Chapter 10: Buying a Courtyard House
After returning to the Guxiang Inn, Changsheng took out a check for one thousand and gave it to Liu's mother, Liu's mother worked hard every day, and Ruoruo's fright had not healed, so the two of them had a lot of expenses for eating every day.
And Changsheng and I were able to meet this mother and daughter is also a fate, so of course I can help a little more.
"Auntie is rich, and your child doesn't have any serious job, what money do you give me?" Mother Liu glared at Changsheng angrily, she was ten thousand thanks to my little broken road in her heart, and saved her life. "So much money, my aunt can't ask for it, and besides, I haven't had time to thank you for saving your life......"
Liu's mother has worked hard all her life, and her mind is full of habits of diligence, thrift, simplicity and kindness, and she is resolutely not to accept money for longevity.
"Auntie, I'm rich, I'm really rich now, and I've found a job, you can take it......" Changsheng didn't care about asking Mother Liu to accept the money, Mother Liu saw that Chang was more resolute than herself, and she couldn't resist him, so she said: "Okay, this money will be put here for the time being, and I should help you save it, and if you marry a daughter-in-law in the future, Aunt will take it out......"
"Uh, okay......" Auntie's chic reason made Changsheng cry and laugh, seeing that Liu's mother was peeling peas, he casually moved a small bench to sit next to Aunt Auntie to help her peel peas, and asked casually: "By the way, Auntie, I want to buy a house, do you think there is a suitable one?" ”
At present, Changsheng and I are also small local tyrants, we also have jobs, and we are also tall little directors, so we are also ready to find a good place to live, and I can't forget the ten courtyards with pavilions and pavilions at the beginning.
Seeing that Changsheng suddenly said that he wanted to buy a house, Liu's mother was surprised, "You kid, how good is it for everyone to live together?" In the future, my aunt won't charge you rent, why are you in a hurry, it's not too late to move out when you get married......"
"Listening to this Liu's mother's tone, she intends to recruit my parents as her son-in-law, hehe...... It seems that I was very correct in mentioning that I would move out. I thought to myself.
"If you want to say that the house really exists, I heard someone mention a few days ago that there is a courtyard house in the old city, and it is on the edge of the old imperial city, I heard that the family is going to move to the United States, and is ready to sell this courtyard at a low price......" Mother Liu saw Changsheng's assertive look, and then said: "But it's a big quadrangle, you live alone, right?" In addition, there are a lot of people living in it, all of whom have lived in old households for twenty or thirty years, so it's not easy to get rid of them! ”
Although the property rights of the house are private, those people who have lived in it for twenty or thirty years, and even live in old neighborhoods all their lives, have regarded the house as their home. If you want to drive those old residents away, it is simply difficult to climb to the sky, who puts a house with a few silver dollars a month and does not live outside and then rent a house?
Mother Liu has lived here all her life and has seen many such disputes, but she is very clear about the doorway here.
After explaining some of the troubles to Changsheng, Mother Liu continued: "The price of the owner is not low, it costs 20,000 yuan, I said...... You better continue to live here, it's not too big for seven or eight more people to live in this courtyard, and you can still get married when the time comes......"
Mother Liu continued to talk about marriage, it seems that she really likes Changsheng, but my little broken road is still very tender, but she will not marry early and get pregnant.
"20,000, we can buy it, Xiao Podao, in the afternoon, you let Mother Liu take us to see it, and buy it when it is suitable, we are not short of money......" I am proud of Changshengdao, and the consciousness of my previous life also makes me have a soft spot for the courtyard, this is the courtyard.
The imperial roots of the old city used to be the dragon vein of Jinling, but the dynasty has long since collapsed, but the relics left by its prosperity are still there, and the dilapidated courtyard seems to tell its past glory.
I can still accept this price, and I have my own intentions in buying this big house. As the place where the emperor once lived, the imperial city is a big dragon vein that runs through Jinling, although there are slight flaws in the feng shui of some subtle buildings, but it is a rare feng shui treasure. You can set up a formation in this courtyard to communicate with the remaining dragon qi to nourish yourself, and the realm of the black body and powerful ghosts is just around the corner.
So I won't let go of such a good opportunity, and I have to talk to Changsheng well.
"Stinky boy, do you really want to buy it? That's 20,000 yuan, you couldn't pay the rent before, why did you suddenly have so much money, this money is enough to eat for a lifetime, why do you buy such a broken yard, you listen to the aunt's ......" Mother Liu greatly did not understand Changsheng's decision, and has been trying to dispel Changsheng's idea of buying a house. And the owner of this courtyard, Lao Niutou, can't wait to sell the courtyard as much as possible, anyway, he can't get rid of those who live in vain, and it's also a blockage to see it on weekdays.
"Xiao Podao, you won't suffer a loss if you buy it, you don't know the price of this quadrangle in a hundred years...... Tsk, buy it for 20,000 now, maybe it can be sold for 80 million in the future......" I saw that Changsheng was a little hesitant, so I cheered him up.
Changsheng laughed when he heard this, he himself would have turned into loess in a hundred years, not everyone would have lived as long as Master Yingzi.
But I'm confident that as long as I want to buy this yard, Changsheng will definitely agree.
"But then again, my aunt told you that you can only use half of the house if you buy it, and those old residents won't move out......"
Hearing Mother Liu's repeated bombardment, Changsheng smiled shyly and said disapprerovingly: "Auntie, I'll reason with them, they will move away......"
You must know that the people who don't want to leave are basically old Jinling people, and they are no worse than the hob meat in the kiln.
……
In this kind of mixed old courtyard, the gate has long been used as a decoration, and there is no need to knock on the door at all, so Mother Liu took Changsheng through the door and walked in directly.
"Hey, Lao Liu, I haven't seen you for a while......"
"Aunt Liu, what about the door? Have you eaten lunch? ”
"Sister Liu, what are you busy with during this time? Ruoruo's illness is like ......"
To say that Liu's mother's popularity is really good, after entering the courtyard, the sound of greeting is endless, just looking at the enthusiasm of these people, no one can imagine that they are those old residents who rely on not leaving.
In fact, these people are the same as ordinary people, they lived here in a special era, firstly, they had feelings, and secondly, after decades of war, everyone gathered together to overcome the difficulties, so now it has become a historical problem.
In addition, there are some people who have the psychology of taking advantage. These people don't have money or houses, but when they see that others don't move, they don't want to move, there are such people in this courtyard, the husband and wife are both working in foreign banks, and there are houses outside, but they don't move away here.
The old cow is not tall, his hair is all white, but his waist is very straight, he does not dodge when he looks at people with a pair of eyes, and he has a powerful body with bones, and he can see that he was also a powerful person before. In fact, Lao Niutou was also very reluctant to this courtyard, but when his son returned to China last year, he had a fight with those residents outside because of the property rights of the house, and he returned to the United States with several stitches on his head.
As a result, Lao Niutou couldn't get along with those people outside, so he listened to his son's words and prepared to sell his house and go to the United States.
I've been quietly observing since I entered the front yard, and when I saw it, my heart suddenly blossomed, and this house was simply amazing. This large courtyard is located in the northeast of the root of the imperial city, and the northeast Gen is called the "Ghost Gate" in Feng Shui, which is an extremely unlucky position, but in Feng Shui magic, this direction is called "Shengmen". There are also those called "Guimen" and "Guimen", which are generally called "valves" in the mouth of Mr. Feng Shui.
Vitality, heroism, anger, spirit, madness, etc. are all forms of qi, and the Northeast Gen position happens to be the alternating direction of yin and yang, symbolizing the secretive, turbulent and unpredictable, which is also the origin of the name "ghost gate".
In such a place, as long as my parents and students use a little means, they don't need to lose their vitality, and they can turn it into a gloomy haunted house, which can save a lot of effort, and it will become a haunted house.
On the contrary, after driving those "old guys" away, and then using some of the secret art formations inherited by the master, you can also use the characteristics of the alternation of yin and yang here to transform it into a feng shui treasure.
Thinking of the benefits of living here in the future, I can't wait to buy the house now, seeing my excitement, there is no bargaining, Changsheng said directly to the old bull head: "You see when you are free, let's go through the formalities......"
"I'll be free now, but eldest nephew, you bought this house, don't regret it, say that your old Uncle Niu cheated you?" The old bull head also wanted to throw away this hot potato for a long time, but he just looked at Mother Liu's face, and still reminded him of immortality.
"Don't worry, we are Zhou Yu beating Huang Gai, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer!" I smiled and whispered to Changsheng when I heard this, my heart was already happy at this moment, and after this courtyard was renovated, its feng shui was even better than that of the Changxian Taoist Temple.
