Chapter 365, how did you come back
For the four, it was a small episode.
After eating something, the four of them got in the car and continued to hurry, and soon arrived in Kyoto, because Shangguan Feng was there, He Niannian and Gu Chen just registered their names and entered the city.
When they entered the city, Gu Chen asked for a stop, saying that they would be sent here.
Ming Yihui was reluctant, "Didn't you say you wanted to send me home?" She also wants to recommend the two to her father or mother, they are both people with great skills, and it is rare for her to meet.
Gu Chen shook his head, "No, since Brother Shangguan is related to you, and his martial arts are good, and this is your territory, there is no need for us to send you home." ”
Shangguan Feng glanced at He Niannian and knew that this was what she meant, but the two of them didn't communicate much throughout the whole process, how did she convey her meaning?
"But when we said yes, why don't you talk about it?" Ming Yihui was reluctant to let go, "In this way, as long as you send me back to the palace, I can let my father give you an official title, how about it?" ”
"We don't want your money as a payment, the agreement is canceled, the escort along the way, as an acquaintance, that's all, farewell." Gu Chen didn't say anything more to her.
He and He Niannian turned around and left very chicly, how could they still be cautious and cautious when they met for the first time.
Ming Yihui was angry and anxious, how could anyone tear up the agreement halfway, she wanted to shout out to them to theorize, but was stopped by Shangguan Feng.
"Fifth sister, don't get angry, it's not cost-effective to offend them, it's better to leave it to me, I think since they came to Kyoto for so long, they won't leave, they always have to find a place to stay, and they always need help in all aspects."
Ming Yihui was right when she thought about it, she was really angry just now, and since she grew up so much, no one dared to talk to her like this and didn't listen to her orders.
"Then, Hui Niang, thank you second brother, I am actually thinking about the court, with them, it is equivalent to having Tianque Gate as a backing, and our Xiangguo will no longer be afraid."
Shangguan Feng said that he understood, and when he sent Ming Yihui back to the palace, he sent someone to inquire about He Niannian and the others to see where they were staying.
Gu Chen regretted a little that she didn't receive Ming Yihui's payment, but it was still based on her sister's intentions, she said that if she didn't go to the palace, she wouldn't go.
"Sister, where are we going next?"
"Find a cheaper house, live in it first, and wait for General Mo to come back."
"However, according to what I have inquired about, it will be two or three months before the war ends. Everything in Kyoto is expensive, so why don't we go to a town outside the city and wait? Gu Chen suggested.
He Niannian hesitated, she really didn't know the price here, she thought that there were 1,500 taels that could last for half a year, "Why don't we rent a house and live for a few months, it should be no problem, and besides, you also need to cultivate, this place is more suitable." ”
When it comes to cultivation, Gu Chen is no longer insisting on leaving, although he doesn't like Kyoto, he wants to learn skills more.
"Otherwise, let's go to the south of the city to rent a house, the one there is relatively cheaper, but the environment is worse. Is that okay, sister? He thought about it for a moment, and only renting a house over there was a good deal.
He Niannian nodded, it didn't matter where it was.
Gu Chen had been in Kyoto for several years, and he was a beggar before, but when he met the stone tablet and picked up the book, he found a larger Taoist robe to put on, claiming to be a disciple of Tianque Sect.
Although I didn't make much money in the past two years, I was better than a beggar, and my clothes were patched when they were torn, and they became fitted from big to large.
The houses on the south side are relatively shabby, belonging to the old town, and the streets are full of vendors selling all kinds of things, although noisy, but with a lot of people.
"Sister, although the living environment here is a little worse, it is convenient to buy things, the price is cheap, and there are many kinds of things, most of the people are very friendly, and the most important thing is that you can bargain." Along the way, Gu Chen was introducing the benefits of the Southern District, wanting He Niannian to believe in himself, this side is really good.
"Well, I know, Gu Chen, you have a heart."
Gu Chen was very familiar with Kyoto, especially in the southern area of Kyoto, and he took He Niannian to turn left and right, and came to a small courtyard.
He Niannian followed Gu Chen, his eyes moved slightly, and after a look, he understood why he didn't want to stay in Kyoto.
When he arrived at a small courtyard, Gu Chen went to knock on the door, and a middle-aged woman opened the door and came out, she was a little surprised when she saw Gu Chen, "Gu Chen, why are you back?" Hurry on in. ”
She lowered her voice and hurriedly opened the courtyard door to let them in.
"Although Ouyang Gongzi didn't investigate the previous matter, you better be careful, and come back after a while." Aunt Su instructed Gu Chen.
Gu Chen's face turned red, and he glanced at He Niannian embarrassedly, "Sister, I,"
"It's okay, I've got it all, don't worry." He Niannian didn't mind, if there was no reason, he wouldn't leave Kyoto and lived in a mountain villa for half a year.
"Sister? Who is this? Aunt Su looked at He Niannian, she was very beautiful, wearing strange but valuable clothes at first glance, could it be because of this person Gu Chen that she took the risk to come back?
"Aunt Su, let me introduce to you, this is my senior sister, very powerful, I brought my senior sister over this time because I want to rent your house for a while."
"Sect?" Aunt Su looked at He Niannian suspiciously several times, does he really have a sect in terms of his ability? Isn't it another one who relies on deception to eat?
"Auntie, my senior sister is a person with great skills, my sect is very powerful, I am just a disciple at the very end, and I can't learn art at home." When it comes to his own sect this time, Gu Chen obviously has confidence, unlike the previous ones who couldn't say anything, and the main reason was that he didn't have a bottom in his heart.
It's different now, he has a senior sister, his sect is a place for immortal family cultivation, even the princess has to be polite to them, so a son of the military department, he really isn't afraid.
Aunt Su was skeptical, but she didn't ask anything more, but talked about the house.
"Do you plan to rent it on a monthly basis or on a daily basis, if it is a monthly rate, eight taels of silver a month, and if it is a day, four taels of silver a day."
"By month, but can it be cheaper, eight taels is too expensive." Gu Chen began to bargain.
He Niannian wanted to cover his head, originally thinking that he would pay dozens of taels or even a hundred taels of silver a month, so Gu Chen looked so distressed, and the result was only eight taels.
"Aunt Su, is this house for sale? How much? He Niannian interrupted the two of them and wanted to buy the house.
"Sister?" Gu Chen was taken aback, "What are we going to do when we buy a house, aren't we only living for two or three months?" ”
"Girl, do you really want to buy it? But I'll talk about it first, don't look at my house now, it's only eight taels a month, but the annual election of outstanding talents and the imperial examination every three years, it is difficult to find a room, it is absolutely full, and people are rushing to rent one or two pieces of silver a day. Aunt Su's eyes lit up, but she still endured the joy between her eyebrows, and she still had to say what she had to say.
"Well, I understand, please tell me the price, right?"
Aunt Su was overjoyed in her heart, and regarded He Niannian as the owner of the money, she stretched out one finger, and then stretched out two fingers, "How about this price?" ”
"One thousand two hundred taels? Do you rob it? Before He Niannian could speak, Gu Chen stopped doing it, "A house of this size, this location, at most a thousand taels, you are too dark." ”
"But my house is new." Aunt Su dodged her gaze for a moment and found a reason.
"It won't take two hundred taels to decorate, let's go somewhere else." Gu Chen took He Niannian's hand and was about to go out.
"One thousand taels, one thousand taels sold to you." Aunt Su saw that they were leaving, and hurriedly called someone, she just saw that He Niannian was rich and wanted to make more money, she still had a house in the east of the south of the city, and she wanted to sell it for a long time, otherwise she would have to come over every day to see the house, what if someone came to rent a house?
In other words, she is reluctant to give people Yazi money, register there, and really rent it out or sell it to be divided into half of the silver, and it is precisely because she is reluctant to pay that the business of the house is actually not good, most of them go to the tooth store to find a house, and she can only rely on luck or acquaintances to introduce her. Or wait for the annual Kyoto boom to make some money.
Seeing that the other party lowered the price, He Niannian grabbed Gu Chen and motioned to him, just here.
Here are three standard main houses, plus east and west wings, in the middle is a small courtyard, next to the courtyard wall is a tree, to the left of the tree is a grass shed, in which firewood is piled up.
"Sister," Gu Chen still felt expensive, he thought that the other party would say one thousand taels, but he was bargaining and striving for eight hundred taels.
"That's it, Gu Chen, you help to get through the household, and it falls under your name, after all, I haven't been outside for a long time, maybe I'll go back in a few months." This courtyard can be regarded as a meeting gift from my senior sister. He Niannian faced Gu Chen with the attitude and tone of an elder, treating him as his younger brother.
"Sister, don't you plan to take me with you when you leave, I will cultivate hard and not embarrass the sect." Gu Chen's anxious eyes were slightly red, worried that He Niannian would not take him when he returned to the sect, and he was lying to him if he recognized his senior sister and his master.
"Gu Chen, you listen to me," He Niannian didn't expect him to react so much, "The sect is not very far from here, it's just that it's too secretive and there is a mountain protection array as a cover, outsiders can't find out, during this time, I will teach you the skills of the sect first, and when I go back later, I will definitely explain your affairs to the head of the sect and accept you as a disciple of the sect, I promise." ”
He Niannian raised her right hand and assured, although there is no Tianque Gate here, but there will be eight hundred years later, when she goes back, she must go to Tianque Gate to ask the head of the sect to accept Gu Chen, even if it is a few hundred years apart. That's the only thing she can do.
With He Niannian's assurance, Gu Chen's mood eased a lot, and he looked at her seriously, "Okay, I believe sister, you must come back to pick me up." ”
He Niannian was silent for a moment, and nodded solemnly in the face of his gaze, "I will." "Even if you are no longer there at that time, I will find a way to find your reincarnated person and fulfill today's promise.
Gu Chen grinned and showed a mouthful of white teeth, and smiled at He Niannian, very happy.
