The residential area in the west of the city is inhabited by some ordinary people with little money or traders who do some small business, and the streets are full of people, which is not deserted, but it is not lively. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, the two soft sedan chairs stopped in front of a house, and it was naturally Xiao Peng and Master Lin who came down from the sedan chair, and the old broker was not qualified to sit in the sedan chair, so he just followed the sedan chair on foot.

This is an ordinary two-entry quadrangle, Xiao Peng followed Master Lin into the gate and entered the front yard, there are two stone tables in the front yard, four stone piers are placed around each stone table, and a few sparse peach trees are planted in the open space on both sides, and a middle gate blocks the scenery of the inner courtyard.

Walking into the middle gate along the path paved with stones, Xiao Peng glanced at the pattern of the inner courtyard, with corridors on all sides, and three wings on the left and right, which should be the bedroom, and a courtyard in the middle, also planted with a few peach trees, and a deep well in the courtyard for water.

After the courtyard is the hall, on which are neatly arranged several Taishi chairs, on both sides are hollowed-out wooden shelves, on which some ordinary porcelain are placed.

"How can Xiao Gongzi be satisfied with this house?" Master Lin took Xiao Peng to look around the house, and finally sat down in the hall.

"Hehe, the layout and environment of the house built by Master Lin are quite good, I am very satisfied, let's make a price! Xiao Peng opened the folding fan with a bang and smiled.

Master Lin's face was happy, and he said with a smile: "Hahaha, Xiao Gongzi is happy, even so, I won't be verbose, originally I made this house for three thousand eight hundred taels, but I feel that Xiao Gongzi is a friend worth making, so I will give Gongzi a whole number, three thousand five hundred taels, just make a friend, how about it?"

Master Lin didn't know that this friend worth making in his eyes would personally take the life of his own son in the near future, and the biggest reason was because he sold this house to Xiao Peng, but unfortunately he would not be a prophet, so at this time, he still happily sold the house to Xiao Peng.

Xiao Peng has no concept of silver, and he looks at Master Lin is really pleasing to the eye, the most important thing is that he is too lazy to bargain with others, so he happily decided, took out a stack of silver tickets from his clothes, counted out three thousand five hundred taels and handed it to Master Lin, and Master Lin also handed over the title deed to Xiao Peng at the same time, handing over the money with one hand and delivering the goods with the other, and the money and goods were cleared.

Of course, the commission of the old broker is indispensable, and he got a full 70 taels of commission, and everyone is happy at the moment.

"Hahaha, it's a great blessing in my life to get acquainted with a young talent like Xiao Gongzi today, when it's a big deal, Xiao Gongzi, why don't you follow me to the cold house for a drink or two?"

Xiao Peng sighed slightly, and said to Master Lin apologetically: "Thank you Master Lin for your kindness, but this house is newly bought, and there is nothing yet, and I have to buy some daily necessities in the future, or I'm afraid I will have to sleep on a board bed at night, hehe." Now that I live in the same town as Master Lin, I will have the opportunity to disturb him in the future, so don't pretend that I don't know Master Lin when the time comes. ”

"Hahahaha, Childe laughed, okay! That is why I don't force it, Childe can ask the old king to help him if he wants to buy something, he has been a broker in this town for decades, what to do to find him is right, I will definitely be able to do it properly for you, then I will not delay Childe's time, farewell, and when Childe is properly settled, Childe is welcome to come to the cold house at any time. ”

"Be sure to go to bother, Master Lin will go slowly, and I will not send it far. Xiao Peng sent Master Lin to the door and hugged his fist at Master Lin who was in the sedan chair.

After sending off Master Lin, Xiao Peng gave Lao Wang another 50 taels of silver and asked him to help him buy some bedding utensils. After the old Wang Tou left, he remembered that it was not okay for such a large yard to be taken care of by no one, and even if the problem of eating could be solved at the inn restaurant, it was impossible to do it by himself!

And if you want to hire a handyman to take care of the house, you have to cook by yourself, so that the cook can not be less, I didn't expect it to be so troublesome. Xiao Peng frowned slightly, looked at this house that already belonged to him, sighed, and went out.

Walking to the street, strolling around casually, suddenly Xiao Peng's eyes lit up, and he saw an old Xiucai who was setting up a stall on the street, specializing in helping people write couplets and family letters, and suddenly had an idea.

"This son, is there anything you need Xiao Lao'er to serve?" the gray-haired old Xiucai saw Xiao Peng sitting across his table and asked respectfully.

Xiao Peng thought for a while and said, "Old man, I would like to ask you to help me write a recruitment revelation." Well, I'm going to recruit two miscellaneous servants, a cook, and the cook's monthly salary is twenty taels, and the miscellaneous servants are ten taels, and the same is in charge of food and lodging, and you can write it in the form of a notice according to this meaning. ”

The old Xiucai shook his hand, looked at Xiao Peng like a monster, and asked cautiously, "Childe, are you sure you are looking for handymen and cooks?"

"Uh...... But what's wrong?" Xiao Peng asked with a little weakness, he was completely blind to the price and per capita income in ancient times, and the quotation was also casually reported, but he didn't expect to scare Lao Xiucai.

"Do you know how much the inn shopkeeper's salary is a month?" asked Lao Xiucai hesitantly.

"I hope to teach. Xiao Peng humbly asked.

Lao Xiucai talked eloquently, "The salary of the shopkeeper in January is about two taels of silver, and the better cook is only five taels, really speaking, it is much easier to do chores in a private house than to be a junior two, even if the master is kind, it is almost the same to give a two, three or two a month, the cook has a high income of five or six taels, and the son is ten taels and twenty taels as soon as he opens his mouth, which ...... You can't be so bad if you have money!" In the end, Lao Xiucai also complained a little.

Xiao Peng's face was slightly impressive, he can be regarded as rich and capricious, he hugged Lao Xiucai's fist, and said: "Ahem, thank the old man for informing me, since this is the case, then the old man will write like this...... Five taels of miscellaneous servants, ten taels of cooks, food and housing, my son is not afraid of spending money, but when I come to my son's house to do things, I must be down-to-earth, and my son who does a good job will never be treated badly. ”

After speaking, he took out ten taels of silver from the money bag on his waist and put it in front of Lao Xiucai, and said, "Please also ask the old man to bother, this is the old man's reward." ”

Lao Xiucai's eyes widened, and he waved his hand again and again: "It's too much, too much, Childe, I'll help you write a notice to put it bluntly, just give a few pennies." Childe made a generous move, and the little old man also saw that the son should come out of a rich family, and he was not short of money, but he could only get as much as he paid, and the little old man only paid a few drops of pen and ink, just a blank piece of paper, which was really deserved!"

Xiao Peng shook the folding fan and said with a smile: "The old man doesn't need to say much, the money taken out by this son has not been recovered, not to mention that this son has never had the habit of collecting broken change, if the old man does not accept it, I have to ask for another master." Even if you accept it, when I still need to write any paperwork in the future, I won't pay for it. ”

Lao Xiucai saw Xiao Peng say this, so he had to accept the money, and said: "In this case, Xiao Lao'er will accept it with a cheeky face, if there is anything else that needs to be written by someone in the future, please come to Xiao Lao'er, and Xiao Lao'er promises not to take a penny." ”

After speaking, I didn't say more, just spread out a piece of rice paper and began to write. Xiao Peng can only look at traditional Chinese characters, so he no longer pays attention to Lao Xiucai's writing. The notice was quickly written, and after the ink dried, Xiao Peng put away the notice, and turned around to leave in the old Xiucai's thousand thanks, and the old Xiucai also gave a bottle of paste very intimately.

Xiao Peng took the notice back to his yard and pasted it on the wall next to the gate. Then he just had to wait for someone to apply, and he had never had the experience of being a boss interviewer, so he didn't expect to be addicted to being a boss in this ancient world. I didn't go out and walk around at the moment, the gate was opened, I went to a nearby restaurant to buy a few pots of good wine, and sat on the stone table in the front yard waiting for someone to apply.
