Chapter 430: Searching for a House
Rong Yan also thought so, and took the people around him to an inn to live in early, so as not to be too tired with them.
"Cuizhu, you take the princess to rest at the inn, get her something to eat, and let's go out to find a good house." Zhao Yunling instructed Cuizhu before leaving.
Cuizhu was reliable, nodded and watched Zhao Yunling and the others leave.
In order not to be targeted by the locals, Rong Yan didn't even let Yue Qing follow him to avoid some unnecessary trouble.
Zhao Yunling and Rong Yan glanced at each other, and then walked out of the inn together and began to look for a place to stay.
"Rong Yan, I don't think we can find another way?" Zhao Yunling walked and walked and the ghost came up again, and turned his head to look at Rong Yan with a smile.
Rong Yan thought it was interesting, and raised his eyebrows slightly, "Oh? Let's talk about it. ”
Zhao Yunling put his hands behind his back and said, "I think it's a bit weird, this Shengma country is a bit weird, and we are newcomers from outside, so maybe we will be led by the nose, why don't we go to find another kind of person to investigate the situation of the house?" ”
Although this statement is a bit nonsensical, but there is some truth in it, at the moment they don't know the people here, and it is very likely that they will be pitted, so it is better to take a risk and try it.
Immediately, the two of them looked for a young beggar and asked, "Little friend, do you know where to buy a house?" ”
The little beggar was a little cowering at first and didn't dare to speak, Zhao Yunling thought for a while and took out some food from his bag, and when he saw that there was food, the little beggar spoke, "You are asking the right person, no one in this city knows better than me, you can come with me." ”
Rong Yan stared at the little beggar with some suspicion, he was a little unsure whether the little beggar was kind or not, but he saw that Zhao Yunling followed and walked forward.
The two of them hadn't walked a few steps before they were stopped by a man who was dressed okay, "Hey, you two, you're from outsider, right?" ”
The little beggar seemed to know the man in front of him, and shrank behind him with some fear, Zhao Yunling frowned slightly, "Are you?" ”
The man had been eyeing the two of them from the inn from the beginning, and he saw that although the two of them were dressed in simple clothes, the jewelry pinned to their waists and the jewelry they wore were all of the best color, and they were not ordinary people at first glance.
This newcomer will definitely find a place to stay, and sure enough, he saw Zhao Yunling and Rong Yan go to the little beggar to ask for directions.
"The contemptible person's name is Zhao Dacheng, I heard just now that you are looking for a house, why bother to ask a little beggar, the contemptible person is doing this business, I have a thorough understanding of the large and small houses in this Shengma City, until you are satisfied." This Zhao Dacheng has a big black mole on his face, which is very conspicuous, but it is quite down-to-earth.
Zhao Yunling suddenly felt in his heart when he heard this, it turned out to be an intermediary, and his temperament was quite similar at first glance.
There are intermediaries who can also suffer less losses, it is better than them rushing to the doctor in a hurry, and the little beggar was also sent away by a steamed bun, which can be regarded as soliciting.
Rong Yan's brows couldn't help frowning, and he looked at this Zhao Dacheng with some suspicion, somehow, he didn't have a good impression of this Zhao Dacheng, after all, they were outsiders, and they didn't know if they were deceived.
"Why should we trust you?" Rong Yan asked cautiously, worried that they would be cheated by him.
Zhao Dacheng smiled faintly, "It's reasonable for you two to have doubts, but you really don't have to worry, I'm buying and selling houses, helping people look at the house or something, and the reputation is guaranteed." ”
He thought that it was useless to just talk, so he found an acquaintance on the road, "Hey, Master Li......"
Zhao Yunling and Rong Yan turned their heads to look at him, not knowing what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.
"Two, this is Master Li, who teaches in the city, he can help me testify, my credibility in the city, I just helped him get a house last month, if you don't believe it, you can go and ask him if it is true." Zhao Dacheng patted his chest with an oath, and it didn't seem like a lie.
Then Master Li looked at the two of them happily, glanced at Zhao Dacheng lightly and said, "Zhao Dacheng is right, I did ask him to help me find a house, you are a foreigner, I will not lie to you, but this kid can speak well, don't be confused by his rhetoric." ”
Saying that, he didn't look at Zhao Dacheng's reaction and turned to leave, Zhao Dacheng frowned when he heard this, and only then did he react when he felt that something was wrong, "Hey, how can you, old man Li, talk nonsense...... I'll give you a bargain......"
Zhao Yunling observed on the side and also knew a rough idea, this Zhao Dacheng is indeed buying and selling houses, but there are many ghost ideas, and the asking price is relatively dark.
However, it is already very good for them to have someone to lead the way, Rong Yan glanced back at Zhao Yunling, and the two of them thought the same thing.
"Two, I'm really sorry, the ...... he just said" Zhao Dacheng cried and hurriedly explained to them.
Zhao Yunling hooked his lips and smiled, and waved his hand, "There is no need to explain, we already know, we are not liars, let's lead the way first." ”
Zhao Dacheng hurriedly responded, his face was happy, and he led the way in front.
Along the way, Zhao Dacheng also talked, "I don't know what kind of house the two of you want?" ”
Rong Yan replied indifferently, "The conditions don't need to be too good, just be comfortable." ”
As soon as he heard that the requirements were not high and that he was golden, the corners of Zhao Dacheng's mouth were about to hook to the other side, and he said something close while leading the way.
"Where are the two nobles? The accent doesn't seem to be like ours, but from the west. Zhao Dacheng knew a lot, and as he spoke, he began to speculate about their identities.
Rong Yan's eyes sank slightly, and after glancing at Zhao Yunling, he said, "We are ordinary businessmen passing by, looking for business opportunities, and we just happened to pass by the treasure land and wanted to take a look here." ”
"I see, but the merchant who came to us is still the first one I have met, and you have a vision." I don't know if this Zhao Dacheng has something to say, or if he said it casually, he couldn't help but raise Rong Yan's vigilance.
It didn't take long to talk and arrived at a small inn, on which the three big characters "Ruyi Inn" were written, and it didn't look like a house where ordinary people lived, Zhao Yunling stepped forward and asked, "Mr. Zhao, where is this?" Aren't you going to take us to see the house? ”
Zhao Dacheng paused when he heard the sound, turned his head and saw that the expressions of the two were wrong, so he reacted, and hurriedly explained, "You two don't know, if you want to buy land and house in our Shengma country, you must come here to pay the money and register, otherwise I won't be able to show you the house." ”
Hearing this, Rong Yan hesitated, he frowned slightly, turned his head to look at Zhao Yunling beside him, and asked softly, "Do you want to continue watching?" ”
It was the first time Zhao Yunling had heard of such a rule, so he couldn't help asking, "Why have I never heard that there is a rule for paying money first when looking at a house?" ”
Zhao Dacheng's expression was a little embarrassed, "This matter also depends on me, blame me for not making it clear, it is normal for you to be a foreigner and not know, but it does exist in our place, because our geographical location here is very poor, the land is barren, and there is not much land, in order to control the land, we have to set up this rule, so as not to lead to waste, if you can't accept it, then I am also powerless." ”
Zhao Dacheng explained very well, and the two of them also understood, and it was indeed reasonable to think about it, in such a desert environment, scarce land resources are indeed very important, and this rule is still reasonable.
Rong Yan nodded at Zhao Yunling, he agreed, and so did Zhao Yunling, "Okay, let's follow the customs of the locals and go pay the money and register first." ”
Zhao Dawei felt that the duck was about to fly away, but he didn't expect that there would be a turnaround, and his eyes lit up and immediately led the two of them inside.
After simply registering, it was time to pay the money, and there was no problem with the registration, Zhao Dacheng calculated the money and gave the two of them a relatively favorable price.
"The two of you are also temperamental, we are still fateful, I don't ask you for more, just this number." Zhao Dacheng said and stretched out his hand to compare five.
Zhao Yunling and Rong Yan both thought that it was fifty taels, although it was indeed a bit expensive, but it was not easy to find a place to settle here, so they didn't care about money.
"Okay, no problem, as long as the house you help us find is good enough, I will pay you another commission." Zhao Yunling's silver tickets and other things are quite abundant, and Zhao Yunling's yellow merchants are all over the country, and they are not afraid of lack of silver.
"It's refreshing enough, with your words, the little one will definitely help you find a first-class house." As he spoke, Zhao Dacheng stretched out his hand and motioned for Zhao Yunling to take out the money.
Zhao Yunling comprehended, she knew better about business than Rong Yan, so Rong Yan just watched from the sidelines, and Zhao Yunling negotiated the whole process.
Zhao Yunling smiled indifferently, then took out a few silver tickets from the money bag and put them on the table, "You don't have to look for the rest of the odds, give you your hard work." ”
This is the first time Zhao Yunling has been so generous, and it is good to make more friends in this place.
But who would have thought that Zhao Dacheng and the registered person's faces changed greatly, and they didn't appreciate it when they held the silver ticket, but they didn't have a good look on their faces, "I said, what do you mean by this?" Deliberately tricking me? ”
Zhao Yunling was a little stunned when he heard this, "What... What do you mean? It's a friend for your hard work. ”
After Zhao Yunling finished explaining, it had no effect, but Zhao Dacheng's face became even more ugly, "Who are you fooling?" Am I not stupid? This is my territory, and you are too arrogant! ”
Rong Yan frowned, worried that he would hurt Zhao Yunling, so he took her arm and took two steps back, "Zhao Dacheng, what do you mean?" ”
While he was talking, the steward here also came, and when he saw the noise here, he came over to see, "What are you doing?" Don't let people do business? ”
Saying that, he looked at Rong Yan and Zhao Yunling, who was also a capable person, and saw at a glance that Rong Yan and Zhao Yunling's clothes and bearing were completely unusual.
