Chapter 551 Is It You?

"It's here." Zhang Heng turned to the tooth and said humanely, "How much is the rent?"

"The rent is not high, only two yuan a month." The dental man scratched his head, hesitant to speak.

Zhang Heng was patrolling the house with a lantern, not paying much attention to the expression on the teether behind him, and continued, "Then when can we sign the contract? It's a bit late today, uh, but I probably have something to do tomorrow morning, early in the morning, Can he come over in the morning?"

"No, no, no, don't bother. My boss is next door. If you make up your mind, my lord, I can call her over right now."

"Is it so close?" Zhang Heng was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, it's normal. Obviously, the family's mansion is relatively large, and it's normal to rent out a part of it to make money. Speaking of which, the wall on his left looks real. It looked like it was newly built, so he didn't think much about it. He nodded and said, "I'm sorry."

Yaren's hands and feet were very nimble, and he brought the landlord next door over after a while.

Before the two of them arrived, the voice came out from the door, and the toothpaste said, "Don't say that I didn't help you, I found you a tenant with a lot of money, and I didn't frown when I heard the rent of two pennies." Just now, don't drive them away this time, otherwise no one in this area will dare to rent your house in the future."

Another voice snorted coldly, "What kind of tenants did you introduce to me? The last time that guy was twitchy when he saw me, I just taught him a little bit. It's already for your sake."

Yaren rolled his eyes when he heard the words, "That's how men are, that guy just wants to take advantage of drinking too much, there's no need to make such a fuss."

"Why is this making a fuss over a molehill? I just got angry when I said it. I bumped into three samurai from the Changzhou domain in the market today. They drew their swords in the street and wanted to bully the two children. It's a shame that so many men present didn't want to stop them at all. ..."

Zhang Heng felt that the voice was a bit familiar before, and when he heard the other party talking about what happened in the market, he immediately confirmed the identity of the speaker.

The person who came was none other than the female warrior named Akane Xiaoshan who had seen a rough road before and defeated Yamada with a wooden knife.

Zhang Heng didn't expect the two to meet again not long after they separated, and he happened to rent the other's house.

During the conversation, the two had already walked to the yard, and Zhang Heng also lost the only chance to leave directly.

The moment the four eyes met, even the air became a little awkward.

…………

"It's you?" Xiao Shanqian raised her eyebrows, just about to say something, but then she seemed to think of something, and swallowed the words abruptly.

On the other side, the Yaren boy was still proudly asking for credit, "Well, as soon as I saw this adult, I knew that he was going to do great things. If he becomes famous in the future, your small courtyard might not be able to do so. The name will be left in history."

"It's just him, let's find some clean clothes to wear first." Xiao Shanqian said angrily. To be honest, Zhang Heng's current attire of a down-and-out rogue is far from that of the wealthy customers that Yakou said. Xiaoshanqian even doubted him. Are you able to pay the rent?

Zhang Heng could understand Xiao Shanxi's worries, but what he didn't expect was that the latter didn't mention the rent after that, but just said with a straight face, "Since you want to live with me from now on, you must abide by my rules. First of all, you are not allowed to destroy every plant and tree here. Secondly, you are not allowed to drink too much. If you want to drink flower wine, you can go to the place where you drink flower wine. Finally, the most important thing is not to be like the three Changzhou warriors today. Also relying on your own martial arts to do evil and bully the people in the neighborhood," she paused at this point, "Well, forget about the last one, you probably don't have much martial arts, otherwise you wouldn't have stood still at that time."

"..."

Zhang Heng was speechless.

"If there is no problem, let's enter the house and sign the contract." Xiao Shanqian urged.

Zhang Heng thought about it for a while, and there is nothing wrong with Xiao Shanqian's words alone, and they are all reasonable. Although the previous residents who listened to the dentist's words were beaten and driven away, it seems that their own problems are bigger Some, he has been shopping for a long time, and he has seen a few houses, but he is not so satisfied, and he may not be able to find a better one if he keeps looking, so he simply lives here.

So Zhang Heng signed the lease contract with Xiao Shanqian very quickly. He had already exchanged the small penal for douban silver and copper coins, and immediately paid Yaren's commission and this month's rent after signing the contract.

Xiao Shanqian, the owner, seemed a little surprised to see him take out the money.

Zhang Heng explained, "I didn't have any money with me at the time, and I earned the money later."

"You made it?" Xiao Shanqian looked skeptical, "Is it so easy to make money in Kyoto now? You can make such a large amount of money in a short time."

"To be honest, I have actually traveled around Western countries and know their languages ​​better, so I just found a job as a translator."

"You still understand the language of Westerners. Well, your Japanese is a bit strange. Is it because you have been in Western countries for too long?" Xiao Shanqian suddenly looked at Zhang Heng again. At least, it takes a lot of courage to leave home and travel thousands of miles away to Western countries these days, and the vast majority of people who go abroad have the idea of ​​finding a way out for their own country.

This made Xiao Shanqian look at Zhang Heng a little bit higher. She thought for a while and said, "I live in the dojo next door. If you want to practice swords, you can find me there."

Zhang Heng thanked politely, and the matter of the house was over. Xiao Shanqian and Yaren left together. Zhang Heng couldn't make a fire to cook because he hadn't had time to buy any ingredients, so he had to go to the Siwen House by the roadside to buy. Order a snack and make do with the meal.

Afterwards, he went back to his small courtyard, took a simple wash, lay on the folded blanket, and listened to the sound of the branches being shaken by the wind outside, thus spending his first night in the Edo period.

Now that he accepted Gabriel's small sentence, Zhang Heng still decided to take a little responsibility, and rushed to the tea house between the docks early the next morning, but Gabriel himself slept late, and it was almost noon. It wasn't until that time, and he seemed relieved to see Zhang Heng coming as scheduled.

In fact, last night, he was also a little bit guilty. He wondered if the ronin in front of him would take the money and run away. After all, earlier in Japan, there were even some people with lofty ideals who specifically assassinated Westerners. Ridiculous means to defend the country, fortunately, this kind of thing has been much less in recent years.

A smile appeared on Gabriel's face, and he said, "Our activities today are very relaxed. We will try Kyoto cuisine first, and then we will go to a sumo wrestling game. In the evening, the local businessmen will hold a banquet for us. , I’ll just go by myself when the time comes, your day’s work will be over, how about it, isn’t it easy to make money?”

Zhang Heng was noncommittal when he heard the words. He knew that Gabriel must have planned something when he chose to act alone. There is a high probability that his activities today were just deception, but Zhang Heng didn't point it out. Just like Gabriel said, at least today's money is still very good. of.
