Zhou Qiaolan also said: "Yes, brother-in-law, anyway, this house was rented by you, and if you rent them another room, it will be regarded as a charity, and we can still earn their silver, don't we kill two birds with one stone?" ”

An Yushu looked at the two of them and sneered, "Heh, then who do you say I rented that room to?" ”

Wan Kai was at least cousin to Wan Zhang, so he said without thinking: "Just rent it to my cousin." ”

Wan Zhang has never concealed his dislike for An Yushu, and An Yushu naturally looks down on him.

An Yushu glanced at Wan Kai arrogantly, and asked defiantly, "I want to rent that room to Wan Lin." ”

Wan Kai rubbed An Yushu's carriage all the way, and he was a little short-handed, and he didn't dare to raise any objections to what An Yushu said.

But when he heard that An Yushu had the intention of renting the house to Wan Lin but not to Wan Zhang, Wan Kai felt somewhat uncomfortable in his heart.

"Brother-in-law......" Wan Kai also wanted to help Wan Zhang talk.

An Yushu said at this time: "Hehe, do you think even if I say it, which of the two of them can come and rent a yard with us?" I just want to be quiet, not afraid of waste! Okay, let's go sign the lease first, and then go back to the inn to pick up our luggage. ”

After An Yushu finished speaking, he strode out.

Wan Kai immediately covered his heart, he felt that his heart was dripping blood.

It doesn't matter who the rest of the house is rented to, as long as someone rents it, he can save some silver, but An Yushu is dead now, and he has no hope.

Wan Kai's face was not very good-looking, Zhou Qiaolan hurriedly pulled Zhou Bingshuang over, and said dissatisfiedly: "Do you have money to burn bags?" How can you do this in a hurry? Although your mother-in-law's family has some family background, she can't be so corrupt! ”

Zhou Bingshuang said helplessly: "Sister, you can't say anything to me." Yushu is stubborn, and I can't say anything about what he decides. ”

Zhou Qiaolan sighed helplessly, "Alas, look at who the two of us are married?" It's just that Wan Zhang and Wan Lin are both daughters-in-law, you look at Fu Xiaojiu's virtue just now, she seems to be the head of the family! ”

Just as Wan Lin was obedient to Fu Xiaojiu's words just now, Zhou Bingshuang could also see that Wan Lin was really good to Fu Xiaojiu, and a wave of jealousy suddenly rose in his heart.

After Fu Xiaojiu and the others walked away, Fu Xiaojiu said to the guy in the tooth shop: "I deliberately raised the price with him just now, can you see it?" ”

The guy said wittily: "I see it, I see it!" ”

Fu Xiaojiu looked at the guy with bright eyes and asked, "You two tooth shops are both shopkeepers, right?" ”

The guy immediately showed a look of surprise in his eyes, and hurriedly asked, "How do you know?" ”

Fu Xiaojiu hooked the corners of his mouth slightly, "Although many houses are shared between various dental banks, but this house is too remote, not to mention, it is indeed not rented out often, I guess it is also because it is too biased and too broken, and no one is usually willing to rent here." The façade of your house is so big, and the housing must be the most complete, and it is not unusual to have such a house.

But other dental shops have come to show guests such a remote house, and they have already rented a house with a better rent for guests. I guess eighty percent of this house is not someone else's, it may be in the name of your shopkeeper. ”

Fu Xiaojiu's words convinced the guy, and the guy said admiringly: "This little lady is really not simple!" You can see it! ”

Fu Xiaojiu smiled modestly, "Since I let you earn so much more commission, should you help us find a more suitable house for us?" ”

The guy replied cheerfully, "It's natural!" To tell you the truth, if the guys of our two families meet with guests, sometimes they also use this trick to earn more commissions. Don't worry, I'm sure I'll find you a quiet place that isn't too remote, and the rent is reasonable! ”

Fu Xiaojiu nodded with satisfaction, "Then thank you!" ”

After Wan Lin and Wan Zhang listened to the conversation between Fu Xiaojiu and his buddy, they were stunned, they didn't expect Fu Xiaojiu to come to such a hand.

The man took them to see the next house.

This is a mansion that looks several times better than the one just now.

This house is not far from the market, but you can't hear the noise, the courtyard is neat, and there are two main rooms on both sides of a hall, and there is an ear room next to each of the two main houses, which makes people feel bright when they look at it.

The guy asked, "How about the three of you look at this house?" ”

Fu Xiaojiu looked around and said, "This house is really good, but the rent can't be less, right?" ”

The guy smiled a little embarrassedly, "The rent of this house is indeed not cheap, it costs thirty-five taels." ”

"It's so expensive!" Fu Xiaojiu sighed.

The man continued: "Originally, this house has been rented out, and the scholar has even paid the deposit. But in the morning, he suddenly got the news of his mother's death, and he couldn't take the test, so he hurried back to his hometown. ”

"Then we're just in time. It's just that the rent is really high, and I'm afraid we can't afford it. ”

After Fu Xiaojiu finished speaking, his eyes were a little dim.

The man hurriedly said: "Since I promised you to find you a suitable house for you, I will definitely speak my word." You made us earn so much more commission for the broken yard just now, how about I waive the rent of five taels for this house? You are also considerate and considerate, I am not the shopkeeper, otherwise I would definitely be able to give you a cheaper calculation. ”

Fu Xiaojiu looked at Wan Lin, and then at Wan Kai, Wan Lin said: "It's all up to the lady's arrangement." ”

Fu Xiaojiu asked again: "Can't it be cheaper?" ”

The guy shook his head helplessly, "It really can't be cheaper, although this house is two main rooms with two ear rooms, it can be regarded as four rooms, and this price is really the price of cabbage." ”

Fu Xiaojiu thought for a moment and said: "It is said that it is half a month's rent, but in fact, it should be eighteen days from now to the day the list is released." Let's just say, okay, how about you let us out for five more days? It was twenty-three days, and thirty taels of silver. ”

The man's expression was visibly shaken.

Fu Xiaojiu pointed at Wan Lin and Wan Zhang at this time, and said to the guy "cheekily": "It's not that I'm bragging, my father-in-law and Brother Zhang's knowledge is excellent, and they may be very successful." If two masters come out of this house at once, your house can be doubled whether it is rented or sold! ”

Because Wan Lin and Wan Zhang's temperament is good, and their appearance is also thoughtful, the guy is somewhat judged by his appearance, and he really believes in Fu Xiaojiu's "boasting".

The most important thing is that the guy sees that Fu Xiaojiu is in charge of everything, Wan Lin always has appreciation in his eyes when he looks at Fu Xiaojiu, and the guy sees that Wan Lin and Fu Xiaojiu not only have a good relationship, but Fu Xiaojiu is also very respected by Wan Lin, which is also rare among all students who come to the exam with their families.

The guy felt that there was something unusual about the young couple, so he sold them a favor.

"Okay, just do as you say. Twenty-three days, thirty taels of silver! Let's go back and sign the lease! ”

The guy was in a good mood, thinking that as long as Wan Lin and Wan Zhang could pass the exam, this house would be worth a lot in the future.

Although there are some episodes, the house is finally settled.

Moreover, such a good mansion is only five taels more silver than An Yushu's mansion, and Fu Xiaojiu thinks it is worth it.

Fu Xiaojiu also considered that even if the two families shared the rent equally, it would still be a little difficult for Wan Kai and Nianzhen to come up with fifteen taels of silver.

Fu Xiaojiu took the initiative to say to Wan Zhang, they just need to take ten taels of silver, and Fu Xiaojiu will come out on top.

Wan Zhang didn't want to go, and Fu Xiaojiu said that she was the same sister as Nian Zhenqing, and she was Wan Enpei's godmother, so he asked him not to worry about the silver with him.

Wan Zhang had no choice but to agree, and he was even more grateful to Fu Xiaojiu and Wan Lin.

After signing the lease deed, several people went back to the inn to pick up Nianzhen and take their things.

This house not only has a place for carriages, but also an ear room for the coachman to live in, and the other room can also be used as a study for Wan Lin and Wan Zhang, this arrangement is really in line with Fu Xiaojiu's wishes.

Nianzhen was very satisfied when she entered the courtyard, saying that they all borrowed Fu Xiaojiu's light.

Everyone cleaned up the house briefly, Wan Lin and Wan Zhang hurried up to read books, and Fu Xiaojiu and Nianzhen took the coachman to buy some daily necessities and rice, flour, grain and oil.

In the evening, Fu Xiaojiu and Nianzhen cooked a sumptuous dinner, and everyone felt comfortable and comfortable.

But they are comfortable, and some people are upset.

An Yushu and Wan Kaikouzi are suffering from their broken house.

The beds were damp and hairy, the stove had collapsed, and someone had to be hired to rebuild it.

That's not all, An Yushu originally wanted to use the empty room as a study, but the room was full of cobwebs and dampness, and the coachman disliked the house, saying that he would rather live in a carriage.

An Yushu regretted a little at this time, and spent twenty-five taels of silver to rent such a shabby place.

But it was too late for him to regret it, because if he went to look for a house now, he would not find it, and second, he would not have any extra money to toss.

There is no way, An Yushu can only grit his teeth and live here.

Wan Kai and Zhou Qiaolan both hated An Yushu, Wan Kai went to An Yushu and said that he had to rent this place, and he wouldn't do it if he shared the rent.

After listening to Wan Kai's request, An Yushu said unsympathetically that he had rubbed the carriage all the way, and the rent should be shared equally, if he didn't want to share the rent equally, he wouldn't take his carriage when he went back.

Wan Kai was angry, but he could only reluctantly take half of the rent.

After Wan Lin and Wan Zhang's families settled down, they each wrote letters to their families, telling them that everything was fine and that they should not worry about it.

Since the day the two exams moved in, they have almost never been out of the yard, most of the time Fu Xiaojiu and Nianzhen go out to buy things together, and when Nianzhen is occasionally happy, it is Fu Xiaojiu who is in charge of everything.

The days passed peacefully, and there were only three days left to leave the hometown in the blink of an eye.

The township examination of the Chen Dynasty has to be tested for three days and three nights, although the morning and evening are cool in August, but the noon is hot, and after staying in the house for so long, the candidates must prepare non-perishable dry food.

Fu Xiaojiu discussed it with Nianzhen and decided to prepare mung bean cake and potstickers for Wan Lin and Wan Zhang to make dry food.

In addition to dry food, the pen, ink, paper, inkstone, bedding and clothes used by candidates must have this strict requirement, and there can be no word or paper.

Fu Xiaojiu and Nianzhen have been preparing these things at home for the past three days, for fear of a little negligence.

On the afternoon of the day before the exam, Fu Xiaojiu and Nianzhen finally sorted out everything, and Fu Xiaojiu was about to prepare the ingredients and make some light food for dinner, when suddenly someone knocked on the door.
