Because he wanted to see a foreign man, in addition to sleeping at night in the past two days, the Zhang family used light gauze hats during the day, and going to Gu's house at this time was no exception. www.biquge.info Xu Qiuyi and Xu Xiang were still young in their later years, so they didn't need to cover their faces, so it was very convenient to move, and they didn't need the help of others at all, so they jumped off the carriage with a light jump.

Seeing that the guests had all come down from the carriage, the little servant of the Gu family saluted everyone and bowed down to invite everyone into the courtyard.

Although Xu Xiangwan and the others came to see the house, they had not seen the owner of the house at this time, so they were not good at looking around, so they followed the little maid all the way to the main house.

Before stepping into the living room, a pair of old men and women who were about the age of sixties came out, and when they saw them, they were all smiling and red.

Shen Ye introduced everyone first, and everyone greeted each other, and then the guests and hosts sat down one by one.

The old man and the old lady are naturally the old man and the old lady of the Gu family, both of them are enthusiastic and straightforward, without too many polite words and opening remarks, knowing the intention of Xu Xiangwan's family, he just briefly introduced the basic situation and price of the house, and then led everyone to carefully inspect the yard in front of and behind the house.

This house was built by Old Man Gu, and the bricks and wooden windows and doors were all picked by himself, so he was very confident in his own house, including the clean room and kitchen, and took them to look at it carefully, and every time he walked around, he would give them a detailed explanation, and it took almost an hour to look around.

After looking at the house, Old Man Gu invited people to sit down in the living room, and asked the little servant to serve tea, and then said: "This house was built by me brick by brick, not only the materials were personally selected by me, but even the layout of this house was planned by me personally. To tell you the truth, the first two **** houses have just been released to be sold, and there are several people who come to see the house, and I have refused. It's not that the price is low, but I'm afraid that selling to those people will ruin my good house. I heard Brother Shen say that you are familiar with the eldest master and the third young master, and the eldest master is kind to me, and it is not easy for you to take a few children, Mrs. Xu, and they are all clean and neat people, so I am willing to sell the house to you. ”

Xu Xiangwan saw that the old man was indeed a cool person, so he nodded at the Zhang family with a smile.

When he was out of the house, Zhang's was by his side, and Xu Xiangwan, a seven-year-old child, was naturally not easy to get ahead.

Seeing Xu Xiangwan nodding, Zhang said solemnly: "Master Gu, don't worry, if this house is sold to us, we will take good care of it, and we will never let your hard work go in vain." ”

Old Man Gu heard what Zhang said, and then he finally relieved himself.

It took him two years to build this house, and it was another proud work of his son in addition to his son, so he was naturally reluctant to give up. There were people in front of him who didn't even sell it for 1,600 taels, either because they disliked people for being sloppy, or because they didn't know how to cherish things, otherwise it would not be Xu Xiangwan's turn for them to pick up a big bargain.

Old Man Gu also said that they only took away the soft and light furniture from the things in this house, and the rest of the items were left for Xu Xiangwan's family, and they didn't need to add money, so they still gave the money according to the 1,000 taels agreed before.

For Old Man Gu's generosity, Zhang and the others were very grateful, and thanked him again and again, but he blocked them back, only saying that they only needed to take care of the house for a good life.

Both parties were satisfied, so they made an appointment to go to the government office early the next morning to exchange the deed paper.

Early the next morning, Xu Xiangwan's family hurriedly finished freshening up, got into a carriage and rushed to the mansion.

When I arrived at the door of the mansion, it was not yet time, the sky was just slightly bright, and the door of the mansion was still closed, but the old man Gu had already led the little guy he saw yesterday and waited at the door of the mansion.

Old Man Gu had just arrived, and when he saw Shen Ye leading Xu Xiangwan's family here, he smiled and pulled Shen Ye to chat, and by the way, he explained a few words to Xu Xiangwan and others about taking care of the house.

As soon as the hour arrived, the iron door of the government office opened with a "clang", but there were two officials at the door to stop them at the door, not letting them enter the door, saying that they had to wait until three o'clock in the morning before entering the government.

I heard that I had to wait for so long, and a group of people were standing outside and were cold, so I found a breakfast shop, ordered some hot soy milk and sweet soup, and chatted while drinking it as if it were tea.

Old man Gu is a talkative person, and from the moment he sat down, he began to talk about how he built the Gu Mansion, and talked about how the Gu Mansion would expand in the future, and this idea of expansion coincided with Xu Xiangwan's, so Xu Xiangwan listened very carefully.

The reason why there is a large vacant land in the backyard of the Gu Mansion is to leave it for the future to build a third house or repair a back garden, if it weren't for the fact that Old Man Gu was tight, I'm afraid that today's Gu Mansion would not be a house with two or three entrances.

Hearing this, Xu Xiangwan really admired Old Man Gu's vision, he not only thought of the future expansion when he built the house, but also made some changes in many details to make the house more comfortable to live in. For example, in the kitchen, Mr. Gu not only inlaid the surface of the stove with polished marble, but also built cabinets and storage cabinets with marble of the same color, and the whole kitchen looked very clean and beautiful, and it was easy to take care of.

In addition, Gu Zhai is also different from ordinary people who love to hang lanterns, but hang bronze wall lamps on the walls, and hang exquisite bronze lanterns in the center of the house, as long as enough candles are lit, Gu Zhai at night is more gorgeous than during the day.

Because of these exquisite decorations, the three Zhang's mother and daughter were really satisfied with the house, and even the Zhang's family, which was too expensive at first, was eager to buy the house and move in.

A few people chatted happily, and before they knew it, it was time for Mao to be on time, and the officials and officials in the government had to go out on errands.

Seeing this situation, Xu Xiangwan and others hurriedly went to the government office, and after Mr. Gu handed over the certificate issued by his relatives, friends and neighbors agreeing to his sale of the property to the official messenger, the official messenger handled the registration of the change of the house deed for them, and only after both parties paid the corresponding taxes did they affix a seal to the house deed and file it in the register.

In this way, this Gu house will officially become the private residence of Xu Xiangwan's family in the future.

After paying the money for Old Man Gu's house, Xu Xiangwan counted the silver money on his body, and there were only more than two hundred taels left, although Old Man Gu left some furniture for them, but their family had more people than Old Man Gu, and the beds, tables, and chairs were not enough, so they had to be added, and there were some other soft furniture, which had to be bought with money, which was a lot of money.

The luggage of the old man Gu's family had already been packed, and they were waiting for the house to be sold and moved to his son's office. Therefore, after going through the procedures for changing the house, Mrs. Gu urged the little maid to carry the luggage onto the carriage, and the old man Gu reluctantly looked at the house carefully for a long time, and was pulled by his wife to say goodbye to Shen Ye, Xu Xiangwan and others.
