Coming out of the concert house, Guo Song turned around and went to the West Market, he has not heard from the wine shop for four or five days, and he is a little worried in his heart, although the Dou family has no idea to fight the wine shop again, but what about other wealthy families?

As soon as Guo Song arrived at the gate of the West Market, he saw Zhang Lei coming out of the West Market from a distance, followed by a person, and the two were talking about something enthusiastically?

"Senior brother!"

Guo Song shouted, Zhang Lei turned his head, saw Guo Song, and immediately waved his hand to him happily.

Seeing that the senior brother was smiling brightly, Guo Song was relieved, there should be nothing wrong with the wine shop.

"Senior brother, do you have something to do with the wine shop?"

"It's nothing, I'm going to see you."

"Since it's okay, come with me and help me go and see the house."

"Senior brother wants to buy a house?"

Guo Song has been persuading the senior brother and his wife to buy a house as soon as possible, but Li Wenyu always wants to make the wine shop bigger and stronger, and resolutely refuses to spend money indiscriminately.

Guo Song suddenly became interested, and hurriedly turned over and dismounted, "Where is the house that senior brother wants to buy?" ”

"Just in Huaiyuanfang, your sister-in-law has already gone to see it yesterday, let me go and see it today."

Huaiyuan Fang is located in the south of the West City, also close to the West City, this Fang is a famous merchant settlement area in Chang'an, the houses are not very large, mainly three to five acres of the majority, there is a Xingguo Temple in the Fang, the incense is very prosperous.

Guo Song and Zhang Lei entered Huaiyuanfang, and the man with them was a house broker, and he had at least thirty commissions to complete the house transaction, so he was extremely enthusiastic.

Entering Huaiyuan Fang, Guo Song felt that the commercial atmosphere of this house was very heavy, there was not a carriage in the whole house, the merchant had just allowed to ride a horse, but he was not allowed to use a carriage, only a donkey cart and an ox cart could be used, and the color of the house was mostly black and gray, which was also because the merchant was not allowed to use bright and bright colors, of course, the color of women's clothes was not limited, mainly for men and residences.

However, this year, merchants are also allowed to use white, and you can see that the courtyard walls of many homes have been painted white from dark gray.

"Senior brother, is your household registration a merchant?" Guo Song asked in a low voice.

"It's not a business registration, my and your sister-in-law's household registration is hung in her cousin's house in Feng County, which belongs to a non-editorial household, after buying a house, move the household registration over, and we will be able to become an independent household member."

"In that case, why buy the house in Huaiyuanfang?"

Guo Song took advantage of the broker to open the door, and said in a low voice: "Huaiyuanfang is a merchant settlement, and when others hear that your home is in Huaiyuanfang, they will underestimate you." ”

"We have also considered this problem, the people we usually deal with are basically businessmen, we don't compare, it doesn't matter what the reputation is, the key is that this house is in a good location, convenient from the West Market, and there is a big cellar, your sister-in-law has seen a lot of houses, and finally she is very satisfied with this cellar, which is very suitable for storing wine, and the price is not expensive."

"How much does it cost?"

"Two thousand guan and one acre of land, a total of about 11,000 guan, and Yankang Fang next door is not close to the West Market, so it will cost three thousand guan and one acre."

Guo Song shook his head with a smile, "If it's just for the sake of cheapening this five thousand yuan, I advise you not to buy here." ”

"Let's see!"

The two followed the broker into the house, the house is very ordinary, a typical three-entry structure, the front yard, the middle pavilion and the back house, it feels like it is not much different from Guo Song's three-acre house, but this is a five-and-a-half-acre house, and there are two and a half acres of land.

The broker pointed to a piece of land next to the back house and said, "This piece of land is about two acres, and now it is empty, nothing has been built, and the large cellar you want is under this land." ”

"Check it out!" Zhang Lei said excitedly.

The broker led the two into a room and pushed open a large stone slab, revealing a swarthy hole and a long stone staircase below.

The broker took them down, the ground is very deep, all of them are made of big bluestone, much to Guo Song's expectations, to the bottom, Guo Song was shocked, this should be called the basement, covering an area of about two acres, separated by three stone walls into four warehouses, each warehouse shape is very narrow and long, the key three walls are stacked with one or two tons of boulders, supporting the weight of the entire roof bluestone, and the ventilation effect is very good, they actually did not feel depressed below.

No wonder the senior sister took a fancy to this mansion at a glance, this basement made Guo Song like it very much, and it could be seen that it cost a lot of money to build it.

Seeing that both of them liked this basement, the broker smiled and said, "The former owner specially asked someone to estimate this basement, and it will cost at least 8,000 to 10,000 yuan to build this basement." ”

"Who built this basement?"

The broker smiled: "It is inferred that it was built during the Sui Dynasty, and this place originally belonged to a royal palace, and later the palace was destroyed in the war, but the basement was preserved, and the former owner was engaged in the cloth business, which was full of cloth." ”

Zhang Lei scratched his head and asked, "Then why sell the house?" ”

"The former owner's surname is Jiang, and proprietor Zhang has heard of it!"

"Could it be Jiang Shilang?" Zhang Lei blurted out.

"This is the person who is famous in the West Market."

Guo Song asked, "Senior brother, what's the matter with this person?" ”

Zhang Lei shook his head and said: "I heard that this person transported cloth worth more than 100,000 guan to Lulongjiedu Mansion, but Tian Chengsi not only didn't give him a penny, but also detained him in Lulong and asked his family for a ransom of 100,000 guan. ”

The broker smiled: "Zhang Dongzhu is right, Jiang Shilang's son is raising money everywhere, this house is for sale, their family is in a hurry, if they can pay him silver before noon tomorrow, he will let another 1,000 yuan, 10,000 yuan to sell this house." ”

"What do you think?" Zhang Lei asked Guo Songdao.

Guo Song smiled faintly: "With this basement, I think I can make a deal now." ”

Zhang Lei immediately said: "You can make a deal!" ”

The broker was overjoyed, "Then let's go to Jiang's cloth shop immediately, and we can sign the deed to transfer the property now." ”

........

Zhang Lei lost the matter of buying a house to his wife Li Wenyu, and he never cared about this kind of thing.

Zhang Lei and Guo Song came to the Yunting Restaurant opposite the West Market, and the two found a seat by the window on the second floor and sat down.

Zhang Lei is a frequent visitor here, and the shopkeeper and bartender all know him, so they immediately bring up the wine and food without command.

"Senior brother, these are my usual favorite drinks and dishes, what do you like, order it yourself!"

Guo Song shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter, as long as it's not bracken powder dumplings, I like them." ”

The two suddenly remembered the years of Kongtong Mountain, and they couldn't help laughing together, Zhang Lei sighed and said: "I still miss the past, but I miss it, let me go back to live, I won't do it." ”

Zhang Lei handed half a jade pendant and a voucher from the cabinet to Guo Song, "The net profit of 200,000 taels of silver, this is your 140,000 taels of silver, stored in the Baofeng cabinet, and the list and jade pendant will be used to get the silver." ”

Brothers, settle accounts, if you want to cooperate for a long time, you can't be hypocritical, you should take your own money, Guo Song understands this truth, he unceremoniously took the list and said with a smile: "You still have 50,000 taels of silver in your hands, I suggest you buy another good house, while the price of the house has not fully recovered, hurry up, don't want it in the future, you can also sell it for a profit." ”

"We also think about it this way, but almost all good houses are official houses, but they can not be found, we can only look slowly, and if we like it, we will start decisively, and then we also want to go to Chengdu to buy a small house, in case of war in Chang'an, our family still has a place to retreat."

"This can be there, it's well thought out."

Guo Song put away the jade pendant and the cabinet ticket, poured Zhang Lei a full glass of wine and asked, "Is there still anyone who has the idea of playing a wine shop these days?" ”

Zhang Lei shook his head, "There are basically no people who talk about the transfer of the gang, that is, there were a few little ruffians who wanted to come to steal wine the afternoon before yesterday, and the guards who were invited were beaten lightly, and then no one dared to come, and now we have found that the existing money should be spent, and we have hired the guards, shopkeepers and account rooms, your sister-in-law is much easier, otherwise she will have time to see the house." ”

Guo Song also smiled, "You should also have a son when you have time." ”

"I want to too! You see, I never look for a woman outside, just to save money and have a son, and strive to hold a son next year. ”

Speaking of giving birth to a son, Zhang Lei remembered something and said to Guo Song: "Do you know the Zheng family in Xingyang? ”

"I've heard of it, it seems to be a famous family, what's wrong?"

"There is a news, the proprietor of Diecuixuan is going to recruit a son-in-law for his youngest daughter, she is very beautiful, I heard that the proprietor of Diecuixuan is the Zheng family in Xingyang, are you interested in trying it?"

"Senior brother, do you think I will be someone's son-in-law? And the famous family cherishes their reputation, this family openly competes to recruit relatives, I don't know if it is the Xingyang Zheng family, maybe it is a Zheng old turtle, pretending to be the Xingyang Zheng family! ”

"That's true, but Diecuixuan's business is very big, if I'm ten years younger, I don't care if my mother is a family or not, and I'll talk about getting the money."

"Senior brother, you haven't thought about doing anything else besides making money? For example, participating in martial arts. ”

Zhang Lei snorted disdainfully, "To participate in the martial arts examination, I have to take the riding and archery test, I haven't even practiced archery, and I still ride and shoot?" At the beginning, the master said that I had no ambitions, and I was not a person who did great things, and I was really right, my biggest wish in this life is to earn more money, have more sons, drink tea if I have nothing to do, go to other shopkeepers to brag, and be a plain-headed ordinary person with peace of mind, I am very satisfied with my current life, and I don't want to change it at all. ”

Guo Song picked up his wine glass and said with a smile: "Then I wish my senior brother an early birth to a son, and I have this glass!" ”
