Chapter 0011, Shizuka House.
"Yu Yan, we just arrived in Jeju and have set up a place to settle down. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
After half a month of long-distance travel, Cui Wen and his entourage came to Jeju Jingcheng. When I entered Jeju that day, I almost didn't cause panic among the people.
Fengchen, that is, the blade.
Although he is only a little-known leader of the forbidden army, his momentum is extraordinary, and the forbidden army is all people who practice martial arts, full of military atmosphere, and ordinary people are like snakes and scorpions when they see it.
In the package that Mr. Midsummer asked Lin Yuyan to hand over to Cui Wen, although there were a lot of silver taels, it was still a little difficult to feed a small group of forbidden troops.
"Hey, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, so let's find a place to stay before making plans. ”
Jeju Kyungseong Gaeinjing Academy was built here, and it is extremely prosperous, but the city of Daegyong is still like this.
Naturally, real estate is even tighter, and the price is ridiculously high.
"Yu Yan, come and see..."Cui Wen took Lin Yuyan to a place similar to a modern real estate agency, browsing the relevant information.
"It's too expensive. Looking at the property price that Lieluo came out, Lin Yuyan shook her head.
The highest mansion actually reached a thousand taels of gold, and Cui Wen shouted robbery.
Even the lowest is as high as tens of thousands of taels of silver.
Cui Wen currently only has 10,000 taels of silver, and he still has to support himself and take care of twenty forbidden army brothers.
Cui Wen himself is a first-order scholar, and he still has a literary temperament, but the brothers of the forbidden army are all mortals, and they are martial arts practitioners, so the amount of food is not small.
"Young master, look..."Just when Cui Wen was embarrassed, Lin Yuyan suddenly said in surprise: "What do you think of this mansion? It is also close to Jing Academy, and the price is only a thousand taels of silver." ”
A thousand taels of silver?
Cui Wen hurriedly took a look, and it was really as Lin Yuyan said. This house is located near Jing Academy, which is not only spacious but also has a special garden, which is really rare.
But the fly in the ointment is that the buyer must be a woman, and a young and beautiful woman.
"Shopkeeper, where is this mansion, can you send an entourage to take me to take a look?" Cui Wen said, pointing to the mansion named 'Shizuka Mansion'.
The shopkeeper was an old man who was over the age of six, and pushed the eyes on the bridge of his nose: "Childe, it is clearly destined that a young and beautiful woman can only buy it." ”
Cui Wen was happy at that time, how much attention was paid to buying a house?
However, since it is the seller's request and the price is cheap, Cui Wen didn't care too much.
"Yu Yan, come here. ”
"Oh, what's wrong?" Lin Yuyan was puzzled.
Cui Wen pulled Lin Yuyan into the store and said to the old shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, it's time to meet the requirements now, right?"
The shopkeeper lowered his head, his eyes fell on Lin Yuyan from above the frame, and after taking a closer look, he said, "It does meet the requirements, but the buyer must put this girl's name on it." ”
"Of course. Cui Wen agreed without even thinking about it.
"Young master, don't..."Lin Yuyan gently tugged Cui Wen's arm.
As if sensing Lin Yuyan's thoughts, Cui Wen gently took her into his arms: "Fool, I said that day, if he meets again one day, I will take you as his wife." Is this mansion a dowry?"
"Hmm. Lin Yuyan struggled slightly, fell into Cui Wen's arms, and nodded slightly, very cute.
And the scene of the two of them falling into the eyes of the old shopkeeper made him sigh lightly.
Immediately, he dissuaded again: "This son, do you really want to buy Shizuka Mansion?"
Well?
Could it be that there is something strange in it?
If you think about it, Shizuka House not only occupies a large area, but also has a cherry blossom garden carefully cultivated by the previous owner. Whether it is from the geographical location or the area of land, it is not something that can be bought for a thousand taels of silver.
"To tell you the truth, Shizuka Mansion has died tragically in the family since the death of the first owner, and the death is extremely terrible. The old shopkeeper seemed to have palpitations, and his body trembled slightly: "Every time darkness falls in that mansion, it makes extremely terrifying sounds. On the second day, he found his master dead at home, bleeding all over his body. ”
Is it any wonder that a huge mansion is only worth a thousand taels?
Cui Wen's soul comes from modern times, but he doesn't believe in ghosts and gods. Even if there are ghosts, it's man-made.
He himself is a scholar, and Lin Yuyan is a third-order scholar, and he has war poems in hand. Coupled with the twenty forbidden army brothers, they are really not afraid of demons and monsters.
The shopkeeper's well-meaning boy knew, but he was shy in his pocket, so he could only buy this house first. Cui Wenwan refused the shopkeeper's persuasion: "Then help us go through the formalities." ”
"Alas... All right. The old shopkeeper sighed and began to prepare for the handover.
The house is empty, no one cares about it all the year round, and the handover of procedures is quite smooth. The two parties sign each other's papers, and the buyer and seller each hold a piece of paper, and the title deed is naturally handed over to the buyer.
After handing over a thousand taels of silver, Cui Wen led Hefeng and a group of forbidden army brothers to Shizuka Mansion in a mighty way.
Shizuka House is located in the southeast corner of Jingcheng, four or five miles before the east city gate, is located outside the Jingcheng famous academy, Jing Academy.
Gu Bai Ju is easy to have poems: I also know that the official house is not my house, and digging the mountain cherry blossoms are planted in the courtyard;
At this time, the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, and before you enter the house, the fragrance overflows into your nose.
Gardening and flower appreciation is a literati preference, for Hefeng, who has practiced martial arts since childhood, there is no difference. Those who practice martial arts are especially accurate in predicting danger, especially those who have been trained on the battlefield.
"Be on guard!" He Feng gave an order, and the twenty forbidden soldiers immediately dispersed, surrounding Cui Wen's frame in the center.
"Have you arrived?" Cui Wen leaned out of the car window and saw Hefeng and the others as if they were facing a great enemy, and he was puzzled: "Brother Hefeng, why are you so nervous?"
"Young master, please wait a moment, I'll come when I go. He Feng did not say where the dangerous aura came from, and entered the mansion with five forbidden soldiers.
Cui Wen stepped out of the carriage and walked into the mansion surrounded by the remaining forbidden legions.
The floor of the house is very neat, not like an uninhabited desolate abandonment. Although the ground is covered with cherry blossoms, it has a different view.
"Wow, that's beautiful. Seeing such a beautiful scenery, Lin Yuyan couldn't help but exclaim.
Cui Wen looked around aimlessly, not noticing any danger. The house is often cleaned, and it looks extremely clean, which is somewhat unexpected.
"Young Master, it's me who is too nervous, and there is no danger. At this time, Hefeng went and returned.
"Brother Hefeng, you can just call me Cui Wen, they are all from your own family, and you don't pay so much attention to it. Hefeng shouted one young master after another, and Cui Wen really felt awkward.
Hefeng still insisted: "Young master, after Cui Shuai Zhaoxue in the coming day, we still have to call you Young Marshal." ”
The reason why Hefeng fought back was because he had been a soldier under Cui Wen's father, but for other reasons, he could not continue to serve in the Cui family's army, but he also escaped.
Seeing that he insisted, Cui Wen didn't care anymore and said, "The house here is spacious enough, Brother Hefeng, you can look at the arrangement." ”
Immediately, Cui Wen took Lin Yuyan and several forbidden soldiers to the market to buy daily necessities.
"Alas. Cui Wen sighed and thought in his heart: "Now it's better to be alone, come and go with heart, and take the sky as the time to be seated by the earth, but I feel constrained." ”
Maybe you don't need a maid to serve you now, but you have to have a cook who can cook, and you have to have a servant who cleans the courtyard, right?
All of this comes at a pretty good cost!
Cui Wen seems to have inherited the habit of spending money from various otaku in his previous life, as long as he likes it, the seller will pay as much as he says, and he will not bargain at all.
Later, Cui Wen said that spending money was like running water.
I secretly thought in my heart, if I can't get in and out, I'm afraid that my big gang of people will starve to death.
"How do you make money?" Cui Wen thought as he walked.
In his previous life, Cui Wen made money by writing novels, and it seems that he still has to do his old job in this life. But the Wenwu Continent is different from modern society, and there are some things that I don't understand and are not interested in.
In ancient times, people believed in gods and worshiped saints, and demons and monsters were things that people feared and wanted to know.
"Ghosts say that there may be a good market. Cui Wen combed through the history of the Wenwu Continent, and there seems to be no record of the history of the Ming and Qing dynasties.
The novels of the Ming and Qing dynasties are the most famous, such as the Four Great Classics.
War, love, male ambition, and ghost talk have many famous publications.
"The four famous works are too unbelievable, and there is no record, if they are passed out for no reason, I am afraid that they will be dragged to dissect and study. ”
Cui Wen racked his brains, and a famous novel about ghosts and monsters in modern society suddenly popped up in his mind - "Notes on Tomb Robbery".
"Notes on Tomb Robbery" is about a thrilling adventure, and there is no shortage of people's exploration of demons and monsters, as long as it is slightly modified, it must have a large market.
Cui Wen decided to write some short stories to cultivate readers and open up the market, and then gradually move closer to famous novels.
In his previous life, Cui Wen himself did this, and there was no shortage of strange ideas in his mind, especially about the speculation and exploration of the gods, which was even richer.
But the current problem is not just a lack of money.
When he learns that he is going to work in Shizuka's house, whether he is a cook or a servant, he will get nothing.
The people of Jingcheng have a natural fear of Shizuka's house, and some of them are not afraid of death, or those who steal into the house driven by curiosity also end well.
Now when people in Jingcheng mention Shizuka House, they are all avoiding snakes and scorpions.
