Chapter 2 Liu Niangzi
At the end of the previous chapter, there was a small bug, which has been fixed.
This is a very standard Chang'an dwelling.
Through the courtyard wall, which was only shoulder-high and made of rammed earth, Di Renjie could see it clearly.
In the one-acre square courtyard, the main house has one living room and two compartments. On the left is a side room, two wings, on the right is a kitchen, and a small stable. It's just that the stable is empty, and it can be seen from the cobwebs at the door that it has been abandoned for a long time.
According to Tang Law, a family of three has an acre of homestead.
So it can also be seen from this that this family is definitely a serious family.
"Liu Niangzi, is Liu Niangzi at home?"
In response to Zhang Cambodia, there was a burst of dog barking.
A black dog, coming out of the hall of the main house, stood at the door, barking at the courtyard door.
"Kurosaburo, shut up."
Immediately after, a woman's voice came from the house.
"Who is it?"
"Mrs. Liu, it's me, Zhang Cambodia, I came to see the house a few days ago, do you remember?"
A middle-aged woman dressed in simple clothes came out of the house and stood at the door, she frowned lightly, and said, "I remember, you are the student." ”
As she spoke, she walked over and opened the courtyard door.
"Lady Liu, good memory."
Zhang Cambodia smiled with him and bowed.
However, Liu Niangzi didn't give him a good face: "Of course I remember you, last time you said to go back and think about it, but you didn't go back, and it delayed me for half a month." I'm saying, if you don't come again, I'll go and look for the tooth. ”
Zhang Cambodia's way: "The house of the eldest lady's family is indeed good, but it's a pity that I like to be quiet and don't want to share it with others, so I didn't dare to disturb it again." ”
When Liu Niangzi heard this, her face suddenly changed.
"In that case, what are you doing here?"
"Don't misunderstand, although students are not used to living with others, the eldest lady's house is excellent.
This is a new recruit from the country, looking for a house. I thought that the eldest lady's house was very suitable, so I brought him. Big lady, this is my classmate, Taiyuan people, this year's new life in Guozijian. ”
Although Zhang Cambodia laughed with him, his words still revealed an inexplicable sense of superiority.
Although he is poor, after all, he is a student of Guozijian and a student.
To put it mildly, these people are all going to be officials in the future...... Liu Niangzi, to put it bluntly, is always just a common person.
In fact, without Zhang Cambodia's introduction, Liu Niangzi can also see Di Renjie.
After all, Di Renjie is half a head taller than Zhang Cambodia, and although he is standing behind Zhang Cambodia, he still looks very eye-catching.
Di Renjie stepped forward and said, "Big lady, Di Renjie is down." ”
Liu Niangzi frowned slightly, and her face looked much better.
"This Lang Jun, I will say ugly things in front. This house, I only rent the side house here, and the main house is used by Ami and me, and I will not move out. If the son doesn't dislike it, then everything is negotiable, if you don't want to, just say it. ”
This big lady speaks very directly.
After she finished speaking, she also glanced at Zhang Cambodia.
Of course, Zhang Cambodia understood what she meant, his face flushed, and he didn't say a word as if he didn't understand.
Di Renjie said with a smile: "Big lady, students come to Chang'an to study, but it is enough to have a place to live.
Quiet, clean, convenient and safe! That's all I have to ask. If the eldest lady can take care of me and the domestic servant's food better, if not, we can find our own way, and there is no need for the eldest lady to be embarrassed. However, the fee ......"
Liu Niangzi's face softened a lot.
"It's delicious, and my small family doesn't know how to make it.
But if it's coarse tea and light rice, it's not inconvenient, it's just two more people. This house is only inhabited by me and Ami. Those two partial rooms, Lang Jun can use them casually. I can also take care of the clothes of Lang Jun and your entourage...... A miscellaneous fee is counted in the rental fee, which is 1,800 yuan a month, and is collected on the tenth day of each month.
If Lang Jun agrees, I have the paperwork here. After Lang Jun signs, I will send it to Fangzheng, and Lang Jun can come over at any time. ”
1,800 money, food, housing, laundry and cleaning?
Di Renjie was suddenly moved and looked at Hong Liang.
Hong Liang is his servant, but also his most trusted partner.
"Lang Jun, I think it's okay."
Hong Liang inquired yesterday, and Liu Niangzi's rent is indeed not high.
You must know that the rent in Chang'an City goes from north to south, and the further north you go, the higher the price.
Chongde Fang is located in the middle of Chang'an, to the east across an Anye Fang, is Zhuque Street, belongs to Chang'an County.
Such a location, if changed in later generations, will definitely belong to the center of the second ring road.
Hong Liang has investigated, like this location of the independent courtyard, the monthly rent is more than 3,000, and the environment is very poor. Mrs. Liu gave a price of 1,080, and she also took care of the laundry and cleaning, which was definitely a very intimate price.
"Big lady, can I take a look at the house?"
"Lang Jun is free."
Liu Niangzi retreated to the door of the main house and sat on the Hu bed at the door.
The black dog named Hei Saburo immediately came up and crawled at the feet of Liu Niangzi.
Two side rooms, one large and one small.
The larger one is divided into two rooms, which is actually equal to three.
Pushing open the window, there is a small clear river. Looking across the river, it is the back door of Lingbao Temple.
In the premises, the furniture is simple, but very clean, and it is clear that someone has been cleaning it regularly.
Di Renjie was very satisfied and walked out of the side room.
Hong Liang and Zhang Cambodia were still in the house, so he came to Liu Niangzi's side, took off his robe, and sat directly on the steps.
The moment he sat down, Di Renjie suddenly had a feeling of hair.
He turned his head and saw the black dog.
The black dog immediately closed his eyes, as if asleep.
"Big lady, who did you just say 'Ami'?"
"Oh, Ami is my son, and now he is working as an errand in the yamen."
Di Renjie was stunned for a moment, and asked curiously: "Dare to ask, which yamen is it?" ”
"It's in Chang'an County."
At this time, Zhang Cambodia and Hong Liang also finished looking at the house and walked over.
"Huaiying, how's it going?"
"It's a very good house, and I'm very satisfied."
Di Renjie said and stood up.
"Big lady, I rented this house...... I don't know, can I move here tomorrow? ”
Liu Niangzi didn't talk nonsense, went back to the house and took out a contract document, handed it to Di Renjie and said, "As long as Lang Jun signs the paperwork, he can move over at any time." As for the rental money, the day after tomorrow will be the tenth day of the first month, and Lang Jun will give it to me at that time. ”
"Big lady, she's a cheerful person."
Di Renjie couldn't help laughing, took the paperwork and looked at it twice.
This is a very standardized lease document, and it also has the signature and seal of Sun Youdao, the head of Chongde Fangfang.
This is a very well-behaved woman!
In addition, Liu Niangzi said that her son was working in the yamen of Chang'an County, Di Renjie was naturally more relieved and immediately signed his name.
"In that case, I'll come early tomorrow morning."
"Okay, then I'll clean the house again tonight.
It just so happens that Ami will take a break tomorrow, if Lang Jun needs any household items, let him take you to buy it.
There is a Sun Kee grocery store in Fangxi, which is the property of Fangzheng's family, specializing in old items, which are very cheap, but also very practical. ”
Di Renjie hurriedly thanked: "In this way, it will trouble the eldest lady." “
Saying goodbye to Mrs. Liu, it was past noon.
Di Renjie solved the problem of residence, but it was also a matter of concern, and it was much easier.
The three of them found a nearby wine shop, and Di Renjie took a bunch of money and put it on the table.
"Thanks to Brother Zhang's help this time, otherwise it would be really difficult for me to find such a good place to live."
Money is a thank you gift.
If Di Renjie is looking for a house in the Yaren Bank, it will be almost the same expense.
Zhang Cambodia was not polite, and immediately put away the money.
"Huaiying, I didn't expect you to make a decision so quickly, so there are some words that I haven't had time to explain."
"Oh? Please also ask the eldest brother for advice. ”
"After I looked at the house last time, I inquired about the situation of Mrs. Liu's house by the way."
When Di Renjie heard this, he frowned and said, "Could it be that there is something wrong with Liu Niangzi's family?" ”
"There's nothing wrong with that...... Liu Niangzi's husband, named Su Sanlang, was originally a bad handsome man in Chang'an County, he was very upright, and his reputation in Chang'an County was not bad. In the seventeenth year of Zhenguan, he should be conquered by Wang Xuance, a doctor of Chaosan, and sent Tianzhu with Li Yibiao; In the twenty-first year of Zhenguan, he applied again and went to Tianzhu with Wang Xuance, but this time he ...... He didn't come back. ”
"Is there such a thing?"
Di Renjie was startled and sat up straight.
"Su Saburo has a son under his knees, named Su Dawei, which is the Ami that Liu Niangzi said.
Last year, Chang'an County suddenly recruited him as a bad person. He was injured on an errand trip last May and has since become a bit eccentric. There are even rumors that he hit the evil ......"
"Hit the devil?"
Di Renjie's eyes flashed, and he said softly: "This Ami, is it very bad?" ”
"It's not bad, it's just that it's a little weird. Anyway, as far as I know, he didn't do anything bad. ”
"That's good!"
Di Renjie breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that he will do something bad and cause trouble when the time comes." ”
"That's not going to ...... Anyway, Huaiying, if you regret it, it's still too late.
If you decide to stay, don't worry too much. I inquired, and he is a very filial person. With Liu Niangzi here, you are too a student, and he doesn't dare to have any bad intentions when he thinks about it. I'm just telling you to be careful. ”
"I understand, and thank Brother Zhang for reminding me."
