Chapter 157: A House with a Garden

Chang'an was very suspicious that his father wanted to buy a house, but he actually wanted to be lazy and take advantage of the vacancy of the house to go out for a walk.

Fang Mingtong asked the tooth shop to find a house, he had just delivered a letter the day before, and there were three houses waiting for them to see the next day.

Aunt Tan ran back from the pastry room, found Fang Yue and asked, "Why did you get in touch with the embroidery brocade workshop?" The shopkeeper of the embroidery brocade workshop has just come, saying that the owner of the embroidery brocade workshop wants to see you. Speak very politely, it only depends on your time, and you have the final say on where to meet. ”

Fang Yue looked up at the sky outside, he had just had breakfast, he had a showdown with the shopkeeper of Xiujinfang yesterday, and he was going to meet today? It's fast enough!

"Then meet at the pastry shop tomorrow!" Fang Yue smiled and coquettishly said to Aunt Tan, "Auntie, leave me a private room, okay?" I'm going to talk to someone about business tomorrow! ”

Tan Shi responded without thinking about it, "Okay, okay, our chick is different, I just pulled a big customer when I entered Beijing, rest assured, my aunt will clean up the big flower hall when she goes back." ”

"I knew that Aunt Tan was the best." Fang Yue happily took Tan's hand and smiled.

Tan's doting looked at the chick, why is it rare to recruit people, and her daughter will not be coquettish, working all day long, telling her everything, I don't know if I really like it.

"When I came, the Ya store was already waiting, do you want to go to see the house? Are we really going to buy a house in the capital? "Tan can't believe that our village has enough money to buy a house in the capital?

Fang Yue nodded vigorously, "Before coming, the patriarch still said!" planned to open a few more shops, but the fourth uncle disagreed. Besides, we can't always borrow to live in the Guogong Mansion, the chicken essence powder workshop must have a serious place, there is a lot of money in the village public account, and it should be enough to buy a house. ”

Tan said with a smile, "That's it, the patriarch Boduo is a stingy person, with an extra tael of silver, his heart trembles with fright, if he doesn't really have money, he is reluctant to open a shop and buy a house!" ”

Fang Mingtong set up the car and took Fang Mingyuan's family to see the house.

The three sets of houses are selected by the tooth shop to suit them, the house at the mouth of the rice grain lane in the north gate, the outermost three shops face the street, and the entrance is a courtyard, and there is a well under the east wall, which is suitable for making workshops. The hanging flower door enters, which is also a courtyard style, and there is a row of back cover rooms on the back wall.

There are workshops and living functions, as well as shops for shipping, which is really suitable. Even Fang Mingtong said that with a row of back cover houses, as many boys in the village can live.

The price of the tooth shop is eight hundred taels.

"What? Eight hundred? Why don't you go and grab it? Fang Mingtong didn't hug it, and directly lifted out a sentence.

Fang Mingyuan put on the gentleness of a literati and said, "It's really suitable, I'm bothering you, it's really a small business, and there is not much money to spend!" ”

Dong Xiaoying silently calculated on the side, a can of chicken powder earns 400 wen, 800 taels of silver, and she has to buy 20,000 cans of chicken powder to earn it back, it's terrible!

Chang'an stood aside and was silent, before coming, the patriarch gave his father a thousand taels of silver tickets, and eight hundred taels were still out. The house is so expensive, though! The same house in Leping City costs three hundred taels of silver.

Fang Mingyuan and Fang Mingtong bargained with the broker of the tooth shop, you came and I quarreled for a long time, and only gave twenty taels of silver cheaper.

"Sir, if you are really not satisfied with the price here, there are two more, why don't you take a look at them again?" The tooth broker really doesn't want to entangle, these two people are too good to say.

The other is at the mouth of the mule and horse alley in Nancheng, which is also a three-entry house with a pavement and a house, and a small garden that is not large, asking for 700 taels.

Fang Mingtong has already taken a fancy to the first house, this side is obviously not suitable for opening a workshop, and the horse selling is almost the same.

All the way to Dongcheng, the carriage stopped outside the black lacquer gate, and Yaxing politely said to the porter that he was coming to see the house and would not walk around.

Dong Xiaoying pursed her lips and whispered to her husband, "My God, come and see the house and don't let you walk around, then look at a yarn!" ”

Fang Mingyuan pulled her, "Let's go!" This house has cornices, and at first glance it is not an ordinary house. ”

Sure enough, the main entrance opens to a bluestone-paved pavement, wide enough to pass two carriages side by side. Ginkgo trees are planted on both sides, and the flower beds are neatly trimmed with flowers and plants.

Coming in from the gatehouse, there is a stable on the left, and you can't see the stable through the courtyard wall. The porter said that he had to go through the east corner gate to enter the stables.

Walking 100 meters ahead, on the right hand side is the courtyard of the male owner's outer study, and then on the left hand is another outer study.

The flower garden leads all the way, and the five halls to the south are furnished with sandalwood furniture, and the warm pavilions on both sides and the middle of the hall have doors leading to the back house. Walking backwards, there are halls on both sides, and there is a courtyard on each side of the hall.

The front is the hanging flower door, and there are five main halls when you enter, and there are wing rooms on both sides of the courtyard, and there are ear rooms. Behind the main hall is the master's courtyard, with a courtyard on the left and right sides.

Behind is the hug building, and then there is a courtyard surrounded by a garden, which is said to be the residence of the old lady of the house.

The garden is very large, and there are six or seven acres of land in a single pear garden. The lake water is said to be the living water that attracted it, and there are many flowers planted in the greenhouse, and there are gardeners in the garden, and there are rough people to clean them.

"Just take a look, let's go!" Dong Xiaoying pulled Fang Mingyuan away.

Chang'an whispered, "Sister, have you ever entered the park to visit, and you didn't buy a ticket through the back door." ”

Fang Yue nodded and said, "I have the feeling that Grandma Liu is visiting the Grand View Garden." ”

Knowing that this was a place he couldn't afford, Fang Mingyuan still asked the price.

Yaxing said, "This is the wedding house of Mrs. Wu'an Hou, and the concubine once lived here." Wu'an Houfu didn't have time to take care of this place, so he took care of his teeth and went out. Mr. Fang asked for a house with a garden, and I only have this one in my possession at present. ”

Isn't it okay if I don't ask for it? Why are you scaring me with such a big house? "Hehe, it's very good, it's good! But I'm just a person, it's not suitable to live! ”

"This is the wedding house, and there is no overstepping, and the regular four-entry courtyard." The location is also very suitable, just in the middle of the inner and outer city, the front gate is in the inner city, and the back door is the outer city carriage street. ”

Fang Mingtong swallowed his saliva, this is a place where people live? Seeing that it is not bad for the Gongfu of the Kingdom, "Don't be arrogant, just say how much money it is, it's too expensive, let's not talk about calves." ”

The broker said, "The price here is three thousand taels, and if it is connected to the furniture, the slaves will ask for it together, and they will add another five hundred taels." ”

"What? How much? Dong Xiaoying said in her heart, isn't it tens of thousands of taels, three thousand can be bought?

The broker of the tooth shop smiled and said, "If you buy it together with everything in the house, it will cost you three thousand five hundred taels of silver." Mrs. also knows that this is the place where the inner and outer cities of Dongcheng meet, and the personnel are a little messy, but it is convenient to go out!

You see, when you go out from the side gate, you turn out of the alley and you will find Man Wah Street, and you will go out from the East Corner Gate to ......"

Dong Xiaoying pinched Fang Mingyuan, and told him with earnest eyes, I want to buy, bargain, bargain!

Fang Mingyuan nodded, "I know what you said, it's just that we don't need slaves, countrymen, we are not used to being served, furniture or something, it's really ...... Hiss! ”

The back was pinched by the daughter-in-law, okay! The daughter-in-law of the furniture took a fancy to it, "It's not appropriate to let people transport it back, it's just that five hundred taels is too expensive." ”

Dong Xiaoying stomped her feet angrily, why can't this person communicate with me!

"No, it's too expensive to afford. Let's go back! Let's go back! Dong Xiaoying pulled Fang Mingyuan and left.

The agent of the tooth store was stunned, this hostess is so strong, she dares to be the master of the old man outside?

Fang Mingtong is not surprised, there are more than 3,000 taels of things, you can't ask for it, it's good to live on the second floor of the small village in our village! It's so big that it's hard to sweep the yard.

"Let's go! Don't you look at what kind of people we are? Take advantage of a few coins in your waist! You dare to take us to such a house to see, really, crazy for money! Fang Mingtong stomped his feet, stretched out his hand and shouted in front of him, "Huh? Wait for me! I don't know where to go! ”
