If this basin of water is of great benefit to their own family, why should they rush to splash it? How much she can't think of forcing such a granddaughter to marry?

If Zhao Ruxi hates to marry and wants to marry early, she, as a grandmother, will not stop her granddaughter from getting married; But isn't this the granddaughter herself who doesn't want to get married? Then keep her for two more years and let her help her mother's family, wouldn't everyone be happy?

Zhao Ruxi didn't have time to think about these things, she didn't practice calligraphy after she came back, she took a charcoal pen and wrote and drew on white paper for a while, and then fell asleep.

The next day was the day to make an appointment with the Chinese people to see the house, and she went out according to the appointed hour, and saw the Wang Zhongren in the south of the city, whom she had seen yesterday, standing not far from the gate and waiting for them.

Ma Sheng hurriedly stepped forward to say a few words to him, and Wang Zhongren got into his mule cart to lead the way in front, and Zhao Ruxi's carriage followed behind and went to the south of the city together.

The carriage drove through the city for a meal, entered the city, turned left and right, and finally stopped in front of a door. The king's men got out of the wagon.

Zhao Ruxi also got out of the car, first looked at the width and cleanliness of the alley, and found that the alley was a width that could accommodate two carriages walking side by side, and it was paved with bluestone slabs, clean and tidy, she nodded with satisfaction.

Wang Zhongren took out the key, opened the door, and introduced: "This is a two-entry courtyard, with more than 20 rooms inside and outside, and a row of back cover rooms at the back. The original owner was originally an official of the Ministry of Rites, because Ding Wei returned to his hometown. He is over 50 years old, has only one son, and he is nearly 40 years old before he can pass the examination, and he is afraid that the imperial examination will be hopeless in this life, so he plans to sell the house and return to his hometown to settle down. ”

Zhao Ruxi went in and took a look, this is a square house, the front and back courtyards, the house is a little old, the walls are black, and everywhere is very ordinary. The most important thing is that there is no well in this house. If you want water, you have to wait for the water seller to bring it in with a water truck and spend money to buy water.

The amount of water used by a family is counted, and there is nothing to buy water. But if she was going to use it to polish jade, it would be difficult to say how much water she used. It's good to have a well.

As for digging your own well, forget it. If there was water in this house, a well would have been drilled when the house was built.

She asked, "What is the price?" ”

"Five thousand eight hundred taels of silver." Wang Zhongren said, observing Zhao Ruxi's expression.

They are the ones who are middle-of-the-envelope, and they eat the food of the words and the colors.

If Miss Zhao is satisfied with this house and is moved to hear such a price, then this business will not run, and he needs to bite this price; Miss Zhao is satisfied with the house, but it is too expensive, so she bargains; If he vetoes it directly, the house he introduces next will have to change his thinking.

This price was as expected by Zhao Ruxi.

There is nothing wrong with this house, and in such a location, the price is naturally high. In addition, the owner is not in a hurry to use the money, even if he does not sell it, he keeps it and rents it out, and there is a certain amount of income every month, so he must be biting the high price. She didn't have to spend so much money on such a house.

"How many other houses are there? She asked.

Wang Zhongren knew that she didn't like it, so he thought about it and replied, "There are two more." ”

"Then let's go check it out."

The king led her to the next place.

The next house is a little worse, the alley can only accommodate a carriage, and the road is a little uneven, and the houses on both sides are not as neat as the first place, some houses are big, some houses are small, but it can be seen that they are all serious and honest people.

"Who are the people living in these houses, do the kings know?" She asked.

In fact, there are many Chinese people in the south of the city, and there are not only Wang Zhongren. Why do the people of Dali Temple recommend Wang Zhongren? That's because the people of Wang Zhong are not as rough as other Chinese people, and he will often invite the officials in charge of this area of security to eat and drink, inquire about all kinds of gossip news, and learn about the situation of each household in this area.

Unlike modern times, there was a large floating population. Once you live here, it is often a couple of decades, so it's relatively easy to get to know the situation. After several years of accumulation, Wang Zhongren almost knows the situation in this area.

"This household lives in a family of deputy commanders of the Five Cities Terracotta Division; This is a house for a lot of people......"

As soon as Zhao Ruxi heard the identities of these residents, he was satisfied with the location of this house.

It's all a bit of an identity, but it has nothing to do with the family, and it's even further away from the royal family. That's good.

The house just now was full of officials. Although the official position is not high, the highest is only four or five grades, but the connection with the court is too close. Although what she did was not an unseemly deed, she was able to stay away from the court, and there was still a lot less trouble.

Wang Zhongren unlocked the lock: "Miss Zhao, please." ”

Zhao Ruxi walked in and looked at the house.

The area of the house here is larger than the one just now, and there is a back garden, and there are about 20 houses, but they are not so neat. What satisfies Zhao Ruxi is that there is a well here.

Wang Zhongren figured out her psychological price and offered a price: "This house is cheaper than the one just now, only 4,500 taels of silver." ”

Zhao Ruxi nodded.

After looking at the two houses, she had a general impression of the housing prices in this time and space. In comparison, she would rather have this house than the one just now.

The use is different, and the requirements for the house are also different. The place just now is more suitable for people who are officials to live in, decent. And she pays attention to practicality, this place is very good, and the most important thing is that the price is 1,300 taels cheaper.

But she remained silent and said, "Let's go, let's go and see the rest of the place." ”

Wang Zhongren was at a loss for the bottom of his heart, and couldn't help asking, "What kind of house does Miss Zhao want?" I think this house is good. ”

"Let's take a look first, don't rush." Zhao Ruxi said.

Then she followed the king to see the rest of the house. The area of that house is small, although it is also a two-entry courtyard, but there are many houses and small yards, which makes people feel cramped everywhere.

"These three houses, you can quote a real price, I don't think it's suitable. If it's not suitable, I'll pick it up in the west of the city. Zhao Ruxi said.

In fact, she could have asked the two Chinese to quote together after seeing the house in the west of the city. If there is competition in this way, they will definitely quote a low price.

But not to mention that these Chinese people were introduced by Dali Temple, which involved the face and favor of Wu Zong and the officials. only said that she would buy a house in the future, and her subordinates would inevitably deal with these people, and Zhao Ruxi didn't want to do things too much.

Bidding against each other may seem like she is very shrewd and can save some money, but it can be uncomfortable and too calculating. In terms of dealing with people, we should still be hello, I am good, everyone, and win-win together, so as to go further.
