Chapter 347: Quadrangle
Before leaving, Xu Xiangqing called Tang Bao and asked him to protect the safety of his parents, and also paid close attention to the punishment results of the policewoman named Wu Qian. If the director of the bureau refuses to make a move, Xu Xiangqing will have to deal with it in his own way.
Tang Bao had always been worried that Xu Xiangqing was hanging them, and now he was most happy that he was willing to arrange the task. On the one hand, he arranged things for his brothers to do, and on the other hand, he also knocked on the brothers under his hands, and he should pay attention to restraint in words and deeds and not cause trouble. Xu Xiangqing is a person who does not tolerate sand in his eyes, if he causes trouble, Xu Xiangqing will definitely be the first to refuse.
Xu Xiangqing and his entourage took a flight in the middle of the night and arrived in Beijing early the next morning. Took a taxi at the airport, and then went to Houhai under the leadership of Xiang Qing.
When standing at the gate of the courtyard, Li Sha turned her head to look at Xu Xiangqing in surprise, "Xiangqing, you won't tell us that this house is yours, let's live here in the future." ”
"It's just that I live here, it's close to Yenching University, and it's convenient for me to go to school. If you like to live in a building, I also bought two houses in the neighborhood to the east. "Xu Xiangqing likes the courtyard very much, but he doesn't force everyone to come according to their own preferences. Xu Xiangqing also did not ask Li Sha and the Zhao family father and son to live with her, she could take care of herself, and she could hire a nanny if she really needed to.
Li Sha hurriedly waved her hand, "I didn't mean that, I also like the courtyard, I just think you are too powerful, I heard that it is now forbidden to buy and sell the courtyard." "And the courtyard in front of me is so big, it is estimated that it was also the residence of high-ranking officials and nobles.
Zhao Tianming and Zhao Dahai, father and son, didn't know these things, and when they heard Li Sha say this, they also felt that Xu Xiangqing was very capable.
Xu Xiangqing just smiled and opened the door and walked in, "I bought it two years ago, and there was no such thing as not allowing trading at that time." However, some areas are broken and need to be repaired. We need to clean up today, otherwise we won't even have a place to stay. ”
After walking in, Xu Xiangqing found that the house had not been inhabited for two years, and the situation was a little worse than she imagined. The yard is overgrown with weeds and the trees also need to be pruned. There was a lot of dust in the house, and there were areas on the roof that needed to be repaired. At this level, Xu Xiangqing felt that it was difficult to clean it up in a short time with just a few of them. So Xu Xiangqing chose to find a housekeeping company very decisively.
Xu Xiangqing was not familiar enough with Beijing, and she didn't know which housekeeping company was better, not to mention that she needed to find workers such as carpenters and bricklayers. So Xu Xiangqing called Tang Lu, who was very excited when he heard that Xu Xiangqing had arrived in Beijing, and patted his chest and promised to find the best housekeeping company for Xiang Qing.
Since Xu Xiangqing contacted Tang Lu, it was not good not to inform others of his arrival. So she called Tang Jiwen and Hu Qizheng, the two teachers, and also contacted He Xiwen, who was staying in the capital during the holidays.
In the afternoon of the same day, Tang Lu called He Xiwen and Yang Mingfei, two friends, to find Xu Xiangqing, and the people from the housekeeping company were also in place.
Tang Lu looked around in the courtyard and sighed. "Xiang Qing, you can, you can buy such a large courtyard house quietly, this is three entrances, and now it is worth a lot of money. ”
"I bought it two years ago, when the courtyard house was not as popular as it is now, and the price was much cheaper than now. "There is not much stock of courtyard houses in Beijing, and the price has almost doubled compared with previous years. Therefore, Xu Xiangqing now feels that his decisive action at that time was very wise.
"A few days ago, my grandfather also mentioned this house, saying that he didn't know who the owner was, and it was a pity that this house had been idle and no one lived in it. He Xiwen also joked about Xu Xiangqing.
Xu Xiangqing was in a good mood and beckoned a few people to sit in the pavilion, because the room was too dirty to entertain guests. "I've cleaned up the area around this little pavilion in the morning, and I'll invite you to come in and sit when the house is ready." In the morning, I went to the time-honored store and bought some snacks, you can try them. ”
Yang Mingfei looked at the yard while eating snacks, feeling very emotional and puzzled. She heard Tang Lu say that the Xu family opened several fast food restaurants, which were not big companies, so where did the Xu family get the money to buy the courtyard. Even if the house was bought two years ago, it would have cost a lot of money.
Although Yang Mingfei had doubts in her heart, she didn't say anything, she and Tang Lu have been good friends for many years, since Tang Lu brought herself here today, she hopes that she and Xu Xiangqing can also become friends. Tang Lu has always been cautious in making friends, and only those who are compatible with each other can really be regarded as friends, and there must be a reason why Xu Xiangqing can make Tang Lu look the other way. The coming days are long, maybe after a long time, I will be able to discover Xu Xiangqing's extraordinary.
Because of the large number of people invited, it took less than two days to clean the inside and out. Many places in the yard are bare after weeding, and Xu Xiangqing plans to plant some cauliflower or vegetables. There is a small fish pond in the backyard that is also cleaned and refilled, and then you can plant some lotus flowers and put a few fish in it. The yellow pear or sandalwood in the house has damaged the parts of the carpenter, and the carpenter has repaired and re-maintained.
It's just that the room looks very empty, and there are a lot of things missing. Pots and pans, sheets, bedding, furniture ornaments, etc., need to be re-purchased.
Xu Xiangqing instructed Zhao Tianming, Zhao Dahai and Li Sha to look after the house at home, while she went to the mall accompanied by a few friends of the same age. Xu Xiangqing was very purposeful in buying things this time, so she made a shopping list in advance. Under the leadership of Tang Lu, a Beijing expert, he can always find a suitable shop quickly.
Xu Xiangqing has enough money because she has a purse, so she has enough confidence to buy things. Regardless of the price of the thing, buy it as soon as it catches your eye. However, she does not let the seller offer the price at will, and she will bargain if she feels that the price is not suitable.
The large things I bought, such as beds and sofas, will be delivered to the door, and then Zhao Dahai and the three of them are not idle at home. As soon as the bed was set up here, the mattress was placed, and the sofa was delivered over there. After a while, a few delivery cars were parked in front of the door, and it was useless to be in a hurry, so I could only come slowly one by one.
After buying the large items, I went to buy the small ones, although the things were small, but the amount was tiring. Fortunately, He Xiwen let her driver follow when she came, and she couldn't take too many things to put them in the car. If the car is full, let the driver send it to the courtyard first.
In less than a day, Xu Xiangqing and his party had completed everything on the long shopping list. The bills in Xu Xiangqing's hand already have a very thick stack, and a rough calculation has cost tens of thousands of yuan.
