After wearing the book, I became the mother of three villains

Chapter 99 Where can I find you?
The small courtyard is not very big, at the end of a rather quiet alley, there are a few tall willow trees planted outside the courtyard.

When the breeze blows, the sprouting willow branches sway from side to side. Looking at this tree and house from a distance, it is really beautiful.

Before Yao Shu went in, he looked at the scenery in front of him and fell in love with it immediately.

Surprised in her eyes, she turned to look at Lin Roe and asked, "How did you find such a place?"

Hearing her brisk tone, Lin Zhi knew that she liked it, and said in a deep voice, "Second brother asked me to find several places, but this place is quieter. If you like it, let's go in and have a look."

Yao Shu smiled and nodded: "The small hermit hides in the wild, the big hermit hides in the city... there is such a secluded place in the busy city, hurry up, let's go in and have a look."

After the two finished speaking, they lifted their feet and went to the small courtyard.

The courtyard gate was made of pitch-black pear blossom wood, and it was not locked.

The yard doesn’t look that big from the outside, but inside it’s full of caves——

Wells, stables, vegetable gardens are all available, and even fences are installed to raise poultry.

Yao Shu turned his head in surprise, and said to Lin Zhi, "This place is really nice!"

She had long felt that the small courtyard in Yaojia Village was indeed too small, and could only store sundries, wash and dry clothes, and couldn't do anything else.

Now in this place, you can also grow flowers, fruits and vegetables in your free time.

"Er Treasure saw grandma's chickens in spring and couldn't walk anymore, so she wanted to take them home and raise them herself... If she sees this place, she will be very happy."

Yao Shu frowned, walked closer to the fence to look, and saw that there were traces of raising chickens and ducks inside.

Lin Rong suggested, "Why don't you go inside and have a look?"

The house faces south and has three rooms in total.

The north house is the main house, with the largest area and good lighting; the second is the east wing room, and the third is the west wing room. The furniture in the house is all available. Although there are traces of time, it is also clean and tidy. It can be seen that the original owner of the house still loves himself very much. home's.

Yao Shu went around several houses, and said to Lin Roe with some surprise: "This house looks really good...is the original family living?"

Lin Rong nodded, and said: "The previous family was a family of scholars, but after winning the election, the whole family moved to any place, and this house was vacant."

Yao Shu showed doubts: "The house doesn't look like it's been empty all year round?"

"Well," the man explained, "that man won the election three years ago, and has been on the waitlist ever since."

After the ancients passed the imperial examination, they did not become officials immediately.

There are a certain number of official positions in the imperial court, and many positions have to wait for the former people to retire before the latter can fill them up. This is the "waiting vacancies".

In some dynasties, there are often people who won the imperial examination. Because there is no acquaintance in the dynasties, the files have been put in the box, waiting for decades without an official position, and finally getting old.

Yao Shu sighed: "The imperial examination is not easy! After ten years of studying hard, even if you really win, it depends on your luck. If you are unlucky, don't you have to wait a lifetime?"

Lin Rong responded, "If a poor family wants to become an official, the only way is the imperial examination."

For some reason, Yao Shu thought of the little storyteller in the teahouse again: "Yu Zhi looks like he has a good family background, so if he doesn't pass the exam or ranks low, it won't matter too much... But I still hope he Don't miss this end, and suffer another three years in vain."

After all, the ancient imperial examinations really counted as thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge, which was much more tragic than the modern college entrance examinations.

After listening to Yao Shu's words, Lin Rong frowned, and said with a slightly twisted tone, "Ashu, why do you always think about him?"

Yao Shu walked around for a long time, returned to the main room, and sat down on the chair.

She glanced at the expression on Lin Zhi's face, and couldn't help laughing: "Why do I always miss him?"

Lin Zhi took a step forward, but didn't speak.

Seeing his appearance, Yao Shu thought of Husky's emoji, coughed twice, and gave in: "Okay, I won't mention him anymore, can't I?"

She smiled, dragged him to a chair beside her, let him sit face to face with her, and asked something else: "I like this house very much, are we going to rent it?"

Speaking of the business, Lin Roe's other messy emotions cleared up, and said: "The landlord wants to sell, and the price is 200 taels of silver."

Yao Shu counted his surplus from selling rouge last year.

At that time, the carved box of rouge she made sold at the highest price. She sold it to the wives of dignitaries and dignitaries for a box of ten taels, a total of forty boxes. You can also get 400 taels of silver.

But ordinary farmers only spend ten taels of silver a year, but this small house costs 200 taels.

She sighed for a moment, sure enough, whether it is ancient or modern, housing prices are not low!

He also heard Lin Zhi say: "You don't have to worry about money matters, I will take care of it myself."

Yao Shu was a little funny, when he bought her a hairpin a few days ago, the man even gave away the last bit of valuables on his body, where did he get the money to buy a house now?
She knew that Lin Zhi might not be willing to let her pay, so she said softly: "Don't you still have to pay the Lin family five taels of silver every month? We bought the yard in Yaojia Village, and now we don't have to immediately purchase……"

The man nodded and didn't say much.

But Yao Shu looked at his meaning, probably because he had an idea.

She didn't take the initiative to ask, it just depends on whether Lin Roe will discuss it with her then.

The two checked the details of the house again, and it was getting late, so Yao Shu said to Lin Zhi, "You should go to the Xunzu Mansion earlier, and look for the second brother."

Lin Rong agreed, and then asked Yao Shu, "Where can I find you later?"

Yao Shu happened to have something to go to shopkeeper Liu, so he said to Lin Zhi, "I'll go to Buzhuang first, after you finish talking with the second brother, we'll go to the teahouse together."

The two walked out of the courtyard and split up.

Yao Shu wandered slowly to the cloth shop, and shopkeeper Liu was in the shop, muttering and complaining to the shop assistant.

When she heard it, it was the guy who bought something with the wages he had just paid. The shopkeeper was very dissatisfied: "You brat, how much wages do you earn every month?! Buying all these flashy things, with this money If you save up, you can either marry a wife, or subsidize the family, which one is better than you?!"

With a smile on his face all the time, the guy agreed foolishly: "Hey! Master, I won't buy it next time."

He has been an apprentice in various places since he was a little older, and he is used to calling the person who takes him "master".

Shopkeeper Liu's eyes widened when he heard this: "I won't buy it next time? Who said last month that I must save money this month?! Tell your grandpa about the next time!"

He hates iron and iron, and uses the cloth ruler on the counter to measure the size to swing it on the clerk's arm. It looks aggressive, but it can't actually cause any harm.

The buddy smiled "hehe" again, and said nothing.

The two of them didn't see Yao Shu at the door. She walked into the store and asked the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper Liu, I haven't seen you for a while, how are you doing?"

When shopkeeper Liu saw Yao Shu, all the messy anger aroused by the waiter disappeared, and his face burst into a smile: "Miss is here! Thanks to Miss, business has been good recently, especially the ready-made clothes, which are selling very well." !"

As he spoke, he stared at the clerk and said, "It's just that the people in the store are disobedient, and they can't see me not being angry all day long."

Yao Shu also knew that he wasn't really angry, so he smiled and said, "Who doesn't know that you are scolding people, but also for their own good. What happened today, it sounds like the guy bought something?"
