Chapter 192: Picking up a big bargain

Steward Liu is also shrewd in his heart.

If this Zhuangzi can sell 7,000 taels, Mrs. Liu can get 1,500 taels at most, and he is now in charge of selling 3,500 taels, which will definitely satisfy Mrs.

It's just that Liu Ruolan still shook her head.

The shop has indeed made money in the past few months, but she can't spend all the money she earns!

Not to mention their own family, there are still several children studying in Fuyuan Villa, and they must have some spare money in their hands.

But to be honest, Liu Ruolan was very moved.

Three thousand five hundred taels, buying a grange of more than 500 acres, how can it be regarded as a big bargain.

Liu Ruolan struggled again and again, but still shook her head and said: "That's it, I don't have much money left in my hand now, and I really can't take out the three thousand five hundred taels." ”

Steward Liu was stunned, he had been on an errand in the house for many years, who had not seen him when he was sent to us?

Just looking at her reaction, I knew that she was moved, but since she said that she wouldn't buy it, it was estimated that the money might really not be used.

Steward Liu's heart was crossed, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Three thousand taels!" Madame, it can't be less. ”

Steward Liu thought that this was the lowest price, which can be said to be quite sincere, if they weren't in a hurry to change it to silver, who would sell it at such a low price?

And Liu Ruolan thought, don't tempt me anymore, I really want to take advantage of this, but the problem is that I don't have the money in my hand!

"Madam, three thousand taels, more than five hundred acres of high-quality fields, and it is close to the capital, not only that, but there is also a large mansion with three entrances on the Zhuangzi, which is not much smaller than the house in the inner city. Madam, the cost of that house alone is a few hundred taels of silver. ”

Liu Ruolan was even more moved when she heard it.

Xie Rongzhao on the side rolled his eyes, and said crisply: "Auntie, why don't we buy it, and I can raise chickens and ducks on Zhuangzi when I go back, and I don't have to go to Fuyuan Villa." ”

The corners of Liu Ruolan's mouth tugged: "Good baby, but the silver in A-Niang's hand is useful, and it can't be spent." ”

Xie Rongzhao bit his lip: "I have golden melon seeds, all for A-Niang." ”

Liu Ruolan was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that there was a little rich woman at home.

Previously, Zhao Yue took Xie Rongzhao to the Hou Mansion to play, and he got her a lot of things, including some gold melon seeds and silver melon seeds for rewarding people.

Of course, Xie Rongzhao was reluctant to reward people with such a good thing, so he put it away after returning home, and usually rewarded people only with copper coins.

After Zhao Yue learned about it, he also joked that she was a money box and too picky.

And the reason given by Xie Rongzhao is very reasonable and legitimate: my father is just a petty official who has just entered the court, and his monthly salary is not even ten taels of silver, as his daughter, how can I use such a valuable thing to reward my subordinates? That's too extravagant.

This reason made Zhao Yue unable to find an angle to refute, and was finally convinced.

"Good baby, those are yours, A-Niang can't use them."

"Yes, yes, we are a family, not two words."

Gu Shi on the side listened happily: "Miss is talking more and more like a little adult." ”

Liu Ruolan still has money in her hands, she makes a lot of money in the shop, and their usual spending is limited, and she and Xie Xiuwen are not such people who like luxury, so they have saved a lot of money.

In addition, there are also five hundred taels of silver tickets that the second brother asked the caravan to bring before, so it is not difficult to buy this grange.

"Well, since Hello likes it, then we'll buy it. I just don't know where that Zhuangzi is, so I have to trouble you to take us around. ”

"That's as it should be."

The group went to go through the formalities first, and then Steward Liu took Liu Ruolan and Xie Rongzhao to Zhuangzi together.

Because the money has been paid off, this house on Zhuangzi is actually a real surprise, and Steward Liu has to deal with the shop in a hurry, and after sending it to them, he hurried back.

Yaren didn't rush to leave, although this deal was personally negotiated by Steward Liu, but his benefits were not less.

"Madam, look at how well the crops in this field grow, don't talk about these tenant farmers, there is no manager in the village, in previous years, the Liu Mansion sent people to collect the rent, twice a year. The people here are honest and responsible, and they will definitely not cause you trouble in the future. ”

It is said to be Zhuangzi, but it is actually a large field in the village, and there is a big house with three entrances in the village.

There is such a house in the countryside, which is still very conspicuous.

As soon as they came, the village chief came to inquire, and after learning that it was the new owner of the mansion, he naturally hurriedly asked for peace.

After some explanation, the village chief also understood that the master who took over the more than 500 acres of land was still the master of the official family, and he was relieved.

The official master is generally more decent than the ordinary squire, and in the final analysis, he also wants to be famous.

I have to say that this three-entry mansion in the countryside is better than the one in the inner city, perhaps because it was built in the countryside, so this occupies a larger area, not subject to any constraints, and there is an idle vacant land next to it.

The house in the countryside is not as new as the house in the inner city, and after all, it is the countryside, there are only two slaves left here to take care of the house, the front yard is okay, but the backyard is obviously a little barren, and the weeds have grown to maturity. The man's knee is up.

Liu Ruolan just took a turn, and didn't think about any more arrangements, let's talk about it when she is free in the future.

But she didn't instruct, the two slaves of the house were still very discerning, honestly kowtowed to recognize the master, and then explained their life history again, just waiting for the new master to speak.

Both of them were slaves who signed a death contract, and now they have both been given to Liu Ruolan.

"Madame, rest assured, the little one will definitely clean the house inside and outside in the past two days. In the past, a few male masters came, and the little ones were all men, and it was not easy to enter the inner courtyard, so they were always deserted. ”

Liu Ruolan responded lightly, and did not knock on them, only said that she would come back in two days.

In the evening, when Xie Xiuwen came back, he saw his wife and daughter waiting for him with a smile, knowing that something good must have happened.

"Husband, we picked up a big bargain today!"

Xie Rongzhao also stepped forward: "Daddy, we are really lucky today!" ”

After Xie Xiuwen listened to the whole story, he really felt a little incredible.

Such a rare thing was really encountered by his wife and daughter, and he didn't believe it if it wasn't pie in the sky.

"Liu Shilang, I know, it seems that I have heard that there is a family breakup recently. I didn't expect that Miss Liu San had so much property in her hands, and now she has exchanged it for cash, which is cheaper for us. It's also interesting, I don't know how much discord this Mrs. Liu has with the concubines in her family, and she would rather cheapen outsiders than let them get naked. (End of chapter)
