The next morning, Hou Zhengdong opened his eyes, and Xiaoqian beside him had already gotten up from the bed, "Husband, it's time to get up, we still have to buy sheets and quilts today, soap, laundry, pots and pans, etc., by the way, we have to clean up the house, there is a lot of work." ”

Hou Zhengdong was stunned for a moment, smiled wryly and shook his head, but he didn't expect Xiaoqian's interest to be so high today, she got up so early in the morning, and she didn't stay in bed, it seems that she can't wait to leave the Zhao family.

"Alright, the first thing to do is to change that door......"

While getting dressed, Xiaoqian excitedly sorted out today's work, and Hou Zhengdong's desire for a morning exercise also disappeared without a trace.

Hou Zhengdong and the two had breakfast in a hurry, first went to choose a new security door, and then the two quickly went to visit a few bedding markets, bought sheets and quilts, etc., and went to the supermarket to buy a lot of daily necessities.

After finishing this work, when Hou Zhengdong and the two returned to the community, the security door and bedding were also delivered, Hou Zhengdong accompanied Xiaoqian to settle the bed, and the new door was also installed, of course, after Hou Zhengdong finished mopping the ground, Xiaoqian had already made a table of fragrant meals.

"Husband, it's time to eat."

Xiao Qian wore an apron around her neck, walked into the restaurant with a bowl of soup in her hand, and shouted.

"It's coming, it's coming."

Hou Zhengdong washed his hands, walked out of the bathroom, and sniffed, "Wow, wife, you are so amazing, so fragrant, you finally feel at home, if Master knows that you make a good dish, he will definitely be very happy." ”

"Yes, then you invite Master to the house for dinner, and I will show my hand when the time comes."

Xiaoqian put down the soup bowl and poured a bowl of soup for Hou Zhengdong, "Husband, you take a sip of soup first and taste the taste, this is an authentic bone broth that took me a lot of effort to make." ”

Hou Zhengdong picked up the bowl and took a sip of the soup, and nodded with satisfaction, "Wife, your soup is so delicious, I almost swallowed my tongue in my stomach." ”

"Really, if it's delicious, you can drink more."

Xiao Qian smiled and was about to speak, when a rapid mobile phone rang, Xiao Qian walked quickly to the living room, grabbed the mobile phone and glanced at it, and immediately connected the phone, "Hey, hello." ”

"Sister Xiaoqian, I'm Li Wenxiu, that's right, I helped you contact my friend last night."

"Oh, Wenxiu, what did your friend say?" Xiaoqian pinched her mobile phone and walked into the restaurant, unbuttoning the apron tied around her neck as she walked.

"Sister Xiaoqian, my friend said that his yard is 1,500 square meters, if you want to take it down, it will be at least 12 million, if it is lower than this price, you don't have to look at the place, my friend's temper is a little stubborn."

"Twelve million, so expensive?" Xiao Qian was stunned when she heard this, and opened her mouth wide in astonishment, the house she lives in now is already very good, such a large area is only 1.4 million, 12 million can be said to be an astronomical amount of money, and the salary of a director is only 2,000 yuan.

"Sister Xiaoqian, the yard is on the shore of Shichahai, the location is also very good, and the yard has just been renovated, and the cost of repairing the yard alone cost a small two million at that time."

"Wife, give me the phone."

Hou Zhengdong took the mobile phone from Xiaoqian's hand and looked into the microphone, "Li Wenxiu, hello, I told you before, money is not a problem, as long as it can make you Xiaoqian happy, let alone 12 million, it's okay to take out my entire net worth, you say, when can you see the house, remember to send the address." ”

"Okay, then let's wait to see the house, I'll wait for you outside your community at four o'clock this afternoon, and I'll accompany you to see the house."

"Li Wenxiu, then I'll trouble you, see you in the afternoon." Hou Zhengdong smiled, hung up the phone, put the phone on the table, looked at Xiao Qian with a stunned face, and said with a smile, "Silly girl, as long as you are happy, what is it to spend some money, besides, if the house is not worth the price, let's just not do it then." ”

"Fool, I know you love me, but I'm still a little reluctant to spend so much money to buy a useless yard."

Xiao Qian glanced at Hou Zhengdong, "Don't think that it's great if you have a little money, according to your spending, don't say how many lifetimes it takes, I won't be poor in less than a year." ”

"Yes, yes, we must save some flowers, and we must leave some money for our sons and grandchildren to spend."

Hou Zhengdong grinned and picked up his chopsticks, "Eat, eat." ”

The two of them ate and rested for a while, and Li Wenxiu's call arrived.

Hou Zhengdong and the two appeared at the door of the community hand in hand, Li Wenxiu saw them appear, and immediately beckoned the two to get into the taxi, the driver quickly started the car, and the taxi sped towards Shichahai.

The taxi turned east and west, walked for about half an hour, and finally stopped in front of a large courtyard of blue bricks and red tiles, with a high pedestal, the gate was wide and open, two copper rings sparkled in the setting sun, and a few traditional characters of dragons flying and phoenixes dancing on the lintel, the whole house looked extraordinary from the outside.

Li Wenxiu knocked on the door, and soon the door opened from the inside, and a middle-aged man with glasses came out from inside, and stretched out his right hand to Hou Zhengdong from afar, "Hello, you are Mr. Hou Jie, my name is Du Wei, and I am the owner of this house." ”

"Hello, Mr. Du."

Hou Zhengdong shook hands with Du Wei, "Your mansion is so beautiful, atmospheric, which princes and nobles used to be the mansion?" ”

"It's not the prince's mansion, this is the inheritance of my ancestors, my ancestor is just a minister of the Qing Dynasty, and don't you see that the lintel says that Du Mansion has two sons?"

Du Wei smiled and pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, "In the Qing Dynasty, the residences of princes, county kings, princes, beylors, beizi, zhenguo dukes, and auxiliary guo dukes were qualified to be called mansions, among which the residences of princes and county kings were called royal mansions. ”

"As for those dignitaries who are not the grandsons of Fengzi Long, even if they have titles, or have the titles of Shangshu, scholars, and military ministers, their residences cannot be called mansions, they can only be called mansions or mansions."

Hou Zhengdong smiled, "I didn't expect the name of this house to be so complicated." ”

"Wenxiu, you take Miss Xiaoqian to take a good look around the house, and I'll accompany Mr. Hou for a turn." Du Wei waved his hand to Li Wenxiu, took out a cigarette and handed it to Hou Zhengdong, the cigarette was soft China.

"Okay, let's go."

Li Wenxiu smiled and nodded, turned her head and took Xiao Qian's hand, "Sister Xiao Qian, I'll take you to see the house." ”

Xiao Qian nodded, waved her hand to Hou Zhengdong, and followed Li Wenxiu into the West Wing.

"Mr. Hou, when ordinary people come to see the house, they all say that it is not good here, not good there, so it is easy to bargain, why do you say the advantages of this house as soon as you come?"

Du Wei lit a cigarette and took a puff, and glanced at Hou Zhengdong suspiciously.

"It's very simple, since I said that I want to buy a courtyard house, I am not the master who is short of money." Hou Zhengdong let out a puff of smoke leisurely, "Besides, your yard is really good." ”

"Little brother, I said 12 million, and it's a cash transaction."

Du Wei's eyes lit up, "Many old hutong courtyards have been demolished, and there are fewer and fewer such courtyards now, these are all things left by the ancestors." ”

"Yes, this is something left by our ancestors, thousands of years of cultural atmosphere, living in such a yard, my children and grandchildren have lived in such a yard since childhood, and they will definitely be able to become talents in the future."

Hou Zhengdong smiled, "As long as my wife likes it, the price is not a problem, but it is estimated that few people in your yard are willing to buy such a yard with more than 10 million cash except us, right?" ”
