Chapter 016: The Ancient House
Seeing that Hua Rujin had been looking at the noisy county office, Shu Jinxuan immediately saw her intentions and asked worriedly: "Cousin, don't you also want to be a lawyer?" ”
Hua Rujin just smiled and didn't say anything.
"It's not a good job."
Shu Jinxuan looked at the noisy county yamen and slowly frowned:
"Don't say anything about offending people, you won't be able to earn a few silver, not to mention that you are still a daughter's family, where can you toss like them, but not everyone can achieve the position of the four famous mouths in Jiangling City, and the experience of those down-and-out scholars over there is the norm,
Besides, the women who dare to do this are either self-proclaimed to have some talents and are thick-skinned enough to fall into the Qinglou, or they are fearless widows, and the rest are those who are the sons and daughters of powerful and monstrous families, who come out to meddle in their affairs and have fun. ”
After thinking about it, he said very seriously: "You used to accompany me and my eldest brother to sort medicinal materials when you were studying in our school, I remember that you could write some simple prescriptions at that time, and even the eldest brother praised you for being quite talented in medical science, so it is better to go to our pharmacy first to do some light work of picking up medicinal materials, and when the time is ripe, I will open a branch in the city and you will be in charge, so as to save me from going back to my grandmother's house to be angry." ”
"I appreciate my cousin's kindness."
Hua Rujin replied lightly.
His tone was extremely sincere, but people couldn't bear to refuse.
If the original one was still there, I must have been extremely moved to hear his arrangement.
As for the practice of medicine, although those who are lawyers are not proficient in everything, they are barely well-read.
In fact, she studied a little bit in her early years, after all, she was born in forensic science, and with the experience accumulated by the original owner in this area, if she studied hard for a while, maybe she could really have some edification.
It's just that everyone has their own ambitions, even if they can't be salted fish lying flat, at least they should roll to the end in the field they love.
Although Shu Jinxuan noticed some changes in her temperament, she couldn't think of a reason, probably because she had suffered a lot of grievances in the Dou family in the past few years of separation.
Besides, he felt that his cousin's reluctance to go to his own hospital must be inseparable from his grandmother's previous gossip, so he suddenly stopped insisting on it, his expression changed, and his face was full of smiles: "Then I will accompany you to buy books later, and in the future, I will help you expand the territory in Jiangling City. ”
Hearing this, Hua Rujin couldn't help but sneer: "Cousin's momentum should be a general's march to fight and recover the lost land, and he shouldn't stay in Jiangling City as a doctor." ”
Shu Jinxuan didn't think it was so complicated, she laughed wryly, and her good-looking apricot eyes narrowed into a line with the smile.
I sandwiched two more buns into her bowl, and also learned her previous tone to urge: "Eat quickly, go to the bookstore after eating, the favorite place for scholars in Jiangling City is the Ningyuan bookstore in the south of the city, and the books you want to buy are only the most complete, I heard that it not only contains the classics of the past dynasties, but also the most complete book." ”
"It seems that my cousin doesn't read much on weekdays."
"Not really, that's it...... Occasionally. ”
"Then let's go to Ningyuan Bookstore."
decided where to go, filled his stomach, spent 20 yuan and handed it to the store, and then got into the carriage of the Shu family.
The coachman was careful, knowing that his son-in-law had just finished eating, so he pressed the speed of the car very slowly, and walked slowly all the way.
Walking a distance in the direction of the south of the city, Hua Rujin suddenly saw a middle-aged man in luxurious clothes standing in front of a chic courtyard through the curtain of the car, looking around anxiously.
From time to time, he stopped passers-by to ask a few words, and after being ignored, he stood back with a lonely face.
Shu Jinxuan looked at her with a strange expression, and immediately noticed that something was wrong, and when the carriage was only a few meters away from the middle-aged man, he suddenly stopped the carriage.
"Why, cousin recognizes the person outside?"
Shu Jinxuan hesitated for a while.
Hua Rujin shook her head slowly, and then saw the middle-aged man walking straight over, and asked enthusiastically, "The two young ladies want to rent a residence?" ”
"Rent an apartment?"
Hua Rujin thought about it, and then understood: "Your Excellency wants to rent out this courtyard?" ”
"Exactly."
The middle-aged man looked a little anxious: "This is located in the land of Jiangling City, the location is excellent, just because my lady is about to give birth, I have to rush back to the old house as soon as possible, but the previous tenant temporarily changed his mind, I can not only look for a tenant again, you said that I can't come back for a while, if it has been idle and no one to take care of it." ”
"How much silver?"
It was only then that I came up with the idea of moving to the city, and I met a renter, and I became interested in flowers.
Seeing her real face, the middle-aged man cautiously stretched out his fingers: "Two ...... every month Two taels of silver, if the lady can pay off a year's worth of money at once, only twenty taels will be charged. ”
"Two taels of silver a month?"
Shu Jinxuan was alert: "The house in the south of the city can be regarded as the most prosperous in the city outside Jiangling City, why is Your Excellency renting it out so cheaply, isn't it deceiving us?" ”
"How dare you."
The middle-aged man immediately took out the household registration certificate and the house deed hidden in his arms and handed them into the carriage: "Absolute Tong Su is not deceitful, this is the house that was disposed of here in the early years of the next year, the government has a record, and the two of you have also seen it, I am indeed in an emergency, otherwise I would not have rented it out at such a low price." ”
Although it is cheap, it is not a small amount to take out twenty taels of silver at one time, Hua Rujin hesitantly handed the deed back to the middle-aged man.
"Why don't you go check it out?"
Shu Jinxuan said with a smile: "Fortunately, it's still early, and it's too late to go to Ningyuan Bookstore after reading the house, just because I want to find a house to store medicinal materials." ”
Hearing him say this, Hua Rujin had to follow and get out of the carriage.
As soon as she entered the house, there was a cool cold wind blowing in her face, and Hua Rujin couldn't help but tremble.
"I have dug a few deep wells in this courtyard, and if the son and the young lady live in it, they will ensure that they are warm in winter and cool in summer."
The middle-aged man smiled and pointed to the courtyard to introduce around.
Hua Rujin looked at the courtyard at random, although it was not as good as those luxurious mansions, but both the house furnishings and the scenery were extremely chic, and it could be regarded as an elegant courtyard, no matter how you thought about it, it was not worth more than two taels of silver.
"Your Excellency, this house can't be a murderous house, right?"
Shu Jinxuan questioned again.
"Hey, Childe, you're really wronged."
The middle-aged man retorted without blushing and without a beating heart: "Son, you can go to the government to inquire, this house is very clean, there has never been a homicide, it has been built for less than ten years, and it has always been living alone in Xia, how can you say that the murder house is a murder." ”
Hua Rujin looked at it carefully, observing back and forth in the whole yard, judging from the color of the wood paint of the house building, it was indeed a new house that had not been built for a long time.
And he dared to guarantee that he would go to the government to inquire, explaining that there should be no homicide here, and it would not be a murder house.
I think there is indeed another reason why he is so cheap and in a hurry to rent.
Although Shu Jinxuan was not familiar with this house, he still knew the situation in the entire south of the city, and after carefully confirming the structure of the house, he came over and asked Hua Rujin: "Cousin, what do you think?" ”
"Hengzhi is just a warehouse for storing medicinal materials, so it's nothing to worry about."
Hua Rujin said: If she had plenty of money and such a good house was so cheap, she would definitely want to come down as soon as possible.
As soon as her words fell, Shu Jinxuan took out a few ingots of silver and handed them to the middle-aged man: "I want this house, please ask Your Excellency to write a lease contract." ”
