After death, I became the cannon fodder of the three protagonists

Chapter 263
The clerk quickly rolled the copper coins towards himself with one hand, and put the other hand on the edge of the table. After putting it away, he quickly swept over Xie Wenci and his party, and he already had a plan in mind.

"Thank you, Juren, you are too polite, this small place really has a good place, but it is not an inn, but a small courtyard.

It was originally intended to be used by scholars who were going to take the exam, but because it was a bit secluded, it was not rented out. If you want, can someone take you to take a look at the small one?
It's secluded there, but it's full of things inside, and it's on the edge of the lake around the city, and you can buy vegetables in two alleys..."

The quiet here does not mean quiet, but means that the place where the exam is located is far away, and there are no shops nearby.

The students who came here for the exam want to live in a quiet place so that they can concentrate on studying, but they can't be too far away from the exam room.

It's too far away, the family is poorer, they scrape together money to rent a yard to live in, and they have to get up to make sure things are packed properly.

It's like bringing thick clothes to avoid cooling down. If you don't have thick clothes to catch cold, it will affect the exam.

You have to prepare enough dry food and water for nine days.

After all, apart from lighting candles, pens, inks, papers and inkstones, there is nothing else in the dormitory of the examination room.

And after packing up, he went out with a heavy basket, walked for a long time, only to see the stall, had a quick breakfast, and walked for a long time to the examination room.

After a lot of tossing, the whole person will be more or less affected when he arrives at the examination room.

As for the richer families, firstly, their homes have been arranged early, and secondly, they don't like such a yard. Living in such a remote place, they are not as comfortable as those who live in an inn.

After going back and forth, the yard actually stayed.

Xie Wenci is already a candidate, so the provincial examination naturally has nothing to do with him. In addition, considering that Xie's mother has not had a good rest in the carriage for the past two days, it would be nice if the courtyard is quieter.

There are still a few days until the township test starts, and if you want to live in the inn, you won't be so clean.

But he didn't agree directly, but looked at Su Mo and asked for her opinion, "Madam Gu, what do you think?"

Su Mo has no objections, the hospital is pretty good, and if the people in Yaozhou are not used to eating, they can let Gu Qinhan cook.

She nodded slightly, and said with a slight smile, "Master Xie is in charge."

Now that Su Mo said so, Xie Wenci asked the clerk to find someone to take him to have a look. If it works, he will rent it. If not, the two families don't have to live in the same inn.

The man saw that there was a chance to sell in this tricky yard, so he hurried to the door and recruited a little beggar.

"Panzi, go and invite your Grandpa Zhao here, and say that there is a master who wants to see his yard."

The beggars in this street are the messengers who help the inn boys.

On weekdays, he waits by the side of various inns, and goes to do errands when he is ordered, and begs with a bowl if he is not ordered. If he is lucky, he will be rewarded with a few copper coins.

At night, as soon as the curfew came, they went to the alley behind.

In the deepest part of the alley, there are many old yards that have not been sold. The land deeds are all in the hands of Grandpa Zhao, who the guy said, and they help out with errands, so Old Man Zhao let them live there.

As for food, the clerks of each inn will deliver the unfinished meals to the guests after the restaurant.

They are beggars, not picky.

After Bingzi got the order, she hurriedly responded, and Sa Yazi ran towards Old Man Zhao's residence. After a while, he invited him over.

The man had already gone to the kitchen to get a steamed bun, and hid it in his arms. When the pancake came back, he secretly took out the steamed bun, "Take it and eat it."

Pancake took the steamed bun, bowed his head and bowed his thanks, and then returned to his seat, divided the steamed bun into half with his companions, and ate it voraciously.

He was still a half-grown kid, just growing tall, and when he was hungry quickly, his stomach was empty after a while.

Old man Zhao is only in his 40s, but he is already a great-grandfather. His grandson got married last year and just gave birth to a boy this year.

Old man Zhao was a straightforward person, he whispered a few words to the clerk, then looked at Xie Wenci, and bowed his hands.

"The yard is a bit far away, Master Juren will wait a moment, and this old man will call for a sedan chair."

Xie Wenci nodded in response. After all, it is still uncertain whether he can settle down, and he can't let his old lady run around with him.

"sorry to bother you."

"Master Juren is being polite."

Old man Zhao couldn't bear it, he was just a fangzi, his ancestors were ordinary people for eight generations, not to mention three generations, in this dynasty where everything was low-class, only high-education, he treated people with the same respect as officials.

Old man Zhao quickly summoned two sedan chairs, Xie Wenci said a few words to Su Mo and Xie Mu, then got on the sedan chairs, and when he came back, more than half an hour had passed.

In this way, the location of the small courtyard is indeed a bit far away.

"The yard looks good to me. There are six bedrooms in total. The bedding inside is complete, and the kitchen is also fully equipped. There is a well not far from the yard, and it is convenient to use water. The east side of the yard is next to the lake around the city. Open the windows. You can also see the painted boats on the lake in the distance.”

That is, the boat is quite far away, and you can see the lively scene, but you can't hear any sound.

Xie Wenci didn't say this, and there was nothing to say mainly. The guy had already said it before, and the courtyard was quite secluded.

The yard Xie Wenci described sounds really good. Su Mo nodded in satisfaction, but did not respond directly. Instead, he asked, "Let's go back after the moon worship festival. Is it okay to rent it for half a month?"

Old man Zhao hurried forward, "Madam, don't worry, you can rent our yard whatever you want."

They also know how to be flexible.

"Then the rent?"

Old man Zhao is not sloppy when it comes to business, and he doesn't say anything to make it cheaper for Mr. Juren. He is a middleman, and if he takes hard-earned money, if it is cheaper to make decisions here, he has to make up for it.

"You're renting for half a month. Let's count it as half a month. Although the yard is remote, everything inside is complete. The normal monthly rent is 12 taels of silver. You can count it as six taels of silver."

This price is already considered cheap in Yaozhou Prefecture. If it is a yard near the inn, the price will be doubled.

Su Mo looked at Xie Wenci and saw him nodding, so he didn't say anything.

The old man Zhao knew it was done at a glance, his face was full of smiles, he had already asked someone to prepare a carriage, and now he said quickly: "My lord, the old man has already prepared a carriage, do you think it will be over now?"

Xie Wenci nodded slightly, walked to Xie's mother, took the burden from He Nier, and said softly to Xie's mother: "Mother, let's go."

Su Mo also walked to Gu Qinhan's side, and Gu Xingnian was hugged by Gu Qinhan, so she asked Gu Ping'an and Gu Jinnian to follow.

At first, old man Zhao thought that the wife who was talking to him was the wife of the master Juren, but after looking at it later, he realized that he had misunderstood.

He scratched his head, thinking that he had already prepared a carriage, and he could sit in it, but this is not a family...

This matter was handled, old man Zhao sighed, and hurriedly followed.
