After looking at several houses, I found that there was a poster for rent posted on the outside of a portal.

The door of this house is quite spacious, which can accommodate two carriages to enter at the same time, and as for the side door, it can also accommodate one carriage to enter, which is an authentic family.

The furnishings at the door, there is no majestic lion Pixiu, it is two large stones, known as the gatekeeper stone.

The introduction is simple and without superfluous embellishments, which is Yuan Zheng's first impression of the Qin people.

Yuan Zheng stepped forward and knocked on the knocker, and after a few bangs, there was not much reaction inside.

"It's better to rent a big house and live under the same roof as the main family, and always feel unhappy. Yuan Zheng said.

Li Chen didn't react much, he grew so big, let alone the courtyard of such a big family, he hadn't even entered the door of the well-off house, it didn't matter to him.

After a long time, the door opened, and there was an old man of about fifty years of age, not tall, but extremely well-proportioned, with a goatee, and wearing a plain dress.

Seeing that it was a well-dressed boy with a sword, the old man subconsciously asked, "Dare to ask if the son is here to visit, or is there something else?"

In the Great Wei Dynasty, depending on where it is, such as the Imperial City, except for people with official bodies, the rest cannot wear swords, and blades are forbidden.

But in the Qin State, it was different, and the wind of martial arts swept across the vast Great Qin.

If you are a scholar, if you go out and wear a sword, you will also be looked at by others.

If you are a rich man, if you don't take a dick of things when you go out, you won't necessarily be treated well by others.

Seeing Yuan Zheng's character, a wooden sword and a sword without a scabbard, the old man looked at Yuan Zheng even more.

Yuan Zheng said softly: "I am from Yongzhou, I came to Xianyang for some things, I came to rent a house, and I saw that your family had a poster for rent, so I knocked on the knocker." ”

The old man smiled softly, made an invitation gesture, and said, "Then come in and say, I am the housekeeper here, and I can't make decisions about this kind of thing." ”

Yuan Zheng took Li Chen into this big family, the courtyard is very large, there is no rockery lake, but there is a small pond, in which a group of sturgeon is raised, and a few pentagonal trees are planted, also known as the fortune tree.

The old man took Yuan Zheng and Li Chen to the inner room.

A middle-aged man in his forties was lying on a rocking chair, and two maids beside him were carefully serving tea.

Looking at the past, there will be no more than ten maids and servants here, but in Xianyang, this is already a big family.

The old housekeeper stepped forward and said softly, "These two are here to rent a room." ”

This middle-aged man is not tall, at least among the Qin people, he belongs to the type of short man.

He got up from the rocking chair with some difficulty, glanced at Yuan Zheng, and saw that he was dressed and wearing a sword, and he was also a master who was not short of silver.

Wen Wen smiled: "I don't know how big a house the little brother wants to rent, I have five vacant rooms here, and the largest one can accommodate ten people." ”

Yuan Zheng smiled: "I don't know that the master's house has no extra mansions here, I like to live alone, and I live under the same roof with others, and I am not used to it." ”

The next thing is to teach Li Chen to read and write, such a secret thing, of course, to do it in a quiet place.

When the middle-aged man heard this, he couldn't stop laughing, it seems that this little brother is still a rich man.

Yingdao: "Yes, but the innermost part of this alley is a bit deep, and you have to walk for a while." ”

Yuan Zheng smiled: "Then take me to have a look." ”

"Howler. ”

Led by a middle-aged man, he walked out of the mansion and continued to the deepest part of the alley.

After reaching the end, the middle-aged man's rightmost instrument door.

said: "This yard is too deep, you have to walk a little longer on the way home, but the inside is quite spacious, and it is more than enough for the two of you to live." ”

Looking at the past, a square courtyard is not as delicate and elegant as the Jiangnan courtyard, this courtyard seems a little sloppy, but it is also open and chic.

After walking around the corners, Yuan Zheng said bluntly: "I don't know how the rent is calculated?"

The middle-aged man said: "Ten taels of gold in a month, if you live for a year, it is one hundred taels of gold." ”

In Xianyang, a place where you can't do big business, ordinary people can earn ten taels of gold a month, and those days are already very prosperous.

Yuan Zheng said: "Half a year, fifty taels of gold, what do you think?"

Now it's summer, and half a year later, it's almost the end of the year.

If you still live here during the Chinese New Year, it will inevitably arouse the suspicion of those who are interested.

The middle-aged man was also refreshing, and said with a smile: "Yes, the little brother is a cheerful person, so I can't be too abrasive." ”

Yuan Zheng smiled indifferently, took out two large gold ingots from his sleeve and handed them to the middle-aged man.

"When I first came to Xianyang, many people don't know much about the world, and I may need your seniors to guide me in the future. "Yuan Zhengdao.

After getting two big gold ingots and weighing them, it might be more than fifty taels, almost about fifty-three taels, and he was naturally happy in his heart.

hurriedly responded: "It's okay, I'm not the kind of harsh master, since you live in my house, why will you be a family in the future, if you need anything or don't understand, just come to me." ”

Yuan Zheng nodded slightly, and said with a soft smile: "Then I'm afraid that I will have to trouble you more seniors." ”

The middle-aged man said heartily: "What trouble are you afraid of, these days, who hasn't been troubled." ”

This is also true, Yuan Zheng has nothing to say.

The middle-aged man didn't bother Yuan Zheng and Li Chen anymore, and returned to the house where he lived.

Yuan Zheng waited for the middle-aged man to leave before he said: "The two of us, I'm afraid we are going to live a budget-conscious life, the four treasures of the scholar's room are quite expensive, and I don't know what the market is here in Xianyang." ”

"We're going to live here for a while, and this kind of thing can't happen often. ”

"If you know what to do on the stove, we can buy some grain, oil, and meat, and be self-sufficient. ”

Li Chen said: "I know how to cook." ”

Yuan Zheng snorted, there is a cook, that is, a big thing has been implemented.

Thinking of peppercorns and fennel, it would be nice if the two of them were still by their side.

"Let's go out for a walk first, buy the four treasures of the study first, and then eat a bowl of trouser noodles by the way, and buy some grain, oil and meat. Yuan Zheng said earnestly.

Before coming to Daqin, Yuan Zheng had an attitude of traveling and learning, somewhat imitating the scholar Zhong Nan's meaning.

But I didn't expect that after coming to Daqin, I first cultivated the method of Sheng Shen and the method of cultivating the will by chance, and then met Dongfang Mingyue.

Senior sister Shan Rong didn't meet it.

On the contrary, he met Li Chen, who was lonely, and then came to the legendary Xianyang, and taught him to read and write.

He didn't know if this was the cultivation of the princes' swords, so he could only follow the trend.
