Dressed As a Farm Boy, He Cheated on His Way Out of the Desert.

Chapter 301 It’s easy to get things done wherever you have acquaintances!

The carriage went all the way through the streets and alleys, and arrived at Ping'an Lane in the south of the city. There was a small teahouse at the entrance of the lane.

A young man of thirteen or fourteen was looking around at the door of the teahouse. When he saw Jiaren jumping out of the carriage, he smiled and stepped forward to give him a pat.

“I thought I could only see you when I got to the academy, but I didn’t expect you to find you first, but why didn’t you go to my house? You left in a hurry that day, but there was something wrong at home?”

This boy is Jiaren's best friend in the dormitory named Lei Bolin. He is naturally optimistic and cheerful. He often eats and drinks with Jiaren on weekdays and gets along very well with him.

But Jiaren couldn’t say that his mother had passed away. After all, there were too many things involved and he couldn’t tell clearly at the moment.

He smiled and said, "School will start soon. Let's catch up on old times then. I have something to ask you for help today!"

Jiaren responded with a smile, and before Lei Bolin could ask any more questions, Li Laoer and Mr. Wen also got off the carriage.

Jiaren quickly introduced them and heard that one of them was Jiaren’s father and the other was Jiaren’s teacher. Lei Bolin quickly bowed politely.

Li Laoer smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "Sir, Jiaren said that your uncle is a middleman and has many good yards, so we took the liberty to come and disturb him today!"

"Uncle, you're welcome. My colleague and I are classmates and friends. You can just call me Bolin." Lei Bolin saluted again, and finally when he mentioned his uncle, his face became more proud, "My uncle is indeed our uncle." He is the best person in the south of the city, and all the neighbors in the nearby villages are willing to ask for his help. "

Speaking of it, a middleman is an intermediary who buys and sells houses. His name is more pleasant than that of a person who buys and sells people, but he can't escape the ranks of the ninth-rate.

Lei Bolin was studying in the academy and had a noble status, but he had no dislike for this uncle who was a low-class uncle. It was rare for him to be sensible and sensible.

Li Laoer and Mr. Wen looked at each other and were both satisfied with Jiaren as their good friend.

Soon, Rebolin led them to an alley behind the teahouse.

The alley is very clean. There are three houses on each side of the bluestone road. There are strips of stone at the door of each house, which are polished very smooth. It is obvious that many people sit here and chat.

At the end of the alley, in the small courtyard facing the south, Lei Bolin's uncle Sun Fu's family lived.

 Hearing that Li Laoer and others were his nephew's classmates, Sun Fu was very enthusiastic and quickly invited everyone into the house to drink tea and snacks, smiling so much that his face almost blossomed.

He has eaten more salt than his nephew for decades, so his vision is naturally too "poisonous".

Although the clothes worn by Li Laoer and Mr. Wen are not satin, the fabrics are excellent and the workmanship is fine. They are definitely not ordinary people.

He secretly made up his mind to help his nephew well today and not to lose face to his nephew. Maybe he could still make friends with noble people, which would be convenient for him in the future.

I heard that Li Laoer wanted to find a small courtyard. It didn’t have to be too big, but it needed more houses and friendly neighbors. It was best to be closer to the east of the city. He became more determined in this idea.

 Because Kyoto chose Weizhou Prefecture as its new capital. The big reason was that there was a palace in Weizhou Prefecture.

During the time of the late emperor, he went to the south of the Yangtze River for inspection and stayed here for a long time. The palace was built very exquisitely, in the style of the Jiangnan water town, and it directly occupied the entire east of the city.

Or strictly speaking, the Weizhou Prefecture at that time was only as big as the north of the city. Because palaces were built in the southeast and people gradually gathered together, the south and west of the city became what they are today.

The Li family wants to buy a courtyard, and it also needs to be closer to the east of the city. This means that someone from the Li family will often go to the palace, or at least often go in and out of the six yamen.

Such a golden thigh is so rare, don’t worry about anything, just hug it first and then talk about it.

"Second Master Li and Mr. Wen, it's such a coincidence that you two came here. Our yard has been planned to be sold recently. The landlord is old and has no children, so he plans to go to his nephew. We have been old neighbors for many years. Even if we get along well, the landlord is reluctant to leave for a while. If the second master thinks our alley is good, I will help him immediately, how about it? "

Before Li Laoer could say anything, Lei Bolin had already pulled Jiaren's arm and shouted happily, "Haha, Jiaren, we will be neighbors from now on. The academy is on holiday, so we can come back together."

Jiaren also laughed, but said: "My family bought a yard so that I could stay there during my exams. I'm afraid I won't be able to live here in the next two years."

Lei Bolin was a little disappointed, but fortunately Jiaren said again: "But in the past two years, I will come here often."

Rebolin became happy again and talked about the fun places nearby and which food shop had delicious food.

Sun Fu sighed inwardly when he heard this. His nephew was pretty good at ordinary times, but compared to this young man from the Li family, he was still far behind.     At least no one is steady and no one acts thoughtfully.

Li Laoer thought for a while before picking up Mr. Wen. It only took a quarter of an hour to get here by carriage.

Moreover, this alley is quiet in the middle of the hustle and bustle, easy to get in and out, and has nice neighbors. It shouldn’t be easy to find a place like this again.

 He made up his mind and asked Sun Fu to help inquire.

As a result, within a short time, Sun Fu came back with a smile and took them to see the yard.

The old couple who sold the yard liked scholars the most. When they heard that it was a young gentleman from Luo'an Academy who wanted to buy a yard, they immediately agreed.

At this moment, the two people warmly greeted everyone and walked around the yard.

There are two storefronts in front of the yard, which are rented to a young couple to open a grocery store. However, the store is not connected to the backyard, which ensures the privacy of both parties' lives.

 There are three main rooms in the yard, and two east and west wing rooms. The wing rooms can be used as warehouses and kitchens.

There is a moon door on the left side of the main house leading to half of the small garden at the back. A well was dug in the corner, some flowers and plants were planted, and the back door was opened for daily access.

 Li Laoer took a fancy to it almost immediately.

There are enough rooms, and there will be a place for family members to stay when they come over. The shop in front will be taken back later, and it will be convenient to open a small business at home.

The old couple were familiar with Sun Fu, and after Li Laoer promised to take good care of the yard where they had lived for half their lives, they set a price of 550 taels.

 The price is much higher than before.

 But now this is a new capital, suddenly too many people are crowded in, and housing prices are rising, and the price is very reasonable.

Li Laoer made the decision at that time, and even took advantage of the fact that there was no errand at the yamen, so he went directly to change stalls and wrote the house deed in Jiaren's name.

 Before dusk covers the entire city, this small courtyard belongs to Jiaren.

Lei Bolin was so envious that he asked Jiaren to treat him to delicious food, which made everyone laugh.

The old couple still had to pack their things and asked the Li family to let them stay for one more day.

Of course Li Laoer agreed and told them to take care of things slowly and not to rush, but Mr. Wen wanted to move in immediately so that he could go to court tomorrow.

The old couple did not expect that Mr. Wen, who had always been quiet and easy-going, was actually the royal censor of the dynasty. They were so surprised that they hurriedly tidied up the wing and helped Mr. Wen settle down first.

Mr. Wen didn’t refuse, and he didn’t even say a few polite words to Li Laoer.

 Previously, when they got off the carriage, Li Laoer said that he wanted to buy a yard and prepare Jiaren for the exam later. He guessed that this was an excuse.

 In fact, the Li family bought a yard just to accommodate him.

If he refuses, won't that ruin the Li family's desire to protect him? !

You must know that none of his biological parents are like this, but the Li family has done it. How valuable it is to him.

 Thousands of words of thanks are better than keeping them in mind. The future is long, so repay the kindness slowly.

 From now on, the Li family will be his second home...
