Chapter 132: Buying a House
Seeing that the weather was getting colder and colder, and the Cui family was still crowded into Xiaocui's house, Yun Duoduo felt that it was not a problem. The end of the year is approaching, and it is always difficult to celebrate the New Year in someone else's home.
These days, Yun Duoduo and Cui Pingsheng are taking care of Granny Cui, but fortunately, although Granny Cui is weak, she is also resistant to injury and recovers quickly.
When Granny Cui got better, Yun Duoduo discussed the matter of moving with Cui Pingsheng.
Cui Pingsheng also felt guilty, the Cui family led a branch to settle here more than a hundred years ago, and Cui Pingsheng's father built the current mansion when he was alive. In the clan, he has a little face, although he unfortunately died early, Cui Pingsheng's family is not very rich in the entire Jiangzhou City, but people also think highly of him, because his father built a gate and a house.
Now that the house built by his father with his own hands has been destroyed, he feels very uncomfortable.
"It is a big deal to build a house on this pillar, and it will take a year or two at least, and it will be too troublesome to choose craftsman materials and choose auspicious days." There are many clouds.
Cui Pingsheng also nodded: "Indeed." ”
Yun Duoduo thought for a while: "I calculated the family's money just now, but it's enough to buy a house quickly." ”
Cui Pingsheng didn't know much about this, and looked at Yun Duoduo with some surprise: "Buy a house?" ”
Yun Duoduo said: "We are not moving to a new house from the old house, but the original house is gone, and it can't be delayed." My mother is old and can't spend the New Year in someone else's house. ”
Cui Pingsheng sighed: "It's the same reason, but where can I buy a house I like so quickly now?" ”
Yun Duoduo smiled: "If Brother Cui is willing, he will invite Wang Po to come tomorrow, let's tell me about this, when the news goes out, someone will come to sell it, let's bid high." ”
Cui Pingsheng was stunned by what she said, and he didn't know what to say.
To be honest, he didn't even know how much money he had at home.
He used to travel and study, and the affairs of the family were handed over to his mother, and he was not very old, and he was a man who was studying, so he didn't care much about these things in money, and it was not convenient for him to calculate it every day.
His mother was not the kind of powerful housewife, she was kind and ruthless, and in the event of a disaster, she exempted the tenants of the family from rent, and there were two child servants in the family, and when they reached the age of marriage, they were let go home, and they were given red envelopes to go back to settle down.
Cui Pingsheng saw all this, and he felt that there shouldn't be much money at home.
If you buy a house now, you must not be able to buy a house that is the same as before, the house handed down by your father has become smaller in your own hands, it can be said that you are not a descendant, Cui Pingsheng was a little hesitant in his heart.
It costs a little more to buy a house than to build a house.
Yun Duoduo seemed to know what he was thinking, so he smiled slowly: "Brother Cui, don't worry, we still have about a thousand taels of silver in our family, and we can buy a medium-sized house in Jiangzhou City for five hundred taels, and the rest can still be turned over one or two." ”
"One thousand taels!" Cui Pingsheng was startled when she called her, "When did you get so much money?" ”
Yun Duoduo said: "Slowly saving, the money is saved, the tuition fees of the previous students, as well as the female red made by my mother and me, are all taken out and sold." Although the family's rent is not much, it is a little bit anyway. And you occasionally copy books for people, and the shopkeeper of the bookstore I heard a few days ago that our family is in trouble, and he also sent the money in advance. ”
Cui Pingsheng: "......"
He copied books purely for the convenience of memory, and then he could subsidize some of the family, so he could get a few bucks!
Yun Duoduo said honestly: "There are also some money left by the brothers and sisters of the Dugu family, the more ...... Yue Chang'an also gave a little. ”
Cui Pingsheng nodded, the tuition fee of the students here is probably more, after all, the teacher's restraint is not fixed, and some students have more money, so they will naturally give more. As for the money given by friends, it was all emergency money sealed according to the rules. His mentors and friends have all sent money, as for how there are so many, it is probably because their family suddenly has two friends from the great family.
"Written it all down?" Cui Pingsheng asked.
Yun Duoduo nodded: "Naturally, we have to write it down, there are things at home, and the gifts given by others, my mother and I have written them down, and when there are things in other people's homes, we naturally have to go back to the past, we can only be more than others, not less than others." lest others laugh at it. ”
Cui Pingsheng nodded, he is a righteous gentleman, he got the money of the Dugu family and the Yue family, although the money is a bit much, but it is not inferior, in terms of background, his surname is a little higher than these two people, in terms of money, he thinks that he is a gentleman, and he is not afraid of not being able to repay this favor in the future.
The two summed it up, and then told Granny Cui about this plan, and Granny Cui naturally agreed, the old man has always been kind, and she knows that Yun Duoduo is capable, so she will hand over everything to Yun Duoduo.
The next day, Yun Duoduo called Wang Po over and inquired about buying a house.
Wang Po is a well-known middleman, who walks through the street window, and people are looking for slaves and maids to buy and sell at home.
"The old woman is in the business of buying and selling maids in other people's homes, and the business of buying a house has not been encountered once a year, since it is a matter of Mr. Cui's family, the old woman naturally has to do her best." Mrs. Wang said happily that if a large family buys a slave maid, it is only an intermediate fee of two taels if it is bought well, and if the business of buying and selling the house is completed, it can be wrapped in a big red envelope.
Yun Duoduo smiled: "There is Granny Lao." ”
Granny Wang asked her what kind of house she wanted, and how many people she wanted to live in.
Yun Duoduo said: "There are not many people in the family, only me, Brother Cui and my mother. ”
Granny Wang said: "The small courtyard is enough, the population is not large, there is no need for a big house, Mr. Cui is still young." ”
Granny Wang also knew that the Cui family was unlucky, first Cui Pingsheng's father was gone early, and his mother worked hard to keep the family. Naturally, I can't buy this big house.
Yun Duoduo smiled: "It's not too young, my mother is old, I was about to buy two little girls to take care of, you know, I still have two students who want to come over to study and learn to be popular, it's not good that the students in the courtyard can't stand." ”
As soon as Granny Wang heard that she was going to buy a girl, she immediately felt that there was a door, this Yun Duoduo is a smart and clever person, and it is not unreasonable that the family has saved some money
。
"Then according to the girl's intentions, do you want to buy a big one?" Wang Po asked.
Yun Duoduo also smiled: "It's not that it's big, it's just a little bigger than the original Cui family, and my mother-in-law also knows that this day can't be inferior to one generation or another." ”
Wang Po understood: "Understood, the old woman will inquire about you." ”
Yun Duoduo said again: "If you see an honest girl, also give me a letter, there are many things at home, and you can't leave anyone for a day." Please also bother about the house, it's about to be the moon, it's not good that the family has nowhere to celebrate the New Year. ”
The princess answered, and went out with joy.
In the next few days, Yun Duoduo gave the students a vacation, saying that they would take care of Granny Cui, and some of the students were close to her, but the little girls came over to help Granny Cui boil medicine for three days, and talked to Granny Cui.
When the old man saw these lively girls, his health improved much faster.
However, Yue Chang'an disappeared for several days, and Yun Duoduo thought that he was doing something important.
As a result, he vomited bitterness: "I'm looking for a job!" ”
“?” Cui Pingsheng and Xiaocui were stunned.
"So you still have to work." Xiao Cui exclaimed, "I thought you were eating and sleeping all day long. ”
Yue Chang'an: "......"
When he first came to Jiangzhou City, he wanted to find something to do, so he went to the martial arts hall to be a master, but later he thought that the road was far away, and he had provoked Widow Xu, so it was not interesting, so he didn't go.
Later, he went to the bookstore to copy books for others, but he didn't make much money.
Later, he even wanted to go to the yamen to catch people, but the Taishou found him, and the yamen soon didn't dare to use him.
He had to live a foolish life with nothing to do, and then observe the people's feelings.
It's just that the more he perceives, the more he feels that life is hard, and it is really not easy for ordinary people to earn a mouthful of food. He kept looking for things to do, and then kept leaving, and then Jiangzhou City almost knew about him.
People say that the little Yue who lives next door to Mr. Cui, how old is he, he is still a child, and the three of them fish every day and dry their nets for two days. However, he was born a cute and cheerful person, and everyone didn't blame him much, and they all thought this young man was very funny.
"Don't mention it, I can't find a job, Taishou is still going to send me money." Yue Chang'an said, "He thinks I have no money and dare not ask my family for money." ”
Cui Pingsheng: "Brother Yue, you are too guarded to be a good person, you better stay away from him." ”
Jiangzhou Taishou always stammered with Yue Chang'an, Cui Pingsheng always felt that this was not good, the villain Yuan Xianchen, if he was in a high position, and he was still in the company of such a person, something would happen sooner or later.
Yue Chang'an said: "I naturally want to stay away from him, he always thinks that if he has a good relationship with me, there will be benefits, but unfortunately I have no long things, and he can't get any benefits." ”
He smiled heartily: "Brother Cui, don't worry, I only have one or two pieces of silver left on me now." ”
Cui Pingsheng: "You...... Then you still give an extra hundred taels at every turn! ”
Yue Changan stretched out his hand and patted Cui Pingsheng's shoulder: "That's not my money, that's what Taishou gave me." ”
"Why did he give you money!" Yun Duoduo walked out of the door and exclaimed.
Yue Changan said: "How did I know that he suddenly gave me money, and he didn't say what he was going to do...... And then...... I'm going to do it. ”
"This Taishou is really unlucky." Xiao Cui swallowed her saliva and said, "Meet a scoundrel like you." ”
Taishou sent money to Yue Chang'an, because he wanted to win over Yue Chang'an so that he could be promoted, but he didn't ...... at all Take only money, don't work!
