Chapter 6 Peers
"Since this house is an official family, which one owns it?" Lin Yao asked.
Lu Yunque glanced sideways at the third aunt of the Zhang family, and saw that the third aunt of the Zhang family made an unspeakable mouth shape.
Lu Yunque retracted his eyes, and said to Lin Yao with some embarrassment: "Lang Jun don't want to be surprised, it's not that I don't want to tell Lang Jun, it's that the official houses of this dynasty have always been strictly managed, and this was originally the pension place that the lord built for himself in advance, but later he asked me to sell it because he couldn't use it anymore, if the name of that adult is spread everywhere, I'm afraid it's not good." After that, he smiled a little apologetically at Lin Yao.
Lin Yao waved his hand, "It's okay, I just want to ask more about the news of this house, and if it's inconvenient for you, I won't ask more." ”
Lu Yunque and the third aunt of the Zhang family glanced at each other, and the third aunt of the Zhang family asked with a smile: "Then Lang Jun has a favorite?" If there is, we can take Lang Jun to see the house tomorrow. ”
Lin Yao clicked on the two drawings and said, "I think this Liu family's and this Lu family's little lady are not bad, can you take me to see it tomorrow." After that, he smiled and looked at Lu Yunque.
"Of course you can, will you have time tomorrow?" The third aunt of the Zhang family hurriedly asked.
"Yes", Lin Yao picked up a piece of taro dumplings and ate it, it tasted really good, and it was about to catch up with the craftsmanship of Xuzhou Zuixian Building.
"Then we will meet here tomorrow, and then go to see the house together, what does Lang Jun think?" The third aunt of the Zhang family asked with a smile.
"Yes", Lin Yao patted his sleeve and stood up. "Those two are busy first, I have a nephew who is asleep upstairs, I'll go see him," he said, bowing, and turned to leave.
"Okay, okay, let's go first, tomorrow the two of us will come here to wait for the son" The third aunt of the Zhang family hurriedly got up and returned the salute.
Lin Yao glanced at Lu Yunque, who was standing next to him, and suddenly became playful, and leaned into her ear with the convenience of bending down to salute and said softly, "Little lady, I have seen you."
Lu Yunque looked at him sideways when he heard this, but at this time, Lin Yao had already gotten up and stood to the side looking at her with some playfulness.
Lu Yunque was a little stunned for a while, looking at the handsome Lin Jiaerlang on the side, he suddenly felt that his ears were a little hot, and he quickly turned his head in a panic.
By the time Lu Yunque came to his senses, Lin Yao had already gone upstairs, and Aunt Zhang had already packed up the drawings on the table.
"What are you doing in a daze? Don't put this drawing away quickly, remember to come early tomorrow to welcome guests, I see that this Lin family Erlang is quite interested in the house in Mingyuefang. I'll have other work to do later, this is the key to the house, and you can go and see the house when you're done with the business at hand, and you can clean up the inside. Although this house was cleaned up half a month ago, it is inevitable that some dust will fall if it is not inhabited, and it is good to clean it up again. ”
The third aunt of the Zhang family took out a bunch of keys from her arms and handed them to Lu Yunque, and the moment she raised her legs and wanted to leave, she seemed to remember something, hooked her hand to Lu Yunque, leaned over to her side and whispered: "I see that this Lin family Erlang is a wealthy person, and I saw that the hairpin that he tied his hair was not there, I saw it at the jade Hu Shang who was good friends with my Langjun three months ago." This is a new material from the Western Regions, which looks like white jade but has a bit of clarity of glass, and there will be some colored light under the sun, and its price is twice that of mutton fat jade! Girl, you have to take advantage of the opportunity. After saying that, he patted Lu Yunque lightly, turned around and went to the front of the cabinet to settle the tent of this table and hurried away.
Lu Yunque put away the keys and drawings, looked up at the guest room on the second floor, and after asking the shopkeeper Qi, he also walked quickly towards the Ju'an Wine Store in Ankang Fang.
Ankang Fang is four squares away from welcoming guests, Lu Yunque hurried all the way to arrive at the agreed Ju'an wine shop in time, stood at the door and tidied up his clothes and strode inside.
The mother-in-law of the Liang family and a man in a literati robe were sitting on the table in the southwest corner of the wine shop, and when they saw Lu Yunque coming, they hurriedly beckoned her to come over.
"I'm sorry, I have something over there, I've been delayed for a while, I'm late." Lu Yunque sat aside while confessing his sin.
"It's okay, it's okay, we just arrived." The man said with a smile.
Lu Yunque smiled and no longer dwelled on this matter, raised his hand and grinded out a note from his arms and placed it on the table.
"This is the contract document signed by the two of them when they sold the house. One is with me, and the other is in the county office, and the two of them will take a look at it a priori. Lu Yunque said that, and pushed the note between the two.
The mother-in-law of the Liang family and the man read it one after another, and they all said that they had no objections.
After getting the exact reply, Lu Yunque raised his hand and pulled back the note, carefully put it into his arms, and then said: "Today, according to the book, Langjun of the Wen family should pay the Liang family's mother-in-law six taels of the final payment, right, Lang Jun?"
"Well, the Luya people are right." That Wen family Langjun raised his hand and touched a small purse with a blue cloud pattern from his arms, and put it in front of the Liang family's mother-in-law. "This is the final payment of six taels, and I ask the Liang family's mother-in-law to count it."
The mother-in-law of the Liang family picked up the purse and opened it to look at it, then turned sideways to avoid the sight of the others in the wine shop, took out the silver and bit it, and then nodded to the two.
Seeing this, Wen Jialangjun also smiled and arched his hand to the Liang family's mother-in-law.
The mother-in-law glanced at Lu Yunque, with a few pleading meanings in her eyes.
"I heard from those neighbors in the neighborhood that Wen Jialangjun is looking for a clean place for his old mother to recuperate, right?" Lu Yunque asked with a smile.
"Yes, my mother is very old, and in recent years, she has been infected with many diseases, and my original house is inconvenient for my mother to clean up in the downtown area, so I found a relatively clean house." Wen Jialangjun replied with a smile.
"Wen Jialangjun is really a filial person, and your mother is really blessed to have a son like you." Lu Yunque praised.
"Where, where, my mother also suffered a lot in her early years to raise me as an adult. Now I don't do as much as I do for my mother as much as she treats me. Wen Jialang Jun arched his hand and said.
"Most parents in the world are like this, they do their best for their children," Lu Yunque sighed a little.
Wen Jialangjun nodded in agreement.
"Wen Jialangjun knows why this Liang family's mother-in-law wants to sell her house." Lu Yunque asked.
"I've heard from people in the neighborhood that it seems to be because someone in my family has an emergency, but I don't know anything else." Wen Jialangjun replied.
"This Liang family's mother-in-law is also a miserable person, in the early years, her own husband left unexpectedly, leaving orphans and widows to live a difficult life. The boy of the Liang family is a smart and sensible person, although the life of the two mothers and sons is difficult, there is still hope. ”
Lu Yunque raised his hand and poured a glass of water for Wen Jialangjun and continued: "But there are unforeseen circumstances, this Liang family kid contracted a wind chill at the end of winter this year, as if he brought out some hidden disease in his body, and he couldn't be cured for a long time. The surrounding doctors all said that this child had no work, but the Liang family's mother-in-law didn't believe it, so she took out all the belongings in the family and sold them, and took her son around to seek medical advice. Later, there was really nothing of value at home, and I refused to just ignore my son, so the Liang family's mother-in-law came to me and begged me to find a good buyer for her house, so that I could use the money to treat my son. ”
Lu Yunque glanced at the two of them after speaking, her mother-in-law had already covered her face and wept softly, and the Wen family Langjun was also full of sighs.
"Today I told Lang Jun that there is actually a reason for this." Lu Yunque spoke again.
"Why?"
Lu Yunque raised his hand and picked up his water cup and took a sip, "This morning, the lady of the Wang family in Shengpingfang also came to me and came up with a price of twelve taels or three yuan to buy the house of the Liang family's mother-in-law, but the Liang family's mother-in-law has already signed the deed with Lang Jun to the county government, and she must not regret it no matter what." But I really can't bear this Liang family's mother-in-law, so I have the cheekiness to ask if Lang Jun can discuss the price again. Lang Jun rest assured, no matter whether Lang Jun adds it or not, this house will be handed over to Lang Jun in the end. Lu Yunque stopped looking at the Wen family Langjun after saying that, and only turned around to comfort the Liang family's mother-in-law on the side.
Wen Jialangjun frowned slightly after hearing this, glanced at the Liang family's mother-in-law across the table, and said after thinking for a moment: "I know that the Luya people are kind-hearted, and the Liang family's mother-in-law is indeed pitiful, but it is indeed a bit difficult for me to pay twelve taels or three dollars." In this way, I will give twelve taels and two dollars, which can be regarded as accumulating some blessings for my old lady. ”
The mother-in-law of the Liang family was overjoyed when she heard this, and hurriedly got up and wanted to kowtow to the Wen family's Langjun.
Wen Jialangjun grabbed her and said words of comfort while helping her up.
After the Liang family's mother-in-law was emotionally stable, the Wen family Langjun took out two taels of silver and handed it over, and Lu Yunque also asked the two to sign the delivery deed according to the rules, and after everything was cleaned up, he got up and said goodbye and rushed to Mingyuefang.
When Lu Yunque arrived at Mingyue Fang, it was almost unitary time, and the sun was gradually sinking early in early spring.
The house of Mingyuefang is quite large, and there are two small stone lions at the door, which looks like it really has the momentum of an official mansion. It's just that because it hasn't been inhabited for a long time, there are some dead leaves scattered in front of the door, and it feels a little desolate.
After Lu Yunque entered the door, he first patrolled the house, and after remembering the route in his heart, he found a broom in the backyard, carefully cleaned all the places on the surface, and carefully looked at these buildings while sweeping.
By the time Lu Yunque finished cleaning, the sun had completely set, and it was almost time to close the door after calculating the hour, Lu Yunque locked the house and hurried home.
Early the next morning, Lu Yunque got up to pack up his things, and after eating at the breakfast shop on the roadside, he rushed to welcome customers.
Lin Yao also got up very early today, and by the way, he pulled Lu Jinyan up, and the two of them sat there after having breakfast in the lobby downstairs, waiting for the lark to come over.
When Lu Yunque arrived, Lin Yao was chatting with the doctor who was cleaning up the table, and Lu Jinyan was eating sesame cakes with Baozhu on the side.
Seeing that Lu Yunque was coming, Lin Yao raised his head and smiled without speaking, but his eyes looked at her carefully.
Lu Yunque saw Lin Yao looking at him for a while, and hurriedly walked to Lin Yao's table and sat down. poured a cup of tea on the table, and said while drinking: "Aunt Zhang San'er can't leave this morning, I'll take Lang Jun to see the house in Mingyuefang first, and then go to see another house with Aunt Zhang San'er in the afternoon, what do you think?"
"Yes, you can arrange it." Lin Yao looked at Lu Yunque with a smile, and then asked, "Did the little lady of the Lu family eat too early?" There's also freshly baked naan. ”
"No, no, I already ate it when I came. If Lin Jiajilang has nothing else to do, we can go now. Lu Yunque said while waving his hand.
Lin Yao didn't say anything more after listening, turned sideways and called Lu Jinyan on the side, and got up with Lu Yunque to leave. It's just that when he walked to the door, Lu Jinyan had to bring the jewel with him, and it happened that there was another big order in the store today, and the shopkeeper Qi and his wife couldn't leave, so they asked the lark to take care of the jewel for a long time.
