The moon falling to the ground

The shopkeeper said, "I can give you a one-year deadline. If you can't raise the rent within a year, the eight hundred taels you paid first will be considered as the rental fee and will not be refunded. And the house deed will not be transferred. When the money is raised, it will be transferred."

A yard like this would cost about two hundred taels of silver if rented out for a year.

If she couldn't raise the rent, the shopkeeper asked for the first 800 taels to be paid as rent. Such a condition seemed unreasonable, but Jian Yue had superb poison skills and could brew wine, so how could she not earn enough to buy a house in a year? So, the shopkeeper seemed to be giving Yun Zhonghe the green light, but in fact it was for her. Because the shopkeeper already knew from the previous conversation that she wanted to find a place to live.

"What exactly do you want from me and my master by being so kind to us, boss? Please explain clearly before we accept your kindness." Jian Yue said bluntly.

The shopkeeper had seen countless people and had a sharp eye. He naturally saw that Jian Yue was a person who didn't like to beat around the bush when speaking or doing things. So he said frankly: "Although the girl is young, she has superb medical skills and is a capable person. I want to make friends with the girl when she is still a nobody. Otherwise, when the girl is successful, why would she need people like us to show her courtesy?"

Jian Yue smiled faintly: "So the department manager thinks highly of me."

The shopkeeper said seriously: "The girl's downfall is temporary. I believe that with her talent, she will soon rise to prominence."

Jian Yue bowed to the shopkeeper: "Thank you for your kind words. I appreciate your kindness. As long as it does not violate moral laws and my bottom line, and you need to detoxify and save people, I will do my best."

The department manager was delighted.

As long as Jian Yue can accept his olive branch, things will go smoothly afterwards.

It's not that Jian Yue couldn't guess that there was someone behind the shopkeeper, but she was in urgent need of gaining a foothold in the capital city and needed help, so she didn't worry too much.

The broker took the three people to the brokerage firm to sign the contract, and the name on the contract was signed by Yun Zhonghe.

The land and house transactions in Nanchang State require household registration certificates to be transferred at the government office. Jian Yue didn't want the Jian family to know that she had private property, so she naturally couldn't produce the household registration certificate. Therefore, the house could only be registered under Yun Zhonghe's name.

After signing the contract, Yun Zhonghe took out eight hundred taels of silver and gave it to the storekeeper.

"Ms. Jian, Mr. Yun, I will send someone to clean the house when I get back, and you can move in tomorrow." The shopkeeper said with a smile.

Jian Yue did not refuse. She had already owed the favor and didn't care about getting a little more.

"Thank you very much, boss."

"You're welcome. Miss Jane, if you need anything in the future, just let me know."

After parting with the shopkeeper, Yun Zhonghe and Jian Yue returned to Shimen Lane.

Yun Zhonghe looked at Jian Yue: "Girl Yue, the East City Iron Shop is not a simple place, you have to be careful when dealing with them." After all, he had only been an apprentice for a few days, and he hadn't fully understood his temperament yet, so Yun Zhonghe didn't want to interfere too much.

"Master, I understand. In fact, my home is only two streets away from here." Instead of letting Yun Zhonghe know from others, it is better to tell him himself.

The Jian family made a big joke on their first day here. Such news could not be concealed at all.

Jian Yue briefly described her experience at home. She did not directly say that she was not the daughter of the Jian family. Yun Zhonghe was a person who saw through the warmth and coldness of human nature and the vicissitudes of the world, and he would make up his own mind.

Sure enough, after Jian Yue finished speaking, Yun Zhonghe's face showed distress and anger: "There are no parents like this in the world. Even if they favor boys over girls, it means that the girls in the family eat less and work more. When a girl is fourteen or fifteen years old, she can be asked to be exchanged for a betrothal gift. Why would they deliberately harm their own daughter's body?"

As Yun Zhonghe was talking, he suddenly realized another problem: "Your parents are good to their adopted daughter and are willing to spend money to train her, unless they knew her identity from the beginning." He paused, "But this doesn't make sense. You have a younger sister. Your mother trained her to learn needlework since she was a child. The only thing your family treats you differently."

Jian Yue sighed: "So I refused to accept it. I went against them. I didn't want to be a coward and be tortured to death by them. The mansion master's daughter sent people to come several times. According to what my parents said, they wanted to sell me to the mansion master's daughter."

"Why? Just for the few taels of silver you earned from selling your body?" Yun Zhonghe frowned.

Jian Yue chuckled: "Master, don't forget that for a servant who has signed a death contract, his life or death depends entirely on the mood of his master."

Yun Zhonghe gasped: "You mean, they want you dead? Did you have a grudge against the mansion master's daughter when you were a child?"

"No, as far as I can remember, she was the maid of the mansion master's daughter until she left when she was nine years old."

"From what you said, you are indebted to the Mansion Lord's daughter. I heard that the Mansion Lord's daughter is a gentle, generous and kind person. She should remember the old friendship, right?"

Yan Xinning is kind?

Don't joke, Yan Xinning is a venomous snake who is good at disguise.

"She really did miss the old friendship, and she invited a famous doctor on the first day. Her personal maid came in person. When I went to the clinic to buy medicine, she kicked me out of the carriage. I had just arrived and was unfamiliar with the city, so I met the master."

Yun Zhonghe looked at Jian Yue's face carefully. He had never met someone whose face changed so frequently. He couldn't help but worry, "You should be extra careful recently. There is a fierce aura between your eyebrows. I'm afraid there will be a bloody disaster in the near future."

"Thank you for your reminder, Master. I will be careful. Master, that yard is big. Should I buy a few people?"

Yun Zhonghe slapped his forehead and said, "Forget about this. You have to study and make wine in the future. Also... the shopkeeper said you know medical skills?"

Jian Yue laughed awkwardly: "Master, my medical skills are average. I just know a few common detoxification pills."

"Poison doctor!?" Although Yun Zhonghe had some guesses in his mind, he was still surprised. He pointed his finger at her forehead and said angrily, "I didn't expect you to be such a hidden talent. I'm just wondering, if you are so powerful, why are you still bullied by that family?"

Jian Yue chuckled: "I'm afraid Master won't believe me if I tell you this. A few days before I came to the capital, I suddenly became enlightened. Before that, I was in a daze, as if I had lost my soul."

Others might not believe what Jian Yue said, but Yun Zhonghe believed it.

There are many strange things in the world. There are many people who suffer from amnesia. Some people die with incomplete souls and are confused. His disciple is lucky and is also a person with great luck. Without the help of others, the soul can automatically return to its place, which is like God's help.

"Master believes that you have an extraordinary destiny. As long as you don't go astray, great fortune will be waiting for you. Let's go! Go buy people. After buying people, you should put the matter of brewing wine on the agenda as soon as possible. By the way, when can Master drink the wine you brew?" Yun Zhonghe was a little resentful.

This little girl is not honest, she just paints a rosy picture for him...
