The Zheng family's house is in a secluded alley at the corner of Nancheng Street, the bluestone slab road at the door only allows two cars to go in parallel, out of the alley not far to the south is the South City Gate, here is far from the bustling several main streets, basically residential areas, tall trees poke out of the canopy from the courtyard of each house, the sheltered alley is quiet and cool, and the heat is gone.

Zheng Daguan's ancestors were the family of eunuchs, and in his generation, he studied and took exams for more than ten years, but he didn't make a name for himself, but he made his hands and feet lazy, his body was thin, and he couldn't even work hard to do business.

Failing to study has developed a bad problem for him, eating to be fine, drinking to be delicious, wearing brocade, going out of the car, and paying attention to the quality of life is a mess; But my father only made it to the county official of the eighth grade, and he didn't have a reputation, so as soon as his father died, the family gradually declined, and the money accumulated by his ancestors was also exhausted.

Early this morning, several people from Bianliang inquired everywhere about renting a house in the Nancheng area, and the neighbor Huang Pozi took this group of people to their own house, but they didn't expect the other party to take a fancy to it at once, when negotiating the price, Zheng Daguan gritted his teeth and quoted the price of four monthly rents, and he was afraid that people would be too expensive and twist his ass and leave, but he didn't expect the other party to agree, Zheng Daguan regretted it at the time, it turned out that these people were rich chicks and didn't understand the market at all; So he changed his way to take advantage, first asking for three months in advance, and then asking for the well flowers and plants in the yard, but he didn't expect the gang to agree, and added 500 yuan in monthly rent out of thin air.

Zheng Daguan racked his brains, he really couldn't think of any other way to add money, could it be that he wanted to collect the rent of beds, tables and chairs? In case the other party is not happy, ask yourself to pull these hammer things out, and there is no place for these broken things.

So, Zheng Daguan had to sit down with the gang to make a note, the rent note had just been written, and two copies were spread on the table and were about to be signed by both parties, but they heard the noisy voices outside the hospital, and Aunt Zhao, who had poked her head before, broke into the courtyard with a group of people snoring.

Aunt Zhao squeezed her eyes at Zheng Daguan from afar, Zheng Daguan hurriedly put down the pen and walked over, and was pulled by Aunt Zhao to the corner and muttered.

Su Jin shook the folding fan and stepped into the house, regardless of the four or five people on the other side staring at him, he probed his head left and right to check, and kept praising in his mouth: "Yes, good yard, there are flowers, grass, wells, and a grape trellis; That's great! The house is tall and bright enough, and the two-entry house is good, and it is shared. ”

The white-robed boy who scolded him yesterday was still sitting, but seeing Su Jin's appearance as the master's house, the owner of the house was pulled aside by a fat woman and even said and gestured, and sensitively felt that things were going bad, so he hurriedly gave a look to the maid beside him.

The maid understood, and shouted loudly: "Zheng Daguan, don't waste time, hurry up and draw the note, we are still waiting to move things inside, this house also needs to be cleaned up, there are cobwebs everywhere." ”

Zheng Daguan hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I'll come later." ”

Su Jin secretly laughed, today you can be counted as your ability.

Sure enough, after a while, Zheng Daguan walked into the house, rubbed his hands and smiled and said to the white-clothed man: "Young Master Xia, this ...... Under this house...... I can't rent it, I can't sign this note, and my son forgives it. ”

That Xia Gongzi raised his eyebrows and reprimanded crisply: "How can you go back on your word, look at the good words you wrote, I think you are also a person who has read books, and you can't even simply abide by your promises, no wonder you failed the imperial examination, if you win, wouldn't it be a disaster for the court." ”

Zheng Daguan smiled and arched his hand: "Yes, yes, what you have taught is that no matter what you say, this house cannot be rented to you." ”

Xia Gongzi said angrily: "There are many houses in Tianfu, and I can rent them from other houses, but this son just doesn't resentful of you, if you don't tell a truth today, don't blame me for pulling you to the official to comment, this son will not believe it, Ying Tianfu Yin will tolerate the people under his jurisdiction so unreasonable." ”

Zheng Daguan was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Why should the prince be strong, there is naturally something unspeakable, why do you force me, as you said, there are many vacant houses in Yingtianfu, you only need to casually go outside, and share a lot of houses." ”

"Ben Gongzi forced you? You're joking, who is the first to break your trust? I don't care, you have to give me an explanation today, what is unspeakable, why don't you say this, and now you come and pretend to be pitiful, I don't think it's unspeakable, it's instigated. The man in white clasped his hands on his chest, and he didn't give up without giving an explanation.

Su Jin saw that the fire of war was burning on his head, and he didn't plan to endure it, so he first stared at the flat chest of the white-clothed man, and muttered in his heart how much effort it would take to make the outsiders bound by the two little white rabbits unable to see it, and then he paced up to the porch, and shook the folding fan lightly: "Some people point to Sang scolding Huai, in this world, staying in the house will also be rained, the city gate will be on fire, and the pond fish will suffer, it is really incomprehensible." ”

Xia Gongzi had long known that Su Jin was making trouble, but he couldn't find an excuse to want Su Jin to shoot for a while, and when he saw him take the initiative to appear at this moment, he naturally couldn't ask for it, so he turned his head and looked at Su Jin angrily: "The body is not afraid of shadows, if this son has no ghosts in his heart, why should he mind other people's words, you must have a ghost in your heart." ”

Su Jin smiled and said: "The body is not afraid of shadows, this sentence is good, has this son ever heard of the saying that flies don't crawl seamless eggs?" Why don't I mess with others, but with you? I'm the fly, let's admit it, you're the rotten egg, and when your smell provokes me, I'll crawl on you. ”

"Shut up, straight thief."

"Little thief, speak respectfully, are you looking for a fight?"

"Close Your Beak......"

Su Jin's sentence 'I'll crawl on you' caused people to reverie, and several companions behind Xia Gongzi scolded repeatedly, and some even clenched their fists and wanted to step forward.

Wang Dynasty, Ma Han, Zhang Long, and Zhao Hu easily had a chance to show their skills, and they squeezed their fists in a sand bowl and moved forward, and they were tense in both times, and they were about to move when they saw it.

Zheng Daguan was so frightened that he hid in the corner of the table, and Aunt Zhao was also nervous, these two people were like scholars, they started fighting if they didn't agree with each other, compared to the ruffians on the street who paid for the money, their worried hearts were pounding, their throats and eyes were dry, and they wanted to stop it, but they couldn't make a sound.

"Stand down!" Xia Gongzi reprimanded with a red face, and several companions retreated, Su Jin waved his hand, and the Four Heavenly Kings also retreated.

Xia Gongzi frowned and said, "It seems that this son is going to be right with this son?" ”

Su Jin suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed without warning, and said in the tone of the Hong Kong and Taiwan TV series: "Don't say it so ugly, na, the most important thing when you go out is to be harmonious and make money, I don't want this kind of thing to happen." ”

Xia Gongzi laughed angrily, secretly scolded the scoundrel, and turned his head to Zheng Daguan, who was shrinking to the side: "How much does he give you a monthly rent?" ”

Zheng Daguan was silent, and a tall companion behind Xia Gongzi shouted: "Say! Don't say that Lao Tzu told you not to live in peace in the future. ”

Zheng Daguan peeked at Su Jin, and when he saw that Su Jin didn't look at him, he had to say: "Aunt Zhao said that this son is willing to pay twice your rent price, that is, nine times a month, and renting a house is to seek wealth, so don't blame me, Master Xia." ”

Xia Gongzi glanced at him with disdain, and said with a smile: "What a great ability, the bid is higher than that of this aunt...... Twice as much as the son, this son doesn't want you to be happy, this son is out for fifteen times a month, are you renting it to me or renting it to him? ”

Zheng Daguan was dumbfounded, not knowing whether to be happy or worried.

"Twenty a month. Half a year in advance. Su Jin said with his nose facing the sky.

"You ......" Xia Gongzi stomped his feet angrily, "I'll go out twenty-five." ”

"Thirty ......"

"Thirty-five ......"

"Forty ......"

"Fifty ......" Xia Gongzi's voice changed, becoming sharp and harsh.

"Deal ......" Su Jin smiled, "This dilapidated house, fifty guan is rented for a month, and it is prepaid for six months, and it will cost three hundred yuan in one sum, Xia Gongzi is really rich, three hundred yuan can buy a mansion bigger than this, I will not accompany you, Xia Gongzi, you live, we can't afford to play." ”

"Ahh Yes! Yes! "Xia Gongzi is going crazy, this guy doesn't even shout the price, he rents this house for fifty yuan a month, and it's strange not to be called a fool.

Seeing Su Jin swaggering out, a timid voice from Zheng Daguan came from his ears: "Young Master Xia...... That, fifty a month, shall we make a note? ”

"Compare your mother!" A companion gritted his steel teeth, raised his big fist and was about to seal the eyes of Zheng Daguan, but was quickly pulled by the others behind him, and he made trouble as soon as he arrived in Yingtianfu.

That Xia Gongzi was depressed in his heart, and he had nowhere to vent, so he finally stomped his feet and lay on the shoulder of the maid next to him and whimpered and cried.
