Chapter Seventy-One: The Chamber of Secrets
The flower seller paused for a moment, "Girl, you want to buy this house?" ”
Before, she was worried about where she and the old man would go if the house was sold. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Someone said that they bought them at that time to take care of this house, and now the house is about to be sold, if they want to continue to work in the Bai family, they will wait for the house to be sold and follow the steward to Fucheng, if they don't want to go, they can give a deed of sale, and they will arrange it themselves.
The old couple are both locals, and their daughters don't come back much after they get married, and they don't want to leave their hometown to serve people again, but they don't know where to go.
It would be nice if Heiya really bought a house, such a big place, full of flowers and plants in the garden, always needs someone to take care of it, and they may be able to stay here.
"The price of this house is not low, and I heard from the steward at the time that it cost six hundred and eighty taels to buy this house." The black girl brothers and sisters look at the ordinary clothes, do they have so much money to buy them?
"It's so expensive." The black girl is staggering.
Of the three courtyards they had seen before, the most expensive was only more than four hundred taels.
But this is much better than that, and the price is quite appropriate, but I don't know if my uncle and father will agree.
All of their families combined are estimated to be enough to buy this house.
But finally there is a special one that I like, and it's a pity to give up like this.
"I bought it in partnership with my uncle's family, and the price of this house is indeed a bit higher, so I have to discuss it with my family." The black girl replied, wondering how to make more money at once.
"It would be great if you bought it, this house is sold, and you and I don't know where to go." Grandma Selling Flowers cautiously tempted.
"If we really buy it, you will stay and help us clean up the garden, there are so many flowers and plants, and we really can't do without such an expert as Grandpa who grows flowers." The black girl heard what she meant, and replied with a grin.
"Even if we can't afford this, we have to buy other houses in the county, if you don't have a suitable place, you can go there with me, and I will give you your current monthly money."
"Hey, as long as the old man and I have a place to stay and have something to eat, we have saved some silver over the years, which is enough." The grandmother who sold flowers said happily, "The estimate of the Bai family's steward is only a few days, if you really want to buy it, the old woman will help you talk about it, and try to give a cheap price." ”
"That couldn't be better......"
After the two finished talking, the medicine was also boiling on the stove.
"You go play with Xiaoya, just watch the old woman here."
"Hey, then I'll serve a bowl of water to Grandpa Planter." Heiya sent another bowl of water, and seeing that he was much better, she let him lie down and rest, and she and Xiaoya walked around the garden.
The small courtyard inside is locked, and the black girl has a bunch of keys given to her by the grandmother who sells flowers, and she uses the key to open it wherever she wants, and locks it when she leaves.
The two went to see the lotus flowers, the two-acre lake was covered with emerald green lotus leaves, the pink or white lotus flowers were slim and elegant, full of fragrant gardens, and there were lotus canopies as big as an adult's fist, waving in the wind on the water surface.
There was a small wooden boat on the edge of the lake, but unfortunately the black girl couldn't row, and there was no one else, so she could only look at it greedily, but she still didn't dare to take the risk.
The black girl can swim, and she is not afraid of falling into the water, but there is still a little girl, and she doesn't dare to mess around.
"If only Grandpa didn't get sick." The little girl looked at the lotus flowers and lotus canopy in the lake greedily, "I really want to pick some and come back......
"Grandma said that what this house wants to sell is too expensive, and we don't know if we can afford it."
"Ahh Is it really going to be sold? Then I'll go back and tell my uncle and aunt that I must buy this place. When the little girl heard the news, she twisted happily by the lake, "I just want this house, but I want it." “
"I want to too, but I don't know if the family has so much money." Heiya looked at Xiaoya with a smile, children are good, cry when they want to cry, laugh when they want to laugh, and dance when they are happy.
The little girl was thinking about buying the house, so she took the black girl to look at all the gardens inside and out.
Except for the gate of the garden, which will be locked, all other places are hung with locks, and you can enter directly, and the black girl is also the first time to see the furnishings in the house.
Because I haven't lived in it for a long time, many of the rooms have accumulated a layer of dust, and most of the furniture is complete, and even if there is dust, you can see that it is some good wood.
Heiya didn't know much about this, so she could only recognize mahogany and huanghuali, as well as the set of red sandalwood in front of her.
This should be the study room of the main courtyard, this room alone has about more than 100 square meters, there is a circle of exquisite bookshelves against the wall, and there is a multi-treasure pavilion next to it, but now it is empty, there is a big desk next to the window, and a small pen holder is poured on the table, and a layer of dust has also fallen.
Heiya walked over slowly, straightened the pen holder, since it can stay here, it must not be a valuable thing, look carefully, it should be made of nanmu.
The table in front of him was huge, worthy of a 1.8-meter bed. On one side are four drawers, and on the other side is a cabinet, all of which are beautifully carved, and the middle and bottom are empty, where one can sit and read and write, but at the bottom of the back there is a board of wood as thick and wooden as the tabletop, which is connected to the table.
"With such a big desk, you can use a futon as a bed." The little girl circled around the desk, amazed.
Heiya looked at the wooden plank underneath, and didn't know why a strange idea suddenly popped up.
She crouched down and groped along the board, and sure enough, she found a thin groove on either side.
This board should be movable!
But I tried to pull it, but I couldn't pull it.
There should be something wrong.
The black girl circled around the table and saw a unicorn wood carving in the hollow block behind her.
This wood carving is very cleverly made, as if it was deliberately carved out of a hollow place, and it looks like it is connected to the table.
Around to the other side, there is also a unicorn wood carving, it is said that the beasts are to be paired, so there will be one on one side, but now the two unicorns are tilted outward at a forty-five degree angle, in an inverted figure-eight shape in the two corners of the desk.
The black girl put her hand in from the hollow place, tentatively rotated, and sure enough, the unicorn turned forty-five degrees.
The other one also turned around, and then went to pull the plank, and sure enough, it was able to pull.
Xiaoya quietly watched her sister fumble and fumble until the planks were pulled apart, revealing a dark hole and a layer of stone steps below.
"Sister!" Xiaoya exclaimed, quickly covered her mouth again, and whispered, "There's a hole down here." ”
"It should be a secret room built by an unknown owner." The black girl whispered, "I'll go down and take a look later, you're guarding outside." ”
"Could there be any danger inside?" The little girl glared and took the black girl's hand with a look of fear.
"It shouldn't be, it's just that it's been sealed for a long time and you need to change the air." The black girl smiled, picked up a stone from the courtyard outside and threw it down, "Look, there's no movement." ”
