Chapter Seventy-Four: Befriending
This day was originally the day to make an appointment with the Chinese to see the three houses, but now that I want to buy the White Mansion, I don't need to look at the other places for the time being. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Xiaoshan went to the Chinese early in the morning, brought a knife of meat, two packs of snacks, and said that his family had other plans for the time being, so he didn't look at the house first, and then stuffed him with five taels of silver, which was considered the hardship of this time.
The Chinese have been doing this for a long time, and this situation is often encountered, so they also expressed their understanding, and accepted Xiaoshan's silver and gifts after two rejections.
Xiaoshan didn't say anything about what Baifu was going to sell, just because he was afraid that there would be any accidents.
Who knows that what was supposed to be a nail in the iron plate was still stabbed horizontally.
As soon as Xiaoshan came back from the middleman, he saw Xiaoya wiping tears on the side, and several other people were also a little depressed.
"What's going on?" Xiaoshan asked differently, obviously he was fine when he went out in the morning.
"Woo woo, the house can't be bought." The little girl threw herself into Xiaoshan's arms and cried.
"Just now, the grandmother who sold flowers came, saying that the Bai family steward arrived at the house early in the morning, and she said at that time that we were going to buy a house, but the white steward said that this house has been booked." The black girl said depressedly.
"It's booked, isn't it that there is no deal yet, let's go to Steward Bai first to inquire about the situation and see if there is a chance." Xiaoshan said with a smile.
He was also very depressed in his heart, if he didn't know about the secret room, it would be fine, now that he knew, Bai Fu couldn't give up no matter what.
"Brother, can we still buy that big mansion?" The little girl asked.
"I can't say it's good, it's man-made." Xiaoshan rubbed Xiaoya's hair.
Uncle said on the side, "If you can't buy it, forget it, I think the other three houses are very good, and we can spend less money." ”
"Since we've decided to buy it, let's work harder, if the house really doesn't have a fate with us, forget it." Xiaoshan said with a smile. "Heiya and I went over to find the flower seller, and then see what the white butler meant."
It stands to reason that there are elders in the family, and it should be the most suitable for the uncle and Xiaoshan to go together, but the uncle was reluctant to buy the house, if he really said in front of the white steward that he didn't buy it, Xiaoshan would not be able to say anything else.
So it's better to go with him and Heiya, even if they can't talk, they are just half-grown children, and it's better to let adults come forward.
After making a decision, Heiya naturally had to fully prepare, carefully made a few meat dishes, packed them in porcelain white jars, and changed into the best clothes of the two before going out with Xiaoshan.
They pinched the time, and it was time for lunch, and when the white steward heard that the food sent by the two children was disdainful, thinking that the poor children in this poor county town could have something to eat.
It's not that he looks down on people, but he can deal with the subordinates who guard the house, and he is definitely not a rich family.
Although he is only a small steward of the Bai family, he has also seen the world in Fucheng, and it is not that he has not been to the capital a few years ago, so he didn't pay attention to the food sent by Heiya and Xiaoshan at all, and he didn't plan to taste it.
However, the white steward consciously is a cultivated person, even if he disdains it in his heart, he refuses to show a trace of contempt on the surface.
"I heard that the white steward was coming, so I came here to pay a visit, and I knew that you couldn't look at ordinary things, and these foods were praised by the county princess and his wife, so I specially brought some over." Xiaoshan said politely.
The white steward heard that they still had a friendship with the county lord and his wife, but he looked at it squarely, Xiaoshan was wearing a navy blue robe, his hair was tied tightly with a hairband of the same color, and he was wearing soap-colored boots.
Look at the little girl next to her, although she is a little thinner, she is cute in pink, especially a pair of big black eyes, and her aura is compelling.
Such a brother and sister are not something that can be raised by a poor family.
"Little brother is polite, look at your dress, you should be reading now?" The white butler lowered his posture a little.
"I'm studying in the ink house, and I'm going to take the boys' exam tomorrow in the spring." Xiaoshan replied as he opened the jar, and Heiya took the jar and poured the contents into the plate.
"The white butler tastes it, but it can still be eaten." Heiya arranged the plates neatly one by one and said with a smile.
Naturally, there are not many things that can be held in the small porcelain white glossy jar, each of which only accounts for half of the plate, but just looking at it makes people have a great appetite.
The white steward was indeed hungry, and he couldn't help but swallow quietly when he looked at the tempting food, "Have you eaten, sit down and eat together." ”
"You eat, I'll go get some more vegetables with my mother-in-law." The black girl pursed her lips and smiled, she is a little girl, it is not appropriate to sit on the table, anyway, there is a brother here, she is completely relieved.
The county magistrate and his wife Bai Steward of Pu County know it, and their family background is also the number one that can be ranked in Fucheng, to be honest, any one of these two families may be on par with Bai Fu, so Bai Steward also has some open and secret inquiries about the relationship between Xiaoshan and the two of them.
Who knew that the more he talked, the more surprised he became, he originally thought that the county order couple just appreciated the family's cooking skills, but he didn't expect that the little girl and the county lady were both sisters.
Xiao Shan naturally couldn't tell him a lot, but a lot of words were half hidden and half hidden, and it seemed to be unintentionally leaked out, which would make people more credible.
"Little brother, you came here this time, not just to show how delicious this dish is, although these are indeed very delicious, there are few restaurants in Fucheng that can make meat taste like this." The more they talked, the lighter the white steward's contempt became, and instead he wanted to befriend the two siblings.
Not to mention their relationship with the county order couple, even Xiaoshan's conversation and insight are destined to be something in the pool in the future.
Therefore, the sooner you deepen your relationship now, the easier it will be in the future.
The purpose of their coming was that the housekeeper had just told him about buying a house in the morning, and the two siblings came to the door at noon, and if they said that it didn't matter in the middle, he wouldn't believe it.
So I just jokingly asked directly.
"I knew I couldn't hide it from Big Brother Bai." Xiaoshan also took the opportunity to change his name, "We really like this house too much, so even if we know that it has been booked, we still have the cheekiness to come to the door to see if there is any room for maneuver." ”
"Hey, it's all my brother's mouth is too fast, I thought I could go back early after sending the house early, and I just happened to be on the same road with a friend who had just met for a while and said that he wanted it, and he could accept the price, so we discussed that he would wait for him to see the house tomorrow morning, and if there was no problem, he would sell it."
Xiaoshan also heard the meaning of his words, and promised to sell the house for the time being, but it was only a verbal agreement, and the person only met on the road, and the first acquaintance was not long, and the friendship was naturally not deep, and the meaning of the white steward was that they were not without a chance for this matter.
"I knew you wanted to buy it, I definitely wanted to sell it to you, but I had already promised others, and it was really hard to break my trust with others."
