Small courtyard is not very big, in a quite quiet alley, outside the yard planted a few tall willows.

When the breeze blows, the sprouting willow branches sway from side to side. Looking at this tree room from afar, it's really beautiful.

Yao Shu did not go in, looking at the scenery in front of him, and immediately fell in love with it.

She was surprised, turned to look at Lin Du and asked, "how did you find such a place?"

Hearing her light tone, Lin radial knew that she liked it. He said in a deep voice, "brother Tuo has searched several places. Only here is quieter. If you like, let's go in and have a look."

Yao Shu nodded with a smile: "small recluse in the wild, big hidden in the city There is such a secluded place in the downtown. Let's go in and have a look

They said, and they went to the courtyard.

The gate of the courtyard is dark pear blossom wood, not locked.

The courtyard is not big from the outside, but there is a hole in it -

there are all kinds of wells, stables, vegetable gardens, and even fences are installed to feed poultry.

Yao Shu turned back in surprise and said to Lin radial, "it's really good here."

She had long felt that the small courtyard in Yaojia village was too small. She could only put in sundries and wash clothes, but could not do anything nearby.

Now in this place, there are many kinds of flowers and plants, fruits and vegetables.

"Er Bao saw grandma's chickens in the spring. He couldn't walk any more. He had to take them back and raise them by themselves If she saw it, she would be very happy

Yao Shu's eyes and eyebrows were crooked. He approached the fence and saw that there were traces of chickens and ducks inside.

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

The house faces south and has three rooms.

The north house is the main house with the largest area and good lighting. The East Wing room and the West Wing room are the second. The furniture in the room is complete. Although there are traces of years, it is also clean and tidy. It can be seen that the original owner of the house still cherishes his own home very much.

Yao Shu turned all the houses around and said to Lin radial in surprise: "this house looks really good Is the original family no longer living? "

Lin radial nodded and said, "before that family was a scholar, but later he was promoted. When the whole family moved to Ren Di, the house was empty."

Yao Shu looks puzzled: "does the room look like it's not like no one lives all year round?"

"Well," the man explained, "the man got the lift three years ago and has been waiting for a vacancy."

The ancients were not able to become officials immediately after they passed the imperial examination.

There are a certain number of official posts in the imperial court, and many of them can only be filled by those who have retired from their posts. This is called "waiting for vacancies".

In some dynasties, people who won the imperial examination often appeared. Because there were no acquaintances in the dynasty, the archives were kept in the box, waiting for decades without official posts, and finally became old.

Yao Shu sighed: "the imperial examination is not easy either! After ten years of hard study, even if you really get it, you have to look at luck. What's worse is not to wait for a lifetime? "

Lin Du answered: "if you want to be an official in a poor family, you have to take the imperial examination."

For some reason, Yao Shu thought of the young scholar in the teahouse: "Yu Zhi seems to have a good family background. If he doesn't pass the exam or is ranked lower, it won't matter much But I hope he won't miss the end of the game and get another three years in vain. "

After all, the ancient imperial examination really counted thousands of troops crossing the single wooden bridge, which was much more tragic than the modern college entrance examination.

After listening to Yao Shu's words, Lin radial frowned tightly. His voice was vaguely different and twisted: "Ashu, why do you always think about him?"

After a long walk, Yao Shu went back to the main room and sat down on the chair.

She looked at the expression on Lin radial's face and said with a smile, "where do I always miss him?"

Lin radial stepped forward and did not speak.

Seeing his appearance, Yao Shu thought of Husky's expression bag, coughed twice and gave in: "OK, I won't mention him, isn't it OK?"

She laughed, pulled him to one of the chairs, let him sit face to face with herself, and asked, "I love this house. Are we going to rent it?"

Speaking of the business, Lin radial's other disordered emotions were cleared up and said, "the house is mainly sold, and the bid is 200 Liang silver."

Yao Shu calculated the balance of his Rouge sales last year.

At that time, the price of rouge, a carved box she made, was the highest. She sold a box of ten Liang to the ladies of high-ranking officials. If she sold all of them, she would get 400 liang of silver. If she spent a lot of money in the new year, she could still get 200 taels of silver.

But ordinary farmers spend only ten Liang a year. This small house costs two hundred Liang.

For a moment, she sighed that, as expected, both ancient and modern housing prices were not low!

"You don't have to worry about money. I'll solve it."

Yao Shu is funny. He bought a hairpin for her a few days ago. The man even sent out the last valuable thing. Now where can he get the money to buy a house?She knew that Lin radial might not be willing to let her pay, so she said in a warm voice, "don't you want to give the Lin family five Liang silver every month? Now we don't have to buy it from Yao's village

The man nodded and didn't say much.

But Yao Shu looked at what he meant. Maybe he had an idea.

She did not take the initiative to ask, just to see if Lin radial would discuss with her.

They checked the details of the house again. It was not too early. Yao Shu said to Lin radial, "you should go to the police house earlier and look for the second brother."

Lin radial agreed and asked Yao Shu, "where can I find you later?"

Yao Shu happened to have something to look for manager Liu, so he said to Lin radial, "I'll go to the cloth shop first. After you talk to the second brother, we'll go to the teahouse."

They went out of the small courtyard, and then they acted separately.

Yao Shu slowly swayed to the cloth shop, and shopkeeper Liu was in the shop, grumbling about the man.

When she heard about it, the shopkeeper was very dissatisfied with what he had just bought with his salary: "you stinky boy, how much money do you earn every month?"?! If you want to buy all these flashy things and save the money, you can either marry a daughter-in-law or subsidize the family. Which is better than spending money blindly? "

With a smile on his face all the time, he promised with a simple voice: "ah! Master, I won't buy it next time. "

Since he was a little older, he became an apprentice in all kinds of places and was used to calling him "master".

After hearing this, manager Liu's eyes widened a little: "don't you buy it next time? Who said last month? I must have saved a lot of money this month?! Tell your grandfather next time

He hated to throw the cloth ruler which was used to measure the size on the counter to the man's arm without steel. He looked fierce, but in fact, it didn't do any harm.

"Hey, hey, hey, man," he said.

They never saw Yao Shu at the door. She went into the store and asked the shopkeeper, "manager Liu, I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you recently?"

When manager Liu saw Yao Shu, his anger was scattered and his face was full of laughter: "miss is coming! Thanks to Miss Li, the business has been good recently, especially the ready-made clothes, which are selling well! "

Then he glared and looked at the clerk: "it's the people in the shop who don't obey the orders. I'm not angry to see me all day."

Yao Shu also knew that he was not really angry, so he said with a smile: "who doesn't know that your knife mouth and heart curd heart is a curse, but also for that person's good. What's the matter today? Sounds like a guy bought something? "
