East Market, Baili Lane, Zhuma Fang.

"Two, that's it." The tooth man pushed open the door and led the two into the small courtyard.

Jun Chaoyun looked around, it was a small courtyard, in addition to the main room, there were two wings and a row of inverted rooms.

There is also a locust tree in the courtyard, and a place is specially set aside next to the well in the courtyard to be fenced off, which should be used to plant some flowers and plants.

"There is no more quiet and elegant courtyard in this East City." The man was articulate and pulled up a smiling face.

"Don't look at the small courtyard here, it's not big, but it's complete."

"This used to be a scholar, but later when I went to Beijing to take the exam, this courtyard was empty."

"It's also a coincidence that the two of you came, and it just so happens that I have such a yard on hand that meets your requirements."

"Don't worry, that scholar is definitely an innocent family, and this house is clean."

Jun Chaoyun took a turn inside and out, and found that it was very good, except that the location was a little out of the East Market.

But she still looked indifferent, "How much silver does it cost to rent for a year?" ”

"100 yuan a month, which is the lowest price, but the owner said that if you want to rent it, it will take a year."

"I don't know the girl?"

Jun Chaoyun asked with a smile: "It's not difficult to rent for a year, but as far as I know, the rental house in this East City is about one hundred and twenty Wen." ”

"I don't think the house here is bad, I don't know why the price has dropped?" Jun Chaoyun was puzzled.

If you hastily rent this house, if some trouble happens later, it will be more than worth the loss.

Chu Li stood beside him, although he rarely spoke, but a pair of cold eyes glanced at the tooth man faintly, full of oppression.

"Girl, don't worry, I'll tell you the truth, the reason why this house has been lowered is because the owner lives next door."

"What does this homeowner want?"

"Joy and quietness." The tooth man spread his hands.

"Most of the people who come to see the house these days are a few families, and most of them are noisy, and most of them don't meet the requirements."

"It's only the two of you who go around and around." It is also difficult for the tooth man to do, and when he saw Jun Chaoyun and the two of them today, the two brothers and sisters looked at the politeness of the pen, and immediately thought of this house.

"And what kind of person lives next door?"

Jun Chaoyun didn't care that the owner lived next door, but he still wanted to know about it so as not to have any quirks.

This courtyard is located in the innermost part

"It's a master of the academy, he lives alone on weekdays, and spends most of his time in the academy."

"No, this scholar, he just likes to be quiet."

Jun Chaoyun nodded and looked at Chu Li on the side.

"Is that okay?"

"Hmm." The boy nodded in agreement.

Jun Chaoyun breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that the tooth man is not lying, not to mention anything else, in the eyes of Chu Li, a beautiful and miserable male partner in the original book, it is difficult for ordinary Xiaoxiao to escape his eyes, otherwise it is impossible to ascend to the throne of God and look at the world.

The tooth man saw Chu Li nodding, even if he smiled, although this little Langjun had always listened to his sister along the way, he looked like a scholar and couldn't fool around at will.

"In that case, the two of you will follow me to sign the deed."

"I can live in it today." The tooth man got done, and his steps were brisk.

Take the two of them back to the tooth shop, sign the deed, hand over the key, and the sale between the two parties is done.

Taking advantage of the fact that the sky was not dark, the two hurriedly bought some bedding to eat and small items for daily use.

The young man followed behind, his body was full of large and small things, Jun Chaoyun just chose in front, and he wanted to buy the whole street back.

The two returned to the small courtyard and cleaned up inside and out again before they settled down with peace of mind.

Outside Pingcheng, rows of makeshift shacks are filled with displaced people, and the Chen family rests here.

They had to travel for several days to reach Xiangcheng, where the Longyin army was stationed, and it was safe for now.

In a hidden woods outside the city, the man's muffled wheezing sound was heard, causing the birds in the woods to fly incessantly.

After a long time, the man got up from Ma's thin body, put on his pants, and scolded in his mouth, "Bah, just this mother-in-law, I want Lao Tzu a dry cake." ”

Ma was lying on the ground, his eyes were blank, there was no trace of blood on his withered face, his lips were chapped, and the man was even more angry when he saw this.

The man turned around and left, and Ma Shi reacted at his feet, throwing himself at the man's feet and dragging his legs.

"Cake, cake, please......" Ma cried and begged, her eyes were already big, but now they are so thin that they are deeply sunken, as if they have two eyeballs hanging on them, which is terrifying.

"Get out of the way!"

"Bad luck." The man shook off Ma, glared at her fiercely, turned and left.

When Chen Fu came over, the man casually threw the cake on the ground.

Chen Fu didn't dare to be angry, so he could only spit hatefully at the man's back.

"Phew, scoop." Having said that, he still carried the cake in his arms.

walked to Ma's side who was lying on the ground and kicked it with his foot, "Sister-in-law, if Jinbao doesn't eat enough today, I'm afraid my mother will be rough with you again." ”

"Now our Chen family depends on you......"

Ma Shi was motionless, if it weren't for the breath, Chen Fu's father would have thought he was a dead man, Chen Fu sneered and strode away.

Chen Fu was in a good mood today, so he didn't deduct it, and gave the hard-won cake to Tian.

When Chen Dashan saw his younger brother coming back, he looked at the woods in the distance without saying a word, and silently went to pick up Ma's back.

These days, they have learned from other people to feed themselves on the roots of wild herbs.

Originally, the family complained to each other on the road, but now they can only save some effort and rush desperately.

Several of the men were still quite tough, but people like Zhao and Xiao Tian had completely lost their strength and were groggy.

Fortunately, Xiangcheng opened a warehouse for disaster relief, and porridge was given here every day, and the family was able to survive.

But there were so many people who fled that only one person from each household could enter the city once a day.

Although Chen Erniu and Chen Tashan have good strength, they also hit walls everywhere.

Some of the people who fled had already paid the money to the guards and moved into the city to settle down.

As for those who don't have much money, most of them are repairing here, trying their best to make money to go to their relatives.

Among them, there are many powerful men, and there is no shortage of people to do the work in Xiangcheng.

In the past few days, Chen Fu has been wandering around the city, he is the only scholar in the Chen family, and if he can find a job in the city, it will be considered an emergency.

It's a pity that Chen Fuxin is not here, so he is looking for some men outside the city and selling Chen's skin and flesh for something.

But this is far from enough to support them to Yanjing.

Chen Fushen mysteriously pulled Tian and Chen Dashan aside, avoiding the others.

"Dad, mother, I have something I want to tell you."

Chen Dafu sat up, looked expectantly at his youngest son, who had always had an idea, and asked, "Mi'er, you say." ”

Chen Fu lowered his voice, "Our family is saved!" It was hard to hide the excitement in his voice.

Tian's cloudy and yellow eyes suddenly brightened, and she grabbed Chen Fu's arm, "Really? Fu'er, tell your mother quickly, what's a good way? ”

"Dad, mother, I met a noble man today."

Chen Fu pointed to Xiangcheng, "Today I will go to find a job in it." ”

"Don't we still have a lotus in our family, I think it's better to be a servant girl of a big family than to follow us."

"As long as this woman is innocent and has a good appearance, she will be willing to pay ten taels of silver after a glance."

After hearing this, Tian rolled his eyes, then looked at Chen Lian not far away, and looked at it carefully.

Chen Lianru is fifteen years old, and she used to have a graceful posture and a delicate face, but she has eaten very little in a desperate hurry these days, and she is haggard and emaciated.

But I can still see from that dirty little face that she is a lovely girl.

If it is really sold to a large family, there will be entanglements on the road.

Seeing this, Chen Fu persuaded Chen Dashan again, "Dad, we are in Xiangcheng now, how many gangsters have we met along the way, if it weren't for our fate, we would have been killed a long time ago." ”

"This big family is a maidservant, not only can she eat enough every day, but she also has monthly money."

"If one day you are looked down upon by the lord's family, and you are equipped with a competent steward in the house, or you can be a concubine for the son of the family, and give birth to a son who will inherit the family business in the future, it will be a great good thing, and you will enjoy wealth and wealth for a lifetime."

Although Chen Dashan doesn't talk much on weekdays, he is also very successful in his heart.

It took a long time before he spoke: "But your second sister-in-law is afraid that she will not agree." ”

"How dare she?" Tian stared, his expression a little terrifying.

"This Chen family can't take her turn to be the master of the Zhao family, I am her mother, so you have to listen to me."

"A girl, working so hard to raise such a big one."

"Now that we are all dying of hunger, can she be happy to send her to a big family to enjoy happiness?"

The more Tian thought about it, the more he felt that it was a good deal, and said to Chen Fu: "Fu'er, my mother thinks this method is good." ”
