Chapter Seventy-Two: You... What did you say?

Now that he has put aside his cruel words, it is absolutely impossible for Luo Qinghe to step into the Fang Mansion again.

After sending someone to find Fang Shaoze, Luo Qinghe repeated Fang Cai's Cao Yabao's opinion in detail, Fang Shaoze thought for a while, and said: "This thing is not difficult to do, when I was a child, I heard my grandmother say that she wanted to come to Guangling to buy real estate, and then I don't know why it was shelved, if we can build a house, then my grandmother will be able to settle here in the future." But after all, it costs so much silver, and we have to think about it in the long run! ”

Since Fang Shaoze also agreed to buy a house, Luo Qinghe was relieved. The two played a few words, and when Luo Qinghe was just about to say goodbye and leave, he saw Granny Wen laughing with her.

Luo Qinghe's face turned cold, and he left without even looking at her.

Granny Wen also felt that her situation was a little shameless, and she just wanted to talk to Fang Shaoze, but found that Fang Shaoze also regarded herself as air without saying a word, and turned her head and entered the house.

In fact, Fang Shaoze has been very indifferent to Granny Wen for the past two days, which made Granny Wen very sad, and was just about to go into the house to apologize to Luo Qinghe for taking a sole or something, but he met Qi'er who came to deliver cakes.

Since Fang Shaoze moved out of Fang Shaojun's yard, Qi'er went back to continue serving Fang Shaojun. But after getting along for so many days, there are still some masters and servants.

When Fang Caiqi'er went out, she met a peach crisp seller, so she bought a pack of Fang Shaojun and Fang Shaoze each, and now she said that she would give Fang Shaoze this peach crisp.

Granny Wen has been neglected in Fang Shaoze's courtyard for the past two days, and now she finally saw a person who could speak, so she greeted her with a smile on her face: "Qi'er! Mother-in-law will help you hold it! ”

Granny Wen said that she was about to take the plate in Qi'er's hand, but she didn't want to be dodged by Qi'er sideways, and said coldly: "I don't dare to touch your side, otherwise what if you say that I colluded with you in the future?" ”

I thought that I would finally be able to recruit people, but I didn't think that even the maid in the second young master's courtyard would treat me like this, and Granny Wen's smile instantly froze, and she didn't say anything for a while.

Seeing her pitiful, Qi'er felt a little sympathetic in her heart, but when she thought that Luo Qinghe was forced away because of her that day, she also gritted her teeth and bypassed Granny Wen.

Looking at Qi'er's back in a daze, Granny Wen was about to hide back in the house with a disappointed face, but was suddenly stopped by Fang Jinglin's newly transferred chief manager.

"I said Granny Wen, since I came to this courtyard on an errand, there are some things I have to say! You're so old, it's better to know how to act in the future, after all... We're all minions! ”

This has always been only when Granny Wen dislikes others for having no rules, and when she heard that she was accused, Granny Wen hurriedly said: "Why don't I know how to be proportionate?" ”

But the chief manager was not afraid of her, but sneered and said in a strange manner: "When did you understand proportions?" What is the name of a person who is a slave, and do you know what our lady's milk name is? If you really knew how to be measured, you would have changed your name a long time ago, why did you keep pretending to be stupid? What's the matter, is it possible to think that if you use the word of your wife, you can stain the master of the Fang Mansion? ”

When Granny Wen heard this, she was immediately aggrieved, and cried: "How do I know Madame's name!" Besides, this name was personally rewarded by Madame Zhai..."

As soon as she mentioned Fang Jinglin's ex-wife, the chief manager said sharply: "Shut up!" At the moment, it is Mrs. Qin who is in charge of the house! When you talk like this, are you not taking your lady seriously? I don't understand this at such an old age, so I'm embarrassed to educate others, take care of yourself first! ”

Granny Wen also knew that she had just said the wrong thing at this time, so even if she was reprimanded by this grandmother who loved her much younger, she didn't dare to argue, but just shrunk her neck and cried silently.

Seeing her pitiful appearance, the chief manager didn't say anything, but left a sentence coldly: "It's good that you have a long memory!" Change the name now! ”

After the chief manager left, Granny Wen dared to vent her grievances, and hid back in her room while sobbing.

But although the person hid back, the rumors outside the window did drill into Granny Wen's ears word for word.

"She just deserves it! It's clear that I'm a minion, and I can't get used to seeing this and that, and I still want to educate the eldest young master, I'm phew! ”

"That's right, she is an old woman who is half buried in the loess, and she is angry with the little girl all day long, which is really disrespectful to the old! This man really doesn't have any stomach at all! ”

"Who's to say it isn't? also framed Miss Luo for sending her a message, I think she just wants to use the identity of the young master to covet the things of our Fang Mansion! Tsk, I don't know if it's the reincarnation of a poor ghost, why are you so greedy? ”

"Poor Miss Luo has been with her for so long, and she was sold by her for so many reasons! She has no conscience! ”

Although these words seemed to be secretly discussed by the maids and grandmothers of the Fang Mansion, listening to the clear volume of this word, Bacheng deliberately said it to Granny Wen.

But Granny Wen still didn't understand in her heart, she was clearly trying to protect Fang Shaoze that day, but why did she fall into such an ugly reputation?

The next morning, Fang Shaoze went to rent a yard with Luo Qinghe.

This time, Cao Yabao also specially called his colleague, Ge Yabao, together. This Ge Yabao looked a little honest, and after he came, he didn't talk so much nonsense, but took the two of them straight to a five-room courtyard, but when the two of them heard the price, and then looked at the noisy and noisy atmosphere nearby, they shook their heads very dissatisfied.

Ge Yabao understood, and led the two of them into an alley called Qinmoss Street, and at the end of this alley there was really a secluded and quiet chic private house.

What's more satisfying is that there is also a delicate pavilion in the lotus pond in the middle of this private house, although it is almost autumn, you can still see a pond of lotus flowers blooming just right in the pavilion, swaying in the wind in a thousand forms.

Fang Shaoze took a fancy to this private house at that time, and said excitedly: "How many silver taels do you need to buy this house?" ”

Ge Yabao hesitated a little: "To tell you the truth, many people have taken a fancy to some houses recently, but they have all given up because they are too expensive." But this house has been pressed on the hand is not a way, if the young master sincerely wants to buy, then I will go to discuss with the owner of this house, maybe... Five thousand taels is enough! ”

Five thousand taels?! Hearing this price, Luo Qinghe was a little reluctant.

But Fang Shaoze continued: "I look at the location is not bad, what kind of people are around?" ”

Ge Yabao said honestly: "There are two other households next to this, namely the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Officials and the Zuoqing Mansion of Dali Temple. ”

"What? How could these high-ranking officials of the second and third grades live in such a place? Fang Shaoze wondered.

However, Luo Qinghe also inquired about the location of this courtyard in the past two days, so he explained in a low voice: "This seems to be the habit of Guangling, and I also saw the mansion of high-ranking officials when I was in the temple that day. ”

When Ge Yabao heard this, he also patiently explained: "I estimate that those two adults either had a rich family before becoming officials, or their wives had rich families, otherwise they would never be able to afford to live in this courtyard!" Other officials who had no money had to rent a house or buy a courtyard to settle their families in remote places, such as temples, while they themselves lived in the government mansion and could only go home to see them on holidays. ”

Listen to what he means to say that the house outside Guangling City is cheap? The two of them looked at each other, and they were both a little tempted.

However, Fang Shaoze thought about it, but gave up this idea. After all, the outside of the city is not as heavily guarded as the inside of the city, and Luo Qinghe's girl's house is still more important.

When the two were hesitating, the Ge Yabao said again: "The reason why this house is only sold for 5,000 taels is because the house price has fallen a lot due to the war a few years ago, otherwise it would never be possible to buy such a good yard with this money!" But in the end, this is also a huge amount of money, Childe still spend more time to calculate, if it is really difficult, then I suggest that the two of you might as well rent a house first, take a step at a time! ”

In fact, if he was bent on forcing them to buy this courtyard, then Fang Shaoze and the others might not be moved, but seeing that Ge Yabao's words could be regarded as heart-to-heart, the two couldn't help but believe his words a little.

Luo Qinghe thought about the prosperity of the streets of Guangling, so he whispered to Shaoze: "According to the price of Guangling, if we buy this yard and sell it in a few years, it will probably be sold for eight or nine thousand taels, so it is better to treat it as an investment..."

Fang Shaoze also felt that this was reasonable, so he nodded and said to Ge Yabao: "Then you can go back and discuss, the owner of this house is willing to sell it for five taels of silver, then we will take over." ”

Seeing that he had this, Ge Yabao also nodded solemnly: "Then I'll try my best!" ”

Luo Qinghe thought that it would not be easy for this tooth to lead them to see the house, so he took out a few grains of broken silver and just wanted to thank them, but saw Ge Yabao repeatedly refused: "Don't worry, if you can really buy this house, then it's not too late to wait for the two of you to settle down and reward the small one!" ”

Seeing him so realistic, Luo Qinghe was no longer defenseless against him, nodded and took back the silver and thanked him solemnly.

Ge Yabao waved his hand and said, "If I go to talk, then the results will be available in these two days, so please wait for me in this Guangling City recently!" ”

"It's okay, you can come to us at any time." Fang Shaoze nodded in response.

But they waited for two days in a row, and neither of them waited for Ge Yabao's letter.

Today is the day when Fang Shaojun held a celebration banquet, although Fang Shaoze was a little worried, but this celebration banquet could not be avoided no matter what, so he had no choice but to go.

At noon, Ge Yabao suddenly hurriedly went to Zhou Da's mother's house to find Luo Qinghe.

"Girl, where is your son-in-law?"

"He has something to do today, if you have anything to say, tell me first!" Luo Qinghe was cooking with Aunt Zhou here, and when he saw Ge Yabao coming, he wiped his hands and greeted him with a smile.

"This is such a girl, I have discussed with the master's family several times in the past two days, and he has agreed to sell this yard to you for five thousand taels! But he also said that he would go out in the past two days, and our rule here is that buying and selling houses must be witnessed by the government officials, so he is now waiting in the court! Why don't the girl go with me to sign the agreement? ”

"Is this going?" Luo Qinghe suddenly felt uncertain, "But our son-in-law has something to go out now, can you discuss with the master's family and let him sign this agreement with you another day?" ”

"This can't be done, girl! The host is in a hurry to go out for something, and I don't know when I will come back! If it's really inconvenient for you...... Why don't I take you to another yard in the future?" ”

But the two of them had been running around for many days before they finally got their favorite, so Luo Qinghe didn't want to change it anymore, so he could only grit his teeth: "That's it, I just signed an agreement, I'll go with you!" ”

As he spoke, Luo Qinghe took off his apron casually, and hurriedly left with Ge Yabao with the silver ticket given to him by Fang Shaoze.

But when I arrived at the palace, I found that there was only a housekeeper left. The housekeeper said that his master was impatient, so he told himself to get things done.

Luo Qinghe didn't care, and after confirming the details, he handed over the silver with one hand and the deed with the other.

When the dust settled, Ge Yabao took the reward and left with the housekeeper, leaving Luo Qinghe holding the deed and looking at it happily.

"How can there be such a person in this world who buys a murderous house and is happy to become such a person?" The officials on the side looked at Luo Qinghe's elated appearance, and were a little puzzled.

"Murderous house?" Luo Qinghe was startled, and was asking carefully, but seeing that the official seemed to be unwilling to make trouble, he shook his hand and hurriedly left.

Luo Qinghe instantly had an ominous premonition in his heart, hurriedly ran out of the door, and casually pulled a passerby: "Can you help me look at the words on this contract?" ”

The passer-by was also generous, and patiently read the contracts to Luo Qinghe, and said with a smile at the end: "Girl, your power is not small, you can even buy such a precious yard on Qinmos Street!" ”

As soon as Luo Qinghe heard this, he was even more panicked, and hurried to Qinmoss Street regardless of it.

But when I arrived at the gate of the courtyard, I found that there was a group of people who were busy cleaning the yard.

"Huh! What are you doing cleaning up my yard? Luo Qinghe hurriedly went up to stop him.

"Are you thinking you're blind? This is clearly my lord's mansion, why did we go out of the courtyard gate and become your yard? When the subordinate heard this, he shook off Luo Qinghe's hand as if he had seen a madman.

Luo Qinghe only felt that his heart was about to jump out of his throat at this time, and he raised the contract with shaking hands and said, "I have obviously bought it..."

The subordinate glanced at the deed, but said contemptuously: "Are you blind? This is clearly written on Qinmoss Street! We are here on Keqintai Street, which is a special place for the imperial court officials, what porcelain do you come to touch here? ”

As soon as these words came out, Luo Qinghe instantly felt top-heavy, and the whole person seemed to be stepping on cotton, and finally rushed to the address written in the contract according to the instructions of his subordinates, but what appeared in front of him was a dilapidated house that had been abandoned for an unknown amount of time.

Luo Qinghe gasped, and sat on the ground with his ass: It's over, I've been pitted!

The five thousand taels of silver were handed over to Fang Shaoze by Mrs. Fang as a dowry! Why did you just go up in the water like this!

At this time, the vendors who passed by here with their burdens saw Luo Qinghe sitting at the gate in a daze, and muttered suspiciously: "This girl is crazy, right?" How dare you sit in front of the murderous mansion? I'm not afraid to let the female ghost drag it away! ”

"You... What did you say? Luo Qinghe said blankly.

Seeing that she was a girl with a delicate face, the merchant reluctantly stopped, and persuaded, "Leave quickly!" Do you know what this place is? Behind this house is a secluded house, which is hell on earth! Those who died in vain had nowhere to go, so they all turned into ghosts and attached themselves to this house, otherwise this place would not be so desolate! ”

But before the vendor could finish speaking, even Luo Qinghe's face turned pale and he fainted.

"Girl! What's wrong with you, girl! Seeing this, the vendor hurriedly put down the flat burden, but in the end, it was in the way of the difference between men and women, and he didn't dare to reach out to touch Luo Qinghe, so he could only shout for help.

Just as he didn't know what to do, the merchant suddenly saw a magnificent carriage passing by.

"What's going on?" Hearing someone shouting something outside, the people in the car wondered.

But the steward who drove the car didn't seem to want to pay attention to it, and said respectfully: "It's not a big deal to go back to the Hou Ye, it's just that a girl faints, and the other people will deal with it!" ”

"Then we don't have a reason to sit idly by!" I only heard Qi Shanhou in the carriage stop the carriage in a deep voice, and ordered someone to carry Luo Qinghe into the carriage.

"Master Hou, I'll order someone to go back to the house and drive another carriage over!" When the steward saw that Qi Shanhou directly ordered someone to drive the carriage to the medical hall, he suggested with great foresight.

But this tall and handsome, scholarly but sickly Qi Shanhou waved his hand and said, "That's it, but it's just a few steps, let's walk!" ”

As he spoke, he saw him holding the steward's arm and slowly going to the secluded house. The brocade guards patrolling the gate seemed to be no longer surprised, bowed down and saluted, and let Qi Shanhou step into this "hell on earth".

When Luo Qinghe woke up, he found himself lying in the pharmacy.

"Little girl, do you feel better?" Before Luo Qinghe could react, he saw a kind old man and said with concern.

Luo Qinghe only felt dizzy at the moment, and reluctantly said, "Why am I here?" ”

Seeing this, Lao Langzhong hurriedly checked her pulse again, and then reassured: "You were too emotional, so you fainted." ”

At this time, the servant who was waiting quietly on the side suddenly held up a piece of paper in front of Luo Qinghe and said, "What you dropped just now, it should be returned to its original owner now." ”

But as soon as he saw this contract, Luo Qinghe burst into tears. This is Fang Shaoze's only remaining property! Right now, he was already struggling in the Fang Mansion, but he had stabbed him such a big basket at this time!

After all, the old man is used to seeing the world, and when he saw Luo Qinghe's description, he knew that she had encountered a lot of trouble, but he was already a handful of years, and it was already reluctant to prescribe this medicine, and he had no spare strength to help her.

Can... These servants also seem to have come from rich and noble families, I wonder if they will have a way? Thinking of this, the old man subconsciously looked at the faces of the servants.

But these people didn't mean to help, but just said indifferently: "Since you're fine, then let's go back and resume our lives." The money for the medicine is over, so take care of yourself, girl! ”

Luo Qinghe knew that he had received help from others, so he said in a hoarse voice: "I'm tired of everyone!" Please tell me your door, and I'll be there another day to thank you! ”

Hum! How can the dignified Qishan Marquis Mansion look at your fluttering thank you? The servant didn't look down on Luo Qinghe from the beginning, and when he heard this, he shook his head and said, "That's it, our master is not greedy and vain, so there is no need to thank you." ”

With that, the group left.

Yes, what is the ability to reward others for your current situation? As soon as Luo Qinghe thought of the basket he had stabbed, he cried sadly again.

Seeing that Luo Qinghe was really sad to see Lang Zhong, although he couldn't help, it was good to comfort one or two, so he said: "Little girl, although the old man has no great ability, if you need enlightenment, we can also talk!" ”

Luo Qinghe was uncomfortable in his heart at this time, so he was not polite, and explained what had just happened.

After hearing this, the old man sighed and said, "Little girl, it seems that you have also been deceived by that group of people!" In fact, Guangling has long had such a precedent, and now if you go back to find it, it will be fruitless..."

"Then that's all we have to do?" Luo Qinghe was full of despair, why was he so impulsive? Why can't you wait for Fang Shaoze to come back and discuss it before deciding? How dare you sign an agreement for such a big thing!

Seeing her so remorseful, the old man could only try his best to comfort him: "Alas, don't be afraid, I think you are just a little girl, and it is forgivable for being unguarded!" Do you know that once upon a time, a wealthy merchant bought a yard for more than 9,000 taels of silver, but when he looked for the address on the deed, he found that there was no place at all! Now you have a yard too! ”

But Luo Qinghe couldn't listen to the comfort, but said hurriedly: "What is the result?" Did the rich businessman later track it down? ”

The old man shook his head helplessly and said: "It's pointless to track this matter down or not, after all, when you find someone, I'm afraid that the silver will also be spent..."

"But don't be too desperate, I seem to know the address you just said, it is said that the yard is actually very large, and it used to be a place where extremely prominent people lived, and it would be good if you cleaned up well! Actually, I don't believe in those ghosts and gods, but if you are really afraid, you can also ask someone to come and do the practice, and please honor the Bodhisattva or something! You're still young, but you're just losing some money, and you have a chance to earn it back in the future! It's not like I ......."

The old man seemed to remember the past, and said a little choked: "I used to have a very virtuous wife, and she gave birth to six children for me, but then the war broke out in Guangling, and they died in the war one after another, and only I, an old immortal, have been left to live alone until now." ”

When Luo Qinghe heard this, he thought of his family in Luoquan at that time, "You have practiced medicine and saved people all your life, and you will definitely be rewarded!" If you don't dislike it, you can call me a granddaughter! I'll take care of you in the future! ”

As soon as he heard this, the old man said with tears in his eyes: "In the past, I looked at my children, and I looked forward to the day when I became a grandfather, but now... But finally someone fulfilled my wish! ”

As the two spoke, they couldn't help but cry more and more sadly.

In a pavilion in the secluded residence, the tall and handsome Qi Shanhou was sitting in a daze at this time, but he suddenly felt an inexplicable sadness in his heart.

My lord didn't know why his eyes were red, and the steward hurriedly stepped forward to persuade: "Master Hou, it's cold, let's go back to the house!" ”

Qi Shanhou was stunned for a long time before he said slowly: "What happened to the girl who fainted just now?" ”

Fang Cai Jia Ding came over and said that she was just too tired and had come to her senses now. ”

Qi Shanhou nodded after hearing this, and didn't ask any questions, and then led the housekeeper back to the house.

A few fallen leaves suddenly drifted into the gloomy gazebo, and they landed right on the scroll, covering the small lines.
