Chapter 575: Buying a House
An eleven or twelve-year-old child from the neighbor's house across the wall from Bi Jing's house was lying on the wall watching Chen Letian and Li Xuan'er leave. After the two left, the child said to Bi Jing, who was standing in the courtyard: "Old man Bi, what are those two doing?"
Bi Jingdao: "That sister is my apprentice, and that brother is that sister's husband." ”
The child said, "Can you still be someone's master? What can you teach others?"
Bi Jing grinned, jumped on the spot a few times, got rid of an old naughty boy, and said, "My name is a three-legged cat? I am a martial arts master, do you know what it means?"
The child sneered and said, "Don't bluff people, okay, if you are the Grand Master, why was you beaten up by the thief who entered the house to steal things a few days ago? If you are the Grand Master, why don't our neighbors know about it? I think my father is right, you are a farmer." ”
"Holy shit!" Bi Jing suddenly bent down to make a stone pick, the child jumped off the courtyard wall with a snort, and no one could see but heard the voice: "Old man Bi, old peasant, I don't know how ugly I bragged..."
Bi Jing clapped his hands and smiled, turned around and walked into the house.
Chen Letian and Li Xuan'er walked around this small alley for a while, and finally Chen Letian stopped at the door of a house with moss-covered knockers.
Li Xuan'er felt a little strange: "What does Brother Lotte do? Do you know this family?"
Chen Letian shook his head, looked at the door of Mr. Bi's house, which was only twenty or thirty steps away from here, and said, "This house seems to have been uninhabited for a long time, I don't know if it will be sold or not?" I want to buy a house for you to live in this neighborhood." You're going to have to live here for a year or two. I feel more at ease if I live closer to Master. ”
Li Xuan'er was very surprised: "It's okay to rent one, it's too expensive to buy, it looks like the houses here are very big, and they are definitely not cheap." ”
Chen Letian said: "What you want is not cheap, expensive is valuable, there is no house in Chengdu, what kind of rich person is it, after all, my brother is now a rich businessman, and I can't be too shabby." ”
Li Xuan'er didn't say anything more. In her original plan, she would find a house that was not too big to live in, or live in Master's house, and usually wash and cook for Master. When she was leaving, her father asked her to be diligent at the master's place, and at home her father and uncle rarely asked her to do things, and now that she is out, this is how she wants to study, and it will be very bitter.
Li Xuan'er said at the time that it doesn't matter, I will do everything.
Dad persuaded him many times but it was useless, so he stopped persuading, but Li Jin found Chen Letian privately and told Chen Letian about the situation. Chen Letian was afraid to pat his chest and say, Father-in-law, don't worry, even if you don't say it, it is impossible for me to let Xuan'er do the things that the next person does. I'll arrange it, don't worry. How can my wife Chen Letian be an ordinary person, no matter how powerful his master is, can he still be better than Master An Liu? I will arrange Xuan'er properly at that time, live in a big mansion, and have hundreds of servants and servants.
Then Li Jin was relieved. said again and again that a good son-in-law, a good son-in-law, our father and daughter will rely on you in the future.
"Don't mention money to me, didn't I just get so much silver from Cao Xianling, it must be enough to buy this house, it depends on whether the owner of the house sells it or not. Chen Letian and Li Xuan'er looked at the door of the house for a while, and as they were talking, the door of the house next to them suddenly opened, and a person who looked like a housekeeper poked his head out and asked Chen Letian who they were looking for.
Chen Letian arched his hand and said, we look at this house as if no one has lived in it for a long time, and we want to buy it, but we don't know where the owner is, and there is no way to buy it.
The housekeeper said that the owner is very familiar with my family, and this house has indeed wanted to sell for several years, but because of the price, I have not found a suitable buyer. Do you really want to buy it?
Chen Letian said that it looks good from the outside, but it would be better if he could go in and have a look. Silver is not a problem, we are not short of money.
The housekeeper looked at Chen Letian and Li Xuan'er, they were all specially bought from the largest Shu brocade store in Chengdu today, and the clothes on each of them were fifty taels. So the housekeeper also believed what Chen Letian said.
After the housekeeper went back to inform the head of the house, he came out with the key and opened the door for Chen Letian to let them go in to see.
Except for a little bit of weeds and a lot of dust, everything else is good. The house is very large, the main house and the side rooms are large. It's no problem to live in a wing room for hundreds of people. There are mountains and rivers in the yard, and Chen Letian is very satisfied with this place, so he asks the housekeeper how much silver.
The butler held out three fingers and said at least that's the number.
Chen Letian smiled and said Is the owner in Chengdu? Chen Lotian then asked the housekeeper to ask the owner to come and talk tomorrow.
The unquestionable tone and bearing made the middle-aged housekeeper unconsciously agree.
Then Chen Letian and Li Xuan'er left. The housekeeper came back to his senses after a while, scratched his head and thought, who is this person, like a big man.
The next day, Chen Letian didn't let Li Xuan'er follow, but came alone.
The owner of the house is a man with a face full of vicissitudes, with the shrewdness of a businessman flashing on his face, as well as the vicissitudes of time.
Although it seemed that he had been beaten by the world, the man was quite imposing, and he didn't introduce himself to his face, and said, "Are you going to buy my house?"
Chen Letian nodded.
The man said: "30,000 taels, the transaction will be completed today, and I will bring all the deeds and title deeds." ”
Chen Letian laughed, patted the man on the shoulder and said, "Big brother, don't worry, there is no such way to do business, this deal is not small, how can it be done in a few words, don't you say?"
The man looked at Chen Letian's hand on his shoulder, and said, "Yesterday, the neighbor's family told me about this, and I asked him if you were sure that you wanted it, and he said that people wanted it very much, and said that silver is not a problem, so I only came today." You're not going to make fun of me, are you?"
Chen Letian thought to himself, you look at you looking anxious to use the money, I wasn't going to bargain, but if you don't hide it so much, I really can't help but kill you, this is called taking advantage of your illness to kill you, no, I don't want your life, I should call you to kill you while you're in a hurry, haha. But he frowned and said: "Big brother, don't worry, you don't look like I'm playing with you, I really want to buy your house, otherwise I wouldn't have lingered at your door for a long time yesterday, if I hadn't stayed at the door for a long time, the housekeeper next door wouldn't have found me." But you also know that 30,000 taels of silver is not a small amount, besides, there are still many details to discuss, don't worry, I'll find a place to sit down and have a good chat. ”
With that, Chen Letian pulled him to a mid-range restaurant at the entrance of the alley. The sumptuous wine and food were served on the table, and Chen Letian poured him wine: "Brother, I respect you." ”
