Chapter 103: Haunted House

Of course, Nianfu will never enter Ouyang's house again.

came to the corner gate and asked people to call Ouyang Kang out, and as soon as he told him about the matter, Ouyang Kang thought about it, "It's not impossible to buy." I remember hearing my grandmother say that when she first saw the world, she wanted to come to the capital to buy a suite. But I couldn't find the right person to ask for, so I had to give up. It's just that I remember that the law of the imperial court stipulates that if you ask for a field, ask your relatives and neighbors first, and you must be cautious in these aspects, or I will go with you tomorrow to have a look. ”

That's for the best. After talking about business, Nianfu planned to leave, Lan Gu came out a little embarrassed to say hello, Nianfu agreed lukewarmly and left.

Lan Gu only felt that the boss was not interesting, but when she turned around, Ouyang Kang also went back to the house by himself. He doesn't like to take care of himself these days, which makes Lan Gu feel weird. I was thinking about whether to go back to the room to embroider a handkerchief for Nianfu to make amends, and suddenly saw Ah Qi bringing a snack to Ouyang Kang.

Since Ouyang Kang listed the courtyard separately, Ah Qi also returned to Ouyang Zhuang's side. However, she served Ouyang Kang once, and she still has some feelings for this side, and today she heard that there was a freshly listed chestnut cake outside, so she bought two copies, one for her master, and one for Ouyang Kang to try.

Lan Gu didn't have many acquaintances in this courtyard, so it was easy to see one, so she naturally greeted her very affectionately, "Ah Qi is here, bring it to me." ”

She wanted to reach out to pick it up, but Ah Qi looked at her and snorted softly, "Don't dare." If something comes out at that time, won't you be held responsible? ”

Lan Gu had an empty hand in her hand, which was embarrassing. Listening to her sarcasm again, her face turned red, but she couldn't speak.

Ah Qi seemed to be a little unbearable, and looked at her again, but still quickened her pace and left.

Lan Gu bit her lip and was about to go back to the room, when suddenly someone called her behind her, it was the housekeeper mother who was in charge of the yard, and Lan Gu had to stand on her feet.

The mother said, "Lan Gu." There's something I've wanted to mention to you. But thinking that you are also an old man who serves the eldest young master, you must know how to advance and retreat, but why do you not understand the rules so much? ”

Lan Gu was stunned, "What's wrong with me?" ”

The woman looked her up and down. "You're not a good person."

"You!" Lan Gu was so angry that her hands and feet were cold. The tears are coming out.

I only heard the woman sneer. "Am I wrong? Isn't your name a mistake for our eldest lady? If you were a person who knew the rules, you would have known that the Tao was going to be changed. Why don't you mention it these days? Are there any rules for this? ”

Lan Gu didn't want to cry, but the tears still fell. The words also had a bit of a pitiful taste, "But my name was chosen by my wife......"

"How can my wife have the same name as you as the eldest lady?" The mother-in-law pretended not to understand, "There is also a word aunt added at the back, with seniority, what, you want to be the aunt of the eldest lady, and the sister-in-law of the lord can't be?" ”

Obviously, that's not the case! Lan Gu really wanted to be brave, as Ouyang Kang hoped, to quarrel with others and fight with others. But sadly, he found that he couldn't even move a finger except trembling all over.

The mother-in-law pretended to be kind and said, "Forget it, look at your age, I won't be difficult for you, hurry up and tell the eldest young master, change your name, save the master to ask, you yourself have no face." ”

The mother-in-law left, and Lan Gu's chest rose and fell violently for a while before she was finally able to move. But what if she can move? I could only rush back to my room and cry with the quilt.

And outside the window, I don't know which girls are still chewing the root of their tongues.

"Some people are really thick-skinned. If you want to be an old girl, you have to rely on the master, but with a little bit of old affection, do you really want to provide for her like the master's wife? ”

"That's it! I haven't seen her do anything great, what stinky shelves are there all day long? Who doesn't have faithfulness? ”

"The eyelids are shallow, and they want to pull into the house when they see any good things, and they are still under the banner of the master, who knows if there are some people who have selfish intentions?"

"Although you and I haven't read a book, we still know that being a man is about righteousness. But some people will only push others when something happens, but fortunately, we are far away, maybe we will be implicated! ”

Listening to such blatant insinuations, Lan Gu was even more ashamed of herself, and her face was hot.

She didn't understand, she was obviously kind to her, but she made Ouyang Kang blame, Sister Mu was also offended, and the subordinates even ganged up to bully her.

Could it really be that she did something wrong?

Early the next morning, Ouyang Kang followed Nianfu to see the house.

Jiang Yanji brought another person, saying that his surname was Kong, and he was also a Yanji. He looks quite old and doesn't talk much. Directly took Ouyang Kang and Nianfu to see a house worth seven hundred taels first, just one bright and two dark three rooms, the room is quite clean, and the location is okay, it is said that the house is in a hurry to make a move, so it is so cheap. But when the two of them saw the smoky environment around them, they immediately shook their heads.

Then I took them to an alley called Lirenfang, and there was a nice little house. Small and small three into the yard, the layout is reasonable, the windows are bright and clean.

What is especially rare is that there is also a large attic in the main house. Brightly lit, spacious and clean, it is furnished in the shape of a bedroom inside, a study outside, a whole wall of bookcases, and a small lush garden outside the window.

Ouyang Kang liked it at a glance, "How much is this?" ”

Kong Yan remembered, "There are a lot of people in this house, but the asking price is also expensive, so I haven't taken it off." If Gongzi really wants it, I'll go talk about it and see if I can say three thousand taels. ”

So expensive? Ouyang Kang was a little painful, and Nianfu also wanted to kill and bargain, "Then who lives next to here?" ”

Kong Yan remembered, "On the left is the family of the Ministry of Works, and on the right is the family of Cao Shenjun of Jingzhao Mansion. ”

Ouyang Kang was shocked when he heard this, these are all members of the imperial court, how can they live in such a place?

It's Nianfu, I've seen a lot of real estate markets these days, and I understand something, so I told him in a low voice. "It's nothing, I met an adult in the monk's temple when I rented a house!"

Kong Yanji said honestly, "In the capital, not every adult can afford to buy and rent a good house. Many adults came from modest families, and if their wives did not have a good dowry, they had to rent cheap houses. Compared with the miscellaneous courtyard, the monks' houses in the temple are decent, so there are the most renters. If you want to live better, but you don't have money, you can only live on the outskirts of the city. But in that case, every day when I go back and forth in the morning light, I have to ride a horse for more than half an hour. It's hard work. Many adults simply lived alone in the yamen. It is not easy to settle his wife and children outside the city and go home every time he is resting. ”

Hearing what he said, Ouyang Kang and Nianfu were also a little hesitant in their hearts. And they are not to go to court. Why don't you just live on the outskirts of the city? But it's not convenient to do business that way. Besides, Ouyang Kang thinks. Security on the outskirts of the city is not necessarily good. Nianfu is a girl's house again, how unsafe is it to put it outside?

I only listened to the Kong Lingji and said, "In fact, the past few years have been decided because of the world. The housing prices in the capital are not too expensive, if there was a house like this in the past, don't ask if you don't have seven or eight thousand taels. However, this is also a lot of expenses, so you might as well go back and think about it again, in fact, if you can bear it, renting a house is still cheaper. It's just that if the son lives too far away, he will make friends with classmates in the future, and it will not be very convenient to go to a banquet and make a poetry party or something. So I suggest that it is better to rent it in the temple, although it is more noisy to beat the bell and drums, it is convenient. ”

It's good that he didn't say this, as soon as he said this, Ouyang Kang and Nianfu glanced at each other, and they both felt that this guy was honest, and he was even more moved by the suite he sold.

Thinking about the terrifying housing prices that rose more and more in his previous life, Nianfu pulled Ouyang Kang aside, "Otherwise, let's buy this, the house in the capital will not fall anywhere in the future." ”

Ouyang Kang also felt that it was feasible, "If three thousand taels of silver can be negotiated, we will buy it." ”

Kong Yanji didn't dare to agree, and said that he would discuss with the landlord and give a reply later. Nian Fu hurriedly took out a piece of silver to thank him and asked him to bother.

But this Kong Lingji is really honest, "The deal is not negotiated, no commission is charged, and when the negotiation is completed, it is the same to reward again." By the way, both of you are free these days, right? ”

Ouyang Kang hurriedly said, "I don't have time the day after tomorrow, it's best to come tomorrow." ”

Kong Lingji should go down, Nianfu and Ouyang Kang sighed at the benevolence of this Lingji, and began to discuss what furniture to buy and how to arrange it.

The next day, I waited for a day, but the boy didn't come. Wait another day, it will be the day of Ouyang Zhuang's wine, no matter how worried Ouyang Kang is, he has to go there to socialize.

In the middle of the day, Nian Fu was absentmindedly stir-frying, thinking about whether the Kong Lingji would not come, but he didn't think that the person would come with a sweat, "It's easy for the landlord to agree, and the neighbors on the left and right have also signed the consent form, you can go to the yamen with me to do the thing!" ”

Aunt Xu hurriedly took the spatula, "This is the right matter, you go to the eldest young master." ”

Nianfu hurriedly said, "His family is setting up wine today, and he is definitely not here at the moment, what can I do?" ”

Kong Yan remembered, "This is no way, the landlord is already too low, and finally said that he was moved, if it is delayed again, I am afraid that the second time will not be this price." ”

Nian Fu gritted his teeth, "Forget it, then I'll go with you." ”

Soon I met the landlord with Kong Lingji, and I heard that the landlord was impatient to wait, and had already left, leaving only a housekeeper waiting there with the master's seal. Nian Fu had two sentences, but the man was very wooden and didn't answer anything.

When they went to the yamen together, he had something to say, "The master has instructed that such a cheap price must be paid in full at one time, and if it is in arrears, it will not be sold." ”

The little official rolled his eyes unhappily and asked Nianfu, "Then do you bring enough money?" If you don't have one, go back quickly, and don't delay our meal! ”

Seeing that he looked very impatient, he couldn't read the blessing, so he had to take out three thousand taels of silver tickets, check them in person, and the little official wrote down the delivery documents and went through the formalities.

When the matter was completed, the housekeeper accepted the silver ticket and accepted it, and Kong Lingji took the commission he deserved and said that he had said goodbye in advance. Only Nian Fu, holding that fluttering deed, suddenly had a very unreal feeling.

Three thousand taels of silver, just for such a thing?

She suddenly wondered if she was a little hot-headed. Why did you buy it on the spur of the moment? But what's the use of thinking about it now? Nianfu thought about the house, and couldn't help comforting himself, there was nothing to do, real estate would increase in value.

But just as she walked out of the yamen, she suddenly heard the messenger behind her muttering, "The dilapidated ghost house in Lirenfang was actually sold for three thousand taels, are people crazy now?" (To be continued......)
