Chapter Eighty-Two: The Competition in the North End of the New Bridge (I)

Wu Jin got up and went to the yard, fetched a bucket of water from the well to wash his face, although it was May, the well water was still cold and biting, and he shivered for a while, but the effect of going to sleepiness was also very good, and his drowsiness was immediately driven away without a trace.....

After washing, he gnawed a baked cake and slowly came to the front hall, before he entered the front hall, he heard the endless flow of talking and footsteps, this is the pedestrian passing by the door, the bridge west road that can grow weeds in the brick cracks before finally appeared pedestrians on the day, no wonder the fifth uncle was so excited, Wu Jin's heart also had an indescribable sense of achievement.

Who said that altering the Eight Immortals Bridge would destroy Feng Shui, now the land he bought for 11,000 taels of silver has appreciated at least twice in value, and soon it will appreciate more than ten times.....

There are already five or six guests in the lobby waiting for pawn items, if usual, there can be a guest at this time, the fifth uncle will be excited for a while, at this moment, Huang Fugui is wearing a pair of ancient reading glasses - a single photo, is engrossed in the value of the pawn for the guests, only to see the buddy Lao Qi and a guy are carefully carrying a pot of three-foot-high red coral slowly over.

"Childe, please give way!"

Wu Jin hurriedly dodged away, he was also an amateur jewelry lover in his previous life, this coral caught his attention, he saw that this coral was crystal clear, pure in color, and in excellent condition, it was a superb coral, "It's really good!" He exclaimed.

"Not bad!"

Huangfugui came over triumphantly, "This is our biggest business, this plant is worth five thousand taels of silver, if it is sold to the capital, it is worth ten thousand taels of silver, this is a maritime merchant, just this ticket, I earned five hundred taels of silver." ”

"Is there such a huge profit?" Wu Jin was a little surprised.

"Of course!" Huang Fugui smiled and said: "The reason why the maritime merchant is profitable is because he has been going to sea for a long time, and it will take half a year for a trip, and the interest rate is very high. Hey! ”

Huangfugui's face was full of flowers, and he smiled like a merchant.

However, he remembered something again, and his face immediately became bitter, "This vote will take up my four thousand taels of silver, fortunately I sold a lot of inventory some time ago, otherwise I wouldn't be able to do it." ”

He lowered his voice to Wu Jin, "I only have 1,500 taels of turnover principal left in my hand now, my head is big!" ”

"Fifth uncle, I was about to say it too!"

Wu Jin was a little embarrassed, he also wanted to do one thing, all the silver for repairing the bridge last time was handed over to Heimi, maybe it was a little worse, he happened to have no money in his hand, although it was a little difficult to speak, but he still said, "Can you lend me five hundred taels of silver first." ”

"Five hundred taels!"

Huang Fugui's eyes widened suddenly, and his head shook like a rattle, "No! That's not going to work, I want to borrow money myself! ”

After a pause, he himself felt that it was a bit excessive, most of the capital of this store was unpaid, why didn't he give it, so he had to ask with a bitter face: "What do you want money for?" ”

Wu Jin pointed to the opposite direction of the bridge, unable to hide the smugness in his eyes, "I want to buy the house directly opposite the bridge, I have been to see it a few times, two acres of land, at most three hundred taels of silver, I will add another one hundred taels, four hundred taels, it should be no problem, but unfortunately the master has not been at home, otherwise I would have bought it a long time ago, I heard that I will come back today, no matter what, I must buy it today, and then tomorrow I will let everyone understand that there will be no more temporary bridges, and I will sell that land for five thousand taels of silver, Isn't there enough turnover capital for the fifth uncle? ”

Before he finished speaking, Huang Fugui immediately ran back to the counter as fast as he could, carrying a heavy burden to him, "Here are five hundred taels of silver!" ”

.........

Qi Fengwu was going out early in the morning, she just walked to the lobby, and saw Yang Jingzhou holding a few bridge pattern designs to find the fourth uncle for identification, the bridge was finally demolished, Yang Jingzhou's heart to protect the bridge was also dead, all his hopes now are pinned on the new bridge, last night he found a bridge craftsman to draw a new bridge map overnight, set up a few bridge patterns, but he couldn't make up his mind, came to Qi Huan to help him decide.

"Fourth brother, what do you think of this new bridge diagram, it looks like a dragon, which is just in line with the feng shui pattern of Little Kowloon."

Qi Huan was entangled by him and had a headache, so he had no choice but to deal with him, "It's better not to use the dragon, it's easy to make taboos." ”

"And what about this one?"

Yang Jingzhou took out another one with great interest, "This is a butterfly bridge, the appearance is not only beautiful, but also the flow of people crossing the bridge can be increased." ”

Qi Fengwu walked past them with the maid, and she sneered, "Don't dream, do you really think there is a new bridge?" ”

Yang Jingzhou was stunned and stammered, "Three.... Three girls, what do you mean? ”

Qi Fengwu ignored him and continued to walk towards the door, Qi Huan couldn't hold his breath anymore, and asked her, "Third girl, do you make it clear and guess the dumb riddle for the fourth uncle?" ”

"Fourth uncle, think about it! And you, the proprietor of Yang...."Qi Fengwu stopped, glanced back at Yang Jingzhou with disdain, and tapped his forehead with his finger, "You use this place to think about it, who is the bridge repairer?" Why did he build you a new bridge? ”

After speaking, she turned around and walked out of Qianzhuang, walking more than twenty steps away, only to hear Yang Jingzhou burst out with a miserable shout, "I'm not alive!" ”

"What a stupid man!" Qi Fengwu shook his head lightly, and walked quickly towards the new bridge.

"Third Miss!"

Someone was calling him in the distance, Qi Fengwu turned around, only to see the shopkeeper Liu running up, she hurriedly asked, "Did Uncle Liu inquire?" ”

Shopkeeper Liu inquired all night, and finally asked about the situation of the Zhang family on the other side of the bridge, but Liang Yuanwai's family couldn't ask, but he thought that a friend might know, so he went to inquire before dawn.

He hurriedly replied: "Back to the third miss, I asked, and I also found that Liang Yuanwai." ”

Qi Fengwu's eyes lit up, and it was difficult to hide her excited gaze in a pair of beautiful eyes, "That... So is he willing to sell it? ”

"Alas!"

Shopkeeper Liu sighed and shook his head gently, Qi Fengwu's heart suddenly hung up, "Is he unwilling to sell, or is the price unnegotiable?" ”

"It's neither, it's that all his land here has been sold."

Qi Fengwu took a step back, a deep disappointment permeated her heart, her eyes that were shining with surprise just now also became dim, and sure enough, she was preempted, although she already felt something, but she still had a glimmer of hope, but now, the glimmer of hope in her heart also disappeared, she was silent for a moment, and then asked: "When was it sold, and to whom?" ”

"Miss, it was just sold a few days ago, only sold for 11,000 taels of silver, he sold all the land, he also heard about the bridge repair, and he regretted it very much, but there was no way, as for who to sell to, he refused to say, he said that there was an agreement in the contract, and he couldn't say."

Qi Fengwu nodded slightly, she can understand now, it is precisely because of the purchase of the land that there will be a talk of repairing the bridge, she pondered for a moment, and asked again: "Did he say that all the land was sold?" ”

"Yes! He said that there was no land left for him at the Eight Immortals Bridge. ”

"And what about the pawnshop?"

Qi Fengwu pointed to the Jin Fu Ji pawnshop in the distance and asked the shopkeeper Liu, "Is that pawnshop his land?" ”

"Yes!"

Shopkeeper Liu replied without hesitation, "The entire west of the Eight Immortals Bridge is his land, and so is the pawnshop." ”

Qi Fengwu completely understood, it is estimated that this is the case, ten ** is the young man in the pawnshop single-handedly planned, at this time, she saw Wu Jin come out of the pawnshop, carrying a heavy package, striding towards the new bridge, she did not speak, her eyes followed him, until he walked across the small bridge and entered the alley directly opposite the north end of the bridge, she was slightly surprised.

Immediately instructed the shopkeeper Liu, "Uncle Liu, wait a while, you will work hard to go to the county office, and then confirm who the land is sold to, this matter is very important, you go as soon as possible." Although Qi Fengwu had already guessed, she was very cautious, and she must see the registration of the transfer of the title deed from the county government before she could really believe it.

"Third Miss, don't worry, I'll go to Ding Xiancheng now, and I'll ask as soon as I can."

Shopkeeper Liu turned around and rushed to the county office, but Qi Fengwu was not in a hurry, she beckoned, called the carriage of Qi Dafu Qianzhuang, and sat on it with the maid, "Go to Tianjia Lane in the south of the city!" ”

..........

The north end of the new bridge is not a shop, but a residence, and there is only one shop on the north bank of the entire bridge, which is a Yang Ji pharmacy in the north bridge of the old bridge that was demolished, which is also the characteristic of the Baxian Bridge, the shops are concentrated on the south bank of the Zitong River, and the north bank is all residents.

The biggest feature of Weiyang County is that the shops are expensive, the residences are cheap, the shops do not refer to the street can be called shops, there must be business and popularity in the commercial gathering area, the vast majority of the houses are residential, the general residential area is also fifty taels of silver per acre, but this side is the Baxian Bridge, the land price is a lot more expensive, generally one hundred taels of silver per mu, the house he wants to buy is not big or small, there is a large vacant land in the backyard, the whole house covers an area of about two acres, the house is also very old, the land price plus the house price, It was worth three hundred taels of silver at most.

Wu Jin walked into the alley diagonally opposite the north end of the new bridge, walked a few steps to a gate, this is the family facing the north bridge, this is a poor family, Wu Jin has inquired in advance, the male owner's surname is Zhang, 30 years ago from Nanyang came to the Zhang family, now he is a private school teacher, by teaching for a living, there are only two daughters in the family, all of whom have already been married.

Wu Jin has been here several times, the owner is not at home, the neighbor said that he came back today, he knocked on the door, waited for a while, there was no movement, knocked hard, and after a long time he heard footsteps, "Who is it?" "The voice is very old, it is an old man, it should be the male host.

The door creaked open, and inside the door appeared an old man, not tall, with gray hair, that is, in his early fifties, but with a wrinkled face, wearing a half-worn jacket.

"Are you ....." he looked at Wu Jin suspiciously.

Wu Jin hurriedly introduced himself, "My surname is Huangfu, and I want to buy a house recently, but I don't know your house.... Are you interested in selling? ”
