Chapter 11 Forced Sale
The royal mansion is only two alleys away from this tooth shop, and a cup of tea is there. Because the house was sold directly to the tooth shop, Zhang Gui took the key with him when he went out, and he went to open the door first when he got out of the car.
Jiang Qing got out of the carriage and looked up at the door of the house, the plaque had been taken off, showing that the ownerless house had white walls and black tiles very distinct, and a lush canopy could be seen over the courtyard wall, which was being revitalized. He glanced at it, and then followed Zhang Gui into the gate. Bypassing the shadow wall painted with magpies climbing the branches, I entered the weeping flower gate in the front yard where a row of hosta flowers was planted, and then arrived at the courtyard of the inner house. Zhang Gui led them all the way in, and couldn't wait to introduce them at this moment: "Look, Gongzi Jiang, this courtyard is a serious three-entry house, and it is built very neatly. Look at the view, how elaborately furnished. As he spoke, he led Jiang Qingliu to walk a few steps along the west verandah, pointed to the small pond under the porch and said, "Look, this lotus flower looks quite energetic, and a few more fish will be put in it then, but it is worth watching." He also pointed to a leafy pomegranate tree by the wall of the east wing: "This pomegranate tree has been around for some years, and when it comes to the month, it bears a lot and a lot of fruit, but it is gratifying, and ordinary people rarely have such varieties." Then he didn't stop, took Jiang Qingliu and his party to the door of the west wing, pushed open the door, and saw that the layout inside was open, with a living room in the middle, a study in the north, and a bedroom in the south. The former owner of the house seems to have left a lot of furniture down, and there is a big red sour branch bookcase in the study, a bookcase standing against the wall, and a low couch by the window, which is all available. Zhang Gui beckoned them to come in and take a look, praised the room for being spacious and bright, pointed to the furniture that was still a little new, and praised it, and only after a while did he leave the room under the urging of Qin Ziming.
After walking a few steps along the verandah, we arrived at the entrance of the main house. The two Xifu begonias planted in front of the main house are in the flowering period, high and zhangxu, the tree is steep, the flowers are delicate and moving, both fragrant and gorgeous, like rouge dots, bright like bright sunshine, occasionally the breeze blows, with a little bit of pink petals, scattered and flying, the posture is fluttering. Everyone was attracted by its graceful demeanor for a while, and they were all a little intoxicated. After a while, Min Chong coughed and woke everyone up, Jiang Qingliu praised softly: "'The quiet posture makes the spring clear, the plum borrows the wind and willows, and the fragrance of the night rain is still there, and the rouge can't be painted' Today can be regarded as truly seeing the beautiful scenery depicted in the poem." ”
Zhang Gui couldn't understand the poem, so he had to agree dryly: "Yes, if the son moves in, you can enjoy this beautiful scenery!" So saying, he turned around and pushed open the square door, and led the people in. For some reason, the layout of this main room is similar to the front wing, but the furniture is much less, the middle hall is empty, and the bed in the inner bedroom is missing. Zhang Gui was slightly embarrassed, but fortunately he remembered something, pointed to the east side of the room and said, "Childe, you see, the design of this study compartment is also very novel. As he spoke, he reached for the door of the study. I saw that he pushed open the two screen doors painted with bamboo chrysanthemums from the middle to the left and right, and saw that this extremely spacious compartment was different from the traditional study design, but against the wall a one-foot-high yellow rosewood wooden collapse, and on the couch there was a multi-treasure pavilion and a double row of bookshelves side by side against the wall. On the north and south sides, only a foot high from the collapse, there is a large square pear wood window, which makes the compartment very bright and transparent. There is also a curtain of green silk curtains hanging by the window, which is dancing lightly in the wind.
Qin Ziming couldn't help but praise: "Son, if you put a coffee table on it and put a cushion, you can drink tea here on a rainy day and enjoy the begonias, it is indeed very leisurely!" ”
Jiang Qingliu bowed his head slightly, but his expression was still faint.
Wang Jin couldn't help but be a little anxious when he looked at him, if he really didn't like it, then he had no choice but to implement the second plan, buy and sell!
Seeing that her expression was a little worried, Zhang Gui couldn't help but get nervous in his heart, and said to Jiang Qingliu courteously: "Son, there is also a small piece of bamboo planted in this yard, I will take you to see it!" Jiang Qingliu was noncommittal and went out with him.
It turned out that the place of this west cross courtyard was not big, but it really planted a piece of Xiangfei bamboo, which was verdant and lush, and continued to the backyard. Zhang Gui led them to see the bamboo scenery, and then walked along the cobblestone path in the bamboo forest towards the backyard. Jiang Qingliu noticed that there was a stone table in the dense bamboo forest, with a few stone benches, and he couldn't help but have a little interest in his eyes.
When I arrived in the backyard, the scenery changed again, and it was natural and simple without the humor and elegance in front of it. It turned out that there was only one extremely tall and lush camphor tree in the west of this backyard, and the others were actually dug neatly on the ridges to grow vegetables, and a well was drilled in the middle place, Jiang Qingliu couldn't help but look at Wang Jian slightly sideways, with a hint of a knowing smile in his eyes.
Zhang Gui saw everyone's slightly surprised expressions, and hurriedly said: "This yard can be regarded as big, the son lives in regardless of whether he plants flowers or grass, he can change it no matter how he changes, there is also a well, and it is very convenient to use water." Then he took them into the main house in the backyard to take a look, it was still the same layout, the furniture was quite complete, and there was a carved shelf bed in the bedroom. The two transepts on the side of the main house are used as kitchenettes, baths and warehouses respectively, which are very convenient.
Looking at it all the way like this, even if the visit to this courtyard is basically over, but Jiang Qingliu still has a light expression, so people can't guess what he is planning to do. Zhang Gui couldn't help but ask worriedly: "Childe, no matter the size, scenery, or location of this courtyard, it is the best choice, you must not miss it." ”
Qin Ziming on the side was about to speak, but when he caught a glimpse of Jiang Qingliu's faint look, he quickly closed his mouth and didn't dare to come out. Jiang Qingliu put his hands behind his back, looked around casually, and finally fixed his gaze on Wang Jin's face. In fact, he had observed her many times along the way, but he didn't find any obvious flaws, only when he visited the cubicle in the main house, he clearly saw a trace of gloom in her eyes, and now he could confirm that this was the courtyard that Wang Jin's family had sold before, but why did she take such pains to let herself rent it?
When he looked at Wang Jin, his eyes unconsciously carried some oppression and questioning, and Wang Jian quickly felt it. She was shocked, she didn't understand why he looked at her like this, she thought about it for a while, and didn't feel where she was exposed, so she also turned her heart sideways, not to be outdone, and stared back. Hmph, even if you find out, you still owe this girl a life, and it's cheaper for you to just buy a house!
Jiang Qingliu was a little stunned when he saw her react like this, could it be that he was wrong? Looking at her eyes again, although they are horizontal, they reveal some meaning of being strong on the outside and doing on the inside, and I can't help but laugh in my heart. He didn't mind renting the house, but he never liked the feeling of confusion, and he was more concerned about being calculated, so he didn't intend to do Wang Hibiscus's wish so easily, even if she had something unspeakable, she shouldn't have designed it for him like this.
It's just that before he opened his mouth, Wang Jian said: "What is Jiang Gongzi's dissatisfaction with this house?" ”
"Well, I can't say I'm not satisfied." Jiang Qingliu was a little aggressive in her tone, a little unprepared, and blurted out.
"Is that satisfaction?" Wang Jin made persistent efforts.
"Well, I'm satisfied." Jiang Qingliu was startled by the suddenly approaching face, and he didn't know what he answered.
"Well, I also think it's good, there are bamboo, pomegranates, and begonias, why don't you buy it? Anyway, renting also costs money, and buying also costs money, Jiang Gongzi, are you right? Wang Jin continued to seduce.
"You can buy it, you can also buy it..." Jiang Qingliu was forced to take a step back, looking at the pair of big dark and smart eyes in front of him, his face turned a little red.
"You heard it, Jiang Gongzi said that he wanted to buy the house, and you can sell it?" Wang Jin turned his head and asked Zhang Gui, who was already sluggish.
Zhang Gui reacted at this time, and hurriedly said: "Sell, sell, our tooth shop has all the paperwork, as long as the son pays the money and signs a deed." ”
Wang Jin raised his eyebrows at Jiang Qingliu and smiled: "Jiang Gongzi can bring enough silver taels on him, and he can't buy such a big house without three or four hundred taels." ”
"Enough, enough..."Jiang Qingliu didn't dare to look at the playful and vivid expression on her face anymore, tilted his head slightly, and said in a low voice.
"Alright, let's go back to the formalities. Jiang Gongzi, such a good house has been bought by you, but you are lucky today! "The house where she lived before Wang Jin, if it weren't for her love, she wouldn't have sold it! After speaking, he turned around and returned the same way, Zhang Gui hurriedly followed, leaving Qin Ziming and Min Chong, who were still stunned, and Jiang Qingliu, who had not yet reacted, were still in place.
"Cough, well, in fact, the scenery of this yard is really good, the size and pattern are also appropriate, and the son will not lose money when he buys it, and he will save money for renting." Qin Ziming came back to his senses, looked at Jiang Qingliu's embarrassed look that was rare for thousands of years, and couldn't bear it, so he opened his mouth to relieve the siege.
Jiang Qingliu was silent when he heard this, but the hand that was clenched tightly behind his back loosened slightly. He glanced at the window of the cubicle study, then turned away without saying a word.
