Soon, Humpty Fat Yabao found two files and handed them to Xiao Qiongzhi to see: "The new house within ten years, few people sell it, five acres or more, not too remote, about one to two miles away from the county school, just these two houses, you can take a good look." ”

"Okay, thanks." Xiao Qiongzhi agreed, took the two files, and opened them with Zheng Bang to take a closer look.

From the analysis of the draft drawings and remarks in the archives, these two houses are relatively large, one covers an area of eight acres and the other covers an area of ten acres.

The layout is OK, there are front yards, back yards, front yards, back yard houses are a lot, and the backyard also has pools, rockeries, corridors or something.

The offer is completely different.

A house covering an area of eight acres costs only 1,300 taels of silver.

A house covering an area of ten acres costs two thousand taels of silver.

Among them, the house covering an area of eight acres is located in the Sheephorn Lane facing north behind South Street, which is relatively close to the county school, only about one mile away.

The house covering an area of ten acres is located on Yingcai Road facing east behind East Street, and the distance from the county school is relatively far, nearly two miles away.

Xiao Qiongzhi likes to come together, and she can see the rising sun outside the window, so she did not hesitate to point to the ten-acre mansion and said to Humpty Fat Yabao: "I choose it." ”

"Little girl, you really have a vision. This house has good feng shui, it has only been built for eight years, and the owner of the house is Chen Shou, the original county lieutenant of the county. ”

"Two years ago, Lord Chen was promoted and went to Nancheng to be a lieutenant, and he did a good job there, and he plans to sell this house this year and go to Nancheng to buy a new house."

"However, since this house has not been sold yet, he is renting a house in Nancheng for the time being, only his wife and children have moved over first, and there are still Mr. Chen, Mrs. Chen, Mrs. Chen, and Mrs. Chen living in this house, and I plan to move over after the house is sold." Humpty Dumpty Tooth Guard, Reminder.

"Uncle, has anyone seen this house before? What is the highest price offered? Xiao Qiongzhi asked curiously.

"There are many people who have seen this house, and some people even got 1,500 taels of silver, to be honest, this house is good feng shui, the location is a little remote, not very good, it can be sold for 1,500 taels of silver, which is good."

"It's a pity that Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Chen can't let go, insisting that feng shui is more valuable than a good location, and they have to sell it for two thousand taels of silver." Humpty Dumpty felt quite helpless.

Doesn't that mean that the price is not negotiable at all?

Xiao Qiongzhi was depressed.

Zheng Bang pulled her aside and reminded in a low voice: "This Chen Shou's grandfather and grandmother should be seventy or eighty years old." It is likely that he pays attention to returning to his roots, and is afraid that if he follows Chen Shou to Nancheng, he will die in Nancheng in the future, and he will not be able to return to his hometown, so he deliberately raised the price of the house very high, which is prohibitive. ”

"You can directly offer them two thousand taels of silver later, and in my opinion, they will still refuse to sell, and they will find a new excuse to prevaricate you."

"If that's the case, I have a way to get them to sell me the house!" Xiao Qiongzhi listened carefully, had an idea, and whispered.

Zheng Bang curled his lips slightly, and didn't ask her what the specific solution was, but she was very curious in her heart, how would she persuade Chen Shou's grandfather and grandmother next.

But Humpty Dumpty asked curiously, "Little girl, have you discussed it with your uncle?" ”

"It's been discussed, uncle, you can take us over to see the house." Xiao Qiongzhi said with a smile.

More than a quarter of an hour later, Zheng Bang drove an ox cart, took Xiao Qiongzhi and Humpty Fat Yabao, and arrived at the Chen family's house on Yingcai Road behind East Street.

This house has only two doors, the front entrance and the back door, and there is no side door or ear door.

The main entrance is five meters high and three meters wide, which can accommodate a horse-drawn carriage and go straight in.

The top of the main entrance is carved with beams and paintings, two meters in front, there are five layers of stone steps, on both sides of the stone steps, there is a stone lion on each side, it looks quite magnificent.

Before Humpty Dumpty took Zheng Bang and Xiao Qiongzhi in, he first followed the two Chen Mansion janitors who were guarding the door and explained their intentions, among them, it was specifically mentioned that Zheng Bang and Xiao Qiongzhi were both relatives who dreamed back.

One of the valets was surprised and immediately went in to report.

Soon, a housekeeper came to greet Humpty Fat Yabao, Zheng Bang, and Xiao Qiongzhi into the main entrance, and went to the main hall to meet Chen Shou's father, Master Chen.

Master Chen was very enthusiastic, and as soon as he saw Xiao Qiongzhi and Zheng Bang, he invited them to take a seat, urging the girls on both sides to make tea quickly.

After Xiao Qiongzhi and Zheng Bang received the tea from the girl, Master Chen immediately said straight to the point: "Two distinguished guests, I can't hide it, this house is a new house that overturned my family's original century-old mansion and expanded in situ. ”

"My son Chen Shou originally planned to sell this house for 1,500 taels of silver. But my old lady and old lady think that this house has good feng shui, and they have lived here for decades, and they are used to it, so they are reluctant to leave or sell, so they insist on raising the selling price to two thousand taels of silver. ”

"I can't help it, yesterday, I found the person who had the intention to buy this house that I brought from Yabao last time, and discussed it privately, he gave him 1,500 taels of silver, and I gave him 500 taels of silver, pretending to offer 2,000 taels of silver to buy this house."

As a result, the old lady and the old lady of my family said that the price has been rising recently, and this house has to go up as well, and it needs three thousand taels of silver to sell. Otherwise, death is not sold! ”

"I haven't had time to inform Zhuang Zhaiya about this, so I'm really sorry that you guys came over."

"Grandpa Chen, do you and your son still plan to sell this house?" Xiao Qiongzhi listened carefully and asked curiously.

Master Chen said without hesitation: "Sell!" Of course it is sold! Two months ago, my son was optimistic about a house in Nancheng, and told the owner of the house that he would buy it at the beginning of next month. ”

"Now, my son happens to be short of 1,500 taels in his hand, so he originally planned to sell this house at the price of 1,500 taels of silver."

"I'm thinking of a way to persuade my old lady and old lady to go to Nancheng with us, as long as I can persuade them, this house will be very sold."

"However, my old lady and old lady are very stubborn, and now, as soon as they are persuaded to go to Nancheng, they say that they are going to die, ugly, ugly......"

At the end, Master Chen looked bitter.

Xiao Qiongzhi understood his mood, thought for a while, and said, "Grandpa Chen, you first let someone accompany me and my uncle, and see what your house looks like." ”

"As long as the house is my liking, I am willing to take out 1,500 taels of silver to buy your house, and I still have a way to persuade your old lady and old lady to sell your house to me at a price of 1,500 taels of silver!"
