Chapter 242: Merit
An Huahao's heart relaxed for the time being.
"Without further ado, let's go now." An Huahao didn't want to delay at all, he knew that Xiaotong had a knot in his heart, and he had to untie it quickly.
Alone for a while, no one disturbed him, he slowly explained, saying that he couldn't get back carefully.
Where did Mei Xiaotong know An Huahao's calculations, she was a decisive character, and she was also worried that things would change later, so she nodded at the moment: "I'll go back and tell my family, I'll rush to the town tonight, and I'll go to the county seat early tomorrow morning." β
An Huahao stood up: "I'll send you down the mountain, wait for you at the entrance of the village, and take a shortcut to the town." β
The two discussed, and Mei Xiaotong didn't say much, and went straight to the bottom of the mountain.
When she arrived at the bottom of the mountain, Mei Xiaotong went straight home, and An Huahao saw that Mei Xiaotong's back was gone, so he turned around and rushed to the entrance of the village from the path.
When Mei Xiaotong returned home, she happened to see Mrs. Li, and pulled her into the house to explain while packing her luggage.
When Mrs. Li heard that her daughter was going to buy a shop in the city, she was immediately happy and worried: "Then our family doesn't have enough money?" β
An Huahao said that if you pay together, it is considered a partnership to do business. If you lose it, you can count it, and if you make it, you can just give some interest. Mei Xiaotong comforted Mrs. Li.
Mrs. Li frowned and advised: "Then you have to be careful yourself, after all, it is a big deal to buy a shop, pay more attention, don't listen to An Huahao for everything." β
Mei Xiaotong agreed, and then explained in turn: "Now that the eldest brother and the third brother in the family can stand up to the trouble, it won't take a few days to go out this time, and I will talk about it when I come back." Count the days, and when I come back, I will just go to Chongzigou to see the situation on the fourth brother's side. My mother looked at me and I didn't feel at ease anymore. β
"Mother is waiting for me at home and will come back to bring you something delicious." The last sentence was like coaxing a child, which made Mrs. Li angry all of a sudden.
Pretending to be angry, he waved his hand: "Let's go, let's go......"
Mei Xiaotong put away the package, hugged Mrs. Li, and hurriedly went out.
Out of the village, An Huahao was waiting behind a bush, saw Mei Xiaotong coming, took the package in her hand, and the two went to the town.
When it was dark, I rushed to the town.
Mei Xiaotong was still thinking about where to stay at night, so An Huahao took her around a few times and arrived at a familiar gate.
This is not Qin Orion's yard?
Mei Xiaotong turned her head to look at An Huahao in surprise.
Anhua Hao opened the door and quietly entered the courtyard.
He opened the door of the side room, took out the candle and lit it, and the room immediately lit up.
"Xiaotong, you sit down first, I'll boil water and get some food." Anwar Hao is busy.
Mei Xiaotong looked at the house, a simple room, cleaned up, but not very popular, only two familiar clothes on the kang.
An Huahao happened to come in again, and when he saw Mei Xiaotong's look, he was busy explaining
Release: "This is the house I used to live in occasionally, and no one has ever come in. β
Mei Xiaotong nodded and didn't say anything.
When An Huahao boiled the water, he didn't know where to get a food box, opened it, picked out a few bowls of rice, and the room was suddenly filled with fragrance.
"Hungry, huh? Eat first. An Huahao knew that Mei Xiaotong was only afraid of questions.
Mei Xiaotong glanced at An Huahao, sat down, and tasted it, it was actually the taste of Zheng Shopkeeper's Restaurant.
When An Huahao saw Mei Xiaotong eating, he also sat down, and while serving Mei Xiaotong vegetables, he explained: "There is an inn in the town, which is small and unclean, I am worried that you will not be used to it, so I will simply take you here for one night." This courtyard has not been visited since they left, and it is quiet and cheap......"
Speaking of this, he glanced at Mei Xiaotong cautiously.
Mei Xiaotong put down her chopsticks and listened to her ears.
"The deed left by the two of them, Xiaotong, do you see?" An Huahao carefully placed the few deeds on the table.
Mei Xiaotong glanced at the deed: "It's good for you to make your own decisions." β
An Huahao's remaining words were blocked, and he only felt that his mouth was full of bitterness.
Gritted his teeth, "Xiaotong, the last time I took the medicine, it was my fault, I didn't think about it!" There are my selfish plans in this, and I don't know where to start with some things now, and when things come to light, I will naturally explain them to you one by one. β
"I'm just telling you that I didn't take the poison that day, I guessed their methods, and prepared an antidote just in case. If nothing else, now that I have you, my life is no longer just my own, how can I be in danger easily? I didn't breathe with you in advance, because I was worried about ......."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Mei Xiaotong: "I understand your concerns, and I also know what you want to say." Since you mentioned this matter today, then let's take advantage of the fact that we will make everything clear today, so as not to misunderstand it in the future......" An Huahao immediately looked at Mei Xiaotong nervously, and it was rare that he couldn't speak: "What...... What to say clearly? β
Mei Xiaotong said with a straight face: "When you took the medicine, I remembered later that I was really unhappy. But then I also figured out that everyone has their own secrets and hardships. As far as I am concerned, I have something to hide from you, so who is in the right to accuse you of hiding from me......"
"Xiaotong, it's my fault for this, you should blame me and blame me, you blame me for blaming me and resenting me, and I'm happy. If you don't take me to heart, you won't be upset! I know in my heart that you are hiding those things from me, the less people know, the better, in case you leak your words, it will cause great disaster, I understand it. β
"Although you didn't tell me, you didn't hide it from me, no matter how confused I am, I know your heart for me. Xiaotong, this thing I planned is actually related to my life experience. I'm also skeptical now, and I don't know what the outcome will be. β
"So I don't know how to tell you, I'm thinking that I'll wait until I find out something really true......" An Huahao was anxious, he keenly knew that this was an opportunity for himself, if
If you don't catch it, I'm afraid there will always be a gap between me and Xiaotong in the future.
Mei Xiaotong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, An Huahao is really good.
knows what is wrong, and is willing to face it honestly, without prevarication, without being strong and not allowing himself to mix, and not coaxing himself insincerely.
It is always a pleasant thing for one's own efforts to be seen and remembered by the other party.
Now that An Huahao has already expressed her position, she should also accept it when she sees it.
She doesn't need to know all the things and secrets of An Huahao, what she needs is An Huahao's attitude and set the tone for getting along in the future.
When the goal was achieved, Mei Xiaotong smiled slightly: "I also know your intentions, and now I have said all my words, and the knots in my heart have ended." If we have anything in the future, don't keep it in our hearts, and talk about it early. β
Seeing that Mei Xiaotong finally showed a smiling face, An Huahao also felt light, and pushed the deed in front of her with great eyes: "That Xiaotong, what do you think should be done with this deed?" β
Mei Xiaotong picked up the deed and flipped through it: "Since they dare to give it, why don't we dare to ask for it?" Take it first, and it won't come in handy later. β
"It's all up to you." Seeing that Mei Xiaotong was willing to take over, An Huahao happily stuffed Mei Xiaotong with the gift letter left by Qin Orion and Shopkeeper Zhang, as well as the receipt written by Shopkeeper Zhang: "You have all these things." β
Mei Xiaotong looked at it twice and put it away.
The two of them completely revealed the matter.
After sleeping all night, the two arrived at the dart bureau early in the morning, and it happened that Steward Lu led the team today.
They are all old acquaintances, and Steward Lu also knows about An Huahao's eyes.
Busy with concern, An Huahao only vaguely said that he found a strange person in the mountains, prescribed a few doses of medicine, and after taking it for a few days, he could barely see things with his eyes.
I want to go to the county seat to see if there are any good doctors.
Steward Lu didn't ask much, only comforted a few words, and patted his chest to promise that he would let the people in the dart bureau also help to inquire around, and if there was a good doctor, he would notify the two of them as soon as possible.
Mei Xiaotong and An Huahao thanked the Lu manager, and when they arrived in Jing County, the two said goodbye and left.
It made Steward Lu look at the backs of the two and sigh.
An Huahao found an inn and the two stayed.
In the middle of the night, Mei Xiaotong noticed that there was movement in An Huahao's room next door, and several groups of people came.
Vaguely listening to what Boss Tian said, he only said a few words to reduce the price.
Mei Xiaotong knew that An Huahao also had power in Jing County, and presumably these people were his subordinates who came to report the situation.
I didn't hear it, and I fell asleep not long after.
As soon as the morning dawned, An Huahao knocked on the door and said that he had asked the Chinese to talk to Boss Tian.
After the two of them finished breakfast unhurriedly, they saw a middle-aged man walking over, and when they saw An Huahao, a smile immediately appeared on their faces, and they came up: "Master Song, the things you explained have been done." field
The boss agreed, and the two clothing shops under his name, a dyeing workshop, and a set of small courtyards were all discounted with 1,000 taels of silver. β
Mei Xiaotong's eyes lit up, "There is still a yard?" β
How shrewd are the middle? Originally, when I saw that there was a young and beautiful woman next to the employer, I muttered in my heart, and listened to the woman ask again, but the employer didn't react at all, so I knew that the relationship between the two was extraordinary.
If it weren't for Mei Xiaotong still combing the hair of an unmarried girl, he would have thought that he was the head of the employer.
Even so, the Chinese attitude is very respectful: "I don't know what to call this girl?" β
"This is my wife who has not passed through the door, and she has always taken care of these affairs in the house, so you can just talk to her. Xiaotong, this is Brother Yan, the most fair and famous Chinese in Jing County. An Huahao introduced.
The surprise on Yan Zhongren's face was barely hidden.
He has been in this business for many years, and there are two husbands and wives, but he has never seen this kind of person who handed over the family business to his fiancΓ©e before they got married.
This employer doesn't look like a person who is afraid of his mother-in-law?
But after all, he was well-informed, Yan Zhongren was only surprised for a moment, and then came back to his senses and explained to Mei Xiaotong in detail, where is the shop and what are the advantages?
Where is the dye mill and how much does it occupy. A set of small yards has several entrances, in which street.
It was clearly stated, not exaggerated, and not concealed the shortcomings.
In the end, he said: "It stands to reason that this shop and dyeing workshop is more than this price, but this seller has offended the nobles, the business can't go on, and Jing County can't stay, so there is no way, so we can pack and sell it cheaply together, so that we can go home with the silver to buy some land for the elderly." β
"There are also many people who have seen it, but they have not talked about it, first, the seller asks for a lump sum payment, and second, he has to put on the dyed cloth of his house. I heard that the seller was offended by the nobleman because of this cloth, who would dare to take it? Therefore, the price was pressed again and again, this is really the lowest price, it was originally a thousand taels without a yard, but now there is no way, the seller reluctantly agreed to bring the yard, and it can't be low, otherwise he would rather not sell. β
Yan Zhong Minifigure introduced it carefully, and Mei Xiaotong also listened carefully.
After Yan Zhongren finished speaking, Mei Xiaotong pondered: "One thousand taels of silver is no problem, but I am not suitable to come forward, so I want to trouble Brother Yan to come forward and help us do these things." I wonder if it's going to be too much trouble? β
Of course, she and An Huahao can't come forward, but they are afraid that if they see the two of them, Boss Tian will not sell them to death.
Yan Zhongren promised that they were the best at doing this in this business, and they could do it properly with or without an employer.
"That's okay, if it happens, we will definitely thank Brother Yan again." Mei Xiaotong took out a few hundred taels of silver tickets from her purse that An Huahao gave her last night, and took out two of them and handed them to Yan Zhongren.
"This is a deposit, and after completing the transfer procedures, the remaining silver will be paid in full."
Yan Zhongren saw that the fiancΓ©e of this employer could
He was an understanding person, and he didn't say much, so he took the silver ticket and went out......
Yan Zhongren went to run errands, and the two of them couldn't leave, so they simply ordered tea and snacks, sat in the private room on the second floor, and waited while eating tea.
The last time Mei Xiaotong came to Jingxian County was several months ago.
The last time I came, I was depressed and angry, and I wasn't in the mood to look at the county seat at all.
Today, I will wait for the shop and yard to arrive in a while, and Mei Xiaotong is naturally in a happy mood.
While eating a snack, I looked around.
The inn they stayed at was located on the most prosperous street in Jing County, with an inn in the back and a restaurant in front.
In front of it is the most lively place in Jing County, the inn is full of shops of all colors, and the shouts are everywhere, attracting literati students and big girls to stop one after another.
Now it's autumn, there are plenty of fruits and vegetables, and this year is quite smooth, and everyone is still getting by.
Farmers on the outskirts of the county town, pushing wheelbarrows and carrying baskets, all of which contain crops in their fields, take advantage of the good weather to sell a few spare money in the county town to subsidize it.
Therefore, the streets were bustling this morning, and it was ten times more lively than in Stone Bridge Town.
Mei Xiaotong looked at the stall selling things below with great interest, thinking that she would buy some seeds or something when she was free, maybe she would be able to use them in the future.
An Huahao drank tea, looking at Mei Xiaotong's fresh and interesting appearance, and couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.
After drinking two pots of tea and changing the dim sum, Mei Xiaotong saw Yan Zhongren coming straight to the restaurant with a happy face.
An Huahao also saw it, and motioned to the shopkeeper to go downstairs and bring Yan Zhongren up.
Yan Zhongren's joy was overflowing: "Two, the matter is done!" β
As he spoke, he took out the deed, and the seller had already pressed his fingerprint and signed it.
There are also house deeds and title deeds, which are placed on the table in front of An Huahao and Mei Xiaotong.
Mei Xiaotong looked at the deed carefully, it was clearly written, where and where it will be located, how big the house is, how much the discount will be, and who it will be transferred to, here is a blank, just fill it in directly.
An Huahao also checked the title deed and house deed, there was no problem, and nodded to Mei Xiaotong.
Mei Xiaotong quickly took out the remaining silver tickets, as well as two ingots of yellow and clear gold, and put them on the table.
Yan Zhongren has also done things for many nobles and rich businessmen, but he has never seen such a good and delicate gold ingot.
After looking at it twice for a while, I couldn't help but weigh it, and immediately concluded that this was a gold ingot of twenty-one taels.
Now such a gold ingot is worth two hundred and forty taels of silver.
I had already given a deposit of two hundred taels of silver bills, plus these two gold ingots, which was six hundred and eighty taels of silver, and then click on the remaining silver bills, no more, no less, three hundred and twenty taels.
Exactly a thousand
Two.
Yan Zhongren put away the silver ticket and gold ingot, and the smile on his face became more and more sincere, this is a big customer.
With the commission of this transaction alone, he will be able to get ten taels of silver.
Therefore, he also asked enthusiastically: "Two, if you need to transfer your account to the government, the small one also has acquaintances, and the price can be cheaper, and you can keep it well." β
Since Mei Xiaotong has paid a large amount of silver, he naturally won't save this, not to mention, with the official seal of the official transfer, even if Boss Tian wants to regret it.
nodded happily: "Then it's troublesome Brother Yan." β
Yan Zhongren wished that there would be more troubles like this, so he carefully led the two to the official mansion, and they were really familiar with the way.
After stuffing a silver ingot into the hand of a small official, the efficiency was very fast, but with a cup of tea, the names of Mei Xiaotong and An Huahao were all changed on the house deed and land deed.
And the tax paid is also half cheaper than the last time I bought the land.
Mei Xiaotong knew that this was the credit of Yan Zhongren, and when she came out, she happily gave Yan Zhongren ten taels of silver.
Yan Zhongren smiled, in front of this person, there was a seller and a buyer.
Now the buyer alone has given ten taels, and the seller will have five taels at that time, and he will earn several months of expenses on this day.
This kind of refreshing big customer, Yan Zhongren naturally wants to have contact in the future, and don't forget himself if he has business: "Two of you, in the future, as long as Jingxian County is buying, selling, leasing and other things, just find me Lao Yan, and keep it for you to do it properly, and you don't have to worry about any snacks." β
Mei Xiaotong is also very satisfied, knowing a local snake like Yan Zhongren, many things will be much easier to do in the future.
At the moment, he also greeted Yan Zhongren with a smile, and the two of them had a good friendship, and within two words, the eldest brother and sister climbed into friendship. Yan Zhongren knew that the two of them did not live in the county seat, and he took the initiative to suggest that he help hang up the house, and if there was a suitable person, he would help rent it out.
This yard is inhabited and popular, and it can collect some rent, which is better than leaving the yard empty and letting the yard fail.
Mei Xiaotong thanked Yan Zhongren without saying anything, and the three of them walked out of the yamen before and after, and before they had gone far, they heard a voice: "Old Yan? Is it done? I'll wait for the money, don't blame me, or I won't spare you, eh, this is ......"
