Chapter 165: Buying a New House
Early the next morning, Meng Zhen got up early.
It was inconvenient to practice martial arts in the inn, so Meng Hao took the hibiscus out for a run.
When she came back, she also bought a lot of steamed buns, fried dough sticks, tea eggs, salted duck eggs, egg cakes, fried cakes, potato cakes, and pumpkin pies......
Yan Zhenwu and Shunzi had also finished washing at this time, and when they heard the movement, they opened the door, and the first thing they saw was a large pile of dried lotus leaves and oil paper bags.
Meng Hao handed the snacks she was carrying to Junzi, "Xiao Er will bring you tofu brain and chestnut millet porridge later, you can eat it while it's hot." ”
Yan Zhenwu looked helpless, "You are a girl, don't go out early in the morning." ”
His voice was very low, and he looked cautious for fear of being heard.
Meng Hao smiled at him, "Uncle Yan, with my skills, are you still afraid that someone will trouble me?" ”
Yan Zhenwu was speechless by what she said, and was silent for a while before finally squeezing out a sentence, "People are sinister, don't think that you can solve all problems if you are good." ”
Meng Hao agrees very much about this, isn't this what things are like in this world, otherwise her father and mother would not have died under the greed of her own people.
When Yan Zhenwu and Shunzi had breakfast, Meng Zhen and the others went to a dental shop introduced to them by Sun Yaren.
This dental shop is the second largest dental store in Fucheng, and Sun Yaren's cousin Qi Yaren is in this dental shop.
Meng Zhen and Yan Zhenwu took Shunzi and Mu Hibiscus, and the four of them drove the carriage, and according to the direction of the inn's Xiaoer, they went all the way to Liujiayaxing.
When they arrived, the teeth of Liu's Dental Shop had just started work for less than two quarters of an hour.
As soon as Yan Zhenwu inquired, he found Sun Yaren's cousin Qi Yaren very smoothly.
The Qiya people had been waiting for them for a long time, and when they heard the little guy in the tooth shop say that a master surnamed Yan was looking for him by name, the Qiya people immediately hurried out.
As soon as the two meet, they naturally have to say a few words to each other.
Qiya people warmly welcomed Yan Zhenwu and others into the private room for hospitality, Yan Zhenwu did not be polite to him, after the two parties sat down, Yan Zhenwu directly asked Qiya people but had already helped them find a suitable house.
Qi Yaren touched his short beard and smiled at Yan Zhenwu, "There is no shortage of good houses in Fucheng, but this price is definitely better than Brother Yan expected." ”
He was afraid that Yan Zhenwu would not pay attention to the scientific expedition, so he patiently explained to Yan Zhenwu, "In more than two months, it will be the autumn season, and now the house is in demand, and the price has risen by about 20% compared with half a year ago." ”
Yan Zhenwu looked calm, "Brother Qi doesn't have to worry, we have been mentally prepared for this." ”
As soon as he said this, Qi Yaren immediately put aside his worries and introduced him and Meng Hao to the few mansions he had at hand.
"Now we have four houses with suitable locations, two of which are small two-in, one is a small three-in, and one is a three-way house with a cross-courtyard."
"Of these four houses, the two small two houses are closest to the Tribute Courtyard, the three mansions with the cross courtyard are the farthest away from the Tribute Courtyard, and the small three are about a quarter of an hour's walk away from the Tribute Courtyard."
After introducing the location that Meng Zhen was most concerned about, Qi Yaren told Meng Zhen and Yan Zhenwu about the respective layouts of the four houses, the new and old buildings, the surrounding environment, and the main selling price.
After listening to him, Meng Hao was the first to rule out the small second entrance that was closest to the Gongyuan.
Not only is the house extremely expensive, but it is also in disrepair and cannot be moved in immediately.
If they bought the house, she would have to spend at least another two or three months finding someone to tear down the house and rebuild it.
In this way, where can Su Shen still live in the new house in two months?
Passing the mansion that didn't meet her requirements when she heard it, Meng Hao offered to let the Qiya people accompany them to see the other three mansions.
The first thing they went to was the big mansion with things across the courtyard, Meng Hao liked this house very much, but it was a pity that the owner of the house refused to back down in terms of price, and she didn't bring enough silver taels.
In desperation, Meng Hao had no choice but to follow the Qiya people to the other two houses.
The remaining one is a small two in, the house is not new or old, you can move in after cleaning up, the seller's asking price is also very reasonable, the only fly in the ointment is that it is very close to the downtown street, and the house can clearly hear the shop guys outside and the loud shouting of the stall vendors.
Meng Hao didn't care about herself, anyway, she didn't have to concentrate on studying hard, but this was a noisy environment for Su Shen that tested his personal will.
In order not to affect Su Shen to continue to study before the exam, Meng Hao felt that it was better not to buy the house here.
So the group went to see the last small three-way building.
According to Qiya people, this is a new house that the owner has just renovated two months ago, and the owner was originally preparing to move in with his family, but just before moving, the owner's son suddenly waited for a shortage of county officials.
The family of the homeowner, who was overjoyed to receive the news, had already packed their bags and followed the new county governor to his place of office on the seventh day of receiving the news.
This time, their family will basically not return to their hometown except for sweeping the tomb and worshiping their ancestors, which is why the owner of such a good house is willing to change it.
Meng Zhen was very happy, after all, if it wasn't for the family's temporary decision to move out, she wouldn't have had this opportunity to buy such a house that suited her heart anywhere.
She glanced at Yan Zhenwu, Yan Zhenwu understood, and turned to talk to Qiya about the price of the house.
In the end, they bought this beautiful house with a small sanjin at a price of eight hundred and sixty taels.
This house is close to the Gongyuan, it is very convenient to come and go to the examination room, and there are wells in each courtyard, and the house is newly repaired, the house is beautiful, the flowers and trees are luxuriant, and you can live in it directly after cleaning.
Meng Zhen has also observed the surrounding environment, and found that not only is it quiet and convenient to live, but also the surrounding people are basically reading people with a little money, and the environment can be said to be first-class.
Meng Hao was very satisfied, she paid the money, and then put the house in Su Shen's name.
The moment Yan Zhenwu saw the deed, his face was full of three words - disapproval.
Meng Hao smiled and said to him, "Ah Shen has a sum of silver placed with me, and this time I bought a house, and I spent the money he deposited in my hand." ”
Yan Zhenwu was skeptical.
But thinking of Su Shen's words and demeanor, looking like the young master of a big family, Yan Zhenwu didn't continue to question anything.
