Seeing Ji Yuan's groping movements, and seeing Ji Yuan's eyes clearly, the broker next to him realized that Ji Yuan was actually blind. blind.

"Uh, guest officer, do you like this pen holder?"

The store clerk felt a little embarrassed, after all, how could a blind man buy the Four Treasures of the Study, so asking this was a polite reminder to Ji Yuan to put down the pen holder, this pen holder is not cheap, and it would be bad if it fell.

This voice also brought Ji Yuan back to reality, even though he could hear the clerk's enthusiasm cooling down, he was not unhappy at all.

"My shop boy, how much is this pen holder?"

Because Lu Chengfeng gave Lu Chengfeng a cold look at what he said just now, and the shop assistant realized his gaffe, so he would reply more respectfully.

"Returning to the guest officer, although this yellow flower pen holder is placed outside, it is very exquisite in terms of materials and workmanship. It is no lie to the old and the old. It costs two hundred coins to go out of Ning'an County and go to other prefectures. It is a tael of silver. The price starts!"

Is two hundred coins expensive or not? There is no precise concept of Ji Yuan, but it cost three Wen for a bowl of Yangchun noodles before, and this pen holder is worth sixty or seventy meals. If ordinary people cook by themselves, they should be worth a hundred meals, which is not cheap.

Ji Yuan can be regarded as having a huge amount of money now, one hundred and fifty taels of silver is one hundred and fifty guan, and he always has a thousand copper coins, so it is more than enough to buy a pen holder, but there is no reliable source of income, so Ji Yuan is still searching. bought.

Originally, it was useless, and in case of a downfall in the future, these two hundred texts could save lives!

In the past, Ji Yuan’s consumption concept was very conservative. Except for buying games and computer accessories, he basically didn’t spend a lot of money all year round. Now it’s a bit stressful.

As for the feeling of embarrassment if you don't buy something? Ji Yuan has never experienced this before, his thick skin may be innate.

Ji Yuan put down the pen holder and stood up, nodding in the direction of the house broker.

"It's almost time to go shopping, let's go, let's go to see the house."

"Ah, let's go this way and this way, let's go to the east of the city first."

The broker walked ahead, and Ji Yuan followed behind.

Lu Chengfeng took a step behind on purpose, looked at the pen holder spread out on the table, and took out a piece of broken silver amidst the shop assistant's doubts.

"I want the pen holder."

The store clerk didn't expect to make such a deal, so he immediately took the broken silver with a smile.

"Guest officer, wait a moment, go through a scale first, and then wrap it up for you!"

The store clerk quickly ran into the store with the pen holder and the broken silver, and handed the broken silver to the shopkeeper, who took out a small mini scale to weigh the broken silver, and then counted it on the abacus for a few times.

Seeing that Lu Chengfeng didn't come in, after a while, the shop clerk went outside with a roughly wrapped pen holder and change.

"Guest officer, take it well. The silver weighs six baht, which is two hundred and fifty cash. This is your change. Ten of them will be five treasures!"

When Wutongbao is a common saying among common people, because this copper coin is equivalent to Wuwen, a small coin, in terms of weight and face value, it should really be called Hongyuan Tongbao.

Lu Chengfeng didn't even look at it, he took the things and quickly chased after Ji Yuan and the broker who were walking a little far away.

………………

From morning to noon, I walked to several places, either the place was too remote or the place was too small, or the location was noisy.

Under the leadership of the broker, Ji Yuan has arrived at the fifth place he looked at today, which is in the south of the city.

Taking a quick look, there is a plaque on the gate. Before Ji Yuan asked, the broker had already started to introduce it.

"Mr. Ji, this is the place, Ju'an Xiaoge. This place will satisfy you. The surrounding is quiet. Once you enter the courtyard, there is a well in the courtyard. The open space connected to the back door of the courtyard also belongs to this house. If it is expanded, it can be used as a large household. It's a big mansion!"

As he spoke, the broker looked up at the most intense noon sun, and then took out the copper key and opened the copper lock on the gate.

"Crack... squeak~~"

When the door was pushed open, a burst of dust fell.

"Cough, cough... cough... No one has lived here for a long time..."

The broker waved his hands and patted himself on the body, then asked Ji Yuan and Lu Chengfeng to go in.

Arriving here made Ji Yuan a little excited. Although his eyesight was poor, he could vaguely see that this was the best house he had seen today.

The courtyard wall is not high, and the gate is not very elegant. The inside looks like a relatively delicate courtyard in Ji Yuan's impression. There is a back door between the main room and the side room.

There is a water well in the relatively spacious yard, but it is covered with a large wooden cover, which should not be used for a long time to prevent dust and fallen leaves, and a few round stones are pressed on it to prevent the cover from falling off.

There is also a big tree in the yard, its branches and leaves rustling with the wind, perhaps because of the shade of the tree, it is obviously cooler in the yard.

"Is there a tree in the yard? What kind of tree?"

Ji Yuan suddenly asked the broker.

"Well, you know there are trees?"

Ji Yuan smiled and pointed to his ears, then pointed in the direction of the big tree.

"My humble hearing is quite sharp, the tree wants to be quiet but the wind keeps on blowing."

"Sir, that is a jujube tree, it looks quite old."

Lu Chengfeng took the first step and answered respectfully.

"Yes, yes, it is a jujube tree. You can eat a lot of fresh and sweet jujubes after autumn!"

The broker said with a smile.

"Come on, let's look outside the back door."

Sometimes the broker would forget that the gentleman was blind, and recall it in some detail.

Outside the back door is a wasteland overgrown with weeds, and there are some abandoned vegetable fields and gourd racks. Obviously, it should be the place where the original owner grew some fruits and vegetables.

But the place is really not too small. There is a fence that can be crossed with one foot on the outermost side, which can be regarded as a boundary. Big circle?

Afterwards, the three of them went to see the main house, side room and kitchen in the courtyard. The courtyard of the house is not that big. Although there is a layer of dust in the house, it can be called a sound and elegant house overall.

The furniture was almost emptied, only the largest main room still had a bed, a table, and two stools.

To be honest, even in the 21st century of the last life, if Ji Yuan lives in such a place, as long as there is a net and a little decoration, he is very willing.

When he returned to the yard after walking around, Ji Yuan's smile never faded.

"Hey hey, are you satisfied, sir? I knew that sir would like this, and this house is cheap, you only need to buy it for thirty-six taels of silver, and such a house has such a spacious place, which one can't sell it for a hundred taels of silver ah!"

"Huh? So cheap?"

Ji Yuan was a little surprised. Of course he didn't know the housing prices here, but he could compare them. Those small bungalows with earthen courtyards all cost twenty or thirty taels.

The quality of this place is very different from those of the previous houses. It is definitely not too much to double or double, and it is indeed cheap if it only sells for less than forty taels.

"Hey, hey, sir, I don't know something..."

The broker's crappy literary style went on for a while, but he couldn't find the literary accent to follow along.

"Hey, the original owner of this place has passed away a long time ago, and now the house deed and land deed are owned by the government, and the place is relatively remote... so it has never been sold. The rich may not be interested, and ordinary people can't afford it. Forty taels, it is much more cost-effective to build the house yourself, so this place has not been sold, and the government has not frequently lowered the price!"

"Oh!! Then if I want to buy it, I have to go to the county government in person?"

"Sir, are you planning to buy it?"

The broker looked at Ji Yuan expectantly and asked.

"Why don't you buy such a cheap and elegant house? It's just a little dirty, just clean it up!"

Ji Yuan smiled, in a very good mood.

"Okay, sir, you really have a vision!! Why don't we go to the county government together while it's still early, and hand over the deed to the house?"

The broker obviously couldn't wait to get his hard-earned money. For a business of more than thirty taels, he could get a commission that was close to two taels, which was not a small amount of money!

In fact, Ji Yuan has the same mentality. He always wants to get the things he likes quickly. In his previous life, he couldn't afford a house and could only envy him. In this life, he is upscale.

Lu Chengfeng on the side smiled.

"Sir, you can go back to the inn to rest, and let Chengfeng go with him to the county government to buy the house deed!"

Young man who can do it, has a future, Ji Yuan is very happy, it would be great if he doesn't have to run errands by himself.

"That's good, I'll have to trouble Lu Shaoxia to make a trip."

"Mr. Ji is too polite, let's take you back to the inn first!"

On the road, on the road, the future is boundless! Ji Yuan felt that Lu Chengfeng's character could do well in the 21st century, because he was good at thinking about problems from the perspective of others.

………………

Half an hour later, in a certain room in the side courtyard of the Ning'an County Government, the chief secretary under the county magistrate looked at Lu Chengfeng in surprise.

"Lu Shaoxia, do you really want to buy this house? Live by yourself? You don't seem to be from Ning'an, do you?"

After asking this sentence, the master book also looked at the broker surnamed Zhou, squinting his eyes and stroking his beard. The latter was a little guilty by him.

"What? My lord, is there a problem with this house? Will it collapse or is there a dispute?"

The director looked at Lu Chengfeng again with such an expression on his face.

"Lu Shaoxia, you are the benefactors of our Ning'an County. I can't lie to you. To tell you the truth, this house is solid and elegant, but it is not well-reviewed in the market. The three owners within seven years either died of illness or had accidents. Especially the year before last when a scholar was found horrified to death in the courtyard, and since then no one has cared about the small pavilion!"

As he said that, the master turned the register in his hand, which is usually not shown to outsiders, to face Lu Chengfeng, so that he could see the official internal note on it: it is rumored that this is a haunted house.
