Chapter 10: Doing things with money
Su Changqing and Mo Yanxi walked to the door side by side, and there was already a carriage waiting here.
"Master Su, then I'll leave now, and I'll come back another day to call for the old lady. Please also remember to pay more attention to the old lady's recent diet, and the things I said must not be touched. ”
"That's natural, yesterday Bai Gongzi said that there was no merit, and now that his mother has woken up, he also asked Bai Gongzi to take the consultation fee back, don't let the world say that I am dishonest to others, I know that Bai Gongzi does not take this to heart, and Su also asked Bai Gongzi to be able to fulfill a piece of his mind."
Su Changqing said, taking out a stack of silver tickets from his arms.
Mo Yanxi hesitated for a while and then took it, counted the silver ticket of five hundred taels of gold, and then stuffed the remaining half back into Su Changqing's hand.
"The remaining half, wait for Mrs. Su's illness to heal, and then take it."
“…………”
Mo Yan got into the carriage and quickly disappeared into Nanliu Lane. Leaving Su Changqing in place was a little dumbfounded. Su Changqing touched his nose, thinking that this Bai Luyan was really a little incomprehensible, you said that he loves money, Bai Ri saw the money presented in his eyes without shock, and even a little disdainful, if you want to say that you don't love money, at this time, it is neat and neat, and it does not suffer at all, but it looks natural before and after, wonderful people!
As soon as Mo Yanxi's carriage came out of Nanliu Lane, he began to look at these silver tickets in the carriage, fortunately, they were just ordinary silver tickets, and there were no special markings, so it was much more convenient in Linyuan City, and no one could trace the use of this money, very good!
The carriage drove to the inn where Mo Yanxi lived, Mo Yanxi thanked him and went upstairs to rest, this series of continuous things was really sleepy, Mo Yanxi slept until noon. It wasn't until Xiangxue called for lunch that she lazily got up to wash up and clean up.
Half an hour later, Xiangxue and Sakura came in with food. Mo Yanxi looked at the two with a smile on her face, and Xiangxue Yingniang, who was looking directly, felt furious in her heart.
"Miss, how... What's wrong? Is there something dirty on our faces? ”
The two finally couldn't help but ask, Mo Yanxi didn't speak, and continued to smile and took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms and put them on the table.
"Wow! That's a lot, a hundred taels, two hundred taels, three hundred taels......... Five... Five hundred taels of gold~ Miss, you are really amazing! ”
When the two of them saw so many silver tickets, they were stunned, and it took a long time to react, and they took turns counting them over and over again, and then they gave up.
Mo Yanxi said with a smile: "Ying Niang, Xiangxue and I are not good at managing money, from today onwards, these silver will be handed over to you for safekeeping, let's go to Beishi to buy a house after dinner, since we have to stay here for a long time, we can't always live in the inn." ”
"Sakura obeys!"
Sakura understands that this is full trust, Miss believes in her loyalty, and trusts her ability even more, she will naturally not let Miss down!
After eating, the three of them went out with a baggage, but they did not go directly to the North City, but to the South City, where they found an inn, checked in again with their original names, and went downstairs after half an hour. What is surprising is that the person who appeared in front of everyone at this time is no longer a partial son.
The person who walked in the front was slender, wearing a purple smoky long dress, the neckline, cuffs and skirt were embroidered with dark purple roses, a soft waist-length black hair was draped down, only a small bun was saved on the top of the head, two jade green hostas were inserted obliquely, and two small and delicate red agate beads hung at the transparent white ears.
Although the face is only slightly powdered, but still fragrant and beautiful, delicate and unique facial features are eye-catching, the exposed slender jade hands are soft and delicate, it is really willow eyebrows, clever smile and panpan, skin like green peaks and white snow, lips like cherry Shao red, peerless beauty!
Look at the two who followed, one was graceful, with three points of charm in his eyes, one in a pale pink shirt looked even more skinny, and the hand was painted with peony red Dankou, with beautiful and soft facial features, and the other was dressed in a capable green coat, with the cuffs closed, and the facial features were also delicate and chic, with fair skin, and the soft black hair was draped behind him, and a simple bun was saved on the top of the head, pinned with a silver hairpin, and there was no trace of forehead hair on the face, which was somewhat different from the cold atmosphere of ordinary women.
"You two have been living here since today, and when others asked, they said that they came from the Mo family in the water town west of Xicheng, and they planned to make a living here, so we have to show some foundation in Linyuan City first, so that we will not act too abruptly in the future." Mo Yanxi admonished.
"Yes, Miss!"
When the three of them left the inn, they rented a good-looking carriage and headed in the direction of North City. This worth a thousand gold Nanliu Lane naturally can't go, although there are some belongings on the body now, but in the future, you have to build shops, workshops, indispensable money, or have to save a little. Moreover, there are only three of them living there, and at most they can buy a few more servants and maids, which are too large and seem too empty.
The three of them looked around, and then found a more satisfactory house in Manfeng Lane, the owner of the house has moved his family to the west of the water town, the house here is uninhabited, and it is also deserted in vain, so it is strange to say that the house has been hanging for a long time, and the price is also very suitable, but it is not sold.
The main person who led them to see the house only said that because the original owner of the house was not in good taste, and the scenery was not very pleasant, and those people were too lazy to spend money to renovate it, so they still did not find a buyer.
Mo Yanxi didn't reply, stood in the front hall and looked at the southeast and northwest, and then walked out of the house and turned around, then said angrily:
"Is the main thing bullying us for being women, or is it bullying us for coming from other places? He even tried to fool us! ”
When the principal heard this, he couldn't help touching his nose with a weak heart, and then replied in a louder voice:
"Oops! Where does Miss Mo start with this, we are also morally conscious in doing business, and we never make money with a clear conscience! I don't dare to deceive the specific situation of this house, I have already told you everything! ”
Mo Yanxi turned to look at the principal, and the words changed: "Oh? Is it? This house is facing Qi Mianshan in the west, the hexagram position is high, the white tiger looks up, the hexagram position faces the river around the city, and the vacant ground sinks, which is obviously detrimental to wealth and health, and it is a place where feng shui is unlucky, and the principal doesn't even know this? Why did the original owner of this house move his family? Don't you want to talk about it until now? ”
When the chief heard this, his forehead was already frightened by a layer of dense sweat, but such matters must not be said clearly, otherwise this house is afraid that it will be impossible to find a seller.
Thinking like this, the principal touched his nose and said boldly: "I really don't understand what Miss Mo said!" ”
Mo Yanxi raised his eyebrows and asked, "You really don't understand?" I'm not that mean person, and I don't have those taboos in the eyes of the world, if the lord treats each other sincerely, maybe there is room to go back, or does the lord think that these people who are looking for a house are blind, and they really can't see the doorway inside? ”
After Mo Yanxi finished speaking, he still hesitated when he saw that the main matter, and his desire to loosen his mouth was not strong, and then he said to Sakura Niang Xiangxue and the others:
"Let's go."
The principal was finally anxious, and hurriedly shouted, "Wait... Wait... Miss Mo really doesn't mind? ”
Mo Yanxi replied: "Naturally, as long as the price is right, everything else can be discussed, mainly because I don't like to be unclear." ”
When the principal heard this, he seemed to have made up his mind: "Okay, then Chen Mou will fight, the original owner of this house is called Li Minghao, who originally made a windfall in the area of Yubei, and came to Linyuan City to build this house here, but it didn't take long for the family to be in trouble, first the married daughter disappeared halfway, and it didn't take long for the lady to die of illness, leaving only one son to go out and come back stupid!" Ay! In less than a year, Wanguan's family wealth has been exhausted, and then a warlock was invited, the man said that the feng shui here is not good, it is easy to lose wealth and longevity, then Li Minghao is also afraid, it is said that there are some problems with the spirit, so he quickly packed up his things and went to the water town to ward off evil spirits, who expected that he would die violently on the street before he got out of Linyuan City. I have explained it all, and most of the reason why this house can't be sold is because the people who came to buy the house have more or less heard about it. ”
After listening to this, Mo Yanxi thought to himself that no wonder this house is not in demand at all, as for this feng shui, whether it is credible or not, Mo Yanxi still prefers to believe that it is man-made, and this matter sounds more like being retaliated against, it is estimated that it is related to the windfall he made in Yubei. It really fulfills the old saying--- people die for money, and birds die for people!
"I'm going to break another third." Mo Yanxi stretched out his palm and compared the numbers.
When the director heard this, he said: "Miss Mo, aren't you a lion opening your mouth, just this house is already much cheaper, don't you want me to do a loss-making business!" ”
Mo Yanxi said with a smile: "Master Chen, after I think about it, you shouldn't lose your capital, not to mention that the Li family has no one to live, most of the money from the sale of the house will be collected by you according to the order, and the reputation of this house, I can detect it as a little girl, you still expect to be able to pit one, even if you can meet a fool, you may not be able to point out where it will be that day, the house has not been repaired for a long time, and the wind and sun may not be able to sell it at such a price." Of course, if you feel that you are losing money, then we will just go, and we promise not to reveal the slightest secret of this house. ”
"This ...... In that case, how about we go back to trading? ”
Director Chen thought to himself that what Miss Mo said was not unreasonable, the price was lower, anyway, in the end, it didn't have to be given to others, it was also earned, at least this house was finally out, and it was also worth being happy.
"It's all up to Chen."
The three of them followed Mr. Chen to Beishi as a businessman. This house was originally two thousand two hundred and fifty taels of silver, but one-third of it was discounted, and only one thousand five hundred taels of silver was paid, and the handover of these related matters was done by Ying Niang, Mo Yanxi only signed, pressed a handprint, and began to chat with Director Chen.
"Does Director Chen know where to find a craftsman who works neatly? I'm also new to this place, I don't know much about everything, seeing that Director Chen is so sophisticated, I must know the way very well, I don't know if I can give me some advice? ”
Mo Yanxi's words made Master Chen feel extremely comfortable, and he was in a very good mood today, so he also chattered.
"Miss Mo is here for the first time, Chen is also the host, naturally want to give the girl a good science popularization, some people in the North City have their own free-range craftsman heads, it is more convenient to do things, if not, most of them will choose to go to the East City Repair Workshop to hire craftsmen, there are many famous craftsman leaders to lead the team to hang up, the more famous is Zhao Xian Zhao craftsman, that one-handed carving skills, even the craftsman head in the mansion may not be comparable, as well as Wang Siyuan Wang craftsman, the process of building the embankment bridge and the long pavilion is also first-class good, The others are relatively ordinary, of course, there are some gardeners and other craftsmen who do other things, I see that there are very few people who follow you here, there is also a flat service workshop in this East Market, which is full of people's teeth, specializing in the sale of servant maids, if you are short of people, you can go there to see. ”
"Director Chen really has a wide range of connections, this repair workshop and the peace workshop will inevitably run a few more times in the future, thank you Director Chen for his guidance, Yan Xi has benefited a lot today."
The two chatted for a while, until Sakura finished the matter and got the title deed, and the three of them left in a carriage.
