Chapter 405: Chapter 153: Reading the Ancient Five Laws, Gaining Reincarnation Sky Power!_4
Housing rental.
Renter required: Must be a scholar, who is also preparing to take the imperial examination in the capital. They must also be of delicate health, specifically, those who are not feeble scholars will not be accepted.
Chen Chang’an said:
"Miss, I am indeed here to rent a room, but I don’t know how much it costs to rent here, and for how long I can rent it?"
Hearing Chen Chang’an’s words, Li Ling’er replied:
"It’s ten taels of loose silver for three months, until you go to the capital for the examination."
"Of course, if there is something that I need your help with during this period, you cannot refuse."
"Rest assured, I have clearly written that it’s just drying some herbs or assisting me a bit. It will not harm your delicate skin."
"So? Have you made up your mind? If you have, let’s go to the city to sign a contract."
Heading to the capital for the examination?
Upon hearing this, Chen Chang’an quickly understood.
So, this woman mistook him as a student who is preparing for the examination in the capital.
The Capital City was exactly the city he saw from his divine sense, which was ten miles away.
"No need for consideration, Miss, I am willing."
"Take this."
Chen Chang’an nodded, then took out ten taels of loose silver from his pocket and handed it to Li Ling’er.
"Hehe, that’s right."
Li Ling’er quickly took the silver, then revealed a playful smile on her face.
She looked at the silver in her hand, her eyes squinted with a smile, almost engulfed by it.
That greedy look was exactly the same as that of Mao Ruxue.
Uh~!
This was something Chen Chang’an never expected.
Having just left a money-loving girl home, he found another money-loving girl here. Life was indeed a bit sad.
"Wait here, I’ll go clean up the room for you!"
After receiving the silver, Li Ling’er immediately changed her attitude and addressed Chen Chang’an.
Afterwards, she did not leave, instead she ran back home and quickly cleaned up.
Shortly after, she came out.
Then she led Chen Chang’an to a room, and said:
"Well, this is your room, you will live here from now on."
"And, over there is my room. Remember, you cannot come into my room."
"These are the rules set out in our agreement, if you violate any of these rules, you will have to leave."
The house of Li Ling’er appeared to be from a prestigious family. It was the largest in the village with artificial mountains, a courtyard, and a loft.
It was larger than the average land-owner’s house. It seemed like the prodigy of a high-ranking official’s family.
However, why didn’t he see many people in the house? This puzzled Chen Chang’an.
At this moment, Li Ling’er took Chen Chang’an to a loft.
Outside the loft, there was an artificial mountain, and opposite the yard was a pavilion near a brook.
A pavilion and water gallery, the curling brook, being in this environment, one could not help but feel delighted and carefree.
This is a good place!
Chen Chang’an nodded, with no objection, the main reason he came to Li Ling’er’s house was to be near this pavilion.
"Since you have no objections, then it’s settled."
Seeing that Chen Chang’an had no objections, Li Ling’er nodded.
Then, as if remembering something important, she looked at Chen Chang’an and asked.
"Oh, right, what’s your name?"
"Li Taibai."
Chen Chang’an said.
But instead of his real name, he used an alias.
"Oh, Li Taibai?"
"Then I’ll call you Li Taibai."
Upon hearing Chen Chang’an’s name, Li Ling nodded her head. She introduced herself:
"My name is Li Ling’er, you can call me Ling Yao. My grandfather used to call me Ling Yao, so you can call me Ling Yao too."
"Alright, let’s stop here. The imperial examination in the capital will be held soon."
"If you want to revise, feel free to do so."
"I have to go and attend to patients."
Having said that, Li Ling’er left.
After Li Ling’er left, Chen Chang’an returned to his room.
After re-adjusting himself a bit, he came to the small pavilion by the brook, took out a book, and began to read slowly.
At dusk, Li Ling’er returned.
She also saw Chen Chang’an reading in the lakeside pavilion.
However, she did not interfere with what Chen Chang’an was doing, which allowed him a lot of leisure time.
On the fifth day, a prompt from the System sounded in Chen Chang’an’s mind.
