Chapter 49 Buying a Mansion
After listening to Xie Xuan, Qian Taiduo picked up a few night pearls and began to observe them carefully, he found that each night pearl was white and flawless, and the light emitted made him almost unable to open his eyes, and the surface felt as smooth as silk.
Qian Taiduo put down a night pearl in his hand, rolled his eyes, looked at Xie Xuan with a smile and said: "Little brother, the quality of your night pearls is really good, the contemptible people have never seen such a pure night pearl, so let's make you a friend, a total of two hundred and twenty-two night pearls, the current money in the pawnshop can only buy a hundred, I buy them for 30,000 taels of silver each, what do you think?"
When Xie Xuan heard this, a night pearl could be sold for 30,000 taels! He had never seen 30,000 taels in his life, his face was suddenly full of joy, and he just wanted to agree, but Sima Mo on the side stood up and laughed. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"I said that the money shopkeeper, do business to pay attention to honesty and trust, your family is big, why do you want to be cheap?
"What does this brother mean? Qian didn't quite understand. The smile on Chantedo's face stopped.
"I don't need to say it too clearly, in fact, you and I both understand it in our hearts, in this way, a night pearl is 100,000 taels. ”
As soon as Sima Mo's words came out, Xie Xuan and the others couldn't help but be in an uproar, 100,000 taels, this is too outrageous, right?
"This brother, since you are a person who understands, then I will also pay a real price, fifty thousand taels of one, what do you think?" said Chantaido, who opened his palm.
"One hundred thousand taels!"
"Eighty thousand taels!"
"One hundred thousand taels! one tael must not be missing, otherwise we will leave immediately and go to the imperial city to sell." ”
"It's... Hey, well, I'll have the right to make a few of your friends, and if I hadn't fallen in love with you, I wouldn't have made this loss-making deal. 100,000 is 100,000!"
Qian Taiduo made a sad look, but he didn't hesitate anymore, since the price was negotiated, he had to abide by it, so he asked his men to take out 10 million taels of silver tickets from the account room and hand them to Xie Xuan, Xie Xuan took the thick stack of silver tickets, and was speechless in surprise. Sima Mo smiled and motioned for everyone to leave, so Xie Xuan collected the silver ticket, wrapped the remaining one hundred and twenty-two night pearls, and walked out of the pawnshop with them.
"Sima Mo, you are too ruthless, people say that you want 100,000 for 30,000, which makes the money shopkeeper make a loss-making deal, isn't it good?" Xie Xuan came to the street and looked at Sima Mo and said.
Do you know how much silver he can sell for if he sells those night pearls?"
"How much?"
"Conservatively estimated, one is almost 150,000!" Sima Mo said.
"Ten... 150,000 yuan! My God, how can I sound like this silver is like a stone on the street? Then, according to what you say, aren't we selling at a loss? Let's go back to him and settle accounts!" With that, Xie Xuan wanted to go back to the pawnshop.
Sima Mo hurriedly stretched out his hand and grabbed Xie Xuan, and said with a smile: "I tell you, this business is to make profits for both parties, he gave you the right price, and you also have to let him make a profit, otherwise, won't he become a big wrongdoer? Don't look at him so painful just now, in fact, I am very happy in my heart!"
Xie Xuan and the others at this time admired Sima Mo's five-body throw, these knowledge they don't know at all, except for Sima Mo, Jin Ruiwan's family used to be rich, but at that time he was still young, he definitely didn't understand these business things, it seems that if it wasn't for Sima Mo today, then he would really lose a lot.
Xie Xuan and the five of them walked towards the north of the city with a smile and a smile, and they didn't go far out of the city gate, when an extremely magnificent mansion appeared in front of them. This house is different from the euphemistic style of Sima Mo's house, it is a typical Central Plains building, with red tall walls, golden and neat bricks, dignified and solemn columns, simple and elegant interiors, and from a distance, it looks like a small imperial palace, much larger than Sima Mansion.
Everyone shouted excitedly, and ran to the door of the mansion, Xie Xuan walked up the steps and knocked on the door, and after a while, an old man in his seventies with a hunched back slowly opened the door.
"Who are you?" asked the old man, his voice hoarse.
"Hello old family, I heard that this house is for sale, so I want to buy it. Xie Xuan bowed and said.
"Oh, then come in with me. ”
Everyone followed the old man into the house, and saw that as soon as they entered the door, there was a wide courtyard, about half the size of the Chongyang faction's martial arts field, and it would not feel crowded if a hundred horses were placed there. Facing the gate is the main hall of this house, which covers an area of about five acres, ten zhang high, and is extremely majestic. The main hall is divided into two floors, the lower floor is the living room, the upper floor can be used as a study building, all kinds of yellow rosewood furniture are readily available, the lower hall is in the center of a half-person high and three people thick incense burner, but because the house is uninhabited, this incense burner is not lit, but you can still smell the slightest fragrance.
The crowd walked towards the back of the main hall and came to a garden where all kinds of flowers and trees were thriving, and the birds were singing and fragrant. There is a small pavilion not far away, in which a round stone table is placed, Sima Mo said that this pavilion is a good place to drink in the future, which resonates with everyone. The group walked about a hundred or so steps forward, through a long corridor made of flowers, and around a flower bed to the backyard.
The backyard is also wide, with four or five horses in the corner stables. Not far away, nine quaint rooms are neatly arranged, the middle one is the largest, it is for the owner of the house to live, and the others are guest rooms, but even if it is a guest room, the decoration inside is also very exquisite. The veil hangs low, creating a hazy atmosphere, the walls are half-covered with brocade, and the roof of the room is painted with stars and moons. The finely carved jade-inlaid tooth bed, the brocade quilt is embroidered, and there is a small sachet hanging on the curtain hook, scattering a faint fragrance, Nangong Qin likes it very much.
Everyone returned to the front yard after watching a lap, and they were very satisfied. Xie Xuan looked at the old man and said, "Old man, we are very satisfied with this house, I don't know where its original owner is now, and how many silver taels do you need?"
"The original owner of this house is an important minister in the court, he was recently promoted, went to the imperial city as an official, because of the long distance, inconvenient to come and go, so sold, the price of silver 300,000 taels, this is already a sky-high price, and I hope that all young people will think twice. The old man said.
Xie Xuan smiled after hearing this, then took out a large handful of silver tickets from his arms, counted 300,000 taels and handed them to the old man, the old man took it and looked at it, and his surprise was beyond words.
Xie Xuan looked at the old man and said, "Old man, this family has left, why are you still here?
"Hey, Lao Yu was originally a slave of this family, and when the master moved away, he also asked me to go to the imperial city together, but the old man was too old to travel long distances, so he stayed here, and when there was a buyer, I handed over the silver to the money bank, and the money village would give it to the master. The old man said slowly.
"Old man, this house has been sold, where do you live?" Xie Xuan continued to ask.
"Haha, I can't live for a few years, it's the same wherever I sleep, I sleep for a day, I don't have a day, but fortunately, I don't have anything to worry about. “
Xie Xuan listened, his heart seemed to be blocked by a big stone, an old man who had been a subordinate for a big family all his life, but finally ended up being displaced, it was really heart-wrenching. Xie Xuan only felt that his eyes were hot at this time, and he bowed down to the old man and said: "Old man, I have bought this house now, I am its new owner, I need someone to help me manage the housework, and I bought such a big house so that some orphans in Fancheng can live in, so that they can have a place to shelter from the wind and rain, I beg the old man to stay, help me manage this family, and teach the children some benevolence, righteousness and etiquette by the way." ”
The old man didn't expect the young man in front of him to be so polite, since Xie Xuan and the others entered the door just now, he thought that this was just a group of gentlemen, but he didn't expect that he bought this house for the orphans in the city, and suddenly felt inexplicably moved in his heart, and asked, "Young man, what's your name?"
"Junior Xie Xuan, he is a disciple of the Chongyang Sect!"
"Oh, it's still a member of the Chongyang faction? Okay, good, it's really rare for young people nowadays to have such a mind! If you don't dislike the old man, then the old man will stay and do something for this family!" the old man said and knelt down for Xie Xuan, after all, Xie Xuan was his new master.
Xie Xuan was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly dragged the old man's arm with his hand, knelt down first, looked at the old man and said: "Old man, you can stay to give face to the younger generation, how can you still let you kneel?
The old man saw that Xie Xuan was so polite and educated, and as the new head of the family, he was so respectful to a bad old man, and he was moved to tears for a while.
"Old man, I don't know your name?" Xie Xuan asked.
"The head of the family, the old slave's surname is Wang Mingtuo. The old man bowed to Xie Xuan and said.
"Okay, then I will call you Grandpa Wang in the future, you don't have to bow to me in this family in the future, I am just a junior in front of you, not the head of the family. Xie Xuan said with a smile.
"Haha! Look, Xie Xuan just bought a mansion and is fortunate enough to know Grandpa Wang, let's celebrate it! Xie Xuan, how do you say we should celebrate?" Sima Mo said with a smile.
"I see, let the poor people in the city of Brahma have a full meal! Xie Xuan said.
After hearing this, everyone walked out of the house and scattered in all directions, each of them for the house.
