I slay demons and demons with poetry

Chapter 181 Buying a House
In the next few days, Song Mu mostly stayed in the government school, and occasionally went out for a walk, helping to ask about the surrounding shops.

It's just a circle, Song Mu is unfamiliar with the place, and the things he asked are still very limited.

Song Mu naturally supports Second Uncle's current plan. After all, their braised boiled restaurant is also very successful now. This Jizhou capital is also close to Ganshui River, and the wharf is more prosperous, so there is no need to worry about no business.

It's just that it may be a difficult decision for Song Liangda to abandon everything at home and come to Fucheng.

Song Mu didn't think too much about it, but thought that his pockets were thick now, so it would be better to add icing on the cake, and go to see a house first.

When the time comes, my uncle and aunt will have a place to live, and then I will let my second uncle find a shop slowly.

"Shopkeeper Zhang, are you sure this is my retouching fee during this period?"

In Yingxuefang, Song Mu was drinking tea in the private room, looking at the brochure handed over by shopkeeper Zhang, he was also a little shocked at the 200 taels of retouching fee.

You must know that most of the folk books are small profits but quick sales, and it is not easy to make a lot of money. When I wrote the book, on the one hand, it was to fulfill the idea of ​​enlightening the people in my heart, and on the other hand, it was just to earn some money to subsidize the daily life. s expenses.

Song Mu felt a little surprised at the initial 20 taels of silver per month. Looking at the taels on the ledger, his eyes widened.

But shopkeeper Zhang saw Song Mu's expression, and the expression on his face was a little panic, so he said with a bitter face.

"Young Master Song, this is indeed your embellishment fee. Speaking of which, it is only promoted in a few prefectures in Jiangnan West Road, so it is less."

Having said that, shopkeeper Zhang still has some thoughts to say, and seems to be ready to say something more.

Song Mu just came back, with a helpless smile on his face at the moment, and said to the other party.

"Shopkeeper Zhang, you misunderstood me. I didn't expect to have so much income."

Hearing this, shopkeeper Zhang's face paused, but the next moment his smile became brighter.

Although Song Mu is just a scholar, and writing this folk book won't get much attention, but at this moment, Song Mu is becoming more and more important in the eyes of shopkeeper Zhang.

As soon as this "Hundred Demons" came out, it immediately received rave reviews, because the story is novel and the plot is ups and downs, which makes people like it very much.

Now Yingxuefang in various parts of Jiangnan West Road is speeding up the promotion, and they also hope to earn more money from this book.

Moreover, I heard that there are still booksellers from outside the province who have gone to the provincial capital to find the owner, and the owner has sent a message in the past two days, asking shopkeeper Zhang to follow up and deal with this matter.

This made shopkeeper Zhang very useful, and felt that he was quite accomplished.

As for the author of "Hundred Demons' Miscellaneous Talks", shopkeeper Zhang resolutely kept his hands shut and didn't tell others. At the beginning, he almost told his boss, but now it seems that he has to be more careful.

After all, Song Mu in front of him is already a talented scholar who has appeared in Tianxia Wenkan five times, and his poems can be said to be spread all over the world.

Even in the past few days, many talented scholars have come here to ask if there is any collection of Song Mu's poems.

Such characters are already good talents, beautiful jades, crouching dragons and phoenixes. Ordinary people can see that Song Mu has a bright future in the future, so naturally he must treat them very cautiously at this moment.

"Speaking of which, it's winter now, and everyone has saved some silver taels, so the books are selling well, and the teahouse and restaurant are also warm, and there are huge crowds of people every day. The benefits of coming and going are very good."

Shopkeeper Zhang said to Song Mu with a smile on his face at the moment, and poured tea for Song Mu again. Seeing Song Mu's expression was calm, he grinned and said with a smile.

"Mr. Song, the three volumes you gave me have been sent out now. Look, it will be December soon, and the fourth volume..."

Song Mu put down the teacup in his hand, and immediately pulled out a few papers from his bosom with a clear understanding.

"I came here just for this matter. This time, the manuscript was delivered a little late. Shopkeeper Zhang will take care of you."

"Don't dare, it's not too late now."

When shopkeeper Zhang saw what Song Mu took out, his eyes seemed to grow to the top of the scroll. At this moment, his face was full of surprise, and he held it with both hands and opened it carefully.

After several times of checking, shopkeeper Zhang's face became more joyful, but now Song Mu's writing power is more concentrated, and the stories written are more concise and interesting.

It must be another volume of manuscript that sells well.

Shopkeeper Zhang was so pleasantly surprised that he couldn't stop nodding at the moment.

When Song Mu saw this situation, he glanced at the ledger on the table again, and his heart moved immediately.

"Master Zhang, do you know any dentist who sells houses?"

Song Mu asked, Zhang Zhang, who was carefully putting the manuscript into his arms, raised his head, nodded quickly, and said to Song Mu.

"I know, Mr. Song wants to rent a house, or..."

Song Mu naturally smiled, and then said directly.

"Buy one, the elders of the family will come to Fucheng soon, and I want to find a place for them to stay."

Shopkeeper Zhang nodded approvingly when he heard this, and praised Song Mu for his filial piety, and immediately gave Song Mu advice.

"If Mr. Song is in a hurry, I'll send my boy to find that familiar tooth dealer right now, and guarantee a fair price."

Song Mu was naturally happy to see this. He was wandering around these days, and he encountered a lot of obstacles, and he was afraid of being tricked by others, so he didn't dare to act rashly. Now that shopkeeper Zhang can help, it can be regarded as helping Song Mu solve a big problem .

Besides, there is a lot of money on the books here, and Song Mu is willing to spend money.

Not long after, the servant sent by shopkeeper Zhang brought a tall and thin man, who Zhang told shopkeeper was Wu Yajiao, a well-known toothpaste in this prefecture.

Meeting with Song Mu, knowing that he wanted to see the house, Wu Yaqi was also smiling at the moment,

"My lord, we must have some houses to see, but nowadays, there are frequent wars in southern Xinjiang, and many houses have flooded into the prefectural city. The house price may be a bit inflated."

When Song Mu heard this, his heart went up. Even in ancient times, houses were a scarce commodity, and it seemed that they were expensive.

But now, Song Mu doesn't care about the 01:30 o'clock.

"We have small houses ranging from 30-50 taels, big houses of 100-[-] taels, to small one-hundred-two tael houses, to more than [-] taels and three-entry houses, all of which are available."

After Wu Yayu finished speaking, he first took out a booklet for Song Mu to check, and Zhang Zhang, who was next to him, was also left to serve as a consultant.

The three of them summed up, and Song Mu finally pointed.

"Let's go and have a look at these two houses."

Seeing that Song Mu was so forthright, Wu Yajia immediately got up and led the way with a smile, while shopkeeper Zhang took the next step to explain to Song Mu, and when the deal was completed, he could close the account through the bookstore, which also saved Song Mu the trouble of carrying the money. .

Song Mu also bought a house for the first time in his life, and it was still in this ancient time, so he was quite interested, so he went for a walk with that Wu Yaji right now.

In the end, Song Mu chose a two-entry south-facing house in the south of the city, negotiated the price with the owner, and paid silver for the lease on the same day.

Although the house is not spacious, it is enough for a few people. What Song Mu likes most is that the owner of the house has left a lot of bookshelves.

Song Mu's long-awaited dream of tossing a study room unfolded irresistibly.
