Chapter 67: Renting a House
The room is facing the sun, although it is small, but it is complete, and there is a pot of bellflower flowers on the table, white and tender.
"Well, I like this room, but I may not be able to rent it for too long because of limited funds."
Xu Qingyan did not shy away from his embarrassment at all.
There is less than 50,000 yuan left on her body, and she will hold on until after giving birth.
Besides, she didn't plan to use Shen Zhixing's money.
The proprietress stroked her long hair, "Then what kind of house are you going to rent, and I will help you with the staff." ”
Xu Qingyan smiled, "It's best to have the kind of house with a store, the first floor is used to solicit business, and the second floor can live in people." ”
"You know how to do business?"
Xu Qingyan nodded, and shook his head again, "I studied fashion design in college, and I want to do private customization. ”
"Well...... the proprietress pondered for a moment, then said to Xu Qingyan, "I can recommend a place for you, but the landlord is a little weird, and the people are very good." ”
Get out of this inn and turn a corner to the side.
There was an old lady lying in a rocking chair at the door, holding a fan for a while, and when she saw someone coming, she half-squinted at it, and closed her eyes again.
"Grandma, someone wants to rent your house."
When Grandma heard this, she shook her fan, "Do you know my rules here?" ”
"She's a foreigner, so don't sell it, just tell her that it's okay." The proprietress flashed a glimmer of light in her phoenix eyes, and she smiled to clear the siege.
"Okay, go in and take a spin, and then come out and tell me about it."
What a peculiar request.
But I still walked in according to the words, the antique two-story building, the windows are built of ancient carvings, but it does not affect the light at all.
Turning around from the inside, Xu Qingyan felt it, "It's a very peculiar but very comfortable feeling, this house, the perfect softening of ancient and modern design, not only makes people feel refreshing, but also makes people feel that there is a story inside, grandma, I like it very much." ”
Grandma seemed to be reminded of the past, her eyes were half-drooping, and there was a little emotion of unknown meaning in it.
"I designed it with my wife, but unfortunately ......"
Fu looked up at Xu Qingyan again, "What are you going to do?" ”
"Fashion design is about making clothes."
"There is a request, you have to help me make two clothes, a cheongsam and a horse coat in men's and women's styles, until I am satisfied. If you agree to this condition, the house can be rented to you. ”
"Good..."
Xu Qingyan nodded, not only to rent a house, but also to gamble, wanting to prove that she was not a worthless daughter.
Without the blessing of the family and the existence of Shen Zhixing, she can also be self-reliant.
On the way back with Xu Qingyan, the proprietress gave her a detailed introduction to the situation around the town, and finally explained, "The old lady is middle-aged and widowed, and her temperament has changed greatly, so she is not very willing to pay attention to people. She had a good relationship with her grandfather, and after such a violent blow, she went alone. ”
"I don't know what to do, but I always fall in love. Everyone's story is different, but they can't escape the word love. ”
The proprietress smiled, "You can think clearly." My name is Lan Yu, if you have anything in the future, you can come to me directly. ”
"My name is Xu Qingyan, please take care of me in the future."
"Xu Qingyan, a nice name."
Xu Qingyan didn't say anything anymore, just asked the cloth shop and was going to buy supplies.
Lan Yu told her a few reliable stores and asked her to go shopping by herself.
The town doesn't have a lot of stuff, but there are a lot of things that can be taken locally.
After buying the antique satin and navy blue solid color fabrics based on pavilions and pavilions, Su Nuannuan began the road of making clothes.
She didn't understand what these two clothes meant to Grandma.
But when she handed the clothes to the old lady, the excitement in Grandma's eyes was not fake.
Her hand grinded repeatedly on the cheongsam. There were tears in his eyes, as if he had thought of something before.
"Would you like to give it a try?" Xu Qingyan asked tentatively.
Grandma blinked her eyes twice and blinked back her tears, "No need to try, how do you know, what I want is this style of cheongsam and horse coat?" ”
Xu Qingyan smiled a little embarrassedly, "When I went to visit the house that day, I saw a photo hanging on the wall, it should be you when you were young." So I made the dress you see now, modeled after the one above. But I made a little change in the waist part......"
Speaking of these two clothes, Xu Qingyan was a little talkative, until Grandma looked at her with strange eyes, she lowered her head a little embarrassed, "Grandma, am I talking too much." ”
Grandma shook her head, "This house is rented to you." ”
"What is the rent, it's too expensive, I probably can't afford it."
"Knowing that you can't pay the rent and make clothes for me, aren't you afraid to waste your time and energy on my old wife?"
“……”
Sure enough, he spoke very directly.
"You don't need to pay rent, you can make me a set of clothes like this every season. This is the key, and from today onwards, you can do things here. ”
When she returned to the inn, Lan Yu was already waiting at the door with a smile, "How is it, is Grandma satisfied?" ”
Xu Qingyan nodded, "I'm quite satisfied, but I always feel a little unreal." ”
The keys are already in hand.
Lan Yu said with a smile, "What's this, it proves that you still have strength, and the clothes you make are in her eyes, and you won't have to worry about business in the future." It's not in vain that you've been greedy for the morning and late, and your ten fingers are now swollen like carrots. ”
"Then I'll move out tomorrow."
"Go, go, just make room for me, and the house rented to you won't make money."
Although he said so, before Xu Qingyan left, Lan Yu still made a table of dishes.
After drinking two glasses of flower wine, Lan Yu's face pocket was a little red, and she looked very cute, "I tell you, men are big pigs' trotters, so you must take care of yourself, but you can't just make them feel that he has to be so easily." ”
"Lan Yu, do you have something on your mind?" Xu Qingyan asked, there was something wrong with Lan Yu today.
"I'm just feeling it, feeling it, hehe, eating vegetables." Lan Yu ended the conversation with a smile.
Xu Qingyan packed up her things and moved in, and the next day she asked the little carpenter in the town to carve a signboard for her, and when she hung it, Qingyan's studio was also open for business.
It's enough not to be too busy every day, but to have a lot of money in addition to your daily expenses.
The days passed like this, and Xu Qingyan's stomach was also like flatulence, getting bigger and bigger day by day.
In the past month or so, life may have gone too smoothly, and her own little face has gained weight several times.
Lan Yu came over to see her, "When are you going to give birth, seeing that you are about to give birth, you will not stop." ”
