Chapter 016: Ancient House

Jian Hua Rujin kept looking at the noisy county government office, and Shu Jinxuan immediately saw her intention and asked worriedly: "Cousin, do you also want to be a lawyer?"

Hua Rujin just smiled and said nothing.

"This is really not a good job."

Shu Jinxuan looked at the noisy county government office and slowly frowned:

"Even if you offend others, you won't earn much money. What's more, you are still a girl. How can you go through such troubles like them? Not everyone can achieve the position of one of the four famous speakers in Jiangling City. Those down-and-out people over there

What happened to Zi is the norm,

Besides, the women who dare to do this are either brazen enough to boast that they have some talents and have ended up in a brothel, or they are fearless widows. The rest are the playboys from powerful families who come out to meddle in other people's affairs for fun."

After thinking about it, he said very seriously: "When you were studying in our school, you often accompanied me and my eldest brother to sort out medicinal materials. I remember that you could write some simple prescriptions at that time. Even my eldest brother praised you for being good at it.

You are quite gifted in medicine, so why not go to our pharmacy first and do some light work of picking up medicinal materials? When the time is right, I will open a branch in the city and let you take charge of it. This will save you the trouble of going back to my grandmother's house."

"I appreciate my cousin's kindness."

Hua Rujin replied calmly.

His tone was so sincere that people couldn't bear to refuse.

If the original one was still there, I would have been extremely moved when I heard his arrangement.

As for practicing medicine, lawyers, although they are not proficient in everything, are still barely knowledgeable and knowledgeable.

She actually did a little bit of study in her early years. After all, she came from a forensic background, and with the experience accumulated by the original owner in this field, if she studied hard for a while, she might actually be able to make some fortune.

It's just that everyone has his own ambitions. Even if he can't be a salty fish and lie flat, he should at least fight to the end in the field he loves.

Although Shu Jinxuan noticed some changes in her temperament, he couldn't think of the reason. It was probably because he had suffered a lot of grievances at the Dou family in the past few years.

Furthermore, he felt that his cousin's reluctance to go to his own medical clinic must be due to his grandmother's past gossip, so he stopped forcing him, his expression changed, and he said with a smile: "Then I will accompany you to buy books later.

I will help you expand your territory in Jiangling City, and we will kill every one of the four famous people."

Hearing these words, Hua Rujin couldn't help but chuckle: "My cousin, with his momentum, he should be a general marching and fighting to regain the lost land. He shouldn't stay in Jiangling City and work as a doctor."

Shu Jinxuan didn't expect it to be so complicated, so he laughed coquettishly, and his beautiful apricot eyes narrowed into a straight line with the smile.

He put two more steamed buns into her bowl and imitated her previous tone of urging: "Eat quickly. After you finish eating, go to the bookstore. The favorite place for scholars in Jiangling City is Ningyuan Bookstore in the south of the city.

There is only one place that has the most complete collection of books you want to buy. I heard that it contains not only classics from past dynasties, but also the most complete collection of scripts."

"It seems that my cousin reads a lot of story books on weekdays."

"Not really, just...occasionally."

"Then let's go to Ningyuan Bookshop."

After deciding where to go, after filling her stomach, Hua Rujin took out 20 cents and handed it to the store, and then got on the Shu family's carriage.

The driver was very attentive, knowing that his young master had just finished his breakfast, so he slowed down the car and drove slowly all the way.

After walking for a while towards the south of the city, Hua Rujin suddenly saw a middle-aged man in luxurious clothes standing in front of the door of a unique courtyard through the car curtain, looking around anxiously.

From time to time, he would stop passers-by and ask a few questions, but after being ignored, he would stand back where he was with a lonely look on his face.

Shu Jinxuan saw the strange look on her face and immediately noticed something was wrong. When the carriage was only a few meters away from the middle-aged man, he suddenly stopped the carriage.

"Why, does my cousin recognize that person outside?"

Shu Jinxuan hesitated for a while.

Hua Rujin slowly shook her head, and then she saw the middle-aged man walking over and asked with great enthusiasm: "You two young ladies, do you want to rent an apartment?"

"Rental apartment?"

Hua Rujin thought for a while and then realized: "Do you want to rent this yard?"

"Exactly."

The middle-aged man looked a little anxious: "This place is located in the treasured land of Jiangling City, and the location is perfect. Because my wife is about to give birth, I have to rush back to the old house as soon as possible, but the previous tenant suddenly changed his mind.

Not only do we have to look for tenants again, but you said I won’t be able to come back in a while, if it remains idle and there is no one to take care of it.”

"How much silver?"

I just had the idea of ​​moving to the city, and I met a renter, and Hua Rujin immediately became interested.

Seeing her sincere expression, the middle-aged man cautiously stretched out his fingers: "Two...twenty taels of silver per month. If the lady can pay off the whole year in one lump sum, I will only charge twenty taels."

"Two taels of silver a month?"

Shu Jinxuan was alert: "The house in the south of the city is considered the most prosperous outside Jiangling City. Why are you renting it out so cheaply? Are you trying to trick us?"

"How dare you."

The middle-aged man immediately took out the household registration certificate and house deed hidden in his arms and handed it into the carriage: "I am absolutely innocent. This is the house I bought here a few years ago. It has been registered with the government and you two have seen it.

I really had an emergency, otherwise I wouldn’t have rented it out at such a low price.”

Although it was cheap, twenty taels of silver was not a small amount at one time. Hua Rujin hesitated and handed the house deed back to the middle-aged man.

"It's better to go and have a look."

Shu Jinxuan smiled and said: "Fortunately, it's still early, so I don't have time to go to Ningyuan Bookstore after seeing the house. I just want to find a house to store medicinal materials."

Hearing what he said, Hua Rujin had no choice but to get out of the carriage.

As soon as she entered the house, a cool breeze hit her face, and Hua Rujin couldn't help but tremble.

"I have dug several deep wells in my courtyard. Master, if the young lady lives here, I will be sure to be warm in the winter and cool in the summer."

The middle-aged man pointed to the courtyard with a smile and introduced everyone.

Hua Rujin looked around casually in the yard, minding her own business. Although it was not comparable to those luxurious mansions, both the furnishings and the scenery were extremely unique. It could be considered an elegant courtyard. No matter how you thought about it, it was more than worth it.

Two silver coins.

"Isn't your house a haunted house?"

Shu Jinxuan raised questions again.

"Oh, sir, this is really a great injustice of yours."

The middle-aged man retorted without a red face and a heartbeat: "Young master, you can go to the government and ask. This house is very clean. There has never been a murder. It was built less than ten years ago. I have always lived alone. How can I talk about a haunted house?"

.”

Hua Rujin looked carefully again, looking back and forth in the entire yard. Judging from the color of the wood and paint on the house, it was indeed a new house that had been built recently.

Moreover, he dared to guarantee that he would go to the government to inquire and prove that there had been no murders here and that it was not a haunted house.

Thinking about it, there was indeed another reason why he was so eager to rent it out so cheaply.

Although Shu Jinxuan was not familiar with this house, he was quite familiar with the situation in the south of the city. After carefully confirming the structure of the house, he came over and asked Hua Rujin: "Cousin, what do you think?"

"Anyway, it's just a warehouse for storing medicinal materials. It's nothing serious."

Hua Rujin thought: If she had a lot of money and such a good house was so cheap, she would definitely buy it immediately.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, Shu Jinxuan took out a few coins and handed them to the middle-aged man: "I want this house. Could you please write a lease contract?"
