25. Home Purchase
A few days later, Mama Li heard that there was a second-entry house for sale in Luer Lane, priced at 100 taels. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Why is this house so expensive, you can buy a three-entry house at this price. Mama Zhou asked on the side.
Mama Li said: "Don't you think it's not as good as the third house when you hear about the second house, this house has an advantage, that is, the place is large, I heard that there are four acres of land! If it weren't for the Wen Mansion to work with the Zhao Mansion this time, in order to raise money, I wouldn't have thought of selling this idle house." ”
"If it's four acres of land, it's not expensive. Mama Zhou said.
Eleven Niang doesn't care whether it is expensive or not, when she just heard Mama Li say, her heart was itchy, her own tavern is too small, plus the people and warehouses behind, it is only more than 300 square meters, according to the current measurement standard, about half an acre of land, in this era, it is narrow, after Li Sanbao came back, that batch of dates to be made, need a site, it is impossible to pull things back to the house to get it, and even if it is not for this batch of dates, she also needs a place to do other things, such as ink, dyeing, papermaking, silk, not to mention that she is from modern times, just on handThe money-making method introduced in "Qi Min's Technique" is enough for her to toss, so it is very necessary for her to have an independent place.
She thought about it for a while and asked Mama Zhou and Mama Li what she should do if she wanted to buy the house? Mama Zhou and Mama Li heard this, exchanged glances, and then Mama Zhou said cautiously: "If Miss wants to buy a house, she may have to discuss it with Mrs. Tai first."
"Why?" because she's a minor?
"This," Mama Zhou pondered: "In this dynasty, it is illegal to buy family property privately, once it is denounced, it will be imprisoned, and Miss must not hide the private property from her elders." ”
Eleven Niang was stunned, it turned out that this was the case, although the atmosphere in Xu's Mansion was generally good, but with Aunt Lin here, it was still too dangerous, so why don't you tell your grandmother to buy it again?
"Actually," seeing the entanglement of Eleven Niang, Mama Li said: "If Miss wants to buy property, she should not be afraid to report to Mrs. Tai, the old slave has been in the house for so many years, and I feel that although Mrs. Tai has a serious appearance, she is actually very fair, and Mrs. Tai will definitely not do the matter of embezzling her granddaughter's property." ”
"Not only Mrs. Tai, the eldest lord and the second master of the house are also very upright in terms of character, and said that the second master, in the eyes of outsiders, our second master seems to be a little unreliable, but the second master is a very affectionate person, the mother and aunt of the second room, all of them have their duty, not only are they safe, but the feelings are good, and the children of the second room are also friendly, so if the lady wants to buy real estate, it is best to pass a clear road in front of Mrs. Tai. Mama Zhou added.
Hearing that her two grandmothers said so, Eleven Niang went to report the matter to Mrs. Tai the next day and consulted her opinion, but the excuse she used to buy the house was to expand the warehouse of the tavern.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Xu was very happy when she heard Shi Niang's words, and she said to Mama Yu who was standing on the side: "Look, look, Yu Xing's family, you see that my granddaughter looks like me, she has so many thoughts at a young age!"
Eleven Niang looked at Mrs. Xu in confusion, when Mrs. Xu heard this, shouldn't her first reaction be surprise? After all, she is only 7 years old this year.
How is there more joy than surprise?
Mama Yu smiled: "Sure enough, what kind of grandmother has what kind of grandchildren, old lady, you also supported your mother's family business before you were ten years old, supported your two younger brothers, and now you are married to Xufu, and you have such a big family business——"
"But any child who has the protection of his parents, who needs to work so hard!" After speaking, Mrs. Xu beckoned Shi Niang to the front, held her hand and said: "Good boy, you are doing the right thing, grandmother knows that you are a smart child, don't say much else, you have to remember, you are different from others, grandmother is old, you can still take care of you for a few years, no matter how close your relatives are, they are not as reliable as your own hands, while your grandmother is still there, what do you want to do, just do it, there is still a grandmother in trouble!"
"Grandmother-" Hearing these words, Eleven Niang must be false if she wants to say that she is not moved, but I saw her choking and throwing herself into Mrs. Xu's arms, unable to speak for a long time.
Mrs. Xu patted her on the back and said lovingly: "Tomorrow, grandmother will ask Steward Xu to do this for you, and then the house will be recorded in your name, and when you get married, these will be recorded in your dowry!"
Eleven Niang's nasal voice came from Mrs. Xu's arms: "Then, if I make money, I will also pay a copy to the public school!"
Mrs. Xu laughed and said, "Yo, I haven't started making money yet, so I'm thinking about supporting my family." ”
Mama Yu stood aside and said happily: "It's still eleven mothers who have filial piety, and it's also your blessing for the old lady!"
Mrs. Xu helped her up and said with a smile: "Then I will wait for the filial piety of Eleven Niang!"
Steward Xu quickly completed this matter, and Eleven Niang asked Mama Zhou to give the money to Steward Xu, but she didn't expect Mrs. Xu to give the money, saying that she would pay with the tavern's income this year.
However, because Li Sanbao had not yet returned, Shi Niang did not have a suitable labor force in her hands, so she still took another twenty taels of silver to Steward Xu to help repair the house and add some necessary furniture.
After everything was done, Eleven Niang took two grandmothers to the house to see once, there are not many houses, only more than 20 rooms, of which there are only ten main houses, but the open space is large, and it will be used to build another house in the future, or do it as a drying field, so Eleven Niang is very satisfied.
After buying a house, the next step is to buy people.
With the help of Steward Xu, Eleven Niang bought the two brothers Shunzi and Xiangzi.
Junko is the older brother and is 16 years old, and Shoko is the younger brother and is 14 years old.
The mother of the two of them passed away a long time ago, and they were dependent on their father, but they didn't expect that their father was sick last year, and in order to ask for a doctor to buy medicine, it was not enough to sell the two acres of land in the family, so Shunzi had to sell himself, and the people in the village Yazi Huang Po took six taels of silver on credit, but the money was only enough to buy medicine for ten days, and in the end it still did not save their father's life. In order to make up for his father's funeral expenses, Shoko followed his brother and sold himself too.
However, although these two brothers are in the prime of life, they are still in the filial piety period, because they are afraid of bad luck, so no master has been willing to buy, Eleven Niang admires the filial piety of these two brothers, so despite the dissuasion of Steward Xu and the two grandmothers, she resolutely bought the two of them, and prepared to let them see the house in Luer Lane.
Mrs. Huang saw that the two brothers finally made a move, I don't know how happy she was, it should have been 19 taels of silver, she automatically discounted it, and 18 taels were sold, and she wanted to make a lip color.
Originally, she was willing to buy these two brothers when they were in their prime, and thought they could be sold for a good price, but they didn't expect to be smashed in their hands, and no one bought them for a few months, but someone took a fancy to them, and when they heard that these two people were still in the filial piety period, they immediately dispelled their minds, and these two people were so angry that they wanted to die, every time they told them not to tell the guests that they had just died of their father, but when the next wave of the main family came, that Shunzi still took the initiative to say, really angry people, now it's okay, finally put them out, Huang Po is too late to be happy, I am afraid that Eleven Niang and his party will regret it, and immediately asked to go to the government to register。
After the transaction, Eleven Niang also changed the name of the two brothers, it turned out that Shunzi was changed to Jishun, and Xiangzi was changed to auspicious, these two brothers are also real people, and immediately gave her a real head, almost didn't scare Eleven Niang.
Because of the filial piety of these two brothers, Eleven Niang didn't dare to bring them into Xu's Mansion, so she let them live in the house in Luer Lane, looked at the house first, and left some money for them to buy rice noodles and daily necessities, and then Eleven Niang became the shopkeeper and threw them to Mama Li to take care of.
This Mid-Autumn Festival in Shangyuan County, because of the proposal of Zhao Mansion in the west of the city, and became lively, in the end, there were nearly 20 families in the county involved in this partnership, although Mrs. Xu was opposed to her own involvement, but Xu Boyan wanted to make a lot of money, and finally, under the guidance of someone with a heart, he hid from his mother and borrowed 30,000 taels from Li Fu to invest in.
At this time, people thought that this was a profitable business, but as the old saying goes, how much benefit there is, how much risk there is, at this time in Shangyuan County, no one thought that this business finally made all the participating businesses lose their money, and also caused some families to go bankrupt, which is a later story.
