Chapter 22 Buying a House

Zhang Maoxiu pointed out that Ning Xiu's basic skills are not bad, but what he lacks is the level of on-the-spot composition.

This can only be compensated for by a large number of essays.

But isn't the intensity of one article a day a little too much?

"What, Brother Ning Xian is unwilling?"

Zhang Maoxiu is a typical honor student, and in his opinion, it is not difficult to write an article a day at all.

If Ning Xiu even found this unacceptable, Zhang Maoxiu would not be very optimistic about Ning Xiu's academic prospects.

"Of course not. Since the younger brother has already worshiped Brother Mao as his teacher, naturally everything will listen to Brother Mao. ”

Ning Xiu gritted his teeth and said resolutely: "However, can the junior brother make a request." ”

"Brother Xian, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

At the same time as the younger brother wrote an essay, Brother Mao also wrote an essay. This comparison between the two is also beneficial to the improvement of the younger brother's composition level. ”

There is no improvement without contrast.

Relying only on the tactics of the sea of questions, Ning Xiu can increase the speed of writing articles at most. Without model study, it is difficult to improve the idea of the article.

The late Ming Dynasty already had a manuscript of Cheng Wenfan, but it was generally tried.

As we all know, the chief examiner of the township examination was temporarily dispatched from the imperial court, supplemented by Xuezheng as the deputy examiner.

Therefore, the topic is very accidental.

The examiner of the examination is generally a cabinet scholar, and the style of the question is very fixed.

It's easy to think in a stereotype just by looking at these anthologies. If you encounter an obscure topic, wouldn't you be blind?

Therefore, the ideal situation is to ask Zhang Maoxiu to also write an article, and read it as a model text.

In this way, it is the real support group.

"Well, that's not a big deal. Foolish brother promises you. ”

Ning Xiu was overjoyed.

"Haha, the little brother didn't bring anything with him this time, this piece of soap was given to Brother Mao, and Brother Mao can use it when he is bathing, and it is as smooth as silk."

As he spoke, Ning Xiu handed the soap in the wooden box to Zhang Maoxiu.

"This is the soap that everyone has been talking about these days?"

Zhang Maoxiu opened the box curiously, took the soap and played with it in his hand.

"yes, this is the soap made by the little brother?"

"What? You said you made this soap too? ”

Zhang Maoxiu was surprised, the person standing in front of him was not a demon, right?

Finger bread in front and soap in the back?

What's on his head?

But God was obviously fair, and gave him so many wonderful ideas, and the articles he made were extremely mediocre.

Haha, haha......

Ning Xiu didn't know that so many thoughts flashed in Zhang Maoxiu's mind at this moment, otherwise he would have to spurt out a mouthful of old blood.

"Brother Mao, what's so surprising about this? Now the sales of soap are even more popular than finger cakes. ”

Zhang Maoxiu's muscles twitched and said, "Then I want to congratulate my virtuous brother......

"Brother Mao doesn't seem to be very happy, huh?"

"Why, I have sand in my eyes."

Ning Xiu: "......"

"By the way, isn't Brother Ning Xian going to buy a house? It's not that a foolish brother is talkative, your current house is a little too small. ”

Ning Xiu sighed with emotion: "Jiangling rice is expensive, and it is not easy to live in a big place. Why doesn't the younger brother want to buy a new house. However, the housing prices in Gangneung City are too expensive, and the slightly better three-entry houses are priced at 500 taels. It's not easy to come up with such a large sum of money at once, for a small family like us. ”

That is, Zhang Maoxiu has a good cultivation, and when others heard Ning Xiu crying here and being poor, they would have jumped to their feet and scolded their mother.

I just took a thousand taels of silver from Sun Wufan, and I was embarrassed to cry poor......

How can there be such a brazen person in this world.

After pondering for a moment, Zhang Maoxiu said slowly: "Actually, the foolish brother knows a few good houses, and the asking price is also very fair. Less than 500 taels should be able to be won. ”

Ning Xiu was overjoyed when he heard this. He did want to buy a new house, but he was also afraid of being hacked by the brokers.

After all, he hasn't done much research in this area, and it's not that the brokers have to do what they say?

And Zhang Maoxiu is a rich and noble son, and he is in contact with the elite class, so he can skip the intermediary broker and directly contact the person who sells the house.

After all, whoever doesn't have a bad luck will also be down. In case he was in a hurry to show up, wouldn't he let Ning Xiu copy the bottom.

And there is an advantage to buying a house from the powerful, the lot must be first-class, and Ning Xiu doesn't have to investigate issues such as feng shui anymore.

"It's so good, it's just to bother Brother Mao to come forward."

"What do you and my brother say about bothering and not bothering? This matter is wrapped up in the foolish brother. ”

Zhang Maoxiu is an anxious person, and when he has an idea, he wants to implement it immediately.

"By the way, if Brother Ning Xian has time, Brother Fool can take you to see the house now."

Ning Xiu nodded and said, "It's exactly what I want." ”

The two of them left the house one after another and rode a sedan chair to the west of the city.

This was Ning Xiu's first time sitting in a sedan chair, and he only felt that shaking was more uncomfortable than taking a bus.

I really don't know why these dignitaries like to sit in a sedan chair, is it the kind of sense of conquest that others resist on their shoulders?

After about half a pillar of incense, the sedan chair finally fell.

Zhang Maoxiu lifted the sedan curtain and got off the sedan car first. Ning Xiu stepped forward and followed.

"Brother Ning Xian, how about you take a look at this house?"

Ning Xiu looked up, only to see blue bricks and tiles, flying eaves and arches, and a magnificent mansion appeared in front of him.

"I'm afraid this house is not cheap, right?"

I can't help it, I'm used to living a poor life. Now although Ning Xiu has some money in his hand, he has to spend it carefully, and he must not develop the bad habit of spending money lavishly.

"With me, the price is definitely fair. Come on. ”

Zhang Maoxiu took the lead in walking towards the courtyard, and Ning Xiu followed closely.

"This is the private residence of Lord Jia, the prefect of Jingzhou, and it cost no less than 500 taels to buy the house alone, and it cost a total of about 1,000 taels to repair the garden. Lord Jia's term of office is still one year, and it stands to reason that Lord Jia has no reason to sell this house. Unfortunately, a few days ago, the news of the death of Lord Jia's father came, and he needed Ding Wei to return to Baoding Mansion to guard filial piety for three years. ”

Zhang Maoxiu slowly explained to Ning Xiu: "Now Lord Jia has returned to his hometown Baoding Mansion first. Remaining in the house was his son Jia Zhen. A few days ago, he complained to his brother, saying that he was in a hurry to sell the house so that he could follow his father back to his hometown. As soon as Brother Ning Xian said that he wanted to buy a house, I remembered. ”

Belch...... The prefect's private residence?

Ning Xiu's eyelids jumped, and he quickly weighed the pros and cons.

If it is really as Zhang Maoxiu said, then there is nothing wrong with this house.

As long as this Jia prefect did not violate the laws of the Ming Dynasty, or gambled to get the house out, there would be no risk for him to buy the house.

ps: Regarding the sense of rhythm, it can't be too fast at first, so it's not easy for people to have a sense of substitution. Especially in life literature, the requirements for character portrayal are very high, but Lao Kun will definitely be fast when it should be fast.
