257. Chapter 257: The Celebrity Effect
In the bronze mirror, the same movements, the same water, full of happy eyes.
After the two of them finished brushing their teeth, they opened their mouths in front of the bronze mirror and looked at their white teeth.
Ji Boming is used to this kind of life.
Being supervised by such a clean woman, he is very useful.
If he didn't take a hot shower before going to bed one day, didn't brush his teeth with Leng Xiaoxi's homemade toothpowder in the morning, and carefully cleaned his face in the mirror, he felt that there was no way to go out.
The two of them ate the breakfast made by Zhang Xiuying, went back to the room to change the clothes for going out, and the two went out.
At the gate of the Zhenjun Mansion, Yang Yong had already asked someone to prepare the carriage and wait.
Qiu Zhenning, who had also eaten breakfast, was already standing by the carriage waiting for them.
Seeing that they came out in a good mood, Qiu Zhenning called out politely.
"Brother, sister-in-law. ”
Qiu Zhenning was not surprised at all that Leng Xiaoxi was able to come out with Ji Boming.
Because, he was right, Leng Xiaoxi would not have any objections to Ji Boming buying a house for his father.
Leng Xiaoxi is a generous person, and he must obey what Ji Boming said.
"Zhenning, have you had breakfast?" Leng Xiaoxi asked.
Leng Xiaoxi has to be impressed by this very discerning and considerate her, after all, he has saved himself so desperately and desperately.
"I've eaten it. ”
Qiu Zhenning didn't say that as early as when the two of them were in the bathroom, laughing, it was he who had breakfast and came back from the small dining room.
"Lord Zhenjun, please get in the car, Mrs., please get in the car. "The boss who drove the car was a person who was not very old, and his name was Zhang Qiang.
Zhang Qiang is Yang Yong's distant cousin, this person has a square face, and his body is fat, giving people a sense of reliability and thickness.
Leng Xiaoxi was helped by Ji Boming, boarded the carriage first, then Ji Boming stepped into the car, and Qiu Zhenning also followed.
Closing the door of the carriage, Ji Boming said to Zhang Qiang.
"Let's go, go to the busiest South Street. ”
"Master Zhenjun, Madame sit down. ”
Zhang Qiang agreed, flicked the whip in the air, the carriage started, and the sound of horses' hooves stepped on the bluestone slab, making a pleasant sound.
The carriage walked for a while from the stone road of the town military mansion and turned onto the flat pipe paved with loess.
The sound of horses' hooves was quieter, but the sound of pedestrians on the street came to my ears.
Today's sun is just right, not cold, the breeze blows, and the curtains on the car are lifted from time to time.
In the carriage, Leng Xiaoxi and Ji Boming sat on one side, and Qiu Zhenning sat opposite them.
The wind lifted the curtain of Qiu Zhenning's car, and Leng Xiaoxi could see the shops on the street.
The shops have been opened, and there are not too many people at the door of each shop, and from time to time there are shouts and soliciting customers from Xiao Er outside the car.
"Everyone, uncles and aunts, masters, young ladies, please come in, our store is new to the best Juanxiu and silk brocade. ”
Leng Xiaoxi looked at this prosperous scene, the scene of the people strolling on the street, living and working in peace and contentment, and couldn't help but look at Ji Boming beside him.
The people live from this, and they can't help but say that there is Ji Boming's credit.
If it weren't for the fact that he fought in the ring and led the troops to the battle, how could there be such a peaceful and prosperous world now.
Ji Boming felt Leng Xiaoxi's eyes, with hot eyes, because Qiu Zhenning was here, he felt a little embarrassed, and he was embarrassed.
He moved, and the narrow space on the carriage, called Qiu Zhenning's legs, and Ji Boming's long legs, there was not much space left.
Qiu Zhenning moved his legs away because of this, and at the same time, he lifted the curtain sideways, simply removed his eyes, and looked out.
Leng Xiaoxi was aware that Ji Boming was shy, and in order to ease the atmosphere, she raised her eyes and looked at Qiu Zhenning, who lifted the curtains of the car and looked out, and said.
"Zhenning, you didn't tell your mother about buying a house, did you?"
Hearing this, Qiu Zhenning let go of his hand, lowered the curtains, and glanced at Leng Xiaoxi.
"Didn't say it. ”
"That's good, let's not alarm your mother first, and when you buy the house, you can pick them up. ”
"Sister-in-law, everything is up to you. Qiu Zhenning replied with a smile.
"Zhenning, about buying a house, you will tell your mother later, you bought the house. Ji Boming suddenly said in a deep voice.
When Leng Xiaoxi heard this, he was full of praise for Ji Boming for being like this.
To tell the truth, she didn't want this matter to be known by the You family, it was the house they bought, don't modern people often say it!
'Treat people like that. ’
When dealing with people like You, you should be careful not to kick her nose in the face.
The carriage quickly arrived at South Street, and several people dismounted and walked, and asked when they saw people.
"Where is there a house to sell? ”
Walking from the street of South Street to the end of the street, and looking at a few houses, Leng Xiaoxi and Ji Boming were not very satisfied.
Either the house is too small, or the house is too old, and some houses are too old to live in at all.
Qiu Zhenning followed all the way, and generally rarely expressed his opinions, and occasionally when Ji Boming and Leng Xiaoxi finished expressing their opinions, he would say a sentence.
"It's almost there. ”
The more Qiu Zhenning is like this, the more Leng Xiaoxi and Ji Boming feel that they will rush to Qiu Zhenning, it's almost okay, and you have to buy a house that is similar and can be worthy of Qiu Zhenning's life-saving grace.
South Street didn't work, they went to West Street, North Street, and finally in East Street, not far from Xi Niangzi, someone finally told them.
"There's a house with a shop for sale over there. ”
Hearing this, several people hurriedly looked for it.
It is a three-room tiled house facing the street.
Before, this house was a small restaurant that sold food and breakfast.
It's just that now the owner of the house wants to sell the house, and the owner of the shop who rented the restaurant here before was forced to close the small shop.
The shopkeeper of this shop is still thinking that if someone buys this house, he will discuss with the new owner to see if he can rent this small restaurant again.
Before entering this house, Leng Xiaoxi inquired about everything, and they knew that the owners of this house were an elderly couple.
Because the husband and wife's son was an official elsewhere, and seeing that his father and mother were old, he thought of taking his father and mother to live with them.
Therefore, this house with a large area was thought of selling.
After knowing this, the three of them decided to go to the house to have a look.
The three large tiled houses in front are seen, needless to say.
When they walked into the small door next to the shop, they were immediately liked by the regular courtyard inside.
Walking into the backyard of this house, it is all paved with tiles.
Facing it, the main house is a five-room blue brick, and these five houses are divided into a row of the same green brick wings on the left and right.
The wings are the same size as the main house, and they are also five rooms each.
The kitchen is on the left side of the wing, and not far from the kitchen door is a well with a wheel.
The courtyard of this house was very large, and there were apple and pear trees on the left and right sides of the yard.
Under the window of the wing room on the right, there is a shelf crawling with the first vines of grapes.
At this moment, in late spring, the apple blossoms and pear trees are in full bloom.
If you look at it with a discerning eye, these trees are thriving, and this year's harvest must be good.
Not far from the pear tree and the apple, there was the window of the main house, and under the intricately carved lattice, painted red, was filled with large and small pots of various flowers.
Such a house, Leng Xiaoxi and Ji Boming walked in and liked it very much.
When I asked the owner of the house, the owner of the house, the old man who was shrewd at first sight said.
"They don't ask for a high price for this house, if someone can come up with 300,000 silver taels at once, they will leave immediately. ”
Three hundred thousand taels, it has to be said that this is not a decimal amount.
"Guest officer, you really have the eye to see the old man's house, if it weren't for my son asking our husband and wife to go over, how would the two of us be willing to give up this place. ”
"Old gentleman, the so-called people go to high places and water flows to low places, you used to enjoy happiness with your son and daughter-in-law, enjoy the joy of family, we are also fated with the old gentleman, to be honest, we are also really interested in your house. ”
Leng Xiaoxi smiled sincerely at the tearful old man.
"Yes, my house has a shop facing the street, and our shop can recover one million taels of rent every year, and if it comes down in a few years, this house will not be so expensive. ”
The owner of the house is trying his best to sell his house.
"That's what I said, but in the entire capital, who can take out so much silver at once?"
Qiu Zhenning spoke at this moment, and the meaning of his words was intended to bargain.
"That's the truth, but where our house is, there are always people who know the goods. When the old man spoke, his eyes were looking at Ji Boming and Leng Xiaoxi.
Since the two of them entered the door, the old man had a premonition that the identity of the person who came in was not ordinary.
"Zhenning, if you can buy it, we can buy it, don't talk nonsense. Leng Xiaoxi didn't want Qiu Zhenning to treat the old man in front of him like this.
"Hehe, at first glance, this little lady is a sensible and talkative person. Leng Xiaoxi's words made the old couple happy.
"Do you know who they are, old gentleman?"
Qiu Zhenning was talked like this by Leng Xiaoxi, he liked this house, and he was afraid that he would not be able to negotiate a deal, so he said.
"They are ......" The old man was also very curious about the pair in front of him, looking at the two of them.
"He is my eldest brother, Ji Boming, the lord of the town army, and this is my sister-in-law Leng Xiaoxi. ”
Leng Xiaoxi couldn't stop Qiu Zhenning, he had already finished speaking.
"Ah...... You?" the old man's eyes lit up.
"You are the famous Xi Niangzi? You are the Ji Boming who has made outstanding achievements?"
"That's it, that's it, let's sell this house to someone who cares. The old man said, glancing at his wife standing beside him.
"Wife, it's really the happiest thing for us to be able to sell this house to them. ”
"Yes, yes. The old man's wife couldn't say anything happy.
Such a famous and admired pair stood in front of them, and the house was sold to them for twenty-five million silver taels.
It was five million taels of silver cheaper, and it was called Leng Xiaoxi and Ji Boming not to care, so Ji Boming did not agree to the price offered by the old couple.
