Chapter 20: The Strange House
This is a medium-sized mansion with three entrances and three exits, which is a few more rooms than the one Qin Lu had in Jianye City, but because of the layout and courtyard, the area is at least twice as large. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
I didn't see the owner of the house, Qin Lu couldn't walk around the house at will, but just from the part of the scene I saw so far, Qin Lu's first impression of He Mansion was quite satisfied.
Qin Lu likes green plants, and He Fu happens to satisfy his preferences in this regard.
From the gate, the road is lined with potted plants of all kinds, lush and delightful. Further inside is the front yard, where an old locust tree grows, and there is a small pavilion next to it, surrounded by vines, and the dappled sunlight is accompanied by the sound of unknown birds, which looks very elegant and interesting.
Retracting his gaze from the courtyard, Qin Lu set his gaze in front of him.
The place where the two of them stand, is a huge stone screen, painting a few old men fishing in mountain streams, it can be seen that the painter's skills are very superb, although limited by the limitation of the painting size, the figure is relatively small, but the characters are depicted very exquisitely, not only the demeanor is different, close to see, you can even see the fish in the water and the wine glass in the hand of the old man.
"Does Xiao Langjun also have research on painting?"
Suddenly, I heard a hearty laugh, and a middle-aged man with an elegant face walked over from the courtyard, "This is Master Lin Huaiqinglin's mountain stream fishing map, I invited it from a friend, although it is only a copy of it, but it can be regarded as a rare boutique!" ”
Qin Lu had seen He Shuhai once in the tooth shop before, and knew that he was the owner of this house, so he waved his hand and said with a smile: "Where do I understand this, just take a casual look!" ”
"Hehe, why should Xiao Langjun be humble, he has researched a new wine-making recipe at a young age, how can such a person not understand the way of Hanmo?" He Shuhai turned sideways slightly, leading the two of them to the courtyard, "Speaking of which, the burning knife is really strong, I bought a jar yesterday, drank two bowls and laid me down, and I still have a headache!" ”
Qin Lu didn't bother to explain too much, she just chuckled when she heard the words, and looked at the scene in the courtyard silently.
The layout of the house is similar to that of ordinary people, the front yard is the door when you enter the door, the hall is facing the screen, there are more than 100 square meters, and there are all kinds of mahogany furniture, which looks a little rich.
Further inside, there was the inner courtyard, because there was a family member, Qin Lu did not go in. After taking a rough turn outside, He Shuhai took them directly to the backyard.
Entering the backyard, Qin Lu really realized how big this mansion was. In addition to the houses for human habitation, there is also a bluestone paved pool in the back garden.
The pool is surrounded by rockeries and brightly coloured koi fish play in the cobbled pool. It's like building a small aquarium in the house, and it's full of life.
"It seems that Xiao Langjun is also an elegant person......"
He Shuhai beckoned, and immediately someone stepped forward and delivered a package of things wrapped in white paper. Qin Lu watched him open the paper bag, which turned out to be some bait for feeding the fish.
"I don't want to say anything else about this house, it's definitely a first-class comfort to live in! If I didn't have something important to do and had to leave Chang'an, I was really reluctant to sell this house! ”
Sprinkled some bait in the pool, He Shuhai looked at the koi fish gathered together, and said with some pain: "How about it, if you are still satisfied, I can send the deed tomorrow, and within two days, Xiao Langjun can move into the house." ”
Qin Lu was naturally very satisfied. He Shuhai's house, whether it is the location or the layout of the courtyard, is very in line with Qin Lu's preferences. Especially the flowers and plants in the courtyard, if the planning is better, the little flower sisters will move in the future, and they can make perfume materials without leaving home, which is very convenient.
"Yes, I like it." Qin Lu nodded very dryly, "Brother He, let's make a price, if it's appropriate, I'll ask for it directly!" ”
He Shuhai's eyes lit up, stretched out a finger, and said slowly: "No two prices, one thousand taels!" ”
"One thousand taels?!"
So expensive?!
Qin Lu was taken aback, when they met in the tooth shop, He Shuhai did not tell him the asking price of the house, Qin Lu thought that it would be a few hundred taels of silver at most, but he didn't expect the real price to be so expensive.
An ordinary person's annual expenses are only a few taels of silver, a full thousand taels, which is enough for an ordinary person's expenses for a lifetime!
"Xiao Langjun, don't be surprised, this price is already very cheap, if it weren't for those things, I would never have been able to sell a thousand taels!"
As if worried that Qin Lu wouldn't believe it, He Shuhai pointed to the pool in front of him and said, "When this pool was built, it cost me more than two hundred taels of silver, and the whole house, even if it is less than three thousand, is about the same." A thousand taels can buy a big house with three in and three out, and I dare to say that in the whole of Chang'an, it is impossible to find a second one as cheap as me! ”
Three thousand pieces of silver, converted into RMB, is more than six million, considering that this is Chang'an City, Qin Lu can't help but believe him a little in his heart. It's just that the information inadvertently revealed in He Shuhai's words still aroused his doubts.
Obviously spent such a large amount of money, why are you willing to sell now as long as 1,000 taels? Even if it's sold in a hurry, it shouldn't be at such a price......
"Brother He, what do you mean by 'those things'?" Qin Lu asked, "Could it be that if you sell this mansion, what else is there to hide?" ”
"This ......"
He Shuhai couldn't help but be stunned, his mouth opened slightly, but he didn't say anything, obviously a little hesitant, not knowing whether to ask Qin Lu for help.
"That's it! Anyway, you'll meet it in the future, so I'll tell you about it! ”
After a moment of silence, He Shuhai still couldn't hold back, and sighed: "It's not a secret, the reason why I am willing to sell as long as the low price of one thousand taels is that in addition to going to other places for some reasons, there is one thing in this house, which is the biggest reason!" ”
"What's that?"
Qin Lu immediately became interested, the location and environment of He Mansion were all the best choices, but he didn't see anything wrong here, so he could make him rather sell at a low price than sell as soon as possible.
He Shuhai glanced around, and said shyly: "I'll tell you the truth, there are some unclean things in this house!" ”
Something unclean?
Depend on! It's not always haunted, is it?
Qin Lu's eyelids couldn't help jumping. The courtyard of Hefu is deep, elegant and quiet, and it is indeed easy for people to think in that direction. Qin Lu noticed this when she came, and she didn't want to let herself be fed.
