Even though Zheng Ruqian was used to doing business, he thought he had seen big winds and waves, so he was a little confused when he was pushed down.
Feng Jing is an outstanding person in the land, and he is at the foot of the emperor, but everyone also has two arms, two legs, two eyes and one mouth, so why should he bully others like this.
If fire were real, Zheng Ruqian would surely burn from head to toe.
But the ones who were angrier than him were his younger brother and sister behind him.
"Why are you pushing people away!" Jiang Sheng was so angry that he wanted to rush up and bite him, "What's wrong with it being expensive? If you dare to ask for a price, we have the right to think it's expensive!"
Wen Zhiyun clutched the bottles in his sleeves, feeling a little scared, but quickly determined to protect his second brother.
Chang Yan narrowed his eyes to hide the sarcasm in his pupils. These natives of Fengjing had as strong a sense of superiority as ever.
Only Xu Mo remained calm. He hugged Jiang Sheng, who was flexing his teeth and claws, with one hand, and stopped his two brothers who were about to move with the other hand. Then he gave Zheng Ruqian an encouraging look, "Second brother, get up!"
Although they have no father or mother, no towering background, no outstanding financial resources, and no extraordinary means, they have experienced too many hardships and seen too many storms from scratch.
There is nothing to fear from the proud Fengjing people.
Infected by Xu Mo, Zheng Ruqian gradually calmed down. He stood up from the ground vigorously, clapped his hands, and laughed, "I'm just a toothy guy, but I'm so arrogant. I can rent an apartment for a hundred taels of silver, but you can spend a hundred taels of silver to rent an apartment. Can you make a hundred taels of silver?"
The Yaren who hadn't gone far yet stopped in his tracks.
"It's not that I can't afford to rent a house worth a hundred taels of silver, I just won't rent your house." Zheng Ruqian sneered, "Do you really think you are the only one in Fengjing?"
After saying that, he took a younger brother with one hand and left first.
Xu Mo held Jiang Sheng's hand and followed closely behind.
No matter how much the Ya people angrily taunted them, or how many roundabout ways they called them foreigners and country bumpkins, they never looked back.
Fengjing was the capital of the Dayu Dynasty and the core of the entire country. Students from all over came during the exams, and countless people from far away came to work.
They are diligent and diligent. They are not indigenous people, but they occupy half of Fengjing and gradually compress the rights of the indigenous people.
The more the Fengjing natives hate outsiders, the more outsiders there are in Fengjing.
Only outsiders will not discriminate against outsiders.
After Zheng Ruqian's analysis and several shameless inquiries, he finally found a new dental shop.
It is said that the owner of this dental shop is not only a foreigner, but also a fellow from the Central Plains area.
Zheng Ruqian deliberately spoke in Anshui dialect and stepped forward to ask, "Is there a small courtyard with a second entrance near the Imperial College?"
Ya Ren raised his head, a little surprised, but without any disdain, "How many taels can the young master accept at most? Are there any age requirements for the house? Arrangement requirements?"
"As long as you can live in it." Zheng Ruqian thought for a while, "It can't be higher than a hundred taels."
Yaren flipped through the house records on hand and found three that met the criteria, "I'll take the young master to have a look."
The Imperial College has a good location and is close to the most prosperous area of Fengjing. The price of the same house must remain high.
On the other hand, the cheaper ones are definitely farther away.
The first of the three apartments given by Ya Ren is extremely remote. The house is overall very good, and the price of sixty taels is not expensive. However, it takes an hour to drive a carriage from the door to the Imperial Academy, which is worth ten miles. The distance from the town to Xieyang County is over.
The second house is much closer, and it only takes half a cup of tea to catch the car. However, the house is smaller, with only two rooms, which is not enough for the brothers to live in. It also costs a hundred taels of silver.
The third set was a coincidence. It turned out to be the one that Zheng Ruqian had chosen before. The second set entered the small courtyard.
While browsing the yard pretending to be curious, he asked tentatively, "Whose yard does this belong to? Is it only for you to rent out?"
The dentist shook his head, "Of course it's impossible to leave it to just one dental shop. The owner of the courtyard is kept secret, but any dental shop in Fengjing can rent this courtyard. It depends on who can close the deal first."
Zheng Ruqian nodded, already making a decision in his heart.
At this moment, Yaren came over again and whispered, "But I can tell you something. This yard is the property of the Jiang family. I am not afraid that you will go directly to the owner of the house without me. The existence of the Jiang family can be It’s not something you and I can touch.”
After saying that, he looked eastward in awe.
In the Dayu Dynasty, the east was the most respected and the west was the second.
For example, in Anshui County, wealthy families usually live in the east of the city, while ordinary people live in the west.
The fact that the Jiang family can live in the east of Fengjing is enough to prove the family's strength and status.
Zheng Ruqian nodded slightly and finally asked the key question, "How much does this yard cost?"
Yaren did not hesitate, "Eighty-two years."
! ! !
Zheng Ruqian was shocked. The Yaman before was not only arrogant, but also deliberately raised the price. It was simply disgusting.
He almost signed the painting and pledged the money.
Later, I thought about it, not negotiating the price was really against Master Zheng's nature, so he used his invincible eloquence and his tongue to sharpen the price from eighty taels to seventy taels.
The tooth man was helpless, "Brother, you are more suitable to be a tooth man than me. Just with your mouth, you can rent out a lot of yards."
Zheng Ruqian chuckled, signed and pledged, and at the same time handed over seventy taels of silver and a ten-tael deposit.
Although they only rented it for a short year, it was still the brothers and sisters' home and their final destination in Fengjing.
This is how people are, once they have a place to live, their hearts will settle down.
Bidding farewell to Yaren, they officially entered this second-entry courtyard.
Zheng Ruqian has a good taste.
Although this small courtyard only has two entrances, it has a reasonable layout. There are two wing rooms at the gate, which should be for the servants. There are two main rooms at the first entrance. After passing the arch, there is the second entrance, which also has two main rooms. .
Jiang Sheng has happily started to divide the rooms, "Jiang San and Jiang Si will live in the wing room, the eldest brother and the second brother will live in the first hall, the fourth brother and the fifth brother will live in the second hall with me and my aunt Xiaozhu. When the third brother comes back, we will live with the second brother. Brother, stay here.”
Jiang San and Jiang Si were originally going to protect the girl and the young master, but Zheng Ruqian wanted to bring more sausages, so he asked them to delay for two days and bring a cart full of sausages, bacon, and fish.
Jiang Sheng felt that his division of land was very good, great and reasonable.
Unexpectedly, the brothers said in unison, they all objected, "No."
Jiang Sheng's eyes widened.
Chang Yan cleared his throat, his expression a little unnatural, "We are old and can't live too close to you."
Wen Zhiyun's expression was tangled. He knew in his heart that his brother was right, but he wanted to do what his sister said.
"As soon as we get there, I'll let my aunt and Jiang Sheng take Xiaozhu to live there." Xu Mo said, "I will share one of the two main rooms with the second one, and the fourth one will share with the fifth one."
Jiang Sheng's face was full of grievance, "Where will the third brother live when he comes back?"
Zheng Ruqian pointed to the somewhat dilapidated doghouse in the yard, "I think that's pretty good."
Fang Heng, who was far away in northern Xinjiang, sneezed again and felt like someone was scolding him.
