Li Luan'er didn't hunt for several days, she set off from Lijiazhuang and walked slowly along the official road, surveying the terrain as she went, trying to find a good place to build a house.

Lijiazhuang is about ten miles away from the county seat, the official road from Lijiazhuang is not very good, the potholed ox cart and horse-drawn carriage walk on it is very bumpy, but the road condition is much better when you walk out of about three or five miles, at least much smoother than the previous section of the road.

Li Luan'er observed for several days before choosing a place.

This place is a three-way intersection, to the south is Lijiazhuang, to the north is the county seat, to the east is a very rich village named Xiaoliuzhuang, to the west is the official road to the neighboring county, this place is very good, it is rare to be close to a small river, there is a very flat field by the river, and a few peach trees are planted next to the field.

Li Luan'er took a fancy to this place at a glance, observed for a few days, and saw that there was no better place than this, so she began to inquire whose family this land belonged and which village it belonged to?

After asking a few people, Li Luaner simply went to the tooth store in the county town and asked the Chinese people to help inquire.

A few days later, the news came from the tooth shop, saying that this place is a wealthy family in Xiaoliuzhuang Sun Dafa, but coincidentally, Sun Dafa has been passed on for several generations, and in his generation, he actually gave birth to five sons in succession, and the original Sun Dafa family is only his brother, and the house at home is down, but seeing that his sons have reached the age of marrying, this house is too little.

Sun Dafa is also a shrewd person, knowing that there are many brothers who always live together in one place for a long time, it is inevitable that there will be opinions, so he wants to divide the family for his sons, this family, first of all, to build a house, Sun Dafa has a plan, the old house will keep their old two to live, and then build five new houses for the five sons.

Sun Dafa is also one of the few people in Xiaoliuzhuang, and when he builds a house, he naturally has to build it.

The drawings of the houses have already been drawn, and in order to show that he is impartial, the five new houses are all blue brick houses with three compartments.

In this way, Rao is Sun Dafa is rich, but it is enough for him to drink a pot, so he thought that the place near the official road was not of much use, that is, he planted grain, and the annual harvest was not good, so he pondered and sold it.

As soon as the people of Yaxing discussed with Sun Dafa, he happily agreed.

Early this morning, it was the day when Li Luan'er made an appointment with the people in the tooth shop, she and Mrs. Jin went to Xiaoliuzhuang together, and only then did they arrive at the entrance of the village, and the money in the tooth shop greeted them with a smile: "Mrs. Li is here early enough." ”

"You came earlier." Li Luan'er smiled and pointed at Mrs. Jin again: "This is my family's generation, you call her Mrs. Jin." ”

Qian Zhongkou called Mrs. and took Li Luan'er and Mrs. Jin into the village.

While walking, Qian Zhongren introduced the situation of Sun Dafa's family, and said: "Because he wants to build a new house, Sun Dafa is in a hurry to use the money, and the asking price is inevitably higher. ”

"I'm sorry for you." Li Luan'er nodded and smiled.

After walking a few more steps, Li Luan'er asked: "I heard you say that Sun Dafa's family wants to build a blue brick and tile house with five positive three-compartments, I don't really understand what it means to be a five-positive three-compartment house." ”

Qian Zhongren glanced at Li Luan'er suspiciously, and at first she was a little puzzled that she didn't even know this, but then she thought that it was a woman's family, which was different from a man, and it was normal not to know.

He explained with a smile: "This five-positive three-box is the best house in the village, that is, five main houses facing north and south, plus the east and west wings, and there are gatehouses and south wings in the south, which add up to the three-compartments." ”

"I see." Li Luan'er nodded while thinking, isn't this a courtyard house in the north, and if you dare to get here, you will have to change your name.

Later, I thought about it again, this quadrangle was also in the previous life when the Ming and Qing dynasties became popular, and now this is a parallel space, so the name is naturally different.

"This pattern is really good, square and square, if the door is closed, the family will live in harmony and beauty." Li Luan'er said while laughing.

Qian Zhongren nodded and said: "That's natural, this kind of house is easy to build, and it is also suitable for living at home. ”

While talking, he had already entered Xiaoliu Village, walked a little longer, and arrived at Sun Dafa's house.

Qian Zhongren called the door, and after a while, a middle-aged woman in her forties opened the door, and when she saw Qian Zhongren, she smiled and said, "It can be regarded as waiting for you to come, hurry up and sit in the house." ”

When the group entered the house, the middle-aged woman was busy serving tea and pouring water, and a middle-aged man in his forties with half-white hair stood up to greet Qian Zhongren.

"Brother Qian is here, hurry up and sit down."

He looked at Li Luan'er and Mrs. Jin again: "I don't know what the two of you call you, so you two should sit down quickly." ”

Look, this should be Sun Dafa, seeing that Sun Dafa's attitude is quite enthusiastic, Li Luan'er thought that this land should be able to be bought.

Sitting down for a while, tea was already served, Li Luan'er took a sip of tea and coughed: "Uncle Sun, we don't talk darkly, I see that your family's land next to the official road is good, and I have already had an idea to buy it, and I will discuss it with you today, you can see how much money is appropriate, and give a happy word." ”

"The big lady is really happy." Sun Dafa laughed: "If you don't twist, I will be happy, my land is more than three acres, and the peach trees next to it are also planted by my family, and then there is that land near the official road, which is naturally different from the land next to it, and now the best good field is about eight taels of silver per acre, how can this land get ten taels, plus those few trees, I don't want more, forty taels of silver will be sold to you." ”

Forty taels?

That's not a lot of money.

Originally, Li Luan'er planned to spend 180 taels to buy land.

In her mind, the land on the side of the road is much more expensive than others, and the price has more than doubled, but she didn't expect Sun Dafa to ask for more than two taels of silver for just over one acre, which really made her a little unable to figure it out.

Later, she thought about it, but she drilled the tip of the horns, this is not like the modern real estate boom in those years, the land is all let unscrupulous real estate developers speculate to sky-high prices, and now the land next to the road, and not the county, let alone a prosperous commercial area, is naturally not much different from the usual crop land price.

"Brother Sun, this is yours." Seeing that Li Luan'er didn't speak, she thought she was not satisfied with the price, so she hurriedly said: "The land next to this official road is often trampled by pedestrians, and the harvest is not as good as anything else. ”

When Li Luan'er heard this, forty taels still had room for exquisiteness, and hurriedly smiled: "Uncle Sun, I don't have to bother with that, thirty-five taels, you have to agree, let's go to the transfer, if not, I'll take a look at the next place." ”
