Chapter 74 Rent in the County
Being admitted to the county school means that Li Yanqing and others are no longer students of Lushan Primary School, but are dignified county students. Since Tangyin is a major grain-producing county and the government has surplus of grain, students from poor families can even receive a subsidy of one liter and two meter per day.
However, the Dadao County Magistrate linked this treatment with archery results, forcing many poor students to practice archery hard and strive to meet the Dadao County Magistrate's standards to receive subsidies.
On the second day after the county examination was issued, students who were admitted to the county school had to go to the county school to register first, and then take ten days off and officially register for the school ten days later.
Early in the morning, Li Yanqing, Yue Fei and others came to the county school to register. They were still candidates two days ago, but in a blink of an eye they became formal students, as if they were dreaming.
The four of them wandered around the county school with great enthusiasm. Yue Fei was particularly happy. Although the tuition fee for studying for the county school was exempted and the grain and rice subsidies were paid every day, he still had to charge additional money for food and accommodation, but it was just relatively cheap, with five jin of money per year.
However, if you get into the top ten, you can get rid of the first year's food and accommodation fee. If you get into the top three, you can get rid of the food and accommodation fee for two years. Yue Fei is the second place, which can reduce the burden on his family. At least his younger brother can also study and go to school.
"Brother Yanqing!"
At this time, someone suddenly called Li Yanqing behind him. The four of them turned around and saw a young student running towards him.
Li Yanqing immediately recognized that it was Zhang Xian. Zhang Xian ranked fifth in the overall list this time, mainly because his martial arts dragged him down. Li Yanqing came forward and smiled and said, "Is there anything wrong with me, brother?"
Zhang Xianxi smiled and said, "I want to congratulate Brother Yanqing on the top of the high school list. I am ashamed! I only shot three arrows in the arrow test."
"My brother is too modest. We should be tied for the top spot. Come on! I will introduce you to a few good friends, but you have actually seen them at the Boys' Meeting."
Yue Fei and the other two saw Zhang Xianli. Wang Gui didn't like him very much when he saw that he was too handsome and didn't like him very much, so he slapped the corners of his mouth, but Tang Huai couldn't see any expression.
"Several brothers have already registered!"
Li Yanqing smiled and said, "It's already recorded. I'll be ready to go home after a while."
Zhang Xian scratched his head, "But you have to go to the dormitory soon, don't you know?"
Li Yanqing and the other four were shocked. They didn't know that they had booked the dormitory now. Yue Fei asked, "Who informed me?"
"There is a notice on the other side of the listing, which is posted on the wall! Maybe it was just posted, but you didn't see it."
Li Yanqing and the other four rushed to the directory office. A large group of new students stood next to the directory office. They looked up at something, and they really posted a dormitory rental notice:
The upper house has a single courtyard, which costs three guan a month; the middle house has a single room, which costs one guan a month; the lower house has a double room, which costs three hundred guan a month; there is also a ten-person room, which costs one guan a month, which costs one guan a month. They are admitted to the top ten, which means that the food and accommodation are free. If you want to live a better place, you still have to pay.
Wang Gui was so angry that he cursed. The county school robbed money more ruthless than a robber. Yue Fei's face was ugly. He found that he thought things too well.
Li Yanqing asked Zhang Xian with a smile: "What dormitory did you choose?"
Zhang Xian shook his head, "I don't choose, I decided to rent a house outside!"
"Can you rent a house outside?" the four of them asked in unison.
"sure!"
Zhang Xianxiao said: "This is a tradition of county school. Some students are already married and must rent a house outside. It is very cost-effective to rent a house outside. For example, a yard with two entrances and a dozen houses, the monthly rent is only three guan. There are only three guans in a single yard here, which costs three guan. It is too expensive. It's just a little closer and easier to go to school. I don't think it's worth it."
Li Yanqing and the other four discussed that they also wanted to rent a house outside, and they had to get up early to run at the fifth day of the day. It is said that the county school is not allowed to go out at night, and the fifth day of the day is also at night, so it is too inconvenient for them.
"Have you found my brother's house?"
Zhang Xian nodded, "I have been optimistic about it for a long time. It's not far from here, but the house is too big. It's a four-acre house. But it costs four jin of money. I want to find a few people to share the rent. If my brothers are interested, you might as well consider it."
Li Yanqing and Wang Gui and Tang Huai discussed it, then smiled happily and said, "Let's go and see my brother's house."
"Old Yue, why don't you leave?" Li Yanqing couldn't help but ask strangely when he saw Yue Fei not moving.
"You guys go! I want to go and see the dormitory." Yue Fei wanted to live in the school's free room. Although he knew that Li Yanqing and Wang Gui would not let him pay the rent, he was really embarrassed.
"Stop talking stupid things, let me come to the county school every day to help you climb over the wall and run, so I won't do it!"
Li Yanqing and Wang Gui dragged him away regardless of what Yue Fei said. Yue Fei had no choice but to go with them.
.........
The house Zhang Xian is optimistic about is located in an alley opposite Qingfu Building. The owner's surname is Liang, and he is a businessman in cloth business. The family moved to Anyang County last fall, and the house was closed and a entrusted a tooth to help him rent it out.
It is still easier to rent a house in the county school area, but the landlord refuses to rent a single room and must rent the entire house together. This is a bit difficult, unless it is rented to a new student.
"You are lucky. A few freshmen came to see the house just now. If it weren't for two of them who thought the rent was too high, they would have settled it on the spot."
The man named Zeng Xiaoyi, who was a thin man in his thirties, was eloquent and enthusiastic, so he took everyone into the alley.
"What do you find when you look at this alley?"
Wang Gui looked up for a long time and said blankly: "I can't see anything!"
"Look at it again, you will find it unique."
Li Yanqing smiled and said, "Brother Xiao Yi said that the alley is very wide!"
"By the way!"
Zeng Xiaoyi raised his thumb and said, "This guy has vision. Other alleys are up to five feet wide, but it is 1 meter wide. The carriage can drive directly into the home. This is the symbol of a wealthy family. There are only three families in the alley, which is very quiet and suitable for you to study and study."
Li Yanqing nodded. In fact, he also discovered another feature, that is, big trees are planted on the inner walls of both sides of the alley, which will be very shady in summer, but there will be troubles. They are poplar trees, and there will be a kind of stinging spicy hot chili falling off the trees.
Zeng Xiaoyi opened the door and took everyone in. A wall facing him was blocking the inside, which was also a characteristic of traditional buildings. When you enter from the side, you will find an ordinary yard in front of you. This is an outer room. The yard is quite spacious and you can park a carriage.
There is a large bluestone well in the corner, and there are a long row of houses in the middle, with about seven or eight kitchens, dining halls, utilities and four compartments all here, and there is a livestock shed at the edge.
Through the middle doorway, the four of them exclaimed together. The middle courtyard was a large crescent-shaped courtyard with blue bricks on the ground, two osmanthus trees more than ten feet tall planted in the middle, and a rockery. Against the wall was a long semicircular corridor with three moon gates, which were extremely exquisite and unique.
Zeng Xiaoyi was quite proud. The selling point of this house was here. Every house viewer wanted to rent it after seeing this courtyard.
He said to everyone: "This house has four acres, and it costs at least 20 guan a month to rent in the capital. It is actually very cost-effective to rent it in small county in Tangyin."
Wang Gui pointed to the three moon gates and asked, "Why are there three gates?"
"Because there are three yards that are not connected to each other, the two sons of the original owner lived in one yard, and the old master lived in the middle yard. The layout of the yard is similar, and the rooms are all facing south. I'll take you to see one. Please come with me."
Zeng Xiaoyi took them into the east yard, which was a yard that was very small, and two peach trees were planted. At this time, the peach blossoms were blooming in full bloom, particularly pink and tender, and there was a small well in the corner.
The house is an L-shaped one, with inner and outer jackets on the side and three rooms in the middle. There are five rooms in total, all of which are 70% new blue brick and black tiled houses.
Li Yanqing asked: "Are the other two yards five rooms?"
Zeng Xiaoyi smiled and said, "The middle courtyard is a little bigger, so you need two more rooms, and the west courtyard is also one more room, and the others are the same."
Li Yanqing bowed, "Thank you, let's discuss it!"
Zeng Xiaoyi went out tactfully, and Li Yanqing asked with a smile: "What do you think?"
Wang Gui smiled and said, "Old Tang and I live in the West Courtyard. I have a maid and Lao Tang also has one, so I can bring it here."
Li Yanqing was thinking about bringing magpies and having a meal with his wife Ju, and just staying in the outer room. Uncle Zhong and his husband took care of the old house for him. Anyway, he and his father would occasionally go back to live there.
Tang Huai asked Zhang Xian: "Can the price be cheaper?"
Zhang Xian shook his head, "The landlord refused to give up the price, and the rent must be paid once a year, so I have a good friend, so I asked him to live with me. When we live in a central house, I will bear two cents of money."
When Li Yanqing heard that Zhang Xian had to bear half of the rent, he was not very familiar with Zhang Xian and it was difficult to take advantage of him, so he hurriedly said, "How can you be so embarrassed? It's better to spread it equally."
Zhang Xianwei smiled and said, "It is my honor to be able to live with Brother Li. I really hope to learn some martial arts from you. To be honest, I don't want to use the sword as an ornament."
Zhang Xian's words made everyone feel quite fond of each other. Wang Gui patted his chest generously and said, "Leave the matter of your martial arts to me."
Zhang Xian was overjoyed, "That's it!"
Everyone could not resist his enthusiasm, so they had to nod and agree. Li Yanqing smiled and said, "Then we agreed, I will pay for the expenses of the tooth!"
Zhang Xian agreed and hurriedly went to the tooth to go through the procedures. Wang Gui and Tang Huai went to the West Courtyard. Li Yanqing smiled at Yue Fei and said, "Look at which room the fifth brother wants to live in?"
Yue Fei knew that Li Yanqing had a little maid, so he pointed to the side room and smiled: "This suite is good, two rooms inside and outside, just right for me."
Li Yanqing said happily: "The front is my place, a bedroom, a study, and another one for the magpie to live in."
In fact, the Zhang Xian family was the first wealthy family in Tangbei Township and a family of officials. Their family had a house in Tangyin County. However, Zhang Xian wanted to live with Li Yanqing and others, so he refused to live in his own house.
The same is true for Wang Gui and Tang Huai. Both of their families have houses in Tangyin County. Tang Huai’s uncle Tang Zhengzong’s home is very large, and Wang Gui’s family’s mule and horse shop is also a big house. However, these two people are unwilling to be controlled by their families and want to live with their partners, so they refuse to live in their own house.
After booking the house, the four of them went to buy some gifts for their family and master. Li Yanqing went back to the inn and called Li Er and two other students. A group of teenagers took Wang Gui's big ox cart back to Lushan Town... Friends reading books, you can search for "" and find this site as soon as possible.
