Cultivation of the husband in the text
Chapter 20
As soon as she entered the city gate, Xiaohong clamored to go shopping and eat.
Ji Lang threw him a bag of silver coins, and told him: "Don't cause trouble, come to us after you have fun, let's find a place to live first."
"Got it." Xiaohong took the bag and disappeared in a flash.
Min Fan hesitated and wanted to ask Ji Lang if he was not worried about Xiao Hong. Wu Yun said to him indifferently in the sea of consciousness: "Don't worry about Xiao Hong, you should worry about those who unfortunately offended him."
After entering the city, Ji Lang and Min Fan found an inn with a quiet and unique environment, "The shopkeeper, stay at the inn."
"Hey, two guest officers, what a coincidence, the shop is already full, you two will go elsewhere to have a look."
Then, they continued to look for inns. The requirements for the environment ranged from elegant and quiet to clean and tidy, and finally it was enough to accommodate people. They searched for most of the inns in the imperial city, but all of them were full.
After asking passers-by, they came to a small inn near the west city gate. Although it was a bit dilapidated, it still had tiles and couches.
The shopkeeper said: "The guest officer came just in time, and there are two rooms available, one room costs ten gold coins per night."
"It's too expensive." Min Fan's eyes widened, urging Ji Lang to leave this black-hearted inn with a big mouth.
Of course Ji Lang knew that this was an opportunity for the store to raise prices, but he was worried that the same would be true for the rest of the inns, and there might not be any vacancies.
One gold coin is worth 100 silver coins, and ten silver coins can be exchanged for one low-grade spirit stone.
In other words, ten gold coins can be exchanged for 100 yuan of low-grade spirit stones.The monthly subsidy that monks who joined the Inscription Masters Association can receive is only 50 yuan of low-grade spirit stones.
There is still one month before the entrance examination of Pingzhen Academy, and many people came to the imperial city several months or even earlier.This period of time has also become the peak season for inns. In the absence of strong market supervision, this outrageous price increase has also occurred.
"Let's go." Min Fan pulled Ji Lang away.
Ji Lang sighed softly: "Let's look for it again."
Then, they found another inn that was not fully booked. Although it was old and small, its location was not bad.
However, the shopkeeper said: "Two guests, the only thing left in our store is the Datong shop, and there are three beds, and each bed has eight gold coins a day."
Ji Lang and Min Fan looked at each other.
The shopkeeper said: "You'd better book a room quickly, there are no vacant beds in the whole imperial city now, so my house is not full yet."
Ji Lang shook his head slightly, and left with Min Fan.
Min Fan worried: "Eldest young master, what should we do now?"
Ji Lang thought for a moment, then said: "Let's go to a dental clinic and rent a small courtyard for a short period of one month."
A dental shop is a place similar to an intermediary, with a wide range of businesses, from ordinary small objects to large objects such as houses, and even servants. As long as there is a transaction, there will be a dental shop.
Ji Lang and Min Fan found a dental shop that claims to be the largest in the imperial city, and they were received by a fat young man.
Zhao Yupeng warmly invited them to the reception room, poured two cups of hot tea over, and looked at them calmly.
"Are you two buying a house or renting a house, what is your budget?"
"Rent a house, short-term rent for one month." Ji Lang said lightly.
Zhao Yupeng was stunned for a moment, the strange look in his eyes flashed away, and then said: "There are very few short-term rentals for one month, and now the minimum rent is one year."
Min Fan said, "Can you help me find a short-term rental house?"
Zhao Yupeng looked puzzled, hesitated for a while, and asked, "Are you in a hurry?"
Min Fan nodded: "Hurry up, it's best to be able to move in today."
Zhao Yupeng pondered for a while, and said, "Why don't you just wait for me for a while, and I'll ask the other staff in our dental office to see if anyone has a short-term rental house."
Min Fan thanked: "Okay, I'm sorry."
Zhao Yupeng left them here and left the reception room.
"Master, maybe there might be a suitable short-term rental house."
"He will tell you when he comes back later that there are only long-term rentals." In fact, when Zhao Yupeng left, he might not know what to do, it was all a sales routine.
"No way." Min Fan sighed, "Then what shall we do?"
"Then rent it for one year. After we enroll, we will sublet the house, or cancel the lease early, and lose some deposit."
"Well, anyway, we should try our best to minimize the loss." Min Fan thought to himself, he had been spending Ji Lang's money all the way here, so he had to find a job.
Ji Lang nodded his head lightly, thinking about finding a way to buy an admissions letter after he settled for a place to live.
Sure enough, after a while, Zhao Yupeng came back and said to them: "You two, I asked around, and they all said that there is no short-term rental housing. Our Shuangxing Dental Shop is the largest dental shop in the imperial city. You can also go to other dental shops to ask. There are definitely no short-term rentals.”
Min Fan looked at Ji Lang, and Ji Lang sighed softly: "Take us to see a one-year long-term rental house first."
"Okay, what's your budget and what do you want to see?"
"It's refreshing and quiet, just have two or three vacant rooms."
Zhao Yupeng paused, as if trying to guess what their budget would be. "Let me show you the nearby courtyards first. The decoration is good and the price is reasonable."
When they saw the third small courtyard, they met another group of people who showed the house.
Feng Guanqing walked towards Ji Lang and Min Fan: "Brothers, I would like to ask, are you also planning to take the Pingzhen College entrance exam?"
"Who is your Excellency?"
"My surname is Feng, and I'm from Xiyu City. I came to the Imperial City this time to take the Pingzhen Academy entrance exam in a month. I see that the two of you are also planning to rent a house, so I would like to ask if we can share a house. That way we can all save money.”
Ji Lang didn't care about this.Although it can indeed save some, it is a drop in the bucket.At the same time, he could also see that this person's cultivation was at the eighth level of the Qi Refining Stage, so he wasn't afraid of his tricks.
But Min Fan was moved, and said to Ji Lang based on the principle of saving what can be saved: "Young Master, we can consider his proposal."
Hearing this, both Zhao Yupeng and Feng Guanqing couldn't help but looked at them in surprise.One thought they were lovers, the other thought they were ordinary friends, neither of them thought that they would be in a master-servant relationship.But looking at their clothes and getting along with each other, they don't look like masters and servants at all.
Ji Lang said to Min Fan: "You decide this matter."
Feng Guanqing said: "If you are lucky enough to enroll, you will need to spend money on various expenses such as living expenses and equipment expenses. If you can save it, you will save it."
Min Fan nodded fiercely, agreeing with this statement very much.But does school need a lot of money?
"Eldest young master, after you enter school, I will go elsewhere. I still need to find my parents."
"You can't look for people like headless chickens, can you? Learn first, and when you have a certain ability, it will be easier to find people. Sharpening a knife is not a mistake for woodcutters."
"But……"
"I'll take care of the money, you don't have to worry about it."
In the end, they shared a three-room courtyard with a kitchen and a well.
After Zhao Yupeng negotiated with the guy who took Feng Guanqing to see the house, he took them and the landlord to the dental office to sign the rental contract.
After the landlord handed them the keys, he took the deed and money and left first.
Zhao Yupeng said to them: "You are going to be admitted to Pingzhen College, our dental office has a way to guarantee your admission."
Suddenly, the three of them looked at him in surprise.
Zhao Yupeng said inscrutablely: "This means that cats have cat ways, and dogs have dog ways."
Feng Guanqing glanced at Ji Lang and Min Fan, and said disapprovingly, "You should tell us in detail."
Zhao Yupeng said: "As we all know, Pingzhen College needs to take the entrance examination based on the admission letter, and can only be admitted after passing, but in fact the examination is only one of the links. The entrance examination is a unified examination based on the cultivation direction chosen by the students. We have no way to control .But after the entrance exam, the college still has a review process, which is the student qualification review."
Feng Guanqing asked suspiciously: "What is qualification examination?"
Min Fan didn't make a sound, but he had the same question on his face.
Ji Lang was a little surprised. The admissions policy and process were very similar to some modern large-scale exams.
Zhao Yupeng explained to them: "Pingzhen Academy adopts the method of examination first and review later. After the examination, the school will review the qualified students, mainly to review the basic information of the students, such as whether they have lied about their age or whether they are involved in a lawsuit. In this link, there is a very special place that the academy has not announced to the public."
Having said that, Zhao Yupeng paused for a moment, with a proud and mysterious expression. "The college will admit students with special talents as appropriate. This content is where we can operate. This is our private cooperation with the college."
"What do you mean by special talent?"
"It's usually spells. For example, last year the academy admitted a third-level craftsman, but that person failed the exam because of his abnormal performance."
Hearing this, Feng Guanqing said disappointedly: "It is impossible for anyone to become a third-level warlock all at once."
"Because you are laymen and don't understand what we are experts in." Zhao Yupeng said disapprovingly, "Our dental shop is the largest dental shop in the imperial city. We have a strong relationship with the Craftsman Association and Pingzhen Academy. As long as we operate Once you get a third-level refining master certification, you can be admitted 100% of the time."
Zhao Yupeng carefully observed their expressions, and continued to persuade: "This world is not black and white, and it can be flexible. There are limited places, so you don't want them, and some people are rushing to get them."
Feng Guanqing sneered: "Oh, it really opened my eyes."
Ji Lang asked, "How much is the admission letter?"
The corners of Zhao Yupeng's mouth turned up, and he said: "The admission letter is 2000 yuan for middle-grade spirit stones, and the third-level craftsman certification includes 5000 yuan for middle-grade spirit stones. That is to say, you can enroll with only 8000 yuan for middle-grade spirit stones." When you have completed your studies and you have an educational background like Pingzhen Academy, you will be able to earn back this little money soon."
"But it's too expensive." Feng Guanqing was stunned and shook her head repeatedly.
"Master, let's go, we still have to clean up the house." Min Fan urged Ji Lang to leave.
Ji Lang hesitated for a while, then left with Min Fan, Feng Guanqing caught up with them.
The three returned to the small courtyard they had just rented in silence.
Min Fan swiftly packed his and Ji Lang's two rooms, and Ji Lang walked over to work with him.
When they finished cleaning, Feng Guanqing also simply cleaned up his house.
"By the way, I haven't asked the two names yet."
"Ji Lang." "Min Fan."
Feng Guanqing paused for a moment, and asked curiously, "We are now co-rental friends, and we may be classmates in the future. May I take the liberty to ask a question?"
"Ask." Ji Lang said lightly.
"What is your relationship?"
"friend."
Feng Guanqing had a look of disbelief, "Why did I hear him call you young master?"
Min Fan explained: "I'm used to shouting."
Ji Lang said to Min Fan: "I was negligent, just call me by my name in the future."
Min Fan nodded.
Feng Guanqing asked curiously: "Could it be that he used to be a domestic servant, but later he redeemed himself and left the house?"
Ji Lang couldn't help frowning slightly, with a look of displeasure in his eyes, and said seriously: "You are wrong, Min Fan just followed others to call me Young Master from the beginning, I don't want anyone to misunderstand."
Feng Guanqing subconsciously took half a step back, and nodded in a daze.
Min Fan smiled awkwardly at Feng Guanqing, and then said to Ji Lang: "Let's go find Xiaohong, he hasn't come to us for so long, I'm a little worried."
Ji Lang responded, nodded politely with Feng Guanqing, and then walked out with Min Fan, saying as he walked, "Don't worry, if something happens to him, I will feel it."
Ji Lang threw him a bag of silver coins, and told him: "Don't cause trouble, come to us after you have fun, let's find a place to live first."
"Got it." Xiaohong took the bag and disappeared in a flash.
Min Fan hesitated and wanted to ask Ji Lang if he was not worried about Xiao Hong. Wu Yun said to him indifferently in the sea of consciousness: "Don't worry about Xiao Hong, you should worry about those who unfortunately offended him."
