Chapter 34 is more real than pearls
Seeing that Liang Nuying couldn't wait to pull him out, Liu Zhi suddenly became anxious and hurriedly glanced at Tang Heng.
Tang Heng smiled slightly, "Girl, it's no better to go to the city, I'm afraid you have to change into ordinary clothes, otherwise it won't be so fun." β
Sure enough, these words hit Liang Nuying's mind, "Okay, I'll go to change clothes right away, I'll be here soon, Brother Zhi is waiting for me." β
Girls, especially girls who love beauty, as long as they change their clothes, they don't get up quickly, and Liu Zhi has a lot of time to persuade the Queen Mother.
Without further ado, Liu Zhi cheekily spoke.
"Queen Mother, that's the case, I said on a whim a few days ago that I wanted to buy a shop on Chengguo South Street, but I didn't think that others had already negotiated the price for me, you see......"
He looked at her with a look of embarrassment on his face.
"Oh? What are you going to open? β
The Queen Mother looked normal, and she couldn't tell what she was thinking.
"I want to open a second-hand book shop, sell and rent it, put some stools in the shop, rent it to see how much money is charged a day, and let those poor students who can't afford to buy books have books to read."
The Queen Mother has never let go of the scroll all her life, is knowledgeable, and respects scholars very much, and nodded approvingly when she heard the words, showing a hint of a smile.
"It's good that you have this idea, being able to sympathize with poor students is indeed the attitude that a gentleman should have."
Then he asked, "How much does the shop cost?" β
Liu Zhi paused, and said stubbornly: "200,000 yuan." Afraid that the Queen Mother would be too expensive, he hurriedly added, "It is three rooms and two floors, and there is a big courtyard at the back." β
"It's really not expensive."
Empress Dowager Liang nodded, turned her head and instructed Zhou Fu, "You go and take 200,000 money from my private treasury and give it to Your Majesty." β
Liu Zhi didn't expect the Queen Mother to be so happy, you must know that she advocates diligence and thrift very much on weekdays, and all the expenses in the palace are relatively strict, and the state expenditure is also repeatedly calculated, cautious and cautious.
After being rejoiced, he suddenly understood that the Queen Mother had used her own private money to buy him a house just now, and did not use the money in the treasury.
It seems that he will have to think carefully about spending money in the future, and he can't always let the Queen Mother subsidize him out of his own pocket.
At the same time, I was also a little moved in my heart, the Queen Mother really treated him as her junior, and she had no second thoughts.
200,000 yuan is not a small amount, it adds up to almost more than 1,000 catties, Liu Zhi brought several guards to pick it up, but he sighed in his heart, it was inconvenient to pay in ancient times, and he had to ask for labor to pay for it.
What? Why not deliver something like gold cake or horseshoe gold, you ask?
You must know that the gold reserves in the late Eastern Han Dynasty were not large, and most of them were hidden in the private treasury of various nobles and powerful, and rarely circulated in the market.
For convenience, the nobles only used some scattered gold ingots, and more often, the so-called amount of gold was actually just a weight, for the convenience of counting.
A pound of gold in the Eastern Han Dynasty is equal to 10,000 yuan, which sounds like the purchasing power of gold is not very good, but in fact, it has no price, and most people use it as a reserve resource.
And because the catties at that time were also very different from modern times, a catty was actually only 224 grams, not even half a catty.
When they were ready for 200,000 yuan, Liang Nuying was late, saying that she was wearing ordinary clothes, but in fact, it was only a little worse than her clothes worth thousands of gold.
She usually likes to wear bright red, but Liu Zhi feels that her skin is not very white and is not suitable.
Today, he is wearing a delicate apricot yellow shirt, and the wide edge of the snow blue is embroidered with gold thread and flowers, but it looks delicate and moving, and I feel that my appearance has improved a few points.
Liu Zhi only felt that his eyes lit up, and he sincerely admired: "You are very beautiful in this color." β
Liang Nuying was praised by her sweetheart, and immediately smiled, "Really? β
"Of course it's true, it's more true than pearls." Liu Zhishun slipped a sentence.
"Giggle......
Liang Nuying let out a silver bell-like laugh, her face was flushed, and she added two bright colors, and when Empress Dowager Liang saw it, she couldn't help but feel relieved.
The girl who was raised by herself finally found a satisfactory Langjun, and she can rest assured.
The group rushed to Chengguo South Street, Fan Chao, Dong Ban and others had been waiting for a long time, and Liu Zhi hurriedly apologized.
"Brother Fan, I'm sorry, there is a delay in some things at home, and when the settlement is completed, I will invite everyone to the wine house for a good drink."
Originally, Fan Chao was still a little resentful, but when he said this with a smile on his face, he couldn't get angry.
"It's okay, the owner is also here, so let's bookmark the deed first."
Liu Zhi agreed again and again, and several people entered the house, and sure enough, Qin Jian, a middle-aged man, was waiting with a pot-bellied old man.
The two sides met the courtesy and exchanged a few words of greeting, Qin Jian took out a few contracts and asked both parties to take a look.
This matter was handled by Fan Chao, and the details had already been clarified for him, Liu Zhi took a cursory look, and there was nothing wrong with it.
The old man's name was Yuan Wei, and after reading it, he also said that he had no opinion, so the two of them used the seal separately, and then pressed the hand print.
This seal is engraved by Liu Yi, and he specially asked people to engrave the private seal, just to make it easier to walk outside.
As for the handprint, it was called "handwriting" in this era, and it was already a commonly used contractual method.
Qin Jian, as a Chinese, also used the seal, this contract is in triplicate, and it also needs to be taken to the yamen to record and pay taxes, and after the matter is over, the two of them each hold a copy.
Immediately after the payment was completed in person, the house was already Liu Zhi's.
As for the affairs in the yamen, he just sent Zhang Rang to run with Fan Chao, and there was no need to go in person.
"Brother Dong, Brother Lu, you two can move here today, bedding and luggage and other things, I will arrange for Zhang Rang to buy them for you, if you need anything, you can also go directly to him."
Dong Ban promised again and again that he was in a good mood these days, and after Du Qiao, who had a close relationship with his teacher, was promoted to lieutenant, he still came and went frequently.
This also made many people smell the unusual smell, and gradually people began to visit Li Gu.
Sure enough, he was right to stay in Kyoto, even if he couldn't help much, at least he could witness his old man's comeback.
"You don't have to worry about the source of the old books, I will send someone to deliver them in two days, you can help me sort it out, and I can open for business."
This shopkeeper is also too worry-free, Dong Ban himself is a little embarrassed, but he only keeps this friendship in his heart and does not talk about it.
After buying the shop, Liu Zhi's task today is half completed, and half of it is promised to accompany Liang Nuying to go shopping.
Fan Chao and the others saw that he had brought a delicate and wealthy girl, and they all hurriedly said goodbye.
"Let's talk about the treat next time we meet, I can't run away anyway."
Liu Zhi said goodbye to them, and Liang Nuying over there was already impatiently waiting.
"What's there to talk about with these vulgar pariahs, take me for a walk, I think it's fun here."
Although Liu Zhi was a little unaccustomed to her statement, he did not refute it.
After all, Liang Nuying was born into a big family, and the hierarchical concept of this era is very strict, so there is really no need to force her to change her concept.
