I rewrote family history

Chapter 43 Rental Housing
"Uncle said this morning, please let me help you find a place to live in the county."

A flash of astonishment flashed across Xu Shuwen's face, he coughed lightly, and ignored the matter.Turning to talking about Xu Er's stupid renting a house, "It's still early before lunch time. I'll take you to see the house. If it's suitable, you can live in it today, and you don't have to go home."

Rent?

Xu Er is confused, did dad say this to the young master this morning?He doesn't remember very well.When I got up early, the remaining symptoms of heat stroke were still there, my brain was muddy, and my heart was abnormally irritable, and I was complaining about why the young master didn't get up earlier.Maybe that's when he missed something.

"I didn't bring enough money, I left it at home."

He subconsciously refused.

He didn't lie.He secretly put all the money he got from copying books into a small clay vase under the stove.How can money be carried with you, what should you do if you lose it?

In addition, he does not like to accept people's kindness.

After eating a mint candy from the young master, I didn't want to break up with the young master completely.Secondly, he was promoted to high school, and felt that the current self could tolerate a mint from the young master.

No more..., no.

"I still have some money left."

Xu Shuwen said.

After saying the words, he suddenly felt a little regretful.He probably had a good grasp of Xu Er's "hysteria".He raised his eyebrows and smiled, "There is no rush to spend money on renting a house. You choose the place first, and then pay the owner some time later. Lease is not a temporary business, and the owner will not mind."

Speaking of which.

Xu Er felt that it was feasible, so he obediently agreed.

The two left the lecture hall together, and met some old friends of Xu Shuwen on the way. After Xu Shuwen said hello a few times, he left Hongwen Hall.

Walking on the road, Xu Shuwen analyzed: "You are copying books in the county government office, and you have to go to school to attend classes, so the rental house you choose should be as close as possible to these two places."

As he spoke, he took Xu Erlian to Hemiao Street.

Hemiao Street is named after the canal near the county seat, and there is a Town God's Temple at the end of the street.This place is probably located in the center of the county seat, and many businesses have settled down and opened shops here.

The county government is located on the south gate side of the county seat, and the school is on Confucian Temple Street near the west gate.

Accordingly, choose to rent a house, unavoidable choose here.

"I have a classmate whose surname is Liu Mingdan and the character is Yuanchu. His family is in the grain business. Xuansheng Rice Shop is his family. There should be a lot of vacant rooms in the courtyard. Let me ask. If there are none, you can also take the opportunity. Inquire about others..."

The two stopped, looked up and saw a plaque erected, which read "Xuansheng Rice Shop".The rice shop has three doors open, people come and go, and the business is good.

Xu Shuwen walked into the rice shop with Xu Erlian.The rice shop is the backyard of the front shop.Xu Shuwen and Liu Dan are familiar classmates, and the staff did not stop them.So through the partition door, the two came to the courtyard behind.

"It's Shuwen, your elder...a fellow villager."

Shopkeeper Liu of Mipu looked at the two of them, and when he realized what he was coming for, he murmured, "If you come to live in Shuwen, uncle won't ask for a price, so you can just come and live. But he and Dan'er are not old friends, so we should talk about business rules. But for Shuwen's sake, I won't ask for a high price, renting a house for one payment and three silver dollars a month and a half, the total is one five dollars."

"There are a lot of people in my yard. If you want to take care of your board and lodging, you can pay an extra three cents a month. There is no extra charge for a meat meal every five days."

After the words fell, Xu Er was thinking in his heart.

He had to copy books, and he earned about ten coppers a day.Calculated on average, it is roughly not bad to earn fifty cents a month.If you work harder and do more work, you can earn seven cents.

The money I earn barely covers the rent...

Xu Er was on the left back of Xu Shuwen, and he tugged on the young master's sleeve.The meaning is obvious, and he does not agree with this transaction.

He would rather run a few more steps every day than spend money on wrong things.

Poor man's time is worthless.

"Thank you uncle."

Mr. Xu Shuwen thanked, and then said: "My nephew understands what my uncle said. It is a suitable price. But the rental fee... Well, there are suitable recommendations for renting a house."

He didn't understand.No need to explain.Shopkeeper Liu is a shrewd businessman, he will understand what he said between the lines.

"In other places, they are not as rich as me." Shopkeeper Liu smiled meekly, without being annoyed, "The shopkeeper Qian of the Huayi shop quit the accountant a few days ago. I understand, it is barely suitable to be an accountant, I went to that place, and discussed it, maybe I can be exempted from board and lodging, and I can get some wages."

Pied clothes shop sells cotton yarn, cloth, black crepe and other cloth, also in Hemiao Street.

After bidding farewell to shopkeeper Liu, the two of them came here together.

The conversation went very well, and shopkeeper Qian was willing to spare Xu Er's lodging.It's just that in addition to settling accounts, I have to deliver goods for him in my spare time.But not in vain, just pay Triangle’s wages in January.

Not only does it cost nothing, but it also makes money.

Xu Er stunned gritted his teeth, and agreed without heeding Xu Shuwen's prompt.

He knew that there should be some traps in the conditions negotiated with shopkeeper Qian.But peasants are the least afraid of suffering, it is hard to endure, and it will be fine for a while.

At worst, after some time, I will find another room to rent.

On the contrary, it was the young master's help that caused him to be tortured during this journey of renting the house.

He wanted to end it sooner.

Returning to Hongwen Class, the two classes in the afternoon also passed by in a hurry.

"I'm going home today. You can go to sleep at the floral dress shop. I'll tell your father about the rented house. Go back early and rest, don't get tired."

The young master left a few words, took off the reins on the horse post, led the bay red horse, left the school without looking back, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Late autumn is coming, and the nights are getting dark fast.

The Huayi shop arranged for Xu Er Lengzi to stay in a small room next to the sedan chair hall.The sedan chair hall is a special place for soft sedan chairs in ancient houses.The flower clothes shop also has a sedan chair hall.

There are beddings in the sedan chair cabin, which are old and have a musty smell.

As soon as Xu Er stunned entered the house and lit the oil lamp, he heard the wife in the back house coughing violently, "Things that don't care, oil is so expensive now, you turn off the light for me, go to bed, and look at something blind."

The lights in the back house went out.

His lights went out too.

After staying in the stable for a long time, he knew his wife's skills in criticizing Sang Huai.If you pretend to not understand, you will have more to worry about in the future.There is no need to bother with this matter.

"What will Dad do here?"

On the first day away from home, Xu Er couldn't sleep because he thought of Xu San'er.

My father's snoring sound disappeared for a while, and I'm not used to it.

　Today I feel unwell. I wrote that Xu Er's stunned person had a heat stroke. I didn't expect that I also accidentally got a little heat stroke. I had a nosebleed and felt uncomfortable.Let's do the third watch tomorrow, and make up for the owed watch.

　　Please recommend tickets, monthly tickets.

　　I always feel that there are a lot less people to see....Don't keep books.
