He was betrayed at the beginning, from a cake seller to a wealthy person

Driven by money, Yaren showed extremely high professionalism and showed the two of them several sets, all of which met Lu Yan's requirements.

Lu Yan finally decided on the one closest to Gongyuan, about a twenty-minute walk. There is a well and a kitchen in the yard. Although it is a one-story house, there are five rooms. The whole yard is very spacious, which is quite worthwhile.

Lu Yan was quite satisfied, and Yaren was even more satisfied. The two quickly signed the deed, which lasted for half a year. From now on, the right to use the house belongs to Lu Yan.

After the two settled on the house, they were ready to drive back.

On the way, Lu Sheng asked: "Isn't it a bit of a loss to rent for half a year?"

Lu Yan laughed and said: "It's no loss. If you pass the exam, we will go to the capital, but there are many scholars who have passed the exam and come to study in the state. When the time comes, you can rent it out and become a second landlord."

Lu Sheng nodded thoughtfully: "Yes."

The two traveled for another three days before returning to Yaoshan County.

The next day when Lu Sheng went to school in the county, he asked Song Bowen and Xue Zhuoyuan if they had a place to live during the exam.

Song Bowen looked confused: "You went to do this so early?"

"It's getting late." Lu Sheng said, "You don't know, almost all the inns where we go are fully booked."

Song Bowen was shocked: "What!"

Because Song Bowen has relatives in the county town, he always lived directly with his relatives during the exams before. Xue Zhuoyuan's family is directly in the county town, so the two of them had never worried about where they lived before.

Xue Zhuoyuan was shocked when he heard that the inn was gone: "What should we do? Where did you book it?"

Lu Sheng: "Lu Yan and I went to Yahang to find a yard and rented it for half a year. There were five houses. Lu Yan wanted to come over and cook food for me. She said it would be safer to do it herself. I want to ask if you have any. Do you want to fight with us for a place to live?”

Song Bowen nodded wildly: "I want it! I will fight with you!"

Xue Zhuoyuan also said: "I originally planned to live with my relatives, but if you have a yard, I would like to fight for it, so I won't disturb them."

Song Bowen was still a little confused: "The inn is fully booked, but the house has not been rented out?"

"When we went there, there were also scholars asking for rent in Yahang. Yahang was driving up prices, saying that even if you rent for one month, you would have to pay for half a year. They were so angry that a few scholars left directly." Lu Sheng said, "Lu Yan and I rented directly. For half a year."

Xue Zhuoyuan was stunned: "How much will it cost?"

Lu Sheng stretched out his hand and gestured: "Lu Yan gave him fifty taels."

Song Bowen breathed a sigh of relief: "Hey, I thought it was just fifty taels! Renting fifty taels for half a year is not a loss!"

Lu Sheng couldn't help but laugh: "You have made money now. Those scholars who are not doing business can't say this."

Song Bowen chuckled: "Don't call me a villain. It's precisely because they can't afford the rent that we have the opportunity to rent. If every scholar can afford this money, do you believe that even the yard will be gone?"

"Letter." Lu Sheng nodded: "That's it."

Several people agreed to live in Lu Sheng and Lu Yan's yard, and one of them gave Lu Sheng seventeen taels of silver.

No matter how he calculated, Lu Sheng gave him too much: "Twelve and a half taels is enough."

Song Bowen disagreed: "Then Miss Lu is cooking for you, can you miss out on us? She doesn't have to take exams, so she is just here to help us. Of course her share belongs to the three of us, how can we let Did she do it herself?"

Xue Zhuoyuan echoed: "That's right."

Lu Sheng had no choice but to collect the money. He went home and gave the money to Lu Yan, and told Lu Yan what they had said.

It was no surprise that Lu Yan accepted the money. Song Bowen, Xue Zhuoyuan, including Chu Tiankuo who is not going this time, have always been upright people. Lu Sheng himself was very loose, and even stingy people wouldn't be able to play with him.

In August, in order to adapt to the environment first, several people arrived a few days early. A rented house is not like an inn. You have to bring your own bedding, and you have to clean it up after you leave.

In order to ensure food safety, all the meals eaten by these people were cooked by Lu Yan. Lu Yan wanted to bring a kitchen with a well just to facilitate cooking.

Lu Yan has also been cooking very lightly these days, avoiding heavy oil and salt, and definitely not irritating the stomach. At most, it is half-vegetarian dishes like stir-fried shredded pork with hot peppers.

The day before entering the venue, several people said they couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to go out for a walk. Hengyun City has a special night market planned. Lu Yan agrees that everyone can go out for a walk, but they are not allowed to eat outside.

It was also the first time for Lu Yan to visit Hengyun City at night. The dazzling array of small vendors seemed quite attractive at first glance, but upon closer inspection, there was nothing new.

Lu Yan suddenly saw a tall building in the distance, about five stories high. In ancient times when the average building was two or three stories high, five stories was quite attractive.

There are many red lanterns hanging upstairs, and the carved beams and painted buildings are so impressive. Lu Yan was curious and asked several people: "What is that building for?"

Lu Sheng, who had never been here before, looked confused and shook his head.

The well-informed Song Bowen and Xue Zhuoyuan looked at each other and coughed lightly.

Lu Yan was confused: "What's wrong? Do you two know?"

Song Bowen looked a little embarrassed: "That is the largest brothel in the entire Hengyun City, the famous Mingyue Tower."

Lu Yan suddenly realized that this was where she was! The place where the heroine is in trouble.

Lu Yan became curious and wanted to go to Mingyue Tower to see what it was like. The three of them all looked at each other: "It's not good."

"I will go by myself, but you are not allowed to go." Lu Yan said, "I will just take a look outside. If I don't go in, you can find a place here and wait for me to come back."

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief, but Lu Sheng was a little worried about Lu Yan going alone. It was late at night, and He Wenjing was not brought with her this time, so he had to go with her.

Finally, Song Bowen and Xue Zhuoyuan found a tea stall and sat waiting, while Lu Yan and Lu Sheng walked towards Mingyue Tower.
