treacherous world

Newlyweds buying a house should pay attention to Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang recalling the scene when they first met, a little lost in thought.

At the same time, Xiao Liu Gululu who was kicked in rolled to the feet of everyone.

"Oh..." Xiao Liu rubbed his chest, "Why are you kicking me?!"

Everyone looked out, and saw that the man who barged in was a tall and thick man, and he didn't seem to be a Han Chinese. He was dressed in exotic clothes, his hair was sallow and curly, and he had a beard.

"Hmph, your store is too deceitful. I asked you if you have a private room, but you said it was useless. These people obviously came later than me. Why do they have it, but I don't?"

"Aren't you reasonable?" Xiao Liu rubbed his chest and stood up, he wasn't afraid at the moment, thinking that there are so many masters here, why are you afraid of you, a foreigner?Arguing with him, "This private room has been booked by a customer for a long time, of course you don't have it!"

"Huh." The foreigner sneered, "You Han people are really dishonest. I was cheated when I bought a house, and now I have to be cheated when I have a meal. It's too much! Today I will teach you guys a lesson..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhan Zhao suddenly asked, "Did you get cheated when you bought a house?"

The foreigner was stunned for a moment, curled his lips, "Yes!"

Zhan Zhao turned to Bai Yutang and said, "Recently there have been a few cases in Kaifeng where people were cheated when buying a house."

Bai Yutang frowned slightly, recently he and Zhan Zhao also wanted to set up a separate house in Kaifeng Mansion, and live in their own mansion for a few days after getting engaged, so as to avoid being listened to by those guys in Kaifeng Mansion or Bai Mansion.And since the two of them have already made a decision for life, they should have something together.

"Where did you buy the house?" Zhan Zhao has been paying attention to this matter recently, mainly because he has set his sights on the halfway between Kaifeng Mansion and Bai Mansion. All the deceptive incidents that occurred in the sky were all in that area with a better boundary.

"It's near the so-called Huangcheng Road." The big man was very dissatisfied, "Someone else's house was resold to me, and after paying the deposit, he said someone robbed him, and hurriedly paid the money, and he actually ran away with the money? !"

When Bao Yan heard that this was not a lie, he asked, "Oh, how much money have you been cheated of?"

Hearing this, the big man became even more angry, and stretched out a finger.

"100 taels?" Pang Yu blinked.

The big man grinned, "More than that!"

"1000 taels?" Bao Yan was surprised, "Hurry up and report to the officials!"

The big man's face turned red and white, "More!"

Everyone looked at each other, "1 taels?!"

The big man's face was wrinkled into a bun, and his face was full of grief, "I think I came from a long way from the Western Regions. Although I made a lot of money doing transportation, it was hard-earned money. There are many bandits in the desert. It would be risking my life to go there. If you catch that liar, you won’t be able to spare him!”

The fourth son on the side opened his mouth, "A lot of money was cheated!"

Yin Hou laughed, and looked at the sympathetic Tianzun beside him, "At least a man cheated out of 1 taels for a house, and you only get 1000 taels for a painting."

Tianzun was poked at the sore spot, "Then it's the liar's deception, what does it have to do with me!"

Yin Hou pursed his lips, looked up at the sky, and said in his heart - people who are cheated usually have some responsibility themselves.

"Why didn't you report to the official?" Bao Yan frowned.

"You Song people are all in the same group!" The big man was clearly angry.

Bao Yan and Pang Yu looked at each other and asked him, "What's the name of the person who lied to you?"

"My surname is Wei, and my name is Wei Guang."

Pang Yu thought about it carefully, touched his chin, "Wei Guang... I seem to have heard of it somewhere."

Bao Yan waved to him, "I'll take you to Kaifeng Mansion to report to the officials, Master Bao will help you get the money back!"

"Really?" The big man was pleasantly surprised, but he seemed a little skeptical.

"Oh, of course." The little six on the side added fuel, "Our Mr. Bao is fair and honest. It is against the law to cheat money. Naturally, you will get it back for you!"

Everyone sat down to talk, the tall man was named Chi Luo, and after careful questioning, he had some relationship with Yin Hou's former friends, and everyone got along well.There are also a few big friends next door. When I asked, they were all cheated of money.

Zhan Zhao rested his chin and wondered, "Recently, there are so many deceiving people by selling houses and land deeds?"

"That's not true." Pang Yu raised his eyebrows, "Kaifeng mansion can be regarded as every inch of land and every inch of gold, after all, it is under the feet of the emperor."

"That house is expensive too?" Zhan Zhao thought about his little savings.

Yin Hou glared at him, "What are you afraid of? What do you want Grandpa to buy for you."

Zhan Zhao was helpless, muttering, "That's not what I said, of course I bought this kind of house myself."

Yin Hou still wanted to talk, but Tianzun pulled him, "Oh, you care about so many children's affairs."

The fourth son grabbed Pang Yu and asked earnestly, "Little Fatty, is the house expensive?"

"That's it, little four." Pang Yu patted him on the head, "These days, ordinary people buy a house after working for a lifetime, otherwise they can only go to the fields and build a straw shed by themselves."

The fourth son was startled, "Then how much is the house with a tiled roof in Kaifeng now?"

Seeing his small appearance, Pang Yu seemed to be worried that he could not afford to buy a house, so he thought it was fun, so he said, "That's precious, at least there is a thousand 800 taels."

=0=, the fourth son was shocked, he only had pocket money of a few taels of silver every month, and he spent all the food and small things on weekdays.

Bao Yan glared at Pang Yu, "Stop talking nonsense about you!" He comforted the little four, "Don't listen to his little four, a common house of 80 taels is enough, and you can build your own house in a farther place It's cheaper. Besides, you still have Xiaoyao Island and the house in your hometown. Are you afraid that you will have no place to live in the future? Kaifeng Mansion has the Nine Princes Mansion, don't they all belong to you, a little rich man, and you are a hereditary little prince, In the future, there will be a big house and a courtyard for you.”

The fourth son didn't understand, he tilted his head, "Why?"

Pang Yu smiled, "The emperor's relatives, senior officials and rich salary, of course you have a share."

The fourth son pouted, "I don't want it, I want to buy a house with Xiao Liangzi, and it's okay to live in a small grass shed."

"Hey." Yin Hou stretched out his hand and pinched his cheek, "Okay, you have ambition."

"Oh." Chi Luo also sighed, "I just want to buy this house as a wedding house. My wife is newly married and I want to bring her to live in Kaifeng instead of blowing the wind in the desert. I didn't expect... this Goddamn movie!"

Bao Yan and Pang Yu put down their chopsticks, and took Chi Luo back to Bao Zheng in Kaifeng Mansion to report the crime.

Yin Hou continued shopping with Tianzun and the fourth son, and the fourth son was responsible for keeping an eye on Tianzun to prevent him from being cheated.Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao were left with other things to do, they were going to pick a house.

Bai Yutang took out a list from his pocket and showed it to Zhan Zhao, "Cat, I asked Pang Yu to look for it, and he said that the houses in these places are all good."

"En." Zhan Zhao took it and looked at it carefully.

Walking along the way, everyone came to the vicinity of Huangcheng Road. This road is very rich, because walking straight ahead is the main street of the Imperial Palace. There are many shops around, but the houses are quite quiet in the alleys, so there are some quiet places in the middle of the noise. the meaning of.It is also convenient to enter and exit, and it is close to Kaifeng Mansion and Baifu Mansion.

In Kaifeng, Pang Yu was able to enjoy all kinds of teaching and learning. Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao followed his introduction and went door to door to look at houses.

The first one is at the intersection, and I think the place is okay, but the gate is too ostentatious and deserves a beating.

Bai Yutang decided to go in and have a look, anyway, the gate can be changed, at worst it is sealed, so he climbed over the wall and entered.

The owner of the house has already received news that a friend of the young master is coming to prescribe the prescription, and he has been waiting in the house for a long time.

As soon as he stepped into the gate, Zhan Zhao was a little dumbfounded, seeing the dead grass all over the yard, it was so scary.

Bai Yutang also frowned, "How long has this house been unoccupied?

The owner said happily, "Oh, no one has lived in it since the owner died ten years ago."

Zhan Zhao was startled, "How did the master die?"

The homeowner pointed to a dry well in the yard, "He jumped into the well and died."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other, and hurriedly changed rooms, the wedding room can't be used as a haunted house, although they didn't care, but they couldn't stand the weirdness.

When I went to the second house to see the house, the inside of the house was too magnificent. At first glance, it was the house left by a certain official after he was killed. The walls were probably full of people's fat.

Both shook their heads—it was so tacky, it wasn't interesting at all.

Then he went on and came to another house.After entering the door, everything was good, but Bai Yutang saw a few big water ants on the ground, so he hurriedly told Zhan Zhao that this house was bad, and it would collapse sooner or later.

The two of them wandered around until sunset, Zhan Zhao found a tea shed by the side of the road and sat down, ordered two bowls of small wontons, and beat his legs, "I'm exhausted, I've never been so tired from catching thieves. "

Bai Yutang also sat down, "Isn't there a good house to sell in Kaifeng?!"

The two were complaining, when they saw a middle-aged man appearing from nowhere, came to the table and asked, "You two, do you want to buy a house?"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked up at the man together, he seemed to be a businessman, so he nodded, "Yes."

"If you don't care about the high price, there are several very good mansions below." The man smiled.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang thought about it, and asked him together, "Brother, what's your name?"

"Oh, my surname is Wei, and each name has a character of Guang."

Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang's heart skipped a beat—is there such a coincidence?

"How do you address the two of you?" Wei Guang knew him well, so he sat down and talked with Zhan Zhao Bai Yutang.

Zhan Zhao wondered, this person didn't even know him, so he must be a stranger?If it is a liar, it is probably a procrastination, and someone has to instigate it behind it.

Bai Yutang replied, "My surname is Bai, and his surname is Zhan."

"While it's still early, why don't I take the two of you to see the house, I have two good ones on hand."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang nodded and agreed to go with him, but they were sneering in their hearts, this is called Hell has no way, you are sidetracking, you can be regarded as a liar who has been caught.

The two followed Wei Guang forward, and sure enough, they returned to the corner of Huangcheng Street. This place is more secluded than the place where they looked at the house just now, but it is better built.

"And this place?" Bai Yutang also looked at it for the first time.

"Aren't these houses owned by people?" Zhan Zhao wondered...these are all private houses, why are they sold?

"Hehe." Wei Guang smiled mysteriously, "The house is not good, so I dare not show it to the adults. Don't worry, others entrusted me to sell these houses, and there is nothing wrong with them."

With that said, he led Zhan Zhao and the others into the first house.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw that the garden was full of flowers and the ground was spotless. Compared with what Zhan Zhao and the others saw before, this house was a haunted house.

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao were speechless inwardly - they thought that there is still such a good place? !

"It's a bit bigger." Bai Yutang looked around and asked Wei Guang, "It's just the two of us, is there a smaller one?"

"Yes, there is a very delicate little house." Wei Guang took the two of them out.

Zhan Zhao asked Bai Yutang in a low voice, "Small house? Are you used to living in a big house?"

Bai Yutang smiled, "Of course I'm used to it."

"Don't choose the cheap one just because you accommodate me." Zhan Zhao pouted, "I still have some money."

Bai Yutang made him amused, and put his hand on his shoulder, "It takes a lot of effort to tidy up the big house, but the small house is different. Anyway, it's just the two of us. If you don't think it's lively enough, you can raise two cats."

When Zhan Zhao heard the phrase "Just the two of us", he felt inexplicably better--isn't it just the two of us living here, free and easy!It really belongs to their world.

As Wei Guang walked forward a few more steps, there was some faint thunder in the sky, as if it was going to rain heavily.

Wei Guang took the two of them to the well in the alley, opened a big house for the two to enter, and then closed the door.

The gate of this house left a very good impression on Zhan Zhao Bai Yutang.First of all, there are no silly plaques in front of the house, and it is not ostentatious at all. The door frame, door, and steps in front of the house are all very delicate and clean.

As soon as you enter the door, you can see that the yard is not planted with flowers, but green pines and cypresses. The eaves and walls are all exposed buildings. The interlaced wooden beams have a special beauty and are simple.

There are a few stone carvings in the courtyard that are particularly funny. They are pictures of cats and mice carved in stone.

Zhan Zhao saw it at a glance, squinted his eyes and smiled at Bai Yutang, his expression seemed to say - let's go here, let's go here!

At this time, the sky was filled with thunder and dark clouds.

Wei Guang turned around and asked Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, "Do you want this house? This is a unique and good house in Kaifeng."

Zhan Zhao took a look inside and outside the Baiyu Hall, feeling very satisfied, this house is in line with their preferences in every aspect, especially the big bed and big screen in the bedroom.The big bed is enough for a person to roll back and forth a dozen or twenty times. How did you make such a big bed?The screen around the bed turned out to be a picture of a black cat and a white mouse. No matter how you look at it, it was specially made for the two of them!

Bai Yutang rubbed his chin, raised his eyebrows at Zhan Zhao——OK!

Zhan Zhao was also satisfied, the size was just right, and he felt like home, so he asked Wei Guang, "What's the price of this house?"

"2 taels of silver." Wei Guang offered the price.

Bai Yutang felt that it was a bit expensive, but it was passable.

Zhan Zhao thought that he might be able to come up with 1 taels, but he had to bargain with him, "Could it be cheaper?"

"My young master, many people value this house."

Bai Yutang asked, "When will people be able to live here?"

"You can do it at any time. You can pay the money with one hand and the house with the other hand." Wei Guang was also straightforward, "If you can't raise that much money at once, you can pay the deposit first."

"How much is the deposit?"

Wei Guang stretched out three fingers, "Thirty percent."

"It's enough to pay you once." Bai Yutang said, "We want it right away. Bring your title deed."

Wei Guang was taken aback, Zhan Zhao narrowed his eyes and looked at Bai Yutang, as if asking——do you carry so much money with you?

Bai Yutang smiled helplessly, in fact, he came out with silver in order to avoid Tianzun from buying something again.

The expression on Wei Guang's face also became strange, so he asked, "Guys, don't you have 2 taels on you right now?"

Bai Yutang nodded.

"Oh, then I have to go get the land deed and house deed, you two wait a moment." After finishing speaking, he hurried out.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang didn't move, they followed him secretly.

Wei Guang turned around three times and ran into a small building at the entrance of the alley.Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang fell outside the window to eavesdrop.

Looking in through the crack of the window, I saw two men inside.Zhan Zhao recognized it at a glance, and he wondered who it was, it turned out to be a local ruffian from Kaifeng.

One of them was Er Dan, who blocked the road and robbed him a while ago, and was imprisoned by Mr. Bao for half a year. After a spanking, he blossomed.The adults ordered him not to walk on the street again.

The other one is a habitual thief named Liu Kai, who can open all kinds of door locks. He is in the same cell as Er Dan, and he is probably just released.

As soon as Wei Guang entered the room, he said to Erdan and Liu Kai, "Boss, I met a fat sheep!"

Zhan Zhao raised an eyebrow at Bai Yutang—call you a fat sheep!

Bai Yutang reached out to pinch his face, but Zhan Zhao quickly pinched his fingers.

"Fat sheep?" Erdan suddenly regained his energy, and picked up the knife, "Go, give his grandma a vote, we will leave Kaifeng after earning enough money, and make a mountain to occupy the mountain and become the king, saving the money." Bao Heizi kept staring at us." Zhan Zhao sneered, raised an eyebrow at Bai Yutang...the two went back to the small house and waited.

Sure enough, after a while, Wei Guang came back with the two of them. He wanted to rob him, but when he saw that it was Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, the bastard and Liu Kai turned around and ran away.

But how could he run away? Zhan Zhaohao beat him up, tied him up with a rope and threw him at the intersection, waiting for someone from Kaifeng Mansion to take him back.

It turned out that most of the houses on this trip were empty houses without people.

Liu Kai unlocked the door, and Wei Guang was a procrastinator, tricking people into seeing the house.They had been cheating money before, but this time they thought of robbery, so they were caught.Because Erdan and Liu Kai are habitual offenders, people on the street know them and know that what they did will not be a good thing, so Erdan specially asked his relative from a foreign country to help, that is Wei Guang.Unexpectedly, Wei Guang didn't recognize Zhan Zhaobai Yutang, so he invited the deadly King of Hades back home, and came to throw himself into a trap.

After being escorted away, Zhan Zhao looked back at the hut, feeling a little regretful, it would be great if it was really sold.

At this moment, it began to rain patter from the sky, Bai Yutang pulled Zhan Zhao, "Cat, take shelter from the rain here."

Zhan Zhao asked him to pull him into the hut, and the two stood side by side under the eaves.

Bai Yutang wanted to take a closer look at the house. If Zhan Zhao really liked it, he would find the owner no matter what, and try to find a way to buy it at a high price.

At this time, the rainwater gathered on the eaves and fell into raindrops. It turned out that the eaves had a special design, and the water droplets rolled down and hit the five water tanks under the house.And there are fish, turtles and white lotus in the water tank... The water drops fall on the lotus leaves and roll left and right, which is very vivid.

The stone sculptures on the side are also vivid, and there are many stone sculptures of mice and kittens hidden in the grass.

"Does the owner of this house like mice and cats so much?" Zhan Zhao wondered.

Bai Yutang also felt strange.

"Look at the decorations in the room too, either white or blue, and those blue and white porcelains, mouse and cat carvings everywhere..."

While talking, he heard rustling sounds coming from the door, as if someone was about to open the door to come in, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other - maybe the original owner of the house had returned.In order to avoid embarrassment, the two quietly hid under the eaves to avoid being misunderstood.

Sure enough, after a while, the door was pushed open.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang took a closer look at the person who came in, and were stunned - they all knew each other!One is Zhao Yuan, and the other is Xiaoyu from Kaifeng Mansion.Behind him are two men holding umbrellas, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu.

"There really are kitten candlesticks." Xiaoyu held two white jade cat candlesticks, "Unfortunately, there are no little mouse candlesticks."

"I made it to order, and it will be delivered tomorrow, so it can be put in the house before the engagement wine."

Xiaoyu and Zhao Yuan ran into the yard, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu put away their umbrellas and looked up, seeing Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang saying to them, "Hush..."

The two smiled, understood, and pretended not to see them.

Xiaoyu smiled and pulled Zhao Yuan out, "Princess, Mr. Zhan and Fifth Master Bai must like this gift, Mr. Bao is more thoughtful and knows to ask the princess to decorate it."

"I've wanted to decorate a room for them for a long time." Zhao Yuan covered her mouth, "It would be even better if I could visit the bridal chamber... I really want to see it!"

Xiaoyu covered her mouth, "I'm so ashamed, don't talk nonsense."

The two happily locked the door and left with Zhang Long and Zhao Hu.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang jumped off the eaves and stood on the corridor to continue watching the rain.

"The cat's candlestick..." Zhan Zhao said to himself.

Bai Yutang lightly touched him on the shoulder, "There are also little mice."

The two looked around in satisfaction, Zhan Zhao poked Bai Yutang's palm, "Do you like this room?"

Bai Yutang nodded, "Well... it's suitable for the two of us to live in."

"Let's return the money to Mr. Bao," Zhan Zhao said.

"Yeah." Bai Yutang nodded, "We'll buy it ourselves, but Zhao Yuan's design is pretty good."

Zhan Zhao had a big smile on his face, "I think so too."

Bai Yutang then said to himself, "Especially that big bed."

"Huh?" Zhan Zhao didn't hear clearly.

"Let's go and see the kitchen!" Bai Yutang smiled and pointed at the back, and pulled Zhan Zhao to run back after speaking.

"Did you just talk about bed?"

"No ah."

"But don't you realize that the bed is really too big?"

"well enough."

"It's really big!"

"It's okay, it's okay, the big one sleeps comfortably."

"That's right..."

……
