Chapter 140: Cleaning Up and Cleaning Up the Second Watch
The procedure for buying a house was very simple, Xu Huaiyi first gave Hu Yingjie five taels of silver as a deposit, and then took his daughter-in-law and children to live in happily.
As for the rest, I'll do it tomorrow.
Originally, I heard Xu Huaiyi say that this mansion was built by a rich man, Gu Huanxi thought that it would be built rich and gorgeous, but who knew that looking at the gate and the bamboo on both sides of the door, she was suddenly unsure, and waited for the lock to be opened, and then continued to walk inside, and the picture she saw completely broke her original guess.
There is no wealth and luxury, but the elegance of a scholar everywhere.
This is a pleasant surprise.
A total of three into the yard, the first into is nothing special, only a few brick carving patterns on the wall show a bit of delicacy and exquisiteness, in addition to planting a clump of bamboo in the corner, look at the variety, or rare purple bamboo, flowers and plants do not need more, only these few bamboos, it is full of elegance.
No matter more, it's cumbersome.
After the weeping flower door, it is the second courtyard, but also the main courtyard, the owner's daily residence, hospitality are here, so the spacious atmosphere of the building, the most eye-catching is the two ginkgo trees, the branches are thick and straight, straight into the sky, the crown is huge, at this time, it is the most beautiful time of the year, the gorgeous golden leaves, like gold shining, with the wind to the ground, as if spreading a layer of golden gorgeous carpet.
Xu Huaiyi immediately decided to wait for the yard to be cleaned, and he must not move here, his daughter-in-law must like this tone.
Sure enough, Gu Huanxi was already instructing Wei Ci, "Sweep the yard for a while and avoid this area." ”
Although Wei Ci was puzzled, he also subconsciously responded.
Gu Huanxi turned around again, in addition to the ginkgo tree, there were plum blossoms, and there was a Taiping jar in the center of the yard, and the water in it was so muddy that she couldn't see anything clearly, but she inexplicably felt that there were lotus flowers in it.
So the original owner, in fact, is an elegant person?
That's right, no one stipulates that a wealthy man who does business can't read elegantly, it must be a baht, shallow and vulgar, and full of copper smell.
Inside the house, Gu Huanxi didn't rush in, she didn't live for a few years, she must have accumulated a lot of dust and cobwebs, maybe there were mice and snakes, she was really a little scared of this, anyway, but looking at the appearance, she liked it very much, and the furnishings inside would not be bad, so she asked Wei Liang to clean it first.
Wei Liang and Wei An, when she was walking around the yard just now, had already brought in all the household belongings and food, and the mule carts were all parked.
Gu Xiaoyu also rolled up his sleeves to help.
Gu Huanxi went to Sanjin Courtyard again, there should have been a small garden here, but it has been abandoned for a few years, and now it has long been unable to see its original appearance, it is covered by overgrown weeds, and there are also three houses in the middle, and the east and west wings, but they are not as big as the main courtyard, and they are usually the female dependents who have not left the pavilion at home live here.
Looking back and forth, Gu Huanxi was not satisfied with one place, "Why is there no place to enjoy the lake view?" Isn't that the lake in vain? ”
Xu Huaiyi immediately said, "It's simple, I'll get you a window on the wall later, and when you open the window, you can see the lake view." ”
Gu Huanxi reminded speechlessly, "There is no such operation here." ”
Xu Huaiyi was at a loss, "Huh? Isn't it possible? Still taboo? ”
Gu Huanxi shook his head, "It's not taboo, but it's too out of place, it's better to open a side door and go out directly to see ......."
Xu Huaiyi stroked his palms and excitedly took the words, "Yes, tomorrow I will circle all the land around here, and after opening the side door, I will build a pavilion outside, and when the time comes, while drinking tea and reading books, while enjoying the scenery and blowing the wind, won't you be able to realize the life you wanted before?" ”
Gu Huanxi was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "Do you still remember?" ”
She did say it before, but it was just a fantasy, after all, at that time, they wanted to buy a large villa in the middle of the mountain and enjoy the scenery by the lake, but with their financial ability, it was impossible at all.
Who would have thought that coming here would be achieved without much effort.
Xu Huaiyi took her shoulders and said softly, "I remember everything you say, there are some things that I haven't done, it's not that I have forgotten, but I can't do it yet, but as long as you think about it, I will work hard to help you achieve it in the future." ”
As soon as this family was serious, it made her a little uncomfortable, Gu Huanxi said "um", and changed the topic in disguise, "Everyone has found a good house to settle down, right?" ”
Xu Huaiyi followed her words and said, "Basically, they all live in, when I came up to look for you, there are still a few hesitating, isn't there two missing in the yard, there are a few that are not very rich, and the population is small, so I want to live together for the time being, and I am discussing how to allocate the room, most of them are very happy, and they are already in full swing to clean up, everyone is very diligent, not homely, I can't sleep tonight." ”
"You said before that you wanted to ask the monk to chant the sutra or something, is it still neat?"
"It depends on the situation, if the conditions allow, it is better to make the whole An'an their mental calculations, and if you save the future, if something happens, you have to think nonsense."
Gu Huanxi nodded, and asked again, "Did Doctor Jiao prescribe medicine to smoke the house?" ”
Xu Huaiyi said, "It's open, but I can't get together so much medicine for a while, so I let the villagers find some wormwood to smoke first, and tomorrow he will find a way, by the way, he will buy the house on the other side of the lake, not as big as ours here, only one entry, but he lives by himself, which is enough." ”
Hearing this, Gu Huanxi couldn't help but smile and said, "That's really a coincidence, before in Xujia Village, we were also diagonally opposite the door, and we all lived at the foot of the mountain, but I didn't expect to come here, it's still like this." ”
Xu Huaiyi sighed, "It's all fate." ”
"Then you buy here, Uncle didn't say anything, right?"
"I want to talk about it, but then I saw that there were only a few decent yards in the village, and they couldn't share them, so could they ask me to grab them? There are thatched houses, but after so many days of traveling, he also knows that our family background, it makes no sense for them to live in brick houses, but he asked us to buy a broken house for one or two silver, isn't that a cold for us? So he can't open his mouth, and we can only decide for ourselves. ”
"So, he bought a yard for eight taels of silver?"
"Well, he has one, the fourth uncle has one, Village Chief Xu, the second uncle Gao, and Uncle Liu have also each divided one, and the others can't buy it even if they have silver."
"Settle down first, and then find someone to re-flip the lid later."
"That's not to spend more money and effort, besides, seeing that it's cold, no one is building in winter, and I can't suffer the crime, if I want to rectify, it has to be the spring of next year, and it depends on the abundance at hand, now at most clean up the roof and courtyard wall, and I'll go up to ......see it later."
The two of them chattered and talked, and the front was almost cleaned, first close to the five rooms in the main room, and then slowly clean up the others.
