Chapter 179: The Palace and the Cook's House
"What's going on?" Li Yu on the side leaned over and asked.
Yun Tombsheng explained: "Dizi said that after the transaction is over, he will more or less give them some money from the Yangxiahou Mansion to educate future generations, and I also think that it is really not okay not to go to school in these years, especially in such a big family, the threat brought by the eyes of the rat is too great." ”
Li Yu nodded, a few people chatted for a while, Yang Xiahou ran over out of breath, followed by more than twenty people, and after entering, the man said to Yun Tomb: "Yun Gongzi, do you see it?" ”
Yun Tombsheng looked at Li Qiyuan, Li Qiyuan nodded and said that it was okay, but he looked around and didn't see the carriage, so Li Qiyuan asked, "How many carriages do you have?" Can you sit down? ”
"It's okay, we're going to walk over, and we're going to give the neighbors a good look at this kind of housewarming." The eldest son of the Yangxia Hou Mansion was full of joy.
Looking at the speechless Yun Tombsheng, Li Qiyuan could only hold back his disdain and said: "Look, Master Hou, we haven't said it's finalized yet, so you just come like this, what if the deal is not reached in the end?" You came out of this scenery first, are you more or less faceless? ”
"That's right, three guns, you go and call the coachman to come and pick us up in the carriage." Yang Xiahou nodded while directing people to drive, and smiled at Yun Tombsheng and a group of people.
Yun Tombsheng couldn't figure out why he was flattering all over his face, as if he was afraid that he would regret it, nodded and went out of the door to get into the carriage and wait.
After a while, four thin horses came over with four carriages that were almost falling apart, and a group of people from Yangxiahou Mansion rushed up, as if they were about to walk on two legs when they were late.
Seeing that the people from Yangxiahou Mansion were about to leave and got into the car, Li Qiyuan instructed his coachman to return to the previous Changye Real Estate store.
When he arrived at the door of Changye Real Estate, Li Qiyuan greeted him, and after seeing the steward, he was surprised by the efficiency of several people, and happily took the key to follow, Li Qiyuan opened the curtain and invited him to come up and sit.
After the steward excused himself, he sat side by side with the coachman outside the carriage, and Li Qiyuan did not insist on it, and as soon as the coachman shook the reins, the horse he pulled galloped away in the direction pointed by the steward.
When he arrived at the place, Yun Tombsheng sat in the carriage and didn't want to go down, so he asked Li Qiyuan to give instructions, and Li Qiyuan got out of the car and said to the steward: "Take these distinguished guests to visit the twelve mansions I selected, and it depends on them whether you buy them or not." ”
The steward immediately understood, knowing that Li Qiyuan was going to fool the layman by himself, he didn't know this group of people who got off the dilapidated carriage, but the clothes on his body were all of good material, but they were a little old, presumably a down-and-out nobleman.
The people of Yangxiahou Mansion have not been treated well over the years, and they are a little cramped when they arrive in the new place, Li Qiyuan pointed to Chunhua Pond, "Didn't you say that you want a big lake to fish and play?" That's it, isn't it more than ten times bigger than you used to? It's not for you, but you can play here at any time, and that yard is the back door of your new home, connected to the lake. ”
"Good, good." Yang Xiahou nodded hurriedly.
After Li Qiyuan gave a rough explanation, he returned to Yun Tombsheng's carriage, looking at a lake of spring water, Yun Tombsheng said to Li Qiyuan: "Where is there a painting boat nearby?" Go get one for them. ”
"Childe, why don't you let them take a look at it first, if you are optimistic about this mansion, let's talk about it, otherwise if you don't look at it, you won't have anywhere to buy it back."
As soon as Li Qiyuan's words fell, he closed his mouth in amusement, because there was an exclamation behind him, and when he turned around, the group of masters and servants of the Yangxiahou Mansion admired the house facing the Chunhua Pool as if they had not seen a house for many years.
"Let's go."
Yun Tombsheng spoke again, Li Qiyuan touched his nose and got into the car, and ordered the carriage to go west, Li Qiyuan on the car said to Yun Tombsheng: "Childe, this may not have a ready-made painting boat, only the ready-made painting boat in front of them has the best effect." ”
"Then why don't you find the painting boat for lunch today and ask if there is anything ready-made." On the carriage driving side by side, Zhao Hongda said to the cloud tomb.
Not long after, a group of people saw the female shopkeeper on the dock where they got on the boat to swim in the lake in the morning, Yun Tombsheng waved and walked over, the female shopkeeper was very curious about what Yun Tombsheng was looking for him.
"Shopkeeper, do you know where there is a small painting boat? The kind that can be sold right away. ”
The woman walked down from the painting boat, there were basically no guests at this point in time, every day in the moon when the willow tops were the most lively time in the Chunhua Pool, the woman felt very coincidental in her heart, and said: "I have a ship that I want to sell, I used to do business, and then I spent money to buy this medium-sized one, and the small one was given to the maid to manage, and basically I can't make any money, do you want to buy it, childe?" ”
Yun Tombsheng nodded, "I'll help someone buy it, what is the price of your small one?" ”
"When I bought a brand new two hundred taels, now the discount is eighty taels, I can guarantee that there are no problems, I just changed it when I was too small, what do you think, childe?"
Li Qiyuan said at the right time: "Can you take a look?" ”
"Of course, the small boat is on the other side, I'll take you there, Childe, please." The woman got out of the way, and after the cloud tomb and Zhao Hongda got on the boat, the woman went in and gave the order to the boat to move.
"Childe, look, this is it."
Li Qiyuan stood on the medium-sized painting boat and carefully looked at the vicinity of the waterline of the small painting boat, and then jumped over with Yun Tombsheng and a few people to take a look inside.
"Childe, this is no problem, you can buy it."
Yun Tombsheng took out a silver ticket from his bosom and handed it to the woman who came with him, "Shopkeeper, the person at the helm will lend me two days." ”
"Absolutely." After the woman found money for Yun Tombsheng, she instructed people to start moving things neatly, and in the time of a stick of incense, the things in the small gallery were moved.
The woman looked at the small painting boat, which was almost empty, and said, "These curtains or something are kept, and they are considered as gifts." ”
After saying goodbye to the woman, Yun Tombsheng commanded the helmsman to take the small painting boat in the direction of the carriage that had just stopped, and when he reached a closer place, Li Qiyuan poked his head out and signaled, and the coachman drove the carriage to the house of many people pointed out by Li Qiyuan.
After arriving at the new house, the boat stopped on the shore, because there was no pier, Yun Tombsheng and several people jumped up, and as soon as they got ashore, they saw a group of people from Yangxiahou Mansion who were full of excitement.
Yang Xiahou pointed to the narrow mansion by the lake and said to Yun Tombsheng: "This is good, this is good, when the time comes, smash the wall in the middle of the house, and then fence it out to be a big mansion." ”
The side staff and servants behind Yang Xiahou were more and more excited, "This is good, they are all new, the doors and windows are not the old patterns and patterns that they used to be, they are really beautiful." ”
"Yes, the house I lived in before was painted everywhere, everything was old, it was so good here, it would be nice if we could live in it, everything we used was new, not like everything was old over there."
A little girl said: "Who says it's not, you look at how new these things are, look at the wall here, you look at the wall over there, it's full of moss, the masonry is exposed, and there are snakes in the yard." ”
The eldest son of Yangxiahou Mansion reprimanded several subordinates: "Look at your unproductive appearance, just staring at the little furniture in the house, don't you see this big lake?" ”
"So which side of this gate are you going to stay on? Is this east-facing door or a bigger one facing south? As soon as Yun Tomb asked with a smile, Mrs. Yangxiahou Mansion said excitedly: "Sure this, how convenient is it to go fishing?" ”
Han Difu couldn't hold back his laughter, and when he saw everyone looking at him, he didn't look over his head and snickered.
Yun Tombsheng waved his hand at the steward, and the steward left with interest, and Yun Tombsheng said behind him: "If you need to, go directly to sign tomorrow." ”
When the steward was far away, Yun Tombsheng continued to say to Yang Xiahou: "You have also seen this house, so you can see what price I have to compensate you for the one thousand taels that I owe me?" ”
Yang Xiahou was stunned for a moment, he really didn't know how to speak, he looked back at his wife, and then at a few uncles, brothers and servants.
Li Qiyuan looked at the tangled Yangxiahou and said: "Why don't you discuss it, after all, it's a deal, it's nothing to discuss, you look at this painting boat, if the transaction is completed, you don't need money to give it directly to Yangxiahou's mansion." ”
Everyone in Yangxiahou Mansion suddenly ran to the lake excitedly to look at the painting boat below, and the sailors in the painting boat were suddenly frightened to see so many greedy eyes on the shore that seemed to be eating people.
The large painting boat is like a warship on the sea, the multi-storey building can accommodate hundreds of people, the small painting boat on the lake is just a saying, in fact, it is not small, but because the medium and large ones are too big, so this type of painting boat is set off very small, that is, the twenty or so people in Yangxiahou Mansion can all go down to ensure that people do not rely on people to have a place to sit.
"Really?" The eldest son of Yang Xiahou looked back at Yun Tombsheng in disbelief.
Yun Tombsheng nodded, "These twelve buildings are enough for you to live in, right?" ”
"Enough is enough, there is still some leftover." Yang Xiahou hurriedly said.
Yun Tombsheng, who was standing by the lake, turned his head slightly and pointed to the house: "I am responsible for all these twelve buildings and the later wall changes, and I will renovate another building to help you move the ancestral hall over, everything will be done for you, to ensure that you don't need to spend any energy, secondly, this painting boat will be sent to you, in addition, there will be three new carriages to facilitate your travel." ”
"Oh......"
"Wow, really?"
The people in Yangxiahou Mansion felt that it was very cost-effective to replace the old mansion with a new one, but they didn't expect that there were also free painting boats and carriages, and they looked at each other for a while.
Yun Tombsheng continued: "In addition, everyone in the Yangxia Hou Mansion has two new clothes per person according to their status, and as for the price, the clothes of ordinary servants are not less than one tael, the petty steward is not less than two taels, the family members are not less than three taels, and the Hou Ye and his wife are not less than thirty taels. ”
"Huh?"
The crowd in Yangxiahou's Mansion boiled again, and after a long time it gradually quieted down, and Yangxiahou asked, "Then when will we sign the contract and go to the yamen for notarization?" ”
"yes, when can we move here?"
Yun Tombsheng looked back at the house and said to the crowd: "There is no problem in the house here, but the wall courtyard still needs to be modified and built, so if you come over early, it may be very noisy to build a wall or something." ”
"It's okay, it's okay, we're not too noisy."
Looking at the impatient crowd, Yun Tombsheng said to Yang Xiahou: "How much do you want for this last money?" ”
"This is enough, we are all old houses, there are so many things in such a new house, we are satisfied, if Gongzi is willing, then give a little, if you don't want to, that's enough, thank you Yun Gongzi."
Listening to the satisfaction, Yun Tombsheng felt that he couldn't be so stingy, so he said: "That's it, I'll give another three thousand taels, and I hope that the three thousand taels will be shared with the servants at that time." ”
"Huh?"
Many people in Yangxiahou Mansion had already begun to wonder if Yun Tombsheng had a brain problem, and urged: "Then sign the contract now?" ”
Yun Tombsheng shook his head, "Don't worry, you go back and think about it for a night, if there is no problem, tomorrow morning we will draw up the contract and sign it and go to the yamen for notarization." ”
"There's nothing to think about, Childe, it's okay now." The eldest son of Yang Xiahou said eagerly, as if he was afraid that Yun Tomb would regret it.
Yun Tombsheng waved his hand, "Don't worry, I will never regret it, Hou Ye, think about it after you go back, once you sign and draw, then the land and everything on it in Yangxia Hou Mansion will have nothing to do with you." ”
"Where do you need to think, I want to live here tonight, who wants to go back to that place."
Yun Tombsheng looked at the dissatisfied crowd, and suddenly thought of a scene, for a beggar who doesn't know the quality of things, the emperor's palace must not be as fragrant as the cook's home.
