Fu Xiaojiu slept for a while, and forgot about offending Zhou Qiaolan.

Today, she mainly went to the county seat to inquire about the specific housing prices in the county, and then looked at the market of medical clinics and pharmacies.

The two of them got up early in the morning, hired an ox cart and left.

When they arrived at the county seat, the two first inquired about the residence of Feng Zhen's family, because Feng Zhen had asked someone to tell Wan Pozi that they lived on that street, and Wan Pozi would know after a little inquiry.

The yard that Feng Zhen's family bought was just one street away from Li Dalong's house, and it was a courtyard with one entry and one exit.

Licorice is still young, and if you add a younger brother or sister in the future, it will be too late to buy a big yard when the family can't live in it.

The courtyard is also very spacious, with a total of six rooms, four of which can be used as living rooms, and a stove room and a lower room.

Coupled with the furniture left by the original owner, it cost a total of seventy taels of silver, which is really low.

Fu Xiaojiu and Wan Pozi came this time just to recognize the door, but they didn't come empty-handed and bought some seasonal melons and fruits.

Feng Zhen opened the door and saw their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, who were very happy, and hurriedly called Wang and Zhao.

Feng Zhongjun had already gone to Li Dalong's to do things, and Licorice had also gone to the school, and as soon as the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law entered the courtyard, they felt that the house was extraordinarily bright.

Wan Pozi looked east and west, and said enviously: "Uncle, aunt, your house is really good!" Look at this compound, look at this blue tile house, how magnificent and beautiful! ”

Feng Zhen hurriedly said modestly: "It's not all thanks to your third daughter-in-law!" If it weren't for her, Zhongjun might not have been able to shoot the big insect with one arrow, and he might not have been able to hit the teacup on He Huzi's head with one arrow, let alone sell the big insect for such a high price, and we wouldn't have moved to the city to live! ”

Wang and Zhao also said yes on the side.

Wan Pozi was naturally proud, but she didn't put gold on her face and brag about Fu Xiaojiu, but cared about Feng Zhongjun.

"What kind of errand is Brother Zhongjun doing under Master Li? Is this an easy errand for him? Did anyone bully him, the newcomer? ”

Speaking of Feng Zhongjun's errand, Feng Zhen's expression was a little complicated.

"Zhongjun's errand is to patrol the streets every day to see if there is any trouble, if there is no failure to pay the protection fee on time, anyway, it is such an errand. Every month, Master Li gave him five taels of silver a month. ”

Wan Pozi's eyes widened when she heard this, "Five taels of silver a month?" That's a lot! ”

Fu Xiaojiu also took over, "Uncle Zhongjun's errand is similar to what I thought, such an errand is okay, he is a loyal person, he must not bully anyone, if he sees someone being bullied, he can still help." ”

Zhao also said affirmatively at this time: "Yes, my brother Jun is such a person. But I'm worried that Master Li will let him do other errands in the future. I also inquired when I went to the street, this old man Li seems to have relatives who are officials in the court, and the official position seems to be not small, but I didn't find out what the official is. ”

Fu Xiaojiu looked at Zhao seriously and reminded her: "Little aunt really has a heart. But let's just know a little bit about this, don't inquire about it anymore, it won't be good if it reaches Master Li's ears. ”

Zhao immediately responded: "Yes, I won't inquire in the future." It's just that so much money and such good things fall on our family, and we are always a little uneasy. ”

Wan Pozi said with empathy: "You feel the same as when I just knew that my family's third child was cured and Xiao Jiu knew how to heal, and I always felt that such a good thing could happen to our family." But I'm at ease now, because I don't think my family has any bad intentions, I haven't hurt anyone, and I have accumulated virtue on weekdays, so I can have such a good thing in my family. ”

Feng Zhen took Wan Pozi's words and said, "I also think it's reasonable for you to say that." I asked myself that after selling herbs for so many years, I have never adulterated them, and I have never been shoddy, maybe this is God's reward for our family's duty. ”

A few people chatted for a while, and Wan Pozi and Fu Xiaojiu were busy with other things, saying that next time they would bring the whole family to officially congratulate Feng Zhen's family on their housewarming.

After leaving Feng Zhen's house, Fu Xiaojiu had some ideas about the housing prices in the county.

There are many Wan families, although Wan Feizhi will marry in the future, but the courtyard is also smaller.

No matter how Wan Lin is, he has not studied in the county all his life, and if he does well in the exam, he will have to move after living in the county for three years at most.

Fu Xiaojiu thought for a while, and said to Mrs. Wan: "Mother, I originally thought that Xianggong would go to the county to study after winning Xiucai, and our family would all move to the county seat, and we would also buy a big house to settle down in the county seat." But if Xianggong wins the promotion after three years, we will have to sell it if we buy a house. It's better for us to rent a house, I don't think the rent can be much, and we can move here soon. ”

"You have such a plan?" Only then did Mrs. Wan know Fu Xiaojiu's thoughts.

Fu Xiaojiu said apologetically: "I've been busy all these days, and I forgot to discuss this matter with my mother." Mother, you don't blame me for discussing with you, do you? ”

Wan Pozi waved her hand, "How can I blame you?" I just didn't expect you to think that far. So let's go and inquire about how much it costs to rent a house now, shall we? ”

Fu Xiaojiu smiled, "We still have to ask how much it costs to rent a shop." After we move to the county seat, I will open a decent medical center. ”

Fu Xiaojiu's image in the eyes of Wan Pozi was instantly much taller than before.

Wan Pozi excitedly took Fu Xiaojiu's hand, "Okay, okay, let's go, let's go to the Chinese people to inquire about the price!" ”

The intermediaries in the Chen Dynasty were all called Zhongren, and there were two such housing intermediaries in the market for the rich and two in the market for the poor.

Fu Xiaojiu summed it up, and went to the intermediary in the rich market to ask.

As soon as the two of them entered the house, the shopkeeper saw that the two of them were plainly dressed peasant women, and his attitude was not very enthusiastic.

Fu Xiaojiu didn't care about his attitude, and asked directly: "May I ask the eldest brother, is there a more spacious house for rent?" Preferably a more secluded place. ”

The shopkeeper looked at her and replied lazily: "There are quite a few of the kind of houses you mentioned, but the rent is also quite a lot." It's not that I don't speak well, if the guy takes you on a few trips, and you fall in love with the yard, but the silver in your hand is not enough, then the guy will be tossing in vain. ”

Wan Pozi became angry when she heard this, Fu Xiaojiu stopped her behind her, and hurriedly said: "You take someone to look at the house, if people don't like it, you can't let you run errands in vain, right?" ”

The shopkeeper stretched out three fingers, "If you don't like it, you have to give thirty yuan to the guy who showed you the house." ”

The shopkeeper's implication is that if you feel sorry for the thirty yuan, you should leave quickly.

Fu Xiaojiu said without distress: "Okay, this price is reasonable." Then let's take us to see the house. ”

The shopkeeper didn't expect Fu Xiaojiu to agree so happily, and immediately stood up, but he still reminded Fu Xiaojiu first, "Generally, the rent of a courtyard with one entry and one exit is fifteen taels of silver per year, the rent of a courtyard with two entrances and two exits is thirty taels per year, and the rent of three in and three out is fifty taels." How many yards do you have to go in and out of? ”

Fu Xiaojiu thought for a while and said, "Just two in and two out of the yard." ”

The shopkeeper was shocked again.

He also thought that Fu Xiaojiu would be able to rent a yard with one entry and one exit, or ask if there was a smaller yard.

After all, they are buying and selling and renting good houses and yards.

Wan Pozi didn't expect Fu Xiaojiu to want such a big yard, so she was busy asking in her ear: "Xiao Jiu, why do you want to rent such a big yard?" Do we use it? ”

Fu Xiaojiu patiently explained: "The courtyard with two entrances and two exits is quiet enough, and if someone comes to see a doctor, it can't disturb Wanlin's study." Although the villagers who came to us to see a doctor at our house before also knew to keep quiet, it must be better than the next yard to be quiet. ”

Wan Pozi suddenly remembered one thing, "If the third child wins the lift, he can only go to the examination and the palace examination the next year, and if he fails the examination the next year, he will have to take the exam again." Let's sell a small yard, it doesn't need to be too big, one in and one out is enough. ”

Fu Xiaojiu thought about it and felt that what Wan Pozi said was also reasonable.

"May I ask the eldest brother, if you want to sell a quiet place, a yard that you can enter and exit, how much silver can you live in if you move in?"

After Fu Xiaojiu asked, the shopkeeper opened his mouth and replied: "According to the request you said, at least eighty taels of silver." ”

Fu Xiaojiu asked again: "What about the courtyard with two in and two out?" ”

The shopkeeper replied, "The courtyard with two entrances and two exits is expensive." This is not as much as renting a yard, that is, twice the price of one entry and one exit. If you sell it, you will get at least one hundred and seventy or eighty taels of silver. ”

After the guy finished quoting the price, Wan Pozi gasped.

Fu Xiaojiu also felt that the price was quite expensive.

"Then I'd better trouble you to let the guy take us to see this kind of yard separately."

Regardless of whether you rent or buy, you have to get the real thing first.

The shopkeeper saw that Fu Xiaojiu didn't come to inquire about the price, so he stopped grinding and asked the guy to lead the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to see the house.

The houses near this market are all good, all of them have high courtyard walls, magnificent gates, according to Fu Xiaojiu's requirements, the guy first took them to see a house not far from the market, one in and one out.

Although it is a house with one entry and one exit, the yard and house are more spacious than Feng Zhongjun's house, and it doesn't look shabby, and the furniture is good, Fu Xiaojiu feels that this house must not be cheap.

Sure enough, the man told her that the house would cost at least eighty-five pieces of silver.

Mrs. Wan also felt that this house was very bright, and it was really much stronger than her own mud tile house.

It's just that the price of the house made Wan Pozi retreat.

Fu Xiaojiu looked at the surrounding environment again, although this house is not far from the market, but it is not next to the market, the county school is next street, and the houses in the neighborhood are also good.

The guy also introduced to her that the neighbors around her are all well-informed people, there is no noise, and it is absolutely comfortable to live here.

Fu Xiaojiu nodded, "I also think it's good, but please take me to see other mansions again." ”

The man didn't hesitate, "Okay, I'll take you to see the house again." The house is not bad, next door lives the most powerful Langzhong in the town, if anyone in your family has a headache and brain fever, it is convenient to see a disease. ”
