"That should be it, right?"

Ruan Jiaojiao wore a hat and fanned the wind with a newly bought fan, and accompanied by Steward Xu to the gate of an extremely wide courtyard.

She looked at a lot of houses for sale in the "Living" section, and wrote them all down in her small notebook, ready to buy them one by one.

Of course, in the early stage, she had a good time, and in the later stage, she asked Steward Xu to come forward.

Steward Xu and Cao Kang didn't feel strange about the listing information written by Ruan Jiaojiao in the notebook.

After all, Ruan Jiaojiao has many friends and extraordinary backgrounds, and it is normal to have channels to receive news.

This time I came to the door of the house that Ruan Jiaojiao looked at her favorite, although it was not the largest area, but it was also the size of two sets of Ruan Mansion, and the front and back gardens added up to nearly 2,000 square meters, which was also the top bungalow she had visited in later life.

The house had been purchased by a luxury company in her original days for exhibitions and banquets, and now it's hers.

"It's here." Cao Kang was not afraid of the sun or the heat, so he stepped forward and wiped the door number hidden in the bushes, and then shouted into the yard: "Is there anyone?" Is there anybody? ”

"It's coming, it's coming!"

In less than half a minute, a little gray-haired old man hurriedly ran out of the bungalow.

Through the iron door, he asked softly, "You, what are you here for?" ”

Maybe it was because he hadn't been in contact with people for a long time or for other reasons, the old man's eyes were evasive, his expression was very unnatural, and he looked a little cringe.

"Sir, is this house yours? We inquired that the house seemed to be intended ......"

Steward Xu stopped and did not continue.

The old man looked at Ruan Jiaojiao and the others through the iron door, and then opened the door, "It's mine, come in and take a look." ”

The front yard was overgrown with weeds, and the old man was obviously reluctant to clean it up, only a stone path in the middle for people to walk on.

The bungalows are big, but the baroque style stained glass windows are broken a lot, and the white walls outside still have black traces of fire, which are far less atmospheric and exquisite than they look in later generations.

Walking into the house, it was undoubtedly shady, there was no furniture in the hall, the floor and staircase handrails were dusty, and the desolation was terrible.

The old man didn't speak, but quietly took Ruan Jiaojiao and the three of them through the three-story building, and then took them to look at the backyard.

The back garden is even more barren than the front garden, the weeds have grown up to the steps, and as far as the eye can see, there is a small fountain of statues in the back garden.

It's just that the statue has been destroyed, and the pool of the fountain is full of turbid and green water, and standing at the door of the backyard, you can faintly smell a stench.

"You're in your possession, right?" Ruan Jiaojiao covered her nose with a fan, turned her head and walked back to the house, asking the old man who was silent as she walked.

"Yes, if you want, I can accompany you to the deed today." Without waiting for Ruan Jiaojiao to ask the price, the old man lowered his head and continued, "I want 20,000." ”

Hiss...... At this price, not to mention Cao Kang, even Steward Xu was secretly frightened.

Although they all know that Ruan Jiaojiao is definitely not worse than 20,000 yuan, but this price is placed in the Shanghai market, on such a dilapidated and desolate house, it is really a lion's mouth.

Ruan Jiaojiao looked up at the intricate ceiling in the room, and turned her head to look at the dusty but still brilliant wood carved gallery walls.

She once read a celebrity autobiography, which wrote a lot about this era, for example, the smaller courtyard houses in Beijing now only cost a few thousand yuan, and the larger ones are only more than 10,000 yuan.

However, for Ruan Jiaojiao, it makes no difference between thousands and tens of thousands, and the house at this time is so cheap that I am sorry for myself if I don't buy it.

The old man knew at a glance that Ruan Jiaojiao was the person in charge of the three, and seeing that she was silent, he thought that the price was still not good, so he gritted his teeth, "If you pay with yellow croaker and US dollars, I can give you 500 yuan cheaper." ”

Ruan Jiaojiao raised her eyebrows.

Obviously, the old man sold the house because he wanted to go abroad, otherwise he would not want to exchange foreign currency and portable gold.

As for how to get out, people must have their own methods, and Ruan Jiaojiao will not ask.

However, among the gold, national currency and foreign currency, Ruan Jiaojiao must choose the national currency to pay, because the other two will rise, and they will rise faster after opening up.

They are fair deals, and they have no affection, and Ruan Jiaojiao can't make it easy for him.

"No, it's 20,000. Pass the deed today. ”

As soon as Ruan Jiaojiao's words fell, Cao Kang took out two thick stacks of blue unity from the big bag in his hand under the signal of Steward Xu.

When the old man saw the two stacks of money, he finally had a smile on his face.

Since he released the news, it's not that no one has come to watch, but no one is willing to pay more than 10,000 yuan, and he gritted his teeth and didn't let go, so he has been delayed and failed to sell.

Of course, he was also very anxious in his heart, on the one hand, he wanted to go out early to reunite with his family, and on the other hand, he was unwilling, unwilling to sell this bungalow that had witnessed the glory of the family, and he couldn't sleep well at night.

But now it's finally good!

Looking at the thick money in Cao Kang's hand, the old man was very particular about not stretching out his hand, but quickly preparing to go to the room at the end of the first floor to get the deed.

He hurriedly walked halfway, and immediately turned back, perhaps because he felt that Ruan Jiaojiao was generous and refreshing, and his words also faded from the previous caution, "I still have a few furniture gadgets in that house, you can make up another $1,000 for me, and it's all yours, okay?" ”

The old man is the son of a former big capitalist, how can he not have this bit of eyesight, and he can see at a glance that Ruan Jiaojiao has definitely just returned to China, and there must be foreign currency.

Unlike him, he couldn't leave, although he survived by luck, but the light in his eyes has long been gone.

The three of them followed the old man to look at the room that the old man had missed and had not introduced just now, and it was really full of rosewood furniture.

A small couch for sleeping, a carved desk, a large cabinet and chairs, all available.

Rosewood is antioxidant and does not rot for thousands of years, so the purple and black furniture in the house is very well preserved.

The old man had very little luggage, and there was hardly any trace of life in the room except for the thin quilt on the small couch, so he went to open the large cabinet, which contained several vases and porcelain bowls.

"How? These are old things, and I'm not going to take them away, 1000 you definitely won't lose. ”

There was pride and a hint of reluctance in the old man's words.

As you can see, these things are his treasures.

Everything in the house has been emptied, and it can still hide these, which shows true love.

Ruan Jiaojiao nodded, and Steward Xu took out a stack of green coins from his bag, counted ten and handed them over.

The old man smiled and took it in his pocket, then took out the deed from under the desk and showed it to the three of them, and after getting half of the payment, he did not leave in a hurry, but took the three of them to the basement, which was also the place where he hid his furniture.
