The moon falling to the ground

He bowed to Ji Yunzhong and reported: "Master, a skinny little girl has been going in and out of Yun Zhonghe's yard in recent days. Yesterday afternoon, the little girl bought a cart of food and sent it to Shimen Lane. Since yesterday afternoon, Yun Zhonghe has been going to the dental shop to buy a yard. He seems to attach great importance to the yard he wants to buy, and he is not satisfied with any of the several he has seen."

The shopkeeper was moved: "A skinny little girl? Was she wearing a light blue cotton dress yesterday, and sometimes she carried a strange big bag?"

Fu Er looked at the shopkeeper in surprise, then looked at his master. Seeing that his master said nothing, he nodded.

The shopkeeper was surprised: "I didn't expect that girl to be related to Yun Zhonghe. It won't be difficult to find her this time."

Ji Yun frowned heavily.

How could it be such a coincidence?

He has always been skeptical of coincidences.

"Have you checked the girl's background?"

Fu Er: "I followed her to Qingshui Hutong last night. I went there again this morning and found out. A few days ago, a family came from the countryside. Their surname is Jian. The girl is from the Jian family, named Jian Zhaodi. She has a bad relationship with her parents and siblings. On the first day she moved in, she was chased out by her mother with a feather duster. The neighbors even got into trouble for trying to stop the fight..." Blah blah blah!

Fu Er explained the information he had obtained in detail. At the end, he said, "I have also found out that the Jian family is the adopted mother's family of the mansion lord's daughter. The courtyard where the Jian family lives was bought by the mansion lord's daughter."

"Interesting, the Jian family is a family with a story." Ji Yunzhong looked interested, "Let Fu San keep an eye on the Jian family and protect Jian Zhaodi if necessary. She is useful to us and cannot be lost."

"Yes."

"Find a way to sell the house on Shimen Street to Yun Zhonghe."

Behind Shimen Lane is Shimen Street, and at the west end of Shimen Street is the vegetable market.

The next day, Mr. Mao came to the iron shop early in the morning. But he waited in the iron shop for a whole day and did not see the person he wanted to see because Jian Yue did not come.

Mr. Mao was very disappointed and decided to come again tomorrow. He just didn't believe that he couldn't keep the little girl.

"Girl Yue, we've found a suitable house. I'll take you to see it. I guarantee you'll be satisfied." Yun Zhonghe's excited voice came in before he even entered the house.

In order to find a house that suits Jian Yue, Yun Zhonghe has run almost all over North City these days, and the soles of his shoes have been worn out.

"Master, have a drink of water first." Jian Yue poured Yun Zhonghe a cup of the herbal tea she had prepared.

Yun Zhonghe picked up the glass and drank it all in a few gulps: "Another glass."

The herbal tea prepared by Jian Yue not only relieves heat but also has the fragrance of herbs. Yun Zhonghe likes it very much.

After drinking a bellyful of herbal tea to quench his thirst, Yun Zhonghe hurriedly took Jian Yue out. The dental agent was still waiting at the gate of the house!

Jian Yue didn't expect that the house Yun Zhonghe found was on Shimen Street, too close to her master's residence.

A middle-aged dentist was standing at the door. When he saw Yun Zhonghe coming, he opened the gate.

This is a three-courtyard house. On the left side of the gate is a three-bay shop. On the right side are three back houses. After passing the hanging flower gate, there are six main rooms in the front yard and three side rooms in the east and west.

"Mr. Yun, we were entrusted by a friend of the owner to come here to clean and repair this yard. The owner does business in the south, and it's doing well there, so he sent a message saying he wants to sell it. The house is fully furnished, and the kitchen is also fully equipped with kitchenware. If you don't mind second-hand items, you can buy them and move in right away."

The agent was eloquent and tried his best to promote the yard, praising it like a flower.

Passing through the moon gate, the layout of the third courtyard is the same as the second courtyard, but there is an additional small flower bed in the courtyard.

There was a row of servants' rooms against the west wall of the backyard, and a deserted garden to the east. There was a stable and a utility room near the back door.

The more Jian Yue looked at it, the more satisfied she became.

This yard was exactly what she wanted.

The abandoned garden is large enough to grow herbs, and there is also space for wine jars. The shop in front can be used to open a wine shop. Although this street is not a popular place, she doesn't think it's a big problem.

"How much does this yard cost?" Jian Yue asked.

"Miss, two thousand six hundred taels, no bargaining. If the owner is not in a hurry to sell it, such a yard cannot be bought for more than three thousand taels."

Jian Yue also felt that it would be worthwhile to buy such a courtyard for three thousand taels. After all, Yanling Prefecture was prosperous, densely populated, and the land was valuable. However, she was a poor woman and did not have so much money!

"Master, let's go! We can't afford it." Jian Yue turned and left.

The broker hurriedly called her: "Girl, a yard like this is really not expensive at 2,600 taels."

Jian Yue stopped and said, "I know it's not expensive, but my master doesn't have that much money."

Yun Zhonghe was also a little disappointed. He was in the courtyard in the real world. Such a spacious courtyard would be perfect for brewing wine! It was a pity that his apprentice couldn't afford it.

Alas! I don't know when he can drink the wine brewed by his apprentice. I'm so anxious!

The dentist stopped talking too.

What else? No money, no talk.

As the three of them walked to the front door, a man came in.

"Mr. Yun, Miss!" The shopkeeper was surprised and delighted.

Jian Yue looked at Yun Zhonghe and said, "Master, do you know the shopkeeper?"

Yun Zhonghe nodded: "I know him, I guess! He's the owner of the East City Iron Shop. I've read his fortune for him a few times. I think I've read his fortune three times, and he got it right twice."

Jian Yue: "...The accuracy rate is quite high."

"Minister."

"Minister."

They both greeted the department manager at the same time.

"Are you the ones who bought the house?" asked the shopkeeper.

Yun Zhonghe laughed and said, "I haven't decided to buy it yet, I just came to take a look. Why is the shopkeeper here? Are you going to buy a house too?"

The shopkeeper shook his head and explained with a smile: "This is a house of a friend of mine, and he asked me to help him sell it. I heard that someone was looking at the house today, so I came to take a look, but I didn't expect it to be you. What's the matter? Are Mr. Yun and Miss dissatisfied?"

Yun Zhonghe looked regretful: "It's not that I'm dissatisfied, it's that I don't have that much money."

"Ah? Is it because of money? No problem, no problem." The shopkeeper called Yun Zhonghe and Jian Yue aside and whispered, "Young lady, you saved my buddy. I promised that if you need anything, I can help you."

"Is that so?" Yun Zhonghe looked at Jian Yue, "I can't let my apprentice owe you a favor just because of buying a house."

The shopkeeper said, "Miss, you don't need to owe us a favor. We owe you for saving our lives."

Jian Yue looked at Manager Bu and asked directly: "My master does like this yard, but he doesn't have enough money. How does Manager Bu want to help?"

The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment and asked, "How much money will Mr. Yun pay first?"

Yun Zhonghe held up two fingers: "Eight hundred taels."

This was the bottom line that Jian Yue had given him in advance. She could only take out 800 taels. She left more than 100 taels for emergency use.

The shopkeeper said...
