Chapter 102: Brother Shen (1)
It was late at night, and the Biwu study was quiet, Brother Shen quietly pushed open the window, and a cool cold breeze blew in, with a slight coolness, the full moon in the sky sprinkled a piece of silver light, illuminating the shadows of the trees in the yard, I don't know the crickets hiding in that corner and don't know the tired chanting, the night is cool, the sky is full of stars, this is destined to be a sleepless night, Brother Shen weighed the news he found during the day in his heart, and decided not to tell anyone to know, Qi Shi couldn't help but worry, Li Mingwei cares more about himself.
In the face of the general trend, he couldn't help the second sister, but fortunately, the dark cloud guards surrounding the Yingguo Mansion finally withdrew, and Yutan also asked the mother-in-law to send something home, and the capital was restored to its former prosperity, and Li Mingwei started to work again.
On this day, Brother Shen instructed the little servant to prepare a horse, only brought two copper hammers and iron chains, the three masters and servants rode horses and walked slowly, the vicinity of Niubi Hutong was densely populated, carrying a burden to sell groceries, setting up a small stall to sell food, bustling and lively, Brother Shen found Donglang's house, the chain came up to call the door, an old family member came out and opened the door, and the chain hurriedly asked, "Is Young Master Han at home?" ”
The old family also saw Brother Shen that day, knowing that he was noble, and saw that his little servant was carrying two jars of wine, and the other little guy was carrying a big bag of things, the old family hurriedly smiled, "Our young master has been out for a while, and it is time to come back, or do you sit in the son's house?" The old man came back to him. ”
Brother Shen laughed when he heard this, "Then it's troublesome for the old man." ”
Saying that he really entered the yard, Dong Lang came back, and saw Brother Shen standing under the flower shelf in the yard, and his two little servants standing by the door, Dong Lang stomped his feet and smiled, "What kind of wind is blowing today, Gongzi is free to come over?" ”
Brother Shen smiled. "Brother Donglang delayed drinking that day, and I felt sorry for it, today I have a guest to do the east. There are no good things, they are all made by my cooks at home. Take pity on me with sincerity, Brother Donglang will give me face. ”
What is Brother Shen'er's identity, the two people's identities are very different, the difference between cloud and mud, if it weren't for the chance of the year, Donglang would not have had the opportunity to meet the son of Anguo Houfu, Brother Shen'er said this humbly and interestingly, Donglang smiled. Seeing that Brother Shen doesn't put on a show, what he brings is just ordinary things, it can be seen that Brother Shen is considerate, "Childe is telling jokes, Childe's identity is noble, and I can't wait to climb Childe." ”
Brother Shen smiled, ordered the little servant to set up the wine and food, and just talked and laughed with Dong Lang, "Thanks to Brother Dong Lang for telling my identity that day, otherwise I wouldn't have known that person was Dark Cloud Guard." It's not good if you accidentally say something, that Uncle Cai didn't bother you. ”
Fuyuro smiled, "We're all neighbors. The rabbit doesn't eat the grass next to the nest, so he won't do anything to me. ”
Brother Shen was very casual to talk to him about some customs, and asked him what he had done all these years, it turned out that Donglang's father received the errand of Caoyun, and cooperated with the supervision of grain transportation, their family has lived in Jiangnan all these years, and is in charge of dispatching river workers, guarding floods and other affairs. Brother Shen inquired. It turned out that his father asked him to sell the property in the capital, because it was thousands of miles apart. It takes a lot of time to go back and forth, and it is better to sell it to save trouble.
Brother Shen said with a smile. "If you are in a hurry, afraid that you will not be able to sell at a good price, what are your two properties? I might be able to help you. ”
Dong Lang's eyes lit up, "Those two industries are good to say, sooner or later you can get rid of it, right now this house can't be sold at a price, and a few have died in the alley here on our side, and those who want to buy a house are unlucky and refuse to buy, and there are those who take the opportunity to lower the price, if the son can help, Xiao Ke is grateful." ”
"You're going to do it too? In my opinion, this house is excellent, the capital is expensive, and it is not easy to buy such a deep house, but it is a pity to sell it, and it will not be able to sell it at a good price for a while. ”
"Who said it wasn't that, this house is also worth five thousand taels of silver, and now it can't be sold for a price, and my family is waiting for this money to save it."
As he was talking, someone knocked on the door outside, but he wanted to buy a house, Donglang hurriedly said sorry, stood up and went out, Brother Shen also went out as soon as he lifted the door curtain, and came to a rich staff member, and wanted to buy this house for three thousand taels. Lao Tzu sues you, Lao Tzu's brother-in-law is Lord Liang of Shaoqing of Dali Temple. ”
This is trying to bully others, and Donglang is also anxious, "Lao Tzu just doesn't want to sell it, you still can't buy and sell it?" Saying that, he pushed this member out of the house, returned to the house and said with a smile, "I disturbed the son's Yaxing, this is about to sell the house, and I want to take advantage of that incident to lower the price in the past two days." ”
Brother Shen smiled, "Brother Donglang, sell it to me, how about I give you five thousand taels of silver?" ”
Donglang was stunned for a moment, but when he was joking, Brother Shen smiled, "I'm not joking with you, your house is worth five thousand taels of silver, and I won't suffer a loss if I buy it." ”
"What are you doing when you're a kid buying this house, because you have a friend who wants to buy it?"
Dong Lang also realized Brother Shen'er's old way at this time, and remembered his eccentricity when he was a child, so he hugged his fists and smiled, "If the son wants to buy Xiao Ke 4,000 taels, he is willing to sell." ”
Brother Shen glared at him, "You also took advantage of the fire to rob me?" I gave you the real price because I wanted to be friends with Brother Donglang, remember to call me Brother Shen, Brother Donglang, you are really unaffordable, you haven't told me my name yet, I'll just call Donglang Donglang like this? ”
Dong Lang laughed, "My surname is Han Yuanzi Feixuan, and Dong Lang is my nickname." ”
Dong Lang is also a person who has been mixing scenes since he was a child, seeing that Brother Shen is going to buy a house without saying a word, it must be somewhat useful, and it is inconvenient for him to ask more, Brother Shen has already sent out the chain while speaking, and asked him to find the small stove on the counter, Brother Shen and Dong Lang have eaten wine again, and the small stove also came, and when he heard that Brother Shen wanted to buy this house, he looked at the front and back of the house.
Brother Shen smiled and said to Donglang, "Don't look at the small stove, he is very powerful, my shop is managed by him." ”
Lu Youfang came in and said with a smile, "Even I don't know that I was still young, our son-in-law has grown up now, and even the house can be bought if you want to, but I asked my son-in-law a lot, what did you do when you bought such a big house?" You can't move out and live there, and it's a pity that this house is left in vain. Or is the prince planning to marry a concubine and settle here? ”
Brother Shen kicked him lightly with his foot, "What are you talking about, I think this place is really good." Don't you see a bookstore in front of you, and there's a liquor store over there? There are even more shops nearby. Tai students also pass by here, this is a good opportunity that can not be found, light yì can not buy such a house, this ready-made cheap I am willing to miss it. ”
Lu Youfang also smiled when he saw that Brother Shen had made up his mind, "The prince has a vision, the location of this house is excellent, and it is worth five thousand taels of silver, so I will help the prince get all the paperwork." ”
"Donglang also has a shop here. You can also help me estimate it later, I also bought it while I could, and there are still a few idlers at home, just arrange to go out. ”
Dong Lang couldn't believe his ears, in the end, it was the little son of the Hou Mansion, he was really confident in speaking, the shop was in this alley, I saw the shop closed the door and went on the gate, Dong Lang said while opening the door. "When our family left the capital, we were reluctant to sell this shop, and entrusted it to a distant relative. Unexpectedly, he was greedy, and owed a lot of debts in the name of the shop, and swept away all the goods worth a little money, and chased the debts to our house, my father was angry and couldn't think about it, so I went back to Beijing and sold the house to pay off the shortfall, this time our family couldn't enter Beijing for a few years, and it saved some trouble if I sold it. ”
The shop was damp, and some goods were piled up on the shelves. It's not worth much. Lu Youfang looked at the shop and the two small rooms behind, "This shop is also worth five hundred taels of silver." Dozens of dollars for these goods are enough. ”
Donglang saw that what he said was reliable, so he said with a smile. "The last time, someone came to the door to buy it, so he gave me four hundred taels of silver, and he also saw that I was in a hurry, so he fiercely lowered the price, and my father said that five hundred taels of silver would let me sell it."
Lu Youfang wanted to look at the accounts of the shop for many years, "Your family deserves to entrust the wrong person, I have to straighten out the accounts, otherwise the debt will come back to us." ”
Lu Youfang was relieved, and discussed with Dong Lang to clarify the account transactions, set up the documents, and send them to the official office for verification one day. Donglang was overjoyed, he really met a nobleman, but he didn't expect Li Gongzi to really buy his house, buy a shop, and give the real price, which didn't make him lose money.
"I still have a few acres of fertile land outside the city, and the annual rent is of the highest quality, not far from the city, all of them have a real price, Brother Shen, do you want it?"
Brother Shen hurriedly said, "Then I'll go over and have a look." ”
When Lu Youfang heard this, he smiled and said, "This really doesn't need to be a childe, the field is worth as much silver as it is, and you are handling it, where do you want the son to pass?" ”
"I haven't bought a field, so you don't allow me to come over to see the excitement?"
Brother Shen likes to play, so the group rode horses and went to the direction of the grange.
Dong Lang's field is not far from the southern suburbs, more than a dozen acres of land have not been harvested at the moment, at that time an acre of land seven taels of silver, the farmland near the capital can be sold at a good price, these two pieces of land are not next to each other, the shape is not irregular, in this countryside is also a rare good land, please come to the Li Zheng as a guarantee, and find someone to survey the acres, after some verification, Shen Ge'er has more than 15 acres of land under his name.
Brother Shen looked at the title deed in his hand, a large piece of paper, slightly yellow, recording the previous changes of this land, and there was an official seal on it. can have more than a dozen acres of land, and it can be regarded as a wealthy family in the people. The grain in the field, according to the estimation of the rice price, was also sold to Brother Shen, and the tenant who rented this land came over to kowtow to Brother Shen, and sincerely asked the son to give him a bite to eat.
Brother Shen smiled and said, "The old man doesn't have to care, Yiqiē is still the same as before, and he won't let you go without food." ”
It was getting late, and all the paperwork for the field and shop was clearly delivered, because this was a temporary idea, and Brother Shen did not bring any money with him, so he said that he would give it to him in three days.
Waved goodbye to Donglang, and took the little guy on the way home, Brother Shen rode a horse and walked slowly, while looking at the scenery of the field, the lofty sky, the dense field, the farmer who returned from the hoe, the smoke in the distance, I didn't feel that the sky was slowly dark, and I felt in a trance that I didn't know where I was, and the copper hammer was busy urging home, "Master, you just want to have fun, and Brother Zhang Shun will have a good beating when you turn around."
