102, Buy a Haunted House
"Okay, come on, follow me." Grandpa Jing wiped away his tears again.
Wuyan girl is back, and Minglang has been waiting.
Ming Wuyan and Meng Ge quietly followed Jing Lao for about a quarter of an hour, and arrived at a dilapidated Town God's Temple near Chengxiao. Before they got close, they heard a child yelling.
"Sister Yan is back, Sister Yan is back."
With this sound, all the people in the Town God's Temple rushed out, men, women, old and young, all excited. The three people who came from far and near, many of them had tears in their eyes. Light.
For them, Ming Wuyan is their common hope. This child was brought up by them, and she was sent to them at home from time to time after entering Yutian Academy. Everyone regarded her as their relative.
The yell just now was the brother Baozi who worshiped Ming Wuyan as an idol.
Ming Wuyan looked at the group of people who ran out and surrounded her, and her eyes couldn't help but get moist.
Speaking of which, she didn't remember most of them, but the one who left a deep impression on her was that very ambitious Baozi brother. When she went to Yutian Academy, he said that he would also go to Yutian Academy in the future.
Grandpa Jing fended everyone off for Ming Wuyan, "Let Wuyan girl go and see her father, everyone make way."
Everyone immediately made way for Ming Wuyan to walk in.
When Ming Wuyan saw the deep and scorched Daddy Cheap, who had only breathed a sigh of relief, Ming Wuyan's tears fell down.
Meng Ge pulled her up, and said softly: "Junior Sister, don't be sad, I'll go and prepare some hot water and clean towels for me, I'll take a look for you first."
"Yeah." Ming Wuyan wiped away her tears and stood up.
She took out a clean towel from her own space, brought a basin, and directly filled the spring-like spirit storage liquid in the space for Meng Ge to use as pure water, and then used her Linglong cauldron to boil a large furnace of boiling water .
All of these were completed in an instant, making the eyes of those standing on the side look straight.
Someone beside him sighed, "It's better to learn more skills! Baozi, I will learn from your sister Wuyan in the future, you know?"
Baozi nodded vigorously, "Well, I will definitely learn from Sister Yan."
Ming Wuyan didn't have time to care about other people at the moment, she just patted Baozi's head lightly, and then looked at this Town God's Temple.
Although this place was not small, it was crowded with fifty or sixty people from the slums, and it seemed that my father was not the only one who was injured here.
After thinking about it, she took out a few bottles of repairing pills that she had refined from the space, and then taught them to Grandpa Jing, explaining: "Grandpa Jing, this is the repairing pills that I refined by myself, you give it to the injured person. Li, I'll go out for a while."
Jing Lao nodded, but when he heard that she was going out, he still worried: "Girl, it's getting dark now, where are you going?"
Ming Wuyan explained softly: "This place is really not suitable for everyone to live in, nor is it suitable for my father to recover from his injuries. I want to find a place to settle everyone down."
The old man suddenly sighed, "Girl Wuyan, you don't need to be busy. Someone from the royal family said that we are not allowed to enter Beijing in the future. If we didn't want to wait for you to come back, we would have left here long ago."
"Why?" Ming Wuyan's face turned cold.
The old man sighed again, and while distributing medicine to everyone, he said: "The slums were designated for temporary residence by the homeless when the emperor ascended the throne and amnesty the world. The current situation is considered a refugee, and they cannot stay in the city for a long time."
Ming Wuyan frowned, "If there is no title deed, we will buy a house with a title deed."
"Girl Wuyan, we used all the money you brought back last time to repair the house, and there is nothing left."
Speaking of this, Jing Lao felt very guilty. If he had known earlier, he would not have spent all of it and kept some for spare.
Fortunately, the precious medicinal materials brought back by Wuyan girl were used in Minglang's medicine, so it would not be a waste, otherwise the loss would be even more serious.
"It's okay, I have. Grandpa, do you have anything you like?" Ming Wuyan calculated her remaining silver taels, buying a few houses should be enough.
"Silly girl, how much money do you have, leave the rest for your father to treat his illness!" Jing Lao felt that Ming Wuyan should have had all the money he earned brought back to him, even if there was any money left, How much can be left.
Mingming's condition is very serious, and there is nothing he can do. He only hopes that this girl's senior brother can cure Qingming, so that Wuyan can rely on her in the future.
Ming Wuyan no longer talked about the amount of money with Grandpa Jing, but walked over to Meng Ge and said, "Brother, my father will ask you, I will go out for a while, and I will be back in a while, you don't have to worry."
Meng Ge nodded, "Go ahead, be careful on the road."
"Yeah." Ming Wuyan took out a large bag of uncooked wonton left over from yesterday, took out a bag of rice and a bag of flour, and handed them to an old woman next to her.
"Cook and eat, there are not many things."
The aunt nodded gratefully, and asked two people to go down to cook.
Seeing that Ming Wuyan was going out, Baozi followed immediately, "Sister Yan, can I go out with you?"
Ming Wuyan hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, let's go together."
The night in the capital city is still quite lively. In the evening when it is bustling, Ming Wuyan is walking on the street with buns. Her goal is very clear, she wants to see where there are shops for sale.
Baozi was attracted by the smell of food around him, and looked left and right from time to time.
Ming Wuyan knew that he was hungry, so she bought him four meat buns at a nearby stall, and said softly, "Eat it!"
Immediately, the steamed stuffed bun started to gobble it up, and Ming Wuyan felt sad for a while.
It's really pitiful for such a half-sized child to not have enough to eat when he is growing up.
Fearing that he would choke, Ming Wuyan casually took a cup of spiritual liquid for him from the space, and said softly, "Eat slowly!"
"Thank you, Sister Yan." The four steamed buns, the steamed stuffed bun brother finished eating in a short while, took the water from Ming Wuyan's hand and gulped it down.
After drinking, he hiccupped and said embarrassedly, "Sister Yan's water is so sweet!"
Ming Wuyan smiled faintly, "Are you full? Not full, my sister will buy more."
"I'm full, I'm full." Baozi said embarrassedly that he was actually only half full, and he hadn't had a full meal for several days.
"Sister Yan, where are we going now?"
Ming Wuyan looked at the busy street, and said calmly: "Let's see where someone wants to sell a house. If the price is right, we will buy it, so that we all have a place to live."
"Sister, I know a place in the corner of the south of the city. It used to be a medical clinic. Half a year ago, a doctor died in that place, so it was closed down. Two months ago, there was a notice posted there saying it was cheap!" Baozi said. Suddenly said very excitedly.
Because children like him have no money to go to school, they run wildly all over the city. If it is said that they are familiar with this place, the streets and alleys, on the contrary, they are the children who are the most familiar.
"Is it a medical center? Then let's go there and have a look." Ming Wuyan took Baozi to the south of the city again, and sure enough, she saw a large courtyard in the corner of the south of the city. There was a notice written on the gate of the courtyard, indicating that it was for sale.
Ming Wuyan knocked on the gatehouse next to him, and an old man opened the door immediately.
"Girl, what's the matter for coming so late?"
"Is your clinic for sale? How much money?" Ming Wuyan asked directly, not wanting to beat around the bush.
The well-dressed old man sized her up for a moment before saying, "Does the girl really want to buy it? It only needs two thousand taels of silver."
"Are the procedures complete? Can I check in immediately?" Ming Wuyan asked again.
The old man was stunned, and hurriedly said: "It's all there, if the girl needs to move in immediately, I'll go and invite the boss and the yamen servant over here."
"good."
"Girl, please wait here for a while, the old man will come as soon as he goes."
"good."
The old man didn't even have time to close the door, so he ran away immediately.
"Sister Yan, why don't you wait until tomorrow to see the house before making a decision?" Baozi felt that Sister Yan did things too neatly and too quickly.
You must know that it is two thousand taels, not twenty taels or twenty taels.
Ming Wuyan shook her head, "No, I hope everyone can settle down tonight."
Ming Wuyan didn't have to wait long, and the old concierge led people over, and they came in a carriage.
As soon as the curtain was lifted, a middle-aged old man jumped out of the carriage. He was a little surprised when he saw that it was a teenage girl who wanted to buy his own house.
Soon, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and another yamen servant and a young man got out of the carriage.
The young man was stunned for a while when he saw Ming Wuyan, "Little girl, are you going to buy a house?"
Ming Wuyan nodded, "Yes!"
Seeing her answer so neatly, the young man immediately introduced himself: "My surname is Shang, and everyone calls me Mr. Shang. I am a broker engaged in house sales. This is the owner of the house, Mr. Cheng, and this is Li Yamen, who is in charge of the contract. , if you are sure you want to buy it, girl, we can talk inside."
"Yes." Ming Wuyan nodded, it would be great to complete the procedures at once.
The old man at the porter opened the gate, and several people entered the yard one by one. Because it was already dark, the old man was busy lighting the lamps.
Because it was cold, Ming Wuyan saw that the old man couldn't light the lamp for a long time, so he took out the unused Ye Mingzhu that he had photographed in Yipinju, and the surroundings immediately brightened.
Several people in the courtyard were shocked by this huge luminous pearl. They were very surprised that such a small girl would take out such a big luminous pearl. This kind of fineness, such a lustrous luminous pearl, is probably not found in the palace. How many!
"Girl, this house is deadly. Are you sure you want to sign the contract now?" Mr. Shang kindly reminded.
"Yes, sign now." After finishing speaking, Ming Wuyan immediately took out the two thousand taels of silver and put it on the table without blinking her eyes.
"Can I ask, why is the girl so eager to buy this house?" Li Yamen servant was also a little curious.
You must know that more than one person died in this house, many people died, sick or not, as long as they lived for a long time, they all died, so even if this place is sold at a low price, no one cares about it.
Ming Wuyan didn't hide it, and directly stated that she was here to settle down the people living in the Town God's Temple.
Yamen Li and Mr. Shang were shocked when they heard that she was from the slums.
You must know that the fire half a month ago had burned half the sky red, and he had heard a lot of gossip that the people there had offended the emperor's favorite princess, and that's why their home was destroyed.
Some people said that the princess also specifically ordered that no one should help that group of people, and anyone who surrounds them will be killed!
this……
Seeing the resolute and joyful faces of these people before, Ming Wuyan became hesitant after listening to her words, and frowned involuntarily, "Why, is there a problem?"
"No, no problem." The owner, Mr. Cheng, pushed Mr. Shang and Li Yamen, "The princess just said that outsiders are not allowed to help them, and she didn't say that they can't buy a house. Once they buy a house, they are good citizens."
He must sell this haunted house today.
After hearing these words, Ming Wuyan's face was leisurely and cold, "Princess? You mean that the princess of Beimo Kingdom doesn't allow others to help us?"
Seeing that Mr. Cheng had already said it, Li Yamen said honestly: "No, the fire half a month ago was not accidental. It has been rumored in the market that there was someone who offended the emperor's favorite Princess Changyan... But the house can be bought and sold. Yes, the girl is kind, and for the sake of the poor, I will help you with the formalities."
Ming Wuyan nodded, "Thank you!"
It turned out that it was really Ming Ruoyan who did it.
She is very courageous, very good, she wants to see if she laughs in the end, or makes her cry.
"Excuse me, what's the girl's name?" Li Yamen servant looked at Ming Wuyan, ready to write the contract.
Ming Wuyan turned her head to look at Baozi who had been obediently standing beside her, "Brother Baozi, what is your first name? Write your name on this house, and my sister will entrust this place to you to take care of."
In the final analysis, the person Ming Ruoyan has to deal with is herself. In order not to leave any clues and cause unnecessary trouble, she does not intend to use her own name.
Baozi looked at her in surprise, and he stammered after a long time: "Sister Yan, my name is Ling An."
Ming Wuyan nodded, and said to Li Yamen servant: "The name of the head of the household should be Ling'an."
"Okay!" Li Yamen quickly wrote Ling An's name on the contract.
After Mr. Shang and Father Cheng signed the painting, they handed the contract to Ling An, "Little brother, sign your name here."
Ling An blushed and rubbed her hands, then gently pulled Ming Wuyan's sleeve, "Sister Yan, I, I can't read."
Ming Wuyan was slightly stunned, then took out a blank piece of paper, took the pen and paper, and taught Ling An to write his name.
