Chapter 116 With my preciousness, I can be a carver!(2/4)

The accumulation of many names such as a young gentleman, a handsome son, a noble scholar, a man who broke out of the quagmire and was once the son-in-law of Nanfu, can already be talked about by many students in the library.

Especially with Lu Jing's lectures these two days, many library students discovered that Lu Jing's cursive calligraphy was truly outstanding.

Even the few pages of pen and ink he wrote in the past two days were copied by the students who came to attend the class and passed on to the first floor.

There are much more disciples on the first floor than on the second floor.

Naturally, there are more people who like cursive writing.

They rushed to copy it, and they felt that the cursive calligraphy was extraordinary, and its beauty was as natural as that which could be encountered but not sought.

Because of this, Lu Jing, a young library gentleman, has become even more famous.

Once you have a good reputation, many things will naturally be revealed.

For example, in the early days, the painting that Lu Jing painted while listening to music and drinking in the Hua Pavilion was also discussed by busy people.

The paintings that can be listed as collections of the Oiran of Shihua Pavilion, and can produce visions after putting pen to paper, also fascinate many students in the library and never see them.

All kinds of things.

Lu Jing is becoming more and more special in this library. The young and mysterious young gentleman is also known to many people in the library.

Lu Jing didn't pay attention to this.

He finished his classes today and returned to Guyue Tower. After packing up the things in the guest room with Qing Yue, he got on the carriage that had been waiting in front of Guyue Tower and went all the way to Yanglu Street.

The two of them stayed in the Gu Yue Tower guest room for a few days.

But they had nothing to pack, except for a few trivial things and the body deed that Qing Yue regarded as a treasure, there was nothing to pack.

Qing Yue originally wanted to buy some more clothes for Lu Jing, but because Lu Jing was short of money, she put it on hold for the time being.

Lu Jing's monthly salary at this time was not small. Compared with the working people in Taixuan Capital, it was even extremely generous.

Another cloud gold coin has been added this month, bringing the total to six cloud gold coins, which is more than one hundred and eighty taels of silver.

The monthly salary is one hundred and eighty taels... Even the monthly salary of those Shiyamen who work in Jingyin Mansion is far from that high.

Today, food is valuable and occupies the main expenditure of most ordinary people.

But Lu Jing, who has a monthly salary of 180 taels of silver, no longer has to worry about food. Even if he and Qing Yue have a big meal, as long as they don't eat those luxurious ingredients, 180 taels of silver will be enough for them.

A person eats it for a year.

The reason why Lu Jing was short of money this month was naturally because he rented a small courtyard on Kongshan Mountain on Yanglu Street.

"Mr. Lu, don't worry. Although the price I gave you is not a loss, it is still very fair."

On the carriage, a middle-aged man wearing a military uniform with a smile on his face was talking to Lu Jing carefully: "Although Yanglu Street does not seem to have many pedestrians, it is because there are too many vacant houses.

The location is excellent. It is in the center of Taixuan Jing. It is close to the Jingyin Mansion, library, and Taixuan University Palace. Even if you want to go to court, it only takes less than half an hour to walk by carriage.

And the courtyard is considered brand new, and for the monthly rent of thirty taels of silver, we only earn the price of a carriage and horse."

The person who came to take Lu Jing and Qing Yue to Kongshan Lane was the Yaman from before, who was now driving a carriage.

And this middle-aged man is the shopkeeper that Yaren mentioned last time.

"This is the agreement between the owner of this building and our bank. I am taking it with me today. Once rented out, the owner of the building will take twenty-eight taels of silver from our bank every month..."

The middle-aged shopkeeper explained carefully.

The reason why he came in person today was naturally because he heard what happened that day.

The third son of the Li family in Xuandu personally sent someone to invite such a young tenant, which shows that he has an extraordinary status.

When doing business in the capital, what you fear most is accidentally provoking people with a good background, and what you most hope for is to get attached to people with a good background.

So today the middle-aged shopkeeper came to pick her up in person, and even proposed that the previous lease be voided and the rent would be waived.

Lu Jing naturally refused, not to mention that Lu Jing has always been unrewarded for his achievements.

Even if Lu Jing is willing to agree to save some money, the money is definitely not for nothing.

In the future, if anything happens to Na Ya Xing, Lu Jing will naturally be blamed.

At that time, Lu Jing could of course ignore it, and Ya Xing didn't dare to say anything, but this was too rude.

"You already have pure silver, so why should you lose your integrity for a few taels of silver when renting a pure courtyard?"

Being rich and noble without justice is like a floating cloud to me.

Lu Jing dare not say that he can always abide by this principle. After all, no one is perfect. Lu Jing is far from the virtue of a saint, and he also has selfish desires in his heart.

But he would never throw away these noble principles for a few taels of silver.

What's more, it may bring more trouble to yourself.

The carriage went all the way and when it reached Yanglu Street, the number of pedestrians on the road gradually became less and less.

When we arrived at Kongshan Alley, there were even fewer people.

Lu Jing was looking down at a letter.

Lu Yi came to Guyue Tower today and left it for Qing Yue.

In addition to greetings to Lu Jing, the letter also talked about Sheng Zi in detail.

"Shengzi is really thoughtful."

Lu Jing put away the letter and got off the carriage, but he was still thinking: "Go and see her tomorrow morning. She has been running around a lot because she is worried about me, and now she is confined at home. With her free and easy temperament, I am afraid it will be very difficult for her."

.”

The middle-aged shopkeeper took Lu Jing and Qing Yue into the small courtyard in Kongshan Lane.

The day before yesterday, Lu Jing and Qing Yue came to see the small courtyard, which was overgrown with weeds and had a lot of fallen leaves and dust.

The brick and tile buildings have also gathered dust and are not very shiny.

But when I looked back today, I saw that the three main rooms and the two side rooms had all been taken care of extremely cleanly.

The courtyard has also been carefully cleaned, and winter flowers, crab claws, longevity flowers, camellias and many other winter flowers have been planted in the garden.

He also carefully built a shed to protect the flowers and plants.

With a smile on her face, Qing Yue looked at it many times before arching her eyebrows and nodding towards the landing spot.

Before Lu Jing could say anything, the middle-aged shopkeeper immediately resigned.

Business people have long been accustomed to observing words and deeds.

After the shopkeeper left, Lu Jing and Qing Yue went out again and returned after purchasing many things.

Originally, Qingyue wouldn't let Lu Jing go out, saying that she was a maid and Lu Jing was the young master, so how could a young master go out to buy rice and noodles?

But Lu Jing ignored Qing Yue and just pulled her along.

It was getting late now, so I could only buy some cooking stoves, knives, spices, lamps and the like, but not any fresh vegetables.

Lu Jing and Qing Yue searched for a long time before they found an open rice shop and bought some rice noodles.

Lu Jing sat in the main room, closed his eyes and breathed.

Qing Yue was busy in the kitchen, taking advantage of the night to serve Lu Jing a bowl of noodles.

Or clear soup noodles.

Qing Yue had also asked Lu Jing before if he wanted to change his dishes, but Lu Jing seemed to have a special liking for clear soup noodles.

The two sat in the room and each ate noodles.

Qingyue let down her long hair and cleared the dishes on the table, with a smile on her face that she couldn't hide at all.

But Lu Jing felt a little sad.

Because he discovered that the yang orange opportunity he had obtained after he went to see Master Li Yu the day before yesterday and triggered the destiny pattern of seeking good luck and avoiding bad luck had actually been triggered.

"The opportunity has been triggered, but it didn't remind me of anything, and I didn't get any benefits..."

Lu Jing was puzzled and finally gave up.

Qing Yue cleaned up for a long time, then returned to the room, fetched hot water for Lu Jing and asked him to wash up.

When doing these things, Qingyue's eyes were as gentle as ever, but now there was a lot of relaxation.

Nowadays, Qingyue no longer has to worry about Lu Jing being scolded by the elders of the Lu family, no longer has to worry about the two of them being hungry, and no longer has to worry about Lu Jing going to the Nan family and not leaving her.

What's more important is...

"Finally I have a small family..."

"No, this is the young master's yard, but I am the young master's maid, so that can be considered my home..."

Qingyue is always smiling today. She laughed all day long, and maybe she will laugh out loud when she goes to bed at night.

It was also on this night.

Yaren, who had introduced the house to Lu Jing earlier, was accompanying the two girls to look at the courtyard in Kongshan Alley.

The two women were a master and a servant, but they only visited one courtyard. The woman who was the master was already bored and just nodded and said: "This is it."

Yaren had never expected this woman to be so decisive, but she was very happy and hurriedly drew up a contract.
