Chapter 26 It was an old friend

"Brother, why is the rent so cheap for the second house?" Xiao Jinyan asked worriedly.

"It's a coincidence that I ran into an old friend from Wenzhou when I went out. They bought the house long ago in the capital, but it has been idle and no one lives in it. I went out to look for a house today and happened to meet. So I know She was looking for a house, and she rented it to us cheaply." Xiao Jinfeng was a little excited and excited.

Jin Chen and Jin Chun were also very happy to finally be able to leave this expensive inn.Seeing the vain money handed over for the past two days, the two brothers were so worried that they could barely eat.

"We haven't opened anything, so we don't need to pack it up tomorrow." Xiao Jinchen said happily.

Xiao Jinfeng smiled and nodded, "Everyone go to bed early tonight. We will go to the rented room tomorrow."

Everyone slept soundly that night.

The next morning, Xiao Jinyan and Xiao Jinfeng went to the counter to return the house, and then the four brothers rented a carriage and stopped in front of a small courtyard in the west of the city.

"It's here." Xiao Jinfeng said happily, pointing to the yard.

Xiao Jinyan looked at it along the way, and although this courtyard is in the west of the city, it is quite far away from the Fu family.This is great, and the two families don't have to meet each other.

The yard does have two entrances, but the place is not too big, and the room is not too big.Even such a small courtyard is extremely rare in the capital where every inch of land is expensive.

"Jinyan, you live in this room, Jinchun and Jinchen live next door, I just live in the wing." Xiao Jinfeng narrowed his eyes with a smile when he saw the small courtyard.

Xiao Jinyan is also very satisfied. If such a house is rented to others, it will cost at least 70 taels of silver a year.But the homeowner asked them for 30 taels, which can be said to be a timely help.

"Brother, have you signed an agreement with the other party?" Xiao Jinyan asked.

"I'll sign it later, anyway, the key has already been given to us in advance. She will definitely not regret it." Xiao Jinfeng's spirit returned, "I'll go and find out tomorrow to see if I can find a college to study in, and I will arrange it when I am free. A stall to help people write letters to earn some money."

It was rare to see him cheer up, Xiao Jinyan was really happy for him from the bottom of her heart.

The four brothers and sisters quickly packed up their things. One reason was that the furniture in the yard was ready-made, and the other reason was that their clothes and bedding didn't add up to much.

"I'll go out and buy some firewood, rice, oil and salt later." Xiao Jinfeng said.

Xiao Jinyan nodded, "I've checked, everything in the kitchen is complete, including bowls and chopsticks, so we don't need to buy more."

After the hour passed, Xiao Jinyan finally saw the owner of the house.

The moment she saw the homeowner, she was slightly startled.Xiao Jinyan always thought that the old man Xiao Jinfeng was talking about was a man, but what she didn't expect was that it was a girl who came with a girl and a mother-in-law.

"Miss Wu." As soon as Xiao Jinfeng saw them, he immediately stood up and bowed respectfully, his gratitude faintly revealed.

Xiao Jinyan was also looking at the woman quietly, and saw that she was wrapped in a pale pink dress and covered with a white gauze, revealing a graceful neck and clearly visible collarbone. More graceful and soft, three thousand blue silks are tied up with hair bands, a butterfly hairpin is inserted in the head, and a strand of blue silk hangs on the chest, thinly applied with powder, which only adds color, and the faint feeling of red leaves on the cheeks creates a petal-like beauty. Delicate and lovely, the whole person is like a butterfly fluttering in the wind, she is a beauty.

The owner is such a beauty!Xiao Jinyan was very surprised by this.

"Young Master Xiao." The woman spoke nicely, "These must be Young Master Xiao's younger brothers?"

"Yes, they are all my younger brothers." Xiao Jinfeng replied politely. "Thank you, Ms. Wu, for renting the house to us, which solved our urgent need. But, the agreement on renting the house?"

"I'm ready, Mr. Xiao, take a look. If there is no objection, just press your fingerprint." Miss Wu turned to look at the woman behind her.

The mother-in-law immediately took out two pieces of paper, took out another printing box and opened it.

After Xiao Jinfeng read it carefully, he put his fingerprint on the paper and returned one of them, "You guys keep this one safe."

He handed another one to Xiao Jinyan for safekeeping.

Xiao Jinyan took a look at the agreement and found nothing wrong.Therefore, the agreement was also put away.

"Forgive me for taking the liberty to ask Miss, when did you meet my elder brother?" Xiao Jinyan asked with a faint smile.

"Jin Yan." Xiao Jinfeng glanced at her unhappily, with a hint of reproach in his tone.

Of course Xiao Jinyan knew that her question was impolite, but she was really curious.She never believed that there was such a good thing as pie in the sky. This woman was dressed gorgeously. If there was no special reason, how could Xiao Jinfeng, a bookworm, get to know such a beauty?

"Speaking of which, it should be considered that I know Mr. Xiao, and Mr. Xiao didn't know me before." Unexpectedly, Ms. Wu was not angry because of her rudeness, and explained a few words with a smile, "My surname is Wu, and my father lives in Wenzhou. Doing food business. The poetry meeting held in Wenzhou a few years ago was funded by my father and brother. My daughter only got to know Mr. Xiao through two poetry meetings."

When the other party mentioned the poetry meeting, Xiao Jinyan suddenly realized.

In her memory, she seemed to vaguely remember that the nerd brother had won first place in poetry competitions twice.

Xiao Jinfeng studied in Wenzhou for several years and is also a well-known talent.

"I see. I was paranoid. I'm really sorry." When Xiao Jinyan realized that Miss Wu was a die-hard fan of Xiao Jinfeng, her attitude immediately became enthusiastic.

"No problem." Miss Wu blushed, "Did Mr. Xiao also come to the capital to avoid the plague?"

"Plague? Did a plague really happen in Jiangnan?" Xiao Jinchen was taken aback.

Xiao Jinfeng was even more nervous, Jiangnan had his classmates and friends, his mentor, and even the people from the old house. "Is the plague serious?"

"I heard that it was quite serious. When I came out, the plague had not yet broken out, but a few days ago I received a letter saying that the plague was quite serious. The emperor has sent a group of imperial physicians from the imperial hospital." Miss Wu replied.

After Xiao Jinchen finished listening, he suddenly became worried.

And Xiao Jinyan and Xiao Jinchen secretly rejoiced that they came out early, otherwise, powerless little people like them would have to resign themselves to their fate if they really encountered the plague.

Upon hearing this, the four of them made up their minds that they could not return to Jiangnan for the time being.

"You don't have to worry about staying here. I'll leave first. If you need anything, just go to the courtyard of Wu's house in the back street to find Xiaolu." After the chat, Ms. Wu stood up and took the initiative to say goodbye.

Xiao Jinfeng gratefully sent their master and servant out.

"Okay, we'll have a home in the future." Xiao Jinyan said with a smile, "Hurry up and buy some daily necessities, otherwise, we won't even have lunch."

"I don't know how grandpa and the others are doing?" Xiao Jinfeng looked into the distance worriedly, and began to lose his mind again.

"It's useless for you to worry about it now. Since eldest brother left a letter for second uncle in advance, second uncle is not stupid, so he must take them away." Xiao Jinyan secretly rolled her eyes.In the old house, she really didn't have much affection for those people.

"Starting tomorrow, I'll go out and find something to do." Xiao Jinchen said in a muffled voice.

"No, you are young, take Jinchun at home, and I will go out to find work." Xiao Jinyan objected.

"You all stay at home, I can go out and do things alone." Xiao Jinfeng said seriously, "You are all young, even if you go out, no one will ask you."
