Chapter 81: Money is tight
A good house is never sold.
Early in the morning, Wei Xiangjun returned to Xifu, waiting for the buyer to come and sign the deed.
There are many people who come to see the house, but the buyer today is the happiest, he didn't bargain much, paid a deposit of two hundred taels first, and promised to give the silver as soon as he made a deed.
Although Zheng Qiaosheng still felt that this matter could not be done. But the monarch of Weixiang has already made up his mind, and it is imperative to pay back the debts owed first.
Wei Xiangjun was standing outside Grandma Wei's house at this time, watering a pot of peonies, Bixue came out of the side room, handed over a few books in her arms to the servant, and walked behind Wei Xiangjun, "Girl, if the house is given to someone else, you will never come back." ”
"If you really want to come back and have a look, I'll talk to Hu Dongjia, that one is very easy to talk to."
Wei Xiangjun inadvertently raised his eyes, only to find that Bi Xue's eyes were red, and it seemed that he had cried in the house.
Bixue is an orphan girl accepted by Shantang, she came to Xifu when she was a child, grew up with Wei Xiangjun, and was loved by Grandma Wei, so she has long regarded this place as her home.
Finding that Wei Xiangjun was looking at her, Bi Xue quickly turned around.
Bixue is reluctant in every way, and Wei Xiangjun may not have no waves in his heart.
In her previous life, she lived in Mount Sutuo, and Wei Xiangjun often returned to this mansion in her dreams, and the most stable and happy time in the first half of her life became her only thought in the second half of her life.
But no matter how much entanglement you have in your heart, the difficulties in front of you will always have to be overcome.
Ming'er is the day when the main repair hall pays off the debt.
"What are you crying about?"
Wei Xiangjun persuaded, "It's a big deal, I will earn money wholeheartedly in the future." Maybe one day, we can buy this house back. ”
"Really?"
Bixue asked with tears in her eyes.
Wei Xiangjun snorted.
The shopkeeper came in from outside, rubbed his hands and said, "That Hu Dongjia has a slow temper and can kill people in a hurry." I went to see him at the inn in the morning, and he said he would be there in a moment. It's been a long time, and I haven't seen a shadow yet, it's really delayed! ”
"Then wait!"
The buyer is a rich man surnamed Wei, who has thousands of acres of fertile land at home, and has a lot of business in his hands, but he doesn't know how many words. People want to buy a house with good feng shui in Hengyang City, hoping that there will be a few officials among their children and grandchildren in the future.
One is willing to buy, the other is willing to sell, this matter is naturally easy to say.
It's just that Hu Dongjia means that he doesn't have so much cash on hand, and he needs to go back to raise it. Wei Xiangjun still chuckled in his heart at that time, and he was also afraid of long nights and dreams.
Fortunately, early in the morning, someone came to the main hall to report the news, and the buyer came with the silver.
"I'll go and invite it myself!"
The shopkeeper sighed a few times, "My neighbor can't do things now, so let him pick a reliable one, and he found such one." ”
This time, the Chinese are neighbors who grew up with the shopkeeper, and they get along like brothers.
In the end, he was selling the house, and he was anxiously waiting for the silver, Wei Xiangjun didn't want to make a mistake, so he naturally had to choose the most trusted person.
The shopkeeper went out, and Bixue asked again: "Girl, the queen's mother, can't you ask for it again?" As long as the Imperial Household Government returns our silver, there is no need to sell the house. ”
Wei Xiangjun shook his head, "Niangniang also has her own difficulties. ”
The palace government is on the debt, and Wei Xiangjun did ask for Queen Yue. However, as soon as he opened his mouth, he was rejected.
Later, Sun Ying'er told her that the palace was a confidant of the lord of the country, and if they dared to do this, they must have been instructed behind them. What's more, the lord of the country believed the slander because of Lord Sun's murder of his wife, and now he has a very bad impression of Wei Xiangjun. If Queen Yue opens this mouth, she may not be able to help, but she is afraid that she will bring trouble to Wei Xiangjun.
One more thing.
Now the situation in the imperial court is delicate. The State of Qi sent envoys over, claiming that they wanted to negotiate peace with Jibei, under the guise of making each one step and not intruding on each other from then on.
Of course, Wei Xiangjun knew that the people of Qi were using a strategy to delay the army. But most of the officials in the DPRK and China just want to be comfortable for a while, and they don't care if there is a conspiracy behind them.
The Yue family army has always been the main battle faction. If there is really a peace talk, they will be the first to be roasted on the fire.
At this time, Fengyi Palace can't act rashly, and the Zhengxiu Hall can only consider itself unlucky.
After all, you have to save yourself.
"The girl has come back these days, not to mention Gu Gongzi, even Yin Niangzi has not come back. Didn't you hear something and deliberately hid? ”
Watching the servants move their things out, Bixue muttered again.
Wei Xiangjun glanced at Bixue, "I'll talk about this later." ”
When he was free, Wei Xiangjun was also thinking that if Gu Shu wanted to stay in Beijing, there would be no need to talk about this marriage.
Everyone has their own aspirations, and everyone is right. Fortunately, it has not been officially proposed, and it is easy to regret it.
"Big girl, the old lady is here!"
A servant woman came in to give her a report.
In the main hall of Xifu, the old lady just stared at Wei Xiangjun, who was serving tea, but did not reach out to take it.
Among the people who followed her, someone grabbed a sentence, "I have never heard of a daughter who dared to sell her house while her father was away!" ”
The old lady seemed to come back to her senses, glanced at the mouthy Qiu, and finally took the tea.
Wei Xiangjun ignored Qiu, "Old Taijun hasn't been to Xifu for a long time. ”
Taking a sip of tea, the old lady put down the teacup, "Have you asked your father about the sale of the house?" ”
Wei Xiangjun shook his head, "I am short of money now, and I have to help Uncle Heng who is far away in Weixi every few months." What if you don't sell your house. My dad wouldn't say anything. ”
"I don't know who taught the rules of the big girl."
Qiu's family was very noisy today, "If she is allowed to do this, the family business will be ruined." ”
Wei Xiangjun looked at the Qiu family and guessed a little bit about the intention of the old lady to bring her.
There are some words, the old lady thinks about her identity, and it is not easy to scold it, so she simply found someone to open her mouth for her.
"I remember that the old lady said that the young and the old are orderly, and the grandchildren are different. The concubine of Dongfu ran to Xifu and told me the rules, which is also funny! ”
Wei Xiangjun mocked.
"Qiu, step aside!"
In the end, the old lady spoke, and it seems that she also knows that she looks ugly.
Qiu's finally stopped, and the main drama behind was naturally played by Lao Taijun.
"If you are short of money, why don't you say it to the old body?"
"Xiangjun didn't dare to disturb the old lady."
Having said that, Wei Xiangjun never thought that he would ask Dongfu for help.
It stands to reason that Wei Dongheng and Wei Dongqing are close, but when he had an accident, Dongfu hid without a trace. The back guard Dongheng was released, and people didn't even mean to give it a ride.
"Big girl, Hu Dongjia is here!"
The shopkeeper's voice came in.
Nodding to the old lady, Wei Xiangjun raised his feet and walked outside.
No matter why Lao Taijun ran this trip in person, it couldn't change Wei Xiangjun's decision.
After a few words of greeting with Hu Dongjia, Wei Xiangjun invited him into the study.
Hu Dongjia is a fat man with a wide heart, and when he sees people, he smiles, and then he arches his hand and says: "Big girl, please first!" ”
"Wait!"
Qiu followed, "The matter of pawning and selling Xifu has not been approved by our Hou Ye, even if this contract is made, and we will not do it!" ”
Everyone stood still.
The old lady was also supported by someone and moved outside, "This Xifu is the ancestral house, and it can't be easily pawned." According to the law of Jibei, even if your father wants to sell, he has to ask his relatives first, if the big guys don't want it, Xifu can only sell it to outsiders. ”
"This ......"
Hu Dongjia blinked and looked at the Zhongren.
Wei Xiangjun's brows couldn't help but tighten.
She really didn't expect that Jibei Fadu still had this article.
"This mansion will be handed over to the East Mansion! We can't help our own children. ”
The old lady became the master.
"Isn't it! If the eldest girl knows the general situation, Hou Ye will not treat her badly. ”
Qiu couldn't help but laugh.
Wei Dongqing overheard about the sale of the house in Xifu, and he got up to speed for a while, thinking that it would be better to take the Xifu down and move over with the people in his own house, so that he could live brighter.
Qiu is afraid of the death of the old lady, and there is a chance to dodge, but don't like it too much.
"That being the case, I will take my leave."
Although he was a little unhappy, Hu Dongjia still laughed.
"Hu Dongjia is slow!"
Wei Xiangjun said, "We don't have many relatives in our family, and it just so happened that the old lady was here today, so I'll ask first." ”
"Master Hou, you're here!"
Qiu raised his hand and greeted.
Wei Xiangjun raised his eyes and looked, and Wei Dongqing came from the west.
"Two thousand taels of silver, I want it now, if the Hou Ye can take it, he will make a deed immediately!"
Wei Xiangjun directly opened the price.
Qiu's was in a hurry, but when he heard Wei Xiangjun's words, his face changed, "You fart!" ”
Wei Xiangjun looked at Wei Dongqing, is this still a relative, he is simply a robber who took advantage of the fire to rob.
Hengyang is divided into inner and outer cities, and there is also an imperial city in the inner city. Those who can live in the imperial city mansion must have the shadow of the older generations.
Xifu is on the edge of the imperial city. Although the farther away from the palace the people who live there, the less expensive they are, the house has no price.
If it weren't for Wei Xiangjun waiting for silver, two thousand taels would definitely not be able to be sold.
"What a joke!"
Wei Dongqing was annoyed, "You go outside and ask, who can agree to such a high price?" ”
Qiu Shi also coaxed, "The eldest girl and the lion opened her mouth. I'm not afraid of the house smashing my hands. ”
The shopkeeper took over, "Master Hou, this Hu Dong's family has brought all the silver, a total of two thousand taels." ”
Wei Xiangjun waited for a long time.
The little family in Dongfu was almost defeated early, and they still wanted to buy a house, which was also a joke.
"I don't care how much you pay outsiders. Now it can only be sold to this marquis, two hundred taels to the sky! ”
Wei Xiangjun shook his head, "I have already asked Master Hou, but if the two can't negotiate, this house can only be given to the Hu Dong family." ”
"Wait!"
The old lady opened her mouth, "This house belongs to your father, and you have no right to dispose of it as a girl." ”
Wei Xiangjun smiled, "I think the old lady forgot that the mansion in Xifu was in my mother's name early in the morning, and now the deed is also my name." ”
"Three hundred taels, no more!"
After staring at each other for a moment, the old lady said, "I'll let your uncle bring the silver." The court law is resting here, if you insist on going your own way, then see you in the hall of the government. After all, your surname is Wei, if you sell the house to outsiders without the nod of your elders, not only will you have to suffer a lawsuit, but the person who bought your house will not be able to escape! ”
"Miss Wei, I'm sorry! It's inconvenient for you to ask for this house. ”
Jiang is still old and spicy, and Hu Dongjia was really frightened.
The shopkeeper reluctantly sent the person out, and Wei Dongqing urged: "Go back and give you the silver, and this house will be vacated today." ”
Wei Xiangjun held back his anger, "Master Hou, who said I was going to sell the house?" ”
"You!"
Qiu Shi was anxious, "You are not allowed to regret it!" ”
Wei Xiangjun looked at Wei Dongqing, "Did I promise you?" ”
Or the old lady stepped forward and pretended to be kind, "I heard that a group of people came to your Zhengxiu Hall to collect debts, and Ming'er is the last period, you should think about it carefully, if you figure it out, send someone to inform you, and your uncle will let someone send you silver." ”
"Mrs. Lao bothered!"
Wei Xiangjun chuckled, "I'm in a hurry to get the silver." I forgot to tell you that I was going to take Xifu to a pawnshop. They also negotiated with me and gave me eight hundred taels. I was too little, so I wanted to sell the house and settle it once and for all. It seems that I can't take a shortcut, even if I don't want to be a shop, I have to go there. I don't need to ask anything about this. ”
