Chixia City is large in scale, and a very typical point is that there is water everywhere in the city.

There is a Yunshui River that crosses the north and south, and there are also several Yunshui tributaries that shuttle through the streets and alleys in the city.

Famous water bodies include Bijiang Pool, Wenxing Lake, etc.

In short, you can see water wherever you go, and there are water views everywhere.

This also makes this city always appear extraordinarily romantic in the eyes of those who see it for the first time.

Although it had just experienced a war, since King Linhai had not entered the city, the environment in the city had not been damaged, and the overall atmosphere in the city was still prosperous and prosperous.

Cheng Ling took a fresh look and felt that it was a feast for the eyes.

The process of finding a house was relatively smooth, because there were servants from wealthy families like Manager Chen who were familiar with the local area to guide the way.

As the saying goes, snakes have their own ways, and rats have their own ways. When it comes to such small matters related to people's livelihood, Manager Chen knows how to deal with them better than Wang Qilang.

Of course, Wang Qilang still has a lot of face.

Manager Chen took Cheng Ling and others to find a tooth shop that specializes in various intermediary matters. He took the head of the shop and pointed quietly: "This is Qi Langjun of our Lord Fu."

With just such a sentence, the leader of the line immediately came down to introduce him personally and accompany him throughout the whole process.

The leader also brought out a simple map and pointed out some houses that were in good condition and available for rent for Cheng Ling to choose from.

Cheng Ling chose several places, including a small courtyard with two entrances near Yunshui River, a small house with two entrances two streets away from Wenxing Lake, and a place far away from the city center but with a wider area.

Enter the house three times.

The house we entered the third time was located in the east of the city, already somewhat close to the east city gate.

According to the introduction at the beginning of the line, most of the people living in the east part of the city are relatively wealthy small families, including merchants, warriors, and people who do business locally. In short, the composition is complex.

The head of the line lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "There are also people in the world who like to live temporarily in the east of the city. Over there...even though the house is big, the feeling of living there...tsk, it's hard to say."

He strongly recommended the house not far from Wenxing Lake, saying: "There is the famous Wenxing Tower in our Chixia City over there. Young masters and celebrities often hold various literary gatherings at Wenxing Lake. Our Chixia City is located on Qingyuan Mountain across the lake.

The two most famous academies..."

After some introduction, I just said that the house here has a quiet environment. Although it is a little small, it is very special because of the atmosphere of Wenxing Lake.

As for the courtyard near Yunshui River, it is generally quite satisfactory.

But the head of the trip also recommended: "To be honest with you, most of the people living by the Yunshui River are city officials or relatives. My home is not far from the Yunshui River, not to mention the surrounding neighbors, at least

They are also decent people."

I have reviewed it all in detail, and it can be said that it is very practical.

The group of people rode a horse-drawn carriage and toured the entire Chixia City for half a circle, and then took a look at all three houses.

The last thing I looked at was Sanjinyuan in the east of the city, but Wang Qilang, like the leader of the group, strongly recommended to Cheng Ling the house two streets away from Wenxing Lake.

He persuaded Cheng Ling: "Although the sparrow there is small, it has all the internal organs. The biggest advantage is that it is close to Wenxing Lake. As the saying goes, the Qi nourishes the body. Looking at the surrounding shops, most of them are either study rooms or cloth shops. They are quiet and clean, but

Isn't it perfect?"

Cheng Ling nodded, but did not respond immediately.

She had been secretly considering this journey. At this time, she had already made up her mind, but she still asked Mu Sanniang: "Aniang, what do you think? Where do you want to live?"

Mu Sanniang had actually been thinking carefully. When Cheng Ling asked, she said, "Brother Ling, secretly I want to live in the east of the city. I think this house is big, so it's good."

She didn't say the specific reason. In fact, she just felt that the east side of the city was more friendly, and the small families around her made her feel at ease.

This kind of bustle in the market is what Mu Sanniang is familiar with. Besides, Cheng Ling also said that he wanted to accumulate strength in Chixia City. Is the environment at Wenxing Lake convenient for accumulating strength?

You can't recruit a bunch of scholars, and then when disaster strikes, go to the top of the city to start a verbal spat?

It was difficult to say these words in front of outsiders, so Mu Sanniang just awkwardly emphasized that she liked big houses.

Cheng Ling understood her somewhat and immediately smiled: "Auntie, I also like Chengdong."

Mother and daughter looked at each other, Cheng Ling smiled, Mu Sanniang pursed her lips lightly, and smiled relaxedly after a moment.

The house was decided like this, without too much persuasion from others, Cheng Ling made the decision quickly and quickly.

Wang Qilang couldn't persuade him any more, so he sighed and said, "The governor's office is in the west of the city. Brother Cheng, if I look for you again from now on, I will have to cross most of Chixia City!"

Cheng Ling said: "If I want to see Brother Wang, don't I also need to cross most of Chixia City?"

After saying this, Wang Qilang burst out laughing, which was a bit silly.

Everyone went back to the tooth shop to sign the documents. Today, the tooth shop does not have private teeth, they are all official teeth. Once the seal is stamped, the document will have legal effect.

Cheng Ling didn't even need to meet the original owner of the house. He started by saying, "The owner of the house is a businessman from the north. He only comes to Chixia City once a year. When he comes, he doesn't stay in the house. He mostly stays in an inn."

Don't worry, Mr. Lang."

In this way, Cheng Ling followed the rules of the dental shop and signed a one-year lease.

The rent is three thousand yuan a month, which is thirty taels of silver.

Thirty-six taels a year, Cheng Ling paid in one lump sum, and in addition, he had to deposit another ten taels of silver as a deposit.

After leaving the Yaxing Gate, Mu Sanniang let out a long breath and whispered to Cheng Ling: "Brother Ling, I feel distressed and relieved to have paid so much money."

Cheng Ling looked at her with encouraging eyes.

Mu Sanniang then said: "If you just pay for one year, do you expect us to be able to settle here for at least one year?"

She was really afraid of running around, and Mu Sanniang was also really afraid that in the blink of an eye, she and others would have to run away in embarrassment with their tatters.

Cheng Ling didn't say anything pessimistic about preparing for a rainy day this time. She said, "I hope it will last longer."

Mu Sanniang laughed.

Once the house is settled, the move will be done very quickly.

In fact, it can't even be called moving, because Cheng Ling and others only have a few tattered luggage. Tingquan Villa is not their home, and there is nothing to move.

Guan Yuelin led his troops out of the city to deal with the remnants of Linhai King's stragglers. Cheng Ling could not say farewell and thank him in person, so she only asked Wang Qilang to convey it to him. The next day, she took everyone out of Tingquan Villa and went directly to the house in the east of the city.

The courtyard that Sanjin entered was actually more spacious than Tingquan Villa. As soon as she entered the courtyard, Cheng Erni was so pleasantly surprised that she was a little confused.

She said in disbelief: "Brother Ling, will this place be our home from now on?"

Is this their home?

Cheng Ling stood in the house and looked around. In fact, the rented house couldn't be called a home, but isn't it a home where there are family members?
