Chapter 264: Picky is the Buyer!
Actually, Liu Ruolan is still tempted by this, of course, it is impossible for her to really spend a lot of money to repair it.
At least not yet.
Good baby is only twelve, and it's still early to get married.
If you buy this house, you can rent it out first, and then take it back before the good baby gets married.
Liu Ruolan has observed along the way, the environment here is good, and for the outer city, this location is still relatively good, close to the inner city, and also facing the street, which is very convenient.
If such a house is rented out, it can earn three hundred taels of silver a year.
There are many officials in this capital, but there are very few who really have their own homes.
First, the house in the capital is too expensive to afford.
Second, some people think that buying a house is not cost-effective, and it is better to rent it, because they are not sure to stay in the capital for a few years, and there is no need to buy and sell it, but they will lose money.
Not all the officials in the capital were transferred in accordance with the charter.
For example, when Schelling was sent abroad, he was temporarily transferred.
It is also because Xie Lin is a person from the capital, so it is not inconvenient to come, if he changes to a foreigner as an official in the capital, it will be very different.
First of all, if you are temporarily assigned to the house, the house will not have an advantage in price, because you are in a hurry to sell, and the tooth store or the buyer will press your price.
In this way, often a house bought for 1,000 taels of silver can only be sold for 6 or 700 taels.
For example, Wang Jin.
The house he bought in the outer city back then, and later because of the assignment, the house was disposed of, and he lost more than 400 taels.
So what to do?
Wang Jin thought that he was an official, and he could no longer always reach out to his family to ask for money, so he thought about turning this house into money, and he would have a good deal after he took office.
But now that I have returned to Beijing and bought a house, the price is too high.
Because it is difficult to find a house in the capital, not to mention that the officials' requirements for the house are still high, to put it bluntly, it is necessary to save face, and it is impossible to live in only three rooms.
Wang Jin lost a few hundred taels by selling the house before, and now he bought a house again, and he was blackmailed for a few hundred taels.
No way, this is the market!
Liu Ruolan took people to look at this place inside and out, and she had a number in her heart.
"Tell me, how much silver do you have to sell?"
The tooth man didn't dare to slack off, knowing that this was a powerful lady and couldn't be provoked.
"It's rare that Mrs. likes it, and we will give you a good price, this house is less than 1,600 taels, and you can't buy it."
Liu Ruolan frowned: "The house in the outer city can be so expensive?" ”
"Madam, although it is the outer city, it is close to the inner city, you also watched it when you came, you only need to go out and turn a corner, you can pass through the inner city gate, this is no different from the house in the inner city, just take one more door!"
The tooth man can speak well, and after a while, he will praise this house to the sky.
Liu Ruolan hesitated, but her eyes glanced at Xie Rongzhao without anyone paying attention.
"You're saying that, but I don't think there's anything wrong with it. Look at the pillars over there, the paint is gone. And the low wall over there, which has collapsed for a while, how can this be lived? ”
The tooth man has been doing this business for a long time, so he can naturally hear the other party's pickiness.
But he is not in a hurry, the more picky he is, the more he is a buyer!
In this way, after several bargains, this three-entry mansion was sold for 1,500 taels.
That's not a lot of money.
After all, this house is also big, more than twice the size of the house they lived in when they first arrived in the capital.
Liu Ruolan directly asked people to write the deed in Xie Rongzhao's name, there is no doubt that this is her dowry in the future.
"Let's go back and let someone come over to take care of it a little, do you want to come and live here?"
Xie Rongzhao shook his head and looked at her inexplicably: "Why did A-Niang think so?" I have my own home, so why should I come here? ”
Liu Ruolan burst out laughing.
Originally, she was deliberately teasing her, but I didn't expect her to be serious.
"Good baby, if San Lang comes to Beijing in the future, let him live here first. As you get older, you have to avoid it before you get married. ”
Xie Rongzhao only felt that his head was full of black lines, where is this!
She's only twelve!
Brother Jingzhou is not in the capital either!
In fact, Xie Rongzhao wanted to persuade her that there was no need to buy a dowry so early.
This house is different from the paved field, the income is the least, but the investment is not small.
"A-Niang, we haven't spent a lot of money in the past few years, right? You better save a little, the eldest brother still has to get married. ”
Liu Ruolan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Don't be afraid, A-Niang still has money in her hand." ”
Last year, Xie Ronghui and Chen Jiaojiao's marriage was decided, and soon after the news was transmitted back to Gaoyang County, the old lady sent someone to send a silver ticket of 500 taels, saying that it was for Xie Ronghui to make a wedding gift.
Liu Ruolan didn't want to accept it, and she didn't lack silver, but she thought that Xie Ronghui was originally the eldest grandson of the long house, and he was valued by the old lady since he was a child.
Xie Xiuwen had no objection to this, only said that no matter how many taels of silver sent by his hometown in the future, he would accept it, just to keep an account and give an explanation to the children in the future.
Xie Ronghui is the eldest grandson, but not Xie Xiuwen's parent.
When he first passed the pass, he said that Xie Ronghui would not divide the family property in the second room in the future, and he did not explain the matter of marrying a wife.
At that time, it was also simple, who would have thought that Xie Xiuwen could have today?
If it is in Gaoyang County, even if it is the county seat, five hundred taels of silver is definitely the most beautiful marriage in the county.
But this is the capital, and she is still married to the daughter of the Chen family, which is not enough.
"A-Niang, will the eldest brother get married this year?"
"Well, I guess so, your father is hesitating about this. Your eldest brother wants to give it a try this year, but your father says that he is not sure that he is too sure, and the probability of winning is too low, so it is better not to get up to hope. ”
Xie Rongzhao also knew that his eldest brother had some difficulties in his studies, but unfortunately she couldn't help much.
"A-Niang, if the eldest brother falls off the list, will someone in the Chen family make irresponsible remarks?"
Liu Ruolan touched her head: "Silly girl, who can stop this kind of thing?" Even if your eldest brother fails this time, he can be regarded as accumulating experience for the next township exam, and with so many students, how can he pass the exam in one go? It's your father, didn't you get into the exam a few times? ”
"That's different, my dad was killed, otherwise, Daddy would definitely be the world's famous champion!"
Liu Ruolan cried and laughed: "Yes, yes, your father is the best in the world!" ”
Xie Rongzhao pouted: "Originally! ”
"Let's go, let's go and see what jewelry there is, Mrs. Chen's birthday is coming, we must go, this birthday gift can't be prepared too badly."
