Unfortunately, Chai Tiannuo, who had been immersed in the world of learning, realized that he had already reached the age where youth should be exciting.
"But you want to rent a house?"
A gentle and soft voice sounded. Chai Tiannuo turned around, and the faint fragrance of flowers rushed towards him. He couldn't help but hold his breath. Oh, what a big breast, what a charming person!
The woman who came was about twenty years old, at her most beautiful age, like a blooming peony, with a charming and graceful appearance. Chaitino was dazzled by the sight of her.
Suppressing the throbbing in his heart, Chai Tiannuo cupped his hands and said:
"You must be Sister Xi, I want to rent a house."
"Come with me."
The woman named Sister Xi nodded, pinched Man'er's little face gently with her hand, turned around and led the two of them towards the back street of Xiuchun Pavilion.
The two of them talked while walking, and Chai Tiannuo gradually got to know the Fireworks Alley of Bing'er Street.
The entire alley belongs to Xiuchun Pavilion. It was originally the area where the servants in the pavilion lived. A few years ago, two rows of buildings were built in the courtyard, and the place became idle.
Nowadays, they are rented to others for accommodation.
After looking at several houses in succession, Chaitino shook his head.
The rent was low, only two to three hundred cents, but the inside was too dirty and rotten. The slightly mysophobic Chaitino couldn't stand the smell.
Sister Xi was not impatient, but curiously asked Chai Tiannuo:
"Young gentleman, I see that your conversation is extraordinary and you are not like those renters. Why do you want to rent here?"
Chai Tiannuo grinned and talked about his affairs in general. Sister Xi's eyes suddenly lit up. She really didn't expect that a talented person would come here to rent.
"Since you want to sell calligraphy, there is a good land, it is clean and has a yard, but the rent is a bit more expensive, five hundred coins a month, do you want to take a look?"
Chai Tiannuo nodded repeatedly. Those houses just now were almost filled with garbage even if they were paid for free.
After turning the corner and coming to a quiet place, Sister Xi opened a room and led the master and servant in. After a brief look, Chaitino nodded with satisfaction, that's it!
The courtyard is not big, just a courtyard with one entrance, but for Chai Tiannuo and Man'er, it is quite big.
The front room can be used as a writing shop, and the two side rooms in the back are enough for himself and Man'er to live in. Especially the well in the middle of the yard. Chaitino took a look and found that it turned out to be clean running water. This was very suitable for him.
"Sister Xi, such a nice yard only costs 500 yuan. Isn't the rent a bit low?"
After seeing the side room, Chaitino began to have doubts. This house was a little too nice, and the rent of five hundred cents was a bit ridiculously low.
"It's cheap, so it's cheap for a reason."
Sister Xi, who had been smiling all the time, showed a hint of helplessness on her face:
"I won't hide it from you. There used to be a government official and his wife living here. They stayed there for more than half a year. For some reason, they were suddenly injured at night and became crazy."
"Someone picked him up the next day, and his beautiful wife also disappeared. Someone reported it to the government but was suppressed by the government. Since then, rumors have spread that this place is haunted. If it weren't for this, there wouldn't be many people in this yard.
You can't rent it for two cents."
ghost?!
Chai Tiannuo couldn't help but scratch his belly. He didn't dare to stay in a haunted place. He might as well choose a lucky house.
Sister Xi never noticed Chai Tiannuo's unnatural expression, but she was still minding her own business and said:
"If it were anyone else, I wouldn't introduce this courtyard, but you are a martial arts scholar, a martial arts star from the sky, and a mere brat. I think you should be able to control it."
Hearing this, Chai Tiannuo couldn't help but grin, "Well, there are nearly 10,000 talented people in a class, how many martial arts stars can we get?"
Then he laughed, and he was no longer the Chai Tiannuo he was before. He was responsible for dozens of lives, and had killed gods and monsters. If he was afraid of a small ghost, wouldn't it be a joke?!
"This yard is rented by someone!"
The procedure went through very quickly, and I paid a year's rent at once, a total of six taels of silver.
The little girl almost cried when she handed it over. In less than a day after arriving here, her wealth has bottomed out. The capital is too terrible!
After signing the two documents and pressing the fingerprints, Sister Xi folded one and stuffed it into her soft body. Chai Tiannuo was stunned to see that it had such a wonderful effect?
As the sky grew dark, Sister Xi said a few words and turned to leave. But before leaving, the beauty stretched out her green fingers and pinched Chai Tiannuo's face, and said with a charming smile:
"What a handsome young man, you look like a boy at first glance. Come to Xiuchun Pavilion to see me in your spare time. My sister will give you a big red envelope, no less than ten taels."
After the fragrant wind dissipated, it took Chaitino a long time to regain his composure. He touched his face and smiled bitterly. His whole body felt warm. I felt like I was going to have a fever.
"Master, now that you have some free time, hurry up and find her. It's a big red envelope. You don't have to tell her if you go a few more times. We can just play around all day long!"
The little girl's face was filled with longing, and Chai Tiannuo tapped her on the head:
"You think it's food? It's something you only have once in your life. Once it's gone, you can never get it back!"
The master and the servant put down their things and cleaned up. They are going to live there for a year. This is their own home and they must be tidied up.
While chatting, the little girl realized that Xiuchun Pavilion was actually a brothel selling meat.
"No wonder my sisters are so beautiful, they are all prostitutes."
Chaitino grinned while wiping the table. There was something wrong with what he said, as if all the beautiful people were in the flesh business.
"Young Master, weren't the Imperial College all gentlemen in the past? Why is there such a big fireworks alley here?"
The little girl's head was covered with a cotton handkerchief, and she asked curiously while sweeping away the dust.
"You don't understand this. The more educated people are in a place, the more brothels and prostitutes there are."
After wiping out the water stains on the rag, Chaitino said with a smile:
"As the saying goes, a polite scum, dressed like a beast, a talented man and a pink-headed man are a perfect match!"
"Without the support of famous prostitutes, there would be no world-famous talents."
"Without the help of talented people, there would be no world-famous courtesans. The two complement each other and are indispensable."
"So, isn't the relationship between the talented man and the courtesan just an awkward one?"
The little girl said with understanding. Chai Tiannuo almost spat out her foam. Xiao Nizi's understanding ability was simply...unbelievable!
"Master, according to you, you and Fen Tou are a perfect match?"
Looking at Man'er's big, bright eyes, Chai Tiannuo smiled bitterly:
"The ball is a perfect match. Some talented people are rich and handsome, but your young master is just a pauper."
Late at night, the master and servant, who had slept in the cart for more than a month, were lying on their long-lost bed and snoring heavily.
A black shadow jumped from a distance and landed gently on the roof without making any sound.
The black shadow slid down the eaves, passed through the window like running water, and quietly came to Chaitino's bed. He lowered his head and a white breath floated out from Chaitino's mouth and nose, and slowly flew towards the black shadow's nostrils.
"Bang!"
There was an explosion, and the black figure was punched away and fell through the window into the courtyard. Chaitino followed closely and rushed into the courtyard, his eyes reflecting the moonlight like a pair of bright pearls.
"There is a shadow under the moon, and the cannibals are angry. It seems you are a demon rather than a ghost!"
