"Why are you ......" Zhang Hu patted his head, "I forgot, Doctor Song, you are a famous doctor in our Jizhou Mansion, just by looking at my face, you can know my recent illness, you are really this!" ”

Zhang Hu gave a thumbs up.

"This is because the weather is too hot and dry, Brother Tiger will be like this, this white jade bottle is filled with the nine-flavor heat-repelling pill that I have researched and matched, and it will feel better after taking it, and you can also take one pill before patrolling the street in the future, which can prevent heat stroke."

Song Lingyue handed the porcelain vase in her hand to Zhang Hu and smiled at Zhang Hu, "Brother Hu, we won't delay your patrol, let's go first." ”

"Okay, then Doctor Song, you go slowly." Zhang Hu took the white porcelain vase and couldn't help but be overjoyed.

***

After a while, Song Lingyue and Qi Mo arrived at Willow Street.

Not to mention that this willow street is not far from Shuangcha Lane, but the street is winding and turning, and a lot of poplars are planted on both sides.

"Hey, this place is really good, it's not far from Shuangcha Alley, but the streets are very secluded." Song Lingyue is very satisfied with this place.

"But this alley is a bit deserted, are you sure you really want to put your intestines here?" Qi Mo followed Song Lingyue into the alley, and saw that the white walls on both sides of the alley were a little painted, looking a little dilapidated.

"This place is not facing the street, there are no shops, so it will naturally look dilapidated, but this is fine, quiet and private, and the rent should not be too much." Song Lingyue jumped and walked on the bluestone road.

"It's here! Wang's house on Willow Street, it should be this one! Double vermilion doors, squatting stone lions next to them, that's right, this is it! Qi Mo checked them one by one, and found that they were all right, so he hurriedly called Song Lingyue over.

"This is it?" Song Lingyue looked at the vermilion gate in front of her, which had already fallen off the paint, and was a little suspicious, but she still stepped forward and knocked on the door.

"It's coming! Here it comes! The knocking on the door in the afternoon, which was cut a thousand times, made people uneasy! After a while, a loud voice sounded in the door, and the door opened with a curse.

I saw a plump and round figure peeking out of the mottled lacquered door.

It was an aunt in her thirties, dressed in coarse linen, with the usual woman's hair in a bun and a silver hairpin on her head, revealing her round face like a silver platter.

The fat woman opened the door, and saw Song Lingyue and Qi Mo standing at the door, two young men and women, who were stunned at first, and then smiled on their faces:

"Who are you looking for?"

"You're the aunt of the Wang family, right?" Song Lingyue stepped forward to talk, "We were introduced by Brother Zhang Huhu, and said that your family has a house to rent, right?" ”

The smile on the fat aunt's face became even brighter when she heard this: "It turned out that Zhang Zhukuai introduced it, you said it earlier!" Come in, come in! ”

After hearing Zhang Hu's name, the smile on the fat aunt's face was obviously three points more real than before.

Song Lingyue and Qi Mo glanced at each other, and the two followed the fat aunt into the courtyard.

"Since you were introduced by Zhang Zhukuai, then I won't tell you anything, my courtyard has two in and two out, and the rooms are all inseparable, the only advantage is that it is spacious and has good lighting, you see."

The fat aunt changed her previous ferocity and dragged Song Lingyue everywhere to visit this old mansion.

What the fat aunt said is true, but this house is relatively large, and there are enough rooms, but it seems that only the fat aunt lives alone, and many rooms are not cleaned, which seems a little dirty.

"I didn't expect a guest to come today, but I didn't have time to clean it up, which made you laugh." Seeing Song Lingyue's gaze fall on the weeds in the yard, the fat aunt's face showed an embarrassing arc.

She wanted to step forward to block it, but the yard was so big, she couldn't stop it even if she wanted to.

"It's okay, the room can be cleaned up, and the yard can be tidied up." Song Lingyue looked around and felt that this house really met her requirements.

When the fat aunt heard this, her face smiled even brighter, "As long as the girl doesn't dislike it!" ”

"I think it's pretty good here, what do you think?" Song Lingyue asked Qi Mo on the side.

Qi Mo looked around, heard Song Lingyue ask him, and pursed his lips: "It's good if you decide, why bother asking me." ”

Seeing the two of them like this, the fat aunt covered her mouth and smiled: "You two are a young couple who just got married, right?" That's a great feeling! What's this called, the husband sings with the wife, isn't it? ”

"Ahem......" Song Lingyue's face turned red, "Auntie, you misunderstood, I'll ...... with him." We're not ......."

"Alright, alright! My aunt is a person who has come over, and she is still shy! The fat aunt only thought that she had guessed, and squeezed her eyes at Qi Mo proudly.

Song Lingyue felt even more embarrassed, and pulled the hem of Qi Mo's clothes, which meant to let Qi Mo help explain, but Qi Mo smiled and said nothing, looking concerned.

made Song Lingyue even more annoyed, and kicked her feet hard, and Qi Mo, who was in pain, jumped in place with her feet in place and screamed.

Song Lingyue snorted, turned around and said to the fat aunt again: "How much is the rent of this yard?" If the price is right, it will be rented. ”

"Don't worry, this rent is not expensive, it costs a lot of money every month, if you rent it all year round, it can be cheaper, but ...... I have one more condition. ”

The fat aunt paused, glanced at Song Lingyue, Song Lingyue motioned for her to continue, and she said:

"Actually, this condition is also simple, that is, although this house is rented to you, I still have to live here."

Song Lingyue and Qi Mo glanced at each other, and the fat aunt was worried that they didn't want to rent and said:

"I don't live in vain, I can cook three meals a day, you only pay for one dish, what do you think?"

Song Lingyue thought for a moment, thinking that those workers who came to work were only afraid that they were all five big and three rough men, and it was not practical to let them cook by themselves, so she said with a smile:

"What's this! If you want to stay, you can just stay, although I rent your house, but after all, the landlord is you! ”

"The girl is really good at talking." The fat aunt is happy.

"Auntie, don't call me a girl, just call me Lingyue, he is Qi Mo." Anyway, the fat aunt in front of her had already misunderstood, and Song Lingyue didn't bother to explain it anymore.

"Good! Lingyue girl, Qi Mo Gongzi! The fat aunt nodded again and again, and said busily: "Don't call me one by one, the neighbors around here all call me Fat Aunt, you can call me like this." ”

"Fat aunt." Song Lingyue is as good as a stream.

"By the way, when are you two moving in? I'll clean your room too. The fat aunt rubbed her fingers with a look of anticipation.

Song Lingyue said with a smile: "Fat aunt, I didn't make it clear to you just now, this yard is not rented for the two of us, but I want to set up a workshop here, and some workers may stay here, and I don't know if I can do it." ”

"Workshop? Worker? The fat aunt repeated these two words, and the smile on her face stiffened a little, "That's not good!" If you make a workshop, how can I live in this house! ”

"Auntie, I really like your house, you can rent it to us!" Song Lingyue stepped forward and shook the fat aunt's arm, and seeing that the fat aunt was unmoved, she could only grit her teeth and say:

"Why don't I give you another one-third increase in rent, which can be regarded as compensation for you, okay?"

The fat aunt's brow showed signs of twitching.

Song Lingyue saw that there was a door, and said:

"Fat aunt, I just took a look at your house, there are five wings in total, one of them is in the front yard, and the remaining four are in the backyard, we can build a wall and then install the door, those workers will go to sleep in the backyard after work, if you are worried about safety, lock it, it's always okay, right?"

"Also, don't I run a workshop? There is also a lack of a cook, you live here, piggyback on some meals for the workers, all the money for the dishes is paid by me, and then give you a penny a month, what do you think? ”

As soon as the fat aunt heard Song Lingyue's words, the corners of her tense lips could be regarded as curvature, and a penny of silver was not a small amount, and she only paid a hundred yuan a month.

If you can give a penny just for cooking for the workers, the transaction is not a loss.

However, the fat aunt looked at Qi Mo, who was not speaking, and then looked at Song Lingyue, pulled Song Lingyue's sleeve, and whispered:

"Can you decide? Don't need to ask you men? ”

Song Lingyue almost didn't react at first, but only after realizing it did she realize that the fat aunt was talking about Qi Mo.

Qi Mo'er was bright-eyed, and vaguely heard the fat aunt's words, glanced over here, and asked Song Lingyue if she needed help.

"No, I can decide." Song Lingyue smiled slightly, and took out a dime of silver from her arms, "Fat aunt, if you have no opinion, let's sign the lease contract!" ”

As soon as the fat aunt saw the dime of silver, her eyes lit up, "Okay! The girl is really a cheerful person! I'm going to call Zhang Xiucai next door to come over and help us draft the paperwork! ”

After the fat aunt finished speaking, she ran to the door and shouted Zhang Xiucai a few times towards the dilapidated hut next door.

After a while, I saw a scholar in a patched robe push the door out.

"Fat aunt, what's the matter?" The scholar asked the fat aunt.

The fat aunt told her about the cause and effect, and Zhang Xiucai smiled: "Then I'll write you a lease contract, and I'll go back to the room to get a pen and paper." ”

"Did you find it, this fat aunt looks simple, but she is actually quite shrewd." Qi Mo approached Song Lingyue and whispered.

Song Lingyue nodded slightly, and smiled: "Indeed, this fat aunt obviously knows that we can write, but she still went to her neighbor Zhang Xiucai to write, obviously afraid that we will get our hands and feet." It seems that this fat aunt is not only shrewd but also quite security-conscious. ”

"Why do I think you seem like you're complimenting her?" Qi Mo raised his eyebrows.

"That's right, I'm just complimenting her!" Song Lingyue smiled mischievously.

After a while, the fat aunt took the lease contract written by Zhang Xiucai and came over with a happy face.

Song Lingyue took the contract and read it carefully a few times, made sure that there was no problem, and handed it to Qi Mo.
