Chapter 47 Favorite

  Standing in this alley that he strayed into, Ji Que had a particularly good feeling for a moment.

  A moment ago, he was still walking in the bustling night market, but now he came to this quiet moonlight alley. He really had the illusion of walking in a dream.

  People who love literature and art say that liking a city often starts with liking a certain person in the city; for those who are greedy, liking a city starts with liking the food in the city.

  Ji Que is obviously in favor of the latter, and he has been doing this these days, but at the moment, he prefers the beauty of quiet amidst the noise.

  He really likes the alley in the moonlight.

  Here is the smell of human fireworks that he has always liked.

  Sangshui County, where he lived before, was more than quiet, but not popular, especially after Tang Yi left, it became even more deserted.

  Ji Que was really full from eating, so he stretched out the recliner that he carried with him, and lay down comfortably.

   In front of him was a ditch filled with moonlight, and above his head were slender branches hanging down. With the cool breeze, Ji Que quickly entered a mysterious realm.

  He closed his eyes, but he could clearly feel the mottled walls, the dew on the branches, and in the clear ditch, a fish jumped out of the water and shattered the moonlight.

  At this moment, he thought of Tang Yi.

  He thought of Tang Yi sitting on this reclining chair, that lazy mood, and the state of being one with the chair.

  This is the first time he has been so close to this state, which is very beautiful.

  After that, Ji Que seemed to be possessed by Tang Yi, and he did not leave, nor did he want to leave, so he fell asleep with the night wind and the fragrance of flowers.

   This time, he slept soundly and soundly, more comfortable than sleeping in the letter room of the inn before.

  In the early morning, Ji Que was awakened by a few drops of dew.

  Afterwards, Ji Que came to the ditch, took out wicker, fine salt, and a wooden cup from the book, brushed his teeth and washed.

  He wasn't too worried about whether there was a problem with the water, because he saw someone washing up downstream.

   After washing up, Ji Que stuffed these back again.

  Last night's experience was really good, Ji Que was packing up the baby recliner, while thinking about whether there is a cheap house for rent nearby.

   Until then, he noticed a piece of paper on the wall lying there last night.

  On the old yellow paper, which was half missing, the words "This room is for rent" are written.

   No way, such luck?

  He just wanted to live near here, and there was a room for rent here, so lucky that Ji Que couldn't get used to it.

  After that, he started to rent a house.

   But the piece of paper on the wall was already torn, and there was no information about the owner of the house, and no one answered when he knocked on the door.

  So Ji Que had no choice but to go to the dental broker.

  The so-called broker is an ancient intermediary.

  The brokers in the dental office were very enthusiastic. When they heard that he was going to rent the house there, the owner happened to be entrusting them to rent and sell it, so they immediately took him there.

  The one who was looking at the house with him was a fourteen or fifteen-year-old broker. Like ordinary brokers, he always praised the house.

  The most important thing is that it is very cheap.

  No, it can’t be called cheap, it’s called cost-effective.

  One tael of silver per month, minimum rent for half a year, and only ten taels for the whole year.

  Compared to an inn that costs five cents a night, it’s like whoring for nothing.

  However, on the way forward, Ji Que already had a plan in his heart.

  With this price, the house is probably not very good.

  But because of the reason last night, he has almost decided that if the house is not particularly bad, he should rent it.

  The door of the room that had a relationship with him last night was opened.

  The walls of this courtyard are not high, and the gate is a bit old, but after opening the gate, Ji Que was a little surprised.

  The layout inside is similar to a small courtyard. It can be regarded as a spacious yard. There is a well in the yard. It should prevent falling leaves and sundries, and the well mouth is covered with a wooden cover.

   There is a little dust on the lid, and two stones are pressed on it.

  There is a tall jujube tree on the east side of the yard, which seems to be growing well.

  The little broker next to him hurriedly introduced: "Master, if you had come two months earlier, you should still be able to eat these big and sweet dates."

   "Look at the back again." Ji Que said.

  Outside the back door of the house is a small wasteland.

  The wasteland is overgrown with weeds, and there are some abandoned vegetable fields and gourd racks, which should be left by the previous residents.

   This place is really not too small. Later, Ji Que and the broker went to look at the main room, side room and kitchen, and even the latrine.

  Although there is a layer of fine dust on the inside and outside of the room, in terms of shape and layout, it is even better than my small courtyard in Sangshui County.

   "A place like this, one tael a month? The minimum rent is half a year, and the whole year only costs ten taels? How is this really the same as prostitution?" Ji Que thought about the price and wondered secretly.

  Based on his understanding of the prices and rent in Tianren City, it shouldn't be so cheap.

  So he couldn't help asking: "How can it be so cheap?"

The little broker hurriedly said: "My lord, you are an outsider, and the little ones won't fool you. In Tianren City, the southeast and northwest, the big men like the east city, the rich and elegant like the Qingyun River in the south, and the north side is quite satisfactory. The west side is the cheapest.

How do you say this land boundary, although it is a single-family house, it is indeed a bit biased. The rich look down on it, and the poor simply find a shop to live in. The house is not rented out for a long time, and it is empty, and the owner often No, it’s so cheap”

   "My lord, this land is really good. It's very convenient to turn left and turn a few streets to the night market. Look at this alley, not to mention the fragrance of flowers. It's quiet even in the daytime, without even the slightest yelling.

  The land in the west of the city is the most quiet place in the midst of the hustle and bustle.

  Speaking of the small ones, although this place is a bit far away from places of interest like Qingyun River and Yuhuayan, but the young master wants to live there for a long time. In the words of our locals, those who yearn for those land boundaries come for fun and to follow the trend, and living in this kind of place is called life. "

  Although he knew that this was the trick of the little broker, Ji Que was moved when he heard it.

   He said that he didn't want to rent, but wanted to buy

  Um, why do I always think about buying a house even after time-traveling?

  The little broker saw that he was still hesitant, and continued: "My lord, this house is just a little dusty, and after picking up the decorations, it will definitely look like a new one. The shop just happens to have a cleaning service, and it only costs seven coins to ensure that it is spotless."

  Ji Que asked doubtfully, "Isn't it spotless?"

  In fact, what he was most worried about was the condition of the hut. After seeing it, he couldn't help but hold his nose and said, "Can this one be spotless?"

  The little broker nodded, and said, "Of course it's okay, just need to add some money."

   "Okay, that's it, can you clean it up today?"

   "Guaranteed to be no problem, how long are you going to rent the house for? As soon as I saw it, I knew you were destined for this house."

  Although Ji Que had already made a decision in his heart, he still didn't express his intention to rent it, and said, "Let your people be clean first."

  The little broker was stunned for a moment. This was the first time he had encountered such a thing where the house was cleaned before renting.

   "Don't worry, the cleaning fee will still be calculated."

   "Okay." After hearing this sentence, the little broker naturally stopped hesitating and ran to the shop.

  Ji Que sat on the recliner to rest as usual, and after about two incense sticks, the little broker brought five people over.

   These five people were carrying all kinds of cleaning tools, which looked professional at first glance.

  After about an hour and a half, the whole house really looked brand new.

   A small table and chairs that were previously placed in the house were cleaned and placed in front of a window, Ji Que sat down naturally.

   Sitting here, he can see the scene of the alley.

  On the other side of the road paved with bluestone slabs, there was a little girl about seven or eight years old who was walking along with her father selling flowers.

  She wears a cute little bun and loves to smile. When she smiles, she has two shallow dimples on her face, which is very cute.

   From time to time, people pass by, or ask for flowers to buy flowers, or ignore them, or walk together, or form a single shadow.

  Looking at the simple and unsophisticated people in the alley, listening to the gurgling sound of the ditch in front of the window, Ji Que once again really felt that he was really not in the original time and space.

  Outside the house, the fallen leaves in the small courtyard were swept together, stacking them comfortably.

   This is also the first time after Ji Que left Sangshui County, he felt the urge to settle down again.

   This should be a very suitable place for him to nest for a long time.

  The broker stood aside with a smile, made him a cup of tea with freshly boiled water, and asked, "Guest, the house is almost cleaned, what do you think?"

  Ji Que nodded and said, "Very satisfied."

   "Then how long are you planning to rent, it would be good to live in this place for more than a year."

  Ji Que tapped the slightly old tabletop with his fingers, and asked, "Is this house for sale?"

  Little broker: "!!"
