The stunning beauty of Qing Dynasty

Chapter 305 Renting a Yard

"Then will Ayin go home and wait for admission?" Chen Wang asked, staring at Qingyin with a sparkling look.

The young master's thoughts were so simple that it was obvious that Qingyin had a hard time pretending not to understand.

"I will probably stay in Huailin, wait for the admission results to come out, and make some money along the way."

"Ah, Ayin, you have to stay here." Chen Wang's puppy eyes drooped. He still wanted to bring Ayin home to meet his parents. If Ayin stayed here, wouldn't he have to separate from Ayin?

Chen Wang was feeling a little depressed.

He didn't notice Qingyin giving him a funny look.

Looking at Chen Wang who had his head lowered because of her words, Qingyin's eyes flashed with a smile. Why was he like a little puppy, abandoned by his owner, staying silent and sad in the corner.

"Brother Chen, do you want to go home?" Qingyin asked Chen Wang with a smile.

Chen Wang's eyes lit up again. Yes, he could also stay in Huailin. He didn't have to go back. He could just wait for the result of the Autumn Examination here as soon as possible.

Chen Wang was thinking happily, and he was so lost in thought that he was stunned for a while.

Qing Yin was puzzled: "Huh?"

Chen Wang said quickly: "No, I don't want to go back. I want to see the result in Huailin as soon as possible."

Chen Wang, who almost said "I want to accompany you", blushed and shyly glanced at Qingyin's face.

Seeing Qingyin looking normal, Chen Wang felt both relieved and disappointed.

Regarding this complicated feeling, Chen Wang attributed it to his super-strong friendship with A-Yin.

Looking at the young man whose expression changed from happy to sad, Qingyin was really curious about what Chen Wang was thinking.

But since Chen Wang has chosen to stay, some things need to be made clear.

"Brother Chen."

"Hey, hey!" The silly young master reacted and looked at Qingyin in confusion.

"Brother Chen has been paying for our stay in the inn before, and I am very grateful. As for staying in Huailin, I can't take advantage of the remaining money from you. Besides, it's still a long time before the results are announced, so I plan to rent a cheaper courtyard. Brother Chen, why don't we say goodbye here in this inn?"

"Ah?" Chen Wang's eyes widened. This amount of money was not expensive at all. The money he spent on the inn these days was not as much as his monthly pocket money. Ah Yin was spending his money, and he was already happy. How could he feel that he was taking advantage of him? What's more, he stayed here because he wanted to be with Ah Yin. If they were separated, he might as well go home.

Chen Wang wanted to explain, but when he saw the seriousness in Qingyin's eyes, he paused.

These days, he has seen that Ayin is a man with a bad background and is not rich. Ayin does not feel inferior because of this, but he will never accept money given by others out of sympathy.

The young master paused, his mind working rapidly, and said, "Well, I also think the inn is too expensive. If we stay in Huailin, why don't you and I rent a room together? This will save us some money."

Young Master Chen, who had exhausted his brain to come up with a solution, stared at Qingyin with sparkling eyes.

Looking forward to Qingyin giving him an answer.

Qingyin: "If Brother Chen doesn't mind..."

"I don't mind, of course I don't mind!" Chen Wang responded impatiently. Unexpectedly, the situation took a turn for the better and he still achieved his goal.

Thinking that the young master would be with Ayin for the next few months, he felt quite proud.

Hahaha, he really is worthy of being called the extremely smart young master of the Chen family.

Looking at Chen Wang, whose eyebrows were twitching with joy, Qingyin concealed the smile in her eyes.

"Then let's pack our bags first, and when we're done, gather at the door to see the yard."

"Okay." Chen Wang has always been the little fool who agrees to Qingyin's arrangements obediently.

……

It was not difficult to find a courtyard in Huailin, especially under the temptation of money from Young Master Chen Wang, the inn's waiter, a local, found a courtyard they liked.

The yard was neither big nor small, but it had everything it needed. There were two bedrooms, a kitchen, a well for drawing water, and a tall walnut tree next to it, with some wild walnuts still on it.

Chen Wang was very satisfied with this courtyard which was several times smaller than his own house. The bedroom was close by, which was good. The well and the tree were also good. There were fruits on them. He could pick some with Ayin to taste later.

The woman who introduced the courtyard noticed that the sturdier young man who was looking at the house had his eyes on the walnut tree. She thought that Chen Wang was interested in the walnut tree, so she introduced it more enthusiastically:

"My two lords, the walnut tree in this yard is a seedling that my son picked up in the mountains when he was a child. Now it has grown up and bears fruit every year. Apart from other things, the taste of these walnuts is really better than other walnuts. My children love to eat them every year. However, the walnuts are small and my husband is too lazy to pick them. Otherwise, we will have to take them even if we move away."

The woman in the thick coat recommended with a smile on her face. She glanced at Chen Wang for a few seconds, then turned her gaze to the thinner boy in front of her.

Tsk tsk, Lin Aihua has seen many young men, but the young man in front of her, named Xie, is really extraordinary. Although the clothes and fabrics on this young man are not as good as the young man behind him, but in this selection of courtyards, she can see that this handsome young man is the one who makes the decision. Moreover, this young man's temperament and eyes can be described in one word - perfect. Lin Aihua guarantees that this young man will definitely be extraordinary in the future.

Well, it’s rare to see such a handsome young man, so Lin Aihua softened her heart and lowered the rent.

In fact, her yard has a good location and can be sold at twice the market price.

"Hey, if you two are sincere about renting, please give me 500 coins per month."

Qingyin saw the softness in the woman's eyes and knew that the woman had lowered the price for him.

He smiled gently, "Madam Lin's yard is very good, we are very satisfied with it, but the price cannot be too bad for you. Please accept this thousand coins. How can a scholar take advantage of you?"

"Well... okay." Lin Aihua felt relieved. This Mr. Xie was such a rare good man. She really hoped that this young master could achieve his wish and pass the imperial examination. If the official above was like Mr. Xie, their lives would be better.

Chen Wang did not interrupt the entire conversation between Qingyin and Mrs. Lin.

But the heat in his eyes was always staring at Qingyin as she moved around.

A gentleman is like jade. Ayin is truly a rare gentleman in the world.

Chen Wang thought about it, and suddenly felt a little ashamed when he saw Qingyin's gentle attitude towards the peasant woman.

In the past, relying on his status as the young master of the Chen family, although he did not bully students from poor families like those rich young men, he was still arrogant and looked down on these people. But in the case of Ayin.

However, Chen Wang could see that Ayin was a person who sincerely treated everyone as an equal in communication.

Probably, no one would dislike a person like him.
