Chapter 40 Zi Bu Yu’s strange power and chaos
"I heard that your family has a child prodigy. He was literate at the age of three and wrote poetry at the age of seven. He is now fifteen. It is estimated that after this year, your Chen family will have one more scholar.
There are not many talented people from this discipline in Jianghuan Town. ”
Manager Zhou smiled and said.
"You have to take the test to find out."
The middle-aged scholar said this, but he couldn't hide the smile on his face.
Chen Yushu also bowed to the scholar at this time and said: "Chen Yushu has met Mr. Chen."
I have some doubts in my heart. Last time I didn’t say that I knew Ya Xing?
Of course, he only needs the house to be suitable, and he doesn't want to pay attention to Bo Ze in the middle.
Then, he looked at the many apprentices busy in the drug store and asked Manager Xiang Zhou: "Is it appropriate to leave now?"
"What's inappropriate? Let's go!"
Manager Zhou didn't take it seriously. As the front yard manager, of course he could make the final decision on this matter.
And it seems that out of care for Chen Yushu, he also went together.
Of course, Chen Yushu was happy with this, and the middle-aged scholar Chen Shi also nodded and walked forward first.
"Although my house is a bit remote, the environment is still very good, and it is also close to Jingning Academy, which is where my family Jie'er studied before.
Two bedrooms, one living room, plus a front yard and a back yard.
If I hadn't mentioned it when I was drinking with Brother Zhou last night, I wouldn't have been willing to rent it out. ”
Chen Shi opened his mouth to introduce, and gave Manager Zhou a slightly helpless look.
"If your house is idle, it will remain idle. It is better to rent it out.
It just so happens that my nephew needs it, so I feel more at ease if I give it to him, right? ”
Manager Zhou on the side said with a smile.
Chen Yushu suddenly realized that this was reciprocation. He sold the treasure fish to Manager Zhou, and he probably didn't eat it himself. Whether it was resold or given away, the actual value was definitely far more than fifty taels of silver.
Because of this, I would run around for him and help him find a suitable house.
Of course, I do feel a little more grateful.
Suddenly, Chen Yushu stopped, looked at a house not far away, and asked, "Whose house does that house belong to?"
The courtyard of this house is very large, and there is a stone lion in front of the door. Above the door, there should have been a plaque, which would usually have the name of the house on it, but for some unknown reason, it was taken off and it looked empty.
Even the door looks a bit old. There is a small door on the side. The door is locked, but the lock is rusty. There is a dog hole on the side. Through the dog hole, you can see the overgrown weeds inside. It had obviously been unoccupied for a long time.
"That's the Zuo family compound, but I heard that something happened a few years ago and the entire Zuo family moved out overnight. It's still empty now."
Chen Shi took a look and replied.
"Accident?"
Chen Yushu frowned.
In his opinion, this was not an accident, but something truly haunted.
Last night, when he was walking halfway, he was startled by a strong gloomy aura, and its source was precisely this house.
"It's not just an accident.
It was a real haunted house. Several families moved in before and after them, but they were all scared away within three days. ”
Manager Zhou opened his mouth and said.
"The son is silent and his strange power confuses the gods."
Chen Shi shook his head and said: "There are no ghosts in this world."
"You are a scholar, it is normal not to believe this.
Anyway, with fame and fame, those things don’t dare to appear in front of you. ”
Manager Zhou didn't argue with him.
After a while, they appeared at the door of a house to the north.
The location here is indeed, as Chen Shi said, relatively remote, because not far ahead is the ten-foot-high town wall.
Of course, this house is not the one in the corner. There are three other households in front. This is the fourth house from the bottom. It is specially built with bricks to enclose a small yard. You can still see from the outside that two kinds of trees are planted in the yard. A willow tree has branches and leaves stretching out from the inner courtyard, fluttering in the wind.
"Come in."
Chen Shi opened the courtyard door, guided the two of them in, and said: "This courtyard is not big, but it should be enough for one person to practice martial arts. At the back are rooms, one is a study room, one is a bedroom, and another The pots and pans in the kitchen and living room are still there, so I won’t take them away. They should still be usable after tidying them up.
However, there are still some old books in the study that I haven't had time to clean up. If you think they are taking up space, I will arrange for them to be moved out immediately. ”
Chen Yushu followed his words and looked towards the study.
There is a bookshelf inside, and there are indeed a lot of books on it. Most of them are the Four Books and Five Classics, or calligraphy and painting. There is even some pen and ink in the study room, which should be left by Chen Shi's son.
Then he came to the backyard.
The backyard is actually not big. It is blocked by bamboos. Not far away is a paddy field. Behind the paddy field is a hill. From a distance, there are buildings on the hill.
"That's Tranquility Academy.
It only takes a stick of incense to get to the academy from here. ”
Chen Shi said with a smile.
"How much is the monthly rent for this house?"
Chen Yushu really liked this house, so he quickly started asking about the price.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"How about giving you three taels of silver for the monthly rent?
The minimum rent is half a year. If you rent for a year, you will only be charged thirty taels of silver. ”
Chen Shi pondered for a moment before speaking.
"It's too expensive.
My nephew is just an apprentice.
Lao Chen, don't think he is easy to bully at a young age. ”
Before Chen Yushu could say anything, Manager Zhou quickly glared and said, "This way, it's cheaper for you. Next time I'll ask Dr. Jiao to prepare a medicine for you, and I'll make sure you're satisfied."
"For Brother Zhou's sake, how about two taels of silver a month?
The minimum rent is still half a year, but the one-year exemption is gone.
If you live there for a year, you still need twenty-four taels of silver. ”
Chen Shi said quickly.
"Okay.
That's it, thank you Mr. Chen. ”
Chen Yushu knew that the price was indeed not expensive, so he agreed without much hesitation.
Next, of course, is to find a dental shop and sign the lease documents.
Chen Yushu paid the rent for half a year at once.
……
Back to the drug store, it was almost noon.
"You have rented a house and plan to move out?"
Xu San looked at Chen Yushu with a look of astonishment on his face, "We are both apprentices, isn't the difference too big?"
I think he has been an apprentice in the Liu family medicine shop for more than five years, and has been an apprentice in decoction for more than a year. He earns twenty taels per month, but he has always lived in the medicine shop.
Why?
Without him, he is poor.
He couldn't bear to spend it either.
But what about Chen Yushu? It can be said that he watched the other person enter the medicine shop, and then watched the other person become an apprentice in decoction.
As a result, how long ago did you choose to move out?
"It's a bit inconvenient to be in a drug store after all."
Chen Yushu replied with a smile.
"That's true. Whoever lives in Datongpu knows about the environment."
Xu San opened his mouth, with only envy on his face.
After all, he knew that the other party picked up a treasure fish and sold it for a lot of money.
With so much money around, let alone moving out to rent a house, even living on a flower boat by the river for a month is normal.
