Chapter 229: Buying a manor and being cheated of money
After sending Zhu Di away, Xiao Yiran lay on the bed, thinking about what happened that day. Today's day can be described as a big ups and downs. was first wantonly insulted by the four of them, and when they were cornered, they happened to be rescued by Zhu Di. The next scene was a happy atmosphere for the guests and hosts.
Although when he saw Zhu Di away, he saw a hint of other implications in the other party's eyes, Xiao Yiran did not take it to heart. Before figuring out his origins, Xiao Yiran didn't plan to fall into emotional entanglements again, especially after experiencing the Northern Song Dynasty and Lin Chen, as well as Zhao Heng and others. In addition, since he first met Poplar in the City God Temple, Xiao Yiran has never forgotten Poplar's obsessive and familiar eyes, as well as the feeling that makes his heart ache.
"Topol, who the hell are you?"
Whenever he thinks of Baiyang, Xiao Yiran will ask himself in his heart.
Putting aside the distracting thoughts in his mind, Xiao Yiran began to practice the soul refining technique, and finally followed the mantra taught by Xu Ying's sister in the Kongtong Mountain Cave Mansion, running an increasingly obvious heat flow in the meridians before falling asleep.
When I opened my eyes again, it was already the third pole of the sun, and I calculated in my heart that today should be the day for Sun Xiang to reply to the letter. After getting up and dressing up, he came to the living room and waited for Sun Xiang's arrival. After yesterday's "mixed up" incident, Xiao Yiran couldn't wait to get out of this painting boat and hide in Zhuangzi for a quiet time.
It was almost noon, and Sun Xiang arrived as scheduled.
"Miss, fortunately, I am not dishonored."
Entering the door, Sun Xiang said to Xiao Yiran.
"Brother Sun's eldest brother has worked hard."
Xiao Yiran heard Sun Xiang say this, knowing that things should be about the same, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.
"Miss, that's right. That piece of land is really a terra nullius, I first found Lizheng, and then found Jiangning County, to which Sun Jiatuan belongs. The matter is basically done, just wait for the young lady to sign the paperwork and pay the money. ”
"I don't know if I should go to Song Jiatuan to handle it, or please Li Zheng to come here?"
"Let's go to Song Jiatuan, and go to the plot selected by Miss to go through the formalities, so that Miss can feel at ease."
Listening to what Sun Xiang said, Xiao Yiran nodded and agreed.
"Have you made an appointment with Rizheng?"
"Li Zheng only looks at the time of the young lady, as long as the young lady is free, she can sign and write the paperwork whenever she goes."
"Without further ado, the eldest brother of the Sun family has had lunch here, let's go in the afternoon."
Xiao Yiran didn't expect things to go so smoothly, so he happily left Sun Xiang to have lunch in the painting boat, hired two carriages, one for Xiao Yiran and Qingwen Musk Yue, and one for Sun Xiang alone, took the silver taels, and went straight to Song's house.
When he arrived at Song Jiatuan and found Li Zheng's home, Sun Xiang led Xiao Yiran and the three of them to the room. Seeing that there were three people in the room, after Sun Xiang's introduction, Xiao Yiran greeted the three of them one by one. One of them, with a goatee, heard Sun Xiang say that he was Lizheng Liu Wen, Xiao Yiran thanked Liu Wen and said:
"Little girl, thank you for helping."
"Miss is not polite, this is all my business."
The next thing is the same as what Sun Xiang said in the painting boat, first signed the document to buy the land, Xiao Yiran and Li Zheng both signed and drew the post, and Sun Xiang, as the middleman, also drew the charge. From beginning to end, the two people who accompanied Li Zheng Liu Wen rarely spoke. Sun Xiang just said that the two were neighbors of Song Jiatuan, and they came here today just to testify.
After the qiē is done, it is to go to the county government to pay the silver and get the land deed.
"Is the young lady waiting here, or is she going to the county office together?"
Xiao Yiran pondered for a while, it stands to reason that it is good to go to the county government in person, but she is a girl, and it is not suitable for her to show up in that kind of place, just when Xiao Yiran hesitated, Li Zheng said:
"Brother Sun, in such weather, why do you want a noble person like Miss to run around? It's still hard for the brothers of the Sun family to go on a trip, and I'll wait here with the young lady. Is the young lady still afraid that you will run away with the silver? ”
Hearing what Li Zheng Liu Wen said, Xiao Yiran just wanted to go to the county government in person, and it was not good to speak again at this time. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a disbelief in Sun Xiang?
According to the number of the plot in the document, it is sixty-three acres, the price per mu is four taels of silver, the silver for buying the land is more than two hundred and seventy-five two six dollars, plus one percent of the tax silver, two or two seven dollars, and even half of Sun Xiang's commission of one or two four dollars, a total of more than two hundred and seventy-eight taels, Xiao Yiran directly handed over two hundred and eighty taels to Sun Xiang.
"Brother Sun, if you have extra money, you can buy some wine and food by the way, and invite Uncle Lizheng to have some wine with the two neighbors to warm up."
Because the Ming Dynasty had just been founded, a lot of policies benefiting the people were adopted, and the prices at that time were extremely stable, and two taels of silver were enough to eat a good banquet in the big restaurant. Sun Xiang took the silver taels handed by Xiao Yiran and left happily.
Sun Xiang didn't delay for long, and in less than an hour, he hurried back, handed the title deed to Xiao Yiran, and said solemnly to Xiao Yiran:
"Miss, fortunately, it's all done."
Of course, Sun Xiang also bought a lot of wine and food, Li Zheng and Sun Xiang both tried their best to persuade Xiao Yiran's master and servant to stay and eat together, Xiao Yiran still declined, said goodbye to the four of them, took Qingwen Musk Yue, held the land deed, and happily returned to Sun Moon Fang. After reading the title deed several times, I carefully collected it, and planned to wait for the spring of the next year to ask someone to start the construction and restore it to the appearance in my memory. After the Zhuangzi was built, he sold the Sun and Moon Boat and no longer made a living from this painting boat.
"Qingwen, go to the kitchen to arrange some wine and food, please come up to Mama Wang, thank Mama Wang today."
The wine and food are easy to handle, and it will be done properly after a while, and Wang Ma was also invited by Musk Yue.
"Miss, the old body is not an outsider, why be so polite."
"This time, thanks to Mama Wang's nephew, I should thank Mama Wang."
During the banquet, Wang's mother asked about what happened, and when she heard Xiao Yiran say that she did not go to the county government to pay the money in person, her heart moved. Immediately asked:
"Miss, does it seem a little inappropriate?"
"What's wrong?"
"For major matters of buying and selling land, it is generally necessary to go to the county government to pay the silver. Why didn't Miss go? ”
Xiao Yiran didn't think much about it at first, but carefully described the scene after arriving at Lizheng's house.
"Miss, it's not good. I'm afraid I was deceived by my unsuccessful nephew. ”
"What?!"
"I once heard people say that when writing documents, there must be someone from the county, together with Lizheng and the local security, to personally go to the ground to measure the correctness before handling the next matters. In addition, the title deed is generally obtained by the county government in person. I'm afraid that things are not appropriate, so it's better to go to the county office to inquire. ”
Listening to what Wang Ma said, Xiao Yiran felt that something was a little strange. yes, why didn't you go to the ground and measure it? I didn't sleep well all night, and the next day I went to the Jiangning County Ya to ask, and sure enough, the county government said that no one had come to buy land yesterday, let alone any land deeds.
