Chapter 32 Buying a House
After all, it is Pingyang County. At this time, the stalls on both sides of the road have not dispersed, and it is very lively.
The carriage passed through two streets, and the hustle and bustle decreased, then became more and more erratic, and finally became quieter.
Cheng Xue was "impatient" and whispered to Li Hui:
"This is called being close? It's all crossing two streets."
Yang Jiyi chuckled and responded:
"The head of the alley in front is just right. Did Miss Li see the spire? That is the tribute courtyard in our county, so it's close."
"That's the benefit." Cheng Xue spared no effort to "complain".
She is not a pretentious person, but she can save money if she can. The money is not caused by the strong wind.
Finally, the carriage stopped, and Yang Ji went to open the yard. After Li Hui got off the car, he helped Cheng Xue and held her hand into the yard.
The yard is not big but very square and square. The yard walls on both sides are built with red bricks higher than normal height, and are more private than in the village. The bluestone slabs on the ground are covered with drainage ditches on the east and west sides, and water will not be stored in the yard in a rainstorm.
Three houses facing north and south, red bricks, green tiles, and the paint on the window frames is very new, and it should have been painted for a while.
"We took over the yard and cleaned it up. Mrs. Li, look, isn't this yard full of circumstance? As the saying goes, "The sky is round and the place is round", and square means that the people who live in the house are stable.
The eldest son of the former homeowner passed the Jinshi last year. This year, his parents took their family to join him. The house was in a hurry, and if they were looking at the price, they would be cheap."
Cheng Xue pretended to be lacking in interest, but Li Hui was still extremely excited.
"Wife, I think the yard is good, let's go into the house and take a look."
"Yes, yes, go into the house and look in the house."
Yang Qiyi spoke while opening the door of the main room, and the kitchen that caught his eye was the outer room.
There is a row of cabinets and shelves against the wall on the east side. Two water tanks are pretty good and can be used directly. On the west side, there are two stoves, one big pot and one fried spoon.
The red bricks on the floor and the walls of the house are also well maintained, which shows that the original owner is very clean.
As Jayi introduced, the house was very big, and the kang in the inner room was almost as good as the one in the east room of the family. You should know that this is Pingyang County, and no matter how much money it is, it must be like a lot of money.
"There were many owners in the original house, so the kang bunker was quite small. The two houses next door were like this, and the furniture was exactly the same." Yang Yiyi took the opportunity to introduce.
Cabinets, boxes, tables, chairs, etc. are all available.
"These are all left by the original owner. You don't need to buy anything after you buy it, just live in it. Let's go to the two houses next door to take a look?"
Li Hui nodded and said "Okay", dragging Cheng Xue, who was "willingly" to the next door.
When Yang Yi saw this situation, he immediately realized that there was no chance again.
If he hadn't seen the silver notes Li Hui brought to Lu Yin, he wouldn't have been so troubled and paid for lunch out of his own pocket. If this didn't happen...
No, you must succeed, otherwise you will go home and eat yourself next month.
The layout of the houses on both sides is the same as that of the main house. The greased paper on the windows is obviously new this year, which can save a lot of money.
"Wife, I think this place is good. The courtyard is full of furniture. Just bring some bowls, chopsticks and quilts."
"What's the use of being complete? We won't live here for a long time." Cheng Xue still "didn't let go."
Li Hui winked at Yang Jiyi and pulled Cheng Xue to the side and muttered in a low voice:
"My wife, Brother Yang is here to watch it for a day. He has worked hard even if he has no credit. I think this house is good, so why don't we buy it? Lu Yin only has five days, and it's been two days."
"What are you afraid of? Lu Yin is fine one day earlier and one day later. Let's see it tomorrow."
"But I don't want to see my wife. You are in poor health and I'm worried that you will be exhausted. Just this. Let Brother Yang give you the lowest price, okay?"
Cheng Xue sighed "reluctantly" and shook his hand away and said:
"One hundred and eight, buy it if possible, forget it if not."
"Oh, Madam Li, this house cannot be sold for 180 taels, at least 200 taels of silver. Do I need to say the price of furniture, yards, and bluestone slabs? There are also the paints of window frames and cabinets, which are all newly painted this year, and 18 taels are really not possible."
Yang Yayi was almost crying, and he had never seen such a bargaining price for a house.
Today, I not only opened my eyes to men, but also increased my understanding of bargaining for women.
"Yes, my wife, 18 is a bit too much."
"Where are you? Are you stupid?"
"I don't have a wife, but 18 is really too much!" Li Hui looked aggrieved.
Cheng Xue glared at him with anger and said:
"Are you stupid? Although the house is far away from the main street, it is next to the Gongyuan and has a Jinshi. How can it be so cheap? You... Alas, be more brainy!"
Yang Yi widened his eyes when he heard this, and shook his head quickly to defend himself:
"Miss Li, don't listen to others talking nonsense. This daughter-in-law Xiaoyue was before the eldest child passed the imperial examination. If there was really a problem with the house, could he pass the imperial examination?"
Cheng Xue just said it casually, but she didn't expect that this was actually true.
I have bought a house, so what are you afraid of? I just want to save some money.
"Since you are so honest, it's okay to have two hundred, but we won't pay the red deeds."
Yang Yi knew that he could only do this, so he nodded heavily and agreed.
When I was about to leave by car, the woman next door just came out. When she saw Yang Jiyi, she asked with a look of alertness:
"Who did the house be sold? Where did it come from? Are you sure?"
Yang Yiyi was already unhappy, and from this tone, she didn't answer questions and answers as usual.
In this way, the woman was unhappy and was not angry to remind her:
"If this house is not strong, don't buy it, it's easy..."
"Sister-in-law Zhang is careful!" Yang Qiyi scolded and interrupted, "If you disturb your business, you will be whipped thirty according to Liangyan's law. I think you are a woman and don't care about you, but if you are more and more arrogant, don't blame me for being rude."
"What, you hit me? Come on, hit, hit, hit here..."
Sister Zhang said as she walked forward. After Yang Yi read the book for a few days, he naturally could not have the same knowledge as an ignorant woman.
However, Cheng Xue is the most talkative woman she doesn't like.
He pushed it away and stood by himself and said:
"How kind can you be? If you sincerely remind me, you should say it when you saw us couple just now, instead of waiting until someone ignores you before speaking. The old man often says, 'People who owe you the mouth, go to the prison of tongue pulling out', you should be careful."
"you--"
"The child is back quickly, he's peed."
Mrs. Zhang was scolded by the man and was embarrassed, but she could see that she was afraid of the man and went back in shame.
Yang Yili didn't expect Cheng Xue to be able to speak, and her impression of her has improved a lot.
Back to Jixing, Yang Jixing held his head and chest up, which was obviously different from before.
After Li Hui insisted on the toughness of the name of the letter, he wrote "Yu Xue", paid and put his handprints on it, and Yang Qiyi took it to the manager to stamp it.
The side of the house, Ji Yiyi, was left and he couldn't help but smack his tongue. He said:
Chapter completed!
