Chapter 2 The Way Out

"And how are you going to pay it back? I probably have a spectrum in my heart about how much savings you have, even if I lend you another six or seven taels of silver, it won't be able to pay it back. Could it be that you are going to find your aunt? The third aunt of the Zhang family asked thoughtfully.

Lu Yunque waved his hand, "My aunt probably can't get so much silver." And the business of that family has not been easy to do in the past two years. If I go to ask my aunt for these coins again, I'm afraid that the family will be dissatisfied with my aunt. After that, Lu Yunque gently stroked the tea bowl and said with a wry smile: "If you really can't do it, I will sell this house, and I must protect my grandfather's reputation."

The third aunt of the Zhang family frowned when she heard this, and gently patted Lu Yunque's hand, "What do you think of the silly girl, where is it to the point of selling the house, this road is all walked out by people, no matter how difficult the situation is, you can always solve it if you think about it." ”

Lu Yunque lowered his head and smiled and did not answer.

The third aunt of the Zhang family was even more distressed when she looked at Lu Yunque like this. But the most I can help is seven or eight taels of silver, and I can't get any more.

Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, the third aunt of the Zhang family looked up and was about to say to Lu Yunque, but she suddenly got stuck, with a hesitant look on her face.

Lu Yunque noticed that something was wrong with the third aunt of the Zhang family and asked, "What did the third aunt of Zhang think of?"

The third aunt of the Zhang family looked at Lu Yunque and said with some hesitation: "I have a job here to make quick money, but it is not so glorious. Don't worry, it's not a serious business, if you do a good job, it's not a problem to earn a dozen taels of silver, but if you don't do it well, I'm afraid that you won't be able to do it in the future. With that, he looked up at Lu Yunque.

Lu Yunque was about to refuse when he heard the third aunt of the Zhang family say that it was disgraceful, but when he heard that he could get more than a dozen taels of silver, he hesitated a little.

Although Tu Ergou is gone today, he also admitted the bill, and he will definitely come every now and then in the future, if it is known to everyone, I am afraid that Grandpa's reputation will no longer be able to be saved, and Grandma's side will be embarrassed. In the past few years, the second brother and sister-in-law of the family have not liked A-Niang, and they have made such a fuss, I don't know what grievances A-Niang will suffer.

Thinking of this, Lu Yunque had to sigh and motioned for the third aunt of the Zhang family to continue.

Seeing this, the third aunt of the Zhang family hurriedly said, "Do you remember what happened to the lady of the Liu family before?"

"Is it because the lady of the Liu family maliciously deceived the price of Hu Shang's real estate before, and finally lost face and was almost reported to the official?" Lu Yunque was a little puzzled, why did the third aunt of the Zhang family suddenly mention this matter?

A few days ago, the lady of the Liu family in Anle Fang introduced a large mansion in Tai'an Fang to a team of Hu merchants.

The original owner of the house originally quoted sixty-eight taels of silver, but the price of the lady of the Liu family to Hu Shang was seventy-nine taels of silver, and the difference in the middle was a full eleven taels of silver!

The lady of the Liu family gave birth to a clever mouth, and the two parties were obedient. Originally, neither Hu Shang nor the owner of the house found out about the price difference in the middle, and the lady of the Liu family at the county government had already taken care of it, so she was waiting to sign the document.

It's just that once one of the Hu merchants went to the wine shop to drink and happened to meet a close attendant under the owner of the house, and the two preferred to sit at a table by chance, and they recognized each other during the conversation.

The Hu merchant casually said that the price of your lord's house is really high, and you can buy hundreds of sheep outside the territory. The attendant hurriedly replied that it was not high, and the price was fair.

During the conversation, the two suddenly found that the offer they knew was not the same as the purchase price, and the wine woke up in an instant. In order to prevent misunderstanding, the two also checked carefully, and after this check, they knew that it was the Zhuang Zhaiya people in the middle who were making trouble, and they were very angry for a while, and hurriedly got up and went back to report.

Later, Hu Shang and the owner of the house went to the Liu family's lady's house to discuss the law, and a group of people almost didn't scare the Liu family lady to death.

Lu Yunque didn't know why the third aunt of the Zhang family suddenly mentioned this matter, and felt a little puzzled.

The third aunt of the Zhang family raised her hand to refill her tea bowl, took a sip and continued: "If you want me to say that this lady of the Liu family is also capable, but she is just a little unlucky, there is no way."

Lu Yunque was speechless for a while. The third aunt of the Zhang family is right or wrong, although it is always necessary to take some risks to do something profitable these days, but it is indeed immoral for the lady of the Liu family to do this. Although the Zhuang Zhai Yazi sometimes has to do some coaxing things, but this line is considered to have a relatively high reputation requirements, you don't talk about integrity, no one will rest assured that the house will be handed over to you to sell, once the Zhuang Zhai Yazi has no house in his hands, it is a broken doorway.

Seeing that Lu Yunque did not show an unhappy expression on his face, Aunt Zhang continued: "Your third aunt and I also have such a deal here. But compared to the lady of the Liu family, my deal is more secure than hers. Skylark, do you know what an exclusive tooth is? ”

"Exclusive teeth? I've heard other aunts say it, but I really haven't seen it myself. Lu Yunque was a little surprised when he heard the title of exclusive tooth, and suddenly remembered what those aunts had said to him before.

To be a farmer, you need to run around and build a line, who has a house to sell, and who wants to buy a new house.

Generally speaking, there will be several Zhuang house teeth to watch, and the buyer who likes it will be contacted immediately, if there are several teeth, then it depends on which one the host is willing to cooperate with.

Exclusive teeth are more special.

In short, the owner of a house is ready to sell his house, and then only cooperates with a fixed house tooth, and the other houses have no chance. And this tooth is known as the exclusive tooth, with full authority to act as an agent for buying and selling.

But this kind of thing is generally rare, after all, generally speaking, the owner of the house wants his house to be sold at a high price, if it is only handed over to a housekeeper to deal with, the price depends on the mood of the housekeeper.

Therefore, generally speaking, the person who can become the exclusive tooth of the owner of a village must have a close relationship with this family, and most of them are connected relatives.

"Aunt Zhang, is it ......" Lu Yunque seemed to suddenly think of something, and looked up at the third aunt of the Zhang family in surprise.

The third aunt of the Zhang family blew the foam leaves on the tea bowl, revealing a smug expression, "That's right, I have the exclusive right to a mansion in my hand." The house is not small, it is a big house with three entrances and three exits, and even if it breaks the reserve price to sell it, it will cost more than 100 taels. It was originally an official old man who repaired it for the elderly, but this old man was later promoted to Yongzhou, and it seemed that he no longer planned to come back, so he sent his servant to sell the house, and my Langjun made friends with the servant, and the official master didn't care if the house could be sold at a high price, and he could only get back one hundred and twenty taels of capital. I have consulted with the servant that if he gives me full authority over the sale of the house, I may give him a rebate of twenty-five taels after the sale, and the rest of the money shall be my own. ”

The third aunt of the Zhang family put down the tea bowl and held Lu Yunque's hand and said: "Your third aunt, I really like you little lady, I lost a child in the early years, if the child is still alive, it will be about the same size as you, your grandfather has also helped my family a lot in the world, I am a person who does not have much wealth, and I can't help you a lot, I will hand over this house to you to sell, Aunt Zhang, I don't want any kickbacks, the reserve price is one hundred and forty-five taels of silver, and the one who sells more is yours." It's okay if you don't want to, after all, it's a violation of the rules, let's think of other ways, and we can always make up the money. With that, he withdrew his hand and wiped the corners of his eyes, and stopped talking.

When Lu Yunque heard Aunt Zhang say that she would hand over this house to herself, her eyes turned red instantly.

This exclusive agency is something that no number of Zhuang Zhai people can't ask for, let alone such a big house. Anyone who comes to see Lu Yunque has picked up a big bargain, but Aunt Zhang is still worried that she can't get over the hurdle in her heart, as if she is still at fault for giving her this thing.

Lu Yunque didn't know what else he could say for a while. got up and knelt down in front of Aunt Zhang and kowtowed. "Aunt Zhang, I, Lu Yunque, have made a name for myself in this Yongxiu County thanks to your care, and today you have done me a great favor, and I can't repay my great kindness."

The third aunt of the Zhang family hurriedly got up and helped Lu Yunque up. "Why do you want to see me like this, hurry up and don't bump into anything."

After Lu Yunque was helped up, he felt a little embarrassed that his face was full of tears, so he wiped the tears off his face, but this hand just fell to the ground, and there were a few more gray marks on his face.

The third aunt of the Zhang family pulled Lu Yunque to sit down, took out a handkerchief from her arms and wiped her face carefully, and after Lu Yunque calmed down, she began to talk to her about the situation of the house.

Half an hour passed before the two of them said this.

The third aunt of the Zhang family looked at the sky outside and smiled: "It's not too early this day, I should go back too, if I don't go back, I'm afraid that the door of this workshop will be closed." With that, he got up, shook his dress, and walked out the door.

Lu Yunque originally wanted to leave Aunt Zhang Sanjiao at her house for dinner, but seeing that it was indeed late, and it would be troublesome if the door of the workshop was closed, he didn't say anything to stay, and then got up and sent Aunt Zhang to the mouth of the alley.

After sending Aunt Zhang's son Lu Yunque returned home, he closed the door of his house, and he was not in a hurry to cook, his mind was still thinking carefully about what Aunt Zhang said just now.

The house is indeed good, but it is precisely because of its good that Lu Yunque is a little worried. There are two kinds of houses that are not easy to sell, the best and the worst, the worst is because people can't sell it, and the best is because even if people look at it, they can't buy it back.

Lu Yunque just learned from Aunt Zhang that this house is in the southeast of Yuemingfang.

This Yuemingfang is a well-known literati lane, and most of the people living in it are rich and talented. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and it is a place with good scenery.

However, the richest people in today's world are often not those literati, but those businessmen and high-ranking officials who are in business are the richest, and only they can buy this house of more than 100 taels of silver in one go.

But there are no high-ranking officials in this small place of Yongxiu County, and most of the merchants are rich and talented, and they are not happy to live with those literati and Confucians.

The minimum reserve price on his side is one hundred and forty-five taels of silver, plus the rebate for eating, this house has to be sold for at least one hundred and sixty-five taels of silver. Not to mention Yongxiu County, even in Maozhou City, there are not many people who can take out so much silver in one go.

Thinking about it this way, this house is not so easy to sell.

Lu Yunque shook his head and decided not to think about it for now. I was in no mood to cook anymore after such a fuss today, so I cleaned up and went to bed, resting first before I had the strength to solve things.
