Chapter Twenty-Eight: In Sendai
Jinyuan Street, Baiyin Lane, Wanguan Canal, Baifutang, the names are more vulgar than the other, undisguised, and they express a meaning nakedly - the people who live here are very rich!
When passing through Luoying Street and Tooth Market, Xu Feng had already seen that there was a house to rent in Baiyin Lane, and he came to a high-gate compound according to the address. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
On either side of the vermilion gate stood mighty lions. The gate has tusks on the face of the beast and a gilded knocker in its mouth.
Xu Feng only cared about enlightenment all the way, his face was unkempt, and his body was dirty. At this time, reminiscing about the grandeur of Sendai Castle, he stepped forward and rang the doorbell.
After a while, I heard footsteps coming, the vermilion gate creaked, first opened a crack in the door, and a piece of green penetrated into the eyes, and suddenly a cool feeling hit Xu Feng's body. There was a green bamboo planted behind the door, and a pretty little maid asked with a puzzled face, "Are you knocking on the door?"
Xu Feng deliberately looked back, and said to the little maid with a puzzled expression: "It should be...... Is it me?!".
The maid was teased by Xu Feng like this, but she was not annoyed, glanced at Xu Feng's line, and stuck out her tongue: "Let's rent a house! I won't rent it within a month! I will pay it first and live later! I will not pay it on credit! I will live or not!?"
Although it is the upper district, twenty-two months is also a sky-high asking price, and you can pay it back on the ground!
Xu Feng just felt strange and didn't say much, reached out and took out twenty taels of silver from his back bag, spread his palm forward and said, "Twenty taels."
The little girl was stunned for a moment, then grabbed the silver, slammed the door shut, and said as she ran inside, "You wait......"
Xu Feng said softly: Compared with Hengshui Town, people in the city can play!
A quarter of an hour passed, an hour passed, and when Xu Feng was about to break out and slam the door, a clear voice came from through the door: "I want to see if I am a fool or a madman, rent twenty taels of silver, and lose my gamble!"
The vermilion door suddenly opened, and the merry boy in a green coat and a folding fan strode out, and the handsome little girl followed carefully behind, with a smug look hidden in her eyes, and she was still holding the twenty taels of silver tightly in her hand.
The young man walked all the way to Xu Feng's face, first looked up and down, and said slowly to Xu Feng with a solemn expression: "To be a man, you must be realistic." ”
Then he didn't say anything, staring at Xu Feng's face tightly, as if he wanted to find some answer on Xu Feng's face.
In the silence, the little girl behind her face was nervous, clutched the silver tighter, and whispered softly in her small mouth, "It's true, it's true, it's true." ”
This time Xu Feng was also confused, and said sincerely: "Sendai trade state, since ancient times, pay attention to credit, I have already paid the silver, Your Excellency is ......"
The young man looked at Xu Feng for a long time, and suddenly shouted in despair: "Evil Star! You are my Evil Star!" Tear the folding fan to pieces, throw it into the air, and walk towards the mouth of Baiyin Alley without looking back!
The little maid standing behind walked to Xu Feng at this time, her face was clouded and misty, and she bloomed with a happy smile, looking at Xu Feng like a life-saving benefactor and saying: My son-in-law is invited, not only does he not charge you rent, but also has a reward!" dragged Xu Feng's sleeves and entered the door.
In the upper area of Sendai, not only are the names of the streets and alleys simple and vulgar, but the names of the mansions are also extremely simple! The house where Xu Feng lives is called "Baiyin No. 1 Courtyard".
Passing through a large bamboo forest, a courtyard with pink walls and tiles appeared in front of you, the door of the main house was closed, and there were two rows of wings behind the left, with special servants leading the way, Xu Feng was arranged in the first room of the wing room on the right, and after a simple cleanup, a little washing, the handsome little maid came with a smile.
Xu Feng hadn't taken a bath for nearly a month, and because he was in a hurry, he looked several years old. At this time, the washing was completed, the tie was neat, and it was a look again, and a sense of indifference emanated from the young scholar.
The little maid opened her mouth to call uncle, but as soon as the big words came out, she saw a Lang Lang young man standing in front of her, and said with a slight shyness on her face: "My son-in-law is invited!"
Xu Feng was invited into the first room on the left, which happened to be opposite Xu Feng's residence.
Stepping into the high threshold, there was only a rectangular table in the empty room, with chairs at each end, and a thin figure standing with a thin back facing the doorway.
turned around, with beautiful eyebrows and eyes, and looked at Xu Feng coldly. The moment the figure turned around, with the intuition of being a human being in two lives, Xu Fengjue's "son" was a woman dressed as a man, and when he saw the beautiful eyebrows and eyes, he was more sure of his judgment.
Since he was called over, of course Xu Feng would not speak first.
The boy regarded Xu Feng as the son of a rich man in the countryside, and he came to Sendai to do things. So, he just looked at Xu Feng coldly, and saw that Xu Feng had no consciousness of being polite at all, so he didn't speak, and his face became colder and colder.
Xu Feng still waited for the "son" to speak with an innocent face.
The unbearable time continued to prolong, and the boy finally spoke: "How much silver will you give you, can you get out of here?"
Xu Fengleng for a moment, then smiled and said, "You can give it a try." ”
The boy said with a mocking face: "One thousand taels!"
One thousand taels of silver! In the countryside, it is enough for a family of three to spend for a lifetime! Xu Feng secretly praised in his heart: "Trench!" and then shook his head silently.
The boy was stunned, as if he was not convinced, and stretched out a finger: "Ten thousand taels!"
This time, Xu Feng shook his head without thinking.
"One hundred thousand taels!"
Xu Feng's head shook even more.
The boy was obviously enraged and deliberately kept calm, but his voice was already a little shaky.
"To tell you the truth, I bet with others that even if the price is high at twenty taels a month, someone will rent this house! I didn't intend to win, but you did help me win the bet" After a short pause, he said: "I don't like people like you, and I don't want you to appear here. ”
Xu Feng finally knew why the young man in green clothes at the gate of the courtyard was tearing his fan and running wildly.
What Xu Feng is most unaccustomed to is bullying people with power and oppressing people with money.
Xu Feng looked at the son on the other side of the table, and said slowly: First of all, the business between you and me has been completed, and the raw rice is cooked and cooked, and if you want to break the contract at this time, it is said that you have no faith!
The state of business, the most afraid of people saying that there is no integrity, the son-in-law first heard the description of "raw rice cooked and matured", and then heard the sentence "is said to be untrustworthy", just about to attack, Xu Feng will give her a chance, and then said: "Secondly, since I have stayed, I am your guest, you called me over, I came, stood for most of the day, did not serve tea, and did not invite to sit down, it is rude!"
"Again, I helped you win the gambling game, that is, I am kind to you, not only do you not want to repay, but also take revenge and drive me away!
"Faithless, rude, shameless, how can there be a person like you in the world, it really makes sense!"
The son-in-law was stunned for a while, and after a long time, how could it be true...... How can this be...... Still buzzing in his head, he was so anxious that he stomped his feet and shouted, "Xiaozhu...... ...... bamboo"
The handsome girl knew that something was wrong when she entered the door, because she had never seen a young lady in such a state, her hands covered her chest, and her face was pale.
The maid Xiaozhu was so frightened that she was about to cry, so she hurriedly ran to her and said with a crying voice: Miss, are you sick again?
The girl's face turned even paler, and she pointed at Xu Feng with a trembling finger angrily, and said intermittently: You ...... You go...... If you don't go, I'll go!
The maid hurriedly carried the son out of the house, and when she walked to the door, she glanced at Xu Feng suspiciously.
Xu Feng returned to his house and began to pack his things.
Xu Feng has an optimistic temperament, and he will take this kind of gambling to heart about sexual matters. The words prevailed, and the matter passed, since the fake husband didn't like him. If you want the money back, just go.
As soon as he packed up and finished the package, the maid Xiaozhu ran over with a frosty face, and said: My little ...... Childe, let me tell you, "If you dare to slip away, you will be beaten back if you don't get out of Baiyin Lane!" From today on, you must live in this courtyard honestly for a month, not even half a day!"
Xu Feng was amused in his heart, and said loudly: Tell your little son - verbose!
In less than a quarter of an hour, the maids, mothers-in-law, servants, and sedan chairs who were waiting for people moved out of the Baiyin No. 1 courtyard one after another, and the empty courtyard was left with only Xu Feng alone!
Xu Feng also inquired about the owner of Silver No. 1 on the street, and vaguely heard that it was the boss of Sendai Shop Wang Wang. Xu Feng guessed that the hot-tempered son-in-law might be Boss Wang's daughter.
Since then, the huge Baiyin No. 1 Courtyard, with more than a dozen houses, Xu Feng lives alone.
After settling in, Xu Feng felt a little tired. He knew in his heart that one cannot think too much and act too little. A lot of things are thought about in the head, but there is no result, and if you insist on coming up with a reason, you will either have damaged nerves or come up with an answer full of loopholes. So Xu Feng changed his practice habits. During the day, I go to the city to see if there is a chance to make a fortune, and at night I work hard in the courtyard to strengthen my physical strength, because the first level of cultivation is enlightenment, and then the foundation is built. Enlightenment is something that is hard to come by. The foundation after enlightenment is a real physical tempering. The diary is only studied when it is experienced again.
There is a stone Xiudun in the yard, every morning, the sky is just numb, Xu Feng will run with a stone bench, sweat profusely, take a bath comfortably, and then quietly meditate for an hour, raise enough energy, and then start the day's activities.
The streets of Sendai Castle are bustling with shops of all kinds. If you earn money, you have to spend it, restaurants, green buildings, and casinos are full of people, and a lot of money is sprinkled out to show your courage, gain everyone's praise, and satisfy the desire to possess, which is a drunken gold fan.
The liveliest place, where wealth is most shown, is the casino. In his previous life, Xu Feng had the opportunity to go to a famous gambling city in the world at that time, so he also wanted to try his luck in Sendai.
Going down along Baiyin Lane, there is a wide block, the avenue is divided into left and right sides, and a canal is a wide one in the middle, similar to the isolation zone of Xu Feng's previous life, with tall weeping willows planted on both sides of the canal, and narrow bridges on the canal to communicate with each other.
The willow tree hides the street more darkly, reflecting the carved beams and painted buildings of each shop, and the golden plaque of Zhumen, which is less noisy and noisy, and more elegant and rich.
Tenichikaku is one of the most famous gambling houses in Sendai, and it is the most famous, not because it is the most luxurious and top-notch, but because it has the best reputation and has been in business for the longest time. The Great Xia Dynasty has a tradition of using water as a metaphor for wealth, and Tianyi Pavilion takes the meaning of "Tiansheng Water", hoping that the wealth will roll in and continue.
