2 Narcissus Flower Street, No. 4 and No. 6 are townhouses, with a polygonal 4-sloped roof, the overall appearance is gray and blue, and 3 chimneys stand prominently.

There is of course no lawn and garden, no porch, and the entrance directly faces the street.

Skutt of “Thengen House Improvement Company” took a string of copper keys and opened the door to introduce:

“Our townhouses have no foyer, they enter the living room, there is a convex window facing Narcissus Flower Street, and the lighting is quite good…”

Reflecting in Klein, Benson and Melissa pupils is a group of cloth sofas bathed in golden sunlight and a spacious space comparable to their previous 2 bedrooms.

“This living room can also be used as a living room, with a dining room on the right and a large fireplace on the left wall for your winter heating.” Skutt pointed at it.

Klein glanced at it and confirmed that it was a rough open-plan, with no partitions in the dining room and living room, but far from the convex window, it looked quite bleak.

There is a small red rectangular wooden table, surrounded by 6 padded hardwood back chairs, and the fireplace on the left wall is the same as the foreign movies and TV series Klein has seen in the past.

“The back of the restaurant is the kitchen, but we don’t offer any utensils. The living room is opposite the small room and bathroom…” Skutt took the step and introduced the rest of the layout on the first floor.

The bathroom is divided into two inside and outside, the outside is the place for washing, the inside is the toilet, separated by a folding door, the room is said to be very small, but it is also the size of the compartment Melissa currently lives in, which makes her a little stunned.

After reading the first floor, Skutt led 3 people to the stairway beside the bathroom:

“There is a underground storage room. The air inside is very dull. Remember to ventilate before you go in.”

Benson quietly nodded, followed Skutt along the ladder to the second floor.

“I have a bathroom on my left hand side, and there are 2 bedrooms on the same side as me. The right hand side has the same structure, except that the bathroom is near the small balcony.”

While speaking, Skutt opened the door of the bathroom and leaned over the body, allowing Klein, Benson and Melissa to look at them without hindrance.

This bathroom has more bathtubs than the first floor. There are also folding doors next to the toilet. Although there is some dust, there are no other dirty places, no stench and no crowding.

Melissa looked stunned here, until Skutt walked to the bedroom next to her, and then she closed her eyes and slowly followed.

After a few steps, she looked back again.

Klein, who has seen the world, is also very happy and looking forward to this, because even if the landlord often supervises everyone’s cleaning, the public bathroom is still not clean enough, and often people have the urge to vomit, let alone when they are in a hurry. .

The rest room is the same as this one. The four bedrooms are only slightly larger, with bookshelves, and the rest are almost the same size, with beds, tables, and wardrobes.

“The balcony is small and you can’t dry too much clothes at a time.” Skutt stood at the end of the corridor, pointing to the place separated by a door and a lock. “There are also complete sewers, gas pipes and meters etc. The facilities are very suitable for gentlemen and young ladies like you to live. They only need 13shilling rent and 5p for furniture use per week, and all around deposit is required.”

Before waiting for Benson to speak, Klein looked around curiously:

“If you want to buy it, how many pounds does this house need?”

As a transmigrator of the big country of eating, the desire to buy a home is always in his heart.

Benson and Melissa were startled when they heard this question, they looked at Klein as if they were looking at a monster, Skutt replied firmly:

“Buy? No, we don’t sell real estate, we only offer rent.”

“I just want to know, understand? Look.” Klein embarrassed explained.

Skutt hesitated for a few seconds:

“Last month, the owner of 11 Narcissus Flower Street happened to have sold a similar house. With a lease term of 15 years, it was £300, which is much cheaper than direct rent, but not everyone can get it at once. For such a large sum of money, if you want to buy it completely, the homeowner’s price is 850 pounds.”

850 pound? Klein quickly started his mental arithmetic:

My weekly salary is 3 pounds, Benson is 1 pound 10 shilling …… The rent is 13 shilling, plus every day to eat well, it is about 2 pounds a week, apparel sharing, transportation costs, interpersonal expenses, etc. , Wait, at most a dozen shillings can be saved in a week, a year, about 35 pounds a year, 850 pounds takes about 20 years… Even if it is only 300 pounds in the form of a lease, it is at least eight-nine years… …This does not take into account things such as marriage, separation, childbirth, travel, etc. in the future…

In this World without personal housing loans, most people should only choose to rent a house…

With a clear comprehension, he took a step back and glanced at big brother Benson, instructing him to negotiate the price of the rent.

As for Melissa’s wishes, it will be clear to see her nephew!

At this moment, Klein had the illusion of “closing the door and putting Benson.”

Benson clicked on his cane without silver, and looked around:

“We should go see other houses again. The restaurant is poorly lit and the balcony is very small. You see, only the bedroom has a fireplace, and the furniture is too old. We have to change more than half of it …”

He quickly picked up a bunch of problems, and successfully persuaded Skutt with ten minutes of work, let him reduce the price to 12shilling rent, furniture use fee 3 pence level, and the deposit was rounded up to 2 Pound

No more wasting time, 3 siblings followed Skutt back to “Thengen House Improvement Company”, signed a two-fold contract, and went to the Thengen City notary office to find a notary for notarization.

After paying the deposit and the first week’s rent, the remaining money for Klein and Benson adds up to 9 pound 2shilling zero 8 pennies.

Standing at the door of 2 Narcissus Flower Street, they held a string of copper keys, and they couldn’t move their eyes and roll their emotions.

“It feels like a dream…” after a while, Melissa lifts the head, looking at the “Moretti family” afterwards, and said in a low voice.

Benson sighed ,said with a slight smile :

“then don’t wake up.”

Klein didn’t feel so touched, nodded:

“We have to replace the locks on the doors and balcony doors as soon as possible.”

“There is no need to worry, Thegen House Improvement Company has a very good reputation. The rest is the cost of your dress, but before that, we have to go to Mister Frank.” Benson pointed to the direction of the apartment.

…………

Going home and chewing on rye bread, the three siblings went to the townhouse on Iron Cross Street, knocking on the landlord’s door.

“You should know my principles, and absolutely should not allow rent arrears!” The short Mister Frank sat on the sofa and declared in an imposing manner.

Benson leaned forward and smiled opened the mouth and said :

“Mister Frank, we are here to rent out.”

So direct? Is this negotiation really good? Klein was amazed by the side.

On the way, Benson said that his bottom line is compensation for 12shilling.

“Unsubscribe? No! We have contracts, and half a year!” Frank glared at Benson and waved his arms.

Benson seriously looked at him and waited until he calmed down and said:

“Mister Frank, you should be very clear, you should earn quite a lot.”

“Make more money?” Frank asked, with a touch of his thin face, very interested.

Benson sat up straight and smiled and explained:

“2 bedrooms are rented to 3 of us, which is 5shilling 6p, but if you rent it to those families with 5 people, 6 people, and 2 or even 3 working, paying families, I think they are definitely willing to pay more for this, instead of going to a place with very poor security, such as 5shilling 10p, or 6shilling, which I think is a reasonable price.”

Seeing Frank’s eyes shining and his throat squirming, he continued:

“And, you know for sure, in recent years, rents for homes have been on the rise. The longer we live, the more you lose.”

“But… I need time to find new tenants. “Mister Frank, who inherited the estate and got the apartment, was clearly moved.

“I believe you will find it soon, you have this ability and resources, maybe 2 days, maybe 3 days… We will compensate you for this period of loss, just use the deposit we paid, 3shilling, which is very Be fair!” Benson immediately “finished.”

Frank is satisfied with nodded:

“Benson, you are a conscientious and honest youngster, okay, we sign ‘ending the contract’.”

Klein looked awkwardly and understood Mister Frank’s easy “convincing”.

This is too convincing…

To solve the problem of the previous contract, 3 siblings first bought formal clothes for Klein, and then started to move busy.

They did not at all heavy and huge items, and those belonged to the landlord, so Benson and Melissa jointly “dismissed” Klein’s idea of hiring a carriage, and went back and forth between Narcissus Flower Street and Iron Cross Street. Trip after trip.

Outside the window, the sun was slanting, and the golden color of the burning smell passed through the convex window and sprinkled on the surface of the desk. Klein looked at the books and notebooks placed on the shelf, and placed the ink and the pen gently. Clean table.

I was busy…he sighed, I felt the gu lu of my stomach, and put down the rolled cuffs and walked to the door.

He has a bed that belongs to him only, the sheets and quilts are white, old but clean,

Klein twisted the handle and walked out of the bedroom. Just before opening, he saw the 2 door simultaneously open opposite, revealing a silhouette of Benson and Melissa.

Look at the gray dust and dirty stains on each other’s faces, Klein and Benson suddenly laughed and laughed very quickly.

Melissa bit his lip and gradually became infected with them, whispering a smile.

…………

2nd day Early morning.

Klein stood in front of the mirror without a crack, carefully tidying up the collar and cuffs of the shirt.

This includes a white shirt, a black tuxedo, a half-high silk top hat, a black vest and pants, leather boots, and a bow tie. It cost him 8 pounds, which made him feel very distressed.

But the effect is also very good. Klein only feels that his scholarly flavor in the mirror is thicker and seems to be a little more handsome.

Pā tà !

He closed the pocket watch, put it in the inside pocket, then took the cane, hid the revolver, and arrived at Zoutlan Street on the public carriage.

As soon as he entered the “Black Thorns Security Company”, he realized that he was accustomed to the previous way of life. He didn’t give Melissa extra money this morning and allowed her to continue walking to school.

Shook the head, take note of this, Klein stepped into the “Black Thorns Security Company” and saw the brown hair girl Roseanne brewing coffee there, making it full of aroma.

“Good morning, Klein, the weather is good today.” Roseanne grinned and said, “To be honest, I have always been very strange. In this weather, do you guys wear formal clothes and don’t feel hot? I know that Theren’s summer can’t be Compared to the south, it is not hot enough, but it still belongs to summer.”

“This is the price of elegance.” Klein replied humorously, “Good morning, Roseanne Young Lady, Mr. Captain?”

“Old place.” Roseanne pointed to the inside.

Klein barely visible the dagger and knocked the door of the Dunn Smith office through the partition.

“come in.” Dunn’s voice and tone were as gentle as ever.

Seeing Klein really changed a nice suit, he was slightly nodded, and the ash contained with a smile:

“Do you think about it?”

Klein took a deep breath, solemnly replied:

“Yes, I have made a choice.”

Dunn sits up straight, his expression quickly becomes serious, and the gray pupils are savvy:

“Tell me your answer.”

Klein without the slightest hesitation

“Divinator !”
