On the other side, Ye Laosan went to Ye Qingshan for help.

Ye Qingshan was actually very excited about this. Not only did he specially call over the subordinates in the General's Mansion who were responsible for handling these matters, he was even afraid that they might not be able to handle it properly, so he went with them in person.

Ye Qingshan has been staying at the border for more than ten years, and all his parents and relatives in his hometown are gone.

He truly regarded Old Lady Ye's family as real relatives.

Unfortunately, this family is too sensible, which often leaves him with no way to express his enthusiasm for helping others.

Now that Ye Lao San finally came to ask for help, Ye Qingshan was not willing to let go of such an opportunity.

If he knew what he was doing, he would have rolled up his sleeves and done it himself.

"Brother Qingshan, there's no need to trouble you with such a small matter!" Ye Laosan didn't expect that Ye Qingshan would go with him.

Although he changed into casual clothes, ordinary people could not tell that he was a general.

But in Ye Laosan's opinion, an official of such a high status as Ye Qingshan must have a lot of important things to do every day.

He just wanted to rent a shop to open a carpentry workshop. Such a small matter was not worth his time.

"I'm off today, so I don't have anything else to do, so I'll go over and see what's going on." Ye Qingshan said, "I haven't been to Luban Hutong yet, so I'll stop by and take a look. If you find anything nice, I can buy it for your sister-in-law."

After hearing what he said, Ye Laosan stopped objecting, and the group rode their horses straight to Luban Hutong.

When a few people arrived, they found that Ye Laosi was already waiting at the intersection with a horse.

"Old Four?"

"Brother Qingshan?"

Ye Lao San and Ye Lao Si asked the question at the same time.

Ye Lao San originally did not ask Ye Lao Si to come along today, for fear of delaying his work.

But Ye Laosi was still worried after thinking about it, so he finally ran over.

Who would have thought that Ye Qingshan would follow and be caught red-handed.

Ye Qingshan said to Ye Lao Si, "I'll be there with you, and I've brought along some knowledgeable people who won't let the third brother get cheated. You can go back and do whatever you need to do, don't worry!"

With Ye Qingshan's words, Ye Laosi quickly said: "Okay, with Brother Qingshan accompanying me, there's nothing to worry about. I'll go back now."

After he finished speaking, without waiting for anyone else to speak, he whipped his horse's butt and galloped away.

Ye Lao San was worried that Ye Qingshan would have something against Ye Lao Si because of this, so he rushed to help him and said, "Originally, I said that he didn't need to come. It's all my fault that I can't read, so Lao Si is always worried about me..."

Ye Qingshan didn't think about it that way at all. After listening to Ye Lao San's words, he said, "Isn't that what brothers do? Help each other. Otherwise, what kind of brothers are we?"

After getting off their horses, a few people walked into the alley. No one knew what day it was today, but there were quite a lot of people strolling here, and the alley was quite lively.

As Ye Lao San led his men inside, he said, "Lao Si has already asked someone to help inquire about it. There is nothing wrong with this house and yard.

"The landlord is a local resident of the capital, and his family are honest and decent people. Several generations have never committed any crime.

"I've already discussed the price he mentioned last time with the young owner, and it's not high. We plan to rent it for two years first and then decide whether to renew it.

"I'm here mainly to trouble Mr. Zhu to check if there are any problems with the written contract."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Zhu quickly said that he dared not.

He originally worked in the general's mansion, and helping the general's relatives deal with such minor problems was part of his job.

Seeing that even General Ye had come along, Mr. Zhu naturally understood the position of Ye Lao San in Ye Qingshan's heart. He was definitely not the kind of annoying poor relative.

So he was very polite and respectful to Ye Lao San along the way.

As they were talking, the group arrived at the door of the last courtyard.

Ye Qingshan looked around and frowned as he asked, "Even though good wine needs no bush, isn't this a bit too far?"

"It's okay, we don't make gadgets or ornaments, we make large home furnishings, so the first thing we need is a big enough place.

"As for the rest, we'll figure it out when the time comes!"

Because we had made an appointment to come over today, the landlord was already waiting in the house.

After Ye Laosan entered the house and exchanged a few words with the landlord, he asked Mr. Zhu to help write the deed.

He explained to the landlord a little embarrassedly: "I can't read a single word, so I can only ask Mr. Zhu to come over and help me. Please don't mind."

The landlord is indeed a straightforward person.

"Well, what's the big deal? That's how business should be done. It's better to make it clear and transparent in person."

"Yes, that's the best." Ye Lao San agreed.

Renting a yard is a waste of talent for Mr. Zhu.

While Ye Laosan was talking to the landlord, Mr. Zhu had already written the deed.

It not only states the identities and addresses of both parties, but also clearly states the lease period, rent, how to resolve any disputes, how to repair any damage to the house, and even the scope of self-decoration and renovation.

After reading the deed, the landlord couldn't help but praise it, "Mr. Zhu, this deed is so comprehensive.

"I'm going to keep this deed safe. Next time I rent a house, I'll just have someone copy it. It'll save me a lot of trouble."

This made everyone laugh.

Mr. Zhu spoke modestly, placing the written and duplicated deed on the table and saying, "Since there's no problem, both of you can sign it directly. We'll then take it to the government office for a record, and then I'll pay you one year's rent as written in the deed."

The landlord was just about to sign when there was a sudden bang outside.

Everyone turned their heads to look into the yard, only to see someone kicking open the gate and walking in.

The man was still yelling, "Where is the landlord? Come out now!"

The landlord was shocked and thought to himself that he didn't even know this person!

But he still hurried out to ask, "I am the landlord. May I ask what you gentlemen want from me?"

"My master has taken a fancy to your yard and is ready to buy it. Name your price!"

"Ah?" The landlord was startled when he heard this, and quickly said, "My dear, I'm so sorry, this yard of ours is only for rent, not for sale. It's already been rented for two years, and we were just about to sign the contract!"

"Is there anyone who wants to rent it?" The visitor glanced into the house and saw that everyone in the house was dressed very casually, so he didn't take it seriously at all.

"You said you were about to sign and seal the contract, which means we're not too late." He said to the people in the room, "Okay, my master has bought this yard and won't rent it to you anymore. You should leave now!"

The landlord was so anxious when he heard this that he almost cried: "Sir, I really don't want to sell this house!"
