At this time, Xizhen had already gone far away, Miss Wu Er quickly walked away, and Yanxi followed all the way from the corridor.Said: "I really have something to say to you." As he said it, he looked forward and saw that Xizhen had turned around the corridor.Then he said: "Did you see my note?" Miss Wu Er smiled and said, "What note? I didn't see it." Yanxi said: "Don't pretend to be stupid. You didn't see the note. Why are you here?" Wu Er The young lady said: "I introduced Mi Siqiu to borrow books from you." Yanxi said: "How does she know that I have movie magazines?" Miss Wu Er said with a smile: "Then how do I know?" He raised his arms upright, held his fists, propped his left face, and giggled.Seeing her like this, Yanxi smiled and said, "Come and sit with me, I have something to tell you." Second Miss Wu gently pushed Yanxi with her hand, and said, "I'll tell Miss Bai, tell you I like to make girlfriends." Yanxi grabbed her with both hands and said, "She can't interfere with me when I make friends." Miss Wu Er grabbed her hands in her arms, turned and left.Instead of walking along the corridor, she stepped out of the small railing and dodged behind a bunch of flower shelves.There was a big electric light on the flower stand, and seeing her put the three fingers of her right hand to her lips, and then slap Yanxi in the opposite direction, she turned around and ran into the courtyard gate.

Yanxi supported the wooden pillar in the corridor with one hand, put one hand in his trouser pocket, and stared blankly at the courtyard.Suddenly someone shouted from behind: "Lao Qi, what are you doing standing here alone?" When Yanxi looked back, it was his elder brother Jin Fengju.He said: "Sitting in the house makes you feel dizzy, come out and take a breath of fresh air." Feng Ju said: "You are lying when you say it. You need to breathe air. There is a big yard at the door of your house, which is much more spacious than here. Why do you still come here? I just saw a woman’s shadow flashing, and there was a sound of leather shoes, didn’t someone come here to talk to you?” Yanxi said: “Obviously you saw it, and you asked me what I did "Feng Ju said: "To be honest, I advise you not to associate with the two of the Wu family. Their nicknames are not very nice." Yanxi said: "What nickname does she have, I haven't heard of it. Yes." Feng Ju said: "I don't need to tell you. If I tell you, you will definitely say that I spread rumors." Yanxi said: "She is not someone I am, why should I do that for her, you just say, she has What nickname?" Feng Ju said: "Don't you know anything?" Yanxi said: "Of course I don't know anything, I want to know, why bother to ask you." Feng Ju smiled and said: "She That nickname is really indecent. Call her..." Yanxi said: "What's her name?" Fengju said: "Cough! It's really ugly to say, her name is Xianshuimei." Yanxi listened With these words, I felt as if I had suffered some kind of loss.Said: "Your words are a little unreliable, I can't believe it." Fengju said: "I know I said it, don't you believe it? It's no wonder that Xi Shi is in the eye of the beholder. Actually, you should investigate Ms. Wu's family background, you know the origin of this. Think about it, her father only has a little errand, and the monthly car fare paid by the two sisters is only half of it. It can make her sisters travel around day and night Is it such a squandering in the field? By analogy, we can think that the money used by the two of them never leaves their own homes. Since the money does not come from their homes, there is no need to talk about it below. I think you and her are not very close, so Tell the truth. Otherwise, I won't say anything." Although Yanxi refused to accept his words, the reasons he gave were extremely sufficient.Said: "Everyone has their own secrets, how can others know. Besides, if this is true, today's treat is for my sister-in-law. Why don't you stop her and let her invite you?" I didn't know, but even if I knew, I wouldn't stop it, because she has invited your sister-in-law several times. I advocate paying back the gift quickly, and avoid dealing with each other in the future. That's why I often say: a few acquaintances listen to the show and fight It doesn't matter if you are a small card, once you get involved in the social vortex, spending money is a trivial matter, the sky is dark, you can't distinguish between day and night, and your body can't bear it. According to what I've heard, these social stars don't apply the method of the Wuzhi sisters, and there is no loss. A few days ago, Miss He took some beads privately and entrusted your sister-in-law to sell them to her. Seeing that the item was worth about three thousand yuan, she sold it for two thousand yuan. Think about it, that of the He family What kind of decent family is this kind of person, so how much should his eldest daughter have in private debts when she sells her jewelry? If this is the case for women, let alone men!" Yanxi said: "Is this true?" Feng Ju Said: "If you don't believe it, you can ask your sister-in-law." Yanxi said: "It's not that I don't believe it, because I saw her entertaining guests in the lobby of Xilai Hotel the day before yesterday. The meal probably cost four to five hundred dollars." Yuan. Since the money is very embarrassing, why spend money like this?" Feng Ju said: "That's the only way, so the deficit is getting bigger and bigger." When Yanxi heard about it, she thought about the reason why they were like this.Seeing that Yanxi bowed her head and said nothing, Feng Ju walked back.Yanxi looked up, but Fengju was not seen, and went back to their rooms.As soon as he returned to his room, he thought of the girl in Luohua Hutong, and thought, what the boss said was really good.If you talk about making girlfriends, it is natural to be a new-style woman in the social arena.But to be a partner for a hundred years and take care of the family affairs, it is better to be more simple.If I marry that girl back, I think her love must be pure and gentle, and she will never be like a woman in a social circle. Not only can she not interfere with her actions, but she will also interfere with yours. Let's do it.As far as looks are concerned, that kind of natural beauty is better than the people who jump out of the powder pile in the social field.Well, that's it.

Having made up his mind, he rang the bell to call Jin Rong in.Said: "I'm critical of you making a small fortune, can you do it?" Jin Rong smiled and said: "Is there anything you can't do to make a fortune?" Yanxi said: "Do it, I know you do it. I'm asking if you can do it?" Jin Rong said: "I don't dare to make promises, I have to ask for your instructions first." Yanxi said: "I want the house at No. 12 in Quanzi Hutong, you go to La Xian Yes, buy that house for me." Jin Rong said: "Seventh Master is talking about a joke, right? What do you want to buy that house for?" Yanxi said: "What jokes are I talking to you, you can buy it with me , do you think how much that house costs?" Jin Rong said: "I don't know whether the house faces east or west, whether it is big or small, how much does it cost?" Yanxi also felt that this question was rash, so she laughed. Said: "I seem to remember that I told you. All right, you go and have a look tomorrow morning, and then reply to my letter." Jin Rong smiled and said: "Who did Qiye hear that the house is sold?" Yanxi said "I didn't hear anyone say it." Jin Rong said: "Then, did you see the advertisement in the newspaper?" Yanxi said: "No." Jin Rong said: "This is not, and that is not, how do you know people The house is for sale?" Yanxi said: "I don't know, I just want to buy it." Jin Rong said: "My lord! How do you see things in the world so easily? This is not a sporadic thing in a shop. , We can buy whatever we want, and they don’t intend to sell, how can I ask the price?” Yanxi said: “I see that house is empty, it’s not for sale, it’s also for rent, go ask, There must be nothing wrong." Jin Rong lowered his head and thought for a while, why did he buy property, isn't this a joke?Oh!Yes.It was very close to Luohua Hutong, probably because it meant to be a neighbor with that person.Then he smiled and said, "I made a guess, and I guessed it in your heart. You are going to buy a house there, and you are going to have a wedding. But there is still an alley across from Luohua Hutong." Yanxi laughed and said, " Don't worry about it, just let me do it." Jin Rong took a step closer and asked with a smile: "Of course you bought this in private and you have to keep it a secret. But have you prepared the cash?" Yanxi said: "My business , I naturally have a solution, so you don’t need to worry too much. I tell you to buy a house, and you can buy a house, and you don’t have to worry about anything else.” Jin Rong didn’t dare to say any more, so he agreed to go out up.

On the next day, according to Yanxi's words, Jin Rong went to see the house at No. 12, Quanzi Hutong.As soon as I got to the door, I saw that the two doors were closed, and there was no post for rent.Looking in through the crack of the door, it was empty and there was no one there.After listening quietly for a while, there was no sound, it seemed like an empty room.He hesitated for a while, not knowing what to do.I thought, since the door is closed from the inside to the outside, there must be someone inside, so I called to try it out, and knocked on the door a few times.Then I heard a coughing sound from inside the door, and it continued, from far to near, kicking, kicking, and footsteps.When he reached the door, the latch snapped off, and another door opened slowly.When Jin Rong looked at it, he stuck out his head, a waxy face, covered with snot and tears, and an old voice came out from the shaggy beard, asking: "Who are you looking for?" He smiled and said, "I'm here to see the house." The old man said, "I'm not renting out this house." After finishing speaking, he shrank his head.Jin Rong was afraid that he would close the door, so he quickly put his foot in, and he also went in.Said: "Aren't you empty here? Why don't you rent?" The old man said: "If people don't want to rent, they don't want to rent. Why do you keep asking?" Jin Rong saw that he was a stubborn old man, so he couldn't be tough with him. superior.Then he took out two cigarettes from his body, handed one to the old man and said, "You smoke." The old man took a cigarette and said, "Do you want to get the lamp?" After touching it, he took out a few matches, rubbed one, and lit a cigarette with Jin Rong.Jin Rong said "excuse me", and lit the cigarette on fire.Then the old man smoked himself.Jin Rong said, "What's your surname?" The old man said, "My name is Lao Li, and I'm a room inspector." Jin Rong said, "I guess so. This kind of thing can't be done without old and honest people. Is there anyone else?" "Old Li said: "There is no one else but me." Jin Rong said: "You are so patient, have you seen a lot of days?" Old Li said: "No! It has been more than two months." Jin Rong Rong walked in while talking.At first glance, it is a large courtyard, which divides the Fenbi into two.There is a locust tree inside and outside, and the house is also very large with corridors.It's just peeling paint and it's pretty old.Walking into the courtyard, there are verandahs on both sides.There is a rocky mountain in the middle, against an upper house in the front, there are two small trees, a grape trellis, and there are two wing houses turning left and right from here.Behind the side room, there are a dozen or so trees of uneven height, all of which are lush and green, reflecting the shade of the courtyard.The grass that grows on the ground is three or four feet long. When a person stands in the grass, the grass is as flat as the belly of a person.Dirty soil and rubble in the grass are piled on the left and piled on the right, everywhere.Take a look, it is really an abandoned courtyard.Inside the haystack, there was a faint smell of mildew.There is no sign of prosperity in this house.Jin Rong was very strange. Except for a few trees, there was nothing in this house that was suitable for my seventh master. Why did he want to buy it when he saw it?Jin Rong took a general look at the front and back, and unexpectedly, the landlord was a wealthy family who planned to renovate the house.Otherwise, what is the purpose of keeping this dilapidated house?Then he asked the old man, "Why don't you rent out this house?" The old man said, "I want to build it up and live in it myself." Jin Rong said, "When will we do it?" , a little annoying.Jin Rong touched his body, took out two dime tickets, handed them to the old man and said, "I'm bothering you, for this little money, I'll let you go to a small teahouse and drink a pot of water." The old man said, "What do you want? You spend money." When he said that, he rubbed his skinny palms, looked at the dime bills and smiled.Taking advantage of this, Jin Rong stuffed it into the old man's hands.The old man put away the money ticket and said with a smile: "I was called by the prince who collected the house money here, and I don't know the owner. If you want to inquire about things here, you can find the prince. He often comes these days, When you come, just stay in the big wine tank at the entrance of the alley. You can go to the big wine tank to find him, there is no mistake." Jin Rong said: "How do I know him?" The old man said: "He looks easy to recognize, his face is full of wine. Pao, with a big red nose, around 30 years old, speaks with a Shandong accent. There is no other person like him in that big wine tank." When he was speaking, there was a jingle of small gongs.Hearing the sound, outside the courtyard wall, probably in a small alley, the coppersmith's burden passed by.Jin Rong said: "What's the place outside the wall?" The old man said: "It's Luohua Hutong." Jin Rong understood in his heart, and thought: Our Seventh Master really thought about this matter carefully.Looking at this house, from the front door to the back wall, I have been looking at it for a week.Now that I have made such a stupid idea, I probably won't give up until I get the house.The old man said: "You want to inquire about this, do you want to rent this house?" Jin Rong replied vaguely: "Yes. But since the landlord wants to build a house, it can't be rented." The old man said: "It doesn't matter, If you exercise, you will become a prince." Then he said in a low voice: "We are all people who work with others, what do you not understand?" Jin Rong nodded with a smile, and walked out of the gate Come.The old man also said: "If you come again, just knock on the door, I will stay here all day long." Jin Rong knew that it was the power of the few cents, so he agreed to go with a smile.He thought, since he came here, he might as well get things done thoroughly, so he went to the big wine tank to drink first, and asked when Wang would come.

It was also a coincidence that in less than half an hour, a man with a face of wine lees came from outside.Jin Rong looked at him like that, just like what the old man said.Seeing him enter the door, Jin Rong quickly stood up and gave way.Seeing Jin Rong's appearance, the man guessed that he was a friend of the same way, so he nodded.Jin Rong said: "Is your surname Wang?" The man said: "Yes, my name is Wang Desheng. Your honor recognizes me?" Jin Rong said: "It seems that there will be a meeting there, but I can't remember it." After speaking, he asked Wang When Desheng sat down, he first ordered a pot of Baigan for him.When Wang Desheng saw someone asking him to drink, he was overjoyed, thinking that Jin Rong came to make friends sincerely.He only gave in for a while, and he was at ease.Jin Rong said: "Let me inquire about something with you. Does the house at No. 12 in the circle alley belong to your owner?" Wang Desheng said: "Yes." Jin Rong said: "It's there now, why don't you rent it out? " Wang Desheng said: "The owner wants to rebuild a new one." Jin Rong said: "I also know, but the house is always empty, when will it be rented out? Anyway, if it is built and rented out, it will get money. If it is not built, it will be rented out." If you rent it out, you will get money. If someone wants to rent it now, I think it’s good to rent it out.” Wang Desheng knew that he wanted to rent the house, so he said, “That’s true. But the landlord wants to build a new one before renting it out. He has his plans, how do we know." Jin Rong said: "I have a business to be done in this circle alley, for a while, there is no house to rent here, so there is no way. It just so happens that your house is vacant, So I really want to rent it here. As for the rent, it is easy to discuss." Wang Desheng thought for a while, and knew that he must have some important business, so he must rent this house.He said: "My boss has a lot of houses, and he doesn't care about the rent." Jin Rong said: "This is what we buddies are talking about, so there is no need to hide it. I think the prince can be the master of your boss. As long as you can make do, you must It can be done successfully. Otherwise, this house will be in a mess. If your owner can sell it, the price will be one level, as long as it is up to you, it doesn't matter." Seeing that he simply went further and wanted to buy this house, Wang Desheng thought to himself I was surprised.I thought to myself, is there a baby in my house?Why is it so important to look like this?So I lost the house and didn't talk about it, and slowly asked who Jin Rong's boss was, and why the wedding was not held?From the beginning to the end, the cross-examination was endless.Jin Rong thought, if he didn't explain what he said, Wang Desheng would definitely do it as a business to get rich, and he would never agree on it for the rest of his life.Then he explained that this house is for the young master to live in.As for the purpose of living here, it is to marry a girl nearby as a concubine.Wang Desheng drank a few glasses of wine, he was a little drunk, and asked with a smile: "I'll ask, which family is the girl from?" Jin Rong said: "I don't know, anyway, it's not far from this house." Wang Desheng thought about it After thinking about it, she said with a smile: "Oh! I see, it must be from the Leng family in Luohua Hutong. She is considered beautiful in these two alleys. The house she lives in is also ours. No wonder your young master wants to live in it." This house is gone. Since it is your Jinfu who wants to buy it, and there is plenty of money, as long as you are willing to pay, I will advise you to sell it." Jin Rong said: "Then, how much do you think it will cost?" Wang Desheng said: "Probably more than 10,000 yuan?" Jin Rong said with a smile: "This house, the house is useless, and there is only a piece of land left. How can it be worth a lot?" Wang Desheng said: "In general terms, I'm afraid it's not only worth four or five thousand yuan, but now you want to buy one, and don't sell the other, how can you not pay a big price? Besides, let me just say something, I don't know what the owner means." Jin Rong saw it. Some eyebrows, more and more nailed down.We made an appointment tomorrow morning to meet here again.Today, everyone told the owner to discuss this matter.

At that time, after meeting the wine money, I walked home and told Yanxi all about it.Yanxi was overjoyed, and immediately asked Jin Rong to pay for the car, took Jin Rong in the car, and went to Quanzi Hutong to look at the house.Yanxi went in and had a look, and felt that the house was too old.But as soon as he got to the backyard, he looked at the neighbor, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face, as if he remembered something.So he took Jin Rong and walked around to the back of the house in Luohua Hutong to look around for a while, and it turned out that the row of trees he saw the night before yesterday was exactly the backyard.That house is next door to Leng's house.On the other side of Leng's house, I remembered a boundary stone, and at this moment, I saw that it was at the corner of the wall.Looking at the characters on the boundary stone, it is exactly the same as the characters on the boundary stone at the foot of the wall here. They are also the four characters of Sanhuaitang boundary.Yanxi smiled and said to Jin Rong: "The one surnamed Wang, didn't he say that the house that Leng's family lives in also belongs to him? It looks really good. You tell him, I bought them all." Jin Rong said: "There is a broken house over there. He wants 10,000. Although the house here is small, it’s good. Don’t you want three or four thousand?” Yanxi said, “Why do you and I feel sorry for spending money? You only want to make things right. That's it." Yanxi looked at it once, and she was really happy.Thinking in his heart, let him send him 10,000, anyway, the total value is 6,000 to 7,000, and the losses are limited, it is only a big bet lost.I remember that I still have six to seven thousand yuan in my savings account, and I borrowed three or four thousand yuan from various places, which is not worth anything, so this matter is settled.After reading it and planning it again, I am very happy.He didn't ask anything when he got home, he just went back to the bedroom and settled his account.But in the small safe under the bed, I took out the passbook and looked at it. I was very disappointed, and there was only more than 2,000 yuan in it.I was so confused, I thought, how can I spend a lot of money?Then from the beginning to the end, I looked at the account and felt that it was similar.At this time, there was a grinding sound on the glass window.Suddenly looking up, I saw a figure in a flowered dress outside the window.Yanxi asked: "Who?" Someone outside the window replied with a smile: "It's me." Yanxi smiled and said: "Xiao Lian, come in, I have something to say to you." Xiao Lian said: "I won't come in What do you want?" Yanxi said: "It's really something, you come in." Xiao Lian said: "Coincidentally! I'm here, you have something to do. If I don't come, who will you call?" Yanxi Xidao: "If you don't believe me, I can't help it. I'll do it myself." Xiao Lian said: "Is there really something wrong? Come in as soon as you come in, you can't eat me anyway." When he said that, he came in with a smile.Yanxi saw that she was wearing an Indian cloth gown with blue bamboo leaves printed on the white background, and said with a smile: "I was shocked, I'm afraid it's the appearance of Guanshiyin from the South China Sea." Xiao Lian smiled and said: "This is a new one I made. A piece of clothing, do you like it?" Yanxi said: "Yes! It's very good! Didn't I say that it looks like Guanyin?" Xiao Lian said: "You are laughing at me, how can you say it is good?" Yanxi smiled and said, "Don't move, let me take a closer look." Then she stood up, tilted her head and looked carefully at Xiao Lian's whole body.Xiao Lian said: "I know you're fine." After finishing speaking, she turned around and was about to run away.Yanxi grabbed her clothes and said, "It's really important, don't run away." Then, she picked up the passbook thrown on the sofa chair, handed it to Xiao Lian, and said, "Excuse me, please help me." I'll do the math carefully, are there any mistakes in the accounts?" Xiao Lian said: "Why don't you count it yourself?" Yanxi said: "I'm a careless person, a few cents, I think it's troublesome and lazy I can do the math. But it’s not a few cents, and I can’t add up the total. I know you have the most delicate heart, so please do the math.” Xiao Lian smiled and closed one of her left eyes, Pushing his mouth again, he said, "Stop filling the rice soup." Yanxi said, "It's weird! Where did you learn the word filling rice soup?" When speaking, she held Xiao Lian's hand and smiled. Said: "Why should I pour your rice soup?" Xiao Lian waved his hand and said: "Don't make trouble, let people see it, what will it look like? Do you want me to count or not? If you want me to count, you just sit on the side and don't allow it." Move. Don’t count on me, I’ll leave.” After speaking, he twisted his body and turned his face outward, as if he wanted to leave.Yanxi quickly rushed forward, blocked the door, stretched out her hands, and said, "Don't go! Don't go! I'll let you do the math. I'll sit on the side and don't move. Isn't that okay?" Xiao Lian said: "That's fine. ” So he sat at the table and calculated the accounts in the passbook with a pen.When she settled the accounts, she still couldn't help but glance at Yanxi, to see whether he was moving or not.Yanxi just smiled, and as soon as she got together, Xiao Lian threw the pen and ran away.He ran out of the window and said, "I know you're going to make a move." Yanxi said in the room, "I told you to settle the score, why didn't you finish it and run away?" Xiao Lian said, "I'll take care of it." It's over, there is nothing wrong." Yanxi said: "What is the total?" Xiao Lian said: "Isn't it clearly written in the passbook? Why do you ask me?" When she said that, the person had already walked away.Yanxi said to herself: "This thing likes to tease people. After teasing people, she wants to run away again. It's very hypocritical. One day I will always clean her up!" Looking up suddenly, she saw Zhang Shun standing in front of her, I couldn't help but blushed.Said: "What are you doing here?" Zhang Shun said: "Didn't Master Qi call me?" Yanxi said: "Who called you?" Zhang Shun smiled and said: "You are still ringing the bell." Yanxi looked down , Sure enough, I pressed my hand on the electric bell.He smiled and said, "My name is Jin Rong." Zhang Shun said, "Didn't Qi Ye tell him to go out?" Yan Xi said, "Forget it."Yanxi picked up the savings account, looked at the amount again, and thought, this amount is far from the budget, how can I buy a house?Now there are only two ways, the first way is to overdraft in the bank, and the second way is to borrow piecemeal.However, if you are afraid of hitting a snag in the first move, you should carry out the second move.He had made up his mind, so he implemented the second move.
