Chapter 16 Determination of Residence
"There is an old saying, 'There are three thousand and six famous hutongs in Beiping, and the unnamed hutongs are more powerful'. Sir, you have found the right person today. I may not be able to do anything else, but when it comes to buying a house, renting a house and looking at the house , Hey, my old Wu is silent, and the nearby La Fangxian dare not speak."

Along the way, Wu Youde was bragging in all kinds of ways. Yesterday he bought a palace, and tomorrow he was going to see an apartment. Anyway, there was only one central idea, which was that meeting him today was considered lucky.

But this is quite interesting. It can be regarded as a free tour guide, which gave him a lot of knowledge about hutongs.

"The hutongs in our old Beiping city are good. You don't need to go in and read the names, you will know what it is like."

Even if there are dirt roads under your feet, you can't stop Wu Youde's mouth: "What kind of Tu'er Hutong, Shazikou, Brick Factory Hutong and so on are full of workers, as for the big and small Fangjia Hutong and Yaojiajing Hutong, the surname must be Fang Yao has a lot."

After jumping over a puddle, Wu Youde turned around and asked, "By the way, sir, what kind of house do you want to rent?"

"Rent a courtyard house, near Peking University, the kind that you can live in immediately after signing the contract." Cheng Nuo thought for a moment, and then expressed his request.

He also did research before coming here, and he knew that there are small, medium and large courtyards.

Small courtyards generally only have three rooms in the north, two or three rooms in the east and west wing rooms, and two or three rooms in the south room. Entering the door is the main courtyard.

On the basis of the small courtyard, the middle courtyard has one or two more courtyards, and some basic decorative buildings such as moon gates, Taihu stones, and fish tanks have been added at the same time. the height of.

Cheng Nuo is not a person who likes to move. He chose the courtyard directly because he wanted to do it in one go, so as to avoid troubles when there were too many students in the back.

As for the large courtyard houses, most of them are palaces of princes or private residences of wealthy merchants. There are often high-end garden decorations such as gardens, ponds, and rockeries inside. Cheng Nuo skipped them without even thinking about them.

It is difficult to achieve great things if you degenerate and enjoy before you have struggled.

When Wu Youde heard this, he was secretly happy. This is a big customer. According to the industry regulations, he probably got a lot of money. In addition to paying back the tea money, he can also go to Baishun Hutong for a few days.

So he became more enthusiastic, and led the way in front: "Master, look at it, I will definitely find you a beautiful house."

As the original words said, he led Cheng Nuo to find several good-looking houses, which made him suffer from difficulty in choosing again.

Until finally, Wu Youde found a family in Silk Alley, Cheng Nuo's eyes lit up as soon as he opened the door.

Entering the door is a beautiful screen wall. The moon gate on the left is neatly decorated. After passing through, there is the front yard. There are five rooms in the south and three rooms in the east. There are cover rooms and east and west wing rooms, and there is actually an old ginkgo tree echoing each other.

Ten years of trees, a hundred years of trees.

For nothing but two old ginkgo trees, Cheng Nuo's heart was moved.

Originally, I wanted to pay as much as I wanted according to the market price, but after seeing that the owner of the house was a foreign missionary, I changed my mind.

Quietly pulling Wu You aside, Cheng Nuo said in a low voice: "Brother Wu, I have fallen in love with this house. If you help me get it in a while, I will pay you a tip in addition to the commission you should have. You see Will it work?"

Wu Youde's eyes lit up, and he said that the money he took for nothing would be given away, and he patted his chest and promised repeatedly: "Look at it, sir, wrap it on me."

Wiping his face, Wu Laosan straightly tilted his neck, shook his head, curled his mouth, and walked up to the landlord: "How much is the rent for this house?"

The homeowner was a little frightened. As soon as he stretched out his finger, he immediately changed the three to two, and stuttered in Mandarin, which he was not proficient in: "Two is 20 yuan for a month."

"20 yuan ocean, why don't you go grab it?" Wu Youde's expression changed immediately, his eyes were like copper bells: "Look at your house, the whole house is just one knife, three rooms in the west wing, and three rooms in the east wing , don’t you old people in Peking not know ‘door to door, maddened’? What’s the matter, let me be right, did you die yesterday?”

Although the house is weak, it is still a bit tough when it comes to ghost houses: "There is no dead person, only a sparrow died."

"What, a sparrow died?" Wu Youde refused to let go, pointed at the sky and stomped his feet: "That counts, don't you foreigners talk about equality before God, a sparrow is also a life, so just die It’s personal, anyway, your house is not very good, have you found several tenants, hasn’t it been rented out yet?”

After all, Wu Youde retreated and pretended to be pulling Cheng Nuo to leave.

"If it's cheaper, if it doesn't work, I'll take the customers away. After passing this village, there will be no such shop."

Forced into desperation, the foreign missionary agreed to rent it to Cheng Nuo at a price of 15 yuan a month.

After signing the contract, the foreign missionary gritted his teeth and looked at Wu Youde: "You are so hateful, God will send you to hell."

Wu Youde, who got the commission and tips, was just happy. He didn't care about it. He blew the ocean to his ear, and said nonsense: "Well, wake up the big nose, we are covered by God, Your god can't control that."

Leaving the two of them at the door to continue arguing, Cheng Nuo locked the door and walked away.

There is still a sick person at home, so I don't have time to watch these two critters quarrel.

On the way back, Cheng Nuo happened to see a bookstall selling magazines, and he yelled, "Come and buy it, "New Youth" Mr. Hu Shizhi's "Literary Improvement Humble Opinion", old traditional and innovative literature, come and see it quickly Come buy it."

Although Cheng Nuo didn't like this well-known originator, there were still some merits in this article. He immediately squeezed into the crowd, bought a copy, and went to the side to read it carefully.

But looking at it, Cheng Nuo suddenly thought that if they started liberal arts, science and engineering should also take action.

"Since they run a magazine, I should also run an academic journal."

At this time, there were no decent mathematics journals in China, or because of the blank field, it was not that no one thought of running mathematics journals in the past, but it was a pity that they stopped running after only a few issues.

Cheng Nuo could take the opportunity to write a big book and write his own thick strokes.

A single tree cannot make a forest.

The magazine can directly disseminate and exchange academic ideas of mathematical sciences to major universities across the country, publicize the latest international mathematical achievements,
After all, as a future scholar, without a publication under his control, it would be equivalent to losing a lot of speaking power for nothing, and it would be easy to get stuck.

Calculating the time, tomorrow is Mr. Cai Yuanpei's inauguration ceremony, and we can have a good communication with him in the afternoon.
