Chapter VIII Signing
"My house is quoted at one hundred and seventy taels of silver, Lang Jun is a knowledgeable person, the value of this house must have been counted in Lang Jun's heart, whether it is from the area occupied or the materials, this house is worth this price. I see that Lang Jun seems to be a person who likes poetry and books, and Mingyuefang is also a place where readers gather, far away from the noisy city but not far from the main city, and it is also very convenient to live. I think Lang Jun's nephew is not big, it is the age to cultivate his heart, and there is an allusion to the ancient Meng family's wife room as the place where his son Sanyi lived, and finally cultivated his talent, which shows the importance of this environment for children's growth. And this house can be regarded as one of the best houses in Yongxiu County, we have an old saying in our industry that buying high does not go low, no matter how bad this big house is, it has its reserve price to keep ......" Lu Yunque carefully told Lin Yao about the benefits of all aspects, while secretly raising his eyes to look at Lin Yao's expression.
It's just that Lin Yao's expression neither showed hesitation nor heartbeat, and he still looked like a gentle son who was as humble as jade, which made people unable to figure out his thoughts.
"The price of this house is quite high." Lin Yao opened his mouth and said.
Lu Yunque smiled, "The specifications of this house are there, naturally it can't be compared with ordinary houses, and this price is definitely not a high price in similar houses." ”
Lin Yao was silent, took a cup of tea and drank it slowly.
The third aunt of the Zhang family glanced at Lu Yunque and signaled that she could put a little price.
Lu Yunque shook his head slightly, now is not the best time.
When Lin Yao's cup of tea was about to be drunk, Lu Yunque smiled and said, "If Lang Jun really likes that house, I can still go and help Lang Jun talk about it, and I can always talk about three or five taels of silver."
Lin Yao glanced at Lu Yunque and gently put down the teacup in his hand. "The little lady of the Lu family is a person who can speak, I won't make any detours, I can pay a maximum of one hundred and fifty taels of silver for this house, do you think this can be discussed?"
Lu Yunque looked embarrassed, held the teacup in his hand and lowered his head to think carefully, and only raised his head after about half an hour, and said to Lin Yao seriously: "I really can't give the price that Lin Jiaerlang said, even if it is the reserve price given by the previous family, it is more than that. I'll also pay you a bottom directly, the reserve price of the last house is one hundred and sixty taels of silver, and the commission promised to me is two taels of silver, which adds up to one hundred and sixty-two taels of silver. This is the lowest price I can give Lang Jun, can Lang Jun still accept it? After that, there was a little tangled look on his face.
Lin Yao knew that Lu Yunque's price must not be the reserve price, but he didn't know why, seeing the complicated appearance of this little lady, he no longer wanted to be entangled with her about these few taels of silver.
In fact, after going to see the house yesterday, Lin Yao was interested in the house in Mingyuefang, since he promised to find a good place for Lu Jinyan to study, then he would definitely do it, it doesn't matter how much this price is, but Lin Yao has never liked to be the person who is slaughtered by others, and he is also a little curious about this little lady of the Lu family, so he also sat here and talked with them slowly.
Watching Lu Yunque do a set of plays, Lin Yao probably knew why this little lady looked young, but she could eat well in this mixed tooth business.
pinched the right time, sold flaws, and thought about the buyer in and out of the words, plus gave birth to a naturally harmless face, anyone felt that this little lady had done her best for herself, and she couldn't bear to say anything and refuse.
"Since the people of Luya have said so, I can't live up to the kindness of the people of Luya, I bought this house, and you will set the time for signing the contract." Lin Yao looked at Lu Yunque and said.
Lu Yunque was originally a little apprehensive in his heart, the words he just said were about seven points of truth mixed with three points of falsehood, if this Lin Jiaerlang insisted on lowering the price, then he could only continue to grind with him, and he could only give it at a low price, after all, there were few people who could afford this house, and this Lin Jiaerlang suddenly relented and made Lu Yunque a little embarrassed.
"Oh... Oh, okay, then I'll go get the deed early tomorrow morning. Lu Yunque replied with a slight stammer.
Lin Yao turned his head and chuckled, but didn't say anything. The third aunt of the Zhang family, who was still on the side, touched Lu Yunque with her elbow and signaled that Lu Yunque should sign the house deed.
Lu Yunque reacted and took out a pre-written deed from his arms, borrowed pen and ink from Qi's shopkeeper, filled in the place that should be filled in, handed it to Lin Yao, and motioned for him to sign.
Lin Yao took the brush, carefully read the paperwork, and after confirming that it was correct, he signed his name on it, raised his hand and handed it back to Lu Yunque.
"Lu Yaren's handwriting is good, have you practiced it?" Lin Yao said with a smile as he handed the pen to Lu Yunque.
"My grandfather is good, he taught me." Lu Yunque folded the paperwork and put it in his arms.
Lin Yao wanted to continue asking, but saw the third aunt of the Zhang family on the side shaking her head to herself, and saw a somewhat sad look on Lu Yunque's face, so he kept silent.
After that, the three of them chatted about the pleasures of Yongxiu County over tea and snacks, and after about two quarters of an hour, Lu Yunque said goodbye first because he had other things to deal with.
The third aunt of the Zhang family ordered a few dishes to take back for wine and eat in the evening, and while waiting for the dishes, she also chatted with Lin Yao on the side about Lu Yunque.
"Lin Erlang, don't blame the old woman for being rude just now, this matter of the Lu family's father is a painful thing in the child's heart." The third aunt of the Zhang family sighed.
"No, no, I'm just curious." Lin Yao called for a pot of wine, poured a glass and handed it to the third aunt of the Zhang family.
"The father of the Lu family is named Lu Qi, and he is a teacher in Yongxiu County, he is highly educated, kind and kind, and the neighbors respect him very much. It's just that I accidentally contracted a disease nine years ago, and it didn't take long to go, and the lark was only seven years old that year, and her mother was a down-and-out lady, and she was heartbroken when she encountered this, and she cried so much that she cried on the side. ”
The third aunt of the Zhang family took the wine glass and drank it in one sip and continued: "Our neighbors helped to erect the mourning hall, this little girl had a white cloth wrapped around her head, knelt down and kowtowed to us one by one to thank her, with tears in her eyes, it made people feel distressed to look at it. Later, her aunt got married, she was afraid that she would drag her aunt down, so she stayed at home alone, and her body was not as high as the stove. ”
"Then what did this little lady of the Lu family do with Zhuang Zhai's teeth?" Lin Yao asked.
"Because the money comes quickly, the woman's family can't do any heavy work, and the pulp washing work can't make any money. Others say that this girl only ran away with me at the age of fifteen, but in fact she had already learned these things from me when she was thirteen. The third aunt of the Zhang family raised her hand and poured herself another glass of wine.
"At that time, when she was still young, she followed me every day with a leather kettle, and went to the village to see the houses, sometimes for a whole day. The child's skin is tender, and the feet are full of blackened blood blisters at the end of the day, this girl does not call, and when she returns home at night, she burns the needle red, sits on the kang and picks them one by one, and follows me the next day with the soil medicine, and she has come to today step by step......" The third aunt of the Zhang family wiped the corners of her eyes while saying.
Lin Yao listened quietly on the side, occasionally renewing a glass of wine for the third aunt of the Zhang family.
But the cold dishes were packed and sent up in half a moment, and the doctor saw that the eyes of the third aunt of the Zhang family were red, and he thought that the business was not negotiated, so he secretly sent a plate of fried peanuts to the third aunt of the Zhang family, and persuaded her to be relieved, which made the two cry and laugh.
Xie Linyao, the third aunt of the Zhang family, said goodbye and left after drinking, and Lin Yao sat for a while and got up and went upstairs.
Early in the morning of the second day, it was raining heavily, Lin Yao finished his breakfast in the lobby, glanced at the empty streets outside, and thought to himself that Lu Yunque would not come again after such a heavy rain.
So he turned around and wanted to ask the doctor to pack a breakfast and send it upstairs, but there was a sudden sound of crackling footsteps at the door, and when he turned his head, he saw that Lu Yunque was standing at the door with an umbrella outside, she was wearing a light blue floral dress, and a circle of fish patterns was embroidered with dark silver silk thread on the cuffs of her half-arm, and she carried a delicate bag on her body, and pulled her hair high with a wooden hairpin in the style of a flowing cloud, revealing a slender neck.
"The little lady of the Lu family is dressed so formally today, but is there anything important?" Lin Yao said a little teasingly.
Lu Yunque smiled, put the collected umbrella in a small bamboo basket in the corner, and walked over slowly.
"I'm going to attend an elder's birthday banquet later, and I'm in a hurry, so I'm dressed like this." Lu Yunque replied.
Lin Yao glanced at Lu Yunque, some fine droplets of water stuck to her hair, and she walked with a flash, which added a bit of liveliness to her.
The two went to the table in the southwest corner of the lobby and sat down, Lu Yunque took out a folded piece of oilskin paper from his arms, slowly opened it on the table, and took out two letters of appointment from it.
"These are the two contracts given to me by the previous seller, Lin Jiaerlang will see if there are any questions, if not, please ask Erlang to pay a part of the deposit according to the above agreement, and I will also notify the upper family to handle the handover." Lu Yunque said and handed over the two pieces of paper.
You shook the contract and read it carefully, and said, "No problem, then please wait for a while, and I'll go upstairs to get the deposit." With that, he got up and walked upstairs.
Lu Yunque raised his hand to greet the doctor who was cleaning up on the side, and ordered a broken jade crispy cake to take away.
"The little lady of the Lu family is going to participate in the 60th birthday of the old man of the Fu family, a few days ago, when his servants came to the store to order cold dishes, he said that his old man likes to eat some refreshing snacks recently, these days the osmanthus soft group in the store is selling OK, the little lady wants to try?" The Doctor spoke.
"Thank you to the third brother of the Yang family, then I'll buy another osmanthus soft ball." Lu Yunque got up and smiled and saluted the doctor.
"It's okay, little things, little things." The doctor smiled and waved his hand, and turned to go to the back kitchen to report the order.
As soon as Lu Yunque sat down, he saw Lin Yao slowly walking down from the upper floor, still holding a light blue money bag in his hand.
"This is a deposit, please check it out." Lin Yao handed the bag in his hand to Lu Yunque.
Lu Yunque took it, opened the bag and checked it carefully, then weighed it quietly, looked up and said with a smile: "The number is right."
After that, he borrowed the pen and ink from the counter of the store, signed his name on two covenants, took out a box of red clay from his arms, printed his handprint next to his name, blew his signature and handed over the covenant.
Lin Yao took it, signed it according to the appearance of the lark, and pressed his handprint. Lu Yunque pulled back the two pieces of paper and looked at them carefully, and after confirming that they were correct, he handed them to Lin Yao.
"This covenant is in duplicate, one for you and one for me, and please keep it properly for Lang Jun, and please bring this covenant with you when you hand over to your family." Lu Yunque said seriously.
Lin Yao nodded, folded his appointment and put it into his arms.
As soon as the two of them received the appointment, the third brother of the Yang family walked out of the back kitchen with two packaged snacks.
Lu Yunque stretched out his hand to take the snacks, asked the doctor to write the account, and then said goodbye to Lin Yao and left.
It's just that it was a little inconvenient to hold an umbrella because he was holding a snack in his hand, so Lin Yao stepped forward when he saw this, reached out and took Lu Yunque's paper umbrella, and handed it over after holding it up.
"Thank you, Erro Hayashi." Lu Yunque smiled and thanked him, took the paper umbrella and walked out.
Lin Yao glanced at Lu Yunque walking in the rain, the rain fell on the ground and splashed fine droplets, making the ground feel foggy, the street was lonely, Lu Yunque was petite, and there was a kind of weak beauty when looked at from a distance.
