Xiaoyu stepped forward and Yu Liufei stepped aside.
"Sister, this is polite. This is my attendant. I don't know much about etiquette. Please forgive me." Xiao Yu imitated the appearance of an old scholar and bowed.
The fat woman laughed and said, "It's okay, it's okay. My surname is Zhang. Just call me Sister Zhang. Does this gentleman want to rent a house? My house is large and spacious, and it is most suitable for someone with a high temperament like you." People live.”
Xiao Yu thought to herself: I have a high temperament, but I am still a prostitute stolen from a brothel, so what kind of temperament can I have?
"Yes, yes, I am from the south of the Yangtze River. Because my family lived at the foot of the mountain, a flash flood occurred and the house collapsed. I took my followers with me all the way here. I saw the outstanding people in Tianshui County and planned to settle here. I heard that eldest sister, you There was an unused house here, so I came here with my entourage to ask, no.
I want to know if your house can be sold, eldest sister. If not, rent it for a while. After my entourage and I have settled here, it won’t be too late to move out. "
The fat woman took a look at the package carried on Xiaoyu's shoulders. It was bulging and contained a lot of money. These two people were probably businessmen who came to Anjia in Tianshui County to do business, so she smiled and said: "Sir, I am The house is quite big, with East Street at the door. If you rent it, it will be convenient for doing business. As long as the price is right, selling it is not impossible."
Xiaoyu frowned, stretched out her left hand and patted the package she was carrying on her right shoulder, and replied: "Sister, your house has several acres of land at least. I'm afraid I don't have enough money to afford it, so I'm just here today. Bring money to take a look, as long as you can rent it for a few months."
Seeing this, Sister Zhang hurriedly smiled and said: "Sir, you can see that my house is not expensive, only twenty taels of silver a month. You can live here casually with these big bags of money."
Xiao Yu thought to herself: You fat woman, you don’t have a dark heart! ! Twenty taels of silver a month, twenty taels of silver is enough for a farmer to build a spacious house. Fortunately, I am not here to rent land. I ask for high prices. No wonder you, a fat woman, have never rented out your house.
"Okay, eldest sister, let's see how the house is doing first." Xiao Yu muttered.
Sister Zhang replied: "Okay, okay, please come in."
Xiaoyu winked at Yu Liufei and ordered: "Look across the way. Once the immortal master comes out, you must respectfully invite him over and tell him that we will ask him for fortune telling and feng shui."
Yu Liufei nodded. Since Xiao Yu said that she was his follower, he respectfully said: "Yes, sir."
Xiaoyu nodded and followed the fat woman into the house.
"Look, this place is so bright and spacious. This is the front courtyard. This large dam is enough to hold dozens of banquet tables. You follow me in, and I will take you to see the verandah. Let's go to the back garden. The verandah is wide. , it’s very good at keeping out wind and rain. There are rockery pools in the backyard and everything you need. It’s a good place to enjoy flowers in spring and snow in winter.
square"
After hearing this, Xiao Yu secretly thought to herself that she had visited this yard yesterday. The yard had been deserted for a long time, and there were weeds everywhere. If she really rented it, she would have to spend a lot of money to hire someone to clean it.
Then he followed the fat woman and listened to her chatter, but he didn't listen to a word of it. He was thinking about how to trick the old Taoist priest: if he just asked the old Taoist priest to give him the silver cloth, Give the bag to yourself, the old guy will definitely not do it. Besides, the old guy should have a lot of banknotes on him. If possible, try to get as much money out as possible. I'm afraid that the old guy's banknotes are all in his possession. The inner pocket of the cotton-padded jacket inside the yellow coat is difficult to deceive, but there must be a lot of loose money in his cloth bag. Yesterday, I saw him cheating and stealing on the street. I'm afraid there were hundreds of loose coins in the cloth bag.
Silver, I hope he doesn't exchange the silver notes at the bank, otherwise all this will be in vain. Silver notes are easy to carry and difficult to cheat. If you can defraud him of the loose silver in the bag, that is the biggest hope.
"Sir, sir!" Sister Zhang led Xiao Yu to the wide road on the side of the rockery in the backyard, pointed to the main room next to it, and asked Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu came back to her senses and asked: "Sister, please continue talking."
Sister Zhang replied: "Sir, let me ask you, do you want to go in and see the main room?"
Xiao Yu looked at the weeds growing on both sides of the road in front of her door, and there were two winter plum trees inside that were almost covered by grass. She then looked at the old main room, nodded, and replied, "Tell me, let's see. Let’s take a look over there.”
Sister Zhang walked in front, opened the door of the house with the key, pushed it open, and walked in with Xiao Yu.
The inside of the hall is relatively clean. On both sides are empty shelves stacked with bamboo slips and books, with one or two volumes of bamboo slips on top. On the wall of the main hall hangs a picture of an old willow bolted cow, with a nanmu coffee table and two chairs underneath.
Sister Zhang stepped forward, wiped the chair with her silk, and said to Xiao Yu: "Sir, please sit down."
Xiaoyu heard this and tried to sit down, pretending to look at the things up and down in the room.
Seeing this, Sister Zhang hurriedly said: "Sir, please sit down for a moment, and I will bring you a cup of tea."
Xiaoyu replied: "Okay, thank you, sister."
Hearing this, Sister Zhang smiled and said, "You scholars are just polite. Please sit down for a moment and I will come over. You can look around this courtyard as you please."
Before Xiao Yu could answer, Sister Zhang turned around and left, leaving Xiao Yu alone waiting there.
After a while, Sister Zhang did not come, but Yu Liufei walked in quickly and slowly, shouting: "Xiao Yu, no no, sir, the immortal master is out. I invited him over and is waiting at the door."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu hurriedly stood up, followed Yu Liufei out, and replied: "Quick, quick, quick, how about inviting the immortal master to take a look at the yard for us?"
At this time, the fat woman Sister Zhang brought tea over. Seeing the two of them going out, she hurriedly asked: "Where are you going, sir? Don't leave in a hurry.
Dear, this chapter is not finished yet, there is still another page^0^ We can’t negotiate the price easily, but I can rent it to you for a few taels cheaper! "
Xiao Yu respectfully replied: "Sister, your yard is very nice. Could you please put my tea on the coffee table inside, and then go make a cup of tea? I have a friend here, and I want to invite him to the inner hall. Yishu, don't worry, I've rented your house, you don't need to rent it to me cheaply, I'm not short of money."
After hearing this, Sister Zhang smiled and replied: "Okay, sir, please go slowly, I will make tea for you right now." After she answered Xiao Yu, she put Xiao Yu's tea on the coffee table in the room, and then He hurriedly made tea for the guests Xiaoyu wanted to invite.
Xiaoyu followed Yu Liufei all the way through the corridor to the door, and looked at the old Taoist priest standing between the bluestone slabs in the front yard with a solemn look on his face.
Xiao Yu hurriedly took two steps together to greet him, and said with a smile: "Wan Sheng has met the immortal master."
The old Taoist priest was holding a pole to hang the canvas, looked at Xiao Yu, and said with a smile: "I have seen you, sir. I heard from your follower that you came to me specifically today to tell your fortune and read Feng Shui. Is this the case?"
Xiaoyu was dressed as a member of the military, with a beard and some dust on his face. At first glance, he really thought he was a member of the military. He looked elegant, so the old Taoist priest also called him sir.
Xiaoyu replied:
"Old Immortal Master, to be honest, my followers and I came here from the Jiangnan area. Because our family had some financial problems, we wanted to find a place to stay in Tianshui County so that we could do some business and prepare for a comeback.
Yesterday I rested at the end of the bridge and watched you telling fortunes for the old owner of the Lai family village across the street. You were so clever that I followed your whereabouts. The owner of the Lai family village invited you to be a guest, so I didn't want to disturb you.
After waiting for today, I happened to find this house and planned to rent it. I heard that Master Xian was resting at the Lai Family Bank opposite. It was a good time, so I asked my entourage to wait for you there. I wanted to invite you over. I look at some Feng Shui, and fortune telling is the next best thing.
You also know that when we go out to do business, the most important thing is Feng Shui. As the saying goes, if you live well, you will have smooth sailing. Do you think so? "
Hearing this, Huang Daoling took a look at the house and thought to himself, "Looking like this, he looks like a member of the Communist Party of China. Someone who can afford to rent this big house can also travel with his entourage. Of course he is not a rich man. Listen to him." Having said that, when I was telling Mr. Lai's fortune yesterday, I had the impression that there was indeed such a guy resting next to him, but the money he brought to his door was really worthless.
Thinking of this, Huang Daoling smiled slightly and replied: "Thank you for your kindness, sir, what you said makes perfect sense. This living place is as convenient as a human foot. If you stand firm on your heels, you will naturally walk smoothly. You If you want to ask a poor Taoist to tell you some Feng Shui, please tell me in detail. I am not very talented, but Feng Shui is actually better than fortune telling."
Xiao Yu didn't believe in fate or Feng Shui. What he cared about was the money in his bag. Xiao Yu glanced at his canvas bag from the corner of his eye. It was bulging. It looked like he had stolen loose money. I haven't exchanged it for a banknote yet, so I feel more at ease.
Sister Zhang came over early, listened to the conversation between the two, hurriedly invited her into the inner hall, and said with a smile: "Sir, tea is ready for you and your guest, the Immortal Master, and we will go to the room to talk about things. What do you think? "
Xiaoyu replied: "That's very good. Thank you for your help, sister."
"It's hard work or not, let's see what you say. Since sir, you want to rent my house, it's just a casual thing to serve you tea." Sister Zhang led the two of them through the front yard and through the corridor. Go to the back garden hall.
"Master Immortal, please!" Xiaoyu made a gesture of invitation.
Huang Daoling returned the greeting, "Please!"
Several people followed along.
Dear, this chapter is finished, I wish you a happy reading! ^0^
