Chapter 133: Buying Steward Lin's House
Steward Lin walked a few steps to Ji Nuan's side and knelt on the ground with a "poof", startling Ji Nuan and the rest of the Ji family, Ji Nuan hurriedly turned sideways to avoid it, and worked with Nangong Qing to pull Steward Lin up: "If you have something to say, let's stand and say okay, you are an elder, I will lose my life if I do this." ”
"Thank you Nuan Nuan little girl for saying good things for me in front of the young master of Nangong, I will soon go to the capital to work as an errand boy, or be a housekeeper, although I have changed from being in charge of a house to being in charge of a courtyard. I'm also very satisfied. ”
Ji Nuan was really happy for Steward Lin: "You have also helped me a lot, don't be polite, Steward Lin has entered Beijing, and it is a practice to let my father invite you to a meal." ”
"Tomorrow, I will prepare a few tables of banquets in Chunfeng Building, please have a meal, your whole family will go, you must enjoy it!"
Ji Nuan readily agreed, and Steward Lin remembered another purpose of this trip: "Nuan Nuan little girl, I heard the driver of the Lin family who picked up vegetables say that you want to buy a house in the county, right?" As long as the area is large enough, does it matter if it is remote? ”
Could it be that Steward Lin has a suitable house in his hands? Ji Nuan made a deferential look, and his big eyes stared at him and waited for the following.
"If your conditions only need these two points, I have a suitable house in my hand, this house is south of the county seat, and there are a total of ten main houses and side rooms in the courtyard, which is enough for your family to live. The yard is also very spacious, and it is definitely not a problem to build two workshops, and there is a vacant land in the backyard that can be three acres in size, if you think the right house is sent to your home, let's go to the county government to sign a transfer agreement. ”
"Listening to what Steward Lin said, I really think this place is quite suitable, and there is no need to give it to me, you say a price, and I will buy it if it is suitable."
Steward Lin and Ji Nuan both wanted to persuade each other to accept their suggestions, two quarters of an hour passed, and no one could convince anyone, Ji Nuan raised his throat and said: "Otherwise, how much money did you buy your house, how much money has you added to it over the years, and how much silver you have added up, can I pay as much as I want?" ”
Steward Lin insisted that he didn't add much money and spent one hundred and twenty taels at the beginning, Ji Nuan just gave this number, Ji Nuan went back to the house and took out two silver tickets of one hundred taels and handed them over, Steward Lin took out fifty taels of silver tickets from his arms: "I really don't need so much silver, that house is a big place, the location is a bit biased, I am in a hurry to leave If it weren't for Nuan Nuan girl, I would have to ask someone else to buy it on my behalf, and I had to give the other party a sum of silver, one of us wants to sell, and the other is willing to buy it."
After dinner at Chunfeng Building at noon tomorrow, I will show you the house, let's sign the agreement as soon as possible, I have to go to the capital quickly! ”
Sending Steward Lin away, Ji Baojin asked his granddaughter why she was buying a house, just to enter the county seat to be a young lady, Ji Nuan didn't want to quarrel with him, so she pulled her mother to find clothes to go to the county seat tomorrow, and at dinner, Ji Ruinian told her daughter that her grandfather would also follow her to the county seat tomorrow.
"Let's talk about it first, outsiders in the county town will say that I bought the house when they ask, except for our family, only entertain the guests I invited, and people who don't like me everywhere are not welcome to live."
"I'll accompany your grandfather to live in Crescent Gully!"
"The house here can't be donated to others, I still have to build a blue brick house and listen to the third aunt learn to bark!"
This kid ......
The next morning, after being busy for a while, after paying for the dishes, the Ji family cleaned up and drove a carriage and an ox cart to the county seat, because the grandfather was sitting in the carriage, and there was no need for others to tell him, Ji Nuan climbed into the ox cart and leaned on his mother to talk to the eldest brother: "If the yard in the county town is big, let's buy another carriage, if there are people living there, I won't come back tonight!" "I have to be trained when I come back, and I have to be careful when I eat at my own house, and I have enough of Ji Nuan on such days.
Gu Shuzhen hugged her daughter in her arms distressedly: "Okay, let your eldest brother stay over there to accompany you, you two get that oil mill, don't worry about it slowly!" ”
"Mother, big brother, thank you for supporting me." If the whole family is like grandpa, you really have to consider running away from home.
"The money in the family is earned by you, everything you do is for everyone, for our family, Nuan Nuan has some words and some things that don't have to be taken to heart, the family will always be on your side, you will always be your father's baby girl, our favorite sister." Ji Lianfu comforted his sister.
Ji Nuan held the second brother's arm and shook it for a long time, rubbing it around on him, Gu Shuzhen pulled the two of them apart: "Nuan Nuan, you will be seven years old in a few months, you can't be too casual." ”
"Isn't there still a few months left, and it's normal for me to be spoiled with my own brother, I'm also letting a few brothers get used to it in advance, don't meet a coquettish girl in the future and don't know how to deal with it."
When he met such a naughty sister, Ji Lianqiu didn't know what else to say except for a wry smile, Ji Lianfu straightened his sister and asked her to sit down: "Do you want to know what I will do when I meet a coquettish girl?"
Ji Nuan nodded, Ji Lianfu pushed his sister into his mother's arms, Ji Nuan got up and fought back: "If you meet a little girl who is as good-looking as me and can be spoiled, are you willing to push it away?" ”
"If that person were like you now, I'd throw her on the side of the road, and if she dared to cry, I'd knock her out." Ji Lianfu teased his sister.
Gu Shuzhen scolded her son too much, Ji Nuan didn't believe it, the brothers and sisters laughed all the way, after entering the county seat, Ji Nuan cleaned up, and didn't forget to help his mother and two brothers sort out their clothes, when they arrived in the county seat, Ji Ruinian and Ji Baojin had already entered the Chunfeng Building.
Shopkeeper Mao personally received Ji Ruinian and called him "Shopkeeper Ji", Ji Baojin, as the shopkeeper's father, has a straight waist, and even thinks that it is good to stay at the eldest son's house all the time, and he doesn't have to work if he eats well, the only thing that makes him dissatisfied is the attitude of his son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren towards his granddaughter.
A girl doesn't do any work at home, she is in charge of the family's money, and she dares to make her own decisions without asking the opinions of her elders for such a big thing as buying a house. Ji Baojin has lived a long time and has never seen such a spoiled child, if this is a boy, it can barely be said, he really can't accept it if he likes a girl like this.
What can a six-year-old child understand, he didn't even look at the house and gave the other party some silver, and he didn't count it at a glance, and he had to follow him over this afternoon to see, if the house was worth one hundred and fifty taels of silver, he wouldn't say anything, if it wasn't worth the money, this time even the eldest and his family would teach him a lesson.
"Didn't the little girl come?" Shopkeeper Mao asked Ji Ruinian.
"Coming, in the back, there are many of our families, a carriage can't sit, and her eldest brother drives the ox cart more slowly."
When Ji Nuan and them arrived at Chunfeng Building, Steward Lin, his daughter-in-law, and his eldest son were entertaining guests, and when they heard that Ji Nuan had arrived, Steward Lin's daughter-in-law personally greeted her at the door.
