PS: Thank you bnss for the reward, thank you for the monthly ticket encouragement.

Li Laoshi and Liang Xingxia bargained, Zhao Ran sat on the wall and watched, this is the doorway to do business, if he, the owner, goes up directly to talk about things, there will be no room for maneuver.

After watching for a while, Zhao Ran had a good impression of Liang Xingxia. This man is really a businessman, he does not use his aristocratic status to oppress people at all, and when he bargains, he mentions all the value of the house, such as the location, the size of the house, the cost of the original construction, the wood and stone used, and so on. Even if the argument is red-faced, it is all about business experience.

After cutting for a long time, Liang Xingxia only lowered the price to six thousand eight hundred taels, which was of course unsatisfactory, so Zhao Ran called Li Laoshi back and stepped forward to invite Liang Xingxia to drink.

Such a large deal naturally cannot be achieved overnight, and both parties need time to re-judge each other's bottom line. Liang Xingxia had also booked a restaurant, and immediately invited Zhao Ran to a restaurant in the next street.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Zhao Ran turned his head to Liang Xingxia.

"As far as I know, the Liang family is a big family of the Xia Kingdom, and I heard that Brother Liang is the nephew of the current Queen Mother?" This layer of relationship was told to Zhao Ran by Li Honestly, and Zhao Ran mentioned this matter, which can be regarded as a conversation.

Liang Xingxia really hit the trick, and said proudly: "Yes, my grandfather is the fifth son of Duke Wenjing, and he is the cousin of the former prime minister. ”

"Sure enough, it's the royal family and nobles, disrespectful and disrespectful!" Zhao Ran raised his glass in salute.

A few glasses of wine were taken in the mouth again. Liang Xingxia began to reminisce about the illustrious family background in the past under the guidance of Zhao Ran, and Zhao Ran sat on the side from time to time with a look of surprise on his face, or stroked his palms in admiration, giving full play to the role of praise, and Liang Xingxia talked about it a lot, and talked endlessly.

Before I knew it, two catties of wine went down my stomach. Zhao Ran didn't have anything to do, but Liang Xingxia was already drunk.

After reminiscing about going west, there is no need for Zhao Ran to continue to guide, Liang Xingxia naturally talked about the reason for his current downfall, which is also the key issue that Zhao Ran is most concerned about, so that he can judge the bottom line of the other party's bargaining.

In fact, when Liang Xingxia was a teenager, his father was in a high position as the deputy envoy of the degree, and the family was still as prominent as ever. It's just that once he messed up an errand and hurt his cousin, who was the queen at the time. was directly dismissed from office, so Liang Xingxia's branch declined. After arriving at Liang Xingxia's house, the family could no longer make ends meet, so they simply started trading. At first, the business was still good, but in the past two years, it has suffered repeated setbacks, lost a large amount of silver, and is now in debt. He begged his relatives and friends for loans, but no one paid attention. had to sell his ancestral home to pay off his debts.

Liang Xingxia has been very depressed in the past two years, and today it is easy to catch someone who is willing to listen to him. can be regarded as happy, pouring bitter water on Zhao Ran, and wiping more than a handful of tears during the banquet.

After eating this portion of the banquet, Liang Xingxia was already completely drunk, he took Zhao Ran's hand, widened his eyes and said, "Brother." You are a righteous ...... My brother rejoices today to meet such a ...... Rectal ......"

Zhao Ran was embarrassed, he was all next to him, "um", "sigh", "oh", "so it is", "what a pity", he really didn't talk much, I didn't know how to make such a comment.

“...... We, Xia people, speak straight and straight. Just like it...... I like to deal with straightforward people......" After a wine hiccups, Liang Xingxia shook his head and said: "To tell you honestly, I owe five thousand taels of silver, and I sold the house to pay off the debt, brother, you just need to ...... As long as you help me settle the debt and take the house away, your brother and I won't even frown, if you wrinkle, it's your grandson!"

Li Laoshi immediately pulled the corner of Zhao Ran's clothes and stuffed a silver ticket over.

Although the silver ticket is opened by the Ming Dynasty, but the merchants of the Ming Dynasty often use it as collateral in the Xia Kingdom, when encountering a large transaction, the silver ticket is delivered first, and then redeemed after the cash arrives, which is the common practice of buying and selling between enemy countries.

Another person may have completed the transaction directly at the wine table, but Zhao Ran is not, he has always thought that the things discussed at the wine table are uncountable, even if the contract is signed, it is not reliable. Liang Xingxia is obviously drunk, even if a deal is reached now, when he comes to his senses afterwards, there will definitely be all kinds of troubles. Today's goal has been achieved, find out the details of the other party, and then talk about business when the other party is sober, even if you pay more money, you are not afraid, the so-called win-win is the win, just thinking about taking advantage of yourself, and in the end you can only lose both.

Therefore, Zhao Ran shook his head and returned the silver ticket to Li Laoshi, so anxious that Li Laoshi scratched his ears and glared.

Liang Xingxia saw it next to him, blew his beard and said, "Brother, what do you mean, you don't believe in my brother, I think my brother, uh, drink too much, or is it too expensive to think five thousand taels?"

Zhao Ran explained: "This house is more than 5,000 taels, if you really sell it to me, brother, it will be a big loss, your brother is my brother, how can I pit my brother? ”

Liang Xingxia laughed and said: "I'll just say that I didn't see the wrong person! Eh, let me tell you, I'm really not drunk, if you don't believe it, I have brought the deed!" As he spoke, he took out the deed from his arms, slapped it on the table, and said loudly: "Brother, look at it, if there is a problem, I will cut off your head!"

In the laughter, Liang Xingxia tilted his head, his head drooped on the back of the chair and fell asleep, and the snoring sound shook the sky.

Li Laoshi stepped forward to pick up the deed and examine it carefully, nodded and said, "The deed is no problem, you just need to go to the official face to make a move." He looked at Liang Xingxia again and sighed: "It's a pity that he is drunk, otherwise he would have gone to the official mansion to do it now." ”

Zhao Ran shook his head and said: "That's not how business works, you've also seen the mansion, five thousand taels is too little." Let's not talk about it for now, let's send him back. So let Li Laoshi stuff the deed back into Liang Xingxia's arms.

Liang Xingxia lives not far away, in order to sell the house before, he has rented a small courtyard, and he has not even paid the house money, just waiting for the house to be sold and pay the rent. Liang Xingxia's wife, Liang Zuo, and an old servant came out to carry him back, and the landlord in the courtyard next door came out to take a look after hearing the movement, and then scolded and scolded: "I know that I drink all day, and I owe the house money for two months!" After scolding, he turned back to the house, and Liang Zuo's face was red on the spot.

Early the next morning, Zhao Ran and Li Laoshi came to the small courtyard rented by Liang Xingxia, and the one who opened the door was the old servant they saw yesterday. The old servant welcomed the two into the courtyard and went to the main room to call Liang Xingxia. Liang Xingxia just woke up, but he had a headache after the old sin, and now he was still lying in bed, and when he heard that Zhao Ran was visiting, he hurriedly dressed and washed.

Liang Zuo had already come out with a tray on which were two cups of hot tea. The old servant took out two more small stools, rubbed his hands and invited Zhao Ran and Li Laoshi to sit down.

Zhao Ran looked at this small courtyard, there were only three rooms, the patio where he stood was less than three zhang square, and at the east end was a small closed door, leading to the main courtyard where the landlord lived next door, everything seemed very shabby.

Liang Xingxia hurriedly came out of the main room and bowed his hand to Zhao Ran: "Brother is here? As he spoke, he took out the deed and handed it over: "This is the deed of that house, let's go to Kaifeng Mansion to issue a letter of guarantee now." Five thousand taels, brother, I don't want you for a penny. ”

Zhao Ran waved his hand and said, "Brother Liang, don't be busy, my junior brother came today, not to talk about the house......" nodded to Li Laoshi, Teacher Li took a small wooden box and handed it to Liang Xingxia, Liang Xingxia opened it and was stunned.

Zhao Ran said with a smile: "In the morning, I went next door and took down this small courtyard and the landlord's main courtyard together, which is considered a meeting gift from my brother to my brother." Whether the house is successful or not, this is a brother's heart, and I hope that my brother will not refuse. The landlord next door was packing up the house and preparing to move out, and promised me that I would move in in the afternoon, and then the wall across the door would be opened and the living space would be more spacious. ”

Liang Xingxia was stunned: "How can this be done?"

Zhao Ran smiled: "Why can't you do it? It's only a few hundred taels left and right, it's good not to dislike it." ”

Liang Zuo looked at Liang Xingxia from the side, Liang Xingxia was holding a wooden box, unable to speak for a while, but his eyes gradually turned red. (To be continued......)
