155. The First Arrival in the Capital II

Lin Xue hooked a smile and said slowly, "But your house is haunted, big brother, I guess your house has been pressed for several years, and you can only keep pressing it if you miss us." ”

The man's face changed, and finally he gritted his teeth and said, "The deal is six hundred taels." After a pause, he said, "Mrs. Li, should we sign the contract now, or in a few days." ”

Lin Xue asked Li Feng what he meant with his eyes, Li Feng nodded, Lin Xue took out the silver ticket from his arms, counted six hundred taels and handed it to the man, and said, "Sign it now, we also want to pack up and move in as soon as possible." ”

The man took the silver and counted it, put it in his arms, and then found a teahouse nearby, signed a contract with Lin Xue, and got the deed Lin Xue suddenly had a sense of belonging, and finally had a place to settle in the capital.

Seeing that it was about to get dark, Lin Xue and Li Feng hurried back to the inn, and when they saw the two of them coming back, Li Qi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Xiaoxue, why did you come back, did you find the house?" ”

Lin Xue poured a cup of tea and drank it and said, "I found it, and I bought it all, wait until tomorrow to clean it up, and we can live in." As she spoke, Lin Xue took out the deed and put it on the table.

Li Qi happily took it over and looked at it, Yunyun also took a lively look at it, and said, "Mother, the house is not big, and I don't have a separate room." ”

Lin Xue nodded and said, "Yes, there are a total of eight rooms in it, which is enough for our family." ”

Li Qi frowned when he heard this, he heard his guy talk about the high housing prices in the capital today, how can so many houses cost thousands of taels, and said complainingly, "Xiaoxue, why don't you buy a smaller house, so much waste of money, our whole family will have to live in the future, so don't need money." ”

"Dad, we bought this house when it was cheap, and my mother knows whether it is good or not." Li Feng felt that the positions of his father and his mother seemed to be reversed, other people's families were all men running out and women staying at home, but in their family, women went out to run, and men stayed at home.

"Cheap, how is it possible." Li Qi looked incredulous, "I've asked my buddy today, how can such a big house cost fifteen hundred taels." ”

Li Feng was helpless, how could his father be a dead brain, and said, "Dad, it's really cheap, my mother bought this house for six hundred taels, but this house is haunted, I don't know if you dare to live in it." ”

Before Li Qi could speak, Yunyun jumped over first, shook Lin Xue's arm and shouted, "Mother, it's really haunted, great, I've always wanted to see what the ghost looks like, and now I can be regarded as getting what I want." ”

Lin Xue propped her elbows on the table and held her head, she really didn't know what to say about this daughter, how could she marry out after she was so bold, she raised her head and looked at Li Qi and said, "The master, there are no problems with a few of us, it's up to you now, give me a happy word, do you dare to live in this haunted house." ”

Li Qi looked at this, then at that, and said with a wry smile, "You all agree, what else can I say is that there are ghosts?" It's a big deal that he's coming, I'm in the way, and I'm going to definitely not let you guys get hurt. ”

Lin Xue's heart gushed with warmth, although Li Qi is not good in other aspects, but he has nothing to say about the heart of his family, and he thinks of something, and says, "Boss, we can't sit and eat when we come over this time, we still have to find a way to earn silver, and in the future, Feng'er will get married, and Yunyun will have to get a lot of silver." ”

Li Qi also became serious and said, "But if you do business, it will affect Feng'er's future, otherwise let's farm, Xiaoxue, how much silver do you still have in your hand." ”

"There are about ten thousand taels of silver." Lin Xue frowned and said, "It's okay to farm, but I still want to do a small business, after all, the consumption in the capital is relatively large, and I can't sustain it by farming alone." He looked at Li Feng again and said, "Feng'er, let me think that there will always be other ways." ”

"Mother, in fact, it's nothing to do business, I heard a classmate say that as long as you don't become an official, the court won't care about this matter at all." Li Feng looked at Lin Xue and Li Qi with a smile, father and mother are too careful.

Lin Xue glared angrily and said, "Stinky boy, then why didn't you say it earlier, it caused me and your father to think about it for so long." ”

Li Feng touched his nose and muttered, "You didn't ask me again." ”

With the bottom in her heart, Lin Xue sent Li Qi and Li Feng to sleep in another room, and rested for a night Lin Xue's family went to see the new home in good spirits.

Yesterday, because it was too late, Lin Xue took a general look, and after a closer look today, I found that there were many problems with this house, the red paint on the door was mottled, there were many faults on the stone steps, the yard was overgrown with weeds, and the windows and doors in the room also needed to be replaced.

After reading it, Lin Xue directly threw the rag on the ground and said, "Boss, Feng'er, don't clean it, we have to find someone to redecorate this house, otherwise there is no way to live in it." ”

Li Feng also agreed with Lin Xue's opinion, this house is indeed too broken, no wonder the man was willing to sell this house for six hundred taels, it turned out that it was not just because it was haunted, "Mother, otherwise let's buy the land first, and the house will be cleaned up after it is renovated." ”

Lin Xue nodded, and was about to speak when she heard footsteps coming in, and Lin Xue looked back and saw that it was the person who sold the house to her yesterday.

"Mrs. Li, this house is not bad, you have picked up a big bargain this time."

Lin Xue glanced at him with a smile and said, "It's a big bargain, not necessarily, that is, you didn't suffer a loss, Brother Wang, you sold me this house, I don't know what else you have to do when you come over today." ”

The man was not annoyed, and pointed to the two behind him and said, "Mrs. Li, I know that you will definitely have to redecorate the house, so I brought someone here for you, and you are not going out to find it." ”

Profiteer, Lin Xue scolded secretly in her heart, and said with a smile on her face, "That's really troublesome for you, otherwise we don't know where to find someone if we don't know the place well." ”

"Well said, well said." The man replied with a smile.

After talking about the decoration, Lin Xue was just about to leave and asked, "Brother Wang, do you know that there is land to buy around here?" ”

"You said earlier, I have dozens of acres of good land in my hands, it depends on how much you want." The man was overjoyed, he really came to the right place today, and the smile on his face became brighter and brighter.

Lin Xue's eyes lit up, and she was not in a hurry to go back, she found a teahouse and sat down and said, "Brother Wang, I won't hide anything from you, our family just arrived in the capital and didn't know anything, so there are some things that you still need to explain." ”

The man nodded, took a sip of the teacup and said, "Yes, then I'll tell you, the land in this capital is more expensive than other places, one acre of good land is about fifteen taels, and the amount is not very much, these in my hands can only be regarded as medium, but the price is at least twelve taels and one acres." ”

Li Qi gasped, this price is not ordinarily expensive, and said hesitantly, "Can't it be cheaper?" In our place, an acre of medium land is worth eight taels of silver at most. ”

Lin Xue didn't speak, and the man thought for a while and said, "It's not easy for you guys, so I'll drop some, how about eleven taels per mu." ”

"Ten taels, we want all the ones in your hands." Lin Xue raised her eyebrows and said.

"Okay, deal." The man looked pained, in fact, he was happy in his heart, and the middle-class big families couldn't look down on it, and the average people couldn't afford it because it was too expensive, so now he sold it to Lin Xue for ten taels and one acres, so he could still earn some.

In the end, Lin Xue spent five hundred taels of silver to buy fifty acres of medium-sized land, Lin Xue and Li Qi went to take a look, the land was not far from the house that Lin Xue bought, and it would only take a quarter of an hour to go by carriage.

Ten days later, the house that Lin Xue bought was finally able to live in, and early in the morning, Lin Xue's family moved in with all their belongings, and the furniture had been arranged yesterday.

"Feng'er, this house has also been bought and landed, should you go to the academy to attend classes?" Lin Xue asked as she sat in the living room.

Li Feng sighed helplessly, the clean days were finally over, nodded and said, "Mother, I will go to the school tomorrow to report, you don't have to worry about it." ”

"You just have a number in your heart, and your parents can't help you with anything about studying, so you can only rely on yourself." Lin Xue walked around the house a few times, the weeds in the yard had been removed, Lin Xue thought about whether to plant something, otherwise it would not look good if it was empty.

Just thinking that Li Qi walked in from outside the door, his face was not very good-looking, and he frowned and said, "Xiaoxue, this woman's curiosity is too heavy, so I went out for a walk, and I was asked endlessly." ”

Lin Xue was stunned for a moment and asked curiously, "What are they asking you?" ”

Li Qi smiled bitterly, "The matter of the house, isn't our house haunted?" They asked if they had seen it at night, and what the ghost looked like. ”

Lin Xuewan smiled and said, "Just ignore it, they don't have any malicious intent, it's just a matter of curiosity." ”

Li Qi nodded yes, and after a while, he put the matter behind him and smiled again.

"By the way, didn't you go out to find a shop? How is it going, is there a suitable one. Lin Xue asked eagerly.

Li Qi shook his head and said embarrassedly, "There are a lot of empty shops, but they are either too big or too small, and there are no suitable ones at all." ”

"That's right." Lin Xue knew in her heart that it was not so easy to find a suitable shop in the capital, so she patted Li Qi on the shoulder and said, "Master, let's eat first, the shop is not in a hurry, let's look for it tomorrow." ”

"By the way, Xiaoxue, I saw Lou Gongzi today, he is also in the capital, and it seems that he also saw a restaurant." Li Qi suddenly remembered and said.

"Boss, where did you meet, did you speak?" Lin Xue was not very surprised, when she first sold the restaurant, Lou Chen said that their family was going to move to the capital.
