But when Mr. Zhao walked out of the door, he saw the two strangers standing in front of the old laurel tree, pointing and pointing from time to time and not knowing what to say.

"Two, I'm the master here, I don't know what happened to the two of you?" Mr. Zhao stepped forward and asked suspiciously.

"You are the owner of this house, I wonder how much you bid for this house, our boss has taken a fancy to your courtyard," one of them asked straight to the point after seeing Mr. Zhao.

"I'm really sorry, I've already found a buyer for the house, and the two of you are late," Mr. Zhao said apologetically when he heard that the other party was here to buy the house.

"What! has it been sold, and how much has it been sold?" asked the other man, with an ugly look on his face.

"Well, it's almost time to sign the contract, please forgive me for keeping the price confidential," Mr. Zhao said after thinking about it.

"Haven't signed a contract yet?" The man's face softened slightly when he heard this, and the fact that he didn't sign the contract meant that he still had room to fight.

"Well, but we've reached an agreement and paid it off," Mr. Zhao said.

"Needless to say, how about I double the price they gave you?" said one of the slightly fat men with a wave of his hand.

Mr. Zhao frowned, looked at the other party's dress, suit, leather shoes, and a golden watch on his wrist, a successful person's style, but the big gold chain around his neck destroyed the overall image, and a nouveau riche temperament came to his face, he never wanted his ancestral house to fall into the hands of these people, he shook his head and said: "I'm sorry, it's not a matter of money, the house has been negotiated with people, and I can't be the kind of person who doesn't talk about integrity." ”

The man's originally confident face instantly fell, looked at Mr. Zhao and said: "I have always been able to sell things without escaping the law of a person with a high price, our family's bid is really sincere, definitely more than the other party, Mr. Zhao, how about you think about it again?"

"Don't say any more, I've already decided, so I can only say I'm sorry", Mr. Zhao finished speaking, turned around and walked towards the study.

"One million! we will give one million!" the man hurriedly said when he saw Mr. Zhao leaving.

Mr. Zhao paused when he heard this, and a trace of shock flashed in his heart, one million, he never thought that the other party would quote such an attractive price, after thinking about it, he turned around, and the other party saw Mr. Zhao turn around two days, his face showed a smile of victory, and he waited for Mr. Zhao's consent for a long time.

"Can I ask you what you like about my house, and I ask myself that although this house is good, it is not as high as the price," Mr. Zhao asked with a frown.

"Quite simply, I fell in love with this tree, and I was buying it not so much as buying a house," said the chubby man.

"Oh, a tree is worth a million?", Mr. Zhao asked curiously.

"For most people may not be worth it, but for me, this tree is very important, to be honest, when I was young, I suffered a catastrophe, and afterwards a fortune teller told me that I hit the five elements of the lack of wood, so in the future, if you want to turn evil into good fortune, peace and security, you must live in a place where there is a hundred-year-old tree, and this tree must also grow from small to large has not been transplanted, I recently inquired about a lot of places, and found that you are the one who meets the requirements near Xincheng. ”

"Fortune teller, just for the sake of a fortune teller, you put so much effort into it, it's really hard," Mr. Zhao's tone was a kind of contempt, and in the eyes of a scholar like him, he looked down on gods and ghosts the most.

"Some things should be believed rather than not," the man said with Mr. Zhao's disdain.

"Okay, thank you for telling me, please take care of yourself, I won't send it far", Mr. Zhao suddenly said.

The two men were stunned for a moment, and anyone could hear that this was an eviction order, and the two wondered if they had heard it wrong, and they thought that the price would be rejected, could it be that their price was low? The chubby man hurriedly said: "What does Mr. Zhao mean by this, if you are not satisfied with the price, you can negotiate again."

After hearing this, Mr. Zhao raised his head and looked directly at the other party and said: " Don't get me wrong, the price of the two Zhao is not dissatisfied, on the contrary, it has exceeded my imagination, but this house has been with our Zhao family for several generations, which contains my infinite memories and nostalgia, it can be said that my feelings for this house are no less than relatives, but now there is a last resort to sell, but even so, the amount of money is not the only criterion for me to decide the buyer, just like marrying a daughter, not the dowry is more, I not only sell, but also to find a like-minded buyer for the house, in my opinion, each house has its own unique personality and temperament, I hope I will come back after many years, I can still feel the original feeling and culture of the house, and my house is obviously not related to the two. ”

The two men didn't expect Mr. Zhao to give such an answer, and one of them couldn't help but say: "Joke, the house still has a life hole, what kind of fallacy is this, if you really don't want to sell it, you won't sell it, why bother to laugh."

And the slightly chubby man frowned and continued: "If I don't change the appearance and decoration of the house after I buy it, is it good?"

Mr. Zhao shook his head: "The form is there, but the god is not there, it is useless." After speaking, he stepped into the study.

The two men who left the door looked at each other, the slightly chubby man sighed, looked at the laurel tree nostalgically, said "let's go", and walked out of the courtyard with his companions, and saw the cruiser parked at the door, the chubby man paused slightly, and said to his companions: "This car is not cheap."

"It's okay, there aren't many people in Xincheng who drive this kind of car, this is a Land Cruiser, and a set of procedures will land about a million, what's wrong boss?

"Well, that's pretty good, but I don't think the owner of this house is like the person driving this car, so who could it be?" the man said after a moment's thought.

"Is it a buyer?" said the driver.

"Ten **, let's not go first, wait in the car and see if the buyer will come out", the man thought for a while and said, the two walked to a crown on the opposite side of the door and sat in, quietly watching the movement of the courtyard gate.

"Brother Zheng, I'm sorry to keep you waiting for a long time, two irrelevant people have disturbed your and my discussion, I'm really sorry, come, let's continue", Mr. Zhao said to Zheng Xueping with a smile as soon as he entered the door.

Zheng Xueping looked at Mr. Zhao, and said with a touch of emotion on his face: "Brother Zhao, don't say it, I heard it, how can you make me embarrassed."

Mr. Zhao was stunned, and then knew that the conversation between himself and the two outside must have been overheard by Zheng Xueping, he waved his hand and said: "What's this, not to mention what we talked about before, naturally we can't go back, Brother Zheng, you don't have to think about it." ”

"Mr. Zhao, after thinking about it, let's give you a price increase, we will also pay a million, we can't take advantage of you in vain," Zhengji glanced at Mr. Zhao and said, he also listened to Mr. Zhao's conversation just now, and he also admired this Mr. Zhao's character in his heart. In the face of the temptation of one million, it can be said that he can keep his promise and remain unmoved.

But he didn't expect Mr. Zhao's face to change, and he looked directly at this Zhengji and said: "Who do you think of me? If I was a rare one million, I signed a contract with them just now, why bother to do this? You really regard me as a mercenary villain?"

Zheng Xueping hurriedly said on the side: "My son is not sensible, Brother Zhao, don't worry about it, I will ask him to apologize to you." ”

Zhengji also got off the donkey down the slope and apologized to Mr. Zhao: "Mr. Zhao, it's my fault, I have the belly of a villain and a gentleman, I hope you can forgive me."

Mr. Zhao saw that Zhengji's attitude was sincere, so he forgave Zhengji, and said with a smile: "Don't take it as an example, I, Zhao, am not a narrow-minded person, Brother Zheng, let's go and sign the contract now, and rest assured that it will be solved as soon as possible." ”

Zheng Xueping nodded, the three of them took out the relevant procedures, and Zhengji handed a bank card to Mr. Zhao and said, "Mr. Zhao, there are 400,000 here, you take it, the password is six eight."

Zhao Zhenyu and Zheng Xueping pressed their handprints, signed the contract, and after the processing, Zheng Xueping held Mr. Zhao's hand and said: "Brother Zhao, you and I really hate to see each other late, your character is really not to say, it can be described as a promise, your friend and I have made a decision with political science, I don't know what you think, Brother Zhao?"

"Then I really can't ask for it, Brother Zheng, I didn't expect that when I was about to leave Xincheng, I would be able to meet a confidant like Mr. Zheng, I am really fortunate that we will drink and eat together in the small courtyard tonight, okay if you don't get drunk or return?" Zhao Zhenyu also happily proposed.

"Brother Zhao invited, how dare you disobey, it will be disturbed at night", Zheng Xueping said with great interest.

While everyone was talking and laughing, a crisp voice came in, "Dad, Mom, I'm back", accompanied by a trot, a girl about fifteen or sixteen years old appeared at the end of the voice, her youthful face bloomed with a bright smile, her black hair was tied into a bunch and scattered behind her back, and her cheeks were still a little red after exercise, until she ran into the room and found that there were guests in the house, and she retracted her steps a little shyly, secretly looked at everyone, and slowly walked to Zhao Zhenyu's side.

"This is my daughter, Xiurong, come, Xiurong, I've seen your uncle", Zhao Zhenyu patted his daughter's shoulder and introduced with a smile.

"Uncle Zheng is good", Xiurong glanced at Zheng Xueping and said with a smile, there was actually a pair of small dimples on his face, which looked particularly cute, and after saying hello, Zhao Xiurong shifted his gaze to Zheng Xueping's body behind Zheng Xueping.
