Chapter 501: The Water Is Sweet
Song Ke naturally writes good characters, but he is reluctant to sign his name, Ma Du belongs to his own name, and he is despised by his eldest brother. Although his handwriting is not very good, it is not the turn of a businessman to make irresponsible remarks.
The gate was guarded, either with a broken hand or a lame foot, and there were long scars on the face, and some people had iron hooks tied to their broken hands, which looked very vicious.
In addition, there were one or two hundred people outside the door, and they were either old and young masters, or housekeepers of large families gathered together and muttered.
"Oh, isn't this Lao Huang?" Someone in the crowd greeted him.
Huang Youcai took a closer look, and it turned out to be his business partner, a seller of raw silk in Huzhou, "It's Lao Guo, why did you also move to Yingtian?" ”
"Who said it's not a mile, it's really unlucky, why did you put it on me." Lao Guo spread his hands and looked helpless.
"Shhhh This is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, not Huzhou, don't talk nonsense. How? You're also here to buy a house? ”
Lao Guo nodded, "It's not, it's too late, and now a family of eighteen people is crammed into a small inn, which is really aggrieved." Where do you live? If it's spacious, can you give me a few rooms for me to stay in? ”
"If I had a place to live and came here, it would be worse than you." Huang Youcai tiptoed and looked inside.
The lower part of the courtyard wall is brick and stone, and the top is an iron fence, and the situation inside can be seen clearly, only to see the green trees inside, the birds singing and the flowers are fragrant, the small river is murmuring, and the small building is even more exquisite and chic, and the light is brilliant.
Finally knew why the buildings here were glowing, the walls were tiled or glazed, and the doors and windows were inlaid with glass, he had never seen such a building when he traveled north and south, and he couldn't help but cry out in his heart.
"What a heaven and earth!" Huang Youcai muttered quietly.
"I also saw it when I first came to Yingtian, and I thought it was part of the palace." Lao Guo sighed and said, "Don't be too happy, I don't know if the house here is for sale." ”
Lao Huang couldn't help but be anxious, "What do you mean?" The houses here are not for sale! ”
"I heard that the house here is being sold by Uncle Guo to the nobles in the imperial court, you and I are both businessmen, how can we squeeze in."
"You said it was for the nobles of the court? Then you have to buy it even more, not only decent, but also meet a lot of noble people, and if you encounter difficulties in business, you can have a way out. There are so many houses, where does Xungui live, you and I are both businessmen, as long as we can afford the price, we can't buy the goods. ”
Lao Guo said with a smile: "This is true, there are a group of people in front of me who have made money for the steward here, and they have already gone in to take a look." No, it's already out! ”
I saw more than 100 people chattering around a very young steward, and the young steward was full of impatience, "I have said everything, I can't be the master of the house here whether it is sold or not, and I have to listen to my lord in everything." ”
A fat rich man said with a white face, "Then please ask the little brother, help me and wait to introduce the Hou Ye, I will definitely satisfy the Hou Ye with the bid, and of course I will not let the little brother work in vain." As he spoke, he handed over a piece of snowflake silver.
Guan Jia took the silver quietly, and his speech was still unpolite, "I want to see my marquis, and I don't want to see what my identity is." However, this house has not yet been sold, so I can pass on a message for you, and you will come back in a few days to inquire about it. ”
"Then there is Brother Lao!" Everyone turned around and dispersed, but when they saw the people outside the gate, they immediately suppressed the smiles on their faces.
Someone outside greeted the fat rich man, "How is Lao Meng's house here?" ”
The fat rich man frowned and said, "I can barely live, it's too hot, I'll go home first, and I'll leave you." ”
Lie to the ghost, everyone is a businessman, who doesn't know who, a broken pottery bowl can be blown into an antique in the Qin and Han dynasties, and it can also say that treasures are garbage.
Seeing that the gate was about to be closed, everyone hurriedly stopped it, guarding the door and waving a hook tied to the broken arm, "Do you want to find death?" If you don't get out of the way quickly, I've already said that this is not the place where you people live. ”
People are all cheap skins, the more they can't get it, the more they think it's good, and if they cry and beg for him to buy it, they can't look down on it, especially these self-proclaimed shrewd businessmen.
A sensible merchant had already handed over a piece of silver, "Please be accommodating, no matter what, let us take a look." ”
He looked at the silver and then looked at Guan Jia, "For the sake of the silver, why don't you let them go in and take a look?" ”
Guan Jia nodded, "Okay, don't look at it for too long, come with me." ”
Everyone followed Guan Jia into the gate and took a turn in the empty community, the scenery in the community is naturally needless to say, the public land is completely designed in accordance with the standards of Jiangnan gardens. It's just that these independent yards are smaller, only more than one acre, and two buildings have been built before and after.
"What are you muttering, the yard is a little smaller, but don't look at what kind of boundary this is, and when the city wall is demolished in the future, it will be next to the imperial city, you think it is your countryside, and the land can be bought and built casually.
Although it is said that there are two buildings, the location is carefully measured, and even on the day of the winter solstice, the sun can shine on the house behind it...... Alas, what am I doing with you in vain, what does this house have to do with you. ”
"That person is not sensible, little brother don't care, please take us to the house to have a look."
"Okay, then I'll take you to see, the things inside are expensive, don't move around!"
As soon as Guan Jia and everyone entered the house, everyone couldn't help but exclaim, "It's so cool in this room, it's so comfortable!" ”
As soon as you enter the house, you feel like two worlds inside and outside the house, and the inside of the house is refreshing and pleasant, as if it is autumn all at once.
Huang Youcai said: "It's a good thing that this house is cool in summer, but in winter, it won't freeze to death." ”
Guan Jia sneered and said, "Xiao Ke can let you have a long experience!" ”
He took Huang Youcai's hand and put it on a row of small holes with egg yolk thickness on the wall, "How do you feel?" ”
Huang Youcai's eyes widened, and he said incredulously: "Cold, there is cold air coming out of this hole!" Dare to ask the little brother what is the truth of this? ”
"There are a lot of porcelain pipes in the walls of this house, which can transport cold air made of saltpeter into the house, and in winter, it can be connected to the heat sink to heat the house, and there is no smoke in the house." Guan Jia looked at the soil buns, "Give you time to stick incense, and if you want to see it, you can watch it quickly." ”
A group of people are scurrying up and down the building, exclaiming from time to time,
"This glass window is open!"
"I see that there is no such ground to shine a human figure!"
"Oops, this lampshade is actually glazed!"
"There's a little well in this house, well, the water is quite sweet."
