Chapter 267
Wang Yanqing rolled his eyes secretly, he was really dedicated, and he entered the play in the blink of an eye. Wang Yanqing said quietly: "It's nothing, it's just that you don't look like a despicable literati. It is more credible to say that the examiner is a private interviewer."
Unlucky, literati, except for "people", no other word fits Lu Heng.
Sometimes, even the word "human" can't describe Lu Heng.
Lu Heng sighed slightly and said very sadly, "Cousin, I will be very sad if you say that."
The two chatted and laughed, and Jian'an Lane arrived soon. There are many bookstores near Jian'an Lane. Most of the literati booksellers live here. Suddenly, two outstanding faces, such as Lu Heng and Wang Yanqing, suddenly attracted a lot of attention. Wang Yanqing pretended to be cowardly and hid behind Lu Heng, and asked in a low voice, "How do you plan to 'know' Ji Huan?"
Lu Heng lowered his head to appease Wang Yanqing, and his lips moved gently in her ear: "How much courage can a literati with no strength in his hands be, just make a little noise."
As soon as Wang Yanqing heard it, he understood that Lu Heng had brought Jin Yiwei, and he didn't know where the manpower was hidden, but it was obvious that the Ji family was going to encounter some accidents in a while. Wang Yanqing silently lit a stick of incense for Ji Huan, but Lu Heng was staring at him, so he was unlucky.
The two of them walked towards Ji's house while talking. Suddenly, a door in front opened, and a lady in a blue shirt and blue skirt came out. She was stunned when she saw the person at the intersection, and then lowered her head, facing the woman behind. The person said, "Sister-in-law Sun, thank you for coming to accompany me. You walk slowly on the road."
The woman who spoke was in her early twenties, dressed in commoner clothes, but had a bookish air about her, and spoke in a gentle manner. The woman she called Sister-in-law Sun was probably in her thirties, with a strong waist, holding a sewing basket in one hand, and waving it carelessly in the other: "Hey, what's the matter. I'm idle all day, if you have something to do? Just shout at the alley, and I will come to you as soon as I open my hands."
The weak lady should be, thank you politely. Wang Yanqing and Lu Heng were standing not far away. When Sister-in-law Sun saw them, she couldn't help looking at them one after another.
These two men are handsome and beautiful, with extraordinary temperament, and they are like gods in the play. Sister-in-law has lived for so many years, and she has never seen such a beautiful character. Two unfamiliar faces appeared at the door of the house, and I had to ask. Sister-in-law Sun asked, "I haven't seen you before, are you here to find someone?"
Lu Heng replied: "I heard that there is an empty house here, let's ask the specific situation."
Sister-in-law snorted, and suddenly realized: "You are also here to ask about Ji's house? You are late and rented it out at the beginning of the year."
Lu Heng was surprised and couldn't believe it: "Have you rented it out?"
"Yes." Sister-in-law Sun pointed behind her and said, "This is the suite, which has been rented to Lady Jane and the others."
It turned out that the woman's last name was Jane. Seeing that Lady Jane mentioned her, she nodded slightly to Lu Heng and Wang Yanqing with a restrained expression on her face. Lu Heng showed a subtle expression of surprise and regret, and sighed: "It turns out that we came a step late. Cousin, I would have listened to you if I knew it earlier, and shouldn't hesitate for the rent. What can I do now?"
Wang Yanqing watched Lu Heng's performance silently, but she didn't notice it for a while, but she actually acted on her. Wang Yanqing quickly controlled the expression on his face and shook his head weakly: "I don't know either."
Wang Yanqing kicked the ball back to Lu Heng unceremoniously. If he wanted to play him, Wang Yanqing would not take the blame. Lu Heng sighed regretfully, and asked, "Where is the landlord of Ji's family, I want to ask something in person."
Sister-in-law Sun looked embarrassed. There were still people living in the house. They were going to see the landlord. I'm afraid this is not good? Unexpectedly, Lady Jane showed them the way and said, "Brother Ji Huan lives next door. Brother Ji just came back. Go inside and ask."
Lu Heng thanked him and walked to the next door. When they knocked on the door, Lady Jane also said goodbye to Sister-in-law Sun and closed the door. The house in Jian'an Lane is not large. Standing in the alley, you can clearly hear the sounds of cooking, scolding children, and husband and wife bickering on both sides. However, after they knocked on the door and waited for a while, footsteps came from inside.
A woman opened the door halfway and saw Lu Heng and Wang Yanqing, her expression stunned: "You are..."
Lu Heng glanced calmly behind her, but smiled gently on his face, and said, "We heard from Lord Chen that there is an empty house in Jian'an Lane, so we stopped by and asked."
Wang Yanqing didn't know who Chen Ye was at all, but from Lu Heng's voice, he guessed that he should be a man, doing business such as reselling and leasing. Wang Yanqing was surprised that Lu Heng was a standard son of a military officer and aristocrat, and I am afraid that he would never have to rent a house in his life, but he knew all about three ways. Now pretending to be an ordinary person, "Chen Ye", there is no reluctance at all, except that he looks too handsome, he really does have the meaning of a literati.
No wonder Jin Yiwei claims to be omniscient and all-pervasive, and they even infiltrate the lower class. I just don't know whether that "Master Chen" was used by Lu Heng, or whether he was a secret spy by Jin Yiwei.
When the woman heard this, her face became better, and she let the door open: "So it was introduced by Chen Ye. The two of you came in and talked."
The woman welcomed Lu Heng and Wang Yanqing in, and hurriedly called to the room. Wang Yanqing guessed that this was Ji Huan's wife Chang Tinglan. Ji Huan was called out by his wife. After hearing the intention of Lu Heng and the two, he said embarrassedly, "To be honest, our house was rented out at the beginning of the year. I don't know. When do you need a seat?"
