Chapter 120 The Tyrant Small Clearance (one more)
Gu Jiao glanced at Xiao Liulang.
Xiao Liulang didn't change his face and said, ”I heard the dean of our college said.”
Gu Jiao said to Zhang Baoren: ”My husband's dean has lived in Beijing for more than ten years.”
Zhang Baoren suddenly realized: ”Ah, that's how it is.”
Gu Jiao said, ”Are there any houses on these two streets?”
”Ah, yes, yes...” Zhang Baoren looked at the two of them. They were both plainly dressed. Although one was a student at the Imperial College, he was lame; the other had an extraordinary temperament, but his face was crippled.
These two people... don't have a lot of money, right?
Zhang Baoren smiled: ”Are the two going to enter the house with one entry or two enter the house with one entry?”
Gu Jiao thought for a while, and said, ”We need at least five rooms.”
”That would have to be two or three.” Zhang Baoren laughed, ”Two-entry and three-entry houses are not cheap. Two-entry houses are at least twelve taels a month, and three-entry houses are twenty taels.”
Twelve in the country is enough for one family to eat for one or two years.
But this is the capital city of every inch of land, and Gu Jiao is relieved to think about it.
Gu Jiao asked to take a look.
How does Zhang Baoren think that neither of them seem to have the money, and worry that he will run in vain. Although the other party is a supervised student of the Imperial College, is there a shortage of supervised students in Beijing? The capital city is a place where a plaque can kill three officials when a plaque falls. Zhang Baoren really didn't put Xiao Liulang too much in his eyes.
It's just that he hasn't opened for a few days, and he is still idle, so he simply took the two to go.
Gu Jiao and Xiao Liulang looked at more than a dozen houses, and some were two-in-one and three-in-one, but none of them were very satisfied.
The two returned to the inn.
Zhang Baoren came over and said, ”Do you want to make an appointment today? Later, the students who went back to Beijing to rush the exam arrived, and they didn’t want to rent. Besides, it’s not the price anymore.”
Gu Jiao said: ”It's too small and too biased.”
It is near the Imperial College, but in fact it is not a house on two streets, but in the most remote alley at the end of the street. Not to mention the dark and damp, they are all next to very noisy shops, either iron shops or carpenters shops. , There is even a coffin shop.
How does this make people feel at ease studying?
”At this price, there are only these houses. If you want a better one, you have to count it.” Zhang Baoren made a gesture.
”Thirty taels?” Gu Jiao asked.
”The house where I entered.” Zhang Baoren said.
The first entry is thirty-two, not to mention the second entry and the third entry, it seems that the school districts of any dynasty are extremely expensive.
”Oh.” Zhang Baoren sighed, ”Okay, I will give you the bottom line directly. The houses in Beijing will have this price. Good locations and houses have already been bought by the nobles in Beijing. Those nobles are not bad. Money, you won’t rent out the house! You can only rent out those houses just now if you exchange for a hundred guarantors!”
Gu Jiao asked, ”Didn't you say that there are good houses, but the price is higher?”
Zhang Baoren smiled and said, ”There is a three-entry house, one hundred taels a month.”
Gu Jiao frowned: ”What kind of house requires a hundred taels?”
Zhang Baoren made a gesture: ”Diagonally across from the Imperial College, walk five hundred steps! The former Zhaodu Xiaohouye and the mansion where Juvenile Jijiu lived!”
Xiao Liulang's mouth twitched: ”When did he live?”
Zhang Baoren patted the table and said: ”I just lived! You can make him happy when you live in, and you must pass every exam!”
Xiao Liulang said lightly: ”He has never lived.”
Zhang Baoren rolled up his sleeves: ”How do you know that he has never lived? You are not him!”
”The price is high, up to thirty taels.” Xiao Liulang said indifferently.
Of course, Zhang Baoren understands that his price is high. In the past, it was indeed possible to sell thirty taels, but isn’t this the reopening of the Imperial College? The location is getting expensive again.
The price he had guaranteed was fifty taels. If the family refused, he would look for someone else. He would not believe that the school district near the Imperial College would not be able to rent it out?
”Jiaojiao, where are you?” Xiaojingkong woke up from a nap, rubbing her eyes and came to the lobby of the station to look for Gu Jiao.
Gu Jiao hugged him and rubbed his small head. His hair grew a bit, not a bald head, but a small inch head.
”We are looking at the place where we live.” Gu Jiao said, ”Did you sleep well?”
”Sleep, where do we want to live?” Xiao Jingkong leaned in Gu Jiao's arms, enjoying her touching her little head.
”I don't know yet.” Gu Jiao shook her head.
Xiao Jingkong looked at the drawings on the table again and asked, ”What are these?”
Zhang Baoren smiled and said, ”It's the deed.”
He was worried that the child would damage his things, so he hurriedly reached out to collect the deed.
Xiao Jingkong snorted and said, ”I have this too.”
The three of them were taken aback.
Small clearance ran back to the carriage, digging out a small box from his small cage, took the small box back to the lobby, and placed it on the wooden table in front of the three of them.
The table is a little high, he can't reach it and open it once he put it on.
”I'm coming.” Gu Jiao poked out her hand.
Gu Jiao had seen a few such small boxes when she was packing things for Xiaojingkong at home, but she had not opened them.
”Hmm! Jiaojiao come!” Xiao Jingkong nodded decisively.
Gu Jiao opened the small box. There were a few thumb-sized seals and a few papers in it, but they were not ordinary papers, but the deeds!
All three were surprised.
”Let me see.” Xiao Liulang said.
