found a blue-curtained carriage, Er Ya lifted her skirt up, and Lu Zhong sat at the door with the coachman. Today, Ling'er handed over to Sanniu, Sanniu is ten years old, and now she can take care of her sister, and Erya can rest assured.

The carriage is not a boat, and it cannot go directly from the Chengxin River, so it has to go around a long distance, and it is almost noon when it reaches the agreed place.

The carriage stopped in front of the two majestic stone lions, Lu Zhong went down first and set up the small ladder, and the second girl lifted the curtain, gently lifted the skirt and got out of the carriage.

Lu Zhong stepped forward and knocked on the door, and in front of the three heavy brown wooden doors, Lu Zhong appeared to be short. On the door hangs this inconspicuous plaque "Liang Mansion". Erya thought, why is such a magnificent gate hanging a small family plaque?

After a while, there was a heavy "squeak" sound from the side door, and an old man came out to take a look, and saw a carriage parked in front of the door, and a few people stood in front of the door.

Erya smiled politely: "Yes, I made an appointment with the lord of your mansion to talk about something today."

The old man saw that Erya was dressed extraordinarily and had an outstanding temperament, so he smiled back and said, "Please come in the distinguished guest."

As soon as she entered the gate, Erya began to like it. Go around the shadow wall to the right, the cobblestone road on the ground, a lotus flower pattern in three steps, Erya looked at the wall, and suddenly found that this wall turned out to be double-layered, and Erya estimated that she and Lu Zhong were not as high as this wall. This is not a traditional house, beyond the shadow wall is a huge yard, the garden is scattered with begonia flowers.

However, it is not surprising that Jiangnan is rich, and large families like this are easy to be targeted by thieves, and it is common to build the wall a little higher.

The high wall separates the big house from the outside world, Er Ya has already liked this house from the wall, and continues to walk forward, the old man stopped, turned to Er Ya and said: "I'll send you here, go from here, the old lady is drinking tea in the pavilion opposite."

Erya nodded, and walked forward, it turned out to be a particularly large lake, the lake was full of hibiscus, lotus flowers were in full bloom, and starry pink and white flowers poked out of the lotus leaves.

The hot summer breeze seems to cool down here, the wind blowing from the lotus pond makes Er Ya can't help but take a deep breath, the lotus has no fragrance, but the fragrance with the body makes people feel happy. A long bamboo bridge in the lotus pond winds its way to the depths of the lotus pond. I can't help but think of "the winding path leads to the secluded place, and the Zen room is deep with flowers and trees." ”

"You're waiting for me here." Erya turned to Lu Zhong who came with him.

Lu Zhong opened his mouth to say something, but Er Ya had already stepped on the wooden bridge, Lu Zhong glanced at Er Ya worriedly and closed his mouth.

Erya wants to not even be able to go over to the old man who led the way, I think the master is Xijing, if she still wants to bring someone over, wouldn't it be a break in the rules? So Erya left Lu Zhong on the other side.

Erya today wore a goose yellow placket embroidered with a branch skirt, from the depths of the lotus pond slowly walked, as if step by step lotus, two white jade beaded hairpins on the lily bun touched together between the steps to make a crisp sound, the breeze rose, the skirt flew, quite a dusty posture.

Gong Xuanchi said in his heart: "I really didn't expect this well-behaved girl to have such a gentle and demure time." Such a second girl has less vitality on weekdays, and more elegance and charm of women.

Erya didn't know that her demeanor and dress today fell into the eyes of the man sitting on the second floor of the pavilion.

There is a thin layer of gauze around the pavilion, presumably to prevent mosquitoes, and the gauze curtain swings with the wind, faintly revealing the smell of sandalwood. There was an old woman sitting inside, and Erya guessed that it was the lady in the old man's mouth.

"Hello old lady, I'm Lu Mingfeng, who made an appointment with you to meet today, is it convenient for you to meet?"

"Come in and sit." A slightly tired voice sounded, and Erya gently lifted the curtain and walked in. When I entered the second girl, I saw the title deed on the table at a glance, and the title deed was generously placed on the table, and the old lady was so sure that this business could be done?

Suppressing the doubts in her heart, Erya pulled down her skirt and sat down, the old lady handed her a cup of tea, Erya felt that the atmosphere was inexplicably a little weird.

"Old lady, I want to ask you if this house can be cheaper?"

The old lady looked at the lotus pond for a long time and didn't come back to her senses, and sighed lightly for a while, "I didn't want to give up this place where I have lived for decades, but now I can sell it to you, you say, how much silver can you give." ”

It can be seen from the folded facial features that this old lady must have been a beauty when she was young, she picked up the tea and blew a layer of mist, took a sip and said leisurely: "Girl, don't go around in circles with me, how much silver can you give?"

Erya thought about it, this old lady is a wise person at first glance, and going around in circles with her will definitely make her unhappy. If you don't say what you mean directly, you may have a better chance of negotiating. This is called meeting people, and different people may be able to achieve better results by communicating in different ways.

"Old lady, I'll tell you the truth, all I can take out is five hundred taels of silver, but ......" The old lady's eyes suddenly flashed, who gave her the courage to this girl, and if she didn't have a thousand taels, she dared to come to her to talk about a business of five thousand taels! However, she quickly calmed down and continued to listen to Erya, "I am going to open a big restaurant in Lin'an City, if you want, I can count the money owed to you as a part of it, and give you the corresponding profit money every month according to how much of your money is accounted for." ”

The old lady looked at Erya and smiled, "That's it, I don't understand what you mean, but I don't want any profit from you, since you want to open a restaurant, then it's better to wait for you to make money and then pay it back to me, I want to leave here now, the reason why I opened a high price of five thousand taels is to find a person who wants to buy a house in good faith, and now only you come to the door, it can be seen that you are the destined person of this house, and I will sell this house to you." ”

Erya almost thought that she had heard it wrong, but she didn't expect this old lady to be so easy to talk and give such a big bargain, so she was overjoyed and nodded her head in agreement.

The old lady said that she would leave in three days, and the things in this house would soon be vacated, and the second girl would be able to move in, and the second girl would leave the Liang Mansion when she arrived.

On the carriage back to the inn, Erya couldn't help but wonder what the people of the Liang Mansion were doing, and there was no news at all.

After the second girl left, a person jumped on the pavilion, dressed in red, but not as beautiful as the man.

"This is a silver ticket for you, as for your son, he will soon be able to get out of the prison, but in the future you had better go far, if you are caught and recognized, I am afraid that the Governor of the River will not be able to do well in his negligence!" Gong Xuanchi was still so cold in front of people, even on this hot summer day, his words were three points cold.

Where did you go, and why haven't you come back? In the No. 1 room of the Haoyue Inn, Gong Jueyi threw the snuffbox he was playing with on the ground, he asked Gong Xuanchi to come over, and it took more than an hour to go back and forth to ask Gong Xuanchi to be absent, "What kind of anger is the eldest brother?" ”

When he was so angry that he wanted to tear Gong Xuanchi apart, a lazy voice sounded, and Gong Jueyi glanced at him sharply, "What are you doing, go out for more than an hour without permission!" ”

"Big brother, don't be angry, I'm staying here and I'm about to get bored, I want to go to the Qinglou to have a look, in case there is anything wrong with these Qinglou, the fourth brother will come to tell you, and it can be regarded as worrying about the eldest brother."

Hearing Gong Xuanchi's words, Gong Jue's eyes flashed slightly, and his dissatisfaction was overflowing. The air was tense, but it was broken by Gong Jueyi's hearty laughter. "I said what the fourth brother is for, tell the eldest brother about this, what kind of beauty and beauty don't have it, why bother to go to that kind of dirty place."
