Su Jin smiled awkwardly and laughed. When old Jiang and his wife came to their senses, they said: "My eldest brother and sister-in-law are here to study at Yingtian Academy, but I didn't make enough arrangements in advance. I didn't send someone to find a courtyard to rent. I don't know the place here."
There are no recruits, and school will start tomorrow. These people who come with me must have a place to stay, right? But time is tight, and I don’t know where to find a rental yard. Later, Zhao Hu said that you two have lived in the city for generations.
Tianfu asked him to bring me here to help you find it; I'm sorry for disturbing you by taking the liberty of coming here."
Lao Jiang put on a simple and honest smile and said: "Young master, what you said is going to kill us and our couple. When you think about our honor, don't you want to find a more elegant yard to rent?"
Things are easy to handle.”
Aunt Zhao also nodded and smiled, as if a husband and wife were following each other.
Su Jin smiled and said, "Thank you both so much. We came in a hurry and didn't bring any gifts. Sui'er gave you five guan of money as a meeting gift."
Xiao Sui'er took out five guan of money and handed it to him with a smile. This made old Jiang and his wife panic and hurriedly declined: "How can this make it absolutely impossible for us and my husband to take the young master's money? Girl, girl, take it back quickly. There will be no reward."
Lu."
Xiao Sui'er said with a smile: "Brother and sister-in-law, it doesn't mean anything if you accept me. If you don't accept my young master, you will definitely not feel at ease."
Su Jin also smiled and said: "If you accept the Xian couple but not accept them, you are looking down on me, Su Jin. Then we won't be able to settle here."
Zhao Hu also smiled naively and said: "After taking over my aunt, my boss's family has always been rich. He is one of the richest people in Luzhou Prefecture. Not to mention five guan, even 50,000 guan, our boss will not frown."
Su Jin rolled his eyes and said: This is not how you brag.
Old Jiang and his wife clucked their tongues. This young official could not have imagined that he could be such a wealthy master. Since everyone said so, he half-heartedly accepted it with great gratitude.
Old Jiang laughed and said: "Young Master Su must be a blessed man for being so benevolent. I will tell you that this young master will definitely be the top scholar in high school. Then my wife and I will rush to Luzhou Mansion with whips to congratulate you."
Su Jin laughed and said, "Thank you for your kind words. Thank you very much."
Lao Jiang turned to Aunt Zhao and said, "Didn't Qianer say that there is a big house for rent at the home of Mr. Zheng on the corner of the street? Go and see if it is still there. The house is quiet and elegant, suitable for Mr. Su to live in."
Aunt Zhao slapped her thigh and said, "Yes, why don't I forget about this problem? I'm going to go to Mr. Su, ladies and gentlemen, please wait a moment."
Xiao Sui'er said: "Sister-in-law, don't worry. I'll go with you to see if the house is suitable for living."
Huan Niang also stood up and said, "I'll go with you too."
Su Jin waved his hand and said: "Go to Xiaozhuxi and catch the car to take them there."
Aunt Zhao quickly waved her hands and said: "No need to go a few steps away, why bother bothering this little official?" After saying that, she walked out of the store and led Xiao Sui'er and Huan Niang towards the south corner.
Su Jin followed Lao Jiang in the shop, chatting about home affairs. It turned out that Lao Jiang and his wife had no children. The couple had been guarding this small shop for more than ten years, but they could barely make ends meet. Although Yingtian Mansion was the companion capital, it was also the Taizu.
It's a place where he made his fortune, but the social security can only be said to be barely there. There are not many murders and arson, but there are quite a few gangsters on the streets. Each of the four cities has its own people, and they make troubles on weekdays to collect merchants' plate fees, and the common people suffer from them.
If you bully Su Jin and others just now, they will be treated as thugs who charge plate fees.
Su Jinxin said: The crow in the world is like a black bird that has landed on an old sow. I am afraid that there are these people in Bianliang City at the feet of the emperor. This is helpless. Like leeks, they are cutting off one after another. It is impossible to catch them all.
So in the end, the four-city inspection team just came to a compromise with these people, as long as they didn't go too far and the government turned a blind eye and shut them down.
The two of them were chatting when Aunt Zhao came back with Xiao Sui'er and Huan Niang. The three of them had their faces burned by the sun. Aunt Zhao's face was purple, but the two girls' faces were all pink.
Su Jin quickly handed over her herbal tea. Xiao Sui'er shook her head and Huan Niang drank half of it with a blushing face.
"Why didn't Mr. Zheng come with you?" Old Jiang asked in surprise.
"Don't mention it, it's really unlucky." Aunt Zhao said with an annoyed look on her face as she raised the dark tea bowl and made it sound like a cow drinking.
"What? Isn't Mr. Zheng's house no longer available for rent?"
Aunt Zhao wiped her mouth with her sleeve and said, "That's not to say that if we go there in the afternoon, Zheng Daguan's house will still be there. It has just been rented by a few people. It seems that the person who comes to the academy to study is also a young man from a wealthy family."
Su Jin was extremely depressed. Why was this unlucky situation so bad?
Huan Niang suddenly said softly: "Sir, the tenant mentioned that we know each other and are acquaintances."
Su Jin wondered: "Are we familiar with each other? We don't have any acquaintances in Yingtian Mansion."
Huan Niang murmured in Su Jin's ear. Su Jin frowned and said in surprise: "Why is it that he can bump into ghosts wherever he goes? Let's rent a house and bump into him."
Aunt Zhao said: "Young official, please don't worry about the house. I'll go find the servant. I'll go and find out for you. The master is here to chat with the young master. The servant will go to the street to find Granny Huang and they can go around together."
Lao Jiang nodded and said: "Go, go, don't make me wait for a long time. Mrs. Huang and Mrs. Li tell them to ask around all day long. Maybe they can help."
Aunt Zhao agreed and walked out. Su Jin shouted: "Sister-in-law, you don't have to look for me if you stay here."
Aunt Zhao asked in surprise: "What? Don't junior officials need to find a house?"
Su Jin smiled and said, "Didn't you find it? Didn't you go there just now? Sui'er looks like they live in a shared house."
Xiao Sui'er nodded and said: "There are seven or eight rooms in the east and west across the two courtyards, adding up to a dozen rooms, not to mention the few of us. Even if there are twice as many people, we can live in the courtyard. It is neat and clean, and there are many flowers, plants and trees. It is very suitable."
live."
"But... Mr. Zheng Daguan has already promised those tenants, and the price offered by the tenants is not less than four yuan a month, and he promised to pay three months in advance. Mr. Zheng is almost grinning." Aunt Zhao said.
.
"So much? His big house is big, but the monthly rent is only three guan at most. This black-hearted old Zheng actually wants four guan. No wonder he is laughing from ear to ear." Lao Jiang sighed.
Su Jin asked: "Have you signed the agreement?"
Aunt Zhao asked: "What agreement?"
Su Jin looked for words and asked again: "Have you established a rental agreement?"
Aunt Zhao said: "That's right? Official Zheng wants to kill the people who are being taken advantage of."
Su Jin clapped his hands and said, "Sister-in-law, if you are in trouble, go tell Mr. Zheng that I am willing to pay double the price to rent that house and pay half a year's rent in advance."
The old Jiang and his wife were so open-mouthed that the boss had just said that they were being taken advantage of, but they didn’t expect that there was an even bigger taken advantage of here. Isn’t this taking the money and mistaking it?
"Little officials have so many empty houses that they can spend some time to find a better one, so why waste the money." Aunt Zhao said.
"It doesn't matter, just do as I say." Su Jin made up his mind to fight with the guy disguised as a man, but he was scolded for no reason and insisted on taking over the house today. It disgusted him.
Aunt Zhao didn't want to talk anymore, but Lao Jiang scolded her: "What are you talking about here? Didn't you see Mr. Su say it? It will be difficult to deal with it later if the time is wasted and the government is established."
Aunt Zhao shut up and hurriedly walked out. Su Jin thought about why he had to ask her to run back and forth. Wouldn't it be better for him to lead a group of people to finalize it on the spot?
So with a wave of his hand, a group of people followed Aunt Zhao to the Zheng family house on the corner of the street.dd
