Chapter 4: Coincidence

Lu Yunque took a breath, squatted down and looked at the Liang family's mother-in-law and said, "I should call you Grandma Liang in terms of seniority, but there is really no room for negotiation in this matter today." You and the buyer went to the dental officer yesterday to sign the deed, and the sale and purchase transaction has been registered. If you regret it now, it is a breach of contract, I have always valued the paper contract, and the breaking of the contract has always been shameful to the world, let alone this kind of official contract involving the sale and purchase of houses. You are not an unreasonable person, don't you understand the relationship between them? ”

The mother-in-law of the Liang family was speechless for a while when she heard Lu Yunque's words, and silently wiped a handful of tears.

The people around closed their mouths after listening to Lu Yunque's words, it is a fact that this official agreement cannot be violated, although the Liang family's mother-in-law is pitiful, this matter is not Lu Yunque's responsibility. If only the lady of the Wang family had come earlier, she would have sighed a pity.

Lu Yunque helped the Liang family's mother-in-law up from the ground, patted the dust on her body and said seriously: "Grandma Liang, I know that you also have your difficulties, but I really can't control your affairs." If you think there is anything wrong with what I have done, just go to the county yamen to sue me, I have a clear conscience! If you still trust me, then come with me again today to see the buyer and see if you can discuss some more money. After that, he looked at the Liang family's mother-in-law.

Seeing that the people around her were no longer silent, the mother-in-law of the Liang family thought carefully about Lu Yunque's words just now, sighed in her heart, nodded and agreed to Lu Yunque's proposal.

Seeing that the matter had been resolved, the people around slowly dispersed, and after Lu Yunque pacified the Liang family's mother-in-law, he ran to Fulin Fang without looking back.

Lin Yao looked at Lu Yunque's back and smiled, this little lady is still a kind person, he thought that she would be like those Zhuang Mansion Yazi he had seen before, and she would reject this mother-in-law with sharp teeth, after all, this mother-in-law is indeed unreasonable in this matter.

I don't think that this little lady is still patient and slowly reasoning with this mother-in-law, and she has to come out to negotiate with the buyer, isn't this looking for something for herself. It's rare to see such a stupid Zhuang Mansion in these years, if you have the opportunity, you still want to buy a house from her, but looking at this little lady's age, she doesn't look very old, and it is estimated that there is no big house in her hand.

Seeing that the sun was almost noon, it was time for lunch, Lin Yao bought two strings of sugar gourds on the side and returned to the inn the way he came.

"Guest, you are back, I have helped you do everything you told me in the morning, the lady of the Zhang family asked you if you were free at three o'clock in the afternoon, if she came to this inn to show you the house in her hand." As soon as Lin Yao entered the store, he asked him.

"I'm so thankful for being free." Lin Yao smiled and thanked the shopkeeper.

"It's a little thing, the guest doesn't have to be so polite. The little guy is busy first, and if the guests want to have lunch, they can just say hello. By the way, your little boy is now playing with my little girl in the backyard. The shopkeeper arched his hand and walked to the backyard.

Lin Yao thought that it was almost time for lunch, so he followed the store to the backyard and prepared to call Lu Jinyan back for dinner.

The backyard was quite large, with a bunch of fresh ingredients bought in the morning, and the kitchen was lined up with four or five stoves, and several cooks were busy stir-frying the dishes in the pot, and the doctor was standing on the side with plates waiting for the dishes to come out.

The yard was still quite clean, and the shopkeeper's daughter sat on a small pony. The hairband on his head changed to green, and he was eating happily with a youth group in his hand, and in front of him a little boy wearing a monkey mask was holding a stick and waving it happily.

"Lu Jinyan, why haven't I seen you play monkey like this before." Lin Yao walked over and handed the little girl a string of sugar gourds, then looked at the little boy and said.

The little boy froze when Lin Yao spoke, slowly took off his mask and smiled awkwardly with a dough-like face.

After bringing Lu Jinyan back, Lin Yao didn't have much of a mind to arrange lunch, so he only ordered a white chicken and a chicken sauce fish bean skin, and had a hasty meal with four Hu cakes.

Not to mention that the appetite of this overworked person is good, usually Lu Jian said to eat two Hu cakes at most, but today I am afraid that I am hungry and panicked, and I ate three Hu cakes and dipped the juice of the fish bean skin cleanly.

Lu Jinyan washed his hands and face after eating, changed his clothes and climbed into bed and fell asleep, Lin Yao waited for Hakka to come in and clean up the plates, and then took out a booklet from his luggage.

Flip it over and see that it is densely packed with records of the expenses of this way, but the handwriting on the first few pages is small and delicate, but the handwriting on the back pages is chic and elegant, and it is not written by one person at a glance.

Lin Yao flipped through the booklet with his right hand and counted the numbers with his left hand, and after a while, he finished counting the entire booklet.

I still have two hundred and forty-seven taels of silver on my body, and if I want to buy a bigger house, it is estimated that it will cost about one hundred taels, so I will estimate one hundred and ten taels.

Fang just asked the shopkeeper himself, although this Yongxiu County is a prosperous trading place, but the price is still low. Ordinary people only use three or four taels of silver a year. Wealthy people only spend twenty or thirty taels a year, and they can still have more than one hundred taels left to buy a big house, so it will not be a problem in two years.

Lin Yao finished the calculation and put the booklet away.

Lin Yao actually didn't have the habit of keeping track of expenses, and this booklet was originally written by a maid who accompanied him.

It's just that when he arrived in Hezhou, he had to send the maid back to Xuzhou because of the too much expense, and the maid handed over a pamphlet to Lin Yao seriously before leaving, so that Lin Yao thought she had something to think about herself, but when she opened it, she was densely filled with expenses along the way.

The maid was the daughter of a bookkeeper in the Lin family, and she was particularly proficient in settling accounts. She told Lin Yao that he really didn't have a plan to spend money, and if he continued like this, he was afraid that he would not be able to go to two more states and there would be no money left, and she hoped that Lin Yao would be able to spend money after she left.

Later, Lin Yao also recorded his daily expenses according to the format of this booklet, not to mention that it was really useful, Lin Yao felt that he was poorer every time he wrote down, and he would not spend so much money next time.

Lin Yao glanced at Lu Jinyan, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, and saw that it was still early, so he turned around and took out a book of poems from a wooden box with him, sat at the table and read it carefully.

Lu Yunque hurried all the way, but it was still two minutes late to arrive at the Fu Linfang wine store that he had made an appointment with the third aunt of the Zhang family.

It was already noon, and most of the guests in the wine shop had gone home for dinner, and there were only a few people scattered in front of the huge hall.

"Come on! Here, here. The third aunt of the Zhang family waved to Lu Yunque. Lu Yunque hurriedly walked over.

"Why are you here now, kid? I've been waiting for you for almost two moments. Although the third aunt of the Zhang family was complaining, she still poured a glass of water and handed it to the panting Lu Yunque.

Lu Yunque took the water handed over by the third aunt of the Zhang family and drank it in one gulp before explaining: "I went out early in the morning, and I went to Ju'anfang to see the sketches of those houses and then rushed here, but I met the Liang family's mother-in-law and me halfway, so I missed the time." With that, he poured himself another glass of water.

"Mother-in-law of the Liang family? Is it the Liang family's mother-in-law who you traded yesterday? What is she messing with you? Isn't there a bad deal in the business yesterday? The third aunt of the Zhang family was a little puzzled and hurriedly asked.

Lu Yunque breathed a sigh of relief and told the third aunt of the Zhang family about himself and the Liang family's mother-in-law in detail.

"Isn't this Liang family's mother-in-law messing around? I still want to regret the deal after signing the official contract, and I want you to go and get the house back for her. Isn't this a fool's dream? ”

The third aunt of the Zhang family was also a little annoyed after hearing this, "This mother-in-law of the Liang family has lived for so many years, and in the end, she has to be unreasonable and embarrass a junior, which is really a joke!" ”

Lu Yunque saw that the third aunt of the Zhang family was angry, and hurriedly laughed and said: "Don't be angry, don't be angry, this matter is now in the past." Why be angry about this, right? ”

After that, he took out an oilskin paper bag and handed it to the third aunt of the Zhang family, "Look, this is the broad bean I bought from Old Man Li on the road, and he was just about to go to the West Market to set up a stall in the afternoon, so he asked me to meet me on the road." His broad beans have always been difficult to buy, I know you like to drink two sips of wine, this broad beans are the most crisp and fragrant. ”

The third aunt of the Zhang family took the paper bag and opened it to see that the yellow and shiny broad beans were in it and smelled very fragrant.

"You're late, you still have time to buy these things." The third aunt of the Zhang family scolded with a smile while putting the paper bag aside.

"Hey, hey, isn't this a good bite for Aunt Zhang, if you wait until you go to the West Market to buy it, I'm afraid you won't be able to buy it!" By the way, Aunt Zhang, is it true that you asked someone to bring me a letter in the morning? Lu Yunque asked with a serious face.

Aunt Zhang picked up a pot of wine on the table and poured a small glass, asked the store for a small plate, poured some broad beans, and threw a broad bean into her mouth.

"It's true, the shopkeeper Qi who welcomed guests this morning told me that there was a handsome foreign gentleman who was quite well-dressed, and asked him if there was any big and clean house for sale in Yongxiu County, and he recommended me to Nalangjun. If nothing else, I will go there before three o'clock in the afternoon to greet the guest and show him the houses I have in my possession. You wait for lunch and pinch a little to welcome guests, I have a ready-made sketch of the house in Mingyuefang, you don't need to draw it again, this success or not depends on your mouth. After that, he picked up an empty cup on the table, poured some wine and pushed it in front of Lu Yunque in the glass, "Taste it, this is sake, not as strong as the wine last time." ”

Lu Yunque smiled bitterly, "Third aunt, I really don't know how to drink." I still have something to do in the afternoon, don't drink this wine and sleep until dawn. After that, he raised the glass of water next to him, "I'll replace the wine with water, okay?" ”

The third aunt of the Zhang family waved her hand, took back the cup she had just handed over, and drank it all in one gulp. "You woman is also strange, shrewd and capable, but she won't drink this wine, no matter what kind of wine you say, it's really strange."

Lu Yunque didn't say anything, knowing that Aunt Zhang was deliberately teasing herself, but she just smiled innocently.

The third aunt of the Zhang family couldn't get angry when she saw Lu Yunque's naΓ―ve appearance, and waved her hand to ask her to go home and cook quickly, and remember to go to greet guests early in the afternoon and wait for her.

Lu Yunque walked out of the wine shop and did not go home to cook, but casually found a food shop and ordered a bowl of mutton soup, and the two Hu cakes were eaten on the spot. While eating, I thought about the situation of the big house that Aunt Zhang told me about yesterday, and made up words in my heart, hoping that the buyer would be interested in this house in the afternoon.

Lu Yunque finished eating the meal and calculated, this Fulin Fang is seven square away from his home, and five square away from the Yingke Inn, and after seeing that the sky is not far from the future, he got up and walked towards the Yingke.

On the way, he saw a vendor selling candy people, stopped and told him to wrap up a female doll with a round face and double flat bun and take it away.
