Xu Xiangwan and Xiao Jiu are not familiar with Fucheng, and they even asked and looked for it in the morning, but they only found two or three tooth shops, but unfortunately they didn't find a suitable house, either the house was too small, or the asking price was too high, and the most outrageous thing was that a house with four shops in the east of the city actually asked for two thousand taels. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Although they didn't find a suitable house, the two of them were not without gains, and they ran a few tooth stores, at least they had a rough understanding of the housing price market in Fucheng.

Yizhou Mansion is a house, three main houses with two ear rooms, including the east and west wings of the blue brick and red tile houses generally ask for about 400 taels, the materials are slightly worse about 300 taels, even if it is an adobe house, it has to cost 1200 taels. If there are more than two houses, even the adobe will cost 500 taels, and those who can see a little more will have to pay 1,000 taels.

This made the sisters and brothers have to sigh, this Yizhou Mansion is really an inch of land!

Thinking of the expenses of Yizhou Mansion, Xu Xiangwan thought of Wulang, and before leaving, Xu Xiangwan gave Wulang a hundred taels of silver, although the clothes of the four seasons were newly made with the best materials sent by Han Qi and others, and there was no need to spend money to buy them outside, but the bundles, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, food and lodging all cost money, and I don't know if the silver on his body is enough to spend. Although the letter sent back by Gorou a few days ago said that he was fine, Xu Xiangwan was still a little uneasy, and planned to go to Songtao Mountain to visit after they settled first.

Fortunately, Shen Ye knew that Xu Xiangwan was in urgent need of money, so he gave Xu Xiangwan the dividends of the hand cream he sold two days ago in advance, which was enough for eight hundred taels. However, at the beginning of the month, two-thirds of the hand balm made by Xu Xiangwan was sold, and according to Shen Ye, the remaining ten boxes were also ordered, but no one had been sent to pick them up.

With the addition of these eight hundred taels, Xu Xiangwan also has more than 1,000 taels of silver, so after the discussion of their mother and son, they still plan to buy a slightly larger house, so that in the future, if the family needs to add more people, or Wulang and Xiaojiu's classmates and friends come to visit, there will be a place to settle.

The two didn't let the coachman drive the carriage back to the inn until noon, and when they went back, they happened to meet Shen Ye with a happy face at the door.

Seeing Shen Ye's expression, Xu Xiangwan was overjoyed, thinking that he had brought good news.

Sure enough, as soon as Shen Ye saw Xu Xiangwan, he hurriedly beckoned them back to the guest room together, and when Zhang and Xu Qiuyi had arrived, he didn't even have time to sit down and said with his eyebrows fluttering: "Today, I went to see my acquaintance's house, with blue bricks and red tiles, the window beams are still new, and the ground is paved with bluestone slab bricks, which is said to have been repaired the year before last." Although there are not many rooms, and there are only two entrances, there is a backyard about the size of two or three acres of land behind the house. The most important thing is that my acquaintance is in a hurry to take office, and the new official over there needs to take office and urgently need cash, so now he sells it cheaply, saying that it only costs 1,000 taels to sell, and if he sees it, he can go to the government tomorrow to exchange the deed paper for the record. ”

The Zhang family still didn't know the house price in Fucheng, and he still thought that the price was expensive, but Xu Xiangwan was full of joy after hearing it, and quickly put the tea cup in his hand on the table: "Uncle shopkeeper, you said this is true?" Is that man really willing to sell it for a thousand taels? ”

After listening to Shen Ye's description, combined with the market he inquired about this morning, such a big mansion and a newly built blue brick and red tile would cost at least 1,500 taels of silver, but now it only costs 1,000 taels, how could Xu Xiangwan not be happy?

Knowing that Xu Xiangwan was so happy that he couldn't help but ask him like this, Shen Ye was naturally not angry, and said happily: "The price is so much, you have to be in a hurry." If I hadn't sent him a letter two days ago, asking him to keep it for me for two days, I'm afraid I would have been taken in by the dental store and sold by myself. If you think it's okay, we can go to the house inspection in the afternoon, and if you're satisfied, go to the government early tomorrow morning. ”

For Shen Ye's character, Xu Xiangwan's family can trust it, so they have some expectations for the house he said, and they all agree to go to see the house in the afternoon, and if it is really good, it will be decided directly.

Especially Xiao Jiu, when he heard that he was going to see the house in the afternoon, his mood had already jumped, and he couldn't wait to go over and see it without lunch.

Due to the tight time, a few people asked Xiao Er to send a simple meal, and everyone ate it hastily

Only the coachman surnamed Huang was left in the inn to watch the luggage, and the rest of the people got into another carriage and went straight to the east of the city. Fortunately, these two coachmen are familiar to Shen Ye, and they are both honest people, so they are very relieved to use.

Shen Ye's acquaintance is surnamed Gu, named Wen, who used to be the right-hand man of Old Lady Shen, and later because of Old Lady Shen's illness, the Shen family thanked him for his contribution to the Shen family, so they returned his deed of sale to him, and also gave him a lot of severance pay to support his old age. Gu Wen's son is also angry, he has been studying since he was a child, and he has been famous this year, and the court also released the county officials, which can be regarded as a glorious lintel.

Gu Wen's house is located in Yumen Lane, east of the city.

Until this time, Xu Xiangwan knew that the capital city of Yizhou was more than twice as large as the county seat of Ganquan, and it took nearly half an hour to take the carriage from the center of the city to the east of the city.

Fortunately, although Yizhou Mansion is big, but the layout is similar to Ganquan County, the streets and houses are lined up in a tic-tac-toe, the streets are paved with bluestone slabs, which are spacious and tidy, and there are signs next to each street to indicate the name of the street, and it is very convenient to start the road.

The Gu family's house is located in the deepest part of Yumen Lane, and a little further is Babao Lane.

Although this house is located in the depths of the alley, there are many residents in this alley, and Babao Lane is also an alley with many households, so there are many pedestrians, but there is no need to worry about being too deserted and encountering gangsters.

Yumen Lane is spacious, not to mention through a carriage, even if there is another one, it can be staggered, so Xu Xiangwan is satisfied with this place.

Under Shen Ye's guidance, the carriage stopped in front of a house with a vermilion red door, and there was a plaque with gold characters on a black background hanging on the door, with the word "Gu Zhai" written on it.

The gate of this Gu Mansion looks no different from the surrounding residents, but it is ordinary, and there is no special place to see.

Shen Ye took the lead in getting out of the car, went to the door, pulled the door knocker and buckled it gently.

After a while, a boy in coarse cloth came to answer the door, this person obviously knew Shen Ye, saw him and hurriedly saluted, and invited him to enter the door without seeing the report.

Shen Ye said to the kid: "You go and inform your master first, and say that I brought a guest to see the room." ”

When the kid heard this, he looked at the carriage, and when he saw that the curtains moved, he hurriedly smiled and said: "Back to the shopkeeper Shen, my master said that if he saw you bringing someone here, he didn't need to go back to him, just take it in." Ladies and gentlemen, please get out of the carriage and lead you into the house. (To be continued.) )
