Chapter 21: You've Been Lied

"What, a noisy house, how can you live! What kind of heart do you have, let us ......buy this kind of house," the second lady glared at the horse jailer angrily, if it weren't for these lowly jailers who took away their jewelry, they would not be so depressed that they would be penniless by now.

Although the others didn't say anything, they remembered that in prison, the six girls were possessed by puppet spirits, and they all looked terrified.

This will gossip and let the horse jailer change places.

Ma Dalin smiled bitterly, "This Kyoto is expensive, there are many people in your house, and for a while, this suitable house is really hard to find." ”

The south city and the north city are not suitable, chaotic and miscellaneous.

Previously, Shangshufu was in Xicheng, and all the people living there were powerful people in Kyoto.

But now they are relegated to commoners, and they are not fit to live there anymore.

Nowadays, only Xicheng is more suitable, but the houses in Xicheng are not cheap, although there are few officials living there, but it is a place where wealthy businessmen and magnates gather, which leads to the housing prices there are getting higher and higher year by year.

It's not that there are no houses that are rented and sold over there, but there are really no ones that are suitable for the Ling family's situation.

They are penniless now, only Miss Ling still has two accessories on her, even if they are all pawned at the pawnshop, it is estimated that they will not be able to buy a house.

Ling Chu glanced at everyone, ignored them, turned his head and asked Jailer Ma, "Uncle Ma, what is the situation in that house, please tell me." ”

Others are afraid of puppets, but Ling Chu is not afraid.

Ma Dalin also saw that the six girls were possessed by puppet spirits last night, and others were helpless, but she did it in three or two clicks. Thinking that Miss Ling had the ability, Xu was not afraid of the puppet soul, so he thought about introducing the house to her.

"The house is in the west of the city, although it is not in the middle of the street, it is a little off. But it is said that there are three enters, because of the puppet at night, the house has not been sold, the price has dropped again and again, and now I heard that the price is one hundred and fifty taels. ”

The price of the three-entry house is not expensive, "Uncle Ma knows, why is that house making trouble?" ”

"I heard that the house was originally a merchant who wanted to marry a girl surnamed Liu, and bought it for the woman to marry. But then I heard that the merchant went out to buy goods before the marriage and died in an accident. The woman didn't want to see things and think about people, so she wanted to sell the house.

The house had just been built, and it was quickly bought, but when the new buyer moved in, he noticed that there was always a strange noise at night. His children were always crying day and night, saying that there were puppets following him. The buyer was worried that something would happen to the child and quit the house.

Later, the house went through several hands, but no matter who it was sold to, it was finally returned, and the reason was that the house was a puppet. ”

In the end, the price of the house dropped again and again, but it never sold, and even the tooth shop couldn't do it.

More specifically, Ma Dalin didn't know, so he could only ask Ling Chu to go to Yahang to inquire.

Ling Chu asked for the address of the Qingya Store and decided to go over to see the situation of the house in person.

Seeing that she really wanted to buy that house, Dong frowned, "First sister, your eldest brother is weak, since the house is not clean, it is better to change it." ”

When the second lady saw her speak, she hurriedly said, "Big girl, your grandfather and grandmother are old, but they can't stand being frightened, the puppet house, forget it." ”

Last night's incident with the sixth girl, everyone still had palpitations when they thought about it, and they all spoke out to dissuade her.

"I have lived in Xuanqingguan for many years, and I have learned some skills from my master, a puppet house, I am confident that I can still handle it. But if you have somewhere else to go, you can leave. ”

The others wanted to persuade again, but Ling Shangshu glanced at the eldest granddaughter with complicated eyes, and said, "First sister, now you know the situation at home, everyone is penniless, and there is nowhere else to go. Let's go with you to see the house first, and then make a decision. ”

The head of the family opened his mouth, and even if the others had any opinions, they could only hold back.

Ling Chu didn't object, nodded and agreed.

The group supported each other and went to look for the tooth shop according to the address provided by the horse jailer. With so many people walking through the streets and alleys, it naturally attracts the fingers of passers-by.

The second lady felt embarrassed, and wanted Ling Chu to pay for a few carriages.

However, Ling Chu bluntly said that she had no money on her, and whoever wanted to take the carriage had to hire them herself, so she wouldn't get used to them.

She didn't say anything when she was weak, but she still wanted to ride in the carriage, and she didn't see what the situation was now.

When the second lady saw that she ignored her, she was holding back her anger in her heart, but she didn't dare to be angry at her.

Everyone in Shangshufu usually goes out, either riding a horse or sitting in a sedan chair, walking all the way down, tired and panting, and when they arrive in Xicheng, it is already dark.

Ling Chu looked at the sky and sighed, so many people followed, procrastinating, seriously affecting her speed. If it goes on like this, it is estimated that it will not reach the tooth line when it gets dark.

She didn't want to sleep on the streets tonight, and she didn't have that much energy to deal with the ghosts that were roaming the streets at night.

When passing by a tea shed, Ling Chu took out ten cents and asked the stall owner to let everyone rest in his tea shed.

The second lady walked for a long time, tired and thirsty, and saw that there was only boiled water to drink, and her face immediately changed.

"Big girl, why is this only a bowl of white water......"

Ling Chu didn't wait for her to finish, pointed not far away and said, "Second aunt, there is a restaurant over there, you can go in, and I won't stop you." ”

If you want to eat, just go in and get some food.

But the money, don't want her to pay.

After drinking a bowl of boiled water, Ling Chu left everyone behind and went to look at the house alone.

Ling Shangshu was old and couldn't walk, so he wanted people to follow her, but he was reluctant to move.

When he arrived at Yaxing, Ling Chu asked, it is indeed as the horse jailer said, the house is there, but there is no suitable one.

"I heard that there is a puppet in the house, can you tell us more about the situation?"

When the dental manager saw that she was a girl, he didn't want to pay attention to it. However, seeing that Ling Chu insisted, he was idle and bored, so he still told all the information about the house.

To Ling Chu's surprise, the house now costs one hundred and twenty taels.

The steward probably saw that the house had been retreated a lot, but he didn't hide it, and it turned out that the wife of the last buyer of the house was so frightened that she broke her leg when she went to the thatched house in the middle of the night.

The woman held a grudge in her heart, and after her legs and feet were healed, she went around preaching that the house was a puppet. The girl had no choice but to lower the price again.

This is a good thing for Ling Chu.

She didn't hesitate to ask the dental manager to take her to see the house.

The steward saw that she was really interested in the house, and he was busy, so he immediately took her to see the house.

The house was quite large, although the yard was overgrown with weeds, and there was some spider silk in the house, and there was a lot of dust. But it's not a big problem, clean it carefully, and you can stay tonight.

Ling Chu took a rough look at the entire house, but she didn't feel anything unclean in the house.

"Steward Chen, I want this house, I wonder if I can find the owner of the house to go to the yamen to handle the contract now?"

When the dental manager heard that she really wanted to buy this house, he was overjoyed, "Yes, I'll take you there now." ”

At this moment, a puppet spirit came out and said eagerly to Ling Chu, "Fairy Gu, you have been deceived, this house is my ......"
