180 to buy a house
Shopkeeper Qiu looked at the deserted shop, shook his head helplessly and sighed: "I'm a good person, but this business is not very good." ”
"It's not slowly recovering, it's all going to be fine." Lin Meiyi comforted.
The shopkeeper bowed, "Borrow your auspicious words." ”
"Let's go, let's go in and have a cup of tea."
The shopkeeper greeted warmly, Lin Meiyi followed, the two came to the back hall, drank a cup of tea first, and then the shopkeeper Qiu said:
"There is news about the matter you asked me to inquire about, there is just the owner of a mansion near the Chongwen Pavilion who is preparing to move to Fucheng, and it is estimated that he will not come in the future, and he wants to dispose of this mansion."
"I heard that it was renovated just three years ago, and the furniture in the house is still new."
"The house is not big, just a small courtyard with two entrances, at the back of the street, a bit of a quiet meaning."
Shopkeeper Qiu took another sip of tea, and then asked: "Few people know about this news, I also asked an acquaintance to inquire, if you think it's good, let's go over and see it immediately, otherwise it's too late, and people may sell it." ”
"Isn't this year's scientific expedition in our county going to be postponed until September? Their son is an apprentice, and he has already rushed to the state capital in advance to prepare for the scientific examination of Gongsheng, and it is estimated that he is in a hurry to make points, and he is not very rich, so he is in a hurry to sell the mansion in the county. ”
"If you feel agreeable, we can give the price more generously, and take it down at once, so as not to have too many dreams at night!"
Shopkeeper Qiu was afraid that Lin Meiyi would not be able to understand why she took the initiative to increase the price, and reminded:
"This house is only half a street away from the Chongwen Pavilion, and the corner is the gate of the Chongwen Pavilion, this house alone is worth it, and there are many academies around, and there are people at home who are studying, the most suitable."
Hearing the words of Shopkeeper Qiu, Lin Meiyi automatically jumped out of her mind with the words "excellent school district room".
Take it, you have to take it!
"Let's go, shopkeeper Qiu, take a look!" Lin Meiyi got up and urged.
Shopkeeper Qiu glanced at her angrily, but he also knew that this matter could not be delayed, so he went out and called two sedan chairs and led Lin Meiyi away.
The two of them were lucky, the person who could call the shots happened to come from Fucheng today to move something, and led Lin Meiyi to look inside and out of the house.
This house is indeed good, it has just been renovated, and it is bright everywhere, and it is comfortable to look at.
There is a small courtyard in front of the two-entry house, and a well is dug in the yard, so it is easy to get water.
Lin Meiyi became more and more satisfied the more she looked at it, but she didn't reveal it on her face, and the owner couldn't figure out whether she liked it or not, so she raised her eyes to look at the shopkeeper Qiu.
Shopkeeper Qiu understood the meaning of the master's house, smiled secretly, turned his head to look at Lin Meiyi, who was studying the well water, and asked in a low voice:
"How? It's a good house, isn't it? ”
Lin Meiyi turned around and nodded lightly, "It's clean, it's okay, I just don't know the price......"
When the shopkeeper heard this, he secretly said that there was a play, and turned his head to the master's family and said, "Everyone is an acquaintance, you give a real price." ”
"One thousand taels."
Shopkeeper Qiu shook his head, "No, no, this is too expensive, less of it." ”
The owner's face was embarrassed, "This is already for the sake of our acquaintance, give you the lowest price for Shopkeeper Qiu." ”
Shopkeeper Qiu looked at Lin Meiyi and beckoned her to come over and talk about it.
Lin Meiyi stepped forward and said with a smile: "One thousand taels is fine, but today we will get the transfer of the county office, how about it?" ”
"Then I ...... these things"
"You can keep moving, I'm not in a hurry to live."
Lin Meiyi was so refreshing, the host had nothing to say, and after taking the silver ticket, he led Lin Meiyi to the county government to give her the house.
The formalities were done very quickly, because the person who did the work happened to know Lin Meiyi and sold her personal favor.
So, Lin Meiyi just had an extra house of her own.
She didn't take the key, the original owner wanted to move things, and she would come back tomorrow afternoon to get the key.
The house was easy to get to hand, and in order to express her gratitude, Lin Meiyi invited the shopkeeper Qiu to the largest restaurant in the county for a meal, and once again drank the shopkeeper Qiu.
When he woke up the next day, Shopkeeper Qiu touched his dizzy head, and there was only one thought in his heart.
Next time, I won't drink with Lin Meiyi! I can drink her down every time, it's too much!
"Whew~" let out a long breath of turbidity, feeling that his dizzy head was a little clearer, and the shopkeeper Qiu got up.
When she came to the embroidery workshop, the girl who made her angry was already waiting in the back hall, her face was ruddy, full of energy, and her complexion was not in the same state as her pale face.
The shopkeeper Qiu was angry when he saw it, stretched out his hand and wanted to poke Lin Meiyi's ruddy cheeks, and his fingers were held in the air for a long time, but he was finally defeated in the girl's smug smile.
"You say you girl, where did you get such a lot of alcohol at such a young age?" Shopkeeper Qiu sat down and looked at Lin Meiyi, unable to understand where she came from.
Lin Meiyi smiled and opened her mouth to make it up, "Born." ”
Autumn shopkeeper: "......"
Yes, she was convinced.
Rubbing his forehead, Shopkeeper Qiu asked the man to bring the account book and silver to Lin Meiyi to settle the bill.
"It's three hundred taels in total, you order." Shopkeeper Qiu took out the money, and it was three hundred taels of silver tickets.
Taking advantage of Lin Meiyi's money, she said: "A few young ladies came to ask me, how many sets of clothes do you want to customize in the Mid-Autumn Festival, can you accept them?" ”
"Of course I take it, why don't I take it if I have money to earn." Lin Meiyi put away the silver ticket with a smile and asked for details: "Do they know my rules?" ”
Shopkeeper Qiu rolled his eyes angrily, "Can you not know this?" Two hundred for beginners, five hundred for intermediates, and one thousand for seniors, right? ”
Lin Mei bowed her head and gave a thumbs up to Shopkeeper Qiu, "You are amazing, in this case, if there is an order in the future, you just need to help me next, how about I give you a percentage?" ”
Shopkeeper Qiu suddenly felt that his head didn't hurt anymore, his eyes didn't dizzy, he clapped his hands and smiled: "I think it's okay, then it's decided!" What size, the errand runner wraps me, you just have to make the clothes. ”
Lin Meiyi raised the teacup, the two touched a cup, the faint tea, and drank the pleasure of the spirits.
"That's right." Shopkeeper Qiu suddenly remembered something and asked tentatively, "Do you know the Qian family in the town?" It's the one that makes silk. ”
"Qian Hao?" Lin Meiyi asked uncertainly.
Seeing that she could even say the full name of the person, the shopkeeper Qiu guessed in his heart that there had been a result, and deliberately made a gesture of forced questioning, asking:
"I knew you knew! Quickly and truthfully, did you teach him the gradient satin? ”
"What's wrong? What happened again that I don't know? Lin Meiyi raised her eyebrows, a little curious about where Shopkeeper Qiu got the news from.
Seeing that she really didn't deny it, the shopkeeper Qiu suddenly felt angry, "You made money with the silver, do you know that the gradient fabric made by Qianjiazhuang is about to cut off my embroidery's life?" ”
Lin Meiyi was surprised, how could this be?
