Another World's Imperial Examination Official Path

Chapter 255 Renting a House

"Father, Chu Zhuang will take the imperial examination next year, and his talent and learning will not be able to be concealed at that time. Let's start as soon as possible and settle the marriage between Chu Zhuang and Mengxi." Yun Hong looked at Yun Ting Feng said.

If everyone knows that there is such a number one person as Chu Zhuang, then there may be more side issues.

Yun Tingfeng narrowed his eyes, pondered for a while, and said: "This matter is not urgent. If he really likes Mengxi, he will definitely not be swayed by these temptations from the outside world."

Yun Tingfeng didn't want to make a hasty decision on whether it was a matter of Yunmengxi's life or not.

Seeing that Yunhong and Yun Zhanfei wanted to continue persuading, Yun Tingfeng waved his hand to stop him and said, "Let's talk about this matter after I see Chu Zhuang!"

"Why didn't he come to Yunfu with you?" Yun Tingfeng asked here, suddenly remembering.

"Chu Zhuang said that in order to show respect, after they settle down, they will hand over the greeting card and formally visit." Yun Hong said with a slight sigh.

"Yeah, he really has a heart." Yun Tingfeng nodded slightly, feeling a little satisfied in his heart.

Such a character can consider Yunmengxi so comprehensively and thoughtfully, which shows that he really has Yunmengxi in his heart.

Yunhong pursed his lips tightly, hesitant to speak.

Yun Tingfeng glanced at Yun Hong, lowered his eyes, and then said after a pause: "Zhan Fei, go down and rest first."

"Yes, father."

After Yun Zhanfei left the study, only the two of them were left in the room, Yun Tingfeng looked at Yun Hong and asked, "Hong'er, why are you so anxious to marry Mengxi to Chu Zhuang?"

He did not ignore the urgency in Yunhong's eyes.

Seeing that Yun Tingfeng had seen through him, Yun Hong sighed, his eyes filled with sorrow, and said, "Uncle, don't forget, I will be twenty next year, it's about time..."

Looking at the people coming and going in the inn, Chu Zhuang frowned slightly.

They will live in Dongfeng Mansion for a long time, and it is not enough to live in Kezhao.

Especially for three children, it is better to rent a house or simply buy a house to live in.

After the meal, Chu Zhuang approached Xue Qing and brought up the matter.

"It's really not good to live in the inn all the time. It's just that we are new here and we are not familiar with this Dongfeng Mansion. Where should we go to find a house?" Xue Qing nodded, looked at Chu Zhuang after thinking for a while and asked.

"It doesn't matter. I'll let Xiao Er find a dentist to show us the house."

Chu Zhuang also has experience in renting a house, so he is familiar with it.

"Then leave it to Mr. Chu to decide." Xue Qing nodded upon seeing this.

"Dali, go and call Xiaoer over." Chu Zhuang looked at Bai Dali and ordered.

"Yes, sir."

Bai Dali quickly brought Xiao Er over.

"My lord, what are your orders?" Xiao Er looked at Chu Zhuang attentively and asked.

Chuzhuang and the others were brought over by Yun Zhanfei and Yunhong, Xiao Er naturally did not dare to neglect them.

"Looking for some news from you."

Chu Zhuang took a look at Bai Dali, and Bai Dali understood that he gave Xiao Er a silver coin.

Xiaoer looked at the silver coin and immediately smiled, and said happily: "Young master, just ask, if you know it, you will know everything, and you can talk endlessly!"

Chu Zhuang smiled, this is indeed the second child in Dongfeng Mansion, and he has a sharp tongue.

"Do you know anyone who is reliable? I want to rent a house in Dongfeng Mansion, but I don't know who to turn to." Chu Zhuang directly stated his request.

"Dentist?" Xiao Er was taken aback for a moment, then quickly came back to his senses, and said with a smile, "Young master, you are asking the right person for this question. My brother's own brother works as a dentist in the dental shop. Do you want to know?" If you want to rent a room, the kid will call brother over immediately."

Chu Zhuang took a look at Xiao Er, who did not avoid relatives, nodded and said: "Well, you can ask him to come over."

Xiao Er brought a thin and frail man over after only a stick of incense. The two people's eyebrows and eyes were exactly the same, and they could be confirmed as brothers at a glance.

After some courteous inquiries, Zheng Xi got into the subject and asked directly: "My lord, do you want to rent a house?"

Chu Zhuang thought for a while and said, "Well, let's take a look first."

Zheng Xi took out a piece of parchment from his arms, which recorded the area he was in charge of. He spread the parchment on the table and introduced it to Chu Zhuang in detail.

"Is the young master here to rush for the exam? The boy suggested that you live near the Imperial College. It will be more convenient for you to take the exam then, and the people living here are all scholars, and the environment is also good."

Zheng Xi paused and said, "It's just that the houses near the Imperial College have always been in high demand, so the price is a bit high."

Zheng Xi simply mentioned this, and his younger brother had already mentioned it when he came. This is a noble person, so it is not short of money to come here.

Chu Zhuang secretly memorized the lot on the parchment, nodded and asked, "What kind of house is there here?"

But he is not short of money, if the place is good and he can live comfortably, he doesn't mind spending more money on housing.

Zheng Xi introduced it in detail.

Chu Zhuang listened, looked at Xue Qing and asked, "Doctor Xue, do you like anything?"

"Master Chu, you can decide."

Xue Yu waved his hand. He doesn't know how to choose a house. Hearing what Zheng Xi said, his head grew dizzy.

Chu Zhuang didn't force himself, pointing to a small second-floor house and said, "Take me here to have a look."

"My lord, you have really good eyesight!"

Seeing the house that Chu Zhuang pointed out, Zheng Xi was suddenly surprised. This house can be said to be the best house in his hands. Whether it is the geographical location or the surrounding environment, it is first-class. good.

But the house has also been neglected.

Without it, the house rent is too expensive

One month's rent is as much as ten gold coins!

Generally, people who come to rent a house are scholars who are rushing to take exams in other places. Even if they are from a wealthy family, it is impossible to rent a house at such a high price.

Moreover, this house has two floors, with a total of eight rooms. It is not big, but it is definitely not small.

Ordinary people don't need so many rooms, and if they rent with others, they are afraid that it will be too noisy and delay their preparation for the exam, so this house was put on hold.

A group of people went to look at the house in a mighty way.

Bai Xuan, Guo Wen and Guo Wu excitedly ran around in the yard. Chu Zhuang asked Xiaowu Xiaoliu to follow them, and Bai Dali to inquire about the conditions of the neighbors, and then began to inspect the house.

If this house is rented, at least he will have to live in it for a long time, so naturally he has to check it out.

The house faces south, and the location is good. In addition to the small two-story house, there are also a front yard and a back yard. The front yard is relatively barren, and the flowers and plants inside have been transplanted away. There are a few fruit trees planted in the back yard, and there is also a well. .

The whole yard adds up to about five or six hundred square meters, nearly one mu of land.

"Not bad!"

Chu Zhuang walked around and checked everything inside and out, and found nothing wrong, so he nodded secretly, and his mind was clear.

Although the price is a bit expensive, but in order to live comfortably, Chuzhuang is still willing to spend this money.

"Xuanxuan, Xiaowen, Xiaowu, come here."

Chu Zhuang waved at the three children playing in the front yard.

"Brother Zhuang!"

"Brother Chu!"

The three ran over excitedly holding hands, and hugged Chu Zhuang's thigh.

"Do you like it here?" Chu Zhuang asked with a smile as he wiped their sweat with a handkerchief.

"Hmm, I like it!"

The three said in unison, this place is much more fun than the inn!

Chu Zhuang smiled and shook his head, looked at Xue Qing and asked, "Doctor Xue, how about we stay here?"

Xue Qing frowned, looked at Zheng Xi who was at the side, pulled Chu Zhuang and asked in a low voice: "Young Master Chu, is this place too expensive?

Ten gold coins are required for a month, wouldn't it cost hundreds of gold coins to live in that year?

This is too extravagant.

Of course Chuzhuang knows that the price is expensive, but this location is equivalent to renting a Xiaobie S in the third ring area of ​​Beijing. Ten gold coins can only be regarded as the normal price.

Of course, they can also live farther away, but the time it takes to travel and the convenience of news are not concentrated here.

If they change to a smaller room, they won't be able to accommodate so many people.

So weighing the pros and cons, there is really nothing to pick here except that the price is a bit more expensive.

"Renting a house here does cost this price, and this guy didn't trick us."

Chu Zhuang had asked Bai Dali to inquire about the surrounding situation just now. All the people living around are scholars, the environment is very quiet, and the price is indeed the same.

It's just that this house is considered to be a relatively large house nearby, so the price is naturally responsible.

"Why don't I bring Guo Wen and Guo Wu to live in a remote place? Then, Mr. Chu, you can rent a smaller house..." Xue Qing naturally knew that Chu Zhuang decided to rent this place because of their large number of people.

"Doctor Xue, Xiaowen and Xiaowu are studying with me. How can you continue to study when you take them away?" Chu Zhuang patted Doctor Xue on the shoulder and said, "You, don't worry too much. If you don’t lack these few gold coins, you only need to consider whether you can live comfortably, and I will do the rest!”

Xue Yu sighed slightly. There was really no way to refute Chu Zhuang's proposal to read to Guo Wen and Guo Wu. After thinking about it, he nodded and agreed: "Okay!"

Seeing this, Chu Zhuang smiled, looked at Zheng Xi and said, "I've taken a fancy to this house, when can I sign the contract?" Tomorrow the owner will be notified, and then you and the owner will go to the dental office together, my lord. Once you sign the deed, you can move into the house. "Zheng Xi said immediately.

This house has been in his hands for a long time, and he has no hope of renting it out. Who would have thought that Chu Zhuang would suddenly appear

Yes, with a family of young and old, just suitable for living.

"Um"

Chu Zhuang nodded slightly, and said, "Then M will come to the inn to find me again."
