Chapter 32 Renting a House (2nd Update)
Xu Jing wanted to move her residence to the county, and this idea came to her on the day she returned from the yamen.
Although Hutou Village is not far from the county seat, and most of the people in the village are simple and kind, except for the Peng family, the village is outside the city, and the security is not as good as in the county, and Xu Jing always feels unreliable when she lives there.
In fact, these days, she hid the dagger under her pillow and held the dagger in one hand to sleep.
There is a curfew in the county, the city gates are closed at night, and there are people patrolling at fixed points, which is much safer than in the village.
Therefore, as early as the first day when she came to the county to inspect the situation, she asked her sister-in-law to introduce a trustworthy tooth man to them, and asked the tooth man to help them find a few safe and comfortable places to live.
In the past few days, in addition to inspecting the medical hall, they have gone to see the house, but they have not found anything satisfactory.
Today, the tooth people sent a message to them early in the morning, saying that there is a binary yard vacant in Anping County, and that yard is located in the rich area of Anping County.
Xu Jing was very excited when she heard it, and she was looking forward to seeing the house, but now she obviously didn't have time.
Seeing that Xu Jing was just looking out of the window, silent for a long time, Cheng Xian, who had been ignored, was blessed to his heart, and hurriedly leaned in front of Xu Jing and said, "Xu Niangzi is going to rush out of the city, but there is still something to be done in the county?" ”
Faced with this big face plate that suddenly came over, Xu Jing tilted her head back quietly, and said "um" coldly.
Cheng Xianbai saw that if he didn't do anything to show it, he would really be ignored by this woman to the end, so he hurriedly asked diligently: "Where does live now?" ”
Xu Jing didn't want to answer much, Chunxiang on the side didn't notice her lady's dislike, and said with a big grin: "We live in Hutou Village now, and we came to the county by a donkey cart from a villager in the village, so we have to leave quickly." ”
Sister-in-law Fang, they can usually sell out the pies at this point in time, and sometimes they can sell it even earlier if they sell well, and they can't let the family wait for them to finish their work in the county before leaving.
"Hutou Village," Cheng Xian's eyes lit up, and he said: "I have a brother who lives in Hutou Village, he works in the county, and he goes home every few days, and today is the day he goes back."
Now in the summer, it is dark late, and the city gate is usually closed at six o'clock, and now it is at four o'clock.
If you fellow villagers are in a hurry to leave, you might as well let them go first, and I'll let my brother give you a ride. ”
Xu Jing was slightly stunned, and finally looked at Cheng Xianbai.
Cheng Xianbai was so excited that he burst into tears, and couldn't help but say more attentively: "If the is not at ease, I can escort the back with my brother, it just so happens that I haven't been together with that brother for a long time, so I'll go to his house tonight to have a good drink!" ”
Xu Jing was really moved, and if she could, she wanted to settle down on the county's residence as soon as possible.
It's just that she looked at the man in front of her, and suddenly narrowed her eyes and said, "Have you honed your medical skills today?" Still thinking about drinking? ”
Cheng Xianbai: "......"
Isn't Fang Cai still talking about sending her home? How did you jump to his medical skills all of a sudden?!
"Although I cooperate with you, you can't count on me for the revitalization of Xinglintang, otherwise, just like the previous Doctor Cheng, once I am not there, Xinglintang will collapse."
Xu Jing said lightly: "What's more, I don't sleep anymore, and the patients I can see in a day are limited, if Xinglintang wants to become bigger and stronger, it needs more reliable doctors, you must hone and refine your medical skills, and take charge of yourself as soon as possible, I can teach and help you."
Otherwise, I am not doing good deeds, and if you have not improved, I will withdraw at any time.
Moreover, you are willing to follow me all the time? I propose this division because I am the only one who can see and treat patients now, but if your medical skills come up, we may not be able to discuss the way of cooperation. ”
Cheng Xianbai: "!! ”
Damn, don't bring such coercion and temptation!
The last person who whipped him to hone his medical skills like this was his old man.
Cheng Qingqing on the side was excited, nodded again and again: "Xu Niangzi is right, Xinglintang will fall to this point, and there are also reasons why we were too lax before, we always feel that Daddy will always be there, will always support Xinglintang, I didn't think that Daddy would suddenly be gone."
After Daddy left, we were anxious about the business situation of Xinglintang, but we neglected the most important thing - to improve our medical skills.
said in one word, I thought that I had no talent in medical skills, so I studied with Daddy for so long or only learned some fur, but diligence can make up for clumsiness, we haven't worked hard, how can we give up easily! ”
As she spoke, she turned around and entered the room inside, and when she came out again, she had already hugged a large stack of medical books, stuffed them into Cheng Xianbai's hand without saying anything, and said menacingly: "Brother, you can send home tonight, but you can't just drink alone, you have to read all these medical books!"
Don't be lazy, I'll watch it tonight, and I'll take your test tomorrow. ”
Cheng Xianbai: "......"
Actually, this time, he didn't have to send QAQ
It's just that in front of his sister, Cheng Xianbai has never had much right to speak, not to mention that his sister now has a strong alliance.
In the end, Cheng Xianbai carried a burden of medical books and went out with Xu Jing dejectedly.
Xu Jing sent Chunyang to explain the situation to Sister-in-law Fang, and then came to the place where she had made an appointment with Yaren in the morning.
The house they wanted to see was located in the east of the city, and the tooth man was waiting there early, and when he saw them, he immediately enthusiastically introduced them to the situation of the house, and finally, he rubbed his hands and said: "This house was bought by a rich merchant in Suizhou for his mother, his mother's hometown is in Anping County, and he always has to go back to Anping County to live for a while every year, but the previous one, his mother died, and this house can no longer be used, so he thought about renting it out."
The rich businessman is not short of money, he wants to find someone to rent a house, mainly to find someone to help him take care of the house, and make a little money by the way, so that when he misses his mother in the future, he can come back to see, so the rental money he opened is not high, only one or two silver a month.
There are not many houses with such low rental money in this area, I saw that you were introduced by Lao Song, and I was the first to tell you that if are interested in renting, it is best to make a decision quickly, otherwise this house will be rented out in a few days as soon as the matter of renting out will be rented out! ”
Haruka's eyes couldn't help but widen all at once.
This house costs a tael of silver a month! The courtyard of Shen Niang in Hutou Village is only two hundred wen a month!
Although the size and location of this house are not comparable to Shen Niang's small courtyard, it ...... But it's too expensive!
They also have to pay half a month's rent to the tooth man as a commission.
If this continues, their twenty taels of silver will be gone!
Xu Jing couldn't help but feel a little pain, but this house really met her requirements in all aspects, and she finally gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, I'll rent it." ”
The silver is not saved, but earned.
It's also time to put some pressure on yourself.
Yaren's favorite is such a refreshing customer, and he hurriedly "sighed", nodded again and again: "really has vision, I will go back and tell the steward sent by the rich businessman, and when the contract is signed tomorrow, can move in."
I also asked someone to look at the house for a while, I don't know if the want to leave now, or take a look here again? ”
Xu Jing saw that it was still early, thinking that she would start moving in after signing the contract tomorrow, so it was better to familiarize herself with the environment in advance and think about what furniture she wanted to buy, so she said, "Let's take a look." ”
"Alas! look slowly, just close the door for me when you leave, and I'll take someone to lock it when I come back after seeing the house. ”
After saying that, he left with a smile.
Chunxiang saw that the lady had made up her mind to rent this house, and although her heart was dripping blood, she was still very happy to live in such a big house, and immediately began to look around, thinking about how to decorate this new home.
Xu Jing took a turn around the house again, and when she saw that Chunxiang was looking strong, she didn't call her, and slowly walked to the gate by herself, looking at the street scene outside.
It is worthy of being a wealthy area, the streets outside are spacious and clean, and it is very quiet, and no one passes by for half a day. The surrounding houses have high walls and imposing gates.
Compared to the surrounding houses, this house is really inconspicuous.
Xu Jing was watching intently, and suddenly felt that someone seemed to be watching her not far away.
She raised her eyebrows silently, turned her head sharply, and suddenly met a pair of black eyes that were clearer and cleaner than the sea.
The owner of the eyes seemed to be very alarmed when he realized that he had been discovered, and his eyes widened at once, and the whole person shrank back into the alley like a frightened rabbit, revealing only a small hand on the wall.
Xu Jing couldn't help but be stunned.
Child?
Could it be that the child of which family is here?
