Chapter 37: Proud Ancestral Hall, break away from the Xiao family! (4)
Every year, the freshman exam of Qianqiu College becomes a hot topic in the Imperial Capital of Chu, and this year is no exception. Xiao Yao, who came first in the first eight subjects, naturally became the focus of discussion this time.
At the same time, there is another thing that people are talking about, that is, the challenge of the Sihai Escort Agency and the expulsion of the thirteenth son of the Xiao family from the Xiao Mansion.
Chatting about the gossips of these big figures in Beijing after tea seems to have become one of the entertainments for the people in Beijing.
"The third young master of the Xiao family was once a dragon among men. At that time, he was also admitted to Qianqiu College with the first eight subjects. He was a suave man and charmed many young ladies from Beijing. It is a pity that such a character,
But he is such an infatuated person that he actually left a foreign country for a woman..."
"Yes, yes, it is said that a dragon begets a dragon, and a phoenix begets a phoenix. This Xiao family's thirteenth young master really has the true inheritance from his father, and he is also top-notch in eight subjects!"
"Let me tell you, I heard that Lao Zhang, who delivered tofu to the Xiao family, said that it was not the Xiao family that drove the Thirteenth Young Master out, but the Thirteenth Young Master who quit the Xiao family and severed ties with them!"
"Really, he is really just like his father. These young men don't enjoy the glory and wealth, but they run away from home for fun. They really don't know how to be blessed in the midst of blessings!"
…
In the Yuelai Inn, several people were eating and chatting. No one expected that the protagonist of this story was not far behind them at the moment, renting an inn guest room with his mother.
Helping his mother to the guest room upstairs, Xiao Yao casually put his luggage on the bedside, "You stay here for a while, I'll look for a house to live in!"
Liu Ruer didn't say much, she just untied the package and took out a small bag from the layers of clothes, "Take this to the pawn shop to pawn some money!"
Xiao Yao took the small bag doubtfully, and saw a pair of ruby earrings lying quietly in the small bag. The thumb-sized red gems sparkled in the dim light. He recognized them at a glance as a love gift from his father to his mother.
Xiao Yao couldn't help but feel a little pain in his heart. He wrapped the earrings and stuffed them back into his pocket. There was a hint of distress in Xiao Yao's smile.
"This is the last time. From now on, don't worry about money. Yao'er has his own way!"
Before Liu Ruer could say anything else, Xiao Yao had already turned around and left the guest room, walked all the way downstairs, and asked the owner of the store whether there was anyone renting a house nearby. It happened to be that the owner knew an acquaintance who wanted to rent a house.
I left Kyoto and returned to the countryside to retire. I have a small house that I want to sell.
"Although the house is not big, it is very clean and the price is fair. It is much more suitable than renting it for you. I think you are not an ordinary man. You might as well spend a few more taels of silver to buy it so that you can have a stable life.
Place!"
When Xiao Yao heard this, he immediately became interested, and the boss called the waiter to take Xiao Yao to see the landlord.
That house is not far from the inn, in the middle area between the north and south cities, sandwiched between two large houses. The owner is old. He used to be a minor official in Beijing. Now he has returned to his hometown. It has a three-bay courtyard with two entrances.
, there is also a small vegetable garden in the back, the asking price is 200 taels.
Xiao Yao saw that the old man was eager to take action, and he killed him several times, and finally settled the deal with one hundred and eighty taels of silver.
The two parties exchanged the contract with one hand and one hand, and asked the innkeeper to be the middleman to witness. The house was under Xiao Yao's name. The owner did not take away any large items from the house, which also saved Xiao Yao from buying more. That night, the mother and daughter
