The weather just after noon was very warm, and some people wanted to sleep, but everyone in Yangxiahou Mansion was very energetic, racking their brains one by one to think about what requirements they needed for the new house.

In the end, Yang Xiahou said: "There must be a garden, and there must be a library." ”

"The garden and library are standard, Master Hou, you won't have the new yard we are looking for." Li Qiyuan nodded, looking at the people in Yangxiahou Mansion: "There's nothing else, so that's it?" ”

"That's pretty much it." Everyone in Yangxiahou Mansion nodded.

Li Qiyuan tapped his hand on the tree and continued: "What about the size? How big do you ask? The bigger this is, the more valuable it is, and the cash you will give you will be less, you need to know this, if the new house you ask for is too big and too high-end, then we may not give you the difference, and even you have to turn around and give us money. ”

"Then don't be too big, not too big."

The eldest son of Yang Xiahou nodded and said, "Yes, it's not big, it's enough to live, and give us more cash to use." ”

Li Qiyuan nodded, his family is in business, so he naturally cleared up these things, stood on a high place, looked at all the buildings in Yangxiahou Mansion, and said to Yangxiahou: "How much is the vacant housing price in your Hou Mansion?" ”

"There are no statistics on this, and we don't know how many rooms we don't live in, little brother, why are you asking this?" Yang Xiahou shook his head, a little puzzled.

Li Qiyuan waved his hand, "I don't need to know how many empty ones, how many of the ten rooms are occupied?" Didn't you say it's good to live enough? I'll look at how many rooms you need in a new house, because if you have more rooms, it's all money, and the more rooms you have, the less money you will be able to compensate for it. ”

Yang Xiahou said to the woman on the side: "Madam, you know how many people live here." ”

"There are about four rooms out of ten rooms, so you can come according to the ratio of three rooms out of ten, it doesn't matter if we squeeze a little, you can give us more money to live." Mrs. Yang Xiahou's words won the praise of the public, and everyone felt that it didn't matter if they squeezed a little, as long as they had more money.

Li Qiyuan nodded, "I have understood your needs, but I want to ask you a question first, there are two pieces of land, one is just land, and the other has new buildings standing on it, and the two pieces of land are about the same size, so is there much difference in the price of the two pieces of land?" ”

"Do you need to ask? It must be the one who built a new house, but it's not a little bit expensive. An old man in Yangxiahou's Mansion replied, this person is Yangxiahou's uncle, and his words in the mansion can be regarded as having some weight.

The young man who wore the clothes of the Dongxuan students was originally going to go to school, but when he met Yun Tombsheng, he came in to help bargain, but everything went relatively smoothly and the clothes on his body were more or less related, after all, it was easier to gain the respect of others by wearing such clothes, the young man said:

"It's good to know, your dilapidated yard is equivalent to empty land, and when the time comes, we will help you find the land to build a new house, you have to admit this truth, if the house is very good, we may not give you any difference."

The people in Yangxiahou Mansion were suddenly a little stunned, they all understood this truth, but if they couldn't get the money, they were still a little disappointed, but it would be good if they could really change to a new house, after all, the house was new, and they were really disgusted with this old house.

Yang Xiahou said cautiously to Li Qiyuan: "Then if you can, can you help each of us buy two sets of clothes?" Even if you don't give us a penny, we'll use this house to get you a new house and new clothes. ”

Li Qiyuan was stunned again, he didn't expect this group of people to be so simple, could it be that for them, the dignity and glory of this Hou Mansion was not as good as two clothes and a new house? Suddenly a little angry said: "Got it, I'll take a look." ”

Yun Tombsheng squatted on the top of the mountain, stood up and said, "Okay, then take us around again, I'll help you find a house first, and then negotiate the difference if you find a suitable house." ”

"Okay, okay, this Suiyun Gongzi." Everyone in Yangxiahou Mansion said in unison.

Han Difu said to Yun Tomb: "Then let's go to Qi'an Temple?" ”

"Let's take a look around and see if this yard is worth buying." Yun Tombsheng smiled, and then began to prepare to go down, but the steps were full of people, and there was no way out, Yang Xiahou hurriedly reprimanded the crowd to hurry down to make way out.

When he went down, Yun Tombsheng looked at Yang Xiahou who was walking in front and said: "Master Hou, in a small country, there was a soldier who saved the king's life, and then the king gave him two rewards to choose one of two, one was ten thousand taels of gold but put back in the mountains, and the other was an honorific title but there was no penny, if you were that soldier, which one would you choose?" ”

Yang Xiahou's face was reasonable, "Do you still need to ask?" Anyone who asks casually wants 10,000 taels of gold, what's the use of asking for a honorific title? ”

Yun Tombsheng suddenly felt a little sad, he seemed to understand why some people would do things that were embarrassing in the eyes of others without knowing it, because they couldn't get in touch with things at the level of face in their world, and only knew material life, just like a child, so he took care of it at that time, and did things only for the sake of material face, not for the sake of spiritual face.

Li Qiyuan saw that Yun Tombsheng didn't seem to want to see these people one by one, so he said to Yang Xiahou: "Master Hou, let these irrelevant people retreat, Gongzi wants to go around by himself, you and Gongzi can lead the way." ”

"Let's all go back, let's all go back, I'll tell you when I have news." Yang Xiahou turned around and waved to drive people away.

The people of Yangxiahou Mansion reluctantly left, and a group of people from Yun Tombsheng walked along a path to the pavilion in the middle of the lake, and Han Di Mansion said, "The scenery of this pavilion is very good. ”

"It's just that the lake should be taken care of, some weeds should be removed, and then some brocade fish should be raised." The little carp stretched out his head to look at the water, but he couldn't see any fish.

The eldest son of the Yangxiahou family smiled almost flatteringly: "This young master has a good eye, if Yun Gongzi buys this house, he can do this at that time." ”

"You said you are all so poor, why do you dare to bet against your son?" Li Qiyuan looked at the eldest prince of Yangxiahou Mansion with some incomprehension.

The young man was suddenly a little embarrassed, "The main thing is that I saw that the people on the side who are very famous on weekdays are betting that Yun Gongzi will lose, so I boldly bet that I want to help my family increase their income a little bit." ”

The seats in the pavilion in the middle of the lake have been polished and shiny by the people over the years, and the surrounding stones are also clean and different from other places in Yangxiahou Mansion, the young man is wearing a clothes that have long been outdated, and he is very embarrassed, and Yang Xiahou and Mrs. Yang Xiahou on the side are also wearing old clothes.

Zhao Hongda looked at Yangxiahou curiously and said, "Master Hou, what kind of income do you rely on for eating and drinking in Yangxiahou Mansion?" ”

Yang Xiahou thought for a while and said: "We still have a few shops under our name, because there are no people who are good at management, so they are also not good at business and go out of business, now rent to others, collect some rent every month to solve the problem of daily wear, and dozens of acres of land, you can collect some food every year." ”

"You can only solve the problem of food and clothing, and there is no money left, right?" Yun Tombsheng asked from the side.

Yang Xiahou nodded crampedly, looking at this down-and-out family, Yun Tombsheng was a little curious about what was the reason for the downfall, was it because of intelligence problems? But it's not very similar, Yun Tombsheng felt that there should be a problem with education, so he asked for verification: "How old are the children of your Yangxiahou Mansion going to school?" ”

Yang Xiahou and Mrs. Yang Xiahou in the pavilion were both stunned, obviously they didn't expect Yun Tombsheng to ask this question, so Yang Xiahou replied: "Just teach some old people in the family who are familiar with poetry and books, just know your own name and know some simple words, after all, in this world, fists are respected, and literati always depend on martial artists to live." ”

Yun Tombsheng was a little surprised, he didn't expect to hear this kind of answer, he was a little speechless and wanted to laugh, and Han Difu asked on the side: "Then when will the children of your Hou Mansion practice martial arts?" Have you entered any sects? ”

Yang Xiahou looked at the ripples in the water and said: "The children in our Hou Mansion don't practice martial arts, and it is easy to break their clothes and wear out their shoes when they practice martial arts, and the amount of food will become larger. ”

"Yes, yes, fortunately, I didn't practice martial arts, otherwise our Hou Mansion would have to spend an extra amount of money, this idea is really good." Madame Yang Xiahou said on the side.

Yang Xiahou didn't realize the shocked expressions of the few teenagers around him, and still said with confidence: "As for whether or not you have entered the sect to study, how can there be such a simple thing, many sects now value the strength of children, and the children of our Hou Mansion don't practice martial arts, where can they compete with those children who have practiced martial arts since childhood?" The world is unfair, the poorer you are, the poorer you can only become. ”

Yun Tombsheng sighed deeply, he really didn't have anything to say to this Yangxiahou, and gradually felt that it seemed somewhat understandable to hear Li Qiyuan say those incredible things about Yangxiahou's Mansion in the morning.

The pavilion gradually quieted down, Yun Tombsheng looked around in Yangxiahou Mansion again and then left Yangxiahou Mansion, Yangxiahou warmly entertained Yun Tombsheng to stay here for dinner after taking a look at Yangxiahou Mansion, but was rejected by Yun Tombsheng.

Coming out of the gate, a group of people from the cloud tomb walked west, Yang Xiahou sent a few steps in front of the tattered gate, two ancient plane trees that carried the infinite hope of the first generation of Yang Xiahou were lush and green, and their vitality was still vigorous, but the person who planted it had already turned into dust, in addition to the person who became dust, the descendants of that person also became nothing similar to that person, if the tree had a memory, I don't know if it would be sad.

Li Qiyuan walked at the end and shouted at Yang Xiahou: "Hou Ye, don't forget the one thousand taels of your son, if you can't negotiate a deal in the end, you have to pay back one thousand taels to Yun Gongzi, don't forget, no one can guarantee that this transaction will be successful, so Hou Ye had better prepare this thousand taels first, everyone else will pay back the money before the sun sets tonight, you should be able to delay until the deal ends or the son is unwilling to trade." ”

Looking at the group of people who walked away, the smile on Yang Xiahou's face suddenly disappeared cleanly, and he remembered that his family still owed a thousand taels to this young man who went away, if the deal was not negotiated, how should this thousand taels be repaid?

Yang Xiahou, who was standing in front of the door, looked at the eldest son and his wife who came out, and said angrily: "Look at the good son you are used to, you lost a thousand taels at once, how can you pay it back?" ”

"Father, but if it weren't for this thousand taels, we wouldn't have a chance to meet Yun Gongzi? Although it may not be possible to get a new mansion and new clothes and money, at least if we have a chance, it would be good if we lowered the price at that time, maybe Yun Dagongzi would be willing to buy it. The youth retorted.

Yang Xiahou suddenly felt that what his son said made sense, so he snorted and walked into the dilapidated gate.
