No, Mrs. Huijun, His Royal Highness Prince Kun and His Royal Highness Prince Qiu are not snobbish, and you are not, otherwise, you would not be reluctant to go to Nancheng. Xiao Qiongzhi was not fooled, but still refused to ask for it.

Although she did not have a decent piece of jewelry, she seemed a little out of place when facing someone like the old lady with a relatively good family background.

However, now she has a lot of ways and plans to make money, and in the future, there is still a chance to buy high-grade jewelry.

The old lady had no choice but to put on a straight face and said with an indignant face: "The elder gives, you can't give up!" You must pick one thing out of this for me today, or I won't sell you this house!" I don't recognize you as a great-granddaughter anymore! ”

"Okay, then I'll take this." Xiao Qiongzhi couldn't resist the old lady, so she had to pick the cheapest one in it: the Nanzhu with the size of a pigeon egg.

The old lady was finally satisfied.

She smiled and gave Xiao Qiongzhi a suggestion: "Zhi'er, the jewelry shop on East Street can customize jewelry, you can let them inlay this southern pearl into the hairpin, hairpin, or necklace when you arrive, it will definitely look good." ”

"Okay, then when I come over next month, I'll take it to the treasure shop to make a custom hairpin." Xiao Qiongzhi also thought so.

When the two came out of the old lady's house, the old lady immediately winked at the old lady.

The old lady seemed to understand what he meant, made a look of disdain, and waved her hand at him: "Old man, how can you have anything decent? Why don't you borrow it from me? ”

"Humph! Underestimate me! My stuff is practical! The old lady was not convinced.

He proudly took out a paperweight-like blood-red thing from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Xiao Qiongzhi: "Zhi'er, give it to the elders, don't give it away!" This is a gift from me to you, although it is not worth much, but it is practical, you can accept it. ”

"Okay, thank you, old lady." When Xiao Qiongzhi heard him say this, she didn't think much about it, so she accepted it directly.

Everyone was happy.

Next, Mrs. Chen asked the housekeeper of the Chen Mansion to call Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Chen, who lived in the west courtyard, as well as Mr. Chen and Humpty Fat Yabao, who were waiting in the front yard, all over.

He told them in detail about recognizing his relationship with Xiao Qiongzhi, and about being willing to sell the house to Xiao Qiongzhi for 1,500 taels of silver.

There is no mention of Xiao Qiongzhi's willingness to provide them with the courtyard where he now lives with Mrs. Chen after buying the house, and the fact that everyone lives together, as well as Xiao Qiongzhi's willingness to give them a pension and hire a servant.

Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Chen didn't expect that they would have a great-granddaughter all of a sudden, which was both unexpected and interesting.

They hurriedly asked people to bring a boxy ivory stone and a pair of snow-white jade bracelets as a meeting gift to Xiao Qiongzhi.

Xiao Qiongzhi hurriedly accepted it and thanked him.

Master Chen didn't expect that Xiao Qiongzhi not only really got things done like this, but also became his own granddaughter.

He was full of joy, more cautious than Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Chen, and specially called Steward Chen, brought a collection of famous calligraphy and paintings, and gave it to Xiao Qiongzhi: "Zhi'er, this, just let me give you a meeting gift, accept it quickly!" ”

"Okay, thank you, grandpa." Xiao Qiongzhi received it correctly.

Anyway, this is the rule of recognizing relatives, and at the same time, her appreciation of calligraphy and painting is limited, but she simply thinks it looks good, and she can't recognize how precious this so-called famous calligraphy and painting is.

Immediately after that, it is time to discuss together and draw up the application documents for the sale and purchase of the house.

The person in charge of writing is the housekeeper of the Chen Mansion.

The old lady Chen, under the reminder of Humpty Fat Yabao, reminded the housekeeper of the Chen Mansion to record the reason for selling the house, the location and origin of the house, the layout inside, and the willingness to sell the house to Xiao Qiongzhi at the price of 1,500 taels of silver.

still didn't mention the fact that after Xiao Qiongzhi bought the house, he was willing to provide them with the courtyard where he now lives with Mrs. Chen, and everyone lives together, as well as Xiao Qiongzhi's willingness to give them a pension and hire a servant.

Xiao Qiongzhi guessed that he might be, afraid that Mrs. Chen, Mr. Chen and others would oppose him and Mrs. Chen, and continue to live in the house, so he deliberately didn't say anything, so he pretended to be confused on the side.

After the application documents for the sale and purchase of the house were prepared, Yabao took Xiao Qiongzhi, Zheng Bang, Master Chen, and Steward Chen back to the Zhuang Mansion.

He asked Mr. Chen to spend money and went to the place where the side house of Zhuang Zhai Yahang sold special stickers and contract papers, and bought a fixed sticker and four positive deeds.

Then, as Zheng Bang said before, he began to go through the procedure.

First of all, he asked Steward Chen to transcribe the content of the application documents drawn up in Chen's Mansion to the sticker, and together with the house deed taken out by Master Chen, he took it to Humpty Fat Yabao and handed it over to the leader above him, the dental supervisor, and passed the review.

Then, transcribe the contents of the approved and fixed stickers to the four positive deeds.

Master Chen and Xiao Qiongzhi signed their words and fingerprints on them respectively.

Steward Chen and Yabao, as witnesses and handlers, also signed and pressed their fingerprints behind the signatures of Master Chen and Xiao Qiongzhi respectively.

In the end, Humpty Dumpty Yabao took them, took the four positive deeds, went to the dental supervisor, stamped the special red seal of the Dingzi County Zhuang Mansion Dental Store, and burned the original house deed of Master Chen in front of them, and the matter was done.

When he came out of Zhuangfangyaxing, Master Chen asked Xiao Qiongzhi: "Zhi'er, when are you going to move here?" ”

"I want to wait until after the fifteenth day of the first month of next year, when I bring those 30 children to the county school to sign up, and then move in." Xiao Qiongzhi had already planned.

At present, whether it is the county or the countryside, it is not the time when there is the greatest shortage of food.

It will not be until after the 15th day of the first lunar month of next year, when the winter grain is basically exhausted, will the problem really become serious.

At that time, in the countryside, you could still find wild vegetables, vegetables, wild mushrooms and other fruits, but there were no large mountains and fields in the city, and at that time, it would be even more difficult to find food than in the countryside, and the price of grain would definitely skyrocket.

Before that, she could go to the mountains with Zheng Bang to hunt wild boars, pull them to the county to sell them for money, and then use part of the money from the sale to buy some glutinous rice, Huaishan, mountain chestnuts, and Poria cocos from people in the township, village, and outside the village at a low price.

When the family moved into Dingzi County, they rented a shop and sold Huaishan cakes, Poria cakes, and tofu made from mountain chestnuts for many years, and they would definitely make a lot of money.

Master Chen was very surprised, and said with a smile: "Okay, I estimate that the old lady and the old lady will definitely stay here for the New Year, and I will slowly ask someone to move the furniture in the house to Nancheng first, and then take the old lady and the old lady to Nancheng before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month." ”

Xiao Qiongzhi shook her head with a smile and said, "Grandpa, you don't have to be in such a hurry. There is something that the old lady and the old lady have not told you, so let me tell you about it now. ”

"When I discussed with them about buying a house, I saw that they were used to living here, and they were reluctant to leave, so I specially promised them that the courtyard they live in now will still be left for them to live in the future."

"On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, it is still cold and very cold, if the old lady and the old lady don't want to go to Nancheng when they arrive, you don't let them go, lest they freeze on the road."

"You can wait until March or April, when the spring flowers are blooming, and you can come back and pick them up."

"In addition, if they are not used to living in Nancheng and want to come back, don't stop them, just let them come back and live for a while, and then go to Nancheng when they want to go to Nancheng."

"Anyway, I'm your own granddaughter now, their own great-granddaughter, and when they come back to live, I don't need you to say it, I will take care of them."

Master Chen never dreamed that Xiao Qiongzhi could actually do such a thing for Old Lady Chen and Old Lady Chen.

After listening carefully, he said sincerely: "Zhi'er, you are so young, you actually arrange things so thoughtfully, what a good boy!" Don't worry, as long as the old lady and the old lady are here, you can take good care of them, and our Chen family will not treat you badly! ”

"Grandpa, you are too polite, we are a family, don't talk two words in a family, filial piety and dedication for your elders is the responsibility and obligation of me, a junior!" Xiao Qiongzhi said sincerely.

The gifts she received from the Chen family today were already enough.

The value of these gifts alone is enough for the old lady and the old lady to live very richly by her side for more than ten years.

She was really embarrassed to accept any other gifts from the Chen family.

"Good! Good! Good! Zhi'er said well, we are a family, the family does not speak two words, in the future, if Zhi'er needs help from me or your uncle Chen Shou, just ask. ”

"Okay, grandpa." Xiao Qiongzhi responded obediently.
