It's just that there will definitely be no cheap farmland around here, the two went up and knocked on the door of the house, and after a long time, an old gatekeeper opened the door and looked at the two and asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”

Zhang San nodded and said, "Uncle, we heard that this house is going to be sold, but I don't know if your master is here?" ”

The old man nodded slowly and said, "Yes, please be in the two." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info go to the living room to rest first, and I'll call the young master over. ”

Zhang San and Li Si sat in the living room for a while, and a young man came to him in a hurry and said, "I heard that you want to buy a house?" ”

Zhang San nodded and looked at the visitor, only to see that his hair was unkempt, there was a smell of gunpowder on his body, and his clothes were also torn. I didn't know what kind of routine this was for a while, but when the man saw Zhang San look at himself like this, he also rubbed his head and said, "You guys sit down first, and I'll clean it up." ”

After a while, the young man packed up his decent clothes and stepped forward and said, "Xiao Ke Ling Zhen, I don't know the names of the two high surnames?" ”

Zhang San looked at his name and the way he dressed up, and knew that this guy was not a thunderbolt? Zhang San hugged his fists and said: "In the next Zhang San, this is my brother Li Si." ”

Ling Zhen clasped his fists and saluted and said, "I've seen two of you, I don't know how much the two of you bid to buy this homestead?" ”

Zhang San and Li Si looked at each other, and Zhang San asked, "Why is this Ling Zhenxian brother so urgent?" This house is not ....... ”

Ling Zhen waved his hand awkwardly and said, "Sir, don't worry, there is no such thing." It's just that Xiao Ke is in a hurry to use the money to make a move. ”

Ling Zhen saw that Zhang San looked at him and didn't speak, so he sighed and said: "It's all to blame for my recklessness, last month I was in my uncle's fireworks shop in Dongcheng, Beijing, making firecrackers and accidentally ignited gunpowder, although I avoided in time and only suffered minor injuries, but several stores on the street suffered a lot of losses, and my relatives and husband both died tragically, leaving only a young son who was still studying." ”

Ling Zhen said in a tone: "I deliberately sold the fields and mansions here, repaid the losses of a few stores over there, and raised my nephew to adulthood." That's why I'm so anxious, and I hope the two of you don't blame you. ”

Zhang San shook his head and said: "This gunpowder is the most taboo open flame, even the slightest spark may have the risk of exploding, why is Brother Ling Xian so careless." I just saw you with a hole, and your body is full of gunpowder, why is this? ”

Ling Zhen scratched his head and said, "I was configuring a stone cannon potion material, and I tried to light it this morning, but the explosion was too ...... urgent." ”

Zhang San smiled: "Oh? Brother Ling can also make a stone throwing car? ”

Ling Zhen shook his head and said, "That's a military artifact, where do you dare to make it privately." It's just a model to study one or two. ”

Zhang San nodded and said, "Brother Ling still has such a hobby, it's really strange." In this case, what is the price of Brother Ling's mansion and field? ”

Ling Zhen hesitated for a moment and said, "The price of my house is 500 guan, and the land is 68 mu and 1 mu and 30 guan, totaling 2,500 guan. ”

Zhang San is also not familiar with this price, looking at Li Si, Li Si said: "The price of the third brother is too high, the good fields around the capital are only more than 20 yuan, and this house is worth 300 yuan at most." These give 1,800 at most. ”

Zhang San nodded and said: "Brother Ling also listened, otherwise, we will pay a price of two thousand yuan, if Brother Lin agrees, we will ask Baozheng to handle the contract, if not, we will look elsewhere." ”

Ling Zhen sighed and said: "That's it, what this Fourth Brother Li said is also the truth, these fields and mansions are worth at most 1,800 yuan, and some people have recently tried to take advantage of the fire to rob them, and the quotation is 1,12 yuan, and the highest is only 1,500 yuan." It's still Brother Zhang's benevolence. In that case, let's go to the village to sign a contract. ”

Zhang San said: "Brother Ling also looks like a real person, unlike the kind of person who deliberately deceives us by inflating the price, let me ask more, is it because those compensation must be 2,500 yuan?" ”

Ling Zhen said ashamedly: "Exactly." Those reparations must be more than 2,000. ”

Seeing Ling Zhen, Zhang San nodded and asked, "If we buy the mansion, where do Brother Ling and his family want to stay?" ”

Ling Zhen clenched his fists and said, "Naturally, we are renting a small courtyard in the capital, and the younger brother is making a living. to support his mother and nephews. ”

Zhang San nodded, thinking that this guy was Ling Zhen nine times out of ten, thinking that he had not yet arrived at the official mansion on an errand at this time, Zhang San said with a smile: "I, Zhang San, am not a person who takes advantage of the fire to rob, how can I buy your house and let your mother and son sleep on the streets." ”

Zhang San stood up and walked around and said: "That's it, I will pay Brother Ling 2,500 yuan, and you will use it to repay the loss of those shops, I have a house on the north bank of the Wuzhang River in Beicheng, at the coking wharf, and your mother and son can move to live with me." I am lacking a person like Brother Ling in charge, Brother Ling has succumbed for the time being, and he has a good opportunity in the future to find another job. ”

Ling Zhen said happily after hearing this: "Brother Zhang is noble, and he is worshiped by his junior brother Ling Zhen." ”

Zhang San helped him up and said, "Alas! Why bother. ”

Ling Zhen got up and said, "In this case, the third brother should also move to me to sign the contract at the Baozheng Office and go to Kaifeng Mansion for the record." ”

Zhang San shook his head and said: "There is no need to do this, Brother Ling only needs to write a loan document to me, I will temporarily borrow Brother Ling's manor for use, in the future, Brother Ling will have the remaining money to pay me back, how about returning the house to Brother Ling at that time?" ”

Ling Zhen was surprised: "How can this be done?" Why don't you please be a witness? ”

Zhang San waved his hand and said, "Alas, I believe in Brother Ling Zhen!" ”

Ling Zhen's eyes were red with emotion and said: "Ling has no relatives in Tokyo, and he is about to live on the streets, today the third brother is really like a reborn parent, please accept Ling Zhen's worship." ”

Zhang San helped Ling Zhen up, the two wrote a contract, Ling Zhen took Zhang San to visit the house, Zhang San first went to meet Ling Zhen's mother, Ling Zhen told his mother what happened, Ling's mother wiped her tears and thanked Zhang San for her benevolence. That nephew lived in Ling Zhen's mother's yard, and the five or six-year-old child had not yet adapted to this sadness, and the whole person was a little sluggish.

This courtyard is laid out in two courtyards, the courtyard is laid out in a square, and the backyard is divided into two independent courtyards, where Ling Zhen and his mother live. The whole courtyard is nine rooms long, nine rooms wide, and the courtyard is enough to use. Now there are only three people living in the entire courtyard, Ling Zhen, Ling Zhen's mother, and an old housekeeper.

Ling Zhen took Zhang San to see these lands again, it was already November, and the winter wheat had been planted in the field, looking at a patch of green wheat. Zhang San asked, "Brother Ling, did you grow this wheat from your family?" ”

Ling Zhen shook his head and said, "These are all rented by nearby villagers, and my family only planted half an acre of vegetable land. ”

Zhang San nodded, it seems that he has to destroy the land to compensate Qingmiao money, fortunately, this money is not much, Zhang San nodded and said: "So Brother Ling and I went to Zhuangzi to withdraw the money, and I found and paid off the arrears." Tomorrow, I'll have someone come over to pick up Brother Ling and his family. ”

Ling Zhen nodded and said, "Brother Zhang, wait a minute, I'll go and tell my mother." ”
