MTL - Martial Arts Master Travelled to Ancient Time and Farms-Chapter 72 Temporary settlement in Chengdong

   Chapter 72 Temporary settlement in the east of the city

  Chixia City is large and large, and it is very typical that there is water everywhere in the city.

  There is a Yunshui River running across the north and south, and there are also several Yunshui tributaries running through the streets and alleys in the city.

  The famous waters include Bijiang Pond, Wenxing Lake and so on.

   In short, you can see the water when you walk, and there are water features everywhere.

   This also makes this city always show a special romance in the eyes of those who see it for the first time.

  Although there was a war just now, because the King of Linhai did not enter the city, the environment in the city was not destroyed, and the overall atmosphere in the city was still prosperous and prosperous.

  Cheng Ling saw something new and felt very happy.

   The process of looking for a house was relatively smooth, because there was a wealthy servant like Chen Guanshi who was familiar with the local area to lead the way.

   As the saying goes, the snake has its way, and the rat has its way. When it comes to such trivial matters related to people's livelihood, Chen Guanshi knows better than Wang Qilang how to deal with it.

   Of course, Wang Qilang's face is still very big.

  Steward Chen took Cheng Ling and others to find the Yaxing that was in charge of all kinds of intermediary matters. He pulled the head of the row and quietly pointed out, "This is Mr. Qilang from our lord's family."

   Just like that, I immediately asked the head of the line to come down and introduce myself and accompany the whole process.

  The head of the line also took out a simple map, and pointed out that some houses are good in all aspects and can be rented out for Cheng Ling to choose.

Cheng Ling chose a few places, including a two-storey courtyard near Yunshui River, a two-storey house two streets away from Wenxing Lake, and a farther away from the center of the city, but with a more spacious area. Three into the house.

The house where   Sanjin is located is located in the east of the city, which is already close to the east gate.

  According to the introduction of this line, most of the people living in the east part of the city are relatively wealthy and small families, including merchants and warriors, and people who do business in the local area.

  Xingshou lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "There are also people from the rivers and lakes, who also like to live in the east of the city temporarily, over there... Don't look at the size of the house, it's like living here... Tsk, it's hard to say."

He highly recommended the house not far from Wenxing Lake, saying: "There is Wenxing Building, a famous scenic spot in Chixia City, where the sons and celebrities often hold various cultural conferences. On the Qingyuan Mountain opposite the lake is our Chixia City. The two most famous academies…”

   After some introduction, I just said that the house here is quiet and quiet. Although it is slightly smaller, it is very unusual with the Wenxing Lake atmosphere.

   As for the yard near the Yunshui River, the whole thing is quite satisfactory.

But the head of the line also recommends: "To be honest with your lord, most of the people living by the Yunshui River are small officials in the city, or they are close relatives. The next house is not far from the Yunshui River, and the neighbors don't say it, at least They are all decent people.”

   has evaluated it in such detail, it can be said to be very real.

   The group rode the carriage, walked around the entire Chixia City for half a circle, and looked at the three houses on the spot.

   The last thing I saw was the Sanjinyuan in the east of the city, but Wang Qilang, like the head of the line, strongly recommended to Cheng Ling the house two streets away from Wenxing Lake.

He persuaded Cheng Ling: "Although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs. The biggest advantage is that it is close to Wenxing Lake, which is the so-called "living Qi and nourishing the body." Looking at the surrounding shops, most of them are either study rooms or cloth villages, which are quiet and clean. Wouldn't it be better?"

  Cheng Ling nodded, but did not respond immediately.

   In fact, she has been thinking secretly in her heart all the time. At this time, she has already made up her mind, but she still asked Mu Sanniang: "Aniang, what do you think? Where do you want to live?"

  Mu Sanniang was actually thinking carefully. When Cheng Ling asked a question, she said, "Brother Ling, I personally want to live in the east of the city. I think this house is big, so it's pretty good."

   She did not say the specific reason, in fact, she just felt that Chengdong was more friendly, and the small families around her made her feel at ease.

   This kind of hustle and bustle in the market is what Mu Sanniang is familiar with. Besides, Cheng Ling also said that he needs to accumulate strength in Chixia City. Is the environment over Wenxing Lake convenient for accumulation of strength?

   Can't recruit a group of scholars, and when disaster strikes, go to the city to fight?

   These words are not easy to say in front of outsiders, Mu Sanniang just emphasizing awkwardly: she likes the big house.

  Cheng Ling understood her somewhat, and immediately smiled: "Auntie, I also like Chengdong."

  The mother and daughter looked at each other, Cheng Ling smiled, Mu Sanniang pursed her lips lightly, and after a while she smiled relaxedly.

  The house was settled like this, without much persuasion from others, Cheng Ling made the decision simply and quickly.

   Wang Qilang couldn't persuade him any more, so he sighed and said, "The county governor's mansion is in the west of the city, Brother Cheng, if I go to you again in the future, I'll have to cross most of Chixia City!"

  Cheng Ling said: "If I want to see Brother Wang, don't I also need to traverse more than half of Chixia City?"

   After saying this, Wang Qilang laughed suddenly, but it was a little silly.

   Everyone went back to the tooth bank to sign the documents. Today's tooth bank has no private teeth, but official teeth. Once the seal is covered, the document has legal effect.

Cheng Ling didn't even have to meet the original owner of the house, Ya Xing said first: "The owner is a businessman from the north. He only comes to Chixia City once a year, and he doesn't live in the house when he comes. Most of the time he lives in an inn. Don't worry, Langjun."

  Just like that, Cheng Ling followed the rules of Yaxing and directly signed a one-year lease.

  The rent is three thousand dollars a month, which is three taels of silver.

   Thirty-six taels a year, Cheng Ling paid in one lump sum, in addition to another ten taels of silver as a security deposit.

   After coming out of her teeth, Mu Sanniang let out a long sigh and whispered to Cheng Ling, "Brother Ling, paying so much money makes A-niang both distressed and at ease."

  Cheng Ling looked at her with encouraging eyes.

   Mu Sanniang then said again: "You pay directly for one year, do you expect us to settle down here for at least one year?"

   is really afraid of running around, and Mu Sanniang is also really afraid that in the blink of an eye, she and others will run away with rags.

  Cheng Ling didn't say any more pessimistic words this time, she said: "I hope it can be longer."

   Mu Sanniang laughed.

  The house must be down, and the move will be very fast.

   In fact, we can't even talk about moving, because Cheng Ling and others have so much junk luggage together, and Tingquan Bieyuan is not their home, and there is nothing to move.

   Guan Yuelin led his troops out of the city to deal with the remnants of King Linhai's stragglers. Cheng Ling couldn't say goodbye to him in person, so he only asked Wang Qilang to convey it on his behalf. The next day, she took everyone away from Tingquan Courtyard and went directly to the house in the east of the city.

   Sanjin's yard is actually more spacious than Tingquan Courtyard. Cheng Erni was a little surprised when she entered the yard.

   She said in disbelief: "Brother Ling, will this place be our home in the future?"

  Is this their home?

  Cheng Ling stood in the courtyard and looked around. In fact, a rented house can't be called a home, but isn't it a home where there are family members?

   Here, although it may not be their future home, it must be her new starting point in this world.
