Wearing the cannon fodder little koi in the imperial examination essay

Chapter 188
After listening to Aunt Zhao's warm introduction, Yu Su and Song Xinglin had a rough understanding of each other.

Although this is not quite the same as the single-family single-family requirements they discussed on the way, but if the conditions of the house are not bad, and the owner of the house is not bad, even if it is highly recommended by Zhao Butou and his wife, it is not far from the school hall. It's not that they can't take a look at it if it's convenient.

Song Xinglin hurriedly bowed his hands to Aunt Zhao politely, "Then Auntie Lao, let's have a look first."

"Okay, okay, let's take a look first, take a look..." Aunt Zhao responded with a smile, turned around, and slapped the black lacquered door with her fat white hand.

Bang Bang Bang, Bang Bang Bang...

"Aunt Feng, Aunt Feng? Aunt Feng, are you at home, Aunt Feng?"

Aunt Zhao yelled several times in succession, and a hoarse female voice finally rang out as green jujube branches fell to the yard outside the yard.

The voice sounded old and majestic, "Ahem, who is it?"

Aunt Zhao outside the door heard the words, and hurriedly yelled towards the door to respond with a smile, "It's me, Aunt Feng, from everyone next door Zhao, Aunt Feng, you and I have always brought tenants here, your house is rented out in the east Is it gone?"

Hearing that someone was showing the house, Yu Su and Song Xinglin heard the sound of hurried footsteps coming from far to near in the yard. After a while, the black painted door creaked and was pulled open from the inside. Come.

As soon as the door opened, the first thing that came into view was a docile old lady with her hair combed in silver and her clothes neat and tidy. She looked about fifty years old, her face was serious and sad.

Seeing Aunt Zhao, the other party tried his best to put on a smile and said politely: "It belongs to everyone Zhao, what is this?"

The old lady's eyes fell on Yu Su and Song Xinglin, and Aunt Zhao clapped her hands with a busy smile, and introduced them to the old lady.

"Oh, look at me, Aunt Feng, these two kids are the ones who want to rent a house. Look at this kid, do you look familiar? Let me tell you, this is the little tiger-fighting hero! This is not the child's house. It's all right, so I brought my little guest into the city to study in Xunxue Hall, I thought that your family happened to have a house, and my family treated this baby as a nephew, isn't that..."

Yu Su and Song Xinglin listened to Aunt Zhao's Balaba, and Balabba's, explained the matter clearly in twos and twos, but they didn't want them to worry about it, but interrupted.

Then the young couple found that the serious old lady looked at them suspiciously at first, but after hearing Aunt Zhao's speech, her attitude softened, and she followed suit when she looked at Song Xinglin and Yu Su. Soft down.

"Cough, cough, that belongs to Mr. Zhao. If you think about it, you know that we, orphans and widows, rent a house for fear of encountering strong and bad people. We don't rent it to men, but we have been old neighbors for many years. , I know the character of you and Boy Zhao, and I know that you will not harm me, a bad old woman. Since it is the person you introduced, the person here is still a little tiger-fighting hero praised by the county magistrate, and he is not very old. , I won’t say much about the other old students, this old student can make an exception and rent it to these two kids.”

In fact, giving face to the Zhao family is only one of them. The most important issue is that she is picky about the tenants, and she asked for a rent that is much higher than that in the north and south of the city, but she persuaded many tenants to leave.

The two of them need to eat and drink, and I want to save more dowry for my granddaughter. Of course, the sooner the house is rented out, the better. After more than a month, the east wing is full of people, and finally a tenant came. , there is still someone to guarantee, and she looks like a very suitable tenant, she doesn't want to miss it.

I don't know the wit in the old lady's heart, but the two children suddenly fell silent when faced with the old lady's unwavering promise of renting out.

Speaking of this house, they haven't seen it yet, so why did they decide to rent it?

It was Song Xinglin who couldn't bear to be wronged by the guest, so he bit the bullet and interrupted: "This grandma of the Feng family, we are newcomers and have no experience in renting a house for the first time. Why don't we take a look at the house first?"

Aunt Zhao also realized now that she was too hasty, she thinks the next door is good, but the two younger ones don't necessarily think so, so we have to see it first, and we can't do bad things with good intentions.

So Aunt Zhao nodded again and again, and looked at Old Madam Feng with a smile on her face, "Aunt Feng, why don't we take a look?"

Just take a look, Mrs. Feng is still very satisfied with her yard and house, and she is not afraid of being picked on by others. She nodded, gave up the position of the gate, and gestured to the visitor, "Yes, you come in Come on, whatever you want."

As he said that, the man turned around and walked ahead, introducing as he walked.

"My courtyard is very spacious, and there is still a third of the land in the backyard to grow vegetables. The well is in the front yard, which is a sweet water well. The house is easy to drink water, and the house is newly built...Here, the two rooms with open doors on the east side are The house to be rented out is about ten feet five, and the furniture in the house is also free for you to use. I charge a rent of six hundred dollars a month..."

Yu Su and Song Xinglin, who were following behind, listened carefully to the old lady's introduction, and looked around while walking into the yard.

After entering, I found that the layout, decoration and sanitation of the yard are very good.

The yard faces south, and the gate of the yard opens to the south. In the yard, several trees are planted on the wall next to the gate. In addition to the jujube tree I saw just now, there are two persimmon trees. In the middle of the brake, two pomegranate trees were planted, one on the left and one on the right.

In addition, in the place where the main house is connected to the side brake, which looks like a kitchen, a walk of vines was planted, and a shelf was set up. The vines were lush and lush, just covering the well, and planted on the edge of the lower well. Water laundry is not exposed to the sun, beautiful and practical.

As for the open east side temple, the young couple also went in to have a look. They entered through the door close to the south courtyard wall. The outside room was the living room with a low square table and four bamboo chairs with backrests. The inside room was a room. There was a palm-framed bed about [-] meters high, and an old red-lacquered cabinet with double sliding doors.

The room is quite spacious, and the space is also large. Even if there is a little less furniture, they are not afraid. At worst, they buy some by themselves. The most important thing is that the price and the environment are suitable. Song Xinglin, who lives in a bad place, is moved.

Not for anything else, just to say that the owner of the house looks good, the price of the house is not expensive, the drinking water is convenient and there is no need to go to the public well outside, and the whole yard is full of old and weak women and children. The most important thing is...

Song Xinglin couldn't help but quietly pulled Yu Su who was still looking at him, and leaned his head to Yu Su's ear and whispered.

"Yuyu, I think this place is pretty good, and the house is brand new. Otherwise, we would just rent this place? We had a good plan when we came here, but when I think about it later, I think Aunt Zhao is right. Yuyu is a single family. It's convenient and unobtrusive, but if I go out to study, I can't feel at ease when you are alone at home. If I live here, I go to the school on weekdays. There are no men in this yard, and there is Zhao Shuzhao next door My aunt can say hello at all times, so I can feel at ease when I go out."

He even thought, if he could, he would spend some money to find a partner in the future, so as to save his guests from suffering from smoke and fire every day.

Seeing the little prince looking at him brightly, Yu Su thought for a while, then stretched out his hand and led Song Xinglin to the outside of the house, pointing to the two rooms on the east side.

"Little brother, what you said is good, but you look at the house. This is a side temple on the east side. It's okay in winter. If it's hot in summer, this house will be exposed to the sun. I'm afraid it will be hot to death."

Hearing what Yu Su said, Song Xinglin thought so too.

He is not afraid of being hot, but he is afraid of the hardships of his guests. The satisfaction in his heart just now turned into hesitation in an instant.

Aunt Zhao, who wanted to help left and right, hurriedly patted her thigh and said.

"This matter is easy to handle! Although it is a bit harsh to live in the east wing every day, the Feng family's house is good. It has only been renovated for a long time. It is not afraid of wind and rain, and the house is still brand new. Spacious, safe and comfortable to live in! As for this Xisun? Don’t be afraid, everyone is a neighbor, and the two of you are still your own family. I will ask you Uncle Zhao to go to the countryside to get some straw and come back. You tie up straw curtains and put them under the eaves, and put them down to keep them shaded when they are exposed to the sun."

Having said that, Mrs. Feng also nodded in agreement. There is land in my hometown, and the autumn harvest is just over, and the straw is ready-made.

Yu Su also saw that Aunt Zhao was active, and apart from this problem, she had nothing else to dissatisfy. They both looked young when they came out to hang out, so it was necessary to settle in a safer place.

Besides, they still owe Uncle Zhao a favor, so it's not good to refuse straight away, and the house is not too expensive, why don't you try living here first?
Ever since, Yu Su didn't show any pretense, and nodded towards Song Xinglin, as he agreed to rent a house.

Because of Aunt Zhao's presence, Mrs. Feng didn't even confiscate the deed and the deposit for the house, and even changed the rent that was originally charged every March to once a month, which was very embarrassing for Aunt Zhao.

So what else is there to say, Song Xinglin paid [-] yuan directly to settle the house, and Mrs. Feng gave them a three-day grace period to move them, which is not counted as rent, and it can be regarded as drawing in the relationship between the landlord and them, and the matter was settled satisfactorily. .
