Chapter 78: Buying a Grange (2)
Chu Xiumei thought for a while, and then bargained, "Six thousand taels, it can be, but I hope that the Xu Dong family can keep the items used for cultivation in this village and the ox and ox cart." After speaking, he also pointed to the ox cart tethered under the tree not far away.
After thinking about it for a while, Xu Dongjia nodded in agreement. "Okay, when will I go to the transfer?"
Chu Xiumei looked at the sky, it was not early, if she went to the mansion to transfer now, she would not be able to go home at night, so she took out a thousand taels of silver tickets and said, "Why don't you go tomorrow morning!" Now it's getting late, we will go to the government office tomorrow morning to change the title deed, the silver ticket of 1,000 taels is a deposit, and the rest of the time to change the title deed will be given to you. ”
"Okay!" Xu Dongjia accepted the silver ticket and left happily, Chu Xiumei's family followed Steward Li and returned to the city in a carriage, and when they arrived at the gate of Qingshan City, Ran Wenyue took out a tael of silver and gave it to Steward Li, "It's hard work for Steward Li, this two pieces of silver Steward Li will take it to drink tea, and tomorrow you need to change the title deed and Steward Li will be affected, so help more, we will go back first." ”
"You're welcome, girl." Steward Li accepted the money and said with a smile.
As soon as they left, Chu Xiumei looked at Ran Wenyue with some heartache and asked, "Yueyue, why did you give that Li Steward a tael of silver, even if you help, you don't have to give so much money." ”
The twins also looked at Ran Wenyue with a puzzled expression, waiting for her to explain.
Looking at their appearance, Ran Wenyue said seriously: "Mother, do you know that a person like Steward Li who is in charge of the Li Mansion is how much is the monthly money for a month!?" ”
Chu Xiumei thought about it seriously for a while, and said: "I see which shopkeepers are almost one or two silver a month, this Steward Li is just a steward in the courtyard of the third prince of Li, and the monthly money should be about the same." ”
Listening to Chu Xiumei's answer, Ran Wenyue nodded, and then said: "What my mother said is good, but the monthly money of this Li Mansion is much more than that outside, this Li Steward is in charge of the Li Mansion, and every month before the month, there are two taels of silver, I give him a reward of one or two silver, in addition to expressing today's gratitude, tomorrow he will help us, we will be a little easier, with the relationship of the Li Mansion, the people in the mansion will not dare to embarrass us." ”
After Chu Xiumei listened to Ran Wenyue's words, she suddenly realized. "I see."
……
Early the next morning, the group arrived at the mansion, and Steward Li led everyone to rush to the direction of the mansion.
When they arrived at the gate of the mansion, Xu Dongjia was already waiting outside the door, greeting each other a few words, and Steward Li simply identified himself, explained his intention, and gave the yacha guarding the door ten cents, and the yacha diligently led them in to do things.
"Steward Li is polite, please come with me!"
This is the first time that Ran Wenyue has come to the biggest place in this county after coming to this other world, which one is curious, look left, look right, just like Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden, Ran Wenbo and Ran Wenxing also looked at it curiously.
This people don't fight with officials, although they came in with Steward Li, and it is also a half-serious matter, but this is the first time Chu Xiumei has entered the government in her life, and she is still a little scared in her heart.
Walked quietly all the way.
The yacha led them all the way to the place where the errands were done, and simply said a few words to the people in the office and left, the man's attitude when he looked at them instantly improved a lot, this time Ran Wenyue was very active in giving the clerk twenty yuan, the man's face was directly with a smile, and after asking the intention clearly, Xu Dongjia took out the pre-prepared title deed and house deed.
Xu Dongjia handed over the box in his hand, "This is the deed and the title deed, I have to work." ”
The man read it only cursoryly, wrote it down in a booklet, and finally stamped thirty land and house deeds and prepared a copy. After getting it done, the man archived the backup, and the original was given to Chu Xiumei, and Chu Xiumei also took out the silver in front of everyone and settled the balance for Xu Dong's family.
Xu Dongjia took the money and left happily, and Chu Xiumei also took the box and followed Steward Li out of the yamen.
Steward Li was the first to speak: "Mrs. Chu, if Miss Ran is fine, I will leave first." ”
"There is Lao Li in charge, you can take these broken silver, although it is not much, but you can also drink a bowl of tea, and I hope that Li will not dislike it." After Chu Xiumei finished speaking, she took out a few grains of broken silver and looked at Steward Li with a sincere expression.
"Thank you very much." Steward Li accepted the money, turned around and left.
Chu Xiumei looked at the box in her hand, then looked back at the mansion behind her, took a deep breath, her face was still a little incredulous, and then looked at Ran Wenyue and said with a smile: "Yueyue, I'm not dreaming!" We're rich now, too. ”
Looking at Chu Xiumei's appearance, Ran Wenyue also smiled, "Mother, we are already rich!" It's just that it didn't work before, and it was put there just ......"
Listening to Ran Wenyue's words, Ran Wenbo and Ran Wenxing also laughed stupidly, laughing and laughing Ran Wenxing suddenly remembered something, and then shouted happily, looked at Ran Wenyue and asked with some excitement: "Sister, can we live in the grange in the future, can we go to the school to take classes!" The gentleman at the private school said that we did our homework very well and that we could skip enlightenment! ”
