Chapter 24: Buying a House
"Then you can't live here?" Nan Daozi said as he looked at Lin Dongtian, who was pouring himself a drink on the table in the hall. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"I know, the problem is that you have no land and no money, if you don't let me live here, where will I live?" Lin Dongtian said innocently
"What does that have to do with me?" Nan Daozi said, rolling his eyes
"It really doesn't matter, but I look at the front and back courtyards of this mansion, surrounded by rockeries, the middle river pond and willows, the red lotus meets, and the most important thing is that there are many rooms, there is always one empty, right?"
"Tell me, how many classics have you stolen or how many people have you cheated and deceived?" Alas, it is difficult to prevent thieves day and night," Lin Dongtian sighed.
"Ancestors, the disciples are down on the streets today, and they have no way to continue, so they have to sell their ancestral business cheaply to make a living, and he is ...... when he is soaring."
Lin Dongtian looked sad and compassionate, but when he looked back, he found that he was the only one left in the living room.
"Damn!"
"Hey, old man Nan, don't be so stingy. Lin Dongtian shouted into the empty living room.
There is no echo. After a while, it was still quiet
"Okay, don't come out, right? I'll count one, two, three, don't blame me for being rude if I don't come out. Lin Dongtian shouted again
"One"
"Two"
"2.5"
"Three"
In the living room, there is still only Lin Dongtian himself.
"it. Lin Dongtian was completely speechless.
"Alright, come out and borrow some silver coins. I'm going to stay outside."
"Hehe, how good this is, don't say borrow, this is a meeting gift from the master to you. Hearing Lin Dongtian's words, after a while, I saw Nan Daozi coming out of the inner hall with a smile on his face, leading a small bag of heavy things in his hand.
"There's a bag of holy coins here, which can be used on the mainland. It is enough for ordinary people to buy a house, get married, have children, and live a lifetime. He said with a smile on his face.
"The master knows today that you came to the door on the first day to knock on the door, this is not temporary, and there is no etiquette, a little courtesy, just accept it." ”
"You can do it!" Lin Dongtian pointed to Nan Daozi's face and reached out to take the bag of holy coins.
"I remember, old man in the south, thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi. ”
As he walked towards the door, he pointed to Nan Daozi and said
"You cow!"
"Walk slowly in vain, don't show your wealth, be careful. ”
At the door of the hall, Nan Daozi Yingying said goodbye and said affectionately to Lin Dongtian's back. It wasn't until the latter disappeared in the doorway that he slammed into the spirit.
"Fortunately, fortunately, if the mother-in-law knows, I still have a lot of skin, I said baby apprentice, don't hate the master, if it is known, we both have to have less skin, for me, so you have less skin. With that, he quickly ran inside.
"This is the private money I have saved for decades, and it's all gone!" He lamented in the middle of the tunnel.
Lin Dongtian, who was walking on the street, suddenly felt like he was back in the fog of the meteorite storm, it was so lively outside, the surrounding crowd was shouting, and he was alone.
Fortunately, Lin Dongtian had a heavy bag of holy coins in his hand, he didn't know how many there were, but in terms of weight, it would not be very small, so Lin Dongtian's gloomy mood just now was swept away at once.
Now that I can't cultivate, then find a place to settle down, it's better to rent than to buy, and see if there are any houses for sale in this Du'an City.
Thinking of this, Lin Dongtian went to Du'an's mansion in charge of the house deed, and when he approached, Lin Dongtian found that this place was actually very lively, and there was an endless stream of people coming in and out, and it seemed that they were buying and selling houses.
"The buyer of the house shall pay one silver coin to buy the title deed form, and the seller shall pay ten silver coins to pay the title deed to verify the authenticity. There was a square table on the right side of the door, and behind the square table sat a young official, speaking to the crowd.
"I want to buy a house. Lin Dongtian walked up to the official and said.
"A silver coin, fill out the form. The official said expressionlessly.
"Give. Lin Dongtian stretched out his hand and gave a holy coin.
"No need to look for it. ”
"The form is here, please fill it out over there, it's quieter over there, you can ask me if you don't understand anything." The official said with a smile on his face.
Soon, Lin Dongtian filled in the materials, nothing more than filling in his name and date of birth, for Lin Dongtian, simple could not be simpler, after filling it out, he walked into the inner court, a slightly older person who was also a government official took his form, looked at it casually, and asked;
"Where do you want a house? Before buying a house, after the house of the Duan Dynasty is sold, it is a person, and no one is allowed to forcibly occupy and buy and sell it without permission except for my dynasty, if you commit this, you can sue the Yamen, and your own dynasty will administer justice for you, you know. ”
"Yes. ”
"Okay, so where do you want a house?
"Well, I wonder where there are bigger and quieter houses in Du'an?"
"Wait a minute. The official turned around and walked behind him to look through the materials, and he was holding a pile of paper rolls in his hand.
"Objectively, you can pick and choose slowly. If you need anything, you can call me again. ”
"No, you can introduce me to one or two. Lin Dongtian said
"Okay. He spread out a roll of paper
"This is close to the Metropolitan Academy, you can look at each other from afar, and you can get acquainted with the Metropolitan Academy at any time, and it is said that you can also go to the Metropolitan Academy to audit, with a small courtyard, a two-story building, and the price is 1,500 holy coins. What do you think of it?" said the official.
"Fifteen hundred holy coins?" Lin Dongtian said in surprise.
"Yes. The official said with a smile.
"So expensive?"
"Guest officer, this is the most potential location in Du'an, think about it, the neighbor next to you is a disciple of my Du'an Academy, and in the future, the pillar of my Du'an Dynasty may be a strong man in the mainland, here, it is not expensive. ”
"Well, you're right, I don't need these, what I want is something that is remote and quiet, or even something that hasn't been idle for a long time and can't be sold. ”
"Well, I'll get you right away. The official turned around, and soon he had a few rolls of paper in his hand.
"This is the west street of the city, an old house outside the staff, quiet and remote, priced at 300 saints. The official pointed to the scroll of paper and said.
Lin Dongtian looked at it, only to see the architectural drawing of the building painted on the paper scroll, although it was hand-drawn, but it was also clearly understood that it was a conjoined courtyard, with three buildings in front and back, and there were also next to it, respectively, the main building, the side building, the kitchen backyard and so on. The layout is clear, and the design is very simple yet functional.
"Is there anything else?" Lin Dongtian asked.
"There's also one not far from here. The official opened another one and said.
The layout is similar, the size is different, Lin Dongtian shook his head, and then the official showed Lin Dongtian a few more, but Lin Dongtian was still not satisfied.
At this moment, the official's face became dark.
"Objectively, I hope you're not here to disrupt our work. ”
"No, no, not at all. ”
"Then you don't like it, you don't want it, dare to ask where do you want to buy it, or how much price do you want to buy?"
"The price is not important, the location is important. I want to be secluded and quiet, I like to be quiet, I don't like to be disturbed. Lin Dongtian said with a smile, and at the same time handed over two holy coins in his hand.
"Oh. Objectively, you said it earlier. The official suddenly smiled.
"It's me who mispronounced it. Lin Dongtian said with a smile.
"If that's the case, I've got a good fit for you. I just don't know if you can accept objectivity?"
"Oh, let's hear it. ”
"The house here is the old house of the big man who was a smash hit twenty years ago, and then because of the mutiny, after the whole family was beheaded, the house became the back cover of the government, until ten years later, the current holy decree can deal with this house, but so far no one dares to buy it. ”
"Oh, show me. Lin Dongtian looked at the paper roll and studied it carefully
"It's located southwest of the city boulevard, close to the Imperial City. ”
"Who owns this mansion and what is it called?"
"Taixue Academy, the residence of the deceased university scholar today!"
"Okay, how much is this building?"
"100 Holy Coins. ”
"Deal!"
