Chapter 6 The Cellar?

I thought it would take a lot of time to find a house by myself, but after walking east of Lancheng Xuan Academy, I met many people asking whether to rent a house, but he pushed it off because the price was too expensive, the expensive ten gold coins a month, and the cheapest one also needed a gold coin, which was far from the few gold coins Zhu Zicheng talked about a year, and he now has more than ninety-nine silver coins, less than one gold coin, so he can only continue to walk aimlessly, and after a while, he saw a house hanging at the door of the house "Time-honored Huang's house rental." "The small building with a wooden plaque.

Seeing these four words, Long Chen was really a little surprised, he didn't expect that there were people in this world who did this business, after raising his head and looking at it carefully, he couldn't help but smile, it turned out that the whole street in front of him was doing this business.

The stone pier at the entrance of this street is also carved with three easy-to-understand characters of "Rental Street", and I also saw many men and women who had asked him if he was renting a house in front of him, leading some people into the large and small shops in the rental street in front.

"No wonder there are so many inquiries in front of you, it turns out that those people are all "salesmen". ”

After Long Chen casually picked one and walked in, Ben was lying on the table and dozing off, the shopkeeper, who was about forty years old and a little fat, woke up very alarmed, the shopkeeper glanced at Long Chen from head to toe in a very fast time, climbed back on the table, and said weakly: "I don't recruit people here, please go back." ”

Long Chen didn't care much about the shopkeeper's misidentification of himself as looking for something based on his clothes, and directly explained his intentions: "Shopkeeper, I want to rent a room." ”

"Rent a house?"

The shopkeeper raised his head slightly, still a little careless, and asked, "What kind of house do you want to rent?"

Long Chen replied, "The cheaper, the better." ”

The shopkeeper slammed his head on the table again, and said sleepily: "It's not cheap, but it will leak on a rainy day, the light is not very good, and the cold at night is quite heavy, to put it bluntly, it is a cellar, rent ten silver coins a month, rent fifty coins for half a year, and rent a gold coin a year." ”

"Cellar?"

Long Chen was slightly stunned, he didn't expect to ask about this kind of excellent place for him to make a workshop, rain leakage and light are not important, it doesn't matter if the cold is heavy at night, the most important thing is that the price is cheap, and it is very hidden, and no matter how bad the environment is, it is better than in the foggy continent for a few years, as long as there is a place where you can sleep and not be disturbed.

"Boss, where are you talking about this cellar?"

The shopkeeper straightened up and stretched out his hand to rub his cheeks, and said, "I guess you don't know where I said, I have already made the situation very clear just now, if you want to rent, then I will ask someone to take you over to see." ”

Long Chen asked with some hesitation, "Can it be cheaper?"

The shopkeeper glanced at Long Chen, and said slowly: "It's still cheap?" Little brother, I guess you're coming to Kyoto for the first time, and you don't know much about the market here, as long as it's within the scope of Kyoto, the cheapest house on the ground costs a gold coin a month, and it's also that kind of wooden shed, how much better can it be than a cellar? If you think it's expensive even ten silver coins a month, then it's really embarrassing, and you can't find anything cheaper than this in this entire rental street. ”

Long Chen estimated the money in his hand, and then asked, "Then I'll rent it for half a year, are there any procedures that need to be done?"

The shopkeeper replied, "Just sign a lease, and if it's another house, you'll have to pay some more deposits." ”

After Long Chen signed the lease and paid fifty silver coins at one time, the shopkeeper ran to the door and shouted a few times, and soon a young man dressed as a man ran from the street and led Long Chen to the location of the cellar.

The guy named Zhou Dakun said while leading Long Chen through the streets and alleys to the target location: " The owner of the cellar you rented is the old house of a maid's cousin next to the Imperial Concubine Deyi in the Kyoto Imperial Palace, but the price of renting the house is too high, and no one has rented it for several years, and the reason why you can rent the cellar is that the old man Wang who has guarded the house for these years wants to make some pocket money, anyway, it is estimated that no one is willing to spend 200 gold coins a year to rent such an old and old house, so you can rest assured that you can live, and the old man Wang will go to it every two or three months, and I see where you can live for a long time, and when you find something to do, it is best to move early, after all, the cold at night is really heavy there, and it is easy to break your body if you live for too long。 ”

"More Brother Zhou reminds. ”

Long Chen smiled, thought about it and asked, "By the way, there is something I want to ask, if that house is really rented or bought, then I can't live there?"

"I don't know, but I don't think the house will be rented out for a while. ”

Zhou Dakun replied, and then suddenly listened to the footsteps, his eyes were obviously a little stunned looking at the old house across the street, Long Chen looked over curiously, only to see that there were a few carriages parked at the door of the house that was similar to the home in Xinling Town, and someone was constantly moving things in.

After Zhou Dakun was stunned for a while, he immediately ran over and grabbed an old man with a felt hat, and asked in a low voice, "Old man Wang, what's going on?"

Old man Wang glanced at Long Chen, who was following Zhou Dakun, and asked in a low voice, "You rented out the cellar?"

Hearing this, Long Chen instantly understood, it is estimated that this so-called house of the maid cousin next to the Imperial Concubine Deyi has been rented, and it is really said that there is something to say, Zhou Dakun was still there just now and no one will rent the ticket, but he didn't expect it to be rented by someone, which made Long Chen feel a little regretful, thinking that it seemed that he was going to find it again.

"Yes, I just brought someone over, and it's this little brother who wants to rent. ”

Zhou Dakun nodded and pointed at Long Chen, while Old Man Wang turned his head to look at Long Chen and asked inexplicably: "Little baby, when do you usually go out and come back?"

Hearing this, Long Chen probably guessed the meaning of Old Man Wang's question, and it was estimated that Old Man Wang still wanted to earn some pocket money, so he wanted to ask about the time when he came in and out, and saw if it was possible to let himself live in the cellar without affecting the people who rented this house.

It's just that, considering that he wants to make a workshop page, Long Chen is not sure about the time when he will come and go, so he replied: "It's not clear, but I believe that I shouldn't disturb the people who rent this house." ”

"You wait. ”

Old man Wang trotted to a carriage in the distance, knocked on the window, after the curtain was opened, the old man Wang said something to the people in the carriage with an apologetic face, and stretched out his hand to point in the direction where Long Chen was, at this time, a young girl from the window stretched out half of her head to look at Long Chen, as if she didn't care at all, and nodded lightly to Old Man Wang.
