"This is it." Zhang Heng turned to his teeth and said, "How much does the rent cost?" ”

"The rent is not high, only two dollars a month." The tooth man scratched his head, and stopped talking.

Zhang Heng was patrolling the house with a lantern, not paying much attention to the expression of the tooth man behind him, and continued, "Then when can the contract be signed?" It's a little late today, uh, but I've got something to do tomorrow morning, and what about early in the morning, can he come over early in the morning? ”

"No, no, no, don't bother, the owner is next door, if you make up your mind, I can call her over now."

"Is it so close?" Zhang Heng was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, this is also normal, obviously the family's mansion is relatively large, and it is normal to rent out a part to make money, speaking of which, the wall on his left does look like it is newly built, he didn't think much about it, nodded and said, "I'm tired." ”

The tooth man was very nimble, and after a while, he came over with the landlord next door.

Before the two of them arrived at the door, the voice came out first, and they only listened to Yadao, "Don't say that I didn't help you, I found you a generous tenant, and I didn't frown when I heard the rent of two yuan, you must not drive people away again this time, otherwise who will dare to rent your room in this area in the future." ”

Another voice snorted coldly, "What kind of tenant did you introduce to me, the last time that guy saw my face, he was fussful, I just taught him a little lesson, it's already for your sake." ”

The tooth man rolled his eyes when he heard this, "That's how the man is, that guy just wants to take advantage of it after drinking too much, there's no need to make such a fuss." ”

"How is this a big fuss, it's angry to talk about, today in the market I also bumped into three samurai of the Choshu Domain, pulling out swords in the street, trying to bully two children, the hateful thing is that so many men present didn't want to stop ...... at all"

Zhang Heng felt that this voice was a little familiar before, and when he heard the other party talk about what happened in the market before, he immediately confirmed the identity of the person who spoke.

The person who came was none other than the female warrior named Akane Koyama who had been defeated by Yamada with a wooden knife.

Zhang Heng didn't expect the two to meet again not long after they separated, and he happened to rent each other's house.

While speaking, the two had already walked into the courtyard, and Zhang Heng had lost the only chance to leave directly.

The moment they looked at each other, even the air became a little awkward.

…………

"Is that you?" Xiao Shan Qian raised her eyebrows, and just wanted to say something, but then she seemed to think of something again, and swallowed back the words that came to her mouth.

And the tooth man on the other side was still proudly asking for credit, "What's the matter, as soon as I see this adult, I know that he is the one who wants to do great things, in case he becomes famous in the future, your small courtyard may also be famous in history." ”

"It's up to him, let's find clean clothes to wear first." Xiao Shanqian said angrily, to be honest, Zhang Heng's current down-and-out ronin dress is a bit far from the rich patron in the tooth mouth, and Xiao Shanqian even doubts whether the other party is able to pay the rent.

Zhang Heng could understand Xiao Shanqian's worries, but what he didn't expect was that the latter didn't mention the rent after that, but just said with a straight face, "Since you want to live with me in the future, you must abide by my rules here, first of all, you are not allowed to destroy every grass and tree here, secondly, you are not allowed to drink alcohol, you are drunk, you want to drink flower wine, you can go to the place where you want to drink flower wine, and finally, the most important thing is not to rely on your martial arts to do evil and bully the people in the neighborhood like the three Changzhou Domain samurai today," she paused when she said this," Well, forget the last one, you shouldn't have any martial arts, otherwise you wouldn't have stood still at that time. ”

“…………”

Zhang Heng was speechless.

"If it's okay, let's go into the house and sign the contract." Akane Koyama urged.

Zhang Heng thought about it a little, there is no problem with what Xiao Shanqian said, it is very reasonable, although the guests before listening to the words of the tooth man were beaten and driven away, but it seems that his own problem is greater, he has been shopping for a long time, and he has seen a few houses, but he is not so satisfied, and he may not be able to find a better one if he looks for it, so he simply lives here.

So Zhang Heng then signed a lease contract with Xiao Shanqian very happily, he had already exchanged the small judgment for bean board silver and copper coins, and immediately paid the Yaren's commission and this month's rent after signing the contract.

Xiao Shanqian, the owner, seemed a little surprised to see him take out the money.

Zhang Heng explained, "I really didn't have much money on me at that time, and I earned this money later. ”

"You earned it?" Xiao Shan Akane looked skeptical, "Is Kyoto so easy to make money now, and you can make such a lot of money in a while." ”

"To be honest, I've actually traveled to Western countries and know their languages well, so I just got a job as a translator."

"You still know the language of the Westerners, well, your Japanese is a little strange, is it because you have been in the Western countries for too long?" Xiao Shanqian suddenly, even with Zhang Heng's expression a lot better, this year is willing to leave home and travel thousands of miles away to Western countries is a very courageous thing, and the vast majority of people who go abroad have the idea of finding a way out for their country.

This made Xiao Shanqian couldn't help but look at Zhang Heng a few points, she thought about it and said, "I live in the dojo next door, if you want to practice the sword, you can go there to find me." ”

Zhang Heng thanked him politely, the matter of the house was over, Xiao Shanqian and Yaren left together, Zhang Heng didn't have time to buy any ingredients, so he couldn't make a fire to cook, so he could only go to the Siwen House on the side of the road to buy some snacks and make do with it.

After that, he went back to his small courtyard, washed up briefly, lay down on the stacks, listened to the sound of the wind outside shaking the branches, and spent his first night in the Edo period.

Since he accepted a small sentence from Gabriel, Zhang Heng still decided to take a little responsibility, and rushed to the teahouse between the docks early the next morning, but Gabriel himself slept lazily, and arrived almost at noon, and he seemed relieved to see Zhang Heng come as promised.

In fact, he muttered a little in his heart last night, I don't know if the ronin in front of him will take the money and run away, after all, there were even some people in Japan who specialized in assassinating Westerners earlier, wanting to use such naïve and ridiculous means to protect their families and defend the country, but fortunately, this kind of thing has been much less in recent years.

Gabriel squeezed a smile on his face and said, "Our event today is very relaxed, first go to taste Kyoto food, and then go to see a sumo wrestling, and then the local businessmen will hold a banquet for us, and then I can go by myself, your day's work is over, how about it, this money is very profitable, right?" ”

Zhang Heng was noncommittal when he heard this, he knew that Gabriel must have a plan to choose to act alone, and there was a high probability that his activities today were just to cover people's eyes, but Zhang Heng did not break it, just like Gabriel said, at least today's money is still very profitable.
