Meishan Su family, Su Yun is the most virtuous

Chapter 115: Meeting an old friend in a foreign land? (Still 5K, completed per day!)
The two of them searched the alley for a yard without a sign.

In fact, it is best to go to the government-run house agency when looking for a house, but the agency will charge an agency fee, and some are second-hand landlords, who may also increase the rent themselves.

Although it is a bit troublesome and laborious to look for it yourself, you can save a lot of money, and you can directly see the quality of the yard and the surrounding environment.

The two searched around and found a yard that the landlord had listed for rent. They went in to ask and take a look at the environment.

But most of these courtyards are dilapidated, some have been in disrepair for a long time, the lighting is poor, and it is very humid. Su Yun feels uncomfortable even standing in them for a while, let alone living in them.

Su Yun does not have very high requirements for the environment. The temporary house does not require a large size, but the lighting and ventilation must be good. Living in a damp and dark place for a long time will definitely cause problems for one's health.

After much difficulty, he found a fairly good courtyard, but the landlord asked for an exorbitant rent of ten strings of coins a month.

Ah Hui was so angry that he started to curse loudly, but the landlord was not a good person either, and he cursed even more foully than Ah Hui.

The landlord was a native of Bian Jing. He had several courtyards at home and was very arrogant and proud. How could he have ever been scolded by anyone?

This person, Ah Hui, was obviously a country bumpkin, and yet he dared to disrespect him. He suddenly exploded and pointed at Ah Hui and cursed him over and over again.

Ah Hui was so angry that he was about to take action. The landlord sneered and shouted loudly, "There are outsiders bullying us! Hurry up and help us!"

Suddenly, five or six strong men rushed out of the alley and surrounded Su Yun and the other man with fierce looks.

A little head popped out from the corner of an alley, took a look, then his face suddenly changed and he quickly shrank back.

Ah Hui's face turned pale, but he was still stubborn and said, "Ah Yun, you go out first, I will deal with them."

The landlord sneered, "What? You still want to fight us, A-Hu?"

A sturdy man took off the shirt on his chest, revealing a tattoo of a green dragon with bared fangs and claws on his back and a tiger descending the mountain on his chest. He looked like a scoundrel at first glance.

The rest of the people also took off their clothes. Each of them had tattoos on their bodies, and they looked extremely terrifying.

Su Yun smiled and bowed to the landlord, saying, "My dear brother, it's a misunderstanding. We are just here to look at the house. I have a quick temper and I apologize for offending you."

The landlord laughed and said, "You didn't say anything just now. Now that you see that I have so many people, you are trying to act like a coward. Isn't it a little too late?"

Su Yun smiled and said, "No one is good at scolding others, and no one is good at fighting. You just quarreled, and you had the upper hand. I didn't help my brother to scold you, but I wanted to defuse the situation.

"Okay, okay, today it was just a misunderstanding. We apologize to you, can we just let it go?"

The landlord looked at Su Yun and said, "My brothers were resting peacefully at home, but you woke them up for no reason. You should at least show some appreciation, right?"

Su Yun hummed and said, "How about this, I'll give you a coin, can you take it and have some tea?"

Ah Hu laughed and said, "One tael of silver, do you think we are beggars? If this gets out, where will my reputation be?"

The landlord also laughed and said, "You are really a country bumpkin, you have no knowledge at all."

Su Yun smiled and was not angry. He said, "What about what you two said?"

Ah Hu stretched out his hand and said, "I have five brothers here. You can give me fifty strings of cash. I won't care about myself. This is the price recognized by the whole Bianjing city. If you don't believe me, go and ask around later."

Ah Hui was furious and said, "Fifty strings of cash? You are robbing me!"

The landlord smiled and said, "Hey, little brother, don't talk nonsense. Robbery is against the law. This is just a little tea money for you to apologize to us.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to give it, we will certainly not make it difficult for you.”

He said that he was not embarrassed, but the four or five ruffians suddenly changed their attitude and expressions as if they were ready to bite someone. They did not look like they were not embarrassed at all. I was afraid that fists would fly at him before he could finish his word.

Su Yun's face darkened and he mobilized all his muscles to prepare for the situation. The five or six ruffians who were drawing pictures of dragons and tigers saw that Su Yun was tall and strong, their faces darkened, and a sense of momentum arose spontaneously. They also became a little nervous and immediately became alert.

Ah Hui thought they were going to fight, and was ready to do so. Just as the situation became tense, a clear voice suddenly said, "Stop!"

Everyone turned around and their eyes suddenly lit up. They saw two pretty women standing at the entrance of the alley.

Although these two girls were dressed in ordinary clothes and had no makeup on, their faces were bare, but their appearance was excellent, with bright eyes and charming looks, which made people lose themselves in admiration, especially the older girls, who were even more beautiful.

The landlord was immediately delighted and said, "Oh my, it's Miss Zhang. Did we disturb you? I was wrong, I was wrong... Ah Hu, take the two young masters to the courtyard and have a good talk with them."

He winked at Ah Hu, who understood and was about to come over to capture Su Yun and Ah Hui.

"Wait a minute!" said Madam Zhang. "Master Cai, these two are old acquaintances of mine. If they have offended me with their words, please, for my sake, don't embarrass them, okay?"

Cai Dongjia chuckled and said, "Okay, okay. Since Madam Zhang has spoken, there is naturally no problem. However, Madam Zhang, do you think it's okay for me to treat you to a simple meal last time?"

Madam Zhang smiled and said, "Master Cai, I am a decent girl. It is not right for me to have dinner with a man. Please don't say such things in the future. It is very offensive."

Cai Dongjia's face suddenly darkened and he said, "What good family or bad family? I've seen a lot of people like you. You're just a whore who retired from a brothel.

I can smell the scent on you from three miles away. Don't think that you can be considered a good girl just because you live in this alley.

Normally, I treat people with courtesy. After all, I am a good kid from a local family, and I would never do anything criminal.

I invited you with good intentions, and it is a mutual consent. If you are unwilling, then that's fine, but I also told my brothers not to offend you. After all, this is my territory. If something really goes wrong, it will be my reputation that is ruined.

But you want to plead for these two people today, without paying anything, and want to settle the matter just by talking. There is no such thing in the world.

Madam Zhang, make your own decision. Either you withdraw and stop pretending to be so important, or you agree to have a meal with me. It’s up to you.”

Madam Zhang was trembling all over, her face was pale, she lowered her head and thought for a while, then said, "You just said that I would give you 50 strings of cash for tea, I will pay for it, and this matter will be over."

Cai Dongjia laughed and said, "It was like this before, but it's not possible now. Let me tell you, don't accuse me of bullying. I'll give you another choice. Either eat with me or pay 500 strings of cash. Otherwise, I'll have to deal with these two guys today!"

The little girl next to him said angrily: "Why don't you go rob? This is Bianjing, under the feet of the emperor. It's illegal for you to blackmail. We are going to report it to the police!"

Cai Dongjia and five or six scoundrels burst into laughter.

Cai Dongjia laughed so hard that he couldn't breathe, and said: "You outsiders came to our territory and said you want to report to the authorities. Do you know which way the Kaifeng government office is?
Hahaha, I'm not afraid to tell you that the head of the Kaifeng government is my uncle. If you report to the authorities, my uncle will arrest you first, beat you half to death, and throw you in jail for a year or two. By then, you will die in there and no one will know! "

The little girl was so frightened that her face turned pale, but she was still stubborn and said, "I don't believe it. Under the emperor's feet, how can a small leader cover the sky with one hand?"

Cai Dongjia chuckled and said, "My uncle is not needed to deal with you outsiders. Madam Zhang, you should know that even a powerful dragon will not suppress a local snake. You are not powerful dragons, but outsiders. Do you understand the current situation?"

Ah Hu and others looked at Madam Zhang as if they were watching a good show, waiting to see what choice he would make.

At this time, a middle-aged man in a long robe came in from the alley. Seeing this situation, he was stunned for a moment. Then he saw Cai Dongjia and immediately realized that Cai Dongjia was bullying outsiders again. He frowned and said, "Cai Wangsheng, you better be quiet and don't cause any trouble!"

When Cai Wangsheng saw the middle-aged man, he immediately put on a smile. Those scoundrels who were drawing pictures of dragons and tigers also put away their aggressive postures and stood obediently with their hands hanging down.

Cai Wangsheng said, "Master Xu, how come you have time to come back to the neighborhood? Yesterday I went to your house to visit Aunt Xu. Aunt Xu is in good health, so you can rest assured."

Xu Zhuanzhi glanced at Su Yun and the other two, his eyes lit up, then he looked at Madam Zhang, his expression changed again, and then he waved his hand and said, "Okay, there's nothing else to do, you can go on your own."

Cai Wangsheng said anxiously: "Xu Zhuanzhi, they..."

Xu Zhuanzhi glanced at Cai Wangsheng, and Cai Wangsheng immediately shut up.

Su Yun and Xu Zhuanzhi bowed their hands in thanks.

The little girl hurriedly said, "You two come with us!" Ah Hui looked at Su Yun, who nodded, then followed Madam Zhang and the other person and walked towards the alley.

After walking to the alley entrance and turning a corner, they opened a courtyard door and said, "Mr. Su, please come in."

Su Yun nodded and entered the yard. Ah Hui quickly followed. The little girl quickly locked the door tightly, as if she was afraid that Cai Wangsheng and others would catch up with them.

Su Yun smiled and said, "Yuan Baoer, and Qinghe Garden Master, I didn't expect to see you in Bianjing."

Before Zhang Qinghe could say anything, Yuan Baoer asked, "Master Su..., why did you come to Bianjing? What are you doing here?"

Su Yun smiled and said, "We are here to rent a house."

Zhang Qinghe looked at Su Yun in surprise and said, "Master Su, if you want to rent a house, why don't you ask the store and house service... Well, I wonder why Master Su came to Bianjing?"

Hearing Zhang Qinghe's question, Su Yun hesitated whether he should tell the truth. After all, although Zhang Qinghe stood up today and saved him once, things like meeting the emperor should not be publicized.

He was just about to pick out something to say, but Zhang Qinghe said first: "Young Master, I guess you are here to study, right?"

Su Yun nodded quickly and said, "Indeed, I am here to study. I have to thank the owner of Qinghe Garden for what happened today."

Zhang Qinghe smiled and said, "Master Su, I have left that world of prostitution, so don't call me the owner of Qinghe Garden anymore, just call me Zhang Qinghe.

As for what happened today, don't worry about it. I used your name to leave Jiujiang Tower, but I didn't really become your concubine or maid. I owed you that."

Zhang Qinghe said cautiously.

She saw that Su Yun looked tired and had some sweat on his body. He looked more disheveled than before. She thought that this handsome young man must have fallen into trouble, otherwise he would not have rented a house in a place like this. She didn't know what had happened.

Therefore, she spoke carefully, for fear of hurting others.

Su Yun was stunned when he heard this. He didn't know what Zhang Qinghe meant, so he asked, "Madam Zhang, I don't quite understand what you mean."

Zhang Qinghe recalled that when she told everyone that she would pledge her love to Su Yun, Su Yun had already left and she had no idea what had happened. She felt a little embarrassed to repeat what had happened now.

Su Yun could see it, and immediately said, "It's not a big deal, but I want to thank you today anyway."

Zhang Qinghe breathed a sigh of relief, and then said to Yuan Baoer and Ah Hui: "Go get a glass of water, I'll talk to Master Su."

Ah Hui looked at Su Yun, and Su Yun nodded.

Ah Hui followed Yuan Baoer out.

Su Yun looked at Zhang Qinghe to see what she wanted to say.

Zhang Qinghe took out a brocade bag from his sleeve and handed it to Su Yun.

Su Yun was confused and asked, "Madam Zhang, what is this?"

Zhang Qinghe said sincerely: "Although you don't know what happened, I am free because of you. I don't know how to thank you. This is a small gift, please accept it."

Su Yun thought about it, guessed something, and shook his head, "That's nothing. It's a good thing to be free after all. There's no need to thank me. I'm not short of money."

Zhang Qinghe looked at Su Yun and said, "Mr. Su, it is inevitable that people will encounter difficulties. Even if you don't help me, we know each other after all. If you are in trouble, I will help you. Besides, this is just a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it to comfort my anxiety. Please."

Su Yun looked at his whole body and immediately realized that Zhang Qinghe had misunderstood him. He was immediately at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and said, "Actually..."

Zhang Qinghe saw Su Yun's bitter smile and quickly said, "No matter what, just think of this as giving me a chance to repay you and make me feel at ease. Is that ok?"

As he spoke, Zhang Qinghe forced the brocade bag into Su Yun's hand.

Su Yun suddenly felt something heavy in his hand, which must have contained a few silver ingots or something like that. After thinking for a while, he bowed to Zhang Qinghe and said, "Thank you, Madam Zhang."

Zhang Qinghe heaved a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "I should thank you. Why are you thanking me? Mr. Su, please leave quickly. Cai Wangsheng is not a good person. Fortunately, Xu Zhuanzhi came today, otherwise things would be terrible."

Su Yun asked with concern: "Cai Wangsheng is eyeing you covetously, your situation is not good."

Zhang Qinghe smiled and said, "Mr. Su, don't worry. Cai Wangsheng is from this neighborhood, and everyone around here is his fellow villager.

Although he is usually domineering, he still dares not bully men and women.

Even if he covets me, he has to do it with my consent, otherwise if the news gets out, he will be too embarrassed to live as a human being. "

Su Yun nodded and said, "That's good, but we still have to be careful."

Zhang Qinghe nodded and said, "Don't worry about me. You guys should leave quickly. Although he doesn't dare to bully me, you don't live here after all. He has nothing to fear. It's better to leave quickly."

Su Yun nodded, thought for a moment and said, "When I find a house, I'll have someone send the address to you. If you have any problems here, you can always find me."

Zhang Qinghe thought Su Yun was trying to save face for him, but he didn't say much. He just nodded and said, "Thank you, Master Su."

Su Yun did not stay any longer, left the yard, called Ah Hui and left.

Yuan Baoer closed the gate and turned back to Zhang Qinghe and said, "Sister, what did you say to him? Why did you send me away?"

Zhang Qinghe smiled and said, "I have done this favor. Not only did I save him today, I also gave him some money to help him through the difficult times."

Yuan Baoer asked curiously, "What difficulties does he have?"

Zhang Qinghe shook her head and said, "I don't know, but looking at his appearance, he looks haggard and absent-minded. I guess he really encountered difficulties. However, we can't help him. Seeing that he came to a place like this to rent a house, I think he must be short of money, so I gave him some money. It can help him and also make me feel at ease."

Yuan Baoer nodded, then became a little worried and said, "Sister, we have offended Cai Wangsheng today. I'm afraid he will come to cause trouble for us."

Zhang Qinghe nodded and said, "Pack up your things and leave immediately!"

"Ah? So hasty?" Yuan Baoer was startled.

Zhang Qinghe nodded and said, "Xu Zhuanzhi is going home today, so Cai Wangsheng doesn't dare to act rashly. But once Xu Zhuanzhi leaves, he will definitely cause trouble for us, so we should leave this troubled place immediately."

Yuan Baoer said with a sad face: "Then we will definitely not get our rental deposit back."

Zhang Qinghe said casually, "People's safety is the most important thing. Money is just a thing outside of our body. Bianjing City is so big, we can just rent a house somewhere else. Cai Wangsheng won't be able to find us."

The two sisters quickly packed up their things. Luckily they didn't have too many things, so they quietly slipped away when no one was around.

Su Yun and Ah Hui walked out of the alley and came to Daxiangguo Temple. The bustling crowd gave Ah Hui a sense of security. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Ah Yun, I almost hurt you today."

Su Yun glanced at Ah Hui, who lowered his head guiltily.

Su Yun said: "Remember this lesson. When you go out, talk things over nicely and don't get into conflict with others easily. Got it?"

Ah Hui nodded in acceptance of the instruction.

Su Yun secretly laughed in his heart. Ah Hui was such a mean guy. He should be taught a lesson so that he could correct this bad habit. Remember how he spoke when he first met him?

[Brother, if you have eye problems, I know a doctor in the city who is very good at treating eye diseases.]

Good man, you really deserve a beating.

Su Yun snorted, then took out a brocade bag from his arms and opened it. There were actually two gold ingots inside. They were very heavy, probably weighing ten taels.
