Bai Xin hurried back to the shop, thinking where would be a good place to rent a house for the Cheng family. After a few days, he found several places, but the prices were not very suitable. The main reason was that Bai Xin lost more than 200 taels, and he was more careful than before.

It was just a coincidence that there was a medicine shop diagonally opposite, which was also affected by this change. It finally paid off its debts, and it was unable and unwilling to continue the business. The businessman, which one is not mercenary, the shopkeeper posted the notice of renting the house on the door. It turns out that the facade of this house will not expire in half a year, and the refund will definitely not be refunded. The shopkeeper does not want to waste it in vain, so he posted it. , thinking of trying his luck to see if anyone wants to rent it.

When Bai Xin saw him, he was overjoyed. He liked that the place was close to his shop and it was convenient to take care of him. Moreover, the building here was a three-storey building with more than ten rooms, which was enough for the Cheng family to live in. So he immediately went to find the shopkeeper, who also Knowing Bai Xin, seeing that he was not hit hard this time, and he still wanted to rent a house, he felt sour and jealous.

Bai Xin has been so busy working on the house for the past few days that he didn't bother to make excuses, so he cut to the chase and said, "I don't know how long the front of your house will expire, how much do you want to rent?"

If someone else came, the shopkeeper of the pharmacy would still want to cheat, but Bai Xin also rented a shop on this street, so he knew the price, so he secretly sucked his teeth and stretched out his fingers to compare, "There are still six months left. Ten or so days are due, and the rent will be 120 taels for you."

Bai Xin sneered, the rent on Panlou Street is only 240 taels a year, and there is only half a year left for this place, and the other party asked him for 120 taels, which is really not a cent.

The shopkeeper was smug with Bai Xin's smile, and realized that the price was too unreasonable. Before Bai Xin could speak, he said again: "For the sake of the next game, I'll count you 100 taels of silver."

This person was afraid that he was crazy about money, so Bai Xin crossed his hands slightly and said, "In that case, I'd better ask elsewhere."

After finishing speaking, he turned his face away and left. The shopkeeper hurriedly shouted from behind: "Eighty, eighty."

Bai Xin ignored him, the wind was blowing under his feet, and he returned to his own shop in a blink of an eye. The shopkeeper's face was gloomy, and he stopped chasing him. Thinking that Bai Xin was defrauding him, she planned to wait for him for a few days with confidence.

Although Bai Xin guessed that the shopkeeper would let go in the end, he was not a person who was hanged from a tree. In the past few days, he has found several places, because the opposite door left him with a thought, and Bai Xin always wanted to Let Cheng's family live closer to his house so that it is convenient to take care of him.

The shopkeeper of the pharmacy can't wait for Bai Xin to change his mind. Prices in the capital are so high, especially after the banknotes are invalidated. The cost of one day in the capital is enough to spend ten days in the countryside. He also urged him frequently, but the shopkeeper couldn't do anything, thinking that he would never see Bai Xin again after he left anyway, so he simply turned down his face and came to find Bai Xin.

When Bai Xin saw him coming, he made it clear first: "I rented your frontage not for my own use, but for my friend's family, and because it's close to my shop so it's easy to take care of. As for whether it's a frontage, can you In business, I don't care."

When the shopkeeper heard this, his heart skipped a beat. He thought that Bai Xin was renting a house for his friends, not for business. If the price was not suitable, he could find a place to rent one at random. It must be much cheaper than the facade. The money flew away, and he quickly apologized with a smile, saying that the price was negotiable, and finally settled the deal at 30 taels of silver. If Bai Xin doesn't rent, he can only waste it in vain. The family must not live in the capital for half a year just for the house.

Afterwards, I asked the original owner to re-sign the contract, but the owner was getting impatient because he didn't get any benefits. The shopkeeper of the pharmacy was afraid that if he didn't show up, the contract could not be signed, so he spent some money to treat him to a drink. Just get things done.

This ordeal was delayed for seven or eight days, Bai Xin felt sorry, and hurriedly went to Longjin Street to find Cheng's family.

The Cheng family waited for a few days, but they didn't see Bai Xin. They thought he had left, but when they suddenly saw him appear, they were all overjoyed.

What Bai Xin wanted to rent to them was the facade of Panlou Street, and he couldn't hide the reason, so he explained the reason at the time, "There is a shop opposite me, and the shopkeeper wanted to go back to the countryside, so I rented a three-story shop from him. Floor, he packed his luggage these few days, so it was delayed for a few days."

The Cheng family are not fools either, guessing that the price of a house rented by Bai Xin must be very suitable. If they are serious about renting a house, they will find a decent house and rent a house that is better than Longjin Street. When I was young, it cost five or sixty taels of silver, and now that the economy is in turmoil, the cheaper the house, the harder it is to find.

Master Cheng praised Bai Xin in his heart for being flexible and good at doing business, and at the same time he couldn't help but lament that he was really old.

Bai Xin helped to hire two donkey carts, and they loaded the cages together. The Cheng family was really used to enjoying it. The life in the past half month was like hell. There was a feeling of escaping from the sky, and there was a happy look on his face.

There are more than ten members of the Cheng family. In addition to Mr. Cheng and Mrs. Cheng, there are also the eldest son of the Cheng family, the eldest son's wife, and the eldest daughter of the Cheng family. , a loyal servant with feelings.

The donkey cart was carrying luggage and was driving slowly. It took about three hours to arrive at the place.Since the shopkeeper of the pharmacy couldn't continue to operate, he didn't clean up the house very much. In addition, he had a lot of trouble packing, so it was a bit messy. Anyway, he lived there before, but it wasn't too serious.

Seeing this, the servants of the Cheng family got busy all by themselves. An old housekeeper commanded the rest of the people to move quickly and orderly. Those who fetched water and those who swept the floor swept the floor. The men were responsible for carrying the boxes upstairs. Put it where it should be.

Cheng Jia Dalang couldn't bear his father showing weakness to the younger generation, so he crossed his hands and said, "This time I have Lao Bai Sanlang, Wenren is really lucky to have such a friend as you, our whole family is very grateful."

Cheng Dalang was originally hired as an official, but it was only in name. Not only did he have no rights, but he also gave gifts and treats to those blood-sucking insects from time to time on weekdays, and sold his official status. However, in order to pay less taxes, some With this background, now that something happened, his official status can't help at all, and it's impossible to count on salary.

"You are serious. I heard that people gave me a lot of support before. It's nothing. You can stay at ease. My shop is diagonally opposite." Speaking of this, Bai Xin pointed sideways, "If necessary , just go to the shop and find me, and we will talk about everything when Wenren comes back."

Cheng Dalang felt sad when he mentioned his younger brother whose life or death was uncertain.

Bai Xin went back to the shop. The Cao family knew what had happened to the Cheng family, and also knew that their son was helping them rent a house. The Bai family was grateful for Cheng Wenren's help back then, so no one objected even though they felt sorry for spending money.

The Cheng family is also a businessman after all. Seeing that Bai Xin rented him a facade, he thought not to waste it, so he asked the family members to make some embroidery and sell it. It is novel and can earn dozens of coins a day. If it is a serious business, it is definitely not enough. It can't even earn back the rent. That is because the appearance is for nothing, and the Cheng family thinks they can earn a little bit.

Time flies, I don't think there is more than a month, the Cheng family is very measured, and never made a request to Bai Xin.

Because he watched Cheng's family all day long, Bai Xin was in much better spirits than before. That evening, when he was doing accounts in the shop, he heard a person walking outside. He subconsciously raised his head. Phnom Penh, on the contrary, is somewhat unclear.

Bai Xin thumped in his heart, only to feel that the figure was a bit familiar. His body reacted first, and he stood up on his own. At this moment, his chest was throbbing violently, looking forward to it, but also afraid like before. field.

"Sanlang!" The slightly hoarse voice, in Bai Xin's ears, was no less than piercing clouds and cracking stones.

The visitor walked in, his originally round face became resolute and resolute, with green stubble appearing on his chin, and his eyes were as sharp as lightning.

"Cheng Wenren." Bai Xin spat out three words with difficulty. He didn't dare to blink or move, lest this was a dream.

Until Cheng Wenren eagerly grasped his hand, and the warm pulse came over, as if giving someone a dose of panacea to bring the dead back to life, "Sanlang!"

Bai Xin was awake, his eyes were moist, but he couldn't control the corners of his mouth, almost dancing.

The author has something to say: There is a section in Chapter 95 where he kneels and kowtows. I remember some readers asked him what he kowtowed, the kind of kowtow to pray for the blessing of the Bodhisattva, and the imperial court issued a bank note that I wrote earlier to be invalid. It has appeared in history, and it existed in the Song Dynasty. It was in the period of Song Huizong. In Song Dynasty, it was called Jiaozi, and later it was called Qian Yin.

For the issuance of Jiaozi (silver notes) in the Song Dynasty, the imperial court had to prepare funds. For example, to issue more than 100 million Jiaozi, he had to prepare at least 30 silver coins. However, the imperial court did not prepare funds and could not exchange them, so the 5000st to 41rd Jiejiaozi, the imperial court announced that all of them were invalid and would not be exchanged. Around the first year of Daguan, Jiaozi was changed to Qianyin. Of course, this was just a change of name, Daguan Three years later, the 43th World Qianyin was reissued.
