Dressed as a farmer's little blessing, the road to escape the deserted

The carriage traveled all the way through the streets and alleys, and arrived at Ping'an Lane in the south of the city. There was a small teahouse at the entrance of the alley.

A thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy was looking around at the door of the teahouse. When he saw Jiaren jumping out of the carriage, he smiled and stepped forward to pat him.

"I thought I could only see you when I went to the academy, but I didn't expect you to come here first, but why didn't you go to my house? You left in a hurry that day, but something happened at home?"

This boy is Lei Bolin, a good friend of Jiaren's dormitory. He is naturally optimistic and cheerful. He often eats and drinks with Jiaren on weekdays, and gets along very close.

But Jiaren can't say that his mother passed away, after all, there are too many things involved, and he can't tell for a while.

He laughed and said: "School will start soon, and then we will catch up on the old days. I need your help today!"

Jiaren responded with a smile, and before Lei Bolin could ask any more questions, Er Er Li and Mr. Wen also got off the carriage.

Jiaren hurriedly introduced him. Hearing that one of them was Jiaren's father and the other was Jiaren's teacher, Lei Bolin hurriedly saluted.

Li Lao Er smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "Sir, Jiaren said that your uncle is a middle-aged man and has a lot of good yards in his hands. We will take the liberty to come and disturb you today!"

"Uncle, you are welcome. My Tong Jiaren is a classmate and good friend. You can just call me Bolin." Lei Bolin saluted again, and when he finally talked about his uncle, his face became a little more proud, "My uncle is indeed our uncle. This area in the south of the city is the best middleman, and the neighbors in the nearby villages are willing to ask him for help."

Speaking of it, the middleman is the intermediary for buying and selling houses.

Lei Bolin was studying in the academy, and his status was noble, but he didn't have any dislike for this low-ranking uncle. He was really sensible and reasonable.

Li Laoer and Mr. Wen looked at each other, and they were very satisfied with Jiaren as a good friend.

Soon, Lei Bolin led them to an alley behind the teahouse.

The alley was very clean. There were three houses on each side of Qingshi Road. There were stones at the door of each house, which were very smooth. It was obvious that many people sat here and chatted on weekdays.

At the end of the alley, in a small courtyard facing south, Lei Bailin's uncle Sun Fu's family lived.

Hearing that Mr. Li and the others were classmates and family members of his nephew, Sun Fu was very enthusiastic, and hurriedly called everyone into the house for tea and snacks, almost bursting into smiles.

He has eaten more salt than his nephew for decades, so his vision is naturally too "poisonous".

Although the clothes worn by Mr. Li and Mr. Wen are not satin, the fabrics are excellent and the workmanship is fine. They are definitely not ordinary people.

He secretly made up his mind to help out today, not to embarrass his nephew, maybe he can make friends with noble people, which will be convenient for everyone in the future.

Hearing that Mr. Li wanted to find a small courtyard, it didn’t have to be too big but it needed more houses and friendly neighbors, preferably closer to the east of the city, and he became more determined in his mind.

Because the city of Kyoto chose Weizhou Prefecture as its new capital, the big reason is that Weizhou Prefecture has a palace.

During the time of Emperor Xian, he went to the south of the Yangtze River for inspections, and stayed here for a long time. The palace was built very exquisitely, completely in the style of a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, directly occupying the entire east of the city.

Or strictly speaking, the Weizhou Mansion back then was only as big as the north of the city, because a palace was built in the southeast, and the people gradually settled together, so the south of the city and the west of the city were formed, and finally evolved into what it is today.

The Li family wanted to buy a yard, but it needed to be closer to the east of the city, which meant that someone in the Li family would often enter the palace, at least six yamen.

Such golden thighs are so rare, don't worry about anything, just hug them first.

"Second Master Li, Mr. Wen, it's such a coincidence that you two came here. We plan to sell the yard opposite us recently. The owner is old and has no children. He plans to go to his nephew. We are old neighbors for many years. Even if we get along well, the owner is reluctant to leave for a while. If the second master thinks our alley is good, I will immediately go to help and ask, how is it?"

Before Li's second son could speak, Lei Bolin had already pulled Jiaren's arm, and shouted joyfully, "Haha, Jiaren, we will be neighbors from now on. The academy is on holiday, so we can come back together."

Jiaren also laughed, but said: "My family bought a yard so that I can settle in for my exams in the future. I'm afraid I won't be able to live here for the next two years."

Lei Bolin was a little disappointed, but fortunately Jiaren said again: "But in the past two years, I will come here often."

Only then did Lei Bolin feel happy again, and talked about where there is fun nearby, and which restaurant has delicious food.

Hearing this, Sun Fu sighed inwardly. He usually looked at his nephew very well, but compared to the young man of the Li family, he was still far behind.

At least no one is prudent, no one is thorough.

Li Lao Er thought for a while before picking up Mr. Wen. It took only a quarter of an hour to get here by carriage.

Moreover, this alley is quiet amidst the hustle and bustle, it is easy to get in and out, and the neighbors are not bad. It should not be easy to find such a place again.

He made up his mind and asked Sun Fu to ask for help.

As a result, after a while, Sun Fu came back smiling and took them to see the yard.

The old couple who sold the yard liked scholars the most. When they heard that the little gentleman from Luo'an Academy wanted to buy the yard, they immediately agreed.

At this moment, the two warmly greeted everyone to wander around the yard.

In front of the yard are two facades, rented to a young couple to open a grocery store, but the store is not connected to the backyard, which guarantees the privacy of the two parties.

There are three main rooms in the courtyard, and two east and west wing rooms. The side rooms can be used as warehouses and kitchens.

There is a moon gate on the left side of the main room leading to the small garden at the back. A well was dug in the corner, some flowers and plants were planted, and the back door was opened for daily access.

Li Laoer took a fancy to it almost immediately.

There are enough rooms, and the family has a place to live when they come over. The front shop will be taken back later, so it is convenient for the family to open a small business.

The old couple were familiar with Sun Fu, and after the second brother Li also promised to take good care of the yard where they had lived for half their life, they offered a price of 550 taels.

This price is much more expensive than before.

But now that this is a new capital, too many people are suddenly crowded in, and the housing prices are rising, and the price is very reasonable.

Li's second son had settled down at that time, and even took advantage of the fact that the Yamen was not on business, he went directly to change gears and wrote the house deed under Jiaren's name.

Before dusk covers the entire city, this small courtyard belongs to Jiaren.

Lei Bailin was speechless with envy, and clamored for Jiaren to treat them to delicious food, which made everyone laugh.

The old couple had to pack their things, so they asked Li Jia to let them stay for one more day.

Of course Li Er Er agreed, and told them to clean up slowly, but Mr. Wen wanted to live in immediately so that he could go to court tomorrow.

The old couple didn't expect Mr. Wen, who had always been quiet and easy-going, to be the censor of the dynasty. They were so surprised that they hurriedly tidied up the wing room and helped Mr. Wen settle down first.

Mr. Wen didn't refuse, and he didn't even say a few polite words to Mr. Li.

Earlier, when he got off the carriage, Li Laoer said he wanted to buy a yard and prepare Jiaren for the exam later, so he guessed it was an excuse.

In fact, the Li family bought the yard just to give him a place to stay.

If he refuses, won't that ruin the Li family's support for him? !

You know, his own parents were not like this, but the Li family did it, how precious it is to him.

It is better to keep a million words of thanks in mind, the future will last longer, and the gratitude will come slowly.

From now on, the Li family will be his second home...
