Chapter 17
"Good, good, good."

The middle-aged man grinned from ear to ear, and led the two of them to the living room to immediately write down the contract. After both parties signed and signed, he handed over the keys to Shu Jinxuan.

Hua Rujin saw that he acted so resolutely, although she was a little worried, but considering the status of the Shu family in Jiangling City, this person would not dare to play tricks.

Unless, he doesn't want to hang around in Jiangling City.

After finishing all handovers, the three of them went out together in a pleasant manner.

But as soon as he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, he saw an old man dressed in rags and unkempt, blocking the way.

In front of Hua Rujin and Shu Jinxuan, the old man gave the middle-aged man a bad face: "Boss Du, do you want to earn money against your conscience?"

The tone of voice is yin and yang.

Hua Rujin's heart trembled when she heard it: Could it be that my judgment was wrong?
The middle-aged man suddenly became anxious: "It's you again, old man, I have no grievances with you, why do you keep spoiling my good things?"

Seeing Shu Jinxuan and Hua Rujin's faces gradually darken, he explained in a panic, "You two young masters and misses, I did tell the truth before, and there was no deceit."

Seeing that the two were still silent, he gritted his teeth and said truthfully: "This old man has been telling stories in front of my door, insisting that my house is not clean, but there is really nothing dirty in my house. So I specially invited Taoist priests from Huaqing Temple to exorcise evil spirits, and a group of Taoist priests from Huaqing Temple stayed in the house for several days and did not notice any abnormalities."

When the words fell, he quickly ran to the side: "You two wait a moment, I will invite the neighbors and villagers to testify here."

Look at that Boss Du started knocking on the door from door to door, he looked very straightforward and honest.

Hua Rujin immediately realized that it was the old man in front of him who was deliberately embarrassing others.

Looking at his attire, he looks like a beggar in tattered clothes.

Most likely it was because Boss Du didn't give him money, and this man deliberately wanted revenge.

This kind of thing is not surprising.

Thinking of this, she coldly rolled her eyes at the old man.

"Why, is Miss looking down on me?"

The old man arrogantly looked at Hua Rujin who was looking at him face to face.

"Ah."

Hua Rujin nodded slightly.

"Don't look at the old man dressed like a beggar, the old man has never been given food, but he told the truth and didn't want the two of you to be deceived."

As soon as the old man finished speaking, Shu Jinxuan took out a tael of silver from his pocket and threw it in front of him.

The old man picked up the silver on the ground and ran quickly, shouting as he ran, "Thank you, sir, thank you, sir."

There was no one in the blink of an eye.

"This"

Hua Rujin sighed angrily:
Talk about good morals.

It's really deep like the sea once you join the Beggars' Clan, and you've been a passerby since then.

Shu Jinxuan had already seen the old man's thoughts, shook his head and said with a sneer: "When opening a shop and doing business, it is the first priority not to offend officials, and then not to offend beggars and rascals."

Hua Rujin nodded and said: "It makes sense."

Waiting for Boss Du to call some neighbors and folks to come over, where could he see the figure of the old beggar, Boss Du looked bitter.

Someone recognized Shu Jinxuan, and hurriedly came over to explain: "It's Mr. Shu, this house indeed belongs to Brother Du, we can all testify, but the old beggar just now is really a pest, I don't know how Brother Du offended him, In the past few years, he has been pestering Brother Du all the time, not to spread rumors that the house is haunted, which frightened the tenants so that none of them dared to rent, Brother Du was in a hurry to return to the old house to serve his wife, he really had no choice but to rent at a reduced price."

"I see."

Hua Rujin glanced at Boss Du meaningfully. Although what he said just now was not entirely true, it was understandable.

Shu Jinxuan had no intention of disturbing the neighbors around, and it was only a matter of 20 taels of silver. This boss Du's honesty and honesty made him feel a little bit sorry, so he hurriedly handed over his hands and apologized: "I have offended you so much just now, please don't worry, since I rented this Dong Zhaizi won't go back on his word, you can go back and take care of your wife at ease."

"Thank you sir."

Boss Du thanked the neighbors and villagers with tears of gratitude, and after the crowd dispersed, he bid farewell to the two of them and left in a hurry to the east of the city.

When the front of the door was cleared, Shu Jinxuan led Hua Rujin back to the courtyard, pointed to the two utility rooms at the corner of the courtyard and said: "I will sort out those two rooms to store medicinal materials in the future."

Then he turned to the main courtyard behind him, holding his cheeks and pretending to be distressed: "It's just that there is no one to take care of me, why don't my cousin go back and beg for me, and let my little uncle and aunt come to the city to help, and there are still some leftovers?" With so many rooms, there are still empty ones, and it is convenient to take You En and Mu Yang into the city together to take care of them."

Glancing at the two small handy rooms in the corner, Hua Rujin couldn't laugh or cry.

He is not looking for a warehouse to store medicinal materials, he is clearly looking for a place for Liufang.

"Okay."

Hua Rujin said with a slight smile, "But I will pay the money, and the two warehouses will be used as gifts for my cousin, and they will be counted as interest."

Shu Jin's eyes darkened, then she nodded and said, "It's all up to you."

Then handed the key and the contract to her hand, and signaled: "You put these away, it's getting late, let's go to Ningyuan Bookstore earlier after the lock is locked."

"Ah."

Hua Rujin responded softly, took the key and went out to lock the door, but heard a familiar voice from behind: "I said why is it so lively here, it turns out that it is the second son of Shu and the young lady of the Dou family."

Hua Rujin turned around, and saw Liu Cheng, the former magistrate of the county, and Dou Yiheng, the head of the county government, came over with two guards.

Seeing Liu Cheng's enthusiastic smile, she returned a warm smile and deliberately reminded: "The daughter of the people is no longer Mrs. Dou's young lady."

Although I hate this person deeply, it is disgusting that an adult must learn to smile at an annoying person.

"Yes, yes, this officer is here for this."

Liu Cheng leisurely stroked the goatee's beard and secretly turned to glance at the master book.

Dou Yiheng hurriedly handed over the official document rolled up in his hand: "This is the remarriage license from Yezhi County, please take it away, Miss Hua."

"Remarriage license?"

Hua Rujin was overjoyed to hear that, but it was really hard to accept the strange name.

Open it and take a closer look, it is indeed the official approval document that Ye Chengwei used the seal to allow remarriage.

She narrowed her phoenix eyes slightly, raised her head and smiled slightly: "I didn't expect it to be so fast, the county magistrate is really resolute."

"The county magistrate has specifically instructed you, and I dare not neglect you."

Dou Yiheng also smiled and bowed to her: "I am here to congratulate Miss Hua for getting what she wanted."

"Thank you."

As soon as Hua Rujin finished speaking, Liu Cheng moved closer to her, looked at Shu Jinxuan while lowering her voice: "Miss Hua, can I take a step to speak?"

Seeing his mysterious face, Hua Rujin frowned.

The new county magistrate has already taken up his post. It stands to reason that he should rush to Beijing immediately. Why does he keep circling here?
After thinking about it, I'm afraid it's because of the Dou family's affairs.

She would like to see what other tricks this person can play.

"Cousin wait here."

Hua Rujin whispered to Shu Jinxuan, made a gesture of invitation and led Liu Cheng to re-enter the courtyard, and sat down at the stone table in the center of the courtyard.
