Chapter 11 Three Less
Gao watched Feng leave in displeasure, and scolded her half to death in his heart. She has been with Feng's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law for many years, and she still doesn't know how careful she is!
Liu Congzhi, the young third steward of the Liu family's fangya, bowed to the Gao family humbly, "Third old lady, these two are the customers who want to buy your shop this time, the third young man of the An family in Qing'an County, Huaizhou Prefecture, and his servant Huo Da Steward. ”
"Steward Huo feels that the price you offered is really high. So I want to ask you, is there any room for maneuver at this price? An Sanshao and Steward Huo also sincerely wanted to buy your shop, and they had just come all the way from Huaizhou Mansion to transport leather goods to Hong'an Mansion for resale. As soon as I entered the city and got the news that your two shops were going to be resold, I asked them to come to your door and negotiate with you. You see? The price ......"
Gao Shi set his eyes on the pair of master and servant, and when he saw the handsome young man of the buyer's family who was fifteen or sixteen years old, with red lips and white teeth, he was quite happy in his heart: Hello young man! Young people are so confused.
"This price is naturally negotiable. It's just that An Sangongzi looks quite young......" she put on the most kind and kind smile and asked the handsome young man, "Dare to ask how old you are?" You know, my two shops on Xiheng Street are worth a lot of silver. I don't know, little boy, have you been the master? ”
An Sanshao replied with an innocent smile: "The kid is seventeen years old this year, although he is not very old, but at home, he is a master of the law." You don't have to worry, old lady. ”
"It's only seventeen. is in charge of the house at such a young age, An San Gongzi is really a young man! The two unsuccessful grandchildren in my family are similar in age to your little son, but they only know how to play around. ”
"The old lady praised it falsely." The young man Junjie An Sanshao blushed very shyly, lowered his head and whispered: "The kid is dull, he can't study." My parents only had one child, and there was no one to take care of the family's huge property. My parents couldn't, and they were afraid that I would lose all my family property in the future, so they sent Uncle Huo to take me out to do business and gain a long experience. I'm not afraid of you laughing, this is the first time I've gone out......"
Uncle Huo, the old housekeeper who looked to be over half a hundred, heard this, and spoke out disapprovingly to prevent An Sanshao from continuing to expose his shortcomings, "Third Young Master! Please be careful! ”
An Sanshao was interrupted by Uncle Huo, and bowed his head in frustration and said "um". He half-lowered his head and pursed his mouth, and secretly glared at Uncle Huo with disgust.
Since he lowered his head just right, his face was facing Gao's. As a result, An Sanshao's interactions with Steward Huo were all taken into the eyes of the Gao family. She lowered her eyes and took out a gold-rimmed silk handkerchief embroidered with orchids from her sleeve pocket, and posed to wipe the tea stains on the corners of her mouth, in fact, she was covering the upward arc that the corners of her lips could no longer hide.
The Gao family was full of joy at this time: what an immature son and an old steward who bullied the slave! If you grasp it well, you will first speak out and sow discord between the two, so that the little boy will no longer listen to the persuasion of the old steward. Then, it is not impossible to coax the little boy to go according to her wishes.
"An San Gongzi ......" Gao said with a kind smile: "This Huo steward next to you is a 'capable person' who covers everything at a glance. With him by your side, you don't know how much trouble you will have to spare! Look at this Huo steward like this, presumably in your home, it is also very relied on by the Zun Ling Hall. ”
When An Sanshao heard this, he immediately put on an angry childish face, and snorted loudly: "Hmph! But a verbose old man! I don't know why you, old lady, and your father and mother value him? ”
"Young Master!" Steward Huo was really angered by An Sanshao, "The old man has also stayed in An's house for more than 20 years, and followed the old lady to the north and south, not to mention being well-informed, at least he has experienced a lot of world affairs and accumulated experience." ”
"When you talk like this, you don't want to think about how much you have suffered this trip because you are young and ignorant, stubborn, and do not listen to my advice......
Gao's eyes lit up as he looked at An Sanshao so angrily that he jumped to his feet, and regardless of being a guest at someone else's house, he pointed at Steward Huo's solemn face on the spot, and shouted: "Young master, I just bought a few pieces of cloth by mistake and folded eighteen thousand pieces of broken silver, and it is worth talking about like this!" The An family has silver to spend on this young master, what kind of leisure do you have? If you don't like it, just leave on your own. Young master, I don't need you to be crooked on the sidelines, which will hurt my mood. ”
"You!" Steward Huo was embarrassed by An Sanshao like this, and he was also angry, "Hmph! Let's go! I want to see, without me, how can you show your strength, Third Young Master? Today's events, I will tell the old lady the truth. ”
"I say goodbye under the next! Hum! Sure enough, the world is right, the most ignorant and rude yellow-mouthed child! After speaking, Steward Huo brushed his sleeves away.
Gao Shi watched the pair of master and servant quickly turn their faces and collapse, and they were overjoyed: she hadn't played much yet, and they broke up!
It seems that on the way from Huaizhou Mansion to Hong'an Mansion, this pair of masters and servants with a large age difference and different temperaments and temperaments have no less suspicions.
Looking at Steward Huo's hatred of iron and steel before leaving, he knew that he couldn't bear this An Sanshao.
Now, as soon as the old man who looked very shrewd left, there was only an innocent boy and a newcomer Liu San, who had just entered the industry, these two people were inexperienced, and she didn't do what she wanted.
I can't say, this time I can really pawn a large amount of silver, and I can sign a living deed again!
Thinking of this, she asked Liu Congzhi in embarrassment: "Three stewards, you see, right now...... Shall we continue, or shall we ......?"
An San rarely saw that Gao avoided him, the buyer, to ask Fang Yazi, and was quite unhappy in his heart, and he also unabashedly brought this love on his face, and without waiting for Liu Congzhi to reply, he said: "Old lady! I am the one who wants to buy the shop, if you have any questions, you will ask me, why do you ask the three stewards? Shouldn't this pawn shop be a transaction between a buyer and a seller? The third steward came to him, but he was just a witness, collecting the deed fee, and issuing a deed. He can't call the shots, what do you want him to do? ”
After hearing this, Gao almost couldn't help laughing: This An Sanshao is really an elm stick vertebrae! Obviously half-understood, but still self-righteous. He talks like this, don't offend Liu Congzhi!
In the future, when he bought a shop and transferred the deed, he still didn't know how he would be embarrassed? It must be known that the old man Liu, the head of the Commercial Tax Institute in the Yamen, is the grandfather of Liu San's steward! It is said that the old man is very fond of Liu Congzhi, who is close to his own grandchildren at this age.
But what does all this have to do with her? All she had to do was take the money.
Seeing that Liu Congzhi's face was ugly, Gao said to An Sanshao: "An San Gongzi, you can't say this." Listening to what you just said, it seems that you still know very little about the real estate transactions of my Dajing. If we want to buy and sell shops, it will never be possible to go to the local Yamen Commercial Tax Institute to go through the formalities and issue the deed without the steward of the Fangya Office. ”
Seeing An Sanshao listening, Gao Shi showed a sudden realization, apologized to Liu Congzhi with a red face and awkwardly, and looked at her with gratitude and admiration after apologizing, thanking her one by one, and his heart was also very happy: This An Sanshao is so easy to bluff, let her handle it, sure enough, he is young, and he is easy to deal with. Compared to Cen Erniang's enlightened little fox......
Gao Shi thought of Cen Erniang, she had a headache and chest tightness, she shook her head slightly, wanting to throw Cen Erniang out of her mind, and concentrate on dealing with An Sanshao and Liu Congzhi.
In the end, under the witness of Liu Congzhi, Gao and An Sanshao reached an agreement: she would give him the two prosperous shops on Xiheng Street for a period of five years.
An Sanshao happily paid Gao's 30,000 taels of silver, and also took the initiative to bear the deed fee that should have been paid by Gao's and Liu's Fangya. He was given nearly 10,000 taels of silver by Gao's dangling, and he didn't know anything. I only feel that the amiable elder of the Gao family is really knowledgeable and kind-hearted, and he really deserves to be the Cen family of the scholarly family! not only pawned the shop to him at a "low price", but also taught him a lot of knowledge.
