firewood, and you have to go to the market to buy firewood and charcoal.

Everyone was tired from the bumps along the way, so they went back to their respective rooms and fell asleep.

Xiao Liulang's side, Xiao Qingkong was lying on his back, making an even small snoring sound.

Xiao Liulang didn't feel sleepy.

He's finally back here.

"Ah Heng, Mr. Zhuang's class is too difficult, shall we go out and have fun?"

"Ah Heng, this little rabbit is injured, shall we take it home?"

"Ah Heng, I want to eat dates, can you go to the tree and help me pick them?"

"Ah Heng, can you go buy me osmanthus cake?"

……

"Ah Heng, will you die for me?"
