Chapter 181: Renting a Yard
Li Yue replied with a smile, "That's not good, tomorrow morning we will have a morning meeting for everyone, and the shopkeeper will still be responsible for announcing their (her) appointments." ”
Shopkeeper Qu nodded in response, "Okay, leave this matter to me." ”
After finishing these, Li Yue washed up and went upstairs, with nothing to do, Li Yun was no more, Li Yue sat cross-legged on the bed and began to practice, after practicing Li Yue saw that Li Yun had not come back yet, thinking about whether something was wrong, and did not want to hear footsteps outside the door, and then Li Yun pushed the door and came in.
Li Yun saw Li Yue sitting on the bed, and asked while bolting the door, "Why haven't you slept yet?" ”
Li Yue glanced at Li Yun, "Aren't you waiting for you, isn't it just to deliver a letter, why have you been there for so long?" ”
Li Yun bolted the door and came over, explaining, "I met Zhou Huaijin and dragged me to drink with him. ”
Li Yue looked at Li Yun suspiciously, "What kind of wine is this good drink?" ”
Li Yun sat down next to Li Yue, and said while taking off his coat, "I guess it has something to do with his maid, why do you have to sit on the bed in a mattress again, and the quilt is not covered, this is about to enter winter, the weather is getting colder and colder, do you want to freeze yourself?" While reproaching, Li Yun had already gone to bed and pulled Li Yue into the quilt.
Li Yue nestled into Li Yun's arms, smiled, and said coquettishly, "Aren't I practicing, practicing is not cold." ”
Li Yun blew out the oil lamp, hugged Li Yue, who was a little cold on his body, into his arms, and said, "In the future, you are not allowed to practice in clothes and on the bed." ”
Li Yue obediently responded, "Yes, my father-in-law." ”
Remembering that there was something to do in the morning, Li Yue woke up early the next morning, when it was dawning, he moved in Li Yun's arms, broke free from Li Yun's arms and sat up, Li Yun was awakened by Li Yue, and he also got up and asked, "Why did you wake up so early today?" ”
Li Yue took the clothes and began to put them on, and said, "I want to have a morning meeting for the waiter in the morning, you should hurry up and get dressed, let's go down early, the teahouse will open after the meeting." ”
Li Yun nodded, also took the clothes and began to put them on, the two of them dressed and tidied up, Li Yue was about to go downstairs, so Li Yun pulled him, "Wait a minute, comb your hair bun first." ”
Li Yue said with some trouble, "Isn't it good to have such a simple bunch?" ”
Li Yun insisted, took a comb and said while combing Li Yue's hair, "Look at which woman outside just tied her hair like you and went out?" In the future, you are not allowed to go out without combing your hair in a good bun. ”
Li Yue secretly pursed her mouth, and sat there obediently and let Li Yun toss, anyway, she herself would not comb a woman's hair bun.
When the two of them cleaned up and went downstairs, the shopkeeper Qu had already gotten up, and the waiters in the teahouse in front of him had also come one after another, and they had already begun to get busy.
After the two of them finished washing, Li Yue walked around the courtyard for a while, and a waiter came in front of him to call a few people over, saying that everyone had arrived, and Li Yun and Li Yue, the shopkeeper of Qu, went to the teahouse in the front hall.
This matter has been handed over to the shopkeeper Qu, Li Yue and Li Yun also stood there, the shopkeeper Qu is a businessman, seeing how Li Yue subdued those waiters, he also learned a few tricks, and he didn't forget to cheer up those waiters when it was late.
Those waiters heard that they were going to open a branch, as long as they worked hard, they had the opportunity to be promoted like those foremen, and they were originally a little unbalanced because the people who came with them (her) were promoted.
After the meeting with the waiter, and went back to the backyard for breakfast, Li Yun and Li Yue went to the barbecue restaurant together, Li Yue made an appointment with the third aunt Liu yesterday, and went to the house together this morning.
When the two of them passed, they saw that the Liu family was already waiting at the door, Minghui and Mingkang were helping to wash the vegetables in the house, but they didn't see Ming Laosan and Mingyao, Li Yue asked, "What about the third uncle and the eldest brother?" ”
Liu Shi responded, "Go to the market to buy ingredients, let's go." ”
A few people are hanging around in this barbecue restaurant, the house is not difficult to find, but it is difficult to find a consensus, and then I met an old woman, and asked a few people if they were looking for a house, she was very clear about the houses in the county, Mingyue estimated that this old woman should be an intermediary who specializes in helping people sell houses and rent houses, and they are so aimless to find it is not a way, so she nodded.
The old woman was also direct, without beating around the bush, and said, "The old woman depends on this to eat, let's talk first, help you find a good house, and you have to give me 500 wen introduction fee." ”
As soon as the Liu family heard that they actually received the money, they planned to refuse, and they looked for it slowly, but they didn't want Li Yue to agree directly, so Liu frowned and pulled Li Yue to the side and whispered, "Let's find it slowly, why do you still look for it?" ”
Li Yue responded with a smile, "Look at it, the old woman's hair is all gray, and it's not easy to come out to make money, let's help her, and besides, this old woman is quite upright, so she opened her mouth first and said the price, and she didn't get us." ”
Hearing Li Yue say this, the Liu family didn't want to say anything, followed Li Yue over, the old woman kept standing there and waiting, and talked to Li Yun for a couple of words, seeing that Li Yun didn't want to talk to him much, so she stopped.
Seeing that the Liu family and Li Yue had discussed it, the old woman said, "What do you two say, do you still want the old woman to help?" ”
Li Yue replied with a smile, "Of course." ”
As soon as she heard that the two of them still wanted it, the old woman smiled and squinted her eyes and said, "Tell me, what do you want?" ”
Li Yue thought for a while, and said to the Liu family on the side, "Li Yun and I are also thinking about moving out and finding a bigger place, so that we can pick up my mother and Xiaoyang, why don't we rent a bigger yard together?" Everyone lives together and has a care. ”
Liu replied with a smile, "Of course that's good." ”
After listening to the third aunt Liu's response, Li Yue said to the old woman, "If you want a slightly larger courtyard, at least a dozen people can live, the location doesn't matter, the price is a little cheaper." ”
The old woman thought for a while before saying, "There are really not many courtyards that can live in more than a dozen people, but I know a place, which is connected by two courtyards next to each other, and the yard is very large, but the courtyard is next to the prison, and from time to time you can hear the cries of the prisoners in the prison, and there has been another incident before, the prison prisoners escaped from the wall over there, and killed several people in the landlord's family, and then the family moved away, and since this incident, this yard can't be sold, and no one dares to rent it, So the price is also quite cheap, in fact, more than 20 years have passed since this incident, and the courtyard wall on the prison side has also increased, but still no one dares to buy or rent that house, it depends on whether you dare or not. ”
As soon as Liu Shi heard that there were prisoners in the prison who had escaped from prison and climbed over the wall to kill people, he hurriedly shook his head and said, "This is too dangerous, so forget it." ”
Li Yue felt a little interested, and said, "Why don't we go and have a look first?" ”
The Liu family was a little hesitant, and Li Yue opened her mouth to persuade, "Let's go and have a look, this land that can't be rented out must be cheap, and if it doesn't work, let's change the land again." ”
Listening to Li Yue's words, the Liu family had no choice but to respond, "Okay, let's go and have a look first." ”
As soon as the old woman heard that a few people wanted to go and see, she said, "Then let's go, the landlord's current home is near here, let's go to the landlord's house first, and let him ask someone to take us to see it." ”
The landlord was very happy to hear that someone was finally going to see the house, but when he heard that a few people just wanted to rent, he was a little disappointed, and called someone to take the key to take them (her) to see it.
Li Yue had been to the county government prison, and the next person took a few people over, and sure enough, it was the direction of the county government, and before he arrived at the county office, he entered an alley, which seemed to be some large courtyards, and there were not many doors, and it was very quiet.
The next few people came to the door of a house with a locked gate, opened the door, it may have been inhabited for a long time, there was a smell of desolation, and it was full of musty smell, but it was quite neat to clean up, and it was estimated that someone came to clean it on time, but the yard was already full of leaves.
Entering the courtyard door, there are two big trees, to the inside is an artificial lake, the lake is already full of fallen leaves, the lake is not big, there is a small arch bridge above, the next person took a few people across the arch bridge, and said, "This was originally two courtyards combined into one courtyard, which side of the courtyard do you look at first?" ”
Li Yue casually picked a direction, "Let's look at this side first." ”
The next person took a few people to the direction pointed by Li Yue, Li Yue observed as she walked, and couldn't help but admire, "This courtyard is quite elegantly arranged." ”
Listening to Li Yue's words, the subordinate who led the way in front said, "Our master has spent a lot of effort in this yard, if it doesn't happen, the master is reluctant to sell it." ”
The Liu family has been observing this courtyard, looking at such a high-end and elegant, I am afraid that it is not cheap, and now the person who listened to it asked, "Then how much is this rent?" ”
Then the man said, "The lord doesn't expect this courtyard to be rented at a good price, and it is only two hundred taels of silver a year." ”
Listening to the words of the next person, Liu Shi exclaimed, "So expensive? ”
The next man glanced at Liu, "Is this still expensive?" You don't look at what kind of yard this is, if a few are too expensive, you don't need to continue looking, so as not to waste time. ”
Li Yue hurriedly said, "Let's take a look first, and then talk if you are satisfied." ”
Listening to Li Yue's words, the next person glanced at Li Yue and Li Yun before continuing to walk forward.
The more Liu walked, the more she knew why this yard was so expensive, it was the first time she had seen such a magnificent yard, no wonder it was so expensive, although the yard was good, Liu really felt that it was too expensive, how to rent it, but Yue'er insisted on seeing it, and she couldn't object, so she had to continue to see.
After walking for a while, I saw a magnificent courtyard, surrounded by trees, the courtyard was located in the middle of those trees, a symbolic gate without a door, stepping in, facing an atmospheric courtyard.
The person who listened to it began to introduce, "This is the main courtyard of this courtyard, there are wing rooms on the left and right, and there is a separate courtyard behind, which was originally lived by women, and there is a small garden at the back, but no one takes care of it, and now it is deserted." ”
While saying that, the next person took a few people to the backyard, Li Yue looked at the deserted flower garden, and said, "It's not bad to grow vegetables in such a large piece of land." ”
