The wife of the power minister's family

Chapter 32 Renting a House (Second Update)
Xu Jing wanted to move her residence to the county. The idea came to her on the day she came back from the Yamen.

Although Hutou Village is not far from the county seat, and most of the people in the village, except for the Peng family, are honest and kind-hearted, the village is outside the city and the security is not as good as in the county. Xu Jing always feels uneasy living there.

In fact, these nights, she hid the dagger under her pillow and could sleep with the dagger in one hand.

There is a curfew in the county, the city gates will be closed at night, and there will be patrols at fixed points. This safety factor is much higher than in the village.

Therefore, as early as the first day she came to the county to inspect the situation, she asked Sister-in-law Fang to introduce a trustworthy Yaman to them, and asked Yaman to help them find some safe and comfortable places to live.

In addition to inspecting medical clinics these days, they also went to look at houses, but they never found anything they were satisfied with.

Today, Yaren sent a message to them early in the morning, saying that a binary courtyard in Anping County was vacant. I don't dare to pick people in that area easily, because the security is compromised.

Xu Jing was very excited when she heard it. She was originally looking forward to seeing that house, but now she obviously doesn't have time.

Seeing Xu Jing just looking out the window and keeping silent for a long time, Cheng Xian, who had been ignored all this time, felt relieved. He quickly approached Xu Jing and said, "Mrs. Xu has to leave the city in a hurry, but there is still something unfinished in the county?"

Facing the big-faced plate that suddenly came towards her, Xu Jing calmly leaned back and said "hmm" in an extremely cold voice.

Cheng Xianbai saw that if he didn't do something to show off, he would really be ignored by this woman, so he quickly asked diligently: "Where does Madam Xu live now?"

Xu Jing didn't really want to answer. Chunxiang on the side didn't notice his wife's disdain and said carelessly: "We live in Hutou Village now. We took a donkey cart from a villager to the county. We have to leave now." .”

Sister-in-law Fang and the others can usually sell out the pies at this time, and sometimes they can sell them earlier if they sell well. They can't let people wait in the county for them to finish their work before leaving.

"Hutou Village," Cheng Xianbai's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "I have a brother who lives over there in Hutou Village. He works in the county and returns home every few days. He happened to be going back today. day.

Nowadays, in summer, it gets dark very late, and the city gate usually closes at Youshizheng (six o'clock), but now it's just Shenshizheng (four o'clock).

If you folks are in a hurry to leave, why not let them go first and I'll ask my brother to give you a ride. "

Xu Jing was stunned for a moment, and finally looked at Cheng Xianbai.

Cheng Xianbai was so excited that tears filled his eyes, and he couldn't help but said more attentively: "If Madam Xu is worried, I can escort Madam Xu back with my brother. It just so happens that the brother and I haven't gotten together for a long time, so we will go to his house tonight." Go have a good drink!"

Xu Jing was really moved. If possible, she would like to settle down in the county as soon as possible.

However, she looked at the man in front of her and suddenly narrowed her eyes and said, "Have you practiced your medical skills today? Are you still thinking about drinking?"

Cheng Xianbai: "..."

Weren't you just talking about sending her home?Why did you suddenly jump to his medical skills? !

"Although I cooperate with you, you can't rely on me to revitalize Xinglin Hall. Otherwise, just like Dr. Cheng before, once I am gone, Xinglin Hall will collapse."

Xu Jing said softly: "Besides, no matter how hard I stay, the number of patients I can see in a day is limited. If Xinglin Hall wants to become bigger and stronger, it needs more reliable doctors. You must hone your medical skills as soon as possible." On my own, I can teach and help you.

Otherwise, I am not doing good deeds. If you continue to fail to improve, I will withdraw at any time.

Moreover, are you willing to keep being [-]/[-] with me?I propose such a division because now I am the only one who can diagnose and treat diseases, but if your medical skills improve, we might not be able to discuss ways to cooperate. "

Cheng Xianbai: "!!!"

Damn it, you don’t use such coercion and inducement!
The last person who whipped him to hone his medical skills was his old man.

Cheng Qingqing on the side looked excited and nodded repeatedly: "Ms. Xu is right. The reason why Xinglin Hall has fallen to this point is also because we were too lax before. We always feel that Dad will always be here and will." I have been supporting Xinglintang, but I never thought that my father would suddenly be gone.

After my father passed away, we were anxious about the operating conditions of Xinglin Hall, but we neglected the most important thing - improving our medical skills.

Mrs. Xu revealed the truth about the man in her dream. I thought before that I had no talent in medical skills, so after studying with my father for so long, I still only learned a few superficial things. But hard work can make up for weakness. We haven’t worked hard, so how can we talk lightly? give up! "

With that said, she turned around and went into the inner room. When she came out again, she had a large stack of medical books in her arms. She stuffed them into Cheng Xianbai's hands without any reason, and said aggressively: "Brother, you can send Madam Xu home tonight. But you can’t just drink, you have to read all these medical books!
Don't be lazy, I will watch it tonight, and I will test you tomorrow. "Cheng Xianbai: "..."

In fact, he didn’t have to send him off on this trip...

However, Cheng Xianbai has never had much say in front of his sister, not to mention that her sister now has a powerful ally.

In the end, Cheng Xianbai carried a bag of medical books and went out with Xu Jing dejectedly.

Xu Jing sent Chunyang to explain the situation to Sister-in-law Fang and the others, and then came to the place agreed with Yaren in the morning.

The house they wanted to see was located in the east of the city. Yaren had been waiting there early. When he saw them, he immediately enthusiastically introduced the situation of the house to them. Finally, he rubbed his hands and said, "This house belongs to a wealthy businessman in Suizhou." He bought it for his mother. His mother's hometown is in Anping County. She always goes back to Anping County to live for a while every year. However, his mother passed away a few years ago and the house can no longer be used, so he thought of renting it out.

The wealthy businessman is not short of money either. He wants to find someone to rent a house. He mainly wants to find someone to help him take care of the house and make some income by the way. This way, he can come back to visit his mother when he misses her in the future, so the rental fee he offers is also It's not high, just one tael of silver a month.

There are not many houses with such low rental prices in this area. I saw that you were introduced by Lao Song, so I am the first to tell you that if Mrs. Xu is interested in renting it, she'd better make a decision quickly, otherwise this house will be rented. As soon as the incident was released, it would be rented out within a few days! "

Chunxiang's eyes suddenly widened.

This house actually costs one tael of silver a month!Mrs. Shen’s yard in Hutou Village only costs [-] yuan a month!
Although the size and location of this house are not comparable to Mrs. Shen's small yard, but... it's still too expensive!
They also have to pay the dentist half a month's rent as commission.

If this continues, their 20 taels of silver will be gone!
Xu Jing couldn't help but feel a little pain, but this house really met her requirements in every aspect. She finally gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, I'll rent it."

Money is not saved, but earned.

It’s also time to put some pressure on yourself.

What Yaren likes most is such cheerful customers. He quickly said "Oh" and nodded repeatedly: "Mrs. Xu really has a discerning eye. I will go back and talk to the steward sent by the wealthy businessman to sign the contract tomorrow." Mrs. Xu can then move in.

I also made an appointment with someone next to me to look at the house. I wonder if Madam Xu wants to leave now or look here again? "

Seeing that it was still early, Xu Jing thought that she would start moving in after signing the contract tomorrow. It would be better to familiarize herself with the environment in advance and think about what furniture she wanted to buy, so she said, "Let's take a look."

"Oh! Madam Xu, take your time and look at it. Just close the door for me when you leave. I'll show people around the house and then come back and lock it."

After speaking, he walked away with a smile.

Chunxiang saw that her wife had made up her mind to rent this house. Although her heart was bleeding, she was still very happy to live in such a big house. She immediately started to look around, thinking about how to decorate this new home.

Xu Jing walked around the house again. Seeing that Chunxiang was interested in it, she didn't call her. She walked slowly to the door and looked at the street scene outside.

It is indeed a wealthy area. The streets outside are spacious and clean, and it is also very quiet. No one has passed by for a long time.The surrounding houses have high walls and imposing doors.

Compared with the surrounding houses, this house is really inconspicuous.

Xu Jing was watching intently, and suddenly felt that someone not far away seemed to be looking at her.

She raised her eyebrows calmly, turned her head sharply, and immediately met a pair of dripping black eyes that were clearer and cleaner than the sea water.

The owner of those eyes seemed to be very panicked when he realized that he had been discovered. His eyes suddenly widened, and the whole person seemed to be a frightened rabbit. It suddenly shrank back into the alley, leaving only one rabbit hanging on the wall. little hands.

Xu Jing couldn't help but be stunned.

child?

Could it be that the child is from which family here?
