After listening to Chang Sheng's explanation, Ling Jiang finally knew how difficult it was to live in Chang'an City.

Although it is said that with the silver taels he has in hand, it will not be said that he can't afford to live, but if he really wants to live, it will become a big problem to eat food and clothing in the future, and he can't eat gruel and porridge at home every day, right?

Chang Sheng saw Ling Jiang's sad face, suddenly hesitated for a while, and said softly: "However, it's not that there are really low-cost houses, it's just that no one wants to live in them." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Ling Jiang hurriedly asked. Although he was a little excited, he also knew what kind of houses no one lived in, such as a murderous house or something, and he really didn't dare to live in it.

Chang Sheng didn't sell it anymore, and said straight to the point: "In Anxingfang, there is a big mansion, which used to be the mansion of a Yulin Lang general in the Great Zhou, but ten years ago, it was ...... It declined, and it is said that the family was ruined, and only one daughter survived in the family. Now this Yu Lin Lang General's Mansion has long been divided and there is not much left, but there is still a mansion left, which is where Yu Lin Lang Jiang's family lived back then. And because there was no one to live in the courtyard, it was also in the hands of the imperial court. But being idle all the time is also idle, and no one will bother with spare money, you say, right?"

"You mean that the mansion can be rented, right?" Ling Jiang asked softly.

"It can be, it's just ......" Chang Sheng laughed dryly, "What is the main reason why no one wants to stay in that place, do you know?"

Ling Jiang shook his head.

Chang Sheng lowered his voice and said: "The reason why the Yulin Lang General's Mansion has declined is because it has offended the saint's scales, although many years have passed, no one wants to live there, and it is also a taboo about this. ”

Ling Jiang understood that the so-called self-preservation was a truth. At this time, you have to draw a clear line, Yu Lin Lang will have an accident, and you are going to rent the house where he lived before his death, what do you mean?

People who are officials in Chang'an are very fond of this.

Ling Jiang thought for a moment, "If it's rented, how much is the approximate rent?"

Chang Sheng shook his head and said: "This kind of place is to make some spare money, three, four, two, five, six, more or less." Of course, the benefits are not less, you have to give the official in charge some sweetness, and he is willing to help you keep the price down. ”

"I understand. Ling Jiang nodded, and as he spoke, the two of them had already walked out of the gate of Guozijian.

When Ya'er saw Ling Jiang coming out, she couldn't wait to greet her.

"This is my maid, Nangong Ya'er. Ling Jiang introduced to Chang Sheng.

Chang Sheng only nodded slightly, and didn't say anything.

"Then let's do it, why don't you take us to see what the mansion of General Yu Lin looks like first, can you go in here?" Ling Jiang asked.

Hearing Ling Jiang's words, Chang Sheng was about to answer, but suddenly he was stunned again. This made Ling Jiang look confused, and after a while, Chang Sheng asked helplessly: "Brother Ling Jiang, I heard that your mentor is Master Su Qiuhe, right?"

"Yes, what's wrong?" Ling Jiang replied.

"It's broken......" Chang Sheng subconsciously covered his head with his hands, eager to slap himself twice, how could he forget such an important event? Now that the words have been spoken, how can he come back?

Ling Jiang saw Chang Sheng's distress and asked softly, "What, is there something wrong?"

Chang Sheng smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Lingjiang, you don't know anything about this. ”

As he spoke, he suddenly looked left and right to confirm that there was no one around, and then he lowered his voice and said, "Among the people who participated in the incident of Yu Lin Lang back then, there was your mentor, Master Su Qiuhe. In my opinion, it's better not to rent this courtyard, otherwise this gossip may have to spread throughout Chang'an one day. ”

Ling Jiang was also surprised, he didn't expect that a five-rank Yulin Lang General with an official position could actually involve so many things, what happened ten years ago?

"If that's the case...... Ling Jiang didn't know what to do, after all, except for this place, there were few cheap houses.

At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves came galloping from a distance, and the two of them looked up and saw that it was an official in a green court uniform, hurrying towards their location, obviously looking for them.

The official turned over and dismounted, and came to Ling Jiang with a scroll in his hand, "Are you Ling Jiang, the master of the country?"

Ling Jiang nodded yes, but he was extremely surprised in his heart, not long after he entered the National Prison, the news had already spread?

The official handed him the scroll in his hand and said, "This is the lease document for the inner courtyard of the Anxing Fang Yu Lin Lang General's house, and I can give you the key after you draw a pledge on it." ”

"General Yulin Lang's Mansion?" Ling Jiang and Chang Sheng both said in unison.

As he spoke, the young man couldn't wait to open the scroll in his hand, which was clearly written in black and white, and agreed to lease the inner courtyard of Yu Lin Lang's mansion, that is, the original Yu Lin Lang's residence, to Ling Jiang, the master of the country, and the lease fee was two taels a year.

"It's only two taels a year?" Ling Jiang felt that he was dreaming, this price is difficult to see in Pinghai Town, even if it is Pinghai Town, it is impossible to have a house for two taels a year, to say that it is just a house.

"Who wrote this document?" Chang Sheng asked the messenger who had given the order.

"It's the son of the country, Lord Yi. The Tsing Yi court official replied.

Chang Sheng muttered: "No wonder I always feel that this word is a little familiar, but I didn't expect it to be Yi Siye." ”

"Can you recognize the words written by others?" Ling Jiang heard this, and his heart suddenly moved.

"Small meaning. Chang Sheng smiled, "I grew up in Chang'an when I was a child, and I have seen countless calligraphy masters, but if the characters are well written, I usually pay special attention." Now that this is what Yi Siye means, you don't need to worry about anything, just live with peace of mind. ”

Ling Jiang didn't ask anything more, and took the seal and clay painting from the official, and then asked Ya'er to hand over two taels of silver to the official, who also handed over the key to the mansion with one hand.

It's as smooth as going to the market to buy groceries, and with no effort, a house is in hand.

After sending off this official messenger, Ling Jiang held the door key in his hand, as if he was holding gold and silver treasures, in this huge Chang'an City, there was suddenly a feeling of rooted, which was different from wandering around when he lived in the inn yesterday.

But this joy did not last long, and soon a flash of sorrow appeared on the boy's face.

Chang Sheng also said with interest: "Since Brother Lingjiang, you have settled down where you live, I will go back first, there are still some homework in the Guozi Prison that have not been dealt with, and if there are any difficulties in the future, just come to me." ”

"Thank you. Ling Jiang nodded.

Anxingfang is not far from Yongxingfang, only separated by a street, even if the two of them are crazy again, they quickly found the mansion of Yulin Lang General's Mansion after two laps. After all, it is also easy to discern, and as far as the eye can see, you only need to pick the most dilapidated yard.

Walking on the road, Ya'er also learned about the front and back of this house through Ling Jiang's narration, although she didn't say anything, her heart was happy. Her son-in-law finally understands that firewood and rice are expensive. In the future, if she marries a daughter-in-law, she can let go with peace of mind.

In fact, in Ya'er's eyes, her son-in-law really doesn't need to be very good, as long as she can be like other people's sons, don't worry about food and clothing, marry a beautiful daughter-in-law, give birth to a litter of big fat boys, and live a full life, she will be content.

Ling Jiang didn't know that Ya'er had actually saved a lot of silver taels for him in private, even if he spent a dozen taels to rent another house, it would not be a problem to eat and drink. Of course, this is a secret that only belongs to Ya'er, and she will not tell Ling Jiang unless she has to.

General Yulin Lang's Mansion is already full of dust, except for the innermost courtyard, all other places are used as warehouses to stock up, as for what is inside, no one knows.

There are not many people here on weekdays, and it is a rare depression in the downtown area.

Ling Jiang looked at the several sword scratches left on the door panel, and couldn't help but feel emotional, and muttered in a low voice, "Mr. Su, did you ever come here ten years ago?"

For some reason, when Ling Jiang saw this scene, his heart was slightly panicked, just like he was at Luo Jianya yesterday, and he was uncomfortable.

"Childe, what's wrong with you?" asked Ya'er softly from the side.

"It's fine. ”

The key was inserted into the rusty keyhole, and only to hear the slow sound of clicking, and the dusty courtyard door that had been sealed for ten years was finally opened again.
