Chapter 45 The poor man must have something to hate.
The next day, after eating early in the morning, Yunxi came to Baozi Town to find Ma Liu and asked Ma Liu to help buy building materials. After the building materials were purchased, the masons found by Ma Liu were also here, and Yun Xi took out the drawings for them to see.
Yun Xi asked: Have you ever built such a building? The head mason said that it was not covered in this way. However, we built the current building of the bun shop. The general structure of this building has not changed, only the style is different. Yun Xi heard him say this, and nodded reassuringly.
The building is mainly the foundation, and the foundation must be laid, so Yun Xi asked Ma Liu to find someone to buy a lot of stones, and prepared to use the stones to lay the foundation.
Song Jie's design for Yunxi is mainly a brick and wood structure, and the foundation is a stone foundation. The wood should be treated with anti-corrosion, so that it is relatively light and strong, and the earthquake resistance is relatively good.
Yunxi asked a carpenter to make doors and windows according to the size on the design drawing. Top column. wooden floor slabs and so on.
Seeing that the craftsmen were there, Yun Xi asked Ma Liu to transfer a few craftsmen from there to repair the few shops he bought, Yun Xi checked them, and several shops were not operated all year round because they were not operated. It has fallen into disrepair. The doors and windows were in tatters. Several of the rooms had grass on their roofs. Only the doors and windows were replaced, and the roof was replaced with new ones and then buckled with red tiles.
In the past few days, Yunxi has been busy decorating the shop and building the shop, basically belonging to the sunrise and sunset, and the affairs in the factory are handed over to others.
After a few days of hard work, the foundation has been laid, the rooms above are being built, and several shops have been renovated. The doors and windows were painted with red paint, and the walls were painted with yellow paint inside and out, plus red tiles. It looks like a new one. The ones that Yunxi bought on both sides have been renovated. Only the two dilapidated shops of the rich man Li in the middle remained, which were even more dilapidated due to the foil on both sides.
On this day, the wife of the rich man Li happened to pass by, saw the brand-new shops on both sides, and then looked at how the two broken shops in the middle looked how eye-catching, how to look at how uncomfortable. So he went home angrily to settle accounts with Rich Master Li.
This rich man Li is notoriously afraid of guilt, mainly because his wife is the cousin of the magistrate, and a rich man like him has three wives and four concubines in the local area. But now he doesn't even dare to mention the matter of taking a concubine, as soon as he mentioned this matter in the past, his wife would cry, make trouble and hang herself, and threatened to find her cousin to give a review. Rich Li is not stupid, her cousin is a magistrate, and he can't afford to be provoked if he can't be surrounded. My wife is someone else's cousin, so if I hear that my cousin has been wronged, I don't want to charge myself with the law
He has been sent to prison. Not to mention the concubine, he will not be in prison for the rest of his life. He didn't dare to mention the matter of concubines again, seeing that his wife gave birth to three girls for him. Mother sighed all day long. I almost scolded myself for being unfilial.
Seeing his wife coming back angrily, he hurriedly served tea. As soon as his wife saw him, she was angry and came again. Pointing at his nose and scolding: "You 'dead pigskin', didn't you say that Ma Liu would beg you to buy your shop and give you a price increase?" As far as your pig brain is still cautious, you go to see that people have renovated their shops, and you have bought a large piece of land to build a shop at the east end of the street. Now people still care about your two broken shops, and at this time, I'm afraid that if you beg others to buy them, they may not necessarily buy them. I passed by today and saw someone's renovated shop, sandwiched between your two broken shops, it was uncomfortable to look at, I don't care if you go to Ma Liu and sell it immediately, lose money and sell it," After speaking, he knocked over the teacup to the ground with a "snap" and went back to the inner room.
Is this rich man Li being a wife? Suddenly, the frosted eggplant wilted.
This rich man Li thought about it, and he asked Ma Liu to beg others to buy his own shop, not to mention adding money, then he had to lose money. Don't look for it, it's sad for your wife. After thinking about it, let's find Master Han and let him talk about it! I heard that it was Ma Liu's help from Master Han who bought the land, and he bought it from his cousin-in-law. I'm the brother-in-law of the county. This Master Han should give himself face! Thinking of this, he took a bag of tea (his family sells tea) to Master Han's house, Master Han happened to be at home, and Rich Li put down the tea and told his wife about forcing him to sell the shop.
I heard Master Han say: "It's not that I said you Li Si, you said that the county magistrates have sold the land to others, and your two broken shops are still reluctant to sell." At this time, you are still begging people to buy you. I sue you for not seeing that you are the brother-in-law of the magistrate, I don't bother to care about your. Li Siyi heard that there was a play, and hurriedly thanked him.
Master Han said, "Go back and wait for the letter." ’
Li Si hurriedly said goodbye and went home.
The next day, Master Han went to Ma Liu and told Li Si about Li Si asking him to help sell the shop. Let Ma Liu tell Yun Xi that if he can buy it, he will buy Li Si's shop! It's good to look at the face of the county. After all, Li Si is the brother-in-law of the county. Ma Liuyi repeatedly said that he must have a good talk with Yun Xi, and Master Han said goodbye.
After Master Han left, Ma Liu thought to himself that this little girl Yunxi was really not simple, she was only nine years old and had figured out people's minds so thoroughly, and she would definitely be right to follow her in the future. He knew where Yun Xi was still in the shop, so he went to Yun Xi and told Master Han that Master Han had told him that Rich Man Li wanted to sell the shop. Yun Xi smiled and said, "Why don't you buy him and give Zhixian and Master Han a face?" Ma Liu hurriedly said: "Ma Liu listens to the little owner."
Yun Xi said: "Go back, you sue Master Han and let the rich man Li take the title deed and come directly to the shop to find me." ”
, After Ma Liu went back, he first told Master Han that the matter was done, and asked him to tell Master Li that he took the title deed and went directly to Yunxi.
As soon as the rich man heard this, he hurriedly took the title deed and went to the shop, and when he arrived at the shop, he couldn't see the person he was looking for. So I went back to find Ma Liu, Ma Liu said that the little proprietor was waiting for you in front of the shop, why did you see me just going to build the shop, let's go together! Ma Liu saw Yun Xi waiting in front of the shop, Ma Liu pointed at Yun Xi and said Isn't that the little owner? Are you going? I'm going to watch the craftsman build the shop.
Rich Li pointed at Yun Xi and said, "You mean that little girl?" ”
"Well, that's our little club." After saying that, he turned around and left.
Yun Xi saw a man with a fat head and big ears walking towards him, and guessed that it was Rich Li, so he saw Rich Man Li approaching Yun Xi and said, "Little girl, do you want to buy a shop?" ”’
Yun Xi opened his mouth and said, "I don't want to."
Rich Li knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he hurriedly apologized and said, "Little owner, I want to sell the shop to you."
Yun Xi looked at the rich man Li and said, "Why should I buy your shop? Do you think your two shops are worth it? ”
The rich man Li looked at his two shops, which were broken and could not be seen before, but now they are all renovated, only his two windows and doors are tattered, with a pestle in the middle, and grass grows on the roof. No wonder the wife wants to sell it. It's also uncomfortable to watch it myself.
"Please, little proprietor, you must buy my two shops anyway. You don't know, my wife said I want to
When I sold the shop, she asked my cousin to take me to jail. His cousin is a magistrate. Save me! ”
"Okay, okay, you get up, I'll buy it, but you have to remember that I bought it for the sake of Lord Zhixian and Master Han. I'm not going to add money. ”
Li Rich Man said; "You can give as much as you want, as long as you are willing to buy it, I will burn high incense, and hand the title deed to Yunxi."
Yun Xi took the title deed and said, "I don't want to take advantage of the danger of others, so I handed the prepared money to Rich Master Li after speaking." Rich Li took the money, thanked Yun Xi, and went home to repay his wife.
