Chapter 53 The Zhao family brothers
After listening to the introduction of the shopkeeper Zhao, Shen Feng was indeed a little moved, and after solving the affairs of the Xiao family, he would do some other things, although there was Uncle Gen and them to help at that time, but there were no professional people like these people, and they could learn more about some people and things in this world from their mouths.
Thinking of this, Shen Feng nodded, "There is Lao Zhao's shopkeeper, I want them all, let them go down to take a bath and eat something first." ”
After the two left, Shen Feng said to Shopkeeper Zhao: "Now there are six people in total, how much silver does Shopkeeper Zhao calculate." ”
"Okay, I'll give Childe the fairest price. Shopkeeper Zhao picked up the abacus from the counter, crackled and slammed it, and muttered: "The three children are each one hundred taels of silver, the bookkeeper is one hundred and twenty taels, the housekeeper is one hundred and eighty taels, and as for the cook, I will count you sixty-five taels of silver." Childe, a total of six hundred and sixty-five taels of silver. ”
"Okay, but there is one more thing to trouble Shopkeeper Zhao, I am a newcomer, and I am still living in the inn, so these people are still staying with you for the time being, and I will ask the brother who brought me over to take me over to see the house." If it's appropriate, let them go straight over, and if not, I'll pick them up tonight and follow me to the inn. ”
Shen Feng said while settling the bill for Shopkeeper Zhao.
"It's okay with this little thing, is Childe talking about the little eye that brought you here? Did he tell you that I am only in the same village as him?"
"Hmm!"
"Then he must have told you about the house on Yuqian Street and the house on Wencai Street, right?"
"What's the matter?
"Haha, I know too well, then you don't have to look for him, I'll tell you the situation directly, the house on Yuqian Street is not suitable for you, not only is there few rooms, the yard is relatively small, and the back street is still a Fengyue Street, if you want to stay for a few days, it's okay to stay for a few days, but if you live for a long time, there will be a lot of noise all day long, and there will always be all kinds of problems with prostitutes, so it's not a good place to settle down. Wencai Street is different, the estimate of the house seller he also told you, is the gentleman of the academy, not only the house is big, but the environment is very quiet and elegant, and the neighborhood is also a place where literati and ink writers gather, like a talented person like Childe, it is more suitable there. Mr. Teaching's asking price is not less than two thousand taels of silver, but it's okay, Childe can go and see it first, and if you think it's appropriate, I can come forward and cut down another two hundred taels of silver for you. Hearing Shen Feng say to buy a house, Shopkeeper Zhao said with a smile.
"That's good, there has to be a shopkeeper Lao Zhao, it's just that Brother Zhao's side ......"
"Zhao Xiaoyan'er? I guess he wants to fool you again, that kid is not only in the same village as me, he is also the second son of my uncle's family, and he is a cousin with me, but he is not as old as me, and he is not practical to work all day, so my uncle asked him to follow me over to train him, if he dares to bare his teeth, see if I don't smoke him to death!"
"Zhao Lao Er, you're not done yet, do you think I'm really afraid of you? You dare to brag to Gongzi and cut down two hundred taels of silver? Don't you know how stubborn that old man is? Don't say two hundred taels, even five taels is estimated to be useless, I have been grinding for several days, and that stubborn old man won't let me enter the door at all. When the two were talking, they happened to be heard by Zhao Xiaoyan, who was just about to come in, so he immediately stopped doing it, and jumped to his feet and yelled at Zhao's shopkeeper.
"Don't be like a wail, that's you, since I dare to promise my son, I must have my own certainty. Shopkeeper Zhao said without showing weakness.
"Okay, that's what you said, if you can't buy it, you can let him fill the two hundred taels of silver by himself. Zhao Laoer, do you dare?"
"Of course you dare! What kind of house did you introduce to Childe? The house on Yuqian Street can also be said? How do you live in such a chaotic place? And Xiao Xinyan and Xiao Fenghe brothers and sisters have been arguing for so long, you don't know, the Xiao family is powerful, how can you let Gongzi go to the troubled waters of their family?"
"Didn't I have time to explain the situation to my son, besides, is my Zhao family really afraid that he Xiao family will not succeed? If my father really makes a force, they Xiao family will not be able to please anything if they don't see it, you know, the second child of the Xiao family laughed at his grandfather that year, we will remember it for him! But then again, the people of the Xiao family really don't have a good thing except Xiao Kexin.
Let's just say that this time, the two of them not only want to drive away this rich businessman, but also force the rich businessman to sell the house at a low price, Xiao Xinyan wants to raise his good friend in the Fengyue Building, and his sister Xiao Fenghe wants to get the shop at the door of the house to give her the face of the man who lives in Yi Mansion, it's really messy, son, what my second brother said is indeed right, if you want to say that it is appropriate, it is still the house of the old man on Wencai Street is suitable. I've been there once before, and tsk, that's a big family at first glance. Gee...... I just don't have money, I want to have money to buy a big house, make it like a family, and then also name it 'Zhao Mansion' good guy, I tell you Zhao Er, when you go to visit me, you have to go to the concierge to wait for me for a long time, but it's not that I snub you, the main thing is that the house is too big, and you have to walk for half a day, hahahaha......"
Shen Feng and Shopkeeper Zhao directly ignored Zhao Xiaoyan's obscenity, "Then which of you will go over with me to see the house?"
"Let Zhao Lao Er go, isn't he powerful, and he has to cut down two hundred taels of silver, who will go if he doesn't go?" Zhao Xiaoyan said directly.
"Let's go, I'll change my clothes and accompany you. After Shopkeeper Zhao said a word to Shen Feng, he got up and walked to the inner hall, "Xiaoyan, go to the backyard and prepare the car!
"Okay, I'll go over and see how you Zhao Lao Er makes a fool of yourself!" Zhao Xiaoyan muttered after hearing this, and went to prepare for it.
It didn't take long for Zhao Xiaoyan to come over again and say to Shen Feng, "The carriage is ready, Gongzi should get in the car first." ”
"There's Brother Lao Zhao!"
"You are our big customer today, don't be so polite, if you need anything in the future, you can let people come to me at any time, I promise to give you a Lili Suo!"
Just as the two were talking, Shopkeeper Zhao also changed into warm winter clothes and walked out of the house.
"Childe, please get in the car!"
The carriage is a two-wheeled box car, the box girder is carved with various auspicious bird and beast patterns, after Shen Feng raised his feet to enter the inside, he found that the space inside is about half of a modern van, and if there are four people facing each other, it is quite relaxed. And there is a narrow cabinet inside, in which some bits and pieces are placed, and the front of the carriage is hung with curtains, which can not only block the view from the outside, ensure the privacy of the space in the car, but also play a role in keeping warm and blocking the wind and rain. There is a window on each side of the carriage, through which passengers can enjoy the scenery outside.
As soon as the three of them sat inside, the coachman began to get busy, and the wheels slowly turned with a creaking sound.
"The weather is getting colder and colder, and it is estimated that it will snow in a while, so Xiaoyan will raise the charcoal stove, don't freeze Childe. Shopkeeper Zhao lifted a corner of the window curtain, looked at the pedestrians walking in a hurry outside, and said.
