053 White lies
This sentence is not only applied to work and entertainment, but also in residence, and can also reflect the rationality of this saying.
In Yuyao County, the dignitaries like to live in the east of the city, the landlords and wealthy businessmen like to gather in the west of the city, forming the pattern of the east and the west rich, in the west of the city near the Jinshui River, there is a family, three in and three out of the house, the house sits north to south, the red wall is blue bricks and gray tiles, at a glance you know that the house has just been repaired for a few years, in front of the door is a crystal clear river, and the river is the willow that swings with the wind.
The breeze is light, the blue waves are rippling, the willow branches are gently swaying, the wind carries the pleasant fragrance of flowers, and the crisp calls of birds are heard from time to time.
This is the old mansion of the Yu family.
Or rather, this is the first home that the Yu family moved to Yuyao.
When Yu Jin's Lao Tzu bought this land, and after nearly three years of poor energy to build this house, after the completion of the wife, who hugged the pot-bellied poop, pointed to the newly completed house and said: "Ruoshui, this is our home, our roots, and in the future, our son will spread out here and carry forward the Yu family." ”
"Well, I'm in charge."
The scene in my memory seems to have happened yesterday, but now things are wrong, and the husband and eldest son who want to improve their lives by going to sea have not returned, and this house, which bears the hopes of the husband and wife, was also forced to sell to a wealthy businessman surnamed Li after the accident.
Looking at the familiar and somewhat unfamiliar old mansion, Yu Lin's eyes turned red all of a sudden.
There are too many memories here, and Yu Lin, who has always pretended to be strong, finally couldn't control his emotions and shed complicated tears at this moment.
Yu Jin said softly: "Mother, don't worry, my son will definitely redeem this house." ”
"Yes, mother, now that my brother is rich, he will redeem the house soon." Yu Yu saw that the old lady was sad, so she hurriedly took Yu Lin's hand and comforted her in a low voice.
Yu Lin hurriedly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his sleeves, smiled reluctantly, and said a little embarrassedly: "It's windy in this place, and sand is blowing into my eyes." ”
This lie is not clever, but neither Yu Jin nor Yu Yu has exposed it.
Soon, under the gaze of Yu Lin and Yu Yu, Yu Jin stepped forward and knocked on the door.
"Yu'er, do you think that Master Li is willing to sell the house back to us?" Yu Lin suddenly said with some concern.
Yu Yu nodded and said, "Yes, didn't my brother say it on the road, as long as you spend a little more silver, then Rich Man Li will definitely agree." ”
"I hope so." As Yu Lin spoke, his hand unconsciously pulled the corner of his skirt, and his eyes kept staring at Yu Jin who was talking to Menzi.
"Mother, look, my brother has entered." Yu Yu suddenly said happily.
Yu Lin also saw it, Yu Jin just waited for a while, and was taken in by his subordinates, thinking that after his son and Master Li had negotiated, he could return to the old mansion, and for some reason Yu Lin had an inexplicable excitement
Compared to Yu Lin's excitement, Yu Jin felt a little bad.
"Master Zhang, I didn't expect to see you here?" Yu Jin said with some surprise.
As soon as he entered the old house, Yu Jin saw a middle-aged man with a big belly and a cloth shirt, although he was wearing an ordinary cloth coat, but Yu Jin could still see that the bottom was made of silk, this dress was not strange, Comrade Zhu Chongba did not like businessmen, and felt that they would only speculate and oppress the people, so there was a policy of valuing agriculture and suppressing business.
It is estimated that Comrade Lao Zhu's revenge for being exploited by businessmen when he was young is a bit like formulating the official's fortune, Taizu approached the horseman and the shopkeeper directly, in his words, he wanted to be majestic and want to make money, it was a dream.
It's not strange to dress up, it's strange what is the identity of the person.
The middle-aged man with a big belly is surnamed Zhang, a famous man, and he is a well-known landlord in Yuyao, and his other identity is the in-laws of Yu Song, the former Yuyao Sect, Yu Jin recognized him because when Yu Song married his daughter, Yu Jin and Xiucai from the county school also went to the banquet, and they were familiar.
Of course, the congratulatory gift is indispensable, and the official of the teaching is very small, but there are still these "staycations".
The original buyer's name was Li Jincai, a businessman from a silk village, why did he suddenly change to Zhang Jiajun?
When I asked to see him just now, I only told the man that I wanted to see their master, and I didn't ask which master it was.
Rich Master Zhang snorted coldly and sneered: "Zhang bought this place half a year ago and used it for rest, why, Yu Gongzi has an opinion?" ”
"Don't dare," Yu Jin said a little depressed.
"Sending off!" Rich Zhang's sleeves fell, not to mention tea, even if he was polite, he didn't bother to owe it.
Yu Jin had a headache, this Zhang Jiajun is Yu Song's in-laws, and Yu Song was disgraced and exiled by himself, it is said that people who are close to Yuyao Yu's family have been beaten by Deng Yong and people in the autumn wind, and when they meet these fierce gods such as Jinyiwei, people who are not brainless will choose to scatter wealth and prevent disasters, and the loss of this rich man Zhang is definitely not small.
I guess I hate myself a lot.
"Wait a minute" Yu Jin immediately said: "For Master Zhang, this house is just another courtyard to rest, but this house is Yu's ancestral business, the gentleman has the beauty of an adult, and I ask Master Zhang to cut his love." ”
Rich Zhang glanced at Yu Jin's shabby clothes, and there was not even a valuable thing on his body, and he couldn't help but sneer: "Oh, how much silver can you take?"
"Six hundred taels" Yu Jin hesitated for a moment, and directly doubled the selling price of three hundred taels that year.
"Hmph, this silver won't be your so-called reward for reporting, it's a lot" Zhang Caizhu sneered and said: "When I bought it half a year ago, I used four hundred taels, and this half a year is to buy the ancient player's private money, and ask a famous craftsman to redecorate, you should keep your own flowers." ”
Zhang Caizhu's resentment towards Yu Jin is not light, not to mention the loss of a big backer, his son is also ready to ask Yu Song for help, after all, he knows the great master, and he prepared a thousand taels for Yu Song to do, but he didn't expect that something happened before it was done, and the silver was lost, and because of the relationship between relatives, he was also extorted by Jinyiwei for two thousand taels.
It adds up to three thousand taels.
Yu Jin immediately said: "Two thousand taels, please also ask Master Zhang to complete it." ”
It doesn't matter where Yu Jin lives, but this is the old lady's wish, even if she suffers a loss, she will admit it.
This house was built less than ten years, well maintained, the geographical location is superior, quiet in the middle of the noisy, the land price has risen in recent years, four hundred taels is enough, the rich man has renovated, to give a thousand taels has been topped by the sky, Yu Jin directly to give two thousand taels, ready to take it in one fell swoop.
Well, my brother is a brocade guard, he didn't oppress people, and he gave a very high price, full of sincerity.
"Yes," said the rich man without smiling, "gold." ”
Two thousand taels of gold?
This guy is crazy about money, or rather, he doesn't want to sell to himself at all.
It's quite a personality.
Yu Jin said with a wry smile: "Master Zhang, Yu is very sincere, please Master Zhang." ”
"If sincerity is useful, why do you need money" Rich Master Zhang was a little impatient and ordered the expulsion again: "Since you can't take out the silver, there is a right side at the door, please take it." ”
What a golden sentence.
If sincerity is useful, why do you need money, this is the same as the sentence of later generations, "If the apology is useful, why do you need the police" There is a different song, this Zhang Jiajun is clearly trying to be ugly, or in other words, deliberately disgusting himself.
After a while, the second eviction order was issued.
I can't talk about it anymore, and if I continue to talk about it, I will either stick a hot face to a cold ass or be a big wrongdoer, neither of which is Yu Jin's style.
Yu Jin's eyes rolled a few times, and he suddenly whispered, "Master Zhang, have you had any visions recently?" ”
"What do you mean by that?" Rich Master Zhang asked with some puzzlement.
Yu Jin lowered his voice and said: "I don't know why, I have been dreaming of my dead father and brother recently, they said that they said that they died miserably in their dreams, and they also said that they had recently gone home to see, Master Zhang, death is great, if there is any vision, you don't have to be too afraid." ”
"Ridiculous, a bunch of nonsense" Zhang Caizhu said with a sneer: "Ah Fu, Wangcai, send Yu Gongzi out." ”
"Yes, sir." As soon as the words fell, two strong men with tall oxen and horses stepped forward and prepared to forcibly send off the guests.
"No, I'll go by myself." After Yu Jin finished speaking, an imperceptible sneer appeared on his lips, and then swaggered out of this strange and somewhat familiar house.
As soon as they walked out of the gate, Yu Lin and Yu Yu, who were waiting on the side, immediately greeted them, and Yu Lin asked with a worried face: "Jin'er, how are you talking?" ”
Yu Jin said calmly: "Mother, this house has changed, it is no longer Master Li, it is a rich man surnamed Zhang, however, he promised to sell me, but it takes time to find a house and move, well, it is estimated that it will take half a month." ”
This is a kind lie, there is Yu Jin's filial piety, and there is also Yu Jin's strong self-confidence.
"Yes, yes, it takes time to move, okay, great" Yu Lin clasped his hands together and said: "God bless, this house has finally been redeemed, and I will definitely go to the temple to repay my vows and thank the gods." ”
Looking at the old lady who was about to cry in surprise, Yu Jin secretly decided: No matter what, within half a month, the house must be redeemed intact.
