However, it was said that it was always difficult to find a house in Fengcheng. The second courtyard house that Luomei and Zhou Zaichu had their eyes on could really be said to have a little bit of fate in it.
This second courtyard was originally the residence of a fourth-rank petty official. Because he retired and returned to his hometown, the house had to be sold.
The news that this fourth-rank official was selling his house had not yet spread, but Luo Mei and Zhou Zaitu came across them.
At that moment, Luomei and Zhou Chaotou inspected the house and paid the deposit.
The luggage of this fourth-grade official had already been packed. When he saw that he had paid the deposit and heard that Luomei said that her young master (referring to Ye Xue) was a candidate who went to Beijing to take the exam, he immediately told Luomei and asked her to call Ye Xue.
If Ye Xue is sure, his family will move home tomorrow, and Ye Xue can move in.
Luomei knew that she, a little maid, could not sell this house with more than a dozen rooms for a total of eight thousand taels (one tael of silver is equivalent to a thousand copper plates, and one steel plate is equivalent to one dollar).
Gain the trust of these four-rank officials.
Luomei remembered her identity. She did not show off the pair of ice jade earrings worth hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in her sleeves. She only went back to the inn with Zhou Zaitu and called Ye Xue over.
When the night snow passed, she was very satisfied with the house and paid the full payment on the same day.
Seeing that Ye Xue was so upright, the fourth-grade officer invited Ye Xue to stay for a meal, and finally sent Ye Xue out. The next day, before dawn, he asked his servants to load the luggage into the car and take them with him early.
The family left and handed the keys to the house to Luomei and Zhou Chaowei, who were sent by Ye Xue.

After finding a house, it’s time to move.
When they learned that Ye Xue was moving, the three scholars who shared the house happened to find a suitable house. After having a drink with Ye Xue in the inn, they asked Ye Xue to move and invite her to a housewarming party.
There are three scholars whom Ye Xue knows. One is named Han, named Ming, and given the courtesy name Zishu; the second is named Wei, given the given name Ya, and given the courtesy name Xingzhou; the last one is named Zhuang, given the given name Zheng, and given the courtesy name Yunquan.
These three people were the closest to Ye Xue in the Hongyun Inn.
The three of them are all in their twenties, and Ye Xue admires Han Ming the most. He is very knowledgeable, but a little pedantic, but his upright and upright spirit is very eye-catching. The second person Ye Xue admires is Wei Ya.
Ya is the youngest, very talented and spiritual in poetry, but still immature in dealing with things and people; the last one is Zhuang Zheng, although Zhuang Zheng has a good name, he just deals with people, although Han Ming, Wei Ya
She couldn't see it, but Ye Xue felt that this man was too aware of current affairs and too worldly - this was nothing. The most annoying thing was that Zhuang Zheng always pretended to be upright.
However, Ye Xue knew Zhuang Zheng because of Zhuang Zheng's close relationship with Wei Ya and Han Mingzheng.
Wei Ya made a fuss about asking Ye Xue to treat him to a drink at his new residence, and Ye Xue of course agreed.
However, there was a lot of furniture to be added to the more than a dozen second-in-a-side courtyard houses, so Ye Xue said that she would wait until everything was ready before adding any furniture.
Wei Ya and Han Ming both had smiles on their faces after hearing this. But Zhuang Zheng and Ye Xue looked at him. Ever since they heard her say that she bought the house in that alley, jealousy flashed in their eyes and they kept smiling.
Meat doesn’t smile.
Ye Xue had no time to pay attention to Zhuang Zheng, they were just acquaintances anyway.
After moving the luggage from the inn to the courtyard, Ye Xue and Zhou got into trouble, and Luomei went to the slave market in Fengcheng.
A house with more than a dozen rooms is not something that Ye Xue, Luomei, and Zhou Chai can manage.
