Shopkeeper Miao didn't know the identity of the buyer at first, and when he accompanied Qiu Xiang to see the house for the first time, he just thought that the other party was an ordinary big family. Today, Zhong Nan deliberately revealed a little information, saying that he was on an errand in the palace. Seeing that the other party's style and momentum did not look fake, the shopkeeper Miao did a fierce ideological struggle for a while before telling the truth.

"I'll tell you the truth, this homeowner has a special requirement for selling the house!"

"What special requirements?" Zhong Nan asked puzzled.

"It stands to reason that I can't disclose the specific information of the seller, but I only made an exception to tell you when I saw that you really wanted to buy this house." The shopkeeper Miao made a look of embarrassment, "This homeowner is also a poor person, her relatives are gone, she lives in such a big house alone, I am afraid that if I don't say it, it will not be wasted, so the homeowner pondered and simply sold this house." ”

"But if you sell this house, a new problem will arise."

"What's new?" Zhong Nan was a good listener and caught the words of the shopkeeper Miao in a timely manner.

"I sold the house, where does this owner live, she is alone in Beijing and has no relatives to take refuge into."

"That's just as well." Qiu Xiang is very considerate of others.

"If you sell your house, won't you have money? More than two hundred taels of silver, buy a small house in Jingshi, and there is still a lot of money left! Zhong Nan came up with an idea.

In fact, what Zhong Nan said is a good solution. At this time, the house price in Jingshi was not expensive, and fifty taels of silver could buy a small courtyard with a side house. A two-entry house like the one I see today will definitely be the level of a villa in the future, plus the location is good and the area is large, so it can be sold for a high price of two or three hundred taels.

Regarding the housing prices of the Ming Dynasty, there is an event that can be used as a reference: during the Chenghua period, the imperial court issued house purchase money to the descendants of the surname Zhu who were divided into various places, and the emperor's elder brother, younger brother, uncle, uncle, etc., each could receive thousands of taels to buy super mansions; The emperor's cousins, cousins, cousins, and cousins each received a few hundred taels to buy ordinary mansions; Those who are a little more estranged, such as the fourth nephew of the third grandson of the second uncle of Xianzong's family, can only receive less than 100 taels to buy an ordinary house. This is evident from this.

Shopkeeper Miao denied Zhong Nan's suggestion, "That's what I said, but the owner of the house has lived in this house since she was a child, and she is full of deep feelings for this place, so she is willing to buy a place to live elsewhere." ”

Zhong Nan was a little confused when he heard it, if he was reluctant to sell it, it was a big deal not to sell, could it be because he was short of money? But people who can have such a big house shouldn't be too short of money, right? I couldn't figure it out, so Zhong Nan asked the shopkeeper Miao to make it clear.

"Shopkeeper Miao, what is the situation, you give me a direct explanation, don't beat around the bush!"

Shopkeeper Miao rubbed his hands, pursed his lips again, and finally explained the situation like squeezing toothpaste.

It turned out that the owner of the house did not have any extra money except for this house, and it seemed that even life was about to become a problem. So she came up with a solution, which was to hope that after the house was sold, the new landlord would be able to leave her a room in the backyard. In this way, she can still live here every day, not only does not have to endure the pain of separation from the old house, but also has a source of livelihood, more than two hundred taels of silver she can use for twenty or thirty years by herself.

Knowing the reason, Zhong Nanxin said that this homeowner is really strange and can come up with such an unreliable method. Just ask who wants to buy a house for themselves, and have to set aside a room for someone else to live in, let alone have nothing to do with this person. So although Zhong Nan liked this house a lot, he couldn't agree to this strange request, so he had to find another place.

"Shopkeeper Miao, forget it, let's go and see the others."

"Don't mind, the owner said that as long as she can agree to leave her a room, she can accept it no matter how big or small. And...... And the price is negotiable, you all know the market, so it can be calculated cheaper than other places by hundreds of taels of silver. "I don't know if it's because the owner gave a high commission, or for some other reason, the Miao shopkeeper can sell so hard.

Qiu Xiang is a thrifty woman, and one of her principles is that what can be bought for one or two silver will never be bought in half. At this time, listening to the meaning of the Miao shopkeeper, there is still a lot of room for concessions at this price, so I became interested, "Miao shopkeeper, what is the psychological price of the owner?" ”

"Anyway, I have to get two hundred and ten taels of silver. As you know, the other houses are about the same size, but the price is close to three hundred taels. ”

Qiu Xiang didn't speak, implying that she felt that the concession was a little small. Shopkeeper Miao looked at Zhong Nan and found that the male owner didn't seem to care, and he didn't know that the female owner was the master of the house, so he walked up to Qiu Xiang and persuaded her.

"This lady, it seems that you are quite satisfied with this house, and I also think that two hundred and ten taels of silver is worth thousands of dollars. If you miss this village, you will definitely not find this shop again. ”

Qiu Xiang didn't speak, and the shopkeeper Miao said with a meat-cutting expression: "Ouch, this price is already the lowest, and if it drops again, I won't even be able to earn silver." ”

No one responded to the performance of the shopkeeper Miao, and after a while, he clapped his hands and made an expression of losing a fortune, "This lady, if I don't make my share of the money, I should pull you a repeat customer, two hundred taels, one point can not be less!" ”

Listening to the other party's categorical words, Qiu Xiang stretched out her hand and gestured, "One hundred and eighty taels of silver, one cent can't be more." If it's okay, we'll follow and get the paperwork done; If the shopkeeper Miao feels that he can't be the master, he can discuss with the owner. ”

"Hey, madam, you're too ruthless, I really can't be the master, why don't you discuss it with the owner yourself?"

"If you dare to do so, we'll discuss it with the owner. It just so happened that I wanted to meet the owner and talk to him about keeping a room. Akika also felt the need to talk to the homeowner.

"It just so happens that the owner of the house is also nearby, I asked her to come over, can you talk?"

Without waiting for the two to answer, the shopkeeper Miao slipped out the door. After a while, he came to the two with a woman who could not tell her age, and gave a brief introduction to the two sides.

"This lady, the shopkeeper Miao told me your offer, although it is indeed very low, but the little woman is also a cheerful person, so she will follow you." This woman claimed to be surnamed Jiang, her name was Mo, and she was full of momentum as soon as she came up.

Qiu Xiang looked at the other party carefully, and saw that this Jiang Mo was slightly shorter than her, about 160, and she had a very good figure, convex and backward, which was a rare type at that time. The face is a little round, very cute, and the skin is also very white, a proper beauty.

After seeing the people, Qiu Xiang then turned her head to look at Zhong Nan, who knew that her father-in-law smiled and spread his hands, meaning to let her decide. Qiu Xiang, who was authorized, immediately made a decision, "Since Miss Jiang is so simple, I won't drag the mud and water, but we have a request." ”

"Madame, please."

"We can promise Miss Jiang to leave you a room in the backyard, but this room can only be lived in by you, Miss Jiang."

Jiang Mo thought about it, and then responded cheerfully, "That's natural, I live alone, and don't worry, Madame, I'm very quiet on weekdays, and I won't disturb you." ”

"That's good." Qiu Xiang smiled, and then acted a little impatiently, "If it's okay, let's handle the paperwork now!" ”

Jiang Mo didn't expect that Qiu Xiang was more anxious than her now, and felt a little strange. But thinking that this house has been in the agency for almost three months, no one really wants to buy it, and today I finally met a buyer with real intentions, where can I let it go. And her intuition told her that Qiu Xiang was a good person to get along with, and her first sense and impression of Zhong Nan and his wife was quite good, so she put her mind at ease.

The documents were signed by each other, and then the deed, title deed, and silver ticket were exchanged, and after careful examination by both parties, it was confirmed that there was no danger, and the transaction was completed. After the shopkeeper Miao greeted both parties, he left first, and as for the commission, due to the strict laws of the Ming Dynasty, he was not worried about not getting it.

Jiang Mo saw the man's signature, so he said to the two: "Master Zhong, Mrs. Zhong, if Jiang Mo is disturbed in the future, the two of them should put it forward, and the little woman should correct it." ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." Zhong Nan didn't know what to say after answering, and the scene was a little embarrassing for a while.

Fortunately, Qiu Xiang seemed to have a very good impression of Jiang Mo, she stepped forward to hold the other party's hand, and asked kindly, "I don't know how old Miss Jiang is?" ”

Jiang Mo did not refuse Qiu Xiang's closeness, she smiled at Qiu Xiang before replying, "I am twenty years old this year. ”

"That's not a few years younger, I'm twenty-five years old. If Miss Jiang doesn't mind, I'll call you my sister; Don't call me Madame, call me Sister. In the future, under the same roof, Miss Jiang and Mrs. Jiang screamed, which seemed too raw! Qiu Xiang redefined the relationship between the two, and without waiting for Jiang Mo to express her opinion, she pointed at Zhong Nan and continued: "Don't call him master, since you and I are sisters, you can call him 'Brother Zhong' like me!" ”

Jiang Mo was stunned by a chaotic operation, and had to ask mechanically, "Is this appropriate?" ”

"It's not suitable, you and I hit it off at first sight. Well, that's it! Then, Qiu Xiang pulled the frozen Jiang Mo and walked to the backyard, "Let's go, my sister will take you to the backyard to choose a house." ”

Jiang Mo turned her head to look at the male host, and found that Zhong Nan was also in a stunned state like her, and couldn't help but smile. Then she turned around and disappeared in front of Zhong Nan with Qiu Xiang.

Zhong Nan didn't know what Qiu Xiang was going to do, but seeing that Jiang Mo was not like a woman with a complicated and suspicious identity, he said in his heart that he would toss with his wife, and he could just let the pro-soldier team pay more attention to Jiang Mo. He estimated that Qiu Xiang wanted to find a sister to talk to him or something. Zhong Nan stopped and thought about it, thinking that it would be good to do this, so as not to be too busy on weekdays and have no time to accompany his wife.

Zhong Nan touched his somewhat congested nose, recalled Jiang Mo's smile just now, and sighed in his heart: Lori with a childish face and huge breasts is really fierce, and her lethality is too powerful!
