Chapter 263: Look at the house
Xie Xiuwen looked at the letter, first frowned, and then breathed a sigh of relief, obviously much more relaxed.
Their former sister-in-law, Gao, was still a thief, intending to confuse Xie Xiuran's daughters to make trouble together, in the final analysis, she just wanted benefits.
Now the Xie family can be said to be extremely noble in Gaoyang County, who dares to touch the Xie family's mold?
But Gao's was suspended, and he couldn't get any light, so he was naturally unwilling.
Since Xie Ronglan came to the capital secretly once last time, Xie Xiuwen has been completely ruthless.
For his own brother, he can't do anything too out of the ordinary, but for a former sister-in-law who has been abandoned, then he still has no scruples.
In this way, the Gao family was found by the people of Xiejiazhuang, and then directly sent to the nunnery on the mountain to become a monk.
Gao didn't want to go, and he couldn't do it.
She didn't dare to go back to her parents' house, it's not that she hasn't been back in the past few years, but none of them have a good end.
The Gao clan hated her, who didn't think she had ruined the Gao clan's reputation?
And although the people in Xie Jiazhuang are not too bad to her, they can't expect too good.
Especially after Xie Xiuwen's official position became higher and higher, the situation of the Gao family became more and more difficult.
Even so, it is better to go to the nunnery to chant Buddha and chant sutras, and maybe in exchange for some sympathy from the Xie family.
The Gao family is the only chess piece that can hinder Xie Ronghui's future future, and now that she has been solved here, Xie Xiuwen's heart can also be more steady.
On the day before the Chinese New Year's Day, Xie Rongzhao had quilts and winter clothes delivered to some refugees.
There are now almost no displaced people outside the city.
Some were repatriated to their hometowns, basically not too far from the capital, some were bought by other rich and noble families as slaves, and some were hired by people like Xie Xiuwen's family to work.
The Xie family has taken in a total of more than 60 people, including young and middle-aged people, women and children.
Xie Xiuwen's previous house was considered to come in handy, but it was a little crowded.
On the third day of the first lunar month, Xie Ronghui took the lead and took several younger brothers and sisters to Zhuangzi outside the city.
This is the task that Xie Xiuwen arranged for him, let him go down to check the resettlement of those disaster victims, and at the same time, let him think about how to deal with similar things if he encounters similar things in the future.
Not only do you have to think about it, but when you come back tomorrow, you have to hand in another piece of experience.
This is the homework of all their young men, that is to say, this time to Zhuangzi, only Xie Rongzhao is really easy.
After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Xie family was quiet again.
The young men were all sent to the White Crane Academy, and Xie Xiuwen had already begun to go to the office, and everything seemed to have returned to the same days as before.
Now Xie Rongzhao already has two shops under his name, both of which are very large, but both of them are rented to merchants.
Shops in the inner city are not available to everyone.
Let's not talk about the price, just say that there is no way, and you can't get it.
Now Liu Ruolan seems to have figured out some of the rules here, once there is a Beijing official to the official, or to be dismissed, etc., then there will not be a lot of industries in the capital that will be hung out.
Liu Ruolan is no longer thinking about opening a shop to make money, her man is a court official, she has to avoid suspicion, and the small business is forgotten, if it is too big, it is still easy to be pigtailed.
In these years, the reputation of scholars is particularly important, and it is not good to let Xie Xiuwen get a reputation of 'competing with the people'.
Liu Ruolan is now thinking that she can buy a house and a shop, and when the time comes, she will rent it out just waiting to collect the rent.
And the shops here in the inner city are not quite the same as other places, they are not paid monthly or quarterly, but directly for a year in advance.
It's really refreshing!
Liu Ruolan thought that now Xie Xiuwen's official position is not low, and Cheng Jingzhou will definitely be an official in the future, so it is better to buy a house first, and choose one close to home, and in the future, when his daughter marries him, he can often come back to see it.
Thinking about it this way, Liu Ruolan was a little sad.
She is okay, but Xie Xiuwen can't listen to her daughter's marriage and dowry at all, so it can be seen that she is reluctant.
But there is no way, as the days pass, my daughter has gradually grown up, and now she is twelve.
Most of the girls, twelve have already begun to say goodbye, and some girls are married at thirteen.
Of course, there are very few women who marry at this age in the official eunuch family, and they will wait until their daughters are sixteen or seventeen years old before marrying.
At this time, the girl can also be more mature mentally, and the housekeeper and housekeeper are also handy, this is the real good wife.
"Auntie, it's useless for us to buy a house, if you want me to say, let's take it a long time."
"You know what? This inner city house, you can buy it if you want to? It's rare to meet someone who is willing to sell the house, how can such a good thing happen every day? ”
Liu Ruolan's money in her hands now is not too handy, and she can't afford a too good house, but an ordinary second-entry house is definitely no problem.
This problem comes, there are not many second-entry mansions in the inner city, and some mansions belong to the imperial court and are not allowed to be bought and sold privately.
Liu Ruolan took Xie Rongzhao to see a mansion in the outer city this time.
When the two arrived at the place, they got out of the car and took a look, but they thought it was not bad.
The road is quite wide, and this house faces the street, next to it is a small alley, and there are about three or four families in it.
"Madam, Miss, you two are here, please come inside, the little one specially asked people to come and clean it yesterday, you go in and take a look, if you like, then we can sign the deed and pass the title deed today."
Liu Ruolan is now moody, with a face, and the tooth man is not sure whether Mrs. is in love or not.
Xie Rongzhao knew that he was accompanying him to be the mascot, so he bowed his head and followed him very interestingly all the way, and he didn't say much.
"This house is a little smaller, and why is this main courtyard only so big? It really doesn't look like a main courtyard. ”
Tooth people are bitter, ma'am, of course you will feel small, and you will not look at what kind of place you live!
Although they are both three-in-house, but these big three-ins and small three-in, they are almost doubled, can they be compared?
"What Madame said is that this yard is indeed smaller, but this small has small benefits, you see, this yard is still exquisitely placed, right? The owner of this front also put a lot of thought into it. And the three-entry house is only a little more than a thousand taels in total, which is cheap. ”
Liu Ruolan nodded and said, "It's not expensive, but I see that some places here are too old, and I have to ask someone to repair them again, which is also a bit troublesome." ”
The tooth man immediately sold it and said: "Madame, don't worry, if you buy it, you don't like it, and the small one will help you run errands." ”
This tooth man can also speak, only talking about running errands, but he doesn't say that he wants to give this mending errand to the next.
There's a fundamental difference!
One earns money, the other spends money!
