The more Xiaoyu walked forward, the more uneasy she became, and she looked at the lotus flower that had just passed by here, and a rose garden appeared in the pavilion over there. When I turned a few weeping willows on the side of the stone table and stone bench, I saw a few clumps of rhododendrons at the end of the corridor.

Not far away, Sun Haoran and Xu Liangqi had already begun to write poems and lyrics, and Sun Haoran also laughed heartily and said: "Brother Tang must regret it very much, the flowers here will bloom in a few days, but you can hold a poetry meeting." ”

Xu Liangqi also said happily: "I can get to know the scholars in the north and broaden my horizons." ”

The fifth brother was not immune to the infection, and said happily: "When the three whites are floating, they ...... to wine."

Alas, before he finished speaking, he heard Xiaoyu sigh and say, "Brother, you will go to work soon." ”

The fifth brother suddenly lost his breath, and he didn't even have the energy to walk. Xiaoyu saw that Yang Baochen couldn't stand them walking and stopping like this, and had already walked to the front alone. There was no one else around the brother and sister, so they asked the fifth brother in a low voice: "How much silver did the second brother give us?"

The fifth brother said happily: "There are five hundred taels, just enough for this house." Then he was stunned for a while, and secretly calculated the account: "Such a big house, the light is rough and does chores, how can you get one for a yard, and the pavilion corridors and stone boats in the back garden must be cleaned from time to time, and the front must also have a gatehouse." The second door has to arrange a mother-in-law, such a spacious house, there is no maid and maid, just now I saw that the color of the verandah on the east and west sides is already a little dark, and I have to make up for it...... "The fifth brother only thought about it for a while, and knew that this house could not be bought, and his face showed a hesitant look.

Xiaoyu asked with a small face: "I don't know how many county officials can have." ”

The fifth brother's eyes lit up, and then he smiled bitterly: "It's only forty or fifty taels of silver a year, and there are some ice charcoals, and the rations are about eighty or ninety stones a year, which is enough to eat." It's just ......" The fifth brother sighed in his heart, if it was just the Xia family, it would be enough to spend, but the Xu family and the Sun family are both rich and noble, and only a rough mother-in-law will definitely not work. But... The fifth brother couldn't help but look back at the stone boat in the distance, and then looked at the white powder wall Xuan nearby, he just thought of a more elegant name, and it will be called here in the future: "Who is with Xuan, take who and sit together." ”

Now that I can't buy it, I don't know what name the future owner will give it, so when I think about it, the fifth brother feels more and more uncomfortable, as if the girl he likes has been married, although he knows that people may not treat her badly, but he can't bear the jealousy.

Xiaoyu thought to herself: "It's almost the same to say this, it's just that the Xu family and the Sun family have to take care of themselves." But after such a month, it is still a little stretched, if everything is in order. The second brother naturally has some interest there, but he can't keep the chaos over there and can't hold it down for a while. It is unknown whether he wants to add money to it, if this is the case, the fifth brother can't spend all the five hundred taels of silver. ”

The fifth brother's economic articles are good, but Xiaoyu has studied with Xiao Xia for two years. What's more, the fifth sister-in-law's family is also outstanding among the concubines, but these daily necessities are not much for the fifth brother to worry about.

Xiaoyu leaned over and said, "Later, you will say that we only have three hundred taels." ”

After all, the fifth brother is a scholar, so he couldn't help but say: "This is not very good, our own house, we can't let others pay." ”

Xiaoyu raised his eyebrows, and the fifth brother couldn't help but be happy: "Okay, let's see what everyone says first." ”

Xiaoyu stretched out his hand: "Give me two hundred first, I'll be useful." ”

The fifth brother hesitated a little and took out four silver tickets for her, thought about it and said, "It's not a small amount, you can put it away." ”

Xiaoyu nodded, put it close to her, and then slowly walked over with her brother. I heard Xu Liangqi point to the pavilion on the side and said: "You can put some books here, you look at the two old trees in front of the building, it is better to call it Cangwu Pavilion." ”

Seeing Fifth Brother coming over, he also asked, "Fifth Brother Xia, what do you think?" ”

The fifth brother bowed: "Yes, it's good for me to look at the one in front of me who is called Hexuan." ”

Sun Haoran and Xu Liangqi stroked their chins, and after reading it twice, they felt very meaningful.

Sun Haoran pointed to the small bridge and said: "Here it is called Xiaofeihong in summer, and it is called Hongfeixue when it is full of snow in winter." Isn't that wonderful? ”

Xiao Yu saw that the little guy was not far away, so he beckoned to him, the little guy seemed to be sitting at random from afar, but in fact he was very vigilant, and when he saw Xiao Yu looking over, he had already straightened up, and then he naturally came over and asked earnestly: "Mr. Xia, what's the problem?" ”

Sun Haoran and Xu Liangqi met, and they were also busy listening to what their charter was.

Xiaoyu said: "It is said that this house is already very cheap, I shouldn't ask that." It's just that it's a haunt after all, and I'll have to spend some money trying to exorcise it. ”

The little servant nodded and said, "I can ask the friends of the master's family here." ”

Xiao Yu thought that it would be good if the Xu family's family and the second brother's brothers arrived, and I could let out some rumors. If he refuses to sell, he will say that he wants to covet his friend's house, but unfortunately there are only a few people now, and he really can't get it.

Xiaoyu then said, "This haunting is the biggest one. It's so big, it's full of trees and flowers. Suddenly a cat or a dog pops up, it's scary enough. We just paid it back, and the women lived in for fear that the house would be uneasy. ”

Xu Liangqi was busy when he heard this: "Brother Xia, what you said is not right, where there are ghosts and gods in this world, they are all people who harbor evil intentions and pretend to be ghosts." ”

Sun Haoran also said: "Zi Bu is strange and confused, besides, let's not do bad things, naturally we are not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door." We have so many families living together, and our popularity is booming, even if there are really ghosts, they have been driven away by our masculinity. ”

Xu Liangqi smiled and thought to himself: "No matter how powerful she is, she is also a girl, and when she sees these sparse oblique shadows, she starts to think crankily." But he said, "Let's come and guard tonight, I don't believe that I can't catch the man who pretends to be a ghost." ”

Xiaoyu thought to herself: "If there are no shadows of these strange trees at night, just a few yards, although it is a little harder, it may not be impossible." Now there are just a few people, and when the time comes, you don't need people to jump out, even if the wind blows twice, the light and shadow of the tree can scare you to death. ”

But it was not easy to say directly, so he had to hesitate and say: "Although this house is good, we only have these three families, this house is too big." We can't use these many houses, five hundred taels are barely bought, and we can't afford to take care of them because we don't have enough manpower. ”

Xu Liangqi waved his hand and said, "Although only the three of us live permanently, the fifth brother's family should also arrive later." Lingtang Lingyan also has to have a place to live when he comes. Brother Chen and Brother Fang also come over from time to time, and your nephews and apprentices also need a serious place to live. ”

Xiaoyu held her forehead, thinking that it was true, so she had to tell the truth: "This house is too expensive, we are a lot worse, even if we buy it, we have to pay for maintenance every day, how many maids and women do we have to clean." ”

Unexpectedly, Xu Liangqi and Sun Haoran said in unison: "This is already very cheap." You don't know, such a house in the south doesn't say 500 yuan, 500 yuan can't even buy anyone and Xuan. Such a house costs 3,000 yuan. ”

Xiaoyu secretly thought that you would give a name, and you called it so smoothly, so she had to sigh and look at the fifth brother. The fifth brother also rubbed his cheeks, and said for a while: "Why is it so cheap here? This land alone is more than five hundred taels." ”

Fuyuan hurriedly said: "The north is vast and sparsely populated, such a large piece of land, the old lady of the Liu family was only fifty taels at that time. Even if you want to buy it now, it's not more than a hundred taels. ”

"There are mountains and forests nearby, and the timber is a few years old, and it grows fine and straight, and it doesn't have to be carried around, so it's much cheaper. ”

Xiaoyu secretly thought that if this was the case, it would only take three or five months to build one by herself, and then as long as the house was not burdensome with those gardens, wouldn't it be better than buying this. Or set aside a vacant lot, wait for the money to be collected in the future, and then push the courtyard wall to cover the garden: "I don't know how much money such a house will cost if you don't count the garden." ”

The little guy thought for a while and replied, "Why do you need five hundred taels, this house is really cost-effective." Further on, there are a few Taihu stones, which are transported from the south, which could not be more elegant. Speaking of which, it's really just a haunting. ”

Xu Liangqi hurriedly said: "I don't believe in those things. ”

Sun Haoran also said: "The theory of ghosts and gods, if you believe it, you will have it, and if you don't believe it, you will not have it." ”

Xiaoyu thought for a while and said: "I'm afraid that there will be a lot of rough subordinates here, if you hire outsiders, the expenses at the beginning are less, but your heart is not steady." We're all new here, and we don't know what kind of outsiders we've brought in. If you buy someone, why do you need more than a dozen maids. The monthly money is cheap, but this large sum of money comes out of nowhere. ”

Sun Haoran hurriedly said: "The people in our courtyard naturally buy it ourselves." "He was born in everyone, and it is quite taboo to place outsiders in the house.

Xu Liangqi also said: "Fifth brother, you just have to send out a few mothers-in-law to clean the garden behind, the third lady has a personal maid there, and the rough envoys in our courtyard are naturally our own." I also brought seven or eight family members, who were supposed to escort us over to settle in, so let them take care of the front yard. ”

Xiaoyu lowered her head and sighed, displeased in her heart, secretly thinking that this back house would be messy enough, and she was afraid that she would make a fuss in the future.

looked up at the fifth brother, and saw that he was also looking at her earnestly, so he had to ask again: "I don't know, where is this ghost making trouble, if it is a courtyard, it may work to seal the courtyard first." ”

The little guy was just about to speak, but Xiaoyu waved his hand: "Little brother, first tell me where was the first haunting?

Xu Liangqi and Sun Haoran looked at each other and smiled when they heard this, secretly rejoicing. Xiaoyu had to look away, thinking that if it weren't for the urgency of time, she wouldn't be able to bury such a rotten thing.

Fuyuan touched his chin and thought for a long time: "They planned to move not long ago, and they originally started from the main courtyard. Someone saw a blue ghost fire inside, and when they arrived, there was nothing on the ground. Not long after, a man who came to see the house fell down the steps of the main entrance, and the strange thing was that the steps were only half a foot high, but the man broke his arm. ”

Now, everyone is dumbfounded, can't you seal the front door, right? Even Xiaoyu is thinking: How can this be broken?

If you like the light rain in summer, don't forget to collect. Thank you.
