Wang Deshui took Ding Dashan and they all went to the house to take a look, the east and west wings are where the servants live, there are beds in each room, it is the kind of ordinary wooden bed, there are two big rooms with several beds in each, and there are several small rooms with a big wooden bed, and there are simple furniture in it It is probably not lived in for a long time, so the house is full of cobwebs and dust everywhere. In the northwest corner of the yard is the toilet, and in the northeast corner there is a kitchen, and the toilet and kitchen are also covered with cobwebs, so they didn't look closely.
Then he took Ding Dashan and them to a row of houses in the south, which used carved wooden doors, which were much better than the east and west wings. There was a study in the southeast, and the shelves in the study were empty, presumably because the house was going to be sold, so all the valuable things that could be removed had been moved. In addition to the bookshelf in the study, there is a desk, a chair, there is a door on the west wall of the study, and there is a bedroom in the room, there is only a wardrobe in the room, a carved bed, presumably for a temporary rest when you are tired.
In the middle is a large living room, there are four chairs on each side of the living room, and there is a small table in the middle of each two chairs, the tables and chairs are all mahogany, and they are carved with peony flowers and Liu Yunwen. There was a table of eight immortals next to the south wall, and two chairs were placed next to the table, and there was nothing on the wall behind the table where the paintings should have been hung, probably the paintings were also taken away. The floor was covered with large square slabs of stone, and there was nothing else, and it seemed that everything but furniture had been emptied.
To the west of the living room is still a study and an adjoining bedroom, which are largely identical. Ding Yiyi thought about it after reading it, it was not bad, in the future, her younger brother and the children of his grandmother's family could be one person, she intended to let that child go to school with Xiao Chen, so she should be a little companion!
Wang Deshui led a few people to the back yard, and when they arrived at the back yard, they saw that the corridor had not yet ended, as if there was another courtyard behind. Wang Deshui looked at Ding Yiyi and looked at the corridor and said with a smile: "This house is three in and three out, and there is a courtyard at the back, you see that there is an arch on the west wall, in fact, there is a courtyard on the west side, which has a stable and a room for piling up sundries." Let's take a look at the rooms in the second courtyard first!"
There is a large garden in the courtyard, there is a pavilion in the garden, you can enjoy the flowers and scenery in it, and there are stone tables and stone benches in the pavilion for people to rest.
It turned out to be the courtyard of Sanjin, and Ding Yiyi noticed that there was also an arch on the east wall, and he didn't know what it was doing there.
Several people followed Wang Deshui to look at the room, and the middle was still the living room, and the living room was the same as the living room in the courtyard. However, there is no study in the second courtyard, but there are two bedrooms on each side of the living room.
There is a small bed, a table, two chairs, a large window on the wall next to the table and chairs, and a screen is placed in the middle of the room.
After leaving this bedroom, I went to the bedroom on the far left, and the furnishings in it were basically the same, but the screen was embroidered with the four gentlemen of Meilan, bamboo and chrysanthemum, which made the whole room more elegant.
The bedroom on the right side of the living room is similar to the left side, but there is an extra bookshelf in each room, maybe there are people who love books in the original owner's house, and they will also read books before going to bed, so it is more convenient to put a bookshelf.
They followed Wang Deshui to the rearmost courtyard, and there was an entrance on the east and west sides of the courtyard, and when they walked over, they found that they had been separated by a wall into two small courtyards, each courtyard had three bedrooms, a small living room, and a small flower garden in the courtyard, which might have been the courtyard where the ladies lived.
At this time, rich people like three wives and four concubines, and some wives and concubines in the family have groups and go to the flower building to drink flower wine.
There are enough rooms in the house, even if there are guests coming, it is enough to live, not to mention that there are a few rooms on both sides of the east and west sides of the second courtyard, even if relatives are coming, it is enough to live. Ding Yiyi looked at such a large house, and it was indeed not expensive to ask for 5,000 taels, after all, it would cost 30 or 40 taels of silver to build a brick house in the countryside!
Wang Deshui looked at Ding Yiyi and seemed to be very satisfied, so he hit the railroad while it was hot: "Madame, Miss is still satisfied? If it weren't for the master's decision not to come back, this house would be more than this price, and five thousand taels really didn't cost much." ”
"I think there is nothing but furniture in this house, and it's so dirty, we have to clean it before we move to live in it, and some things need to be added by ourselves, the price you want is a bit high, right?" Ding Yiyi decided how much to draw down, whose silver is not blown by the wind, so save it if you can!
"Buy this at whatever price you want! Wang Deshui knew that the price could not be reduced too much, because the owner of the house said that it would not be sold if it was less than 4,800 taels, so his bottom line was to reduce it by 200 taels, and if he did more, he would not make money.
"Four thousand five hundred taels, if you sell it, we will buy it, if not, I think there must be houses sold elsewhere, we can take a look and talk about it!" Ding Yiyi reduced five hundred taels at once, Wang Deshui didn't agree to drop so much, not to mention that he couldn't make money, and he had to pay two hundred taels of silver after selling the house, is this possible?
"No, the minimum is four thousand nine hundred taels. Wang Deshui said. "Four thousand six hundred taels, how about I'll raise the price, how about you go down a little?" Ding Yiyi continued to draw down.
"Miss, the price you said is too low, I can't sell it to you, let's go back! This house will be sold in the future, it's not my own house, I can't be the master, the master has already said that it can't be lowered too much, let's stop there!" Wang Deshui glanced at Ding Yiyi, thinking that you are preparing to let me lose money, no, you don't want it, just let me have nothing to do with you.
"Then you say that the minimum amount of silver can be sold to us, and it doesn't mean anything to keep scribbling around. Ding Yiyi likes this house very much, she really wants to buy a house, but she can't have an expression that I want this house, although she wants to buy it, but she can't expose her mind.
"At least four thousand eight hundred and fifty taels, you can buy it if you want to, if you don't buy it, forget it, I won't sell it to you at a loss." Wang Deshui thought for a while and said, he can still earn 150 taels of silver for 4,850 taels of silver, and then he said that he would sell 4,800 taels of silver, anyway, the owner of the house promised to give him 100 taels of silver.
"Four thousand eight hundred taels, the achievement of paying the money with one hand and the deed with the other, if it doesn't work, it will be counted. Ding Yiyi saw that Wang Deshui's eyes were spinning and knew that he could have less, and finally sold it for 4,800 taels, the deed was given to Ding Dashan, and the Ding family paid the silver ticket to Wang Deshui. Wang Deshui put away the silver ticket and left, leaving only the four members of the Ding family in the house, even the iron lock and key on the door were left.
