Chapter 297 Meeting Master by chance

   And Jiaojiao was stunned when she heard the word "National Teacher".

  He said Master?

  The man who looked like a housekeeper tore off the seal on the door of the shop. Seeing that everyone was still gathering here to watch the fun, he frowned and said, "This shop has an owner, and it will not be sold in the future. You don't need to gather here."

   After hearing this, everyone whispered and dispersed.

  Wang Zhuangzhi also brought the carriage over, and said to the children: "Get in the carriage quickly, Daddy will take you to the front to have a look."

   "Let's go, Qiusheng brings Xiao Li Erya up first." Liu Zhihua picked up Jiaojiao while talking, and walked towards the carriage with the children.

   Qiusheng first helped his younger siblings into the carriage, and then stood aside to help his mother who was holding his younger sister until the whole family got into the carriage.

  At this time,

  A simple and large carriage slowly drove up at the opposite intersection.

   Walked straight over and stopped at the door of the shop.

  The man driving the carriage was dressed in a dark suit with a serious face. He got out of the carriage first, and then raised his hand and respectfully opened the curtain.

   "Master."

  A person stepped out of the carriage,

  The man is slender, dressed in a black robe, his face is white like jade, his black eyebrows are like swords, his phoenix eyes are clear, and he looks very noble.

  Jiaojiao, who was sitting in the carriage, opened the curtain to look out, and saw this scene.

  She stood up excitedly, it was Master!

  She opened the curtain a little more, and looked at the figure with her mouth pursed.

   After Rong Yan got off the carriage, he walked straight into the shop, and everyone saw only a figure from his back.

   "Baby, what are you looking at?"

  As Liu Zhihua asked, she raised her hand to straighten Jiaojiao's hair by her ears.

  Jiaojiao couldn't see Master's figure, she looked back a little disappointed, and Mother shook her head and said, "It's nothing."

  The carriage drove slowly, and Liu Zhihua was asking about the place names near Qiusheng, "Qiusheng, what is the name of this road, is it far from your school..."

   Jiaojiao rested her chin on her hand, and glanced at the shop again through the window.

   Finally met Master, but he didn't even say a word.

  I will be going home tomorrow, and Master will definitely end up here when he gets married, and I don’t know when we will meet again.

  Thinking of this, Jiaojiao is still a little sad, even more uncomfortable than the half-year agreement. Her first good friend of human beings is about to die.

  Jiaojiao was a little depressed. After becoming a human, it was the first time she encountered such a sad mood, so she simply slept in her mother's arms.

  Liu Zhihua was talking to Qiusheng, seeing that Guaibao just thought she was dozing off, so he held her in his arms and patted her to sleep.

  Wang Zhuangzhi inquired all the way, but found nothing, so he found a restaurant and had lunch first.

  After the family had eaten, they went out to see a skinny old man lying in front of the restaurant, sleeping with his upper body naked.

  Wang Zhuangzhi couldn't bear it, so he put a bunch of copper coins in his hand, and just about to leave, the old man lazily opened his eyes, glanced at the coins, yawned and got up.

   "I don't take your money for nothing. There is a courtyard in the Luo family in Beicheng for sale. It was listed in the morning. It is estimated that it has not been sold yet."

  Wang Zhuangzhi was stunned, how did he know?

   But there was no time to think about it right now, so he hurriedly clasped his fists in thanks: "Thank you, old man."

  The old man saw how polite he was to a beggar, shook his head and closed his eyes.

  Jiaojiao also heard what the old man said, looked at him, and then at the top of his head.

   It happened to be facing the window of the restaurant. The family had just been sitting there eating, and he probably heard them talking.

  Wang Zhuangzhi looked excited, asked people for directions along the way, and drove the carriage to Luo's house in Beicheng.

  When they arrived at Luo’s house, the gate of the courtyard was closed, with the official seal on it, and several neighbors were chatting nearby.

  Jiaojiao can clearly hear their conversation.

   "Master Luo, who was clean and honest, could end up like this. It's really pitiful to be ransacked by the court."

   "I heard that the family offended someone, and their subordinates were exiled together. Poor Mrs. Naluo eats vegetarian food and recites Buddhism. She doesn't wear gold jewelry on weekdays. The family is extremely frugal, and they even go to the temple to donate sesame oil money every month."

   "Hey, there is also that little lady who went through the door. She is pregnant and doesn't know if she will keep the fetus. She often makes jujube cakes for us. It's really lucky..."

  After Jiaojiao heard this, she saw that her father was about to get off the carriage, so she said to her father, "Father, where are the aunts and uncles, why don't we inquire about it first, and then go to the yard."

  Wang Zhuangzhi glanced at him, nodded and said with a smile, "Okay, Dad listens to Jiaojiao."

   After finishing speaking, Wang Zhuangzhi stepped forward to ask questions with a kind expression.

   Those people saw him as a stranger and didn't want to talk too much, so Wang Zhuangzhi had no choice but to tell him about his idea of ​​buying a courtyard, and pointed to the family on the carriage, explaining that their family came from other places and they were not liars, and the eldest son of the family was still studying in the Imperial College.

  An old lady looked at Wang Zhuangzhi differently when she heard about Guozijian, and spoke to him in a low voice.

  Seven days ago, Dali Temple confiscated the homes of two officials, the Kang family and the Luo family. The two families lived together in Beicheng. The official family cleaned up the courtyard and listed it for sale yesterday.

   Coincidentally, the shop they were looking at just now belonged to the Kang family, but it had just been bestowed as a national teacher by the emperor, and the place they were going to look at now was an ordinary house belonging to the Luo family.

  Master Luo is incorruptible, the courtyard is very simple, there is no furniture in the house, and there are chickens and ducks growing fruits and vegetables in the backyard. The host who came in the morning thought it was too simple and did not pay attention.

  Wang Zhuangzhi thought it was very suitable to hear about it. They were originally farmers, and it was only comfortable to live in such a courtyard.

  Wang Zhuangzhi had a smile on his face, and he was not in a hurry to look at the yard, but walked back to the carriage and talked to the ladies and children about the situation.

  Liu Zhihua lifted the curtain upon hearing this, glanced at the yard, and asked, "Qiu Sheng, how far is this place from your academy?"

  Qiu Sheng pursed his lips, shook his head and said, "It's two streets away, but it's not too far away."

  He knew that his father and mother suddenly wanted to buy a house, probably because he wanted to buy a shop just now, so he still hesitated.

  Hearing this, Liu Zhihua looked at her son with a smile on her face and said, "Then Qiusheng can see if parents buy this courtyard?"

   Qiusheng looked at his mother, looked at the courtyard outside, nodded after hesitating for a moment and said: "This place is near the Imperial College, and the environment is quieter than Nancheng. If you buy it later, you won't worry about selling it."

  Besides, the courtyards in Beicheng are not easy to come across. Buying a courtyard will give the family a place to stay in the future. The younger siblings should go to school. It will be more convenient if they come to the capital.

  After hearing this, Liu Zhihua led the children out of the car, and said to the owner: "Okay, then let's stay here and knock on the door first to ask the price."

   "Oh, good."

  Wang Zhuangzhi stepped forward to ask.

Looking at the yard, Qiusheng whispered to his mother, "Mother, the shops on the street cost five thousand taels. This small courtyard for people shouldn't be that expensive. Besides, its gate is a bit shabby, and the decoration is not gorgeous. It's about half the price." can come down."
