Chapter 242 Buying a new house
The two hundred and forty-second round
Her remarks were met with little opposition. Therefore, the matter of building the Taiyi Hall in the backyard was decided.
The main reason is that she has sent out all the Taoists who dare to challenge her before vigorously and resolutely, and now Xihuaguan is her hall. It's too late for the Taoists to scold her, where do they dare to disobey her?
Before Qin Ying spoke, he also fully considered the pros and cons of building the main hall. The land in the backyard of Xihuaguan, according to feng shui, is not an auspicious sign, and a long time of vacancy will make the Taoist temple difficult and embarrassed.
She has been rolling in the red dust for so long, and she has never been hungry or cold. But now she has to plan for the entire Taoist temple, there are twenty people in the Taoist temple, and their food and clothing are closely related to Xihuaguan. If the Taoist temple is declining one day, what should these people do?
Besides, she still owes Liu Yun a promise. The construction of the main hall is also killing two birds with one stone.
However, the construction of the main hall is not something that can be done overnight.
The first is to find someone to design the hall and produce countless detailed drawings. Then find a group of skilled civil craftsmen, chisel the soil and stone in the courtyard, and take ink moments and other things to construct the stakeout. In short, it is very troublesome.
Qin Ying sighed against his forehead when he saw this: Compared with building a big hall from scratch, it is easier to buy a ready-made house for himself and Mei Sanniang.
In the afternoon, she took a car into Xiao's house in Xingdao and asked Queen Xiao if the house prices in Xingdao had been reduced.
If it was as inflated as three months ago, she would never have spent too much money in Xingdao.
Although she has recently received a generous reward from His Majesty, the amount of money and silk is dead, and with her extravagant and unruly nature, if she is not careful, she can unconsciously spend only an empty shell, and even in the end, I don't know where the money and silk have gone.
Thinking that she would have to do engineering in Xihuaguan in the future, she now thinks that she can't do it.
Empress Xiao laughed and scolded Qin Ying for being a big official, but she was struggling with money, and she didn't have the ambition and pride to brag about buying a house even though she was penniless.
Qin Ying touched his nose and said that at that time, he had not yet inquired about the housing prices in Chang'an City or even Xingdao.
Mei Sanniang smiled and gave Qin Ying a round to solve the embarrassing atmosphere.
Seeing that Mei Sanniang beside her was full of Qin Ying's shadow, Empress Xiao knew that she would make the two unhappy if she said more, so she shook her fan and squinted and said: "At that time, you said that you were interested in buying a house, I deliberately sent someone to ask around Xingdao, there was no suitable house at that time, but a few days before you came back, a southernmost house in Xingdao was about to change hands, I helped you pay for it, you might as well take Mei Sanniang to see it later, if it is a good heart, you will pay the full amount, three hundred yuan." ”
The location of Xingdaoli is superior, and the land price is high. The asking price of an ordinary house is also very expensive. The mansion that covers an area of several acres is actually more than three hundred guan, and she erased dozens of cents for Qin Ying. Moreover, for the sake of this private house, Queen Xiao also personally ran around in Xingdao several times, which can be described as benevolent and righteous to Qin Ying.
Qin Ying bowed his head and responded gratefully, "Okay." ”
She doesn't care how many people come in and out of the house, she just cares about whether the feng shui is appropriate. However, the north of Xingdaoli is the inner city palace, how can the feng shui under the feet of the Son of Heaven be bad? Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Mei Sanniang, who was still surprised, and thought that Queen Xiao might have completely kept things in the dark in order to surprise them, so even Mei Sanniang, who was closest to Queen Xiao, didn't know a single thing.
Thinking of this, Qin Ying's feelings for Empress Xiao became more and more profound, and she could only kowtow again and again beyond words.
Seeing this, Empress Xiao put down the embroidered fan of butterflies wearing flowers, took Mei Sanniang's soft and boneless hand, put it in front of Qin Ying's eyes, and let Qin Ying hold it before saying, "My beloved little hooves will be circled with you in the future." If something goes wrong with her, I'll ask you. The tone is like a matchmaker, and it is like marrying a girl.
This is not to blame Empress Xiao, she doesn't know Qin Ying's true gender, and she completely regards Qin Ying as Mei Sanniang's lover at this time.
Qin Ying and Mei Sanniang glanced at each other wordlessly, and finally laughed tacitly.
After sitting in the hall for a long time, waiting for the sun to go down, Qin Ying and Mei Sanniang went to the house in person.
Seeing that the shape of the house door was simple and solemn, without the slightest flashiness, Qin Ying felt that Empress Xiao's vision was unique.
Stepping into the courtyard, there were some nameless flowers and plants in the small atrium. Mei Sanniang likes these the most, and before she saw the formal hall, half of her heart was overwhelmed.
Qin Ying turned her face sideways to look at the corners of Mei Sanniang's raised mouth, and said, "If you also take a fancy to this house, I will negotiate with the original owner." ”
After Mei Sanniang nodded, she was about to untie the money bag on her waist, and wanted to give Qin Ying dozens of subsidies on her body. In the past, the two of them said that if they wanted to buy a house, they would work together to pay for it.
And Qin Ying doesn't want to. She saw that Mei Sanniang's hand was frozen in mid-air and never retracted, so she had to soften her tone and said: "I am a five-rank high-ranking official, and I can't talk about it in the same way as the nine-rank petty officials in the past, so you and I can't count what we discussed in the past." I will pay all the money for the house today, and as for the purchase of household goods and servants in the future, can you take the money again? ”
Mei Sanniang thought that after buying this house, maintaining the daily turnover would also be a big expense, and she would not contribute to the purchase of the house, so it would be the same to reduce the burden for Qin Ying in the future, so she obediently put her hands up.
Qin Ying and the original owner of the house quickly cleared up the money and land. She sent the original owner out of the house with two suitcases of luggage, and sighed in her heart that people's fortunes were flowing like feng shui.
The two of them walked around the house again and again, as if they couldn't get enough of it.
In the end, Qin Ying's legs and feet were too tired, and she told Mei Sanniang to spare: "Langjun, I can't walk." ”
Mei Sanniang was stunned for a moment, and then pointed at the tip of Qin Ying's nose and repeated the word "Langjun", smiling back and forth.
In the past, when Qin Ying took Mei Sanniang from Yizhou to Chang'an, she really admired Qin Ying as a Langjun, but that love lasted for a short time before it ended. Because Qin Ying revealed her gender too quickly.
Later, Mei Sanniang became a hot official prostitute, Qin Ying was an unknown little girl by her side, and the roles of the two of them were different, but they were very happy during that time.
In the end, the two people were separated because of various things, and after a long time, they still fell into the same place.
The next day, Qin Ying and Mei Sanniang went to the West Market to buy some servants and cleaned up the long-standing mansion inside and out.
Qin Ying's body was a little weak, and she didn't do much practical things, just sat in the seat like a middle-aged person and watched Mei Sanniang busy, and at the same time thought that Mei Sanniang was really a very talented person.
After a few more days, the house was on track.
Qin Ying invited her sister and brother-in-law, who showed affection and sweetness, to her house, and the four of them talked and laughed all night. During this period, Mei Sanniang got Mingli's judgment. Fortune is rich and lifeless. (To be continued.) )
