"Five taels of silver a month."
Bei Yutang was not surprised when he heard this.
Five taels of silver is more than double what it costs in Baiyun Town. The consumption level in this provincial capital is much higher than that in Baiyun Town.
"Let's go to the other one."
"Okay. The other one is nearby, just down two alleys."
Zhao Erhu walked in front to lead the way, and Bei Yutang followed behind him. The two of them did pass through two alleys, but after passing through, they found that this location was the most remote place in the entire area.
"Don't be fooled by the remote location, but that house is really nice."
Zhao Erhu opened the gate to the courtyard, which was overgrown with weeds. The house, while not shabby, wasn't in great shape either. Compared to the previous one, this one was a world apart.
The difference between the two is so great that people tend to prefer the courtyard in between.
"How much is the monthly rent for this courtyard?" Bei Yutang asked calmly.
"Four taels of silver." Zhao Erhu said.
"This is the one." Bei Yutang made the final decision.
Perhaps Bei Yutang made the decision too quickly, or perhaps her decision was too unexpected, causing Zhao Erhu to be unable to recover for a long time.
"Do you really want this yard?" Zhao Erhu couldn't help but ask.
Although this yard looked twice as large as the previous one, the house was much older and even located in the most remote area. It had been vacant for a long time and no one had rented it.
"Yes, this is the one."
Zhao Erhu finally came to his senses. Hearing her extremely affirmative answer, he felt it was incredible that she would choose this courtyard.
Zhao Erhu was very efficient and both parties signed an agreement with the homeowner.
Bei Yutang paid two months' rent, and this courtyard became their temporary home in Linzhou Prefecture.
The next day, Bei Yutang and the other two checked out of the inn and moved into the house. When Xiao Zimo and Dai Xiang saw the mess in the yard, they worried whether they could finish cleaning it today.
"Mo'er, you and Daixiang go buy some daily necessities and food." Bei Yutang ordered.
"Mother, where is this courtyard?"
"Leave it to me."
Dai Xiang said, "Sister Mu, how can you finish it all by yourself? Let's clean together. It will be faster this way."
Bei Yutang waved his hand, "No, I have a solution. Your task today is to buy the supplies."
Bei Yutang pushed Daixiang and Xiao Zimo out of the courtyard. After they left, a group of middle-aged women came to the gate. These people were temporary workers recruited by Bei Yutang from the west of the city.
"I'm going to trouble you all today."
"Thank you, sister." One of the middle-aged women said with a smile.
Of the ten women, Bei Yutang assigned four to take care of the yard and six to clean the house. These women were all accustomed to housework and were very skillful in their work.
By the afternoon, the whole courtyard looked brand new.
When Daixiang and Xiaozimo came back with a cart full of things, I almost didn't recognize them.
Dai Xiang looked at the courtyard in front of her in amazement, "Sister Mu, how did you do it all by yourself?"
Xiao Zimo was also stunned, but he quickly figured it out.
Bei Yutang said jokingly, "It became like this after I cast the spell."
Dai Xiang's eyes became bright, "Really?"
Bei Yutang looked at her dumbfounded expression and chuckled, "Silly girl, of course I was lying to you. I invited ten women to come over and help clean the place."
Daixiang suddenly understood.
At the same time, thousands of miles away among the mountains, a person of special identity entered the center of the castle.
