Chapter 136 Rented

It’s just that the yard here is not as good as his yard in terms of location or environment.

"Now that you have seen it, do you still think my yard is good?" The host turned to Gu Yunyi and the others with a big smile.

Firstly, this was introduced by Lao Li, and secondly, since he came back, this business must be doable.

Gu Yunyi glanced at the couple, nodded, and said, "Boss, if you haven't rented it to someone else, we'll rent this house."

The boss said quickly: "No, no, I thought you guys would definitely come back. I'm not exaggerating, no other place around here has a better yard than mine. Thinking back to the past..."

Old Li cursed with a smile: "Come on, you're still thinking about what happened in the past. Hurry up and take out your contract, pay the money and leave quickly. Can't you see that I'm exhausted from the journey? Are you still waiting for a rest?"

"Okay, got it, got it!"

The contract had already been prepared long ago. As soon as the contract was taken out, the couple knew they had no chance and had to leave.

But just as they left, another family of three came in. They also looked at the house after they left.

The man had a handsome face and was wearing dark green clothes. The woman had a pair of almond-shaped eyes, thin eyebrows, and a high nose. The man was holding a baby in his arms.

Xu Qingmeng looked to be no more than three or four years old, chubby from eating, with a pair of big eyes blinking. Then she saw the baby grinning at her.

Her big eyes curved into small crescents and her smile was very healing.

This little doll is really cute.

"Boss, have you rented out this yard?" The baby holding the man looked anxious.

Although the woman didn't say anything, her expression was very anxious.

"You are late. I have already rented it to this young man." After the landlord said this, the couple were very disappointed and naturally knew that they had no chance.

However, the man holding the baby was still unwilling to give up, and stepped forward and asked, "Gentlemen, are you going to live here together?"

The woman tugged at his sleeve in annoyance and glared at him. Her man usually looked very smart, not stupid. Isn't this just right? Aren't all the people in the three rooms gathered together? Why didn't he have any eyes at all?

The man looked at Huang Boyang, then performed a scholarly salute to Gu Yunyi and the others.

He took the initiative to explain: "My name is Fang Ziheng, I am from Ling County. This time I brought my wife and son to the city to take the exam. You can see that you are also scholars. I wonder if you can do us a favor and allocate a room for us?"

Huang Boyang glanced at Gu Yunyi and said nothing.

Gu Yunyi and Zhou Yuanjia looked at each other and asked with a smile, "There are exactly three of us here, and there are only three side rooms. How can you be sure that we can spare one?"

Fang Ziheng did not hide it and said with a smile: "To be honest, we have been looking for a house here for a long time. At noon, we passed by the door and saw this old man talking to the driver. He said he was looking for a yard for a friend. When we came in just now, we saw this old man serving this young man. We guessed that this young man was the owner of the yard next door and did not need to rent this place. These two young men are his friends. And I have seen you before?"

"Oh? When have we met?" Zhou Yuanjia asked.

"You just walked out of this courtyard and we arrived at the door. Naturally, you haven't seen us, but we have seen you. Then we saw another young master with you in the courtyard inside, so we asked."

Gu Yunyi and the others bowed and said "admiration".

Fang Ziheng looked weak, but from what he said, it was clear that he was a meticulous observer.

Gu Yunyi and a few others chatted with him for a while, including some things about the college entrance examination. They saw that he could talk about everything, and his conversation gave people a sense of confidence and composure.

After negotiation, we finally agreed to rent it together.

There were no excessive demands for money. Fang Ziheng directly asked for the largest room. After all, he had a child, and he even took out two taels of silver.

Gu Yunyi and Xu Qingmeng naturally lived in the second largest room, while Zhou Yuanjia lived in the small room. However, he did not feel anything about it. Instead, he felt more comfortable and appreciated this attitude of saying whatever one wants to say.

Fang Ziheng's wife is called Hui Niang. The little baby hasn't been given a name yet, so everyone in the family calls him Yuanbao. The little guy is so soft and cute, just lying on his shoulder, eating his own food, very well-behaved.

Xu Qingmeng and the others had been busy for a long time, especially Xu Qingmeng. After confirming the room, they went back to their own rooms to pack up.

There is no need to clean the house, as the landlord has already cleaned it. The landlord also said that the bedding and other things are all new and can be used without worry.

Summer bedding is not particularly thick, so Xu Qingmeng was well prepared and brought a set of quilt covers with her. She just put on the bedding.

After finishing this, Xu Qingmeng just lay down on it.

Gu Yunyi was packing up other things. Seeing this, he stepped forward and asked, "Are you tired? Is your stomach okay?"

Xu Qingmeng nodded: "Yeah, I'm a little tired, and my whole body feels like it's falling apart. My stomach is fine, and I'll be fine after a good night's sleep."

Gu Yunyi wanted to say something, but when he turned around, he saw that Xu Qingmeng had fallen asleep.

Gu Yunyi had no choice but to give up and continued to take out the bag and put everything in place.

After Gu Yunyi finished cleaning up, he went to bed to rest. As she was too close to the wall, he put his arms around her waist and pulled her towards him.

Xu Qingmeng fell asleep, and subconsciously snuggled into his arms, finding a suitable position to continue sleeping.

Gu Yunyi's gaze lingered on the face that seemed so close to him. He leaned his head towards Xu Qingmeng, then slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep.

In the evening, when Xu Qingmeng woke up, the outside was already filled with rosy clouds. Gu Yunyi had disappeared, and no one knew when he had left.

So he planned to get up and go to the kitchen to take a look, and then see when Gu Yunyi would come back, and ask him to accompany him to the night market to buy some things.

As soon as he came out, he saw Hui Niang washing clothes by the well.

"I'm up." Hui Niang looked up and said with a smile.

Hui Niang's appearance is not very delicate, but her smile gives people a warm feeling. Yuan Bao's facial features are like his father Fang Ziheng, but when he smiles, he looks like his mother.

She didn’t know whether the baby in her belly would be more like Gu Yunyi or Xu Qingmeng. She suddenly felt more expectant.

"Why did you get up so early and didn't you see Yuanbao?" Maybe because of her pregnancy, she was quite fond of the little baby with big eyes.
