Su Zheng showed his skill. The Gu family looked at Su Zheng in amazement. Only Mr. Gu was wondering, would someone else touch him if he had such a skill?
He doesn't understand.
The Gu family marveled at Su Zheng's skill, but Tianbao's eyes flashed slightly after looking at this move, and his eyelids were half-closed to cover the disappointment in his eyes.
Su Zheng took the Gu family to that house. According to the request of taking care of the old man, Su Zheng deliberately looked for a few houses closer to the college.
These houses were all bought by wealthy families in their courtyards. They were left idle with grass growing on them. It would be better to rent them out. Someone would take care of the house, and they would get some money every month, which would be quite satisfying.
The first house that the Gu family went to with Su Zheng was the one closest to Yixuan Academy, one of the four major academies. After walking out of the courtyard gate and walking half an alley, they reached the academy after turning a corner.
Su Zheng introduced that the owner of this courtyard was an official family, and it was said that it was the private property of a certain lady. Because she was too young to take care of it, she rented the courtyard out to students from Yixuan Academy.
Su Zheng took out this courtyard first because it was a spacious courtyard with four entrances and four exits. Few students from Yixuan Academy can afford to rent, and young masters from wealthy families will buy a mansion early and will not condescend to rent a house. This is also the reason why this mansion has not been rented out yet.
He recommended it to Mr. Gu with the attitude of giving it a try. Although he didn't know which academy Mr. Gu's son was in, but what if.
Mr. Gu looked at the courtyard in front of him and was extremely satisfied. The courtyard has a sense of familiarity, even though it is small but has all the internal organs of a sparrow.
"Brother Su, how much is the rent for this yard?"
Mr. Gu took a fancy to this house and immediately asked Su Zheng how much the rent was. But after hearing this, Su Zheng showed a hint of embarrassment and didn't say a word. When the old man saw it, he understood a little bit and asked another tentative question.
"Is it possible that someone rented it?" When thinking of this possibility, Mr. Gu felt slightly uncomfortable, so he continued to ask: "Or is it not rented?"
Apart from these two reasons, Mr. Gu could not think of any other questions. .
Su Zheng, on the other hand, had a hint of amusement on his face after hearing this. He was afraid that Mr. Gu might misunderstand, so he quickly said: "Brother Gu, that's not the reason. It's because the head of the household Zeng Yanming said that he would rent this courtyard to the students of Yixuan Academy."
When Mr. Gu heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief. He thought the house was rented.
He waved his hand carelessly, and the old god said seriously: "It doesn't matter, I'm at Yixuan Academy."
When Su Zheng heard this, the smile on his face became deeper and deeper. He knew that his bet was a win. , immediately took Mr. Gu to apply for the rental contract.
Tianbao followed Mr. Gu and asked in a low voice on the way if the house could be sold. Su Zheng was stunned for a moment, thought for a while and whispered back: "The owner has never made it clear. If we get the news in the future, I'll tell you."
Tianbao nodded, looking like a little adult, with his little chubby hands behind his back, and followed Mr. Gu in a casual manner. Such a calm and leisurely look made Su Zheng feel a little better. Do you doubt what you just said?
Soon, Mr. Gu held the just-signed contract in his hand. He would go to the government office to register later, and then he rented this courtyard. The monthly rent was twenty taels, and every part of the courtyard must be taken care of and there must be no damage. , if any items are damaged, they must pay equivalent compensation, and these old men Gu also readily agreed. After all, they are renting a house, and they are not specifically destroying it.
After the house was rented, Su Zheng also handed over the keys. During this period, Mr. Gu wanted to invite someone to have a meal with him, but Su Zheng was busy with work and regretfully refused. He said that he would come to the house in person tomorrow, so Mr. Gu let him go. .
Until after he left, Mr. Gu was praising Su Zheng's character, until Mrs. Gu couldn't stand it anymore and pulled him aside.
"Now that the house has been settled, you go and call the fourth child back tomorrow." After coming here for so many days, she didn't even see her son. She thought in a panic, but she could see the expression on Mr. Gu's face, which seemed a bit unwilling. illusion.
Mrs. Gu frowned and asked quietly: "Is it possible that you don't want to go?" Then let Lao Qi go.
Old Mrs. Gu did not dwell on the matter, and immediately turned around to find Gu Lao Qi. On the side, Mr. Gu looked at Old Mrs. Gu who turned around with fear. She was a little confused for a moment, and after quickly pulling her back, she hurriedly spoke. : "I'll go tomorrow."
Tianbao on the side sighed helplessly. Since she grew up, she has sighed almost every day. After all, she has endured too much and she shouldn't have to endure it at her age. s things.
He shook his head, not wanting to get involved in the old couple's affairs, so he turned around and strolled around the yard leisurely.
The mansion has four entrances and four exits, and a garden. The space is quite large. There are two rows of servants' rooms behind the main house, which is quite comprehensive.
This also reminds Tianbao that he needs to buy a few servants to take care of his fourth brother. He doesn't need too many, a cook, a few cleaning boys, a steward, and a book boy. She didn't know what the academy was like here in Fucheng, but she knew that people had looked at people with snobbery since ancient times. Since she had the ability to create something better for her fourth brother, why didn't she do it?
The answer is inevitable. The money in her hand is enough for her family to live a better life, but if she uses it to do business, it is far from enough. For that mine alone, with this little money, there is no way to exploit it. ?
Small money is also money, and now she wants to accumulate it into a big sum.
Gu Yan, who was not far from Tianbao, kept staring at Tianbao who was distracted. Seeing that the chubby body was about to hit the stone pillar on the side, Gu Yan who was following behind quickly ran forward and hugged Tianbao. With a full heart, he avoided the tragic accident of the little fat body hitting the stone pillar.
When Tianbao was scooped into someone's arms, he noticed the stone pillar not far away in front of him. He felt frightened for a while and quickly turned to look at his sixth sister. With a miserable expression on his face, he said crisply: "Sixth sister, Fortunately you are here, otherwise Tianbao would be flat."
Gu Yan failed to understand Tianbao's meaning and asked again: "What's flat?"
Tianbao's little mouth was flat, and then he continued: "No. Tianbao is said to be round, but if it hits a pillar, it will become flat!" Even if it is not flat, it will still be very painful if it hits the wall with a bang! In particular, it is white and tender, just like a piece of white tofu.
"Pfft." Gu Yan burst out laughing. She didn't know that her little sister could speak so quickly, which really made her even more lovable.
"Sixth sister!" Tianbao laughed out loud when she saw that Gu Yan did not comfort her, and shouted anxiously into Gu Yan's arms. The tips of her ears were a little red, and she buried her face in Gu Yan's face shyly. Between the neck, after all, this is the first time for such a big person.
