"Miss Zhao, what a coincidence. The villain was looking at the house nearby, and was about to look for you, when he saw your carriage. Li Zhongren said with a smile.

In order to avoid trouble, Zhao Ruxi's usual carriage has the symbol of Suipingbofu.

When she heard this, she was overjoyed and asked, "Is there any news from the house?" ”

"Exactly." Li Zhongren pointed to the next door, "The villain knows that the girl wants to be closer to the master and brother, so she started yesterday and went to the owner of the house next to the mill." Just now he finally relented and was willing to sell the house to the girl. ”

Zhao Ruxi glanced at him: "If he doesn't want to sell, I'll buy it farther." Don't force others. ”

People live well, and she can't do this kind of thing unless she forces others to sell it. This Li Zhongren is not trying to scare others in the name of Wu Zong, right?

"No, no, no, how dare the villain?" Li Zhongren hurriedly waved his hand, "His family has a large population, so the villain uses this to persuade him." It is also very good to have the money to buy a big house in a remote place and live more spaciously. Why crowd here? His family also agreed with the villain. ”

Zhao Ruxi was a little vigilant: "Then how much does he offer?" "Like this, the lion must open his mouth.

She has now bought two houses and shops, and has bought many subordinates, and she has to support these subordinates in the future, and she has no money left. If the price next door is high, she will inevitably have to live up to Li Zhongren's hard work.

"Two thousand five hundred taels." Li Zhongdao, he was also a little embarrassed, "It's about five hundred taels at a premium." ”

Although the housing prices in Bac Ninh are higher than those in other places, they are definitely not comparable to those in Beijing. For a house of such a lot and area, two thousand taels is about the same. Two thousand five hundred taels is definitely a high price.

"I asked him about the reserve price, and he stuck to it. If the price is too low, why would he sell it and buy it again? It's too much work. In fact, if the girl is not in a hurry, she can wait. Now that he is moved, if you pull him, maybe he won't be able to stand it, and he will lower the price himself. Li Zhongren is sincere and wants to do this business for Zhao Ruxi.

Yesterday, he could see that Wang Guangyao accompanied Lord Wu and Miss Zhao throughout the whole process, and his attitude was extremely respectful.

Bac Ninh is here with iron-clad battalions and flowing soldiers, and the county orders have come one after another, but these officials have not moved, and they are extremely powerful in Bac Ninh. The people of Bac Ninh would rather offend the county order than offend these officials.

Therefore, compared with Wu Zonglai, Li Zhongren values Wang Guangyao more. Wang Guangyao really respects the people, they dare not slack off, and they hope to please them.

"What is his house like? Don't let me spend a lot of money to buy it, but I still have to spend a few hundred taels to repair it. Zhao Ruxi said.

"Besides, I bought it, and they had to move as soon as possible. I was also in a hurry to buy it because I wanted to use the house. If they don't move for a year and a half, I don't have to buy him. ”

She thought for a while: "At most, half a month, I have to move out." ”

Five hundred taels of silver, for her, is to teach half a person more to paint. Because this location is rare, it happens to be next to her senior brother, and she also recognized the premium of five hundred taels. Just one thing, she will soon be using this house, and if the main family does not move out, or if it takes time to repair it after moving out, she will be in trouble.

"Because he offered this price, I also went in and took a closer look. The layout of the courtyard inside is good, similar to that of Lord Wu, and there are a few more houses. The flowers and trees are well cleaned up everywhere inside, and there are wells. The girl only needs to have someone paint the wall, and it's ready to go. Li Zhong said.

"As for the move, I can go and talk to him. If he doesn't agree to move as soon as possible, the villain will find another house for the girl. He pointed to the west, "Actually, there is another house for sale over there, the area is half smaller than here, it is a courtyard with a single entrance, and the price is not high, only 1,000 taels of silver." Because of the small area and the distance from here, the villain didn't mention it to the girl. ”

"Okay, then you can discuss it first. If he agrees, I'll go over and see the house later. Zhao Ruxi said.

Seeing that Zhao Ruxi didn't plan to think more about the price, Li Zhongren was sure of this business.

He stood up and bowed his hand to Zhao Ruxi: "Then the villain will leave first." So saying, he went to the next door.

Zhao Ruxi instructed Qingfeng: "Go next door and take a look, my master is not there." If you go and say hello when you're there, you won't be able to go if you're not. You go to the kitchen and get something to eat. ”

If she was a little lonely, she would not take advantage of the master, but would spend money to order food in the restaurant and ask someone to bring it.

But Zhao Ruxi's temperament is sparse, just such a little thing, if she cares too much, she will feel that she is petty and too angry, and the master will definitely be unhappy. The last thing she is afraid of is to owe financial debts, because she has confidence in herself in this regard and feels that she can afford it.

Qingfeng passed, and he didn't come back for a long time, Zhao Ruxi knew that the master was not there, and waited for Qingfeng to bring the food over with peace of mind.

Before Qingfeng could be waited, Li Zhongren came over and said to Zhao Ruxi: "Miss Zhao, I promised to move within half a month." Do you go to see the house now? ”

"Okay." Zhao Ruxi stood up, led Gao Weiqiang and Dianjiang, and followed Li Zhongren to the next door.

Probably Li Zhongren said that the buyer was a young lady from the Xungui family, and a lady in her thirties was sent next door to receive her, and Li Zhongren called her Mrs. Zhang.

Zhao Ruxi followed Mrs. Zhang around Zhang's house, looked at all parts of the house, and was barely satisfied with the layout of the house - after all, it was not built according to his own ideas, and there were always various things that were not very satisfactory. But buying a ready-made house is just that. It's good to be generally satisfied.

"Okay, that's it. When you see when you have time, let's go to the yamen to go through the deed. Zhao Ruxi said to Mrs. Zhang briskly.

"Miss Zhao, wait a moment, I'll let the maid ask our old lady now." Mrs. Zhang said.

When the group walked to the outer front hall, an old man in his fifties or sixties came out of it and arched his hand to Zhao Ruxi: "It is a great honor for Zhiwei to take a fancy to our house. The old man was fortunate to have a few words with Master Ling, and Senior Brother Ling had also met a few times. ”

Zhao Ruxi knew that he was a lifter. At this time, seeing that he said politely, he returned a salute and said apologetically: "Zhiwei is presumptuous, and wants to buy Zhang Weng's house, which makes Zhang Weng suffer from moving, which is the crime of Zhiwei, and I ask Zhang Weng to forgive him." ”

With that, she saluted again.

"Zhiwei layman Wan Mo said so." Mrs. Zhang's old face flushed, "My family is prosperous and wants to move, but they are reluctant to give up their old home, so they want to make Zhiwei Jushi retreat at a high price. I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed. ”
