In the blink of an eye, it has been more than ten days since Zhao Shouren sacrificed to the river god, and on this day, Xiaoqian was cultivating in the mansion, and suddenly her heart moved, and the entire river temple appeared in front of her.
I saw a group of peasants carrying three animals to the river temple, for the one dressed in silk robes, white and fat, with a goatee under his forehead, at a glance is a typical image of the rich man in the countryside.
After the three animals were placed, this person put on a stick of incense, then knelt in front of the statue of the river god, respectfully kowtowed three times and said: "The river god is above, and the villain is Zhao Guang, a citizen of Shangtai Town, and his father has been dead for many years." These days, somehow, every night when the villain goes to bed, he dreams that his deceased father is whipped by an evil ghost, saying that he wants his father to return his life. The villain didn't understand what he meant, and hoped that the river god could tell ...... in a dream."
After listening to the other party's appeal, Xiao Qian depressedly withdrew the talisman. He is a river god who is in charge of the rise and fall of the water veins. As for the matter of the Yin Division, this person should go to the land temple in the city to pray, how could he come here.
This is completely in the wrong place, worshipping the wrong God, how can it work. Ten have**, this person must have heard others mention the miracle of the river god, so no matter what three seven twenty-one brought three animals to worship.
She kept this matter in her heart, and planned to ask the other party to go to the land temple to pray for God in her dream at night.
Retracting her thoughts, Xiao Qian continued to immerse herself in refining the River God Talisman.
Now that most of the river god talisman has been refined, the waters within a radius of dozens of miles are under control, as long as you have something in your heart, a clear image of the Baishui River will immediately be reflected in your mind. Moreover, with the Baishui River providing a steady stream of spiritual power, many of the divine spells recorded in the edict have been able to be cast. It's just that this power is not something she has cultivated with hard work, and she always feels a little jerky when she runs and controls it.
Perhaps this situation will be improved when the talisman is fully refined.
Chang Jin stayed at home for half a month, and then returned to the county seat alone.
Although he has come to this county a lot of times, he is in a hurry many times and does not know very well. Therefore, when it comes to buying a house to live in, it will also trouble Wang Qinian.
"Yunsheng, you really plan to buy a house and live in the county. Is the silver money enough, if it is not enough, the foolish brother can make up dozens of taels here. Hearing that Chang Jin was going to buy a house in the county seat, Wang Qinian was slightly surprised at first, and then spoke.
Tongqu County is adjacent to Dushui, from here you can go south to Xuzhou, north to Sanqin, Liangdu two states, plus this place is under the jurisdiction of Junzhou, can be regarded as the four states of the thoroughfare, the name of the county also comes from this.
Because of the convenient transportation, the business of Tongqu County is very good. Housing prices in county towns have also risen, and in some places they are even higher than those in state capitals.
In the prosperous area, there is an ordinary set of two courtyards, and you can't take it down without hundreds of taels of silver.
Even the simplest three-room room, one with a bed, one with a guest seat, and one kitchen, would cost at least thirty or forty taels of silver.
Wang Qinian thought that he knew Chang Jin's family background, and knew that the other party couldn't take out hundreds of taels of silver at a time, so he planned to help out, and it could be regarded as repaying some life-saving graces.
"Thank you Brother Qingyuan, I have a lot of money here, so I don't have to bother. Chang Jin shook his head with a smile, and then said: "Brother Qingyuan is familiar with the county, I just want you to help me see if there are suitable houses for sale on the street in the county seat this time." "When he killed Liu Xu, he got hundreds of taels of silver tickets, plus Xiao Qian sent a lot of silver taels from the shipwreck at the bottom of the river. Nowadays, it can be regarded as a small asset, and it is more than enough to buy a house.
I know that the other party has good intentions, but I still try not to trouble others if I can.
"The house facing the street, I'm afraid it's hard to find, I haven't noticed it before, but it's easy to do. Let's go to the dental store together, they have a lot of doors, they must know that those houses are for sale, let the dental dealer help introduce ......"
"Tooth Merchant!?" Hearing this, Chang Jin couldn't help frowning, "Brother Qingyuan, you better ask someone else, don't go through the tooth shop." ”
The car and boat shop should be killed if he is not guilty. After experiencing the matter of Mrs. Zhao, he has no good impression of the person in the tooth shop.
"How can you do it without going through the dental line, this is a criminal thing. Yunsheng, you don't want to go to jail, do you?" Wang Qinian was startled and looked at him in a daze.
"If you don't buy or sell a house without going through the tooth shop, you will go to jail?" Chang Jin was even more surprised, what kind of crooked theory was this, he had never heard of it before.
Seeing the expression on the other party's face, Wang Qinian finally understood, and said with a smile: "Yunsheng, it turns out that you don't understand things." You have been studying and learning, you have never dealt with businessmen, and you don't know anything about the dental industry. The "Great Yan Criminal System" of this dynasty stipulates that 'all transactions in the field and house must be guaranteed by teeth, and the offender is allowed to steal.' If there is no tooth shop involved in the sale of the house, if they find out about the lawsuit, then it will not be good. Ordinary people don't care, it's just that you are interested in the imperial examination, but you can't lose a big one because of a small one. ”
"I see, I have been taught" Chang Jin bowed and saluted. If you are a threesome, you must have my teacher. If the other party didn't say it, he really didn't know that the Dayan Dynasty had such a rule. To put it bluntly, this tooth merchant is no different from the intermediary of the earth's future generations, but he has the support of the government, and the transaction is automatically sent to the door, which is really happy.
"Yunsheng, what are you doing here" Wang Qinian hurriedly dodged away.
Since he couldn't avoid Yaxing, Chang Jin could only face it calmly: "It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, let's go to Yaxing now." ”
Wang Qinian led the way in front, explaining in detail the various aspects of the dental line on the way.
Chang Jin is really eye-opening, and the division of labor in the world of feelings is very fine. Those who engage in the sale of houses are called "Zhuang Zhai Ya Xing", and those who are engaged in the sale of livestock are called "Five Animal Tooth Shops", etc., and there are clear laws that stipulate that they cannot be serialized.
When the two of them walked into the dental shop, the guy who was napping against the counter immediately greeted them.
"Man, call your shopkeeper out. Knowing that this kind of little guy doesn't matter, Wang Qinian didn't even look at it, and directly put on a show.
"Okay, wait a minute, two sons. Seeing them dressed as scholars, the man immediately said hello and shouted to the inside, "Shopkeeper, a distinguished guest has come to the door." ”
Soon a fat-headed and big-eared shopkeeper came out of the back room, greeted them with a smile in his eyes, and then introduced himself.
As for the young man from before, he brought a pot of hot tea to him.
After listening to Chang Jin's explanation, the shopkeeper immediately took out a book from under the counter and handed it over: "Two sons, this is the Zhuang Mansion Book of our store, and the houses for sale in the north of Tongqu County are here, you can take a closer look......"
"Qianmen Huang Yuan's Outer Courtyard, three entrances, two hundred and forty taels"
"The Li family's house on East Street, one into eight rooms, seventy taels of silver"
"Backstreet ......"
Even if Chang Jin had been prepared, he still admired it in his heart after reading it all the way. This house price is not promised compared to the modern earth,
The cheapest courtyard is more than forty taels, and it is in the alley.
Well...... When he turned to the last page, Chang Jin couldn't help but sigh softly.
"What's the matter, Yunsheng?" Seeing his face look different, Wang Qinian leaned over and asked.
"Look!" Chang Jin stretched out his hand and pointed to one of the words: Qian Mou entered the courtyard of the north gate of the city, facing the street, and there were more than ten houses in total, fifty taels.
"How can it be so cheap...... Shopkeeper, is this entry wrong?" Wang Qinian asked, pointing to this item.
"You're talking about the courtyard of the Qian family" The fat shopkeeper leaned over and looked at it twice, and said with embarrassment: "Two sons, there is indeed no mistake in this entry, but I advise the two of you not to buy this house, and I don't hide it...... It used to be haunted. ”
"Haunted?!" Chang Jin was stunned when he heard this, "You can tell me in detail"
If it were an ordinary person, the fat shopkeeper would naturally coax them to buy this house. Anyway, as long as you sign the paperwork, no matter what happens in the future, it has nothing to do with you.
But the two of them are scholars, in case something happens and is investigated by the academy, they will definitely not be able to eat and walk around, so the fat shopkeeper does not dare to hide anything, and 1510 narrates the things in the room.
Originally, this mansion was owned by a wealthy man surnamed Qian in this county, covering an area of several acres, and was built a few years ago. The house had not been built since the day it was built, and when the earth was laid, a large snake was dug out from below, and that night some masons were sleeping in a dream, and they dreamed that an old man with a white beard shouted at them, saying that they had killed their children, and then the old man turned into a big snake and demanded their lives.
The next day the masons went on strike, saying that they would no longer dare to build houses for the rich man.
In desperation, the rich man invited a Taoist priest from Fucheng to exorcise evil spirits. Afterwards, a mason was hired to build the house.
Later, the rich man's family moved in, and it didn't take long for strange things to happen in the house, and there were often bricks and rubble, dense as hail, falling from the sky at night.
The family members rushed to hide, and they were so annoyed that the rich man had to invite the Taoist priest to come and exorcise the evil spirit.
But each time it was ten days and half a month, and after that, it was the same. The rich family's family was so miserable that they could only hurriedly send the house information to Yaxing.
Later, 6 continued, some people valued this mansion, but not long after each family moved in, they encountered ghosts and moved out. The owner of one of the families was so bold that he stayed in the house and lost his daughter's life.
Since then, no one has dared to fight the idea of money house.
After a long time, this mansion gradually fell into disuse, although it is located in the downtown area, but the house is full of weeds, and no one dares to enter in the daytime.
