"Where's Rou'er? What do you want to buy? Let's talk about it together." Wen Shouzheng looked at Rou'er and said expressionlessly.
"Father, Rou'er doesn't need anything, don't worry about it. Rou'er just needs to be by Dad's side!" Unexpectedly, Rou'er didn't want anything, so she just said this plainly.
Wen Shouzheng's heart suddenly sank.
"Oh, by the way, Dad! I remembered, I still need to buy a hat... It's going to be hot soon..." Wen Ting seemed to remember something again, and continued.
"Buy! Buy! Buy a fart!" Wen Shouzheng finally broke out when he couldn't bear it anymore.
Immediately, Zhou's family and Wen Ting were startled even by Wen Rou. They had never seen Wen Shouzheng lose such a temper. Ren Yue who was hiding behind was silent in thought.
"I left my hometown and moved to the provincial capital. I haven't found a place to settle yet. You just want this and that! If you need it, sell me and see how much money you can get, so that you can fill your hole!" Wen Shouzheng Angry.
A middle-aged man, with his wife and children, prepared to break out into a new world in an unfamiliar environment with the mentality of breaking the boat. But now, even the most basic housing cannot satisfy his wife and children. Under the heavy pressure, Wen Shouzheng finally broke out.
Of course, although he was angry at his wife and children, Nei Li didn't really come at his wife and children.
Zhou was astonished, Wen Ting was surprised, and remained silent.
In the silence, finally, Wen Shouzheng silently lowered his head, sighed heavily as if he had made up his mind, and said, "Oh! You guys rest here first, and I'll go and have a look elsewhere, maybe Find the right house!"
After finishing speaking, Wen Shouzheng wiped the sweat off his brow, and his chubby body gradually receded.
Ren Yue has been hiding behind. Witnessed the usual quarrels in common people's homes just now. Those so-called desks, cloths, folding fans, porcelain, cloth supports, cosmetics, jewelry, etc., in Ren Yue's view, they are just tea money for him in the capital on weekdays. It turned out that these seemingly ordinary and inconspicuous expenses would actually make a middle-aged man so decadent, even helpless. But it happened when Wen Shouzheng turned around. Ren Yue saw the determination in his eyes.
It turned out that it was a wise thing not to go up to say hello before!
At this moment, Ren Yue was a little complacent.
He always thought that he was very wise, but this time, he had never felt this kind of self-gratification in his life.
Ren Yue led Yingxue to turn around slowly, and left quietly.
Not far from the small courtyard just seen, there is a small courtyard with a single door. Although the wall skin is a little peeling. The door panel also had some cracks. But the tall bamboo branches protruding from the wall and the clusters of begonias can still tell the owner of this small courtyard. Cold and arrogant personality.
Ren Yue knocked lightly on the door.
For a long time no one answered.
"Excuse me, is anyone there?" Ren Yue's voice sounded slowly like an empty mountain of jade.
Crushed footsteps. An old man asked slowly, "Who is that?"
"Passerby." Ren Yue replied clearly.
"If you're looking at the house, please go back, I won't sell it." The voice from inside the door sounded again.
"Please go back to see the house!" Ren Yue secretly speculated, could it be that Chef Wen's family had already been here before, and they also said they wanted to see the house? But don't think the owner of this house has no intention of selling the house
"Although I am a passer-by, I still pass by by fate. If it is convenient for the old man, please meet me, so that the passer-by can ask for a glass of water." As soon as Ren Yue said this, he regretted it. It's time to ask for water.
I don't know if Ren Yue's voice is quite attractive, or if the question and answer just now are quite meaningful, or if it's just a glass of water, that's all. With a sound of "squeak", the wooden door opened, and an old man with white hair and childlike face supported the door with both hands, standing inside the door, with bright eyes and full of energy.
"Juniors are polite." Ren Yue secretly marveled at the old man's demeanor, which was somewhat similar to Mr. Song Tao, subconsciously polite.
When the old man opened the door, what he saw was a young man with a face like a crown jade and dressed in white. Although the clothes were expensive, he was not the vulgar kind of dude. Ren Yue, who has an extraordinary bearing, no matter where he goes, no matter men, women, old or young, they will all be full of praise for his legacy.
"Isn't the young master from here? Please come inside." The old man was equally polite and introduced Ren Yue.
I heard that he was asking for water, and it was such a handsome young man, the old man invited Ren Yue to the edge of the bamboo, under the crabapple tree, where there was an exquisite rattan table with a set of beautifully crafted purple sand on it. The tea set and two silk futons are randomly placed on the ground.
Ren Yue couldn't help being a little surprised, thinking that there are such arty old people in this provincial capital!
As soon as a good Longjing pot was entered, the saliva was slightly fragrant and sweet, and Ren Yue's tired body gradually regained its strength.
"Remove the flowers and plants, and the garden will be full of cold greenery and dust-free. In the hot summer, there is still a breeze to borrow from the neighbors."
At this time, a gust of breeze blew by, and the knotted bamboo in the courtyard leaned against the wall, making a rustling sound. Ren Yue put down the purple sand cup in his hand and chanted casually.
"Hehe. Sitting alone in the secluded bamboo, playing the qin and screaming again. People in the deep forest don't know, but the bright moon comes to shine." The old man was not surprised at all, holding up his cup, he followed Ren Yue's poems and recited while looking at the knotted bamboo.
This old man is quite talented.
Although Ren Yue's face was still calm and composed, he was secretly surprised.
"The begonias in my hometown are blooming today, and I dreamed of Jinxiudui in Jiangxi. Everything is spring and people grow old alone. After a year, the swallows will return." The old man raised his cup, slowly moved it to his mouth, took a small sip, and put it down gently, looking at the cup. Looking at the crabapple in front of the bamboo, he talked to himself.
"It's as green as the daytime, and catkins fly around when you want to fall. You can't eat without the scenery, and you can send poems to the Cuiqiong cup." Ren Yue naturally took the old man's poems, and slowly recited the next sentence. Still so calm and composed, God flies like the wind.
"Young master is so talented, why don't you go to the examination for fame?" The old man put down his cup and asked slowly.
"Just because I couldn't find a place to concentrate on studying, I wandered around with my teacher all day long." Ren Yue couldn't help showing a little sadness on his face when he said this.
"Young master's talent is still among the dragons and phoenixes among the people, but I don't know my master..." The old man's eyes were bright.
"My family teacher's surname is Yue and the style name is Songtao." Ren Yue cupped his hands towards the north with a solemn expression.
"It turned out to be the famous Mr. Songtao!" The old man's eyes were completely lit up.
"The young master is..." the old man continued to ask.
"Junior Ren Yue." Ren Yue bowed his head and saluted.
"So it's Mr. Wushuang, I'm really disappointed." The old man suddenly became interested, and immediately got up, carefully admiring Ren Yue up and down, making Ren Yue slightly embarrassed.
"I don't know if the old man is..." Ren Yue felt a little strange. In Xi'an, which is far away from the capital, there is such an old man who is full of poetic and literary talents. What's more, this old man not only knows Mr. Song Tao, but also has heard of himself!
"Hehe, this old man is an ex-official of the government and the public. Just because he can't get used to those courtiers in the court, he doesn't want to be in the same class, and if he doesn't get along with a word, he fled his sleeves and lived here in seclusion. I saw you when you were young. Unexpectedly, time flies like an arrow, and Xiao Yue It's grown so big." The old man was a little emotional.
"The old man is the old man Yi Tianxing?" Ren Yue's heart tightened. Although he had never seen this old man before, he had heard that there was a very talented minister in the court before, and he was the most accomplished. , but left the imperial court and lived in seclusion in another country. Could it be that the person in front of me is just...
"Hehe, if Xiaoyue didn't mention it, the old man would have forgotten his name. No one has mentioned it for a long time, and he seems to be calling someone else." Yi Tianxing nodded and smiled.
"Yi Lao, are you really Yi Lao?" Ren Yue felt overjoyed that a person who left the court, a hermit like a fan, would meet here.
"Hehe, brother Songtao is in good health? Is your mouth still so greedy?" Yi Tianxing asked with a smile.
"Teacher is in good health and has a good appetite. Why don't Ren Yue be the host another day, and let the teacher and Yi Lao have a drink together?" Ren Yue became more interested.
"There is no need to meet, lest there are too many people who know, it will be my burden instead. Since you and brother Songtao are looking for a place to live, I will leave this courtyard to you, but there is one thing, don't mention it to Songtao Don't let Songtao know that I'm here. He finally got rid of the court, and he should enjoy his old age comfortably. Don't let people with ulterior motives take advantage of the old things." Yi Tianxing said, his eyes were empty Looked at the bamboo.
At this moment, the wind is blowing again.
"Where does this come from? If Elder Yi gives up this courtyard, where will Elder Yi live?" Ren Yue refused to accept.
"Hehe, I'm a wanderer. I'm just staying here for a short time. If you don't come, I'll let someone else do it in a short time. It's just that you just pay the money, so that I can find another place if I have money. Elsewhere." Yi Tianxing and Ren Yue were not polite.
"So, Ren Yue thanked Mr. Yi." Ren Yue got up and bowed respectfully.
"Xiao Yue, you're being polite. If your father Hong Ting, even if he wouldn't be so polite, he would definitely take it and give me a stack of banknotes. How can it be so troublesome, hahahaha!" Yi Tianxing said. , looking up to the sky and smiling, and the sound of bamboo leaves all over the courtyard, he seemed quite open-minded.
"I don't know how much silver taels Yi Lao needs?" Ren Yue asked directly after all.
"Hehe, this small courtyard is not worth a lot of money. When I bought it, it only cost four hundred taels. Now you can pay the same price!" Yi Tianxing was really straightforward.
"Four hundred taels!" Ren Yue was a little surprised, such an exquisite small courtyard is only four hundred taels, it's like a pie in the sky.
However, I obviously bought a house just now, and next to it is the aunt's small courtyard with willow trees.
Ren Yue was momentarily at a loss.
"Why? Xiaoyue is inconvenient? If it is inconvenient, you can bid!" Yi Tianxing was a little strange seeing Ren Yue's appearance. Logically speaking, this price and this location should not be expensive. How could Ren Yue More than this reaction
"Of course not, Ren Yue just felt that he was taking advantage of it, and felt uneasy inside." Ren Yue replied.
well! When did Ren Yue learn to be so duplicity.
