The next morning, Xia Li and others led a dog and a bear to play by the pond, and then the red needle brought the sunbird colored feathers again. Caimao saw a lot of people, and hid in the trees and didn't come down. The bear liked this beautiful sister so much that he climbed a tree to play with her, and was so frightened that the colored fur flew out and danced on the water.

At the beginning of the year, Xia Li wanted to go back to find Xia's, and the two discussed that they would go around Dongrong Street at this time to see if there was a house they could like.

Ye Jin said with a smile, "It's just outside the house, let's all go and have a look, and we can help with the details." He added, "I asked people to invite Uncle He, he is familiar with this area, and the seller does not dare to shout the price." ”

Before Xia Li could say yes, Ye Jin had already asked the little girl to invite Manager He.

Soon Uncle He came, he was about forty years old, slightly fat, and loyal and honest. Xia Li had only seen him once before.

Xia Li curtsied and smiled, "Trouble Uncle He." ”

Manager He smiled kindly and said, "Miss Xia is polite. When I brought it back from the outside, I want to thank Miss Xia for taking care of it so well. Miss Xia can make a home here, and I am definitely the happiest when it comes, and I am happy for it. ”

What a wonderful person. When Xia Li saw him for the first time, he was not so polite, and there was quite a complaint in his tone, thinking that Xia Li should not hide the tiger, which made his uncle angry for so long, and his cousin was also beaten hard.

Several people took Dangdang and walked east together. Xiong Xiang was sitting by the pond looking at the colored fur in a daze, so he didn't call it, and asked the red needle who took care of the colored fur to help watch it.

Called Xia, and everyone went to the east gate together.

They went out and crossed the small bridge and turned left and turned northernmost part of Tung Wing Street. The northernmost and final row of dwellings is the smallest, and they are all courtyards. The price is the cheapest, and you can buy it for more than ninety taels of silver. Moreover, there is only one house for rent, one tael of silver per month, Xia Li does not think about it.

Xia Li saw Zhao Niuniu at the entrance of the East Hutong, and her family rented it here. She was digging for wild vegetables in the grass not far away.

Ye Jin smiled, "Niu'er, what are you doing?" ”

Zhao Niuniu got up and said with a smile, "I'm digging koji vegetables and mixing bran to feed the chickens." Then he came running with a small basket and said, "Come and sit down at my house, and I will make you sugar water to drink." Put more sugar and sweeten it tightly. ”

Xiao Nizi has a bright smile and a crisp voice, which pleases everyone. Xia Ju took out two pieces of candy from her purse and invited her to eat, Xia Li said a few words to her, Xia helped her flatten her clothes, and Manager He invited her and her father to play in Dusi Mansion.

Everyone laughed a few words, didn't go to her house, and walked forward again.

The middle row is a two-way courtyard with wells of moderate size.

Xia Li and Xia's favorite is here, the front row is a three-entry courtyard, and the price will not be less than two hundred taels, which is too expensive. I have a small family, and there is no need to live in such a big yard.

There are two yards for sale here, and they went to the middle one first. The house is half-new, planted with flowers and trees, repainted, repaired in individual places, and can be moved in with some furniture.

The price was one hundred and fifty taels of silver, but the Xia family negotiated the price and dropped it to one hundred and thirty-five taels.

Xia Li's family of three all took a fancy to this one, and next door was a private school, and the sound of reading was heard very clearly.

Mr. He smiled, "It seems that there is a house in front of you, go and see it again?" ”

The people of this family smiled, "The westernmost house, the house was lived by Lord Jin before, and it was exquisitely made inside, and it was also expensive, I heard that it was not sold for less than two hundred and ten taels of silver." ”

Xia was reluctant and said, "It's all two, and it's seventy-five taels of silver, which is not cost-effective." ”

Ye Jin smiled, "I can't look at it, I'll come back." ”

Xia Li also wanted to go to the front to have a look, so he put his arm around Xia's and smiled, "Take a look and it won't lose meat, it's not suitable, let's come back and buy this one." ”

They went west to the mouth of the alley, facing the small wooden bridge, opposite the east wall of the Dusi Mansion.

Ye Jin stepped forward and knocked on the door, and a doorkeeper in his sixties opened the door, bowed down and smiled, "Ouch, Master He, Master Jin, please come in, please come in." ”

This house looks much newer from the outside, and the yard is wider than the others.

Manager He and Ye Jin greeted the gatekeeper Mr. Wang. The owner of this family used to serve as a thousand households under Ye Feng, and they were all familiar with each other.

When everyone entered, the shadow wall was very elegant, and the five inverted seats were also wider. Entered the hanging flower door, the upper room is five rooms plus two ear rooms, the east and west wings are three rooms plus two ear rooms, the bluestone slab paves the floor, there are also the verandah and the verandah, it is very new, the carved railing painting building, it is very exquisite.

The yard is also relatively wide, and there are a lot of flowers and trees planted in it. A banyan tree and a few bamboo poles were planted in the front yard, two osmanthus trees were planted on both sides of the inner courtyard next to the weeping flower gate, two gardenia trees and a few plum trees under the window of the main house, and there were already a few buds that had just borne fruit on the gardenia tree. The corner of the wall is planted with banana trees and a few green bamboos, and some flowers such as triangular plums, moon seasons, and begonias are planted in front of the veranda of the wing room. The triangular plum blossomed brightly, and the vines climbed the pillars of the verandah, and they were purple and red.

The floors and walls, carved doors and windows are very good, and there are a few bulky pieces of furniture that have not been removed.

After a tour inside and outside the house, not to mention Xia Li, even the eyes of Xia and Xia Ju were full of amazement and like.

Really excellent in every way.

Later, Xia's joy faded again. The same second courtyard is seventy-five taels of silver more expensive than the house I saw just now, which is not cost-effective. She laughed, "It's a nice house." However, it's not something that ordinary people like us can afford to live in. ”

Uncle Wang hurriedly smiled, "This house was a bit expensive before, and it was sold for more than half a year. My lord came to me a letter a few days ago, saying that he was in urgent need of silver, so let's reduce the price and act quickly. It was two hundred and ten taels of silver, but now it is sold for one hundred and sixty taels. ”

Xia Li is happy, it has dropped so much, compared to the house just now, it is only twenty-five taels more expensive, except for changing the window screen, there is almost no need to redecorate and paint.

Xia calculated, and also felt that it was worth the money. smiled with satisfaction, "Lili, how is it?" ”

Xia Li saw that she was full of joy, and smiled, "I think it's okay." He asked Mr. He again, "Uncle He knows the market here, what do you think?" ”

Manager He said with a smile, "Although the price of the second courtyard is expensive, this courtyard does not need to be decorated with more silver, and it is large, which is reasonable." ”

Xia Ju smiled, "I like it too." ”

"Okay, let's buy it." Xia Li said.

If you don't pass the tooth line, you have to find two middle-aged people. Uncle He volunteered to count one, and said that he would invite General Zhao to join the family in the evening, and he would go to the transfer tomorrow.

These two people are considered to have identities, and the Xia Li family and the gatekeepers of the Jin Mansion also believe in them.

In the next morning, Ye Jin accompanied Xia Li and Dangdang to a tooth shop on Jinyan Street to pay a deposit, bought the shop, and went to Yamen to transfer the account tomorrow.
