Huang Nian led the way, and a few people went out to the east and walked to the street to turn south, and after three street intersections, they turned to the east street, and the young lady thought that this direction was about the same as the specialty street.

Huang Nian said: "This is the house where Li Ding, a member of the association, used to live, but it was just moved last year, and it was empty as a place to stay for the displaced refugees. ”

The young lady said: "This place is spacious, and it is very convenient to come and go, I like it, what do you think of Mo Qing?"

Mo Qing said in the back: "This whole courtyard occupies the space of the front and back two rows of houses, I think it is enough to use." ”

The young lady turned back to Huang Nian and said, "Just choose this place, take me to see Liding tomorrow, and I can buy this place and clean it as soon as possible." ”

Huang Nian said as he walked back: "Li Ding now lives in a car rental shop near the East City Gate, I will wait for the adults in front of the Songhe Tower at two o'clock tomorrow morning, how about we go together then?"

The young lady said, "It's so decided, I'll be at the Songhe Tower on time tomorrow." ”

A few people looked at the houses in the front yard again, they were all well maintained, although there were some dust and cobwebs, but the overall structure was not damaged.

After seeing the house, a few people walked out of the yard and walked out a few streets to the west, Huang Nian said, "I'll go home directly, adults walk slowly." The young lady said, "You also walk slowly." The men went home.

Back to Yanguo Gongguan, the kitchen had already prepared dinner, and when she saw that the three of them were back, the maid asked a few people if they were eating now, and the young lady said, "Give me a porridge with lotus seeds and lotus roots, and a plate of pickles." Ying Ning said, "I'll just eat the same thing as Miss." ”

Mo Qing thought in the back: "These two people have been eating so much for a day, and I don't know how to maintain it." But he said, "Bring me ten big steamed buns, three bowls of lotus seed porridge, and a little bit of any dish." The maid and the handyman went to serve food and food to the three of them, and the three of them went separately to their own houses and did their own things.

At two o'clock in the morning of the next day, the three of Miss Ning Moqing came to the door of Songhe Tower, and Huang Nian was already waiting. After several people converged, they walked together in the direction of the east city gate, walked two streets, turned north, crossed two street intersections, turned east and walked past two private houses, and saw the Liding car rental shop, the door was open, and people came and went.

Huang Nian led the three people into the yard and walked directly inside, Miss saw that the scale of this car rental shop is not small, the front yard has a thousand square meters, the location of the east and west ear rooms are horse sheds, the south wall is a small shed built of wood to put carriages, there are freight carriages and carriages for pulling people, there are two gates in the yard on both sides of the south wall, there are ten main houses in the north, and the two main rooms with the largest doors can see the people who handle the rental car in and out.

Huang Nian led a few people to the front of the main room and said, "Wait a minute, adults, I'll go and call Liding to come out." After speaking, he walked into a main room with an open door, which was very busy, and when he saw Huang Nian, he asked, "The young nephew is here for the day before yesterday?"

Huang Nian said: "Exactly, please come out for a while." ”

Riding said, "Wait a minute. After speaking, he called a guy, handed over the matters in hand, walked out with Huang Nian, came to the young lady, and greeted each other.

Riding said, "Please come with me to the house to complete the handover procedures." ”

A few people followed Li Ding through a small door to the backyard, the backyard is much smaller, occupying a room on North Street, only more than 200 square meters, there are also three main rooms and four ear rooms, Li Ding took a few people into a main room, shouted to the family to come over, all got to know each other, and then asked his wife to get the title deed.

The young lady asked, "How much does Uncle Li's house cost?"

Ridin said: "The adults are also members of the fellow townspeople's association, so I will sell them cheaply and get a capital." ”

The young lady said, "Uncle is not polite, just offer the price." "I thought to myself: I just heard Huang Nian say that many of the helpers here are refugees, so I want to help Liding.

Li Ding said: "Your Excellency can give 100,000 dollars." Li Ding thought that if he didn't pay for it, he would meet with the members of the fellow villagers in the future.

The young lady put her left hand into her bosom, took out a few handfuls of broken silver, at least more than one hundred and fifty taels, and said, "I don't have so many knife coins, do you think these silver are enough?" Now the ratio of silver to knife coins is one tael of silver for a thousand knife coins, Li Ding looked at the silver on the table and said, "It seems to be more." ”

At this time, Liding's wife came in with the title deed, and the young lady said, "It's good to have more, the uncle can do more help, and act on my behalf." ”

Riding said: "When my lord said so, I donated the extra money to the fellow townspeople's association, and everyone used it together." In my heart, I also faintly regarded Miss as the boss of the hometown association.

Huang Nian took the title deed and looked at it, handed it to the young lady, the young lady took it and looked at it, turned to Mo Qing and said: "You can keep this house deed and you can prepare for cleaning tomorrow, pick up your family as soon as possible, and work in the hometown association on my behalf." ”

Mo Qing took the parchment roll and put it in his arms. He can't read and write, and he can't read, so he can do whatever the young lady tells him to do.

When everything was done, the young lady stood up and said to Liding, "We won't make trouble for the uncle, and there will be a period later." ”

Riding said, "Your Excellency, let's wait until we eat before leaving." ”

The young lady said: "Thank you Uncle for your kindness, this place is busy, don't bother Uncle." "After that, he walked out the door.

Li Ding sent a few people out of the gate, talked to a few people about walking slowly on the road, and went back to busy his own business.

On the way, Huang Nian said: "If you want to clean the shelter tomorrow, I can go to some refugees to help." ”

The young lady said, "That's right, let Mo Qing pay them according to the hired workers." Turning to Mo Qing and continuing, "When you go back, you come to my room first, I have something to say." ”

Mo Qing agreed, and a few people continued to walk, and when they arrived at Songhe Tower, Huang Nian said: "I'll go to handle the preparation of manpower, and Mo Qing will wait at the office tomorrow." ”

Several people said goodbye to each other, and the young lady took the two of them home.

Bi Jiu was basking in the sun in the courtyard to coax the children, and when he saw the young lady coming back, he said, "Tomorrow, we will go to the court to present the national gift, and the adults should prepare early." ”

The young lady said, "Thank you for the reminder, tomorrow we will go to the palace." After speaking, he went back to his room, sat on the edge of the kang and let Mo Qing sit on the stool, and said to Mo Qing: "Tomorrow I will go to the court, and I will not care about the affairs of the office, this is a year's honorarium for you, you have collected it." After speaking, he reached into his bosom and took out two pieces of silver, about twenty taels, and handed them to Mo Qing.

Mo Qing said: "The adults have already given me an honorarium, so I don't need to give it anymore." ”

The young lady said: "You take it, this place is no better than the Erudite Master's Mansion, everything costs money, and you have to equip the bank with a horse to facilitate travel, and the expenses will not be less." ”

Mo Qing said: "The adults are thoughtful, and I will do it." After saying that, he took the silver and picked it up.
