Chapter 204: Renting a Separate House

The woods are quiet and noisy, with a few cicadas chirping from time to time, as if to remind them that summer is approaching.

Fu Jiulan didn't go far away, he went to another forest, picked a thick tree, jumped up in a few steps, and stood on top of one of the branches.

"Master, how are you doing?"

A man dressed in black stood beside Fu Jiulan like a phantom, silently, not even a bird was alarmed.

"That's not what you should be concerned about, what happened to what I asked you to look into?"

Fu Jiulan's face sank and went straight to the point.

"You let your subordinates keep an eye on Zuo Qingyun's movements, and report it as soon as there is a wind blowing and the grass is low. Yesterday, when his subordinates saw him enter the palace to meet him, they asked the people in the palace to inquire about it, and learned that he had gone to see the second prince, so they immediately came to report to you."

The man in black stood not far behind Fu Jiulan, his voice was not loud or small, just enough to reach his ears.

At this time, Fu Jiulan listened to the reply of his subordinates, and stared at Leng Wan who was picking mushrooms not far away, as if he was afraid that she would disappear in front of him without paying attention.

"What did he do when he went to see the second prince?"

With a sharp gaze, Fu Jiulan asked.

"This ...... The subordinates were incompetent and did not find out."

The person behind him arched his hand and said apologetically.

"Okay, I see."

Fu Jiulan didn't say anything, just waved his hand to signal that today's meeting was over.

When he returned to Leng Wan's side, she had already finished collecting the mushrooms, took out a small pot, and put it on the firewood.

"When did the lady bring the pot? How did I not know?"

While walking towards her, Fu Jiulan asked with a smile.

"Why did you go for a long time? Could it be that you are constipated? Do you want me to prescribe you some decoction for constipation?"

While concentrating on adding firewood, Leng Wan laughed.

"I'm tired of the lady, it's okay for the husband's stomach." Fu Jiulan replied.

After drinking the mushroom soup and eating the cakes, the two rested for a while before returning to the road.

Passing through this forest, there are several single-family farmhouses not far away.

Although it is a mud house, the courtyard wall is a little broken, but this place is repaired, and it looks like it can still live for some time.

"Where to ask, this house is in a good location, even if there is really an enemy who wants to come to the door, it will take some effort."

Leng Wan looked around, touched her chin and said.

Nodding, Fu Jiulan took the lead in going up and knocking on the door.

Buckle the firewood lightly, and after a while, a woman dressed as a village woman came out.

"What's the matter with the two of you?"

"Hello eldest sister, we have just come to Kyoto from other places to join relatives. Unexpectedly, when we came, our relatives had already moved and could not be found. We don't know half of us in this huge Kyoto, so we want to rent a house to settle down in."

"When I got here, I happened to see a notice posted outside your house. That's why I took the liberty of asking you if you were going to sell this house."

made up a reasonable reason, no matter what the village woman thought, she couldn't hear the flaw.

Sure enough, hearing that Leng Wan was pitiful, she looked at the two of them again, and the village woman hurriedly welcomed them in.

"Big sister, I didn't say it, this place is a little remote, do you really want to buy it?"

The village woman was a sincere person, and poured a bowl of tea for each of them before asking.

"To tell you the truth, my husband and I came from out of town and met robbers on the road. There was no money in the first place, and now it is even worse. So we are satisfied to have a place to stay. As for the rest, we'll talk about that later."

Looking at Leng Wan beside her, she showed that sad look that I saw pity, and even Fu Jiulan had to sigh that her acting skills were superb.

"You're a poor man, too."

The village woman sighed with emotion, and hurriedly patted the back of Leng Wan's hand to show comfort.

"Your eldest brother went to Kyoto a few years ago

I went to business, and now that I have saved some money, I bought a small house in the workshop. I thought that if the children and I were to be taken over now, if the children were going to go to the academy in the future, they would be able to get a few better gentlemen."

Seeing Leng Wan and sincere, the village woman had nothing to hide, and bluntly said the reason why she was moving out.

Listening to her words, Leng Wan couldn't help but feel glad for her child.

In this era, there is no poor family in the upper grade, and there is no scholar in the lower grade.

The children of ordinary people can only inherit their father's business and accept exploitation for the rest of their lives.

Moreover, the cost of education in this era is not cheap, and parents at home have to save money when sending several children to private schools.

"The eldest sister should really be a visionary."

This sentence is not a compliment, but a genuine compliment from Leng Wan.

"Come on, big sister, look at you and your husband, this house is of no other use to us. Just fold half of the silver, and you can give me five taels of silver."

A house can be bought for only five taels of silver.

Leng Wan converted it, and felt even more distressed about the untouched meal at the wine store last night.

happily paid the money and bought the house, and before leaving, Fu Jiulan spent a few taels of silver to buy the village woman's ox cart.

Although the old ox can no longer be used to plough the land, it is fortunate that it is docile and can be used to pull ox carts.

Leng Wan lay in the car, with her head on her arm, and a dog's tail grass in her mouth.

Looking up at the clear blue sky, she couldn't help but wonder if what she saw was still the same sky after a thousand years.

"Husband."

Leng Wan suddenly opened her mouth and called Fu Jiulan.

"What's wrong?" Fu Jiulan, who was leading the ox cart in front, turned his head to look at her and asked.

"No, I just wanted to ask you, what will happen to us in a thousand years?"

This question suddenly appeared in her mind, and Leng Wan wanted to ask Fu Jiulan without thinking.

"A thousand years later? At that time, we died like a lamp going out, and a handful of white bones turned into dirt, where do we know anything?" Fu Jiulan replied with a smile.

"It's also ......."

Leng Wan was suddenly a little sad, thousands of years later, she was still the divine medical agent, born and died in various tasks, but there was no Fu Jiulan around her who was holding the oxcart for her.

was startled by the sudden sadness of herself, and Leng Wan couldn't help patting her head.

What was she thinking? Even if it wasn't a thousand years later, she and Fu Jiulan would have to separate sooner or later, and from then on, they would be strangers.

"If it is a thousand years later, we still have memories of reincarnation, maybe I still miss this afternoon." Fu Jiulan suddenly said softly.

A breeze blew away his voice, and Leng Wan didn't hear anything, so she could only ask again.

"What did you just say?"

"It's nothing, I'll have to find a place to buy you a pair of soft-soled shoes when I go back this time. These cloth shoes are tiring to walk and are not for you." Fu Jiulan increased his volume and replied.

"Well, not really."

Raising his feet to take a look, he narrowed his eyes coldly.
