Chapter 022 Buying a House
"Li Tou, someone is looking for you!" The messenger shouted into the house and left on his own.
The people in the room heard the movement, so they raised their heads from the bookcase, and when they saw the person clearly, they hurriedly greeted them: "Miss, why are you here?" ”
This person is the son of the Cai family, although he has been released, he still remembers the kindness of the Cai family.
Cai Xiang'er looked at the official room and smiled at the man: "Li Quan, you are really good now!" It's all called Li Tou! ”
The person known as Li Quan bowed down and smiled: "This is all thanks to the support of Grandpa Guo and Duchess Guo, so that there is a villain today!" ”
The two just exchanged a few casual words, and Cai Xianger informed Li Quan of the purpose of his trip.
Hearing that someone wanted to buy the house on Qingshi Street outside Yongsheng Gate, Li Quan looked at Shi Jinxiu in surprise, but people who have been in their line of work for a long time know the rules, and don't ask a word about things that shouldn't be asked.
"I wonder which house you have your eye on?" Li Quan found a schematic map of Qingshi Street and spread it in front of Shi Jinxiu and Cai Xiang'er.
Shi Jinxiu reported the house number of the house.
Li Quan was stunned when he heard this, and then he looked at the schematic diagram repeatedly, and then said with Shi Jinxiu very sincerely: "This girl, since you are a friend of our eldest lady, I will tell you the truth, since you have taken a fancy to the boundary of Qingshi Street and are willing to buy the house on Qingshi Street, I suggest that you buy all this street." ”
Bought the whole street?
Shi Jinxiu gasped when she heard this.
Where did she have such a big appetite to swallow a street.
Seeing Shi Jinxiu's reaction, Li Quan was not surprised, but knew everything with her, and said everything.
It turns out that although there are many houses on this street, they all belong to a rich family, but the rich family's family has a bad man who is obsessed with gambling.
So there were a lot of homeowners on that street.
Because it's not an ancestral property, everyone doesn't care so much, and now it can't rent a few dollars if you keep it in your hands, so it's better to sell it, no matter how little it is, it's money.
It is precisely because of this that these houses have been hung in the yamen.
Buy all these houses and turn them back into a big house...... To be honest, Shi Jinxiu is not unimpressed.
But it also costs at least more than 2,000 taels of silver, and she is shy in her pocket.
Unexpectedly, Cai Xiang'er on the side seemed to see her hesitation, so she pulled her outside the official room and asked quietly: "Haven't you seen the purse I gave you?" It contained 5,000 taels of silver tickets! ”
Five thousand taels of silver tickets?
So much?
Shi Jinxiu's eyes widened in disbelief.
She pinched the thickness of her purse just now, and thought it was the same as last time, it was one thousand taels.
"How can I collect so much money from the third princess?" When Shi Jinxiu heard this, she hurriedly took out her purse and returned it to Cai Xiang'er.
"Sister Xiu'er! Won't you treat me as a good friend? I didn't think that Cai Xiang'er would lose her temper because of this, "If I let my cousin know that I can't even do such a trivial thing, how can you let me have the face to go back?" ”
"As I said, for my cousin, this money is a trivial matter, so you can accept it with peace of mind!" As she spoke, Cai Xiang'er secretly pushed Shi Jinxiu with her shoulder, "Moreover, aren't you really impressed?" That's a whole house! Although the boundary outside the Yongsheng Gate is a little worse, it is not easy to buy such a house in the capital. ”
Shi Jinxiu naturally knew that what Cai Xiang'er said was true.
Now that money is no longer a problem, if she still hesitates, I am afraid that she will really miss the opportunity.
"I'll buy it!" Shi Jinxiu gritted his teeth and said.
When Shi Jinxiu walked out of the gate of the yamen with the deed stamped with the red seal of Jingzhao Mansion, he was still in a trance, feeling that all this seemed to be a little unreal.
"Sister Xiang'er, can I go back to Qingshi Street to have a look?" Shi Jinxiu asked about Cai Xiang'er.
Anyway, Cai Xiang'er, who had nothing to do, responded with her mouth full of words, and asked the coachman to drive the carriage back to Qingshi Street outside Yongsheng Gate.
Looking at someone else's house and looking at your own house are naturally two different feelings.
Seeing those broken walls and tiles again, Shi Jinxiu thought about how much money he had to spend to repair them.
Cai Xiang'er also smacked her lips on the side: "Although you bought this house and picked up a leak, I still don't understand why you are willing to buy this house, it is really cheap, and I can't see anything good about it." ”
Shi Jinxiu just laughed when she heard it.
A group of bare-bottomed children chased and ran past her, and the one at the end of the line fell to the ground in front of her.
Shi Jinxiu kindly helped him up, but the dusty child smiled sweetly at her, and said in a milky voice, "Thank you, sister!" He continued to chase after the children.
"The parents of these children don't know what to think, how can such a young child let them run outside at will? What should I do if I bump into it? Cai Xiang'er looked at it but pouted.
"Children from poor families, where there are so many exquisite, it is a blessing to grow up safely." Shi Jinxiu looked at the back of the child running away and sighed.
"In the capital, this is the only place that can make them run away like this." Cai Xiang'er said casually, but it made Shi Jinxiu think of the cries of those children in the sea of fire in the dream......
If this place is really burned, then these children ......
Shi Jinxiu fell into a very conflicted mood.
On the one hand, she hopes that the value of the house she bought will rise quickly, but on the other hand, she does not want these innocent children to be in danger.
This kind of emotion has been pulling her and keeping her awake all night.
After tossing and turning all night, Shi Jinxiu decided to go to Yu Wenyan.
Because she didn't know who else in the capital could prevent that fire.
"Miss Shi, it's really you!" Hearing that someone came to the Chen Ji Medical Hall to find the Great Commander, Dark Cloud felt that the person who came should be Shi Jinxiu, "The Great Commander has gone to the Yulinwei Battalion to train in the past few days, and he is not in the Yamen of the Suppression Division, what is the matter with you?" Can I convey that? ”
Let Dark Cloud help convey it?
Shi Jinxiu hesitated.
She didn't know how to explain the incident in the dream to Yu Wenyan, and if she asked Dark Cloud to help convey it, she was afraid that it would be self-defeating.
The miscellaneous house outside the Yongsheng Gate shouldn't be so easy to burn, right?
Because he couldn't recall the specific time when those miscellaneous houses were burned in the dream, Shi Jinxiu was somewhat lucky.
Wait a few more days...... It shouldn't matter, right?
