61. Moving
Jiangning Mansion City.
In the past few days, under the leadership of a Ya Yu surnamed Zhou, the second master Xu has looked at several houses.
"Master Xu, look, this house sits north and faces south, the scenery is quiet, what do you think?" asked Zhou Yayu flatteringly.
Second Master Xu glanced at him and said angrily: "Don't you think this scenery is too quiet? It's more than ten miles away from the center of Fucheng, and you will arrive at Jiang N County in a few steps!"
"Master Xu, you can't say that, now the situation in the imperial court is stable, everyone lives and works in peace and contentment, and many ordinary people like to go to the big city to pan for gold, this, the house in the center of the city is naturally tense, now everyone has to buy a house, how can anyone sell the house? Besides, you require that the house must be big enough, it is really difficult to find a house in the center of the city that meets your requirements! This house, as soon as I take over, I will ask you to come and see it!" Zhou Yayu wiped the sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief.
This guest is difficult to wait for, not only to have a big house, but also to have a good environment, but also to be in the center of the city, and to be affordable, so many requirements, where can he find it.
Xu Zhongyan shook the fan and said with a look of a gentleman: "Boss Zhou, this is yours, you know, you are not the only real estate lady in the whole Jiangning Mansion, what kind of toys have you shown me these days? Is that called a house? My requirements are a bit high, but I can't afford to pay for it, master! Since you don't want to do my business, then I have to find someone else!"
Zhou Yayu hurriedly said: "Alas, don't don't, Master Xu, we have something to say, something to say, if you don't like this, it's no problem, wait for two days, I will definitely introduce you to someone that satisfies you in two days, if you are not satisfied, you will come and smash my signboard!"
Xu Zhongyan closed the fan with a "snap" and said to him loudly: "This is what you said, when the next house is dissatisfied with my intentions, I will really smash your signboard!"
"Master Xu, don't worry, I will definitely satisfy you next time!" Zhou Yayu said with a sweat.
Zhou Yayu really had good goods in his hands, and in less than three days, he took Xu Zhongyan to see another property.
Xu Zhongyan has been very satisfied since he walked into this house, the house in Sijin has four acres of land, and it is still on Wendong Lane in the south of the city, there is a small garden in the house, and the women in the family will definitely like it. The upper room is left for him and the Lu family to live, Brother Jun is older, so he lives in the east wing of the second courtyard, and the east wing of the third courtyard is left for eleven mothers to live, the west wing is temporarily empty, the other concubines and the two little ladies live in the back cover room, and the west wing of the second courtyard is left as a study.
Xu Zhongyan is very satisfied with the house, the only thing he is not satisfied with is the price.
"Master Xu, I found you this house according to your request!" Zhou Yayu said.
"I told you to find such a house, but I didn't say that you would treat me as a wronged boss!"
"No, this house is only 1,500 taels, how can it be wronged!" Zhou Yayu said aggrievedly, although he called the price too high, but it was not too high.
"It's just 1,500 taels, you really think I'm a country bun, I don't know the market! This street sold a house last month, and it was only 100 taels. "Xu Zhongyan came prepared.
"Master Xu, you also said that you are a residential, there are many residences in the city, and businessmen move to the capital every day to do business, not to mention going to Beijing, even Tokyo, Xijing, BJ Nanjing are a bunch of people flocking to it, so ah, you want to buy a residence, more are cheap and good houses, but you want more than three houses, this can afford to live in a three-entry house, who will sell the house and move away!" Zhou Yayu said: " That is, your good luck, the original owner of this house is a Simen Lang from the six products, this no, luck came, this Simen Lang was transferred to Shangjing, so the house was taken out and sold, the original owner was in a hurry, a lot of furniture was not taken away, if you bought it, you can save a lot of things! If you don't buy it, you will be snatched away by others immediately!"
In the Great Chu Dynasty, the city where the emperor was located was called Shangjing, but a military deputy capital was set up in the four directions of the southeast, northwest and northwest to defend the capital.
"1,000 taels?" Xu Zhongyan bargained.
Zhou Yayu shook his head and said, "The minimum is 1400 taels." ”
"1100 taels!" Xu Zhongyan said.
"1300 taels, my lord, I really can't reduce it anymore, if I reduce it again, I will lose money!" Zhou Yayu took another step back.
"1200 taels!" Xu Zhongyan gritted his teeth and said, if he couldn't get this price, he planned to leave.
"Alas, my life is hard, this business is just for me to make friends. Zhou Yayu said with a bitter face.
After paying the money, Xu Zhongyan urged Zhou Yayu to go to the government office immediately to transfer the household, complete all the paperwork and procedures, and leave Yu Shuqing to guard the new house, and he went back to Shangyuan County to move alone.
Open the ancestral hall, worship Mrs. Xu, and the second and fourth rooms are ready to go on the road.
Mrs. Xu was supported by her grandmother and sent them all the way to the city gate.
"Mother, go back quickly, the sun is big here, what if it's sunburning?" Xu Zhongyan persuaded his mother all the way not to send it, the sun in July was no joke, but it turned out to be farther and farther away.
Mrs. Xu stood under the city gate, looked at the children and grandchildren who were about to travel far away, and said, "Yun Niang——"
"Yes, Mother. Xu Lushi hurriedly responded.
"You are a good boy, Zhong Yan's greatest luck in this life is to have you as a good wife, when you arrive in Fucheng, there is something wrong with Zhong Yan, you have to be patient, if you can't bear it, let someone come back and tell me, I will support you!"
"Thank you, Mother. Xu Lushi replied with emotion.
"Also, when you go to Fucheng, you are the mother of the family, although you have always been a good mother-in-law, but the mother still has to tell you the last sentence, cultivate the children well, train the children to become talents, and you will have to rely on the rest of your life!"
"Yes, Mother. Xu Lushi wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.
"Brother Jun!" Mrs. Xu said as she called to her grandson.
"Grandmother, grandson here. Brother Jun stepped forward to answer.
Mrs. Xu touched his head and said, "You are your father's only son, and you are also the future pillar of the second room, Brother Jun, when you go to Fucheng, you must learn well, don't act recklessly like your father when he was young, you must be filial to your parents and love your sister, you know?"
"Grandson knows!"
"Eleven Niang—"
Eleven Niang hurriedly stepped forward, held Mrs. Xu's hand and said, "Grandmother, my grandson is here." ”
Mrs. Xu held her hand, held it very tightly, and reluctantly said to her: "Eleven Niang, I went to Fucheng, I want to listen to the words of the second uncle and the second aunt, do you know?"
"My grandson knows. ”
Speaking of this, Mrs. Xu turned her head to look at her second son and said, "Zhong Yan—"
Second Master Xu hurriedly stepped forward to support his mother and said, "Mother, what do you have to say, my son is listening here!"
Mrs. Xu held him with her other hand and said, "When you were young, you had the best relationship with Ji Yan, how many troubles you have caused, it is Ji Yan's back that I won't talk about, I know, Ji Yan is gone, and you don't feel good——"
"Mother-" Hearing this, Rao is Xu Zhongyan was also flashing with tears in the corners of his eyes: "Don't worry, I will definitely help the fourth brother take care of Eleven Niang, and I will never let her be wronged!"
"You promise?" At this moment, Mrs. Xu did not have her usual wise image at all, but asked for a guarantee like a child.
"I promise!" Xu Zhongyan said categorically.
"Okay, mother believes you!"
