Chapter 017: Not to be eaten by the mouth
"Good, good, good."
The middle-aged man smiled from ear to ear, led the two to the living room and immediately wrote the contract, and after the two parties signed and drawn, he handed over the keys everywhere to Shu Jinxuan.
Hua Rujin saw that he was so resolute, although he was a little worried, but thinking about the Shu family's status in Jiangling City, this person didn't dare to play any crooked thoughts.
Unless, he doesn't want to mess around in Gangneung City.
After all the handovers, the three of them went out together.
But as soon as he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, he saw an old man dressed in tatters and unkempt hair coming up to block the way.
In front of Hua Rujin and Shu Jinxuan, the old man directly put on a stinky face for the middle-aged man: "Boss Du, do you want to earn money with your conscience?" ”
The tone is yin and yang.
Hua Rujin listened to it and felt a pang in her heart: Could it be that I made a mistake in judgment?
The middle-aged man suddenly became anxious: "It's you bad old man again, I have no grievances with you, why do you repeatedly spoil me and good things?" ”
Seeing that Shu Jinxuan and Hua Rujin gradually sank their faces, he was so anxious that he was at a loss to explain: "The two sons and young ladies, they were indeed truthful before, and there was no deception. ”
Seeing that the two were still silent, he gritted his teeth, and had to say truthfully: "This bad old man has been playing right and wrong in front of my door, insisting that my house is not clean, but my house is indeed not dirty, so I specially invited the Taoist priest of Huaqingguan to exorcise evil spirits, and a group of Taoist leaders of Huaqingguan stayed in the house for several days and did not notice anything abnormal. ”
When the words fell, he hurriedly ran to the side: "The two of you will wait a minute, and I will invite the neighbors and villagers to testify here." ”
Look at Nadu's boss began to knock on the door from door to door, and he looked very upright, but he was also a simple person.
Hua Rujin immediately realized that it was the old man in front of her who was deliberately embarrassing others.
Looking at his dress, ragged clothes, he thought he was a beggar.
Most likely, the boss Du didn't give him the money, and this person deliberately wanted revenge.
It's no wonder.
Thinking of this, she coldly rolled her eyes at the old man.
"Why, Miss looks down on me?"
The old man looked at the flowers that were looking at him with arrogance.
"Hmm."
Hua Rujin nodded slightly.
"Don't look at the old man dressed like a beggar, the old man never gets food from the mouth, but he has told the truth that he doesn't want the two of you to be deceived."
As soon as the old man's words fell, Shu Jinxuan took out a tael of silver from his arms and threw it in front of him.
The old man picked up the silver on the ground and ran quickly, shouting as he ran: "Thank you, thank you, thank you." ”
In the blink of an eye, there was no one.
"This ......"
Hua Rujin sighed angrily:
Said good festival.
It's really as deep as the sea when you enter the beggar gang, and you are a passerby from then on.
Shu Jinxuan had already seen the old man's thoughts, shook his head and sneered: "To open a shop and do business, not to offend officials is the first thing, and then you can't offend beggars and scoundrels." ”
Hua Rujin nodded and said, "Reasonable." ”
Waiting for Boss Du to call some neighbors to come over, where can I still see the figure of the old beggar, Boss Du looked bitter.
Someone recognized Shu Jinxuan, and hurriedly came over to explain: "It's Shu Ergongzi, this house is indeed Brother Du's, we can all testify, but the old beggar is really pestering, and I don't know where Brother Du offended him, he has been pestering Brother Du for the past few years, not spreading rumors that the house is haunted, so scared that no one dares to rent, Brother Du is in a hurry to rush back to the old house to serve Mrs., there is really no way but to rent at a lower price." ”
"I see."
Hua Rujin glanced at Boss Du meaningfully, although what he just said was not all the truth, but it was also excusable.
Shu Jinxuan had no intention of disturbing the surrounding neighborhood, and it was only a matter of twenty taels of silver, but this Du Boss was honest and straightforward, which made him a little unhappy, and hurriedly apologized: "I have offended a lot, please rest assured, since I have rented this house, I will not regret it, you can rest assured to go back and take care of your own lady." ”
"Thank you, Childe."
Boss Du thanked the neighbors and villagers with gratitude, and after everyone dispersed, he said goodbye to the two and hurried to the east of the city.
When the front of the door was cleared, Shu Jinxuan led Hua Rujin back to the courtyard, pointed to the two miscellaneous rooms in the corner of the courtyard by the door, and said, "In the future, I will sort out those two rooms and place medicinal herbs." ”
Then he faced the main courtyard behind him, holding his cheeks and pretending to be embarrassed: "There is no one to take care of me, or my cousin will go back and intercede for me, and let my little uncle and little aunt come into the city to help out, there are so many rooms left, and they are empty, and it is convenient to take care of Youen and Muyang into the city together." ”
Glancing at the two small miscellaneous rooms in the corner, Hua Rujin couldn't help but laugh.
He was looking for a warehouse to store medicinal materials, and he was clearly setting up a place to live in the sixth room.
"Okay."
Hua Rujin smiled lightly: "But I will give the silver, and the two warehouses will be counted as interest when I give them to my cousin." ”
Shu Jinxuan's bright eyes sank, and then nodded and said, "It's all up to you." ”
Then he handed her the key and the contract, and motioned: "You put these away, the hour is not early, let's go to Ningyuan Bookstore as soon as the lock is locked." ”
"Hmm."
Hua Rujin answered lightly, took the key and went out to lock the door, but heard a familiar voice coming from behind her: "I said why is it so lively here, it turned out to be the second son of Shu and the young lady of the Dou family." ”
Hua Rujin turned around and saw that it was Liu Cheng, the former magistrate of the county, and Dou Yiheng, the chief secretary of the county government, who led two messengers over.
Looking at Liu Cheng's smile and very enthusiastic appearance, she also replied with a gentle smile and deliberately reminded: "The folk girl is no longer the young lady of the Dou family now. ”
Although he hates this person to the core, smiling at the person he hates is a disgusting thing that an adult must learn.
"Yes, yes, this official is here for this."
Liu Cheng leisurely stroked the goat's whiskers, and secretly turned his head and glanced at the main book.
Dou Yiheng hurriedly handed over the official document rolled in his hand: "This is the remarriage license printed by Ye Zhixian, and please take it away from Miss Huajia." ”
"Remarriage license?"
Hua Rujin listened to a joy, but this name was weird, and it was really difficult to accept.
opened it and took a closer look, it was indeed the approval document of the government that Ye Chengwei had used the seal to allow remarriage.
Her phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and she raised her head and smiled: "I didn't expect it to be so fast, Lord Zhixian is really resolute." ”
"The magistrate specially told me that this official will not dare to slack off."
Dou Yiheng also smiled and arched his hand to her: "This official hereby congratulates Miss Hua on getting what she wanted." ”
"Thank you."
As soon as Hua Rujin's words fell, Liu Cheng moved closer to her, and lowered her voice while looking at Shu Jinxuan: "Miss Hua, can you take a step to speak?" ”
Seeing that he showed a mysterious face, Hua Rujin twisted her eyebrows.
The new magistrate has already taken up his post, so it stands to reason that he should rush to Beijing immediately, why has he been hovering here?
After thinking about it, I'm afraid it's because of the Dou family.
She wanted to see what else this man could do.
"Cousin waits here."
Hua Rujin whispered to Shu Jinxuan, made a gesture of invitation, and led Liu Cheng to re-enter the courtyard and sat down at the stone table in the center of the courtyard.
