Chapter 32 Buying a House
The two walked to the restaurant, and Xiao Er hurriedly greeted him with a smile on his face: "The two of you are settling out"
"Checkout" Liu Sheng looked at Xiao Er and replied
When Xiao Er heard that he was settling the bill, he hurriedly shouted inside: "The shopkeeper, there is a guest officer to settle the bill."
The shopkeeper hurriedly ran out of it, and when he saw that it was Liu Sheng and Jia Fu, he smiled on his face: "It turned out to be the two of you, but the small shop is not well entertained, why don't you stay for a few more days."
"Today, Brother Sima is going to take up his post, and the two of us are thinking about it. There have been a lot of disturbances in your store these days, and I really can't get rid of it, so I decided to check out first." Liu Sheng looked at the shopkeeper with a smile on his face, and said what he thought in his heart and explained.
The shopkeeper heard Liu Sheng say to check out first, and pondered for a while: "Don't worry, you are the people brought by Mr. Sima." All fees are free of charge at our store, and check-out is not in a hurry at this time."
"With the kindness of the shopkeeper, the two of us have discussed. If you plan to buy a house in the city, you can also settle down." After Liu Sheng finished speaking, Jia Fu handed the key in his hand to the shopkeeper.
When the shopkeeper heard them say that they were going to buy a house, he didn't keep it. As a result, the key, bowed his head and thought: "Buying a house?".
"If the shopkeeper has news about this, we are very grateful." Jia Fu looked at the shopkeeper and pondered, and hurriedly asked him.
At this time, Xiao Er seemed to remember something, and interjected to them: "Shopkeeper, didn't someone want to sell the house some time ago?"
"Come to remember, I have a courtyard here. A few days ago, a friend commissioned me to sell it. I don't know if you two of you, do you want to go and see it." When the shopkeeper heard the man's reminder, he seemed to remember that there was indeed such a thing. It's just that this time is relatively busy, but I forgot about it.
Liu Sheng glanced at Jia Fu and saw him nodding. So he said to the shopkeeper gratefully: "Then trouble the shopkeeper and take us to have a look."
"It's not troublesome, it's not troublesome, if it can be sold, it can also save my friends a worry." After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he hurriedly said to Xiao Er: "I'll accompany them to see the house, you work hard in the restaurant"
"Hey...... Shopkeeper, you can rest assured. We will definitely not, lazy and slippery" Xiao Er replied, turned around and walked to the other guys, and conveyed the shopkeeper's order.
The shopkeeper watched Xiao Er walk away, and smiled at Liu Sheng and Jia Fu: "Please come with me, two of you."
The two hurriedly followed the shopkeeper and walked outside the restaurant.
At this time, in a palace in Luoyang City, a young man in his early twenties was fishing and enjoying himself. The hook is clearly visible in the water, and the fish circle around the hook.
"Lord Wang...... Rajah...... Great joy......" The voice came from behind the young man, and the fish in the pond panicked and fled in all directions. Next to the young man stood a man dressed as a scribe, and he angrily scolded the eunuch who ran in a panic: "Bold, I didn't see the prince fishing to be quiet, what kind of body is panicked."
Chai Yong didn't turn his head, but still looked at the fish hook in the water. The tone was light, and he couldn't bring the slightest smell of smoke and dust: "What's the matter, so panicked."
"The prince is very happy, this morning the prince proposed to change the law, and the court was in an uproar." When the eunuch heard that the prince did not blame, he hurriedly and cheerfully told Chai Yong the good news.
Hearing the good news reported by the eunuch, Chai Yong was stunned, a fish bit the hook lightly, and the fishing rod was pulled. Big, fat fish that flew out of the water and fell to the ground.
"The prince is overjoyed, and now the court is full of conservatives. The prince made such a fuss, but he was afraid that the officials would be disgusted. In this way, His Highness can get a glimpse of the East Palace." The scribe beside Chai Yong hurriedly congratulated.
Chai Yong laughed, as if he wanted to spit it out in one breath, the depression in his heart over the years: "Chai Yu, Chai Yu, you are better than me." Isn't it just a good fate, as soon as he was born, he was the eldest son of the queen and the eldest grandson of the emperor. It is pressed on my head every day, and I have already accepted my fate, but I didn't expect you to kill yourself......".
Liu Sheng and Jia Fu looked at the courtyard in front of them, boxy with a bit of ancient charm. Jia Fu's eyes widened, and he rubbed it to make sure that it was not a dream: "Shopkeeper, this is ...... This...... It can't be someone else's ancestral home."
"Yes, this is my friend's ancestral home, and the floods in Jiangnan have just receded. People urgently need to rebuild their homes, and there are huge business opportunities inside. In order to raise the principal, he had to sell it in pain. I don't know about the two, but I'm interested." The shopkeeper looked at Jia Fu's exaggerated expression and asked.
Liu Sheng looked carefully, and the environment here was elegant. This courtyard reveals the classical charm all the time, and it is completely a mansion with history. Before coming, the village gave not gold and silver, but enough: "It's good here, how much does it cost?"
"No more, no less than one hundred gold, if you like it, I will give you one hundred gold." The shopkeeper looked at Liu Sheng and took out the lowest price in his heart.
When Jia Fu heard a thousand gold, he only felt dizzy. Dumbfounded, he asked the shopkeeper in disbelief: "Qian...... Thousand...... One thousand gold. Ordinary people's income is twenty taels a year, and you actually want a thousand gold"
"This is already the lowest price I can come up with, after all, it is someone's ancestral home." The shopkeeper's face was full of embarrassment, and he had brought people to see it before. But every time others hear the price, they shake their heads, if you really calculate it carefully, this thousand gold can only be regarded as half price.
Liu Sheng looked at the shopkeeper with an embarrassed look and asked him, "Can we go in first and have a look."
"Okay, I'll take you in" When the shopkeeper heard Liu Sheng's words, he felt that this was possible. There was a burst of joy in his heart, and he could finally give an explanation to his friend, just to solve his urgent need.
Liu Sheng and Jia Fu hurriedly followed the shopkeeper to push the door in. The courtyard is antique, with wings, living rooms, bedrooms, and study rooms. Behind the house, there is a garden and a pond.
"Shopkeeper, I'm afraid that your house will be sold cheaply. A friend told me before that a house with such a layout is at least 2,000 gold. If it's normal, money can't buy it." Liu Sheng looked at the layout of the room and the various bonsai and sighed.
As soon as the shopkeeper heard it, he knew that he finally met a person who knew the goods, and sighed to Liu Sheng: "Who said no, those people were outside the house before, and when they heard that they wanted a thousand gold, they turned around and left." If it weren't for my friend's trouble in Jiangnan, I'm afraid he would be reluctant to sell this house. Usually I want to buy such a house with a thousand gold, but I am afraid that I will wake up laughing."
"I like it very much here, if the shopkeeper doesn't have any special conditions, we will go to the government to trade." Liu Sheng looked at the house and couldn't help but be overjoyed.
When the shopkeeper heard Liu Sheng say that he wanted to buy it, he felt a little happy in his heart, but after being happy, he felt a little melancholy: "After all, this is the ancestral house where others live, I just hope you will cherish it after you buy it."
"Don't worry, shopkeeper, we will cherish it" Liu Sheng hurriedly assured the shopkeeper.
Jia Fu looked at Liu Sheng suspiciously: "Who taught you to see the quality of the house?" Is it another bull's nose".
"What a bull's nose, that's Mingyi Dao Chang. But he didn't teach me, it was Brother Zhou who told me the art of looking at the house." Liu Sheng looked at Jia Fu and called Niu Nose, and hurriedly helped him correct it.
When Jia Fu heard Liu Sheng say Zhou Bo, he shook his head directly: "Master Zhou, Wen Xuan." I don't like it either, but he plays it well."
"You're just hard-mouthed......" Liu Sheng shook his head with a wry smile as he listened.
The two followed the shopkeeper to the government office and went through the house procedures.
