The night is fading, the sun is rising, a new day is coming, the gate of Xin'an City is opened, people come and go, and it is not lively.

Xin'an City, with a population of 100,000 households, far exceeds the Qiancheng with a population of less than 2,000 households, and its status and prosperity are not comparable to the Qiancheng.

The ten-zhang high city wall, at a glance, you can see that it is an elite city defender, and then look at the merchants who pull all kinds of goods in and out, all of which indicate the prosperity of Sin'an City.

A slightly dilapidated ox cart, driven by a woman with a leather whip in her hand, and behind it, two little girls, one older and one younger, were sitting, and by their similar appearances they were sisters of the same mother.

Next to the ox cart, there were two people, a middle-aged man and a teenager, who were talking to the people on the ox cart, obviously they knew each other.

Without paying any fees, under the watchful eye of the soldiers defending the city, the ox cart followed the crowd into Sin'an City.

Passed through the bustling street, away from the noise of the crowds. I only heard the young man say, "Uncle Han, what are we doing here?"

Han Daquan replied: "Rent a house." ”

According to the information asked earlier, they came to the door of a house, and Uncle Han stepped forward and knocked on the somewhat dilapidated door.

"Is anyone home?"

Bang bang

With a creak, the door opened, revealing the true faces of the people inside.

Dressed in washed and somewhat pale clothes, the man's face was a little pale and thin, and there was no excess flesh on his hands.

"Who are you, and why are you here?"

The voice was a little weak, and it was clearly not in good health.

Uncle Han looked at him, and then said, "May I ask you are Xu Fengshao's son, right?"

"It's here, I don't know what the brother is looking for me?"

Ning Xin listened on the sidelines, feeling awkward for a while, I have been here for more than a month, although most of the time is on the road, but I have also come into contact with a lot of people, I have never seen someone talk like this, I feel very awkward.

Uncle Han didn't seem to be a little inapplicable, and he didn't want to say anything, so he got straight to the point: "I want to rent your house, how can I rent it?"

Xu Fengshao did not answer immediately, but opened the door completely and said to them, "Please come in first." ”

Uncle Han didn't hesitate, and went in directly, Ning Xin and the others followed, and the ox cart also rushed in.

"I have something to leave recently, and I probably won't be coming back here, so I want to sell the house instead of renting it. ”

Uncle Han thought about it secretly in his heart and asked, "How do you plan to sell it?"

"Thirty taels of silver. ”

"Thirty taels!"

Thirty taels of silver is not a small amount, enough for an ordinary family, three meals a day, and seven or eight years.

Seeing Uncle Han's surprised gaze, Xu Fengshao was a little ashamed, but he was really shy now. But it was not for nothing that he asked for thirty taels of silver.

"Please wait. ”

After a while, Xu Fengshao returned.

"This is the title deed of this house and the Moxiang Book House, as long as thirty taels, they are all yours. ”

Xu Fengshao pushed a wooden box to Han Daquan.

Ning Xin felt that something was wrong, thirty taels was indeed a lot, if an ordinary person could use it for most of his life, but it was probably far from enough to buy this big house and the so-called Moxiang Book House.

On the way to Xin'ancheng, Ning Xin learned from Uncle Han that Xin'ancheng is the largest and most prosperous city in Xingmin Prefecture except for Qingcang Mansion.

If you want to buy a house here, you need at least 100 taels of silver, which is why Uncle Han wanted to rent a house instead of buying it in the first place.

Obviously, Uncle Han also knows this truth, so he naturally hesitated, not knowing whether to buy it or not.

However, in the end, he was moved.

"Thirty taels is too much, we are just ordinary people, there are not so many. ”

Hearing this, Xu Fengshao hesitated a little, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "Twenty-five taels, as long as you take out twenty-five taels, this title deed will be given to you." ”

He is also helpless, his house and Moxiang Book House, in terms of value, where can he buy it for only twenty-five taels of silver?

But this time is different from the past, his parents are dead, the slaves in the family are scattered, and he does not have the ability and heart to run the Moxiang Book House.

In the past, my father's partners, close friends, were afraid of being implicated by my father, and they seemed to have changed overnight, like strangers, and even fell into the trap for him.

As long as he gets these twenty-five taels of silver, he can go north to Anzi to participate in the scientific examination, and after winning the championship, it will be the time for his Xu family to clear their grievances!

Han Daquan looked at him, he didn't lower the price anymore, he didn't want to force a person who was about to be cornered.

"Deal, then twenty-five taels of silver. ”

The two phases are handed over, and each is satisfied.

"In that case, this is yours, leave down here. ”

As he spoke, Xu Fengshao was about to get up.

Han Daquan said: "If the little brother doesn't have a place to live, he might as well live here first." ”

Xu Fengshao paused, showed a smiling face, and said, "No need, thank you!"

Then he took a bag and left straight away.

It seems that he has already prepared to leave.

Press Xu Fengshao all the way north to Anzi, wanting to win the imperial examination, wash away the family grievances, and not mention Han Daquan and his party.

Ning Xin knew very early on that Uncle Han was not an ordinary person, an ordinary hunter, and he would not have the determination and perseverance to drag his family and come to Xin'an City thousands of miles away, let alone be willing to spend twenty-five taels of silver to buy a place to live and a book house.

Although he didn't know why Uncle Han did this, Ning Xin knew that Uncle Han must have his intentions in doing this, as long as he knew that Uncle Han had no ill will towards him.

This house is not small, but all kinds of furniture decoration has long been gone, and they don't care about this, so they packed up a few rooms and moved in.

The things on the ox cart naturally could not be lost, although those things were not valuable, but they contained memories of their past.

In the afternoon, Xia Ni, Han Xiaoyun and Xiaolu'er were busy cleaning up their new home, while Ning Xin followed Uncle Han to Moxiang Bookstore.

On the way, Ning Xin didn't ask much, he knew that when Uncle Han wanted to tell him, he would naturally tell him, if he didn't want to tell him, even if he asked, it would be in vain.

Moxiang Book House is located in a luxurious area, not far from Minglin Academy, and there are many book houses selling pen, ink, paper and inkstone around.

Many readers come in and out of the bookstore, which shows the prosperity of its business.

Ning Xin felt that in fact, it was not a bad thing for Uncle Han to buy this Moxiang Book House, and in the future, he would open his door to do business and sell some pen, ink, paper, inkstone or something, which would naturally not make less money, and it would also save them from sitting on the mountain in the future.

Before Xu Fengshao left, in addition to handing over the title deed to them, the key to the house and the book house would naturally not be forgotten.

When I opened the door of the bookstore, a dull breath emanated from it, making people not feel stagnant.

It would be better to open all the doors and windows of the study room and ventilate it.

Ning Xin looked at the empty bookstore with only the two of them, and couldn't help asking, "Uncle Han, how do you plan to run this bookstore?"

Uncle Han didn't answer immediately, but took some pen, ink, paper, and inkstones, locked the Moxiang Library, and then returned to the mansion again.

Although Ning Xin was puzzled, he didn't ask much, so he could only follow Uncle Han back with full of doubts.

"Ning Xin, come with me to the study. ”

Back at the house, Uncle Han gave a direct order, and at this time, Ning Xin suddenly had a feeling that Uncle Han in front of him was not a simple and bullying hunter, but a high-spirited hero who pointed out the country!
