The carriage passed through the streets and alleys all the way, and arrived at Ping'an Lane in the south of the city, and there was a small teahouse at the entrance of the alley.

A thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy was poking his brain at the door of the teahouse, and when he saw Jiaren jumping out of the carriage, he smiled and stepped forward to pat him.

"I thought I could see you when I went to the academy, but I didn't expect you to come first, but why don't you go to my house? You left in a hurry that day, but something happened at home? ”

This young man is a friend of Jiaren's dormitory named Lei Bolin, who is naturally optimistic and cheerful, and he eats and drinks with Jiaren on weekdays, and gets along very closely.

But Jiaren can't say that his mother died, after all, there are too many involved, and he can't say it for a while.

He smiled and said: "School will start soon, and then we will catch up with the old days, I have something to ask you for help today!" ”

Jiaren responded with a smile, and before Lei Bolin could ask again, Li Lao Er and Mr. Wen also got off the carriage.

Jiaren hurriedly introduced, and heard that one of the two was Jiaren's father and the other was Jiaren's teacher, Lei Bolin hurriedly saluted in a proper manner.

Li Lao Er smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "Little sir, Jiaren said that your uncle is a middle-aged man, and he has a lot of good yards in his hands, so we took the liberty to come and disturb him today!" ”

"Uncle is polite, my fellow family is a classmate and friend, you can just call me Bolin." Lei Bolin saluted again, and at the end of the day, when he talked about his uncle, his face was a little more proud, "My uncle is indeed the best person in the south of our city, and the neighbors are willing to ask him for help if they have something." ”

Speaking of which, the Chinese are the intermediaries who buy and sell houses, and the name is better than the teeth of the people who buy and sell people, but they can't run off the ranks of the ninth-rate.

Lei Bolin studied in the academy and had a noble status, but he didn't have any dislike for this ninth-rate uncle, which was really rare to be sensible and reasonable.

Li Lao Er and Mr. Wen glanced at each other, and they were very satisfied with Jiaren, a friend.

Soon, Rebolin led them down an alley behind the teahouse.

The alley is cleaned very clean, there are three on each side of the bluestone road, and there are stones at the door of each house, which are very smooth, and it is obvious that many people sit here and gossip on weekdays.

At the end of the alley, in the small courtyard facing south at the door, there lived Lei Berlin's uncle Sun Fu's family.

Hearing that Li Lao Er and others were his nephew's classmates, Sun Fu was very enthusiastic, and hurriedly beckoned everyone into the house to drink tea and eat snacks, and the smile on his face almost bloomed.

He has eaten more salt than his nephew for decades, and this vision is naturally too "poisonous".

Although the clothes worn by Li Lao Er and Mr. Wen are not satin, the fabric is excellent and the workmanship is fine, which is definitely not an ordinary person.

He secretly made up his mind that he would help well today, and he couldn't lose face to his nephew, maybe he could still make friends with nobles, and it would be convenient everywhere in the future.

Hearing that Li Lao Er wanted to find a small courtyard, it didn't have to be too big but there were more houses, and the neighbors should be friendly, preferably closer to the east of the city, and he was even more determined in his heart.

Because Kyoto will choose Weizhou Prefecture as the new capital, a big reason is that Weizhou Prefecture has a palace.

When the emperor was the first emperor, he came down to the south of the Yangtze River to inspect, he had settled here for a long time, and the palace was built very exquisitely, which was completely the style of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, and directly occupied the entire east of the city.

Or strictly speaking, the Weizhou Mansion was only as big as the north of the city, because the palace was built in the southeast, and the people slowly gathered, so that there was the south of the city and the west of the city, and finally evolved into what it is today.

The Li family wants to buy a courtyard, and it has to be closer to the east of the city, which means that some people in the Li family want to enter the palace often, at least often in and out of the six yamen.

Such golden thighs, but it's too rare, don't care about anything, hug it first.

"Second Master Li, Mr. Wen, it's such a coincidence that you two came. Our yard was recently going to be sold, but the owner was old and had no children, and was going to go to his nephew. We have been old neighbors for many years, and we get along well, and the homeowner is reluctant to leave for a while. If the second master thinks that our alley is good, I will immediately go and help ask, how about it? ”

Without waiting for Li Lao Er to speak, Lei Bolin had already pulled Jiaren's arm and shouted happily, "Haha, Jiaren will be neighbors in the future, and the academy will be on vacation, so we can come back together." ”

Jiaren also smiled, but said: "My family bought a yard to settle down when I take exams in the future, and for the time being, I am afraid that I will not be able to live here for the past two years." ”

Lei Bolin was a little disappointed, but fortunately Jiaren said, "But in the last two years, I will come back often." ”

Reblin was happy again, and talked about where there was fun in the neighborhood and what food was delicious.

Sun Fu sighed in his heart when he heard this, it was already very good to look at his nephew on weekdays, but compared to the young man of the Li family, it was still a big difference.

At least no one is stable, no one is thoughtful.

Li Lao Er thought about it, and then picked up Mr. Wen, all the way here, only a quarter of an hour by carriage.

And this alley is quiet, easy to enter, and the neighbors are good, so it should not be easy to find such a place again.

He made up his mind and asked Sun Fu to help inquire.

As a result, after a while, Sun Fu came back with a smile and took them to see the yard.

The old couple who sold the yard liked to read the book the most, and when they heard that it was the little gentleman of Luo'an Academy who wanted to buy the yard, they immediately agreed.

At this moment, the two warmly beckoned everyone to walk around the courtyard.

In front of the yard are two storefronts, rented to a young couple to open a grocery store, but the shop is not connected with the backyard, which ensures the privacy of both parties' lives.

There are three main rooms in the courtyard, two east and west wings, and the ear room can be used as a warehouse and stove room.

There is a moon gate on the left side of the main house leading to the back half of the small garden, and a well was dug in the corner, some flowers and plants were planted, and the back door was opened for weekday access.

Li Lao Er took a fancy to it almost immediately.

There are enough rooms, the family has a place to live, the front shop is taken back later, and it is convenient to open a small business at home.

The old couple was familiar with Sun Fu, and after Li Lao Er also promised that he would take good care of the courtyard where they had lived for half their lives in the future, they offered a price of five hundred and fifty taels.

This price is much more expensive than before.

But now that this is the new capital, there are suddenly too many people crowded in, and housing prices are rising, and this price is very reasonable.

Li Lao Er settled down at that time, and even took advantage of the fact that the yamen was not on a bad trip, so he went directly to change gears and wrote the deed in Jiaren's name.

Before dusk enveloped the whole city, this small courtyard was Jiaren's.

Lei Berlin was so envious that he was asking Jiaren to treat him to delicious food, which made everyone laugh.

The old couple still had to pack up their things, and asked the Li family to let them stay for an extra day.

Of course, Li Lao Er agreed, and told them to clean up slowly and not be in a hurry, but Mr. Wen should move in immediately, so that he can go to court tomorrow.

The old couple didn't expect that Mr. Wen, who had always been quiet and easy-going, was actually the lord of the imperial history of the dynasty, and they were so surprised that they hurriedly picked up the wing room and helped Mr. Wen settle down first.

Mr. Wen didn't refuse, and he didn't even say a few polite words to Li Laoer.

Previously, when he got out of the carriage, Li Lao Er said that he wanted to buy a yard and prepare for the exam in the future, and he guessed that this was an excuse.

In fact, the Li family bought a yard just to settle down for him.

If he refuses, won't that ruin the Li family's heart to protect him?!

You must know that his own father and mother are not like this, but the Li family has done it, how precious it is to him.

Thousands of words of thanks, it is better to keep them in mind, the coming days are long, and the gratitude will come slowly.

In the future, the Li family will be his second home......
