Chapter 183: Buying a house

"One thousand taels of silver, so expensive?" Xiao Tianming said incredulously. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

At this moment, Xiao Tianming, Zhao Ruomu, and Sun Yu were in the town office, and in front of them were the clerks of the town office who managed the house title deed.

This clerk is about 30 years old, with a calm face and a businesslike appearance.

"Although this temple has been dilapidated, the overall structure has not been damaged, count you one hundred taels of silver, the land is nine hundred taels of silver, and the title deed adds up to one thousand taels of silver. The clerk said indifferently.

"You guys are lying ......" Sun Yu was furious and was about to have a seizure, but Zhao Ruomu covered his mouth.

Xiao Tianming also frowned, always feeling that there was something wrong in the middle.

He didn't think that he shouldn't spend money, the broken temple in Lingyun Village belonged to the poor countryside, and there were vacant land everywhere in the village.

But after all, Shilong Town is a large town within a radius of dozens of miles, and the land in the town can also be sold for silver.

It's just a price of one thousand taels, which is too expensive, and in Xiao Tianming's estimate, two hundred taels is about the same.

In today's year, the living expenses of a townman for a year are only seven or eight taels of silver, and one thousand taels of silver is enough for a family to live in peace and prosperity for more than a hundred years!

It's not that Xiao Tianming can't afford to pay this money, but he didn't keep all the silver tickets on him. His net worth is almost 10,000 taels of silver, but unfortunately he also has 300 taels with him.

Last time, it cost a hundred taels to buy moire satin for Lecturer Xu Ran, and he used a lot of bits and pieces, but now he only has a hundred taels of silver tickets and dozens of silver.

Do you want him to go back to Lingyun Village to get it?

He couldn't help but look at Zhao Ruomu and Sun Yu.

"I have more than a hundred taels on me. Sun Yu said honestly.

"Me too. Zhao Ruomu then said.

"Then what should I do, why don't I just go back to Lingyun Village, anyway, I should be able to rush back in the evening. Xiao Tianming hesitated.

"Then I have to let Xiaocao and Ah Ting sleep together in the inn today. ”

However, the plan was good, but when it was carried out, it went wrong, and when they returned to the ruined temple to tell the two girls about the matter, they were unanimously opposed.

"Xiaocao is not leaving, I want to stay here and wait for my brother. Xiaocao said stubbornly. She lowered her head and shook her head slightly, the two leaves on the small fruit hairpin swaying in the wind.

"Isn't it just a thousand taels of silver, I have it here. Lei Ting grinned and took out the one thousand taels of silver tickets that Aunt Lei had secretly stuffed into her.

Xiao Tianming smiled bitterly, but he didn't refuse, but he made a decision in his heart, he must return the money to Lei Ting as soon as possible, and use the girl's money to make him blush a little.

He, Zhao Ruomu and Sun Yu rushed to the town administration office again, this time it was very smooth, and the other party happily found out the title deed and handed it to Xiao Tianming.

"Put it away, if you lose it, come to the town office to redo it, there are archived records, and the house deed and title deed can not be bought and sold privately, it must be notarized by the town office, and it is only valid if it is archived here. The middle-aged clerk told in detail.

"Thank you, we remembered. Xiao Tianming said politely.

The three of them left the town office again, and it was not yet noon at this time, the three of them acted separately, Zhao Ruomu and Sun Yu went to find craftsmen to help carry materials at the same time, and Xiao Tianming went to the grocery store to help buy daily necessities.

Although the weather is hot, the craftsmen are reluctant to go out to work, but there will be brave men under the heavy reward, three hundred taels of silver tickets down, the craftsmen work overtime, busy from morning to afternoon, even the hottest period at noon does not stop, the temple is completely new before dusk.

The doors, windows and roof tiles have all been repaired, the internal and external walls have been repainted, and a lot of furniture has been added, beds, cabinets, tables and chairs are readily available, and a new stove has been built, which has become exactly the same as Xiao Tianming's house in Lingyun Village.

"Ah Ting, Ruomu, Ah Yu, I will definitely find a way to pay back your money as soon as possible. Xiao Tianming assured.

Because of Uncle Lei's teachings, he wanted to write down three IOUs, but unfortunately they were rejected.

"Brother Tianming, you don't have to pay back the 1,000 taels of silver, just treat it as my future, the ...... of the future" Lei Ting said as her little face turned red again, and she couldn't say the rest of the words.

She suddenly turned to Xiaocao, touched her little head with both hands, and said with a smile: "Xiaocao, I'll live here for the time being, okay?"

In the past, Xiao Tianming touched her head, but now that she has Xiaocao, she can also try to be a sister.

Hearing this, Xiaocao nodded again and again: "Okay." ”

Lei Ting smiled with satisfaction, turned around and went back to the house to make dinner.

Xiao Tianming frowned, and suddenly remembered that he seemed to have ignored something.

"Xiaocao, why didn't you see the little monkey?" Xiao Tianming looked around, from morning to now, he didn't see the magical gray-haired little monkey, could it be that he went to catch fish again?

He remembered the four-legged monster fish that made him so strong last time, and he couldn't help but lick his lips, it was really beautiful.

"The little monkey said in the morning that he wanted to catch the bird and come back to eat, but I told him not to go. Xiaocao replied, the look on her face was full of worry.

"Don't worry, the little monkey is just going out to play, and it will come back naturally when it has had enough. Xiao Tianming saw Xiaocao's appearance and hurriedly comforted him.

Sun Yu pursed his lips and didn't speak, that dead monkey is so powerful, how could something happen, if something happens, it will be the person who is targeted by the monkey.

A cry sounded, and when he heard this voice, the worried expression on Xiaocao's face disappeared in an instant, and he was full of smiles.

said that Cao Cao Cao arrived, and the owner of the voice was the gray-haired little monkey, but the little monkey was a little embarrassed now.

The gray monkey hair was messy, stained with a lot of mud, and in some places it was so black that it seemed to have been scorched by fire, and it emitted a foul smell.

"Little monkey, what's wrong with you?" The smile on Xiaocao's face suddenly disappeared, and a pair of big eyes were full of crystals, and tears were dripping from his eyes.

"Twitter......" Seeing that Xiaocao was so sad and sad, the little monkey's face suddenly wrinkled, and he kept screaming, as if to explain something.

"You accidentally fell?" said Shogun.

"Twitter......" the little monkey cried again.

The gray-haired little monkey stretched out his right arm and patted the skinny chest fiercely, in order to show that he was really fine, and patted it "poof".

"Little monkey, you can't be so naughty in the future. The little girl's face was solemn, and she said in a serious way.

The little monkey immediately nodded.

"Xiaocao, this is the little monkey you said, it's so dirty, wash her quickly!" Lei Ting, who was cooking in the house, suddenly ran out.

She originally wanted to touch the gray-haired little monkey, but found that the little monkey was very dirty, so she quickly took her hand back.

......What is surprising is that the moment the little monkey saw Lei Ting, he immediately opened his teeth and claws, revealing his fierce appearance, as if he didn't like Lei Ting's appearance.

"Little monkey, be polite, this big sister will live with us in the future. Xiaocao pointed at Lei Tingdao.

It's a pity that her appeasement effect is not great, the little monkey still grinned at Lei Ting, Lei Ting didn't care, but went back and took out the wooden basin, scooped water from the water tank and let the little monkey take a bath.

The little monkey was very clever, and jumped in to scrub himself without asking for help.

Soon dinner was ready, Xiao Tianming, Zhao Ruomu, and Sun Yu stayed for a meal, and then rushed back to Shangwutang. (To be continued.) )
