Chapter 80: Buying a House

h2> "Sister Frost, you haven't seen Xiaodou and her father yet, he is!" Xianggong, this is the smart and capable frost sister! Wan Niang will introduce Bai Qingshuang to both parties after she enters.

"White Girl!" Although Zhou Ming was born with some five big and three thick, he looks very strong and rough, but he is actually more introverted.

The first time he saw a little girl who was less than the height of his chest, he was a little ashamed and didn't dare to follow his wife to call his sister.

It was Bai Qingshuang who shouted generously: "Brother Zhou!" Then, I greeted the old lady of the Zhou family, who had been taking care of Wan Niang these days and was willing to spend money on medicine and was much better, and no longer had to stay in bed, "Auntie, your improvement is much better today!" ”

"Thanks to you, Xiaodou Niang has earned a lot of money with you, and she is willing to treat my lagging old woman, so that I can have my wife today!" Aunt Zhou was half grateful to Bai Qingshuang, and half praised her daughter-in-law's filial piety.

"Mother, look at what you said, taking care of you is what our juniors should do!" was praised by her mother-in-law, as a filial daughter-in-law, Wanniang's heart is naturally beautiful.

When her mother-in-law's health is better, she will have more opportunities and time to develop their careers!

"Aunt Zhou, as the saying goes, there is an old man in the family who is like a treasure. As long as your old man is healthy and has a long life, I think this is the happiest thing for Sister Wan and Brother Zhou! Bai Qingshuang said with a smile.

This week, the eldest mother used to be in poor health, and she often had to make things difficult for Wan Niang, but after all, she was in a depressed mood to do this occasionally, which made people angry.

Now that she is in good health, she gets along with Wanniang like a mother and daughter, so Bai Qingshuang can't help but compare them with the people of the Bai family, and her heart is really full of taste.

However, people are more popular than people, and she just compared the situation, and then she put it aside and didn't think about it.

"You kid, you talk a lot, and your mouth is smart, no wonder Xiaodou Niang and Xiaodou often talk about your goodness!" Aunt Zhou was amused and couldn't close her mouth with joy.

"Oh, Xiaodou said good things about Auntie, Auntie has a reward, give, this is the candy that Auntie bought for Xiaodou to eat!" Bai Qingshuang immediately took out two pieces of candy from his pocket and gave them to Xiaodou.

This is still when she was about to go out, Bai Qingfeng stuffed it in her pocket, and their father Bai Zhihong also had it.

"Thank you, Auntie!" Xiaodou immediately thanked him sweetly, and immediately peeled one and stuffed it in Aunt Zhou's mouth, and then peeled it and ate it himself, which naturally won everyone's praise.

After being happy for a while, Wan Niang remembered the matter and said: "That's right, Sister Shuang, your eldest brother has already helped your family find out about a house, although it is not a pure empty land, there is a courtyard built in it, but the vacant space next to it is also quite large." The main thing is that the owner is in a hurry to sell, so the price is not high, and it is not too far from our house, and the asking price is 1,000 taels of silver. Your eldest brother's friend, Meng Yanzi, said that the price can be pressed down, and eight hundred taels of silver should be able to buy it. ”

"Really?" If they can buy a big house for eight hundred taels, and there is enough vacant land in the house to build a warm house, and it is better than the slum street where they live at this time, of course, why not.

"Yes, I followed Meng Yanzi to see it, and the house built in it is not much, but it is about twice the size of our family. But the vacant land occupies almost five or six times the size of our yard, and it is all deserted there, and it can be seen that the owner is no longer able to take care of it, and he just wants to get rid of it! Zhou Ming said, "Meng Yanzi said that you have to see the house as much as possible, otherwise you will have to wait for the opportunity if someone else preempts it!" ”

"Okay, then let's go and have a look!" Bai Qingshuang moved, Wan Niang's house with yard is not big, but it adds up to seven or eight times the size of this side, so even if you don't bargain for a thousand taels of silver, it's worth it! "It's just that, Sister Wan, I only have more than 700 taels of silver on me now, counting the commission to you, I'm afraid it's not enough, I have to borrow some silver from you first, and after moving, the house at home can be sold before it can be returned to you!" ”

"Look at you, what are you doing here, my silver is not earned by you, don't rub it here, you and Xianggong will go to see the house and location first, and I will make up the garlands and flower strings that several young ladies want before looking for you!" Wan Niang said immediately.

She doesn't have to discuss it with her mother-in-law and husband, and she also knows that her family knows how to be grateful.

"That's it, Shuang'er, you go with Mingzi, don't delay the big thing!" Mrs. Zhou also spoke out, which can be regarded as the end of Bai Qingshuang's worries.

"Good!" Bai Qingshuang smiled with relief, and then Zhou Ming, who seemed to be not good at words, got up and left.

Meng Yanzi's home is in an alley of Wan Niang's house, not very far away, and it is the companion of the Zhou brothers from childhood to adulthood.

Seeing Zhou Ming with a child who looked no more than ten years old and said that he wanted to buy a house, he was obviously stunned in disbelief.

Zhou Ming said: "Brother Meng, don't underestimate Miss Bai, her ideas are no less than ordinary adults, and the ideas that your younger siblings can make money by selling flowers are all ideas from Miss Bai!" ”

For Bai Qingshuang, Zhou Ming not only admires it, but of course he is grateful.

Wan Niang once encountered two indecent things, both of which were resolved by Bai Qingshuang, although he was not good at words, he never expressed gratitude, but he always remembered it in his heart.

Thinking that not long ago, their family was suffering from the old lady's illness and the lack of money in the family, so he had to agree to the lady to go out and sell flowers to supplement the family's income.

When he heard Wan Niang's narration at that time, he was so ashamed that he even wanted to die. Later, Bai Qingshuang not only always accompanied Wan Niang, but now he doesn't have to go out to show up anymore to earn a lot of silver, and the gratitude in his heart naturally can't be expressed in his already clumsy words.

Only between words and deeds, Bai Qingshuang is highly respected.

"It turns out that you are the white girl who is always grateful to Erming!" Meng Yanzi immediately stood in awe, and no longer dared to look down at the young Bai Qingshuang, "Disrespectful and disrespectful!" ”

Bai Qingshuang blinked, not knowing where this Meng Yanzi's respect came from, although he was about the same age as these two men in his heart, he still said with a thin face at this time: "Brother Meng, don't say that, it's embarrassing!" ”

"Huh? At a young age, you are not only courageous, but also smart and clever, and your mind is beyond the reach of ordinary children, and you are a person worthy of my respect! Meng Yanzi also looked bold, and that posture was about to be called brother and sister to Bai Qingshuang.

"Brother Meng, you're about to delay the white girl's business!" Zhou Ming knew his temperament, and immediately reminded him on the side, "Didn't you say that the house would be very popular?" Let's go over there! ”

"Yes, yes, yes! Look at me and almost got down to business! Walk! Let's go! Meng Yanzi was reminded and immediately remembered that the business had not been done yet.

The group of three immediately walked quickly towards the destination.

On the way, Meng Yanzi immediately put on the serious face of a businessman, and gave Bai Qingshuang a detailed description of the owner's situation and the size of the house, and finally said: "I see that the owner's family is also honest people, and they are eager for silver, plus although the yard is large, but the main house is dilapidated, so if you press down one or two hundred taels of silver at that time, I will help you answer it on the side, it should not be a problem!" ”

"Thank you, Brother Meng, I know how to do it." Now the money on hand is not very abundant, of course Bai Qingshuang knows the truth that if he can save, he will save.

"That house is only two small alleys away from our alley, and you will be much closer to your brother and daughter-in-law in the future, so you can move around more!" Meng Yanzi said with a smile.

"That's it!" After building a greenhouse in her own house, she had to let Wanniang often run to her side.

"Brother Meng, if the white girl's house is bought, the younger brother will be the east, and you will definitely be invited to eat and drink!" Zhou Ming knew what Meng Yanzi meant, and immediately voted for what he liked.

Bai Qingshuang is not stupid, after hearing Zhou Ming say this, he understood what Meng Yanzi meant when he said that everyone walked around more, and immediately followed: "If the matter is done, I will have to invite Brother Meng to eat a glass of water and wine!" ”

"Hey, hey, hey! Ok, good, good! As long as he heard that there was wine to drink, Meng Yanzi smiled so much that his eyes narrowed.

Talking and laughing, I turned two small alleys, and soon arrived in front of a house that looked relatively dilapidated at the gate of the courtyard.

Looking at the somewhat mottled fence surrounding the site, it can be seen that Meng Yanzi is right, the area is indeed seven or eight times larger than the Zhou family, even if it costs a thousand taels of silver to buy, it is too worthwhile.

"Knock knock!" Meng Yanzi did not hesitate, and when Bai Qingshuang was looking at the surrounding environment, he had already knocked on the courtyard door.

It didn't take long for someone inside to come out in a hurry, and first asked who it was cautiously, Meng Yanzi responded, and the man opened a crack in the door, and looked around in a panic before opening the door, and after letting them in, he quickly closed the door.

The person who came to open the door was a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing the robes of Confucian scholars that scholars love to wear, and he looked like a down-and-out Confucian student.

Just looking at his nervous appearance, Bai Qingshuang didn't care whether he was the kind of scholar who knew how to read or not, and couldn't help but be wary of it, afraid that there would be any fraud in it, so he gave Zhou Ming a look, and whispered: "Brother Zhou, you will say that you want to buy a house later." ”

"Okay! I understand! Zhou Ming also felt that this master's appearance was a little strange, and immediately responded first.

Meng Yanzi also felt that the homeowner was a little strange when he contacted the day before, hiding the doubts in his eyes, and said to the homeowner: "Homeowner, this is the ......" R1152
