Chapter 906 Rent the house and go back to the academy
A night of silence.
Early the next morning, Feng Zhou went to the academy to order a meal, then asked for leave and went out. He still had to find a house to settle down.
After coming out of Yuelai Academy, Feng Zhou walked around Dingxing County, preparing to find a quiet house where he could stay.
Let's decide whether to rent or buy.
Although he would definitely not stay in this small county town for long, even if he only stayed for half a year, he still had to make his place comfortable.
After all, I have one thousand taels of silver in my hand.
In this era, the average person's annual expenses are only a few taels of silver, and buying a private house only costs dozens of taels. In addition, Feng Zhou is not an ordinary person after all, and he is not willing to hang out with ordinary people.
But he is only one person, and his requirements are not high. He does not need to go in and out frequently. The place is quiet, has an independent yard, a kitchen, a bedroom and a hut.
As a student of the academy, Feng Zhou looks elegant, somewhat thin and somewhat slender, and wears a turban on his head. Although he is only fourteen years old, when he walks on the street, he will inevitably attract the attention of older girls and younger wives.
Fourteen years old, already half an adult...
However, only one person is needed to live in a house, but finding a house requires local cowards, so Feng Zhou is accompanied by a middle-aged man who is a broker.
Of course, the reason why Feng Zhou wandered around the county town was not just to find a house. The main reason was to take the opportunity to see the situation here.
Of course, being a county town and it being broad daylight, the streets were naturally bustling with people and it was very lively.
In total, it was exactly sixty years after the founding of the Ming Dynasty. Although the power of the country turned from prosperity to decline due to the Tumubao Incident, for the common people, it was still in a state of vitality.
“Candied haws on a stick~~~candied haws on a stick~~”
"The finest floral fabrics and the finest silks!!"
“Don’t miss it if you pass by, rouge gouache, they sell rouge gouache!!”
Whether it is a fixed store or a street stall, there are waiters who shout from time to time.
As a big shot who had always been aloof, Feng Zhou suddenly discovered that he had hardly ever walked around the streets, either now or deep in his dusty memory.
So this time Fengzhou needs to take a good turn.
From morning to noon, I walked to several places. Either the place was too remote, the place was too small, or the location was relatively noisy.
Feng Zhou has been led by the broker to the fifth location he visited today, which is in the north of the city and very close to Yuelai Academy.
There is a plaque on the gate of this courtyard, but the writing is blurry and cannot be read clearly.
Before Feng Zhou opened his mouth, the broker had already started to introduce: "This young gentleman, this is where you are, Bei'an Xiaoju. This place guarantees your satisfaction. The surrounding area is quiet. When you enter the courtyard, there is a well in the courtyard, and the back door of the courtyard is connected."
That vacant land also belongs to this house. If it is expanded, it will be enough to build a big house for a wealthy family!"
Feng Zhou nodded after hearing this, indicating that he had agreed, and said no more.
Although he has a young face, the broker dare not treat him like an ordinary child.
After all, this broker was staying at Ruyi Hall yesterday afternoon and witnessed Feng Zhou's power with his own eyes.
Seeing that he had nothing to do this morning, it was obvious that the heroes of Ruiyi Hall had endured this loss.
The broker was even more cautious and did not dare to neglect.
Seeing Feng Zhou nodding at this time, he quickly took out the copper key and opened the copper lock on the door.
"Crack...squeak~~"
It must have been no one living there for a long time. As soon as the door was opened, bursts of dust fell from it.
"Cough cough cough...cough...no one has lived there for a long time..."
The broker waved his hand and patted himself, and then asked Feng Zhou to come in.
Naturally, he couldn't see it. The dust couldn't even get close to Feng Zhou. It was two or three feet away from him and then drifted in all directions.
Feng Zhou walked with his hands behind his back. After walking in, his eyes lit up and he felt deeply satisfied.
The courtyard wall is not high and the gate is of ordinary style, but the courtyard is more exquisite. There is a back door between the main house and the side house.
There is a well in the yard, but it is covered with a large wooden cover. It should be that it will not be used for a long time to collect dust and leaves. There are also a few round stones pressed on it to prevent the cover from falling off.
In addition, in the courtyard, near the door of the main hall, there was a big tree. Its branches and leaves swayed in the wind and made a rustling sound, blocking the sunlight and making the courtyard noticeably cooler.
Feng Zhou expressed great satisfaction.
"Okay, this is the only one. I need to complete the formalities as soon as possible and move here today."
Feng Zhou said, raised his hand, and a small bag flew into the broker's hand. The guy weighed it slightly, "Good guy! There are five taels of silver in it!"
After deducting his commission, he can make a lot of money.
"Hehehe, it seems that Mr. must be very satisfied. I know that Mr. must like this. Moreover, this house is cheap. It only costs twenty-four taels of silver to buy it. Such a house has such a spacious place. Who wouldn't sell it?
Hundreds of taels of silver!!" The broker kept talking with a bright tongue.
"Why don't you buy such a cheap and elegant house? It's just a little dirty. Just arrange for someone to clean it up!"
Feng Zhou smiled and was in a good mood.
"Okay, okay, sir, just wait! Why don't you go to the county office immediately and hand over the house deed?"
The broker is obviously eager to get his hard-earned money. For this business of more than twenty taels, he can get a commission of almost two taels, which is not a small amount of money!
He walked out jumping up and down and suddenly became serious, but after all, it was his fame and strength!"
…
At this time, Yuelai Academy was there, and Fang San was holding the food in his hand in frustration.
After all, Fangjiacun is a long way from the county seat, and I can’t afford to go home for lunch at noon, so I usually bring food with me.
Usually Fang San has a big appetite. After eating his own food, he always thinks about eating Feng Zhou's food.
But after Feng Zhou left last night, he clicked a button and ran away this morning, which made him prepare a lot of words without saying anything.
This kid didn't go home all night and came and went again this morning. Could it be that he went somewhere to spend money and be happy?
Could it be that he stole the family's money and went out to have a good time?
This is so abominable!
He must be allowed to bear the punishment of the Fang family!
But what should I do if I can’t beat him?
While he was worried, he saw a few scholars walking in front of him, and his eyes lit up.
These guys are not good at studying. They tell stories about romantic affairs all day long and often extort money from other students.
Isn't this ready-made?
Moreover, they are three strong and ruthless guys.
Thinking of this, Fang San frowned, thought of it, and hurriedly rushed forward...
Another day later, Feng Zhou came to Yuelai Academy from his new residence. He just sat down.
Then a man came up to him and said: "Feng Zhou, Mr. Chen will hold a shooting ceremony later. The master has ordered people to move things. You can go."
It is the captain of this class, Zhao Detian, ‘
Feng Zhou looked up at him and said calmly: "I won't go!
"What did you say?" Captain Zhao Detian's expression suddenly changed.
"I'm not going!" Feng Zhou's tone was calm, but he said two words decisively.
"So, the academy's shooting ceremony is of no importance to you?" Zhao Detian snorted coldly, feeling extremely angry.
As the leader of the team, it is normal to arrange the students to do some miscellaneous things, so Zhao Detian had to imagine that Feng Zhou would reject him no matter what.
