Chapter 1238 Chao Xiaoshu

When Wang Yue came out of the weapons shop again, his big backpack was gone, and there was already a lot of silver in his small backpack, so he didn't have to worry about spending money in Beijing.

This also solved a problem in front of him and made Wang Yue feel that friends like the princess could still be dealt with.

Just as Wang Yue was about to leave easily, someone suddenly shouted from behind him, "Brother, walk slowly."

Wang Yue turned around and saw a middle-aged man holding a sword. The man looked a little bohemian, but he had a confident temperament around him.

He was sure that he didn't know this person, so he asked with some confusion, "You called me?"

The middle-aged man nodded and said politely, "Yeah, I wonder if you have time to chat?"

Wang Yue raised his eyebrows. He had just arrived in Kyoto, and someone was looking for him right away. This was too strange. He used his spiritual power to sense it and found that this man was also a monk, but he couldn't see the other person's realm.

Thinking that he would not offend anyone, he nodded and said casually, "No problem, I wonder where you want to talk, is it here or somewhere else?"

Seeing that Wang Yue agreed, the middle-aged man smiled and said, "There is a teahouse ahead. Let's go there and chat."

Wang Yue was not polite. He had a judgment in his mind. It was very likely that he had been followed after he entered Chang'an City and got out of the princess's motorcade. Otherwise, he was the only one who wanted to practice without confusion, and there should be no one. Find him.

Now that he knew what he was doing, he followed the middle-aged man to the teahouse. After the middle-aged man ordered a pot of tea, he pretended to be curious and asked, "This is my first time in Kyoto. I don't know about you." What do you want from me?"

The middle-aged man couldn't help but smile when he saw Wang Yue pretending to be confused, and then said bluntly, "I met you on the street coming out of the princess's motorcade. At that time, you were carrying a big package. In the blink of an eye, Just seeing you pick out a sword and a flute and sell the other things, brother, is this because you are short of money?"

Wang Yue glanced at the middle-aged man in surprise. He didn't expect this man to show off his cards directly. Is this too confident?

So, he said openly, "Of course, living in Chang'an is not easy. We foreigners want to live here permanently, but it will cost a lot of money."

Seeing Wang Yue's frankness, the middle-aged man asked with some surprise, "I see that your current state has reached the top level, and you can advance to Dongxuan at any time. How can a monk like you still be with the princess?" Short of money?"

Wang Yue didn't hide anything, and said casually, "I'm sorry, I'm not actually the princess's lover. Not long ago, I was a soldier in the border army. The princess happened to need a guide, so she came to Kyoto. Do you want to try to go to the academy? have a look."

The middle-aged man thought that Wang Yue was preparing to take the academy exam, so he thought he could try Wang Yue to see the reaction of the Qing Yun Department.

So, he nodded and said in agreement, "The academy! Many people want to visit Chang'an. My name is Chao Xiaoshu. I live in Chunfeng Pavilion. I have some property in my family. If you don't mind, I I can arrange a place for you.”

Wang Yuecai didn't believe that pie would fall from the sky for nothing, so he asked curiously, "What do I need to pay?"

He shrugged at Xiaoshu and said casually, "As long as you don't move! I don't need to charge you rent!"

Seeing that Chao Xiaoshu didn't want to hide his intentions, Wang Yue asked bluntly, "You didn't offend someone, did you? I'm an outsider and I don't have any backers in Chang'an City."

He smiled at Xiaoshu and said casually, "Not to mention that the princess seems to be very interested in you, let's just say that you may enter the Cave Mysterious Realm at any time, and no one will let a monk move, even if it is a move, I will also invite you to a better place, and I have made a friend, so I won’t suffer any loss no matter what.”

Wang Yue still felt that it was not good to offend someone for nothing, but the other party did not hide his intention, so he went straight to the point and asked, "Who is the other party?"

Chao Xiaoshu saw that Wang Yue's question was direct, and he also answered directly, "It's the Qingyun Division Yamen. Don't worry, they won't do anything violent as long as I'm here. I just saw that you didn't even give the princess the face. I think you won’t give face to a small Qingyun Secretary. Of course, the other party may not know that you don’t give face to the princess. I also want to see if the other party gives face to the princess?”

Wang Yue understood what the other party said was so roundabout. He thought about it for a while and then said frankly, "Let's make a deal first. If the other party sends out practitioners, I will leave immediately. If the other party negotiates, , I definitely won’t leave, what do you think?”

Chao Xiaoshu couldn't help but laugh when he saw that Wang Yue said such things openly. He said cheerfully, "You are a good person, quick to talk, I like it!"

Wang Yue took a sip of tea, and then said seriously, "If you didn't trick me, then looking at the house you let me live in for free, I would have only made a friend so-so."

Chao Xiaoshu understood the other meaning of Wang Yue's words. He drank all the tea in his hand, and then said with a smile, "Let's go, I will take you to see the house now. You still need to go to the house by yourself." When it comes to subletting, I’m just exempting you from rent.”

Wang Yue also drank all the tea in his hand, and then said naturally, "Of course!"

…

Neither of them was talking nonsense. After drinking tea, they immediately got up and left. Soon they came to an alley and looked at the sign at the entrance of the alley. They were facing Alley 47.

Wang Yue looked at the closed shops on both sides of the street and asked with some confusion, "Are these forced to leave by the Qing Yun Department? This is the emperor's feet, so he shouldn't be so overbearing in doing things, right?"

Chao Xiaoshu shook his head helplessly. He didn't want to mention these things, so he patiently explained to Wang Yue, "These shops are for business. Although I gave them a guarantee, they are still subletting the house. They don't want to Offending the Qingyun Si Yamen. I was worried that someone would pay for their contract, so I happened to meet you and came up with this idea."

Of course Wang Yue understood that if it was purely for money, Chao Xiaoshu would probably sell the alley directly, then he must have other motives.

However, this is none of his business. He just needs to be a nail in the door. Not to mention, he has never experienced this feeling before. He didn't expect to experience it once in this world.

No, he just rented the house from the owner.

By the way, I don’t know who came up with this name. If you want to sell your house, you can sell it, but if you don’t want to, you can’t. How can you become a stuck household?

…

With this strange idea, Wang Yue soon saw a house at the corner of the street. This place used to be a tea shop, but now a sublease sign was posted on the door.

When Wang Yue saw this scene, he opened the door and walked in. He found that the tea sets were complete, including all kinds of tea leaves. He only needed to take over and open a teahouse right away.

The other party saw that Wang Yue came with Chao Xiaoshu. Although he didn't know Chao Xiaoshu, he saw the doorman greeting Chao Xiaoshu at the entrance of the alley just now, so he didn't raise the price much. Sold all the belongings in the entire store to Wang Yue.

Seeing that Wang Yue had concluded the business deal, Chao Xiaoshu smiled cheerfully and said, "Boss Wang, I will patronize your business often in the future."

As Wang Yue closed the door, he pretended to be a little confused and said, "Are you trying to drink back the rent you lost?"

Chao Xiaoshu saw that Wang Yue was joking, so he smiled helplessly. Just as he was about to say something, he saw Wang Yue locking the door, and asked in confusion, "What are you doing? No way." Are you really worried about me drinking tea at your place?"

Wang Yue shook his head and said with a smile, "I really miss you. If you come here to drink tea every day, no one will come to make trouble. I am planning to wait for two friends to go. We have made an appointment and are waiting at the entrance of Zhuque Street. .”

Seeing that Wang Yue had his own things to do, Chao Xiaoshu didn't bother him, and left holding his sword. When he was leaving, he said without looking back, "If you need anything, you can go to Chunfeng Pavilion to find me! They all Call me Chunfengting Laochao."

Wang Yue's name sounds quite elegant. He is indeed a big shot in a street in Kyoto, and the place where he lives is famous.

He was talking as he walked towards Zhuque Street, but as soon as he reached the street, it suddenly started to rain. Pedestrians on the road went to Shizhou's shops to take shelter from the rain.

Wang Yue took a look and saw a grocery store nearby, so he quickly walked over and bought an umbrella.

But just as he picked up the umbrella and walked back to the street, the rain that started suddenly stopped suddenly without any warning.

He muttered, "No wonder some people say that June Day is like a child's tears, they just fall away."

But when he was talking, he suddenly felt something was wrong. It didn't seem like it was June yet. It was really strange.

Wang Yue thought to himself, put away his umbrella, and walked slowly. He felt that Ning Que must have just entered the city not long ago. If he wanted to find Zhuque Street, it would probably take a while.

When he arrived at Zhuque Street, he found that Sangsang and Ning Que were not there. He found a restaurant nearby and sat by the window, eating and paying attention.

When he finished eating, he still didn't see Ning Que and Sangsang. He thought with some suspicion that these two people couldn't be at the other end of the street, right?

Did they go to see the imperial city?

You must know that one end of this Zhuque Street is connected to the Imperial City, and the other end is connected to the city gate, which is the gate through which Princess Li Yu entered the city.

As for Ning Que, they were just ordinary people. It was impossible for them to enter the city through the gate on Zhuque Street. They could only enter the city through the gates on both sides.

The position that Wang Yue came to was a position that Ning Que could reach no matter which gate on either side he took to enter the city.

But it's been so long, why hasn't Ning Que Sang Sang appeared yet? He hesitated for a moment, then simply walked around on the street, just to see what the capital of this world looked like?

Just as he looked at it, he suddenly felt something strange. You know, he is proficient in formations. He vaguely felt that these star-studded streets, when connected with Suzaku Street, looked like a large formation, which made him very interested.

In the blink of an eye, it was getting dark. Wang Yue didn't know how many times he had returned to Zhuque Street. Only then did he see two people, a big one and a small one, at the intersection where he went. A big black umbrella for the logo.

Seeing Wang Yue coming from a distance, Ning Que said angrily, "Where have you gone? We've been waiting for you for a long time. This is the capital. If you get separated, we will be nowhere to be seen."

Wang Yue was speechless. He had been waiting there early in the morning, but he didn't care about Ning Que Sangsang. Instead, he said seriously, "I rented a tea shop, why don't you come live there with me?" .”

When Ning Que heard that Wang Yuecai came to Chang'an and rented a store in less than a day, he said in disbelief, "Brother Wang, are you rich? Do you know how expensive stores in Chang'an are?"

Wang Yue looked at Ning Que's disbelieving expression and knew that this guy was obviously reminding him that he was also a poor man, so he didn't believe it.

So, he glared at Ning Que with dissatisfaction, and then said with disdain, "Then are you going?"

Looking at Wang Yue's expression, Ning Que knew that Wang Yue had really rented a shop. He quickly changed his smile and said matter-of-factly, "Of course I will go! I won't go to your place, I will live with Sangsang." Where? We asked just now, it's a very low-end inn, and a night's stay costs several taels of silver."

Wang Yue shook his head helplessly. This naughty kid has money to buy wine for Sangsang to warm up, but he has no money to stay in a hotel. I don’t know what the logic is?
