Chapter 207 Renting a House
"Brother Yi, what kind of wife do you want to marry?"
"what!"
Lin Hongyi was dumbfounded. What does this have to do with getting married?
"Alas, you won't understand even if I tell you.
This kind of place is called a brothel or a brothel, and all men like to go there.
They like rich and powerful young men and masters the most..." Lin Shu said bluntly.
"I'm just curious!"
Lin Hongyi was awakened by a basin of cold water. It turns out that the more beautiful something is, the more terrifying it is.
Shu'er is knowledgeable and knows all this.
"If you go in with a hundred silver coins, how much will you have when you come out?"
Lin Shu decided to use the simplest words to make her elder brother understand the pros and cons.
"There are still one hundred taels left." Lin Hongyi said affirmatively.
If he went in, he would just look around without spending any money, so of course he would have one hundred taels left when he came out.
"Wrong, you will be stripped naked and beaten."
“No way, I didn’t provoke them.
Not only did he rob my money, but he also got stripped naked and beaten.
Report them to the police and have them arrested and put in jail." Lin Hongyi said indignantly.
Lin Shu stroked his forehead and pulled his ear to give him a lecture.
"Did you understand?
Oh, I am so tired of talking to you, let’s go find an inn.”
Lin Shu lay listlessly on Lin Hongyi's shoulder. There was really no way to teach this blockhead.
It seems that the best way is to let him be deceived so that he can remember this lesson deeply.
Lin Hongyi felt a chill on his back, shivered, and whipped the horse.
[You must remember what my little sister said, or you will suffer. ]
[He doesn't want to be scolded by his youngest sister at his age. How embarrassing.]
...
Yulong Inn.
In the spacious upper room, you can feel the warmth with the high pillows and soft quilts.
Lin Shu knelt on a chair to study the glazed window, and secretly took out a small piece of glazed window for comparison.
The similarity is so high that I can't help but take a look at the interior layout.
Sure enough, there were two teacups mounted on the wall in the corner.
One similarity can be said to be a coincidence, but two similarities are definitely a problem.
Once her thoughts wandered, Lin Shu started thinking a little too far ahead.
The power and party struggles are too great to even think about.
She is just an ordinary citizen, and any disputes have nothing to do with her.
In order to prevent the people who were eavesdropping from hearing any clues, Lin Shu did not enter the space.
There were a few plates of snacks on the tea table, and the crumbs fell all over the table, even the lounge chair was not spared.
He needed several buckets of hot water to wash up, and only went to bed after Lin Hongyi's kind words of persuasion.
...
In the bed, two heads were put together and whispered.
Lin Hongyi was surprised and blamed himself for being too careless.
You deserve to be beaten for forgetting what your younger sister just taught you.
Fortunately, they didn't say anything out of line, otherwise the consequences would be unpredictable.
"Tomorrow, we'll go out and rent a house." Lin Hongyi said with determination.
He didn't know why his younger sister came to the imperial city, but for safety reasons, it would be better for her to live alone.
There are many people in the inn and they have no background. If something goes wrong, they will be the first to suffer.
"it is good!"
Lin Shu nodded in agreement. What she was about to do was very secret, and it would be inconvenient to stay in an inn.
All night without incident.
The next day.
When Lin Shu woke up, she was holding a drowned rat that had climbed onto the bed at some point.
Lin Hongyi, who was sleeping in the outer room, squatted facing the window and practiced breathing.
"Tell me, what did you do last night?"
Lin Shu lay in the bed and whispered to the drowned rat.
"Squeak..."
The soaked rat gestured excitedly to the people who could not understand rat language.
I had no choice but to throw it into the space and let Baozi communicate with it.
I got up and dressed quickly, but something hit my butt. I lifted the quilt and took a look.
A delicate little light red purse was lying quietly on the bed. She took it out and took a look.
Earrings, rings, gold peanuts, gold beans, pearls.
Lin Shu was so upset that she couldn't help but frown. The little guy used his ultimate move as soon as he entered the city.
The things that she got with little effort were not what she wanted at all!
Lin Shu considers herself a person with lofty goals, so how could she be blinded by petty gains!
But what can she do!
The only way is to destroy the evidence and clean up the mess.
Lin Shu put the purse into the jewelry house and searched the bed and the house carefully.
Only feel relieved when you are sure that nothing is missing.
Thinking about how I deliberately made myself sad last night, I couldn't help but curse myself for doing it in vain.
There must be no traces of rats here, otherwise her body would be covered with mouths.
Only a plate of ordinary osmanthus cake was left on the tea table, and all other cakes were put away into the space, not even a single crumb was left behind.
Lin Hongyi opened his mouth to ask hoarsely, but was completely ignored by Lin Shu.
...
Lin Shu lay on the recliner, crossed her legs, and ate osmanthus cake intermittently.
She listened carefully to the noise outside for about a cup of tea.
The scolding, footsteps, and crying finally calmed down.
【It seems that the matter has been resolved. 】
Lin Shu thought that the things in the purse might just be the reward money received by a maid or old woman.
[Tsk tsk, he is really a rich guy. ]
My heart finally settled down. Now that I was fine, of course I had to fill my stomach.
The two brothers went downstairs to have breakfast and went to the street to inquire about renting a house.
In the imperial city where every inch of land is valuable, people from all walks of life live there and the rent varies greatly.
Through the introduction of a middleman, I rented a small courtyard in Huaishu Hutong.
There are three main houses with kitchens, toilets and stables.
There is a patio and a well in the middle. Although it is small, it has everything.
...
"Shi Tou, wait at home while I go buy some furniture and rice."
Lin Hongyi saw that the house was empty, without even any grass to start a fire.
He had to hurry and buy daily supplies, otherwise he would not have lunch.
"Brother, you are not familiar with this place. It is best to go find the middleman just now."
While reminding, Lin Shu took out five hundred taels of silver.
These silver notes have not yet been exchanged. The peaceful and harmonious imperial city is the best place to use the silver notes.
"This is too much. I haven't used up the three hundred taels you gave me."
Lin Hongyi shook his head painfully. The imperial city really spent money like water.
He had only been here for one day and had already spent one hundred and fifty taels of silver.
Three months' rent is ninety taels. If it continues like this, I will have no choice but to become a beggar.
"Take it! Don't buy second-hand goods.
I also want to buy two maids to serve me! This little money is not enough."
Lin Shu looked like a fool with a lot of money, which made Lin Hongyi feel overwhelmed.
He didn't understand what his little sister was up to.
But we still have to save what needs to be saved.
With the little money their family has, they can squander it for a few days.
"Okay, I'll buy everything, but I can't buy a maid to serve me.
My brother can do all these jobs by himself.
I have been taking care of you since you were a child, and I don’t like outsiders to interfere.” Lin Hongyi said with a dark face.
"Okay, as you say. Go quickly and come back soon."
Lin Shu escorted the person out of the hospital and slammed the door shut.
Insert the door and lock it.
Looking up at the patio, there is a small piece of sky.
Unless you stand on the roof, you won't be able to see what's going on below.
