After calculating the money with the shopkeeper, Zheng Xiong and his party just wanted to go to the inn.

I saw my neighbors who were hurrying back.

"Childe, the city gate is closed, and you can't get out."

Hearing the reason, Zheng Xiong's eyes looked at Hu Xu, after all, the boss of Ying County was by his side, and how to get it still depends on Hu Xu's arrangement.

"Close the city gate at dark and open the city gate at dawn, this is the rule, you can't violate it, so let's let people hang you down from the city tower, you see how it is."

"As long as I can go home, I can do anything, thank you, sir."

Inviting guests to dinner and entertaining neighbors is the proper meaning, accommodation is still forgotten, and money cannot be messed around, just arrange it well.

In a small episode, Zheng Xiong and his entourage successfully checked into the inn, chose a room, several waves of people parted ways, and Hu Xu had already left.

Outside the door, Zheng Xiong teased Wei Hong as usual.

"Or, let's squeeze the two of you tonight, and leave an extra room for your younger brothers, otherwise the four of them will be too crowded."

Glancing at Zheng Xiong, Wei Hong went directly into the room he had opened.

Zheng Xiong, who didn't get a reply, was not annoyed, that is, one step earlier and one step later, walked into the room, washed up a little, and lay down the corpse, after all, he had never been so tired.

Wei Hong in the other room was in the room, touching, touching, the experience of just a few days was really dreamlike.

After a while, he ran to his brother's room, scolded him, and then asked a few people to wash up and sleep.

Seeing a few little brothers lying on the bed obediently, he went back to his room.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next day, early in the morning, Wang Xing also hurried away with his entourage.

Zheng Xiong also got up early in the morning, Wang Xing left, and he had to send it anyway.

I took a group of people to have breakfast and came to the county office.

"Brother Nian, I don't know if the house has been settled."

"My lord, I already have eyebrows, a total of five houses, the price is about the same as what the adults said, I don't know what the adults like, and the adults have to choose it themselves."

"Thank you, but I have the address, I'll take a look."

"Xiaguan is just fine, let's accompany the adults."

If you are so enthusiastic, it will be even better, as for the words of nothing, just listen to it, and it depends on whether the officials want to have something to do or not.

As long as you enjoy the convenience brought by the right.

"Brother Nian is too polite, I'll just go by myself, it's not okay to delay Brother Nian's time."

"It's okay, it's okay, please."

"Alright! Please. ”

When he came to Yaxing, Hu Xu had already made arrangements, and when he saw Hu Xu's arrival, the head of Yaxing took a step forward.

"What do you command?"

"Aren't there five houses for sale? Take the official over to have a look. ”

"Later, my lord, I'll go get the key."

The tooth shop is the intermediary and middleman in ancient times.

The car and ship shop should be killed if they are not guilty, and they are talking about the sharp teeth and treacherous cunning of these people in the industry.

As a kind of middleman, the existence of the tooth shop, like the modern intermediary, is only divided into official teeth and ordinary teeth, and the official tooth category has an official background.

Of course, Tooth is not only a middleman, providing buying and selling services.

It also undertakes some government functions.

Report to the local government on the flow of merchants, collect taxes on commodities, and supervise the direction of strategic resources such as copper, iron, and grain.

In the Ming and Qing dynasties, the role of the tooth shop can be said to be indispensable because of commodity trade.

At this time, Zheng Xiong bought a house, and it was very convenient to find a middleman like a tooth shop.

After waiting for a while, the head of the tooth shop personally took Zheng Xiong and Hu Xu and his party to see the house.

Come to a mansion and open the door.

"My lord, please see, this mansion belongs to Liu Daguan's family, and he went to the capital to do business a few days ago, but somehow, his house was raided and put on our behalf for sale."

It's a little familiar, it shouldn't be such a coincidence, Zheng Xiong thought a little embarrassed.

"Well, let's talk about the layout."

"The front gate is separated by a wall, and in front is a porch house, which has four rooms, please come with me."

Inside, the verbal description is not as intuitive as the live viewing.

The courtyard style of the Song Dynasty is similar to the courtyard houses of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the difference between the buildings in the north and the south is still quite large, and there is no small bridge and flowing water in the south, which is poetic and picturesque.

It is mainly practical, the left and right partial rooms, that is, the corridor house, bear the responsibility of the corridor, and the main house is opposite, the living room, the study, and the wing room.

Zheng Xiong looked at it at a glance, he was still quite satisfied, there were tables, chairs and benches, obviously the house was not collected, and it was still sold if it was kept here, and it might be sold at a good price.

"How much does this song house cost?"

"One hundred taels, all the utensils in the room are included."

It's OK, it's equivalent to a hardcover house, move in with a bag, and the house price is not high, the house price in the normal county is just right, and there is no more.

"Okay, let's go check out a few other places!"

"Please come with me, sir."

Then he followed the head of the tooth shop to visit four other houses, but none of them were as good as the first one.

It's either too small, or the price is too high, or Liu Daguan's house is the most in line with Zheng Xiong's expectations.

"As for the first one, the mansion of Liu Daguan's family, these are not satisfactory."

"Yes, sir."

A deed is a type of contract, and according to today's standards, it should be a contract for the sale and purchase of a house.

In ancient times, there was often only one deed, and it would only indicate who the seller was, who the middleman and the handler were, and generally would not appear in the buyer's name, and the deed would be handed over to the buyer for collection after the sale was completed.

Therefore, in ancient China, once the deed was lost, the person who found the deed could call himself the buyer and ask the occupants of the house to vacate it.

Even in court, it may be difficult for the actual owner of the house to win the lawsuit if he cannot get an intermediary, a handler, or even the original owner to testify.

Since the deed is in the hands of the government, as long as the yahang or the county government comes forward to register and send the deed over.

These little things, just have a word from the boss of a county, and Zheng Xiong doesn't have to worry about it at all.

"Brother Nian, I still have to trouble Brother Nian to help with these matters, I don't know what difficulties there are."

"No, it's a trifle."

When the deed was in hand, Zheng Xiong's heart couldn't help but feel a strange feeling, he was not a house slave in the later generations, but he became a house-owning family in this life.

It's different from the shop given by my father, even if it's not a permanent residence, it's my own home.

At this point, there was not much left of the silver money brought out of the house plus the fifty taels of silver borrowed from Zhang Huaiyuan.

handed over the silver money in his hand to Hu Xu, and Zheng Xiong pulled Hu Xu aside.

"Brother Nian, I'll discuss something with you."

"Your Excellency, please speak."

"I came out in a hurry, I was shy after buying a house, can I borrow some money."

I have to say that Zheng Xiong is quite thick-skinned, and if he borrows money, he will come as soon as he opens his mouth, regardless of how long the two parties have only known each other.

However, Zheng Xiong is an official anyway, and it is trivial to borrow some money from this official, the difference is that it is always a personal favor.

"How much do adults need?"

"How many do you have?"

"Ten taels of silver."

Well, less is a little less, but no matter how small the mosquito is, it is meat, and if you want to get married, you have to spend some money after all.

"Lend me all, and I will pay you back twice as much in the future."

"Adults take it, and it's the same when it's convenient to give it at hand."

This brother, I recognized, is faster than borrowing money in later generations, of course, the condition of identity is also a very important factor.

The money spent was replenished, and after bidding farewell to nonsense, Zheng Xiong took Wei Hong's sisters and brothers to buy some tables, chairs, benches, pots and pans, rice, flour, grain and oil and other daily necessities in the city.

The role of the bodyguards is also useful at this time, carrying a bag for Zheng Xiong.

At noon, I dealt with a few mouthfuls at random, and I was busy until the sun set in the afternoon, and the configuration in the house was much richer.

Wei Hong got busy early, and a large bowl of noodles was presented in front of Zheng Xiong.

It's another day of labor, Zheng Xiong is tired and happy, and a day's fatigue is nothing at this time.

After eating and drinking, I talked to Wei Hong for a while, and then went to wash.

In this era when there is no entertainment, it is not the time to make a baby, and there is nothing to do except sleep.

Wei Hong's little brothers lay on the bed and looked at the oil lamp on the table, whispering quietly.

"Isn't this our home in the future?"

"Yes, my brother-in-law seems to have said that he bought it for us to live in, he is from Yingtianfu, and he should still go back."

"Our eldest sister is also going to Ying Tianfu, think about it, it's still a little exciting~ sad?"

"Yes, if the eldest sister leaves, will we starve to death?"

"No, isn't my brother-in-law's secret recipe for thirteen incense going to be handed over to us?"

"That should starve to death."

"What are you thinking, the eldest sister hasn't married yet? Sleep fast. ”

The oil lamp was blown out, and the brothers quickly fell asleep.

Wei Hong has insomnia again, and every day, he doesn't give himself room to relax.

It's a new day, and Zheng Xiong rarely hasn't slept continuously.

I did a set of broadcast gymnastics as usual, and smoke rose from the stove in charge of Wei Hong, but the location was different, and it was replaced by my own home.

After breakfast, Zheng Xiong said to Wei Hong.

"I'm leaving today, waiting for me to come back."

"What's wrong, why are you leaving?"

"Work to support your family, how to feed you every day."

"Uh~"

Wei Hong's face showed a look of loss.

"What an expression is this, smile."

Barely squeezing out a smile, Wei Hong said seriously.

"I don't know what kind of official you are, and I don't want to know, be careful in everything, don't be reckless, I'm waiting for you to marry me at home."

"Well, this is five taels of silver, you take it, don't save me money, eat and drink well, replenish your body well, and when I come back, give me a big fat boy, do you know?"

Facing Zheng Xiong, who was starting to get sick again, Wei Hong had no other thoughts at the moment, and suddenly wanted to leave, which made Wei Hong's heart feel stunned, and said softly.

"Hmm."

"Can you kiss me before you go?"

The request was a bit excessive, but when he saw Zheng Xiong's incomparably clear eyes, when he was leaving, he couldn't refuse ruthlessly.

Everyone on the side unconsciously turned their eyes to Wei Hong and Zheng Xiong, making Wei Hong's face full of redness again, and said softly.

"Let's go inside."

"Where?"

"Room."

"Okay."
