Chapter Ninety-Six: Buying a Home
After the Gu brothers and sisters left, Linglong's face immediately turned cold, and she didn't even look at Jin Zifeng, and turned around and left with the two maids.
"Sister Long, stay." Jin Zifeng shouted behind her.
Linglong paused, but did not look back, at this moment, listening to the maid of the Wind Pavilion sweeping the snow and coming over: "Fifth Miss, Bai Lu from your house is here, saying that the second master of Dongfu is here, and the fourth lady asked him to ask for a screen." Please hurry back to the air. ”
When Linglong heard this, she turned around and looked at Jin Zi Fufu: "Third brother, the second brother is here to get a screen for the fourth sister, I want to go back soon, and I will come to see the third brother another day." ”
Jin Zifeng originally wanted to touch her thoughts, but now that the second brother Jin Zihuan is here, and he is taking Linlang's objects, it is inconvenient for him to ask more, nor is it convenient to go back with Linglong, so he has to laugh dryly: "Then you tell the second brother, I will go to Dongfu to ask my uncle and aunt for peace in the past two days, and then I will have a small gathering with him." ”
Linglong came out of the Tingfeng Pavilion and saw that Bai Lu was really waiting outside, and the master and servant hurried back to the small cross courtyard, but Jin Zihuan was not in the house, but was standing in the courtyard looking at the petals that Linglong was drying in.
"Fifth sister, you really have leisure and leisure, and you can fiddle with these when you have time."
Linglong said with a smile: "There are the most flowers and plants in summer, pick some to dry, and make tea is the best, is it good to use it for the second brother last time?" ”
"Of course, I tasted it for my mother, and she thought it was good, and she praised you."
Jin Zihuan walked down the corridor as he spoke, Linglong asked the maid to move out the two embroidered piers, and made a pot of jasmine, and then asked, "Second brother, do you have good news?" ”
Jin Zihuan smiled and said, "You girl, I'm afraid you remember this all day long." I didn't bother to think about it, I went back that day, called the steward over and said that he wanted to buy a house, and he said that there was a place in the east of the city, which was originally given to Mr. Xi Xigao by Yan Guoxian, the general of Zhenguo, and now this Xixi returned to his hometown, and returned the house, and the house was sent out and returned, and Yan Guoxian simply sold it. “
I heard that this house is in the east of the city, Linglong muttered a little, how much silver does it cost, the east of the city lives in the emperor's relatives and wealthy families, and the house prices there are one or two percent more expensive than the west of the city where the West Mansion is located.
But I heard Jin Zihuan say again: "It's just that this house was given to Mr. Gao, although it is the east of the city, it is not a prosperous place, Mr. Gao is a scholar, and the house that Yan Guoxian gave him is also a secluded place, he just wants to sell the house casually, and he does not rely on this house to make money, it just so happens that the second brother and his house also have some business, and when he saw this rare opportunity, he bought it for you." ”
Hearing that the house was bought, Linglong breathed a sigh of relief: "Is the silver ticket I gave to the second brother enough?" The second brother didn't advance money for me, right? ”
Jin Zihuan said: "How can this house be sent out and returned, no matter how short of money Yan Guoxian is, he is embarrassed to make money with this, the price is not high, and it is sold to acquaintances, so it is lowered by one percent." It's just that what you gave me is just enough, and it's not enough to buy more furniture, but I've been to see that house, and it's all in it, but it's a little older. ”
Linglong knew in her heart that if General Zhenguo was willing to lower Yicheng again, it must be Jin Zihuan who gave him profits in his business.
"Second brother, I still have some money left in my hand, you don't need to help me lower the price"
"Little girl, the business of the second brother and the Zhenguo General's Mansion is not a day or two, and you can always earn the silver back on their heads, don't worry about it, this is the house deed, you go and see it another day, by the way, I found you a manpower, if you want to do a small business, you can use her, it is very reliable, it is my mother's companion, and it is a woman, it is convenient for you to use it."
Linglong was taken aback, the eldest aunt was doing business outside, and the people around her were both men and women, but she didn't expect the second brother to be so thoughtful, and lent a woman from the eldest aunt to use for her.
"I don't know what to do, let her come, won't she be hungry and unhappy"
Jin Zihuan smiled again, this fifth sister is really a child, it's funny.
"No, she still takes care of the shop, just take the time to help you, you make money and give her a bonus, if you don't make money, it doesn't matter, I told her yesterday, she happily agreed, both horizontal and vertical are more earnings, how can you not be happy."
Linglong has never done business, and she doesn't understand it, so she wants to find someone to help her take care of it, she just collects the cashier, and when she heard Jin Zihuan say this, she blushed a little, she really didn't understand anything.
She has something in her hand, and when she grows up, she will be better and have more things, and she has a line with Bai Yuanwai, and it is not difficult to get silver, as long as she is bold and careful.
In her previous life, what she did was a risk for others, but it was her job
It's just that she is no longer alone in this life, she has a mother and a few loyal maids, so she wants to live and work in peace and contentment, do some small business, and make more money steadily.
The screen for Linlang has not yet been tightened, Jin Zihuan asked him to take it and go to find someone to tie it, and said: "I'm going to leave soon, if the old lady and the third uncle come back, I still have to go to ask for peace, and then they will ask me about my homework again, more than one thing is better than less." I will let the man come to you tomorrow, and you will only command her whatever you want. ”
Linglong has always known that although this second brother has the fame of Xiucai and a teacher like Su Dongcheng, he is really not a person who likes to read, let alone has no intention of taking the imperial examination, and he has talent in business.
She smiled and said, "Then the second brother let's go, I won't leave you behind, and I'll start embroidering your screen today." ”
When Jin Zihuan left, Linglong returned to the house, took out the deed and carefully put it away, she really bought the house.
If there is a day when she and her mother have no tiles to cover their heads in this house, there is such a place to stay.
This house is just a rainy day, and as long as there is a little hope, she will not give up.
This is her home, but also her mother and brother's, as long as her mother can wait, she will definitely be able to, but she is still young now, and there is not much she can do, but it doesn't matter, she still has time, take her time, take your time, and take back what you owe to your mother and brother, I will take it back little by little.
When Linglong went to Chunhui Hall to ask for peace, she saw two third-class maids, Qingxing and Lu Ping were talking to someone at the door, and the person was Aunt Zhao from the back.
Seeing Linglong, Aunt Zhao hurriedly saluted, and Linglong asked, "Why don't you go in when you come?" ”
I listened to Qingxing said: "It's just right that the fifth lady is here, the old lady is a little tired of listening to the drama today, let me say hello tomorrow, and go back today." ”
Linglong took the maid and walked back, but saw Aunt Zhao followed by a little girl in her teens, so she asked casually: "I remember that Aunt Zhao has a very handsome girl next to her, just what sleeves, why didn't you follow today?" ”
