Chapter 139: Buying a House
Luo Qingyan listened to Lu Mingxuan's words and thought to herself: This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, even if you don't have a house, it will be a treasure land after just buying land, and she knows how the real estate in Kyoto will appreciate in the future. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info she doesn't care if the house is broken or not, as long as she can buy land, it's a big deal to build a house by herself, anyway, now she is not strict with her own yard to build a house, no one will care. She has a lot of materials in her space, as long as she finds someone to build a house, it doesn't matter how many houses she builds. And she will buy more courtyard houses in the future, no matter how big or small, good and broken. In the future, when housing prices in Kyoto rise, you will be able to make a fortune just by selling your house. Although she didn't expect the money, she had six children, and it would be shocking to give them a house as a gift.
Luo Qingyan made up her mind that she would go to see the house her husband said tomorrow, as long as it was suitable, she would buy it, money was not a problem. At that time, take out the materials for building and decorating the house from the space in advance, and let the husband find someone to build and decorate the house.
Lu Mingxuan didn't know what Luo Qingyan was thinking, but just comforted her not to worry. The husband and wife chatted for a while, and then they both fell asleep.
The next day, Lu Mingxuan went to work, and Luo Qingyan went out early after feeding the child, and went straight to the house that Lu Mingxuan said yesterday. In fact, the place Luo Qingyan wants to find is very easy to find, the mansions of the former Qing officials and nobles are all in the inner city, and the palace and Baylor Mansion are basically piled up in the front and back seas. Luo Qingyan didn't have much effort to find this quite large compound.
Coming to the gate of this courtyard, Luo Qingyan immediately felt the vicissitudes of history, this former Qing Baylor's mansion is indeed dilapidated from the outside, take the gate as an example, this gate has no original color, the paint of the door leaf is mottled piece by piece, and the threshold has been pitted. The stone lion in front of the door was also covered with a thick layer of dust and was dilapidated.
Luo Qingyan didn't think much about it, walked to the door and knocked on the copper ring on the door. After waiting for a while, there was a sound of footsteps inside the door, and then the door was opened a crack, and a figure leaned out from inside, an old man in his 70s, with gray hair and beard, and a wrinkled face, but he looked in good spirits.
Luo Qingyan knew at a glance that this old man should be the owner of this courtyard, and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Hello, old man, I heard that your house here is for sale, and I just want to buy a house, so I took the liberty to come and see the house, if it is suitable, I want to buy it." I don't know if you can let me see the house first. ”
The old man saw that it was a young and beautiful girl who knocked on the door, and said that he wanted to buy a house, and his eyes lit up. Although the little sister-in-law in front of me doesn't look like she can be the master to buy a house, but what if it can be done. I and my wife are old, the children are gone, and I can't count on a distant nephew. He no longer has the ability to defend this mansion, so he can only watch it fall into ruins, and it is better to find a new owner for it. And he and his wife also need money to support their old age. Selling this house kills two birds with one stone. Thinking of this, he said, "My house is for sale, you can come in and see it." With that, he opened the door and let Luo Qingyan in.
Luo Qingyan followed the old man into the courtyard, and the old man led her to watch the courtyard, by the way. This courtyard is worthy of the mansion of the former Qing Baylor, although it is dilapidated, but you can still feel its former glory. The mansion is quaint and elegant, with a shady tree. The main building is antique. It sits north facing south, with a door facing east. It is divided into Middle Road, East Road and West Road. There are four courtyards on the middle road, there are also four courtyards on the east road, there are only three rows of houses in the front and back on the west road, and the west is the theater. To the south is the garden. There are still traces of the Qing Dynasty court here, such as long corridors, pavilions, flower halls, and rockeries. Since it has not undergone major renovation and renovation, you can still feel the breath of the past while wandering through it. Most of the buildings in the courtyard have been dilapidated, the gables are crooked, cracked, the tiles and eaves are damaged, the column roots are rotten, the paint and color paintings are all peeled off, some houses have collapsed, the garden is better preserved, it can be said that the water is surrounded by mountains, the ancient trees are towering to the sky, the pavilions and pavilions are curved, the rich and natural;
The old man was also very sad when he introduced it, and it was obvious that he had a deep affection for this mansion. Luo Qingyan also learned about the general situation of this mansion after reading it, although it was very dilapidated, it still couldn't change her determination to buy this courtyard. Because she has the ability to renovate it.
She said to the old man: "Old man, I bought this house, how much do you think it costs? I can see that you have a deep affection for it, you can rest assured, I will definitely repair this place, and try to keep it as it is." If you have time, you can come back and have a look. ”
The price that the old man asked for Luo Qingyan did not bargain, in her opinion, this is the price of cabbage compared to the future, and she is also very sympathetic to the two old people, no children, no daughters and no one to take care of, I hope that this money can let them live a peaceful old age. Luo Qingyan brought all the formalities, and went through the transfer procedures with the old man on the same day. The old man and Luo Qingyan made an appointment to hand over the house after 10 days, and Luo Qingyan readily agreed.
After buying the house, Luo Qingyan went home, she didn't tell Lu Mingxuan about buying a house, because she still had a lot of preparations to do, involving space, all of which had to be hidden from Lu Mingxuan.
Luo Qingyan was not idle for ten days, and took advantage of this time to check a lot of information in the space, and carried out the overall planning and design of the entire mansion to ensure that the living environment is more comfortable, more functional, more private, and safer. Budget according to the design drawing, and list the required building materials. The building materials are of high standard, and she found a lot of building materials in the space base, which is estimated to have been used to build the base before, and now it happens to be cheaper for her. As for the wood, Luo Qingyan found some suitable ones in the space and cut them directly to take them out of the space. Ten days of making all preparations have passed, and on the day of receiving the house, Luo Qingyan came to collect the house according to the agreement, and the two old men had already found a good house and moved out, and left after handing over the key to Luo Qingyan.
Luo Qingyan didn't rush home after getting the key, she wanted to see which houses were better, at least to store the building materials for repairing the house. The yard where the owner used to live was not moved first, and because the yard had been inhabited by people, it was better protected, and the workers had to eat and drink when repairing the house in the future, which could be used as a place for the masters to rest temporarily.
Luo Qingyan thought that this was once the mansion of the royal family, and maybe there would be treasures hidden in this mansion, so he released Xiaobai, who was free in the space, and asked him to look for it. Sure enough, living up to Luo Qingyan's expectations, Xiaobai found several treasure hiding locations, and Luo Qingyan gained a lot of money. This is also the reason why the old man who sold the house asked for a relatively high house price, and Luo Qingyan did not make a counteroffer. She guessed that the mansion would hold treasure.
Luo Qingyan thought that this mansion would not take a short time to be repaired, so if it was really not possible, he would first repair a few courtyards next to each other, and he could live in it first. While thinking about it, I took the prepared building materials out of the space and put them in a room that didn't leak rain. Look at it and go home when it's ready.
