Early the next morning, Xie Yingzhou, who was insomnia as usual, woke up before dawn. As soon as she woke up, Ye Wujian, who shared the same bed with her, naturally also woke up. Fortunately, the latter had advanced cultivation and slept more. It didn't matter to her.

Ye Wujian got up together, and saw Xie Yingzhou in the corner of the room brushing her teeth with a willow branch dipped in fine salt, looking at the map lying on the chair with two things in one mind.

Frowning slightly, Ye Wujian felt that Xie Yingzhou, who seemed to be fearless about anything, was too strict with herself. This may be related to the education she received in the past. Ye Wujian didn't like it, especially hated that The woman who trained and raised Xie Yingzhou, named Kara.

After the two packed up, they took Yinshanjun and Jiuying in human form to the first yard agreed with Yaren. Jiuying's monster power was still weak, so he still looked like a goat. I wanted to become a prototype to accompany it, but was rejected by Xie Yingzhou. Walking with a white tiger on the street was too eye-catching, especially the coveted look of the hawker I met at the night market that day. I can imagine the rarity of the white tiger. Now that the Hundred Ghosts Festival is approaching, Xie Yingzhou doesn't want to cause trouble.

When they arrived in the west of the city and hadn't seen the Yaman yet, Xie Yingzhou immediately discussed with Ye Wujian about tipping the unprofessional Yaman.

"There is a morning market nearby, let's go eat something." Ye Wujian took Xie Yingzhou's hand and walked to the nearby morning market. Now many people have started to set up stalls there. Haven't had breakfast yet.

At the morning market, I ate a bowl of noodle soup, and when I was almost finished, I saw a chubby young man approaching him. He bowed and apologized, saying that he missed the carriage and could not arrive in time.

This house in the west of the city is the one that Ye Wujian has seen the most in the past few days. Under the leadership of Yaren, Xie Yingzhou walked all the way to observe and found that this house is really quiet, not short distance from the nearby houses Although it is not easy to walk on a narrow road, both sides of the road are full of weeds, but the two sides are full of peach trees. When it comes to the flowering season, it will be a pleasant thing to take this kind of road.

In front of the courtyard, Xie Yingzhou saw a plaque on the gate, which said Taoyuanju, and two lanterns hung under the eaves on both sides of the gate.

Will there be refusal spells here too?

Xie Yingzhou thought about it in her heart, and then looked left and right, but she didn't see any runes that refused to be photographed, so she couldn't help frowning. Now that she is outside, she must smell the rancid smell all the time. If she is at home, she will also smell it. She absolutely couldn't stand this smell.

Perhaps seeing her irritability, Ye Wujian lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "I can draw, it's fine."

At this time, the somewhat fat toothman finally took out a correct brass key from a large bunch of keys in his sleeve. He wiped the sweat from his brow, and introduced while unlocking, "Miss, compare the one we saw. Those few places are the cleanest here. This yard looks ordinary, but it was actually designed by everyone. There is a ginkgo tree planted in the yard for decades. When autumn comes, the ground is golden. It’s beautiful, our yard has its own well and manger, and you need to buy other furniture yourself.”

Listening to Yaren's introduction, as soon as Xie Yingzhou entered the yard, she first saw some artificial rocks piled up as an entry landscape. There were some low flowers and plants in between the rocks. Desires grow wantonly, and between the flowers and rocks, a small pine tree with a height of two and a half is planted, which leaves a good impression when the door is opened.

The ground made of cobblestones in the yard is also due to no one taking care of it, and a lot of grass has grown. There is only a narrow path, which may have been stepped out when people were brought to see the house.

Just looking at these, you know that it is not an easy task to clean up this house.

It's just that although most of the things here have been damaged or decayed, it can still be seen that a lot of effort was put into the initial layout of the house.

It seems that there is a space on the right hand side after entering the gate, which is surrounded by several bamboo fences, and there are two wooden shelves that have fallen apart, and there are still a few brown beans in the flat dustpan placed on it. , beside the wooden shelf, is a small stone roller that can be pushed by hand.

Going further, I saw the ginkgo tree mentioned by Yaren. The branches and leaves of the ginkgo tree were growing wantonly. At this time, the leaves were blown by the breeze, making a rustling sound. It is early summer, and the leaves are still emerald green. If you observe carefully, you will see small green bulbs growing between the emerald green apricot leaves. This season is the flowering period of ginkgo trees.

It's just that the yard is now full of dead branches and rotten leaves, which greatly affects the perception, and among those dead branches and rotten leaves, there are some small spherical objects, which are almost everywhere, brown and rotten, and smell bad. The stench was unpleasant, and the smell of carrion that was smelled outside disappeared immediately after being washed away by the stench.

Xie Yingzhou carefully identified it, and confirmed that once she entered the house, she would no longer smell the rotten smell, only the pungent smell of the rotten ginkgo fruit and the astringent smell of the rotten leaves in the yard, but Even the smell of rotting plants in the yard is easier to accept than the smell of carrion outside the house.

The humanoid Yinshan Jun picked up a ginkgo fruit curiously, lowered his head and sniffed it, immediately wrinkled his nose, threw the ginkgo fruit away, and followed Ye Wujian and Xie Yingzhou carefully to prevent stepping on those rotten ones. thing.

"This is ginkgo fruit. It should bear fruit in two or three months. Then I will make ginkgo syrup for you." Xie Yingzhou looked at the little tiger and said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, this ginkgo tree will bear fruit as soon as July and August. The ginkgo fruit is very sweet." Yaren immediately tried to sell it, but it can be seen from his expression that he also dislikes these things very much. The smell of rotting ginkgo nuts.

Yinshan Jun turned his head, ran a few steps quickly, and followed Ye Wujian, he didn't think that these stinky things would get involved with Qing Tian.

The corners of Ye Wujian's mouth turned up slightly, and he looked around.

Under the ginkgo tree is a small gourd stand, and extending to the back is a simple open-air stove.

"This was set up by the previous owner. When the weather is hot, it is also very pleasant to cook two simple dishes outside and enjoy the coolness under the gourd stand. It can be used, this gourd is not easy to die." Yaren followed Ye Wujian's gaze and introduced it carefully.

Xie Yingzhou's eyes were attracted by things on the other side. She looked at a corner of the yard, and there was a small house surrounded by earthen walls. There was thatch on the earthen walls, and some green grass blades grew on it, which might be birds. There were some grass seeds in the excrement left on it, and these vigorous grass seeds sprouted and bloomed on the top of the moist thatch.

This place looks unique and unique in the yard, and on the roof of the small house, there are a few brilliantly blooming morning glories wrapped around them. Those purple and white morning glories make the small house look lovely, although There is nothing inharmonious with the surrounding scenery, but Xie Yingzhou was still curious. When I walked over to take a look, I found that it was a separate toilet. It had not been used for a long time, and there was no smell, but this design , but it will not make Xie Yingzhou, a modern person who traveled from modern times, feel dirty, but instead feel advanced and interesting.

Because the latrine is surrounded by a thatched earth wall, which makes it safe and private, and also isolates some bad smells, but the designer obviously considered more things, because on the side of the latrine earth wall, there are still reclaimed land. A few vegetable plots, now there are many unknown plants growing here and there. If you look carefully, you can still see that they are hidden under the lush plants, and the vegetable plots are still distinguished from other areas in the yard by simple bamboo fences.

This made Xie Yingzhou very satisfied. In her imagination, the rural life in ancient times should be like this.

Behind the rockery that you see as soon as you enter the door is the place where the owner of the house has frequent activities.

The main building is stacked with hard gray stone slabs, and a short stone staircase is climbed. Above it is a corridor made of wood and blue bricks. The floor of the corridor is paved with wooden boards. Although the brown wooden boards are covered with moss at this time, or Weeds grew in the gaps, but Xie Yingzhou could still think of its former glory, and naturally began to assign the tasks of this corridor in her mind, such as sitting here to watch the rain and eating cakes when it rains, and lazing here in summer drink sugar water...

The corridor is not long. It separates the large yard of the whole house into a large yard and a small yard. A small pool, some flowers and plants are built in the small yard, and then the back door of the house.

Xie Yingzhou only glanced at it roughly, but her attention was still on this corridor that she liked very much. After observing it carefully for a while, she knew that this corridor connected the main room with a double-layer structure and a large independent kitchen on the side. Xie Yingzhou first walked to the door of the kitchen, and saw that there was a food cupboard that had fallen apart, and it was empty, and many places had been eaten away by moths. The curtain separates the inside, one side is the dining area, and the other side is the kitchen for cooking. The designer obviously also considered the dining area for the servants,

However, Xie Yingzhou feels that this design is almost the same as the design of a modern indoor kitchen. The dining table and the kitchen are in the same space, but the materials used in this era are more simple and unpretentious.

Ye Wujian who followed behind saw Xie Yingzhou touching the dust on the kitchen stove, and said, "Do you want to go to the main room to see?"

"Yes!" Xie Yingzhou turned her head, with a smile on her lips, she naturally took Ye Wujian's arm, feeling happy.

Ye Wujian slightly lowered his head to look at Xie Yingzhou's white hair, and the smile on the corner of his mouth deepened.

The construction of the main house is also very simple, but because it is made of wood, it is afraid of damp and insects, so it is deliberately built a little higher, and it is distinguished from other scenery in the yard by stone railings, and wooden low steps are made to spread to the side. under the ginkgo tree.

The main room is now empty, only a square table in the hall, and a few dilapidated bookcases.

This house is not magnificently built, even at first glance, it feels a bit simple and simple, but when you observe the plants and trees here with your own eyes, you will find that everything here is simple and delicate. Wisdom hides in clumsiness.

Xie Yingzhou was not very interested in the decoration of the main house. She immediately walked to the second floor of the main house, stood by the open railing, and observed the entire yard.

"Is that the water well?" Xie Yingzhou saw a raised place at the corner of the small yard covered with broken boards, and asked the toothbrush next to him who was wiping sweat. Feeling short of breath, although it may be the reason why he is fatter, but the two overly good-looking girls in front of him, he has never even seen them shed a drop of sweat during the journey.

"Yes, yes, there is a big stone slab next to the well, on which you can wash clothes. Not far from there, there used to be clothes hangers, but they are all falling apart."

"I love the yard."

The three of them casually strolled around the main house again, and Xie Yingzhou came down to the well in the small yard, opened it and saw that although there were a few dead leaves floating on the well water inside, the water quality was still clear and translucent.

"How is it? Do you like it, you two?" Xie Yingzhou loudly asked Yin Shanjun and Jiuying who were curiously looking at the withered gourd under the gourd stand.

"There are still a few places, if you don't like it, go and look at the others." Ye Wujian said, who hadn't said much.

"Are we going to live here?" Jun Yinshan walked back to Xie Yingzhou and Ye Wujian with Jiu Ying, and asked with his small face up. He felt that this place was too stinky.

"Why hasn't anyone lived here for so long?" Xie Yingzhou looked at Yaren.

"It turned out to be the private house of Lord Qin, the former city lord. I heard that Lord Qin's only daughter, Qin Yue, was in poor health since she was a child and liked to be quiet. When she was 16 years old, Lord Qin, who doted on her daughter, bought this house and gave it to her. As a birthday present, the courtyard design you see now was designed by Ms. Qin, but..." At this point, Yaren hesitated, and looked up to see that Xie Yingzhou and Ye Wujian were both watching Himself, waiting for him to continue, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue, "After the construction was completed, Miss Qin only lived for half a year, then got married, and this place was vacant, but she kept it all the time, and They have been sending people to maintain the house. Two years later, Ms. Qin lost her fortune and died of illness. Mrs. Qin was very sad and returned home. Unexpectedly, on the way back home, their family encountered robbers , dozens of members of the whole family died unexpectedly. This house was still up for sale, but because Mr. Qin’s family has passed away, so now our Lord City Lord, Xia has Mrs. Liang Xia’s name. Although Mrs. Xia does not have Miss Qin Then pay attention to this house, but occasionally send people to maintain it."

"How many years ago did Miss Qin pass away?" In Xie Yingzhou's impression, according to the relevant information she came into contact with, this Xia Youliang, the city lord of Zhaorang City, should be around 50 years old.

"It happened in 30 or [-] years." When Yaren said this, he became a little uncertain.

"So long? Has no one bought a house in 30 or [-] years?"

"Lord Xia is not short of money for this house, but I just want to keep it in mind. I heard that he is also planning to retire recently, and he is dealing with the property under his name." Yaren whispered.

"The original owner of this house has had a bad experience, so it can't be a haunted house?" Xie Yingzhou looked surprised.

"No, no," Yaren quickly waved his hand, "The only disadvantage of this house is that it is relatively old, and everything else is very good. Besides, no one has died here, so it cannot be a haunted house."

"Okay," Xie Yingzhou nodded, "What's the price?"

"500 taels."

"..." Xie Yingzhou counted her remaining silver taels, "It's really expensive, let's buy it, what's the next step?"

As soon as Xie Yingzhou said to buy, Yaren's face immediately smiled. For the transaction of 500 taels, he could get a lot of errand fees proportionally, and immediately said enthusiastically, "Miss has vision. If you two are fine, you can buy it now If the younger one goes to the government, we will pass over the deed."

"I have other things to do this afternoon, why don't you go?"

"it is good."

"Bring the little tiger and the lamb. The Hundred Ghosts Festival is coming soon, and it's a bit chaotic outside. It's safer to follow you." Xie Yingzhou weighed the small purse in her hand, took out two pieces of silver from it, and then a whole silver bag. The bag was handed to Ye Wujian.

"You should also pay attention, we will clean up this afternoon after we finish the deed." Looking at Xie Yingzhou who was checking the small purse, Ye Wujian couldn't help but want to kiss her again.

The current Xie Yingzhou is like her own little daughter-in-law.

"Okay, let's do the kitchen first. I'll come back early and make something delicious for you." Xie Yingzhou chuckled and pulled Yinshan Jun's face.

As the tooth man watched, he felt more and more that the two overly good-looking ladies in front of him were a little weird, but he couldn't tell what was weird.

Several people went out together, and when they looked up, they saw a little boy in a short coat standing at the door, looking inside curiously.

Xie Yingzhou looked at him, and was about to say hello when he turned his head and ran away.

"The children nearby." The tooth man explained with a smile.
