Chapter 44: Books Are the Window to Open the World (Three Watches)
Not to mention, although the fat man is not good at cultivating spirits, he is famous for asking about it in this street and alley.
He told Lin Xiaofan that Widow Chen had been widowed for a long time, and she was a poor person with a six-year-old daughter who lived by selling a few catties of self-ground tofu every day.
Because Widow Chen is still young and handsome, many flowery men harass her all day long when she has nothing to do, and her life is really difficult to be peaceful.
Maybe everyone looked down and didn't look up, I don't know when, every morning, the second uncle actually helped Widow Chen grind tofu, and went to Widow Chen's tofu shop to sit and have a look in his spare time, so there were fewer flowery men who came to the door, but there were more rumors about the second uncle's success of Widow Chen......
Succeed? Get a P!
Lin Xiaofan wanted the second uncle to succeed, but according to the pulse just now, there was no sign of improvement in any aspect of the second uncle, if he expected it to be good, the second uncle would not even be able to "February 2nd" at all these years.
The second uncle helped Widow Chen, but it was just a kind act.
No wonder Widow Chen has a lot of affection for her second uncle, but the second uncle is like a rock and unmoved—if she doesn't want to, she can't.
Of course, if the two are in love, why should they care about the love of men and women?
However, the second uncle cares, he doesn't want to drag others down......
The second uncle was sick and had to be cured.
It's a big event, a very, very big thing, and it has to be put on the agenda, and it has to be fast......
Lin Xiaofan didn't want to deal with the sales of the Tongling Pill too much, he was mainly responsible for production, but there was one thing that had to be implemented as soon as possible, "Fatty, is there a suitable yard in the county, I want to buy a set." ”
The second uncle is the shopkeeper and an elder, how can he always let him live in the birdcage of the fat man's house?
In the past, there was no way to do it without money, but now that there is money, how can it not even solve the problem of residence?
If you don't have a fixed place to live, what is home?
If you don't have a fixed place to live, why go home?
Shuijing Village has been slaughtered, and there is an eternal pain in the heart, and it is really inappropriate to build a house and a home again - at least not now.
Therefore, Lin Xiaofan and his second uncle want to have a fixed home, and Qingtian County is the best choice.
To tell the truth, Lin Xiaofan himself doesn't care about this, he lives in a junior college, and he can even live in a primary retreat room for a long time, or even an intermediate retreat room, but second uncle, how can he be worthy of him without a fixed residence?
What's more, if he accidentally cures him in the future, and then he and Widow Chen will be that and that again, how can they not have a fixed home?
Home, there is.
Housing, buying.
Asked the fat man and asked the right question, the fat man told Lin Xiaofan that in the east not far from his pharmacy, there is a complete house for sale, the courtyard is divided into a vestibule and a backyard, there is a small garden in the middle, and even a pond, which is the residence of an old official, the old official passed away some time ago, and his son was in Kyoto, so he entrusted Gu Wanmin to sell on his behalf.
It was only because of the exquisite courtyard and complete facilities that the old official's son decided not to take away all the items in order not to see things and think about people, and he was reluctant to destroy and waste, so he decided to sell them to people who knew the goods.
What is a knowledgeable person? The person who does not bargain with him for the 800 gold coins offered is the one who knows the goods.
800 gold? Is it gilded?
The fat man thought that although the house was good, 800 gold coins was too expensive after all, and it was almost the same to give half the price.
In addition to this house, Qingtian County is not without houses for sale, but the fat man thinks that the others are either too biased or too bad or not high-grade enough, and they are not worthy of a person like Lin Xiaofan who has a net worth of 5,000 gold coins and has a wide range of financial resources.
This.....
Since the fat man was knocked on the head by Lin Xiaofan's bricks, he has become more and more able to speak.
Get! Where to look?
Just do it, Lin Xiaofan and the fat man didn't stop, and immediately went to see the house - this can't be called the second uncle, although it was mainly bought for him, but if he knew the price of 800 gold coins, could this house still be traded happily?
800 silver coins, the second uncle still needs to struggle for more than ten years, not to mention that this is 800 gold coins, that is, 80,000 silver coins?
Chop first and then play, not only Bao Gong can play, Zhu Meng can play, and he Lin Xiaofan can also play.
Of course, the premise is that this house must conform to Lin Xiaofan's mind, otherwise let alone 800 gold coins, even 800 copper coins, he won't even look at it.
......
Gu Wanmin is the parent official of a county, and he has every opportunity, so he naturally will not come forward in person for such a trivial matter as looking at the house, originally he just sent a housekeeper to take it with him, but now after knowing that this is the fat man and Lin Xiaofan, he sent her daughter, Gu Xiaoman, and I don't know what he means.
This house is located to the east of the Limin Pharmacy, but it is located to the west of the county office, which is considered to be in the middle of the two.
The original plaque has been removed, leaving only a faint trace, which seems to tell the world that the old owner has gone with the wind like the old plaque......
Lin Xiaofan is not a sentimental person, naturally he will not face a plaque to trace the sunset, he led Gu Xiaoman and the fat man, and visited the entire courtyard - this house is good.
Gu Xiaoman was entrusted by others, loyal to people, and felt that Lin Xiaofan was also a master, so he tried his best to sell it, but the fat man did not shamelessly help promote it because Gu Xiaoman was her horse, but pointed out how bad it was here, how it was not good there, etc., it was not worth so many gold coins at all.
After Gu Xiaoman rolled his eyes countless times, he saw that the fat man was still making trouble, and in a fit of rage, he stepped on the fat man's feet twice, and then took Lin Xiaofan to continue to visit and explain, leaving only the fat man grinning and gasping.
Hehe, without the croaking of the fat man, it seems to feel good, and it feels like this house is really worth it.
When Lin Xiaofan visited the last place, the study, looking at the thousands of books in the collection, and flipping through a few books, Lin Xiaofan immediately decided: buy it!
Madan, with these books, is worth it.
Although the books here are not as many as the collection of Qingtian College, they are all high-quality, even if they are history books, they also record many wonderful worlds outside, not as superficial as the collection of books in Qingtian College.
Astronomy, geography, history books, biographies, and even medical books and the art of war, etc., are simply all-encompassing.
The old official is a person who loves to read.
Although Lin Xiaofan does not like to read very much on the earth, due to the strong influence of his predecessor, he loves these books for no reason, not to mention that the second uncle is not sick, he is not good at it, and he has to study hard to find a good prescription and give the second uncle a healthy body.
Therefore, let alone 800 gold coins, even if it is three times or five times more, it is also a matter of course.
When the fat man came in, he happened to hear Lin Xiaofan say "I bought it", so he sighed and complained that Lin Xiaofan didn't listen to his own opinions, so he became a little lamb to the slaughter, which was really unwise.
Gu Xiaoman didn't bother to take care of him.
Lin Xiaofan was also speechless, and he was also too lazy to take care of this person who only knew how to eat and eat, how could he know the importance of books?
Books are the window that opens the world - fat man, do you know?
