Hong Tao's words not only confused Lei Liang and his tenants, but also confused Mr. Luo and Grandma Luo.
Mr. Luo was a little angry, "What the hell is going on with you? I just want to find a tenant, why is it so complicated?"
After all, Li Fangchong is an insider. After hearing so much, he probably knows what is going on. He despises Luo Liang's behavior in his heart, and even explains for Hong Tao:
"Master, please don't be angry. After all, the fault lies with this young man. There must be no malicious competition between fangs and teeth. Later, when this young man learned that you had entrusted this little girl to your entrustment, he still intervened.
Feet, this has broken the rules of the industry."
"Not only that." Hongtao continued: "He also deceived you. First he said that he knew me well and was doing things for me; now he brought someone to pretend to be a tenant. Grandpa and grandma, if I were you, I would have to accept this kind of person.
Get a broom and drive them out."
Lei Liang felt guilty, but he said hard: "You're talking nonsense. This is obviously the tenant I'm looking for. He doesn't want to settle today. You have to force him, but aren't you scaring him?"
Hong Tao chuckled and said to Lei Liang's tenant: "When we buy something, even if we like it, we have to pretend to be dissatisfied. But you are sincere and think that seven taels is too cheap. You wish you could give eight or nine taels."
You are so generous, you are truly a bodhisattva-hearted person and the most good person in the world."
The tenant blushed at the ridicule, but still argued, "I am an honest person, but am I breaking the law?"
"Then you like it like this, why are you still hesitating? Now the house is given to you, but you won't rent it. My tenant wants to rent it, but you still don't allow it. You are the ancestor of Jindan and you don't have such a big face?" Hong Tao glared.
He glared at Lei Liang and the two with hatred.
The tenant choked and finally couldn't find anything to say. He looked at Lei Liang tentatively and saw that the latter didn't know what to say. He simply put down his choice and said, "I don't care about this matter. Anyway, I have seen the house and I don't want the money."
Back off." After saying that, he turned around and left.
Lei Liang was caught off guard and wanted to call the tenant to stop, but it was too late.
He knew that he had been completely exposed, and if he continued to pretend, it would only make him more embarrassed, so he could only point at the heart in anger: "You are maliciously slandering me. I will definitely report this to Mr. Huang."
At this moment, Mr. Luo finally understood that from beginning to end, this kid was lying to me, so he angrily said: "You kid, why are you so evil-minded? Get out of here."
Lei Liang gave the red peach a final look and left angrily.
Hongtao sighed regretfully, "If that boy hadn't caused trouble, how could it have been so troublesome?" What a waste of her time.
Then he asked Mr. Luo: "Master, I will act as mediator for six taels per month, is that okay?"
Mr. Luo felt embarrassed at first, but he didn't expect that it would turn out to be a mistake. He even apologized, "I can't tell the difference between good and bad, so I'm causing trouble for you."
Hongtao smiled and waved her hand, "This is none of your business. The ones who are messing around are the ones who run away."
Then he looked at Sanjiangyan and the weak man, "You two, don't argue. This house is the best for rekindling your relationship." He then asked Sanjiaoyan, "If you are willing to rent it, then I will rent this house to you. But I
You have to sign the deed today."
The triangle-eyed man nodded without hesitation. The other person asked anxiously, "What about me?"
"Don't panic, you two..." Hong Tao looked at Li Fangchong, "Find them a house in the southeast and northwest. These two directions can bring good luck."
Li Fangchong nodded in confusion, then looked at the other two apologetically, "You two, when this is finished, I will take you to see other houses immediately."
Hongtao took out the lease deed issued by the Yamen in advance, made it in duplicate, and asked Sanjiangyan and Mr. Luo to sign each. Then he asked Sanjiangyan for six taels and eighty copper coins, six taels of which were handed over to Mr. Luo, and one to Mr. Luo.
Seventy-two copper coins were given to Li Fangchong out of the eighty coppers, and then he took the contract and went to the Yamen to apply for an introduction.
Although he had earned some money, Hong Tao obviously didn't want to donate the hard-earned money to the carriage, so he still ran back. When he ran back to the Yamen, he was already in charge.
Arriving at the yamen office, while Hongtao was waiting for the yamen official to stamp his seal, he chatted with the yamen official: "Besides me, has anyone else completed the assessment?"
The official nodded: "You are the fourth, and there are three more in front of you."
Hong Tao was a little surprised, "Then when did they come to do the introduction?"
The official thought for a while and said, "The fastest one is Fan Fangya's apprentice, who came here in half an hour."
It was half an hour ahead of her. He made a sound of hearts, feeling a little depressed.
The government officials did not expect that she, a little girl and the youngest, could actually complete the examination, so he developed a good impression of her. Hearing that her voice was a little dull, he comforted her:
"Fan Fangya's apprentice has been following Fan Fangya in doing house bug work. He has a lot of customers on hand, so naturally he is faster. The other two are also doing house bug work. In comparison,
, you are really awesome."
When Hongtao heard this, she became happy again, "In that case, can I also be assigned to a good place? Do you know where I can be assigned?"
The official shook his head and smiled, "How would I know? It all depends on how you arrange it."
Hongtao let out a disappointed sound again. In her opinion, the large area allocated to Jiuquli was the best. She was familiar with it, and the housing prices were expensive. If she was allocated to a place slightly outside the Shadi Alley, she would have to start again.
It takes a lot of trouble to touch the ground.
"When will the results be available?" she asked again.
"Generally, the results will be available in two days. This assessment will last until tomorrow morning, so the results should be available the day after tomorrow at the latest." The official said.
Hongtao thanked her. After the official had finished sealing the two contracts, she took the contract back to Luo's house in Shadi Hutong and gave each of Mrs. Luo and Sanjiangyan a contract. This was done.
Head back home.
...
Back at Taoyaju, everyone in the family was there. Although Hongtao was tired after a long day, he still kept his passion for telling everyone what happened throughout the day. He didn't finish talking until he got off the dinner table.
Seeing that she was really tired, Qingyu pushed her to rest and sleep. This rest lasted for two days.
Early in the morning on the third day, Hongtao came to the gate of the inner city early to wait for the list to be posted. However, she was not the first person. Several people had already arrived.
A group of people waited until Chen Zheng finally waited for the Yamen officer to post the results.
Hongtao squeezed to the front. There were nine people on the list who passed the assessment. She found her name, but did not see the area assigned to her. When she was about to ask, she heard the Yamen officer say: "Those who passed the assessment will go to Hu Cao
The Yamen will pick up the identity badge and tell you the assigned area on the spot."
So Hongtao and others entered Cao Yamen, a household in the inner city.
In the back hall of the yamen, the officials had prepared identification badges in advance. When all nine people arrived, they began to read out names and issue identification badges, and at the same time informed them of the area they were responsible for.
The first person, the second person, and the third person are all assigned to the inner circle.
Hongtao thought it was her turn to be the fourth person, but unexpectedly she was called by a strange name again. She felt strange, but she waited patiently.
The fourth person is also within the inner circle.
She should be the next one. Hong Tao thought, but then the fifth person, the sixth person, and until the seventh person called out, it was her turn.
Hongtao became more and more suspicious. She went forward and received her identity card. Just when she was about to ask about the area she was assigned, the official said first: "The area you are responsible for is from the arcade in the east to the eighth corridor in the west, from Pipa in the south, to Qilu in the north.
bend."
Hong Tao was confused: "These places are not in the inner circle. Am I assigned to the outer circle?"
The officer looked at her expressionlessly, without explaining, and called out the next person's name.
Hong Tao heard someone laughing behind her, and she felt something was wrong more and more. She was only familiar with the inner circle and the area close to the outer circle. She had never heard of the arcade pipa. It was obviously completely outside the circle.
She finally couldn't help it and asked: "I am clearly ranked fourth in speed, why are the fifth ranked people assigned to the inner circle, but I am in the outer circle?"
