Chapter 46: Succession
Zhou Xiangkun was also a cultivator and a family, and later got a middle school, because he was old and did not take the test again, but relied on the family to survive, and later also accepted a few students, is a rare and kind person.
He saw that Li Luan'er liked this house very much, so he smiled and said: "My ancestral house was originally in the countryside, and later because my son was studying, I bought land to build this house. ”
While talking, he led Steward Zhou and Li Luan'er to the backyard, the front yard is wide, the backyard is much more exquisite, the house is small, and only one garden is very beautiful.
This garden is not big, but the rockery and flowing water, the small bridge and pond are also complete, the water is the living water that leads, even in the summer, there is no taste, plus the flowers and trees in the garden are numerous, it is also very interesting.
Li Luan'er was delighted when she saw it: "This garden is not bad." ”
Zhou Juren smiled: "The insiders love flowers and plants, and this garden has always been taken care of by her." ”
"Your lady is a gentleman." Li Luan'er praised a few words, as Zhou Juren walked around the garden, and then looked at a few houses in the backyard, the houses are all furnished, although the house is small, but the layout is unique, very bookish, really Li Luan'er's eyes.
After shopping around the whole house, the three of them went to the front hall, Zhou Juren asked the girl to serve tea, and while drinking tea, he looked at Steward Zhou and Li Luan'er: "The two of them have also seen this house, what is the idea, we don't say dark words in front of the Ming people, I am in a hurry to go to the south, if the price given by the eldest lady is right, I will sell this house, and I can't move the other furniture, so I will give it to the eldest lady." ”
Li Luan'er drank a cup of tea, looked up and smiled: "What do you always mean?" How much does this house want to sell for? ”
Zhou Juren stretched out three fingers and shook them.
Li Luan'er shook her head and stretched out two fingers.
Zhou Juren was immediately anxious when he saw it: "Big lady, you can inquire all over Phoenix City, but there is no such cheap house, although I say that it is a two-entry house, but the place is large, speaking of which, this house is a lot more than three-in, plus those furniture, but they are all good materials." ”
Steward Zhou put down the teacup: "Master Zhou, Mrs. Li wants to buy a house in the city because of difficulties, she doesn't have much money, you want these three hundred taels is really expensive, but the two hundred taels are also a little cheap, according to me, the two of you take a step back and take a middle price." ”
Li Luan'er nodded: "What Steward Zhou said is reasonable, you are in a hurry to sell the house, and I am in a hurry to buy a house, and we don't have to pull the fiber anymore, how about two hundred and forty taels." ”
Zhou Juren was still a little reluctant: "It's too cheap, two hundred and eighty taels." ”
Li Luan'er knocked on the table: "Forget it, I'll suffer a loss, two hundred and sixty taels, one or two can't be more." ”
Zhou Juren smiled and stood up: "That's it, two hundred and sixty taels is two hundred and sixty taels, only I want cash." ”
"Okay." Li Luan'er thought that she had brought a silver ticket when she came, that is, she had taken a fancy to this house, and it was not bad to buy it now, so she agreed with Zhou Juren, and asked someone to ask for a guarantor, and the people in the yamen came to set up a document, Zhou Juren took out the title deed and changed Li Chun's name, Li Luaner handed over the silver, and the house changed hands.
When he came out of Zhou Ju's house, Li Luan'er took the broken silver and gave it to the guarantor, and gave some silver to the clerks in the yamen, only saying that he would invite everyone to eat and drink, but the people who coaxed him smiled and patted his chest to promise that Li Luan'er would only look for them if he had something to do in the future.
Li Luan'er thanked Steward Zhou again, and saw that it was not early, so she wanted to go back.
Steward Zhou was a little worried, and told Li Luan'er: "Even if you have already bought a house, move here as soon as possible, this house is close to the Yan family, and I can take care of you for a while, and when the time comes, the yamen will find someone to serve, I am afraid that I will not be able to find here, even if I find it, you just ask someone to find me, the young master has already said, he will help you with this matter." ”
Li Luan'er thanked her again and again, only saying that she would move on an auspicious day, and personally sent Steward Zhou back, so she hired a car to go back to the village.
Along the way, Li Luan'er was a little strange, and she didn't know why the young master Yan wanted to help her.
It stands to reason that Zhang Ying's father is a local magistrate, and he is also a local snake, Yan Dashao should not have a grudge with the Zhang family for her little girl, how can he listen to the meaning of Zhou Steward, Yan Dashao seems to be very resentful of the Zhang family's approach?
Or does the Yan family have an enmity with the Zhang family?
Li Luan'er thought about it for a while, and then thought that the Yan family and the Cui family had grudges for several lifetimes, and no one could bear anyone, and now that the Zhang family and the Cui family are married, they are standing on the opposite side of the Yan family, perhaps, Yan Dashao wants to slap the Cui family in the face by refuting the face of the Zhang family.
After thinking for a while, Li Luan'er shook her head, how many days has she been here, where do she know the Tao of these families, these families are entangled, the relationship is as complicated as a spider's web, but it is not something that she can figure out as a little woman, anyway, now that she has hugged the thigh of the Yan family, she will hold it honestly, and when she does not have absolute strength, she can only rely on others to live.
When she got home, Li Luan'er got out of the carriage and saw that the door of the courtyard was open, and Li Feng'er was sitting in the courtyard, holding a needle and thread in her hand, but she couldn't do it, and kept looking at the door.
Seeing her come back, Li Feng'er threw down the work in her hand and ran over quickly, first took the basket on her back, and then asked, "Sister, how are things going?" The Yan family doesn't accept our land, if they think the land is expensive, we can give it away for nothing, as long as we don't let my brother go to serve, whatever. ”
Her repeated questions made Li Luan'er feel funny, and scratched her nose: "Don't worry, the land is sold, the Yan family is a kind family, and they gave us a hundred taels of silver." ”
"Really?" Li Feng'er was overjoyed: "It's really kind, this land can't be sold so much." ”
Li Luan'er smiled: "The Yan family is not short of those money, I am afraid that it is for the sake of me that I have helped Yan Xiaogongzi." ”
While he was talking, Mrs. Jin also came out: "What's the matter, but it's sold?" ”
"Sold." Li Luan'er smiled and nodded: "Not only has the land been sold, but even the house has been bought, madam, you find an auspicious day, and we will move immediately." ”
When she entered the house, Li Luan'er had not yet sat down, Mrs. Jin had already taken out the yellow calendar and started to search, checked it and said with a smile: "It will be sixteen in a few days, this is a good day, why don't you move that day." ”
Li Luan'er looked at Huang Li's head and asked Li Feng'er: "I'll go up the mountain to hunt more prey while I'm still in the village, you can clean up the things at home in the next few days, we don't need any furniture or anything, and the pots and bowls will be purchased in the city, you just pick up the clothes and stuff and pack them out, and we'll move in a few days." ”
Li Feng'er responded coolly, and pestered Li Luan'er to ask about the situation of the new home, how the house was, how much money it bought, and where the house was located in the county.
Li Luan'er was not a little impatient, and listened to her one by one, the sisters were talking, when they heard the sound of knocking on the door, Li Feng'er hurriedly went to open the door, and as soon as the door opened, she saw the four uncle's family standing outside the door.
"Fourth uncle, fourth aunt?" Li Feng'er was taken aback: "It's so late, ...... you guys"
The fourth aunt smiled: "We have something to discuss with you." ”
As they spoke, they didn't wait for Li Feng'er to invite them, and the two of them swaggered in.
Waiting to sit down in the main hall, the fourth uncle turned his head to look around, looked at the neat and tidy main hall, and then looked at the spacious house, touched his chin and smiled: "Feng'er, what about your sister, call your sister over, the fourth uncle has something to say to you."
"Fourth uncle, if you have something, just say it." Li Luan'er entered the house at this time, sat down under the fourth uncle, and asked with a smile.
The fourth uncle looked at Li Luan'er twice, and then looked at Li Feng'er, and saw that the two sisters and sons were dressed well, the clothes were made of good materials, and the workmanship was good.
"Luan'er, look, there are only three of you brothers and sisters in this family, and your brother can't stand up to the door, and it's hard to say that your two sisters will marry in the future, but you can't do it, Feng'er, this girl looks so good, and she works diligently and well, she should be said to be a good family, but the men in the family don't do anything, so it's worrying."
The fourth uncle's face was full of sadness, and he looked like he was planning for Li Luan'er and his sisters.
"Our family is like this, if others dislike it, I will never marry for the rest of my life." As soon as Li Feng'er heard this, her anger came up, she couldn't stand others saying that her brother was not up to the task.
"You kid, what's the hurry, sit down quickly." The fourth aunt smiled and came over to pull Li Feng'er: "Listen to your fourth uncle." ”
The fourth uncle sighed: "I can't sleep with your fourth aunt for a few days, just worry about you, no, I thought of a way with your aunt today, so I came over to discuss with you." ”
"What's the method?" Li Luan'er sneered in her heart, and said in her heart that I am afraid that these two did not have any good ideas.
Sure enough, the fourth uncle said: "There are more men in our family, so I want to pass on your brother, first, there is a top person in your family, and second, in the future, your brother will marry a wife and have children, so he can take care of your brother." ”
