Ji Ning basically has no experience in dealing with tooth people, even if he wanted to buy a servant's house before, it was basically He An who came forward, a scholar, especially a scholar with a reputation for himself, it was still a shame to talk to people about business, even if Ji Ning didn't have so many inhibitions, he would avoid them appropriately.

But now he only has Yu Ling by his side, Yu Ling is a girl's family in the field, obviously he can't let Yu Ling come out to take the lead, so he, Ji Ning, is going to become the one who comes out to talk about business.

Ji Ning said: "There is such a yard, take me to see it first, if the yard is good, I can think about it, I don't know if Lin Er has time?" ”

"If there is time, it depends on whether Master Ji's time is appropriate, if it is not suitable, then when there is time!" Lin Yi was very enthusiastic about helping Ji Ning find a yard, and even regarded Ji Ning as a parent of food and clothing.

Ji Ning knows that the world is difficult, an ordinary person, either as a farmer, and in a place like the capital, the price of land is very high, even if you are a tenant, you don't necessarily have the ability to rent the field, if you can't be a tenant, then you can only rely on selling your physical strength to work, this era because of the backwardness of production tools, so that the dependence on manpower is very high, a person who wants to spend not much effort, want to do the business of the tooth man, must have enough resources, but also have enough cheekiness, can hone themselves in the wall again and again.

made an appointment with Lin Yi, Ji Ning went back to talk to Yu Ling for the time being, Yu Ling was also very enthusiastic about Ji Ning's desire to find a yard, because that meant that she had a small yard where she could move, and she could live a kind of "two-person world" with Ji Ning, and even she could use the small courtyard as a home with Ji Ning, and even she would have some other visions, all of which were girlish nature.

"Young master, will the slaves and maids go together to see it later?" Yu Ling asked with wide eyes.

"Okay." Ji Ning nodded and said, "Let's go over together, but don't talk nonsense, pretend to be a man, others won't recognize you, you can be a little heel in the back, just like a little guy!" ”

Yu Ling's little head flew quickly, she hoped to move out earlier than Ji Ning, because in the inn, it was inconvenient for a girl to enter and exit, and it was not even convenient to prepare water for Ji Ning to bathe or wash her feet, and she even had to wait for the shopkeeper to bring in the water before serving tea, which made her feel very uncomfortable.

In Yu Ling's imagination, it should be that Ji Ning is preparing for the township exam, and she is like a little hostess, taking care of Ji Ning's left and right, so that Ji Ning can enjoy her gentleness and thoughtfulness.

……

……

Ji Ning took Yu Ling, who was very handsome and dressed as a man, and went to several mansions he found with Lin Yi to check.

With the help of the locals, Ji Ning is really much more convenient, and he also knows that if no one recommends him, others will hear that he is raising people to rent a yard, and he will only rent it for a few months at a time, and he may open his mouth widely, and others know that lifting people is a rich person, after all, lifting people in the examination means entering the scholar class, as the most basic few hundred taels of silver for the scholar class, there are still a few hundred taels of silver as the most basic class, and it will be distressing to come to the capital to rent a courtyard of a few taels of silver? If you pass the Jinshi exam, all the capital will come back.

The place Lin Yi was looking for, although the price was about the same, the grade had obviously gone up.

The courtyard of the independent courtyard that Ji Ning wants to find is itself limited to the small door and small household, and the few houses that Lin Yi found are all large courtyards with two or three courtyards, I heard that it was Xie Yuangong who came to rent the yard, and originally asked for one or two taels of silver, but now he may be willing to rent it for less than one or two silver, the reason is also very simple, if Ji Ning can be admitted to the Jinshi, there will be a Jinshi in their own house, which is a great honor.

"Master Ji, which of the several courtyards you have seen before, are you satisfied?" Lin Yi enthusiastically took Ji Ning to a few places, and when he came out, the sun was already in the sky, although it was winter, Lin Yi was already sweating on his forehead.

"It's all good, but there are no other yards." Ji Ning said.

Lin Yi smiled a little bitterly: "Master Ji, what kind of yard do you like?" Tell the villain, the villain is also special to find for you, the few yards you looked at before, it stands to reason that they are very suitable for your requirements! ”

Ji Ning said: "I don't want the yard to be too big, it must be a separate courtyard, the most important thing is that it is clean, it is not bad to be secluded, it is best to see the sun, it is not very dark, in addition...... It's just a feeling! ”

"That's it......" Lin Yi muttered in his heart, this person doesn't want a big yard, why a small yard, is there a tendency to masochism?

"Master Ji, let's do it, I heard that there is a courtyard around Chongwen Gate, the corner is good, and it is somewhat similar to what you said, that is...... Forget it, I'll take you elsewhere! Lin Yi suddenly wanted to speak and stopped.

Ji Ning frowned and said, "What do you mean?" ”

"Actually...... It's hard to say, it's just ...... The villain's yard, if you like it, you can go over and see, if you are satisfied, you live there, that is the villain's old house, originally wanted to rent out or sell, so that the wife and children can live a good life, that is, the house, some unclean, occasionally ...... Haunted, so no one dared to live in it for three days, and the news spread that the villain's yard was always empty! Lin Yi was a little embarrassed.

Yu Ling was frightened, and said angrily: "You are really, you know that it is haunted, and you still let my young master live?" ”

Ji Ning stretched out his hand to interrupt Yu Ling's words, and said: "Don't say it, I like to read late at night on weekdays, and I like to find a ghost as a companion, this is not a problem, you take me to have a look, if it is suitable, I don't mind renting your yard!" ”

Lin Yi smiled and said: "Yes, are you a master, or Xie Yuangong, you have a noble spirit, you are a Wenqu star, and you are old, so what kind of cow, ghost, snake and god can't avoid three points?" Master Ji, let's go over and take a look......"

Lin Yi was very excited, he had seen other people's houses before, even if he rented it out, then he could only charge a benefit fee of one or two dollars of silver, which was very small compared to the bulk of the rent, and now he wanted to rent his own yard, of course he was very happy, maybe he could make a lot of money, after all, his yard had not been rented out for a long time.

The three of them walked through a few streets and alleys, and just when Yuling felt a little tired, they finally arrived at the courtyard that Lin Yi said, Ji Ning looked at the alley, it was silent, and the surroundings looked very barren, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a populated place.

"This is what you call your old house?" Ji Ning looked at it and didn't go into the alley, "It doesn't look like that." ”

"Master Ji will know when you go in and take a look, this place is really good, the most important thing is the scenery, my ancestors used to be a small official in the yamen, so leave this house, if you are not satisfied, the villain will pull off his head!" Lin Yi swore solemnly.
