Chapter 20 Exquisite Small House

When he saw Jiyuan's exploring action, he saw Jiyuan's eyes clearly. The broker next to him realized that Jiyuan was actually a blind man. He didn't even notice it on the road just now, and the shopkeeper next to him also realized that the person who looked at the pen holder seemed to be a blind man.

"Uh, lord, do you like this holder?"

The shopkeeper felt a little embarrassed. After all, how could a blind man buy four treasures of the study? This question is a polite reminder that Ji Yuan should put down the pen holder. This pen holder is not cheap, and it would be bad if it fell.

This voice also brought Jiyuan back to reality. Although he heard the enthusiastic cooling of the guy, he was not unhappy.

"This shop guy, how much does this pen holder cost?"

Because of what happened just now, Lu Chengfeng looked at him coldly, and the shop assistant realized that he had lost his composure, so he would answer more respectfully.

"If you come back, although this yellow pen holder is placed outside, it is very exquisite from the materials to the workmanship. It is always easy to use. It costs 200 cents. It costs two hundred cents to go to Ning'an County and to the outside states and governments. It starts at a price of one tael of silver!"

Two hundred cents are considered expensive or not, there is no accurate concept of Jiyuan. However, I spent three cents to eat a bowl of Yangchun noodles before, and this pack is worth sixty or seventy meals. If ordinary people cook by themselves, they should be able to afford a hundred meals, which is not cheap.

Jiyuan can now be considered a huge sum of money. One hundred and fifty taels of silver is 150 stag, and 1,000 coins of copper have always been there. It is naturally more than enough to buy a pen holder, but there is no reliable source of income. Jiyuan still searches and doesn't want to buy it anymore.

Originally, it was useless. If you were in a bad mood in the future, these two hundred citations could save your life!

Jiyuan's consumption concept was very conservative in the past. Apart from buying games and computer accessories throughout the year, he basically didn't spend much money, which would make him feel a little stressed.

As for asking if you don’t buy something, you will feel embarrassed. I have never experienced this trick. His skin is probably born with it.

Ji Yuan put down his pen holder and stood up, nodding towards the house broker.

"It's almost done shopping. Let's go, let's go see the house."

"Oh, let's go here and go here, let's go to the east of the city first."

The broker walked ahead, and then followed.

Lu Chengfeng deliberately fell behind one step, looked at the pen holder on the stall table, and took out a piece of silver from the shop assistant's doubts.

"I want the pen holder."

The shop assistant didn't expect that he could really do this business and immediately took over the silver with a smile.

"Customer wait, pass the scale first, and then wrap it up for you!"

The shopkeeper quickly ran to the store with a pen holder and broken silver and handed the broken silver to the shopkeeper. The latter took out a mini scale to weigh the broken silver, and then took it on the abacus and made a few calculations.

Seeing that Lu Chengfeng didn't want to come in, the shopkeeper brought a thick-wrapped pen holder and a change outside.

"Customer, please get it. The silver weight is 6 baht, which is 250 yuan. This is your change, and ten are used as five treasures!"

When Wutongbao is a common saying, because the copper coins are equivalent to 5 liters of small coins in terms of weight and face value, and they should be called Hongyuan Tongbao.

Lu Chengfeng didn't even look at it, and took the thing and quickly chased the broker who was already a little far away...

I saw it in the morning at noon and walked through several places. Either the place was too remote or too small, or the location was noisy.

Jiyuan has reached the fifth location we are looking for today under the guidance of the broker, located in the south of the city.

After a brief look, there was a plaque on the gate. Before Jiyuan asked, the broker had already started introducing it.

"Mr. Ji, it's here. Ju'an Pavilion. This place is satisfied with you. It's quiet. Once you enter the courtyard, you will have a well in the courtyard. The back door of the courtyard is connected to the open space. It's also the house. If you expand it, it will be enough to build a big house for wealthy families!"

As he said that, the broker looked up at the strongest sunshine at noon, then took out the copper key and opened the copper lock on the door.

"Crack...sque"

When I opened the door, waves of dust fell down.

"Ahem...hem...no one has lived there for a long time..."

The broker waved his hand and patted him, and then asked Jiyuan and Lu Chengfeng to go in.

At this point, Ji Yuan felt a little excited. Although his eyesight was not good, he could also vaguely see that this was the best house he saw today.

The courtyard wall is not high and the gate is not very exquisite. It looks like the small courtyard house that Jiyuan remembers as exquisite as it is. There is a back door between the main house and the side house.

There is a well in the spacious yard, but it is covered with a large wooden lid. It should be that there is no need to put dust and fall leaves for a long time. There are also a few round stones pressed on it to prevent the lid from falling off.

There is also a big tree in the yard, and the branches and leaves sway in the wind, making a rustling sound. Perhaps because of the shade, it became a little colder in the yard.

"There are trees in the yard? What kind of trees are they?"

Ji Yuan suddenly asked the broker.

"Uh, you know there are trees?"

Ji Yuan smiled and pointed at his ear, then pointed his hand in the direction of the big tree.

"I have a sharp hearing, the tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop."

"Sir, that's a jujube tree, and it looks quite old."

Lu Chengfeng took the lead and answered respectfully.

"Yes, yes, it's a jujube tree. You can eat a lot of fresh and sweet dates after autumn!"

The broker said with a smile.

"Let's go, let's look outside the back door."

Sometimes brokers always forget that this gentleman is blind and recall this in some details.

Outside the back door, there was a wasteland full of overgrown weeds, and there were some abandoned vegetable fields and gourd racks. Obviously, it should be the place where the original owner grew some fruits and vegetables by himself.

However, the place is not small anymore. There is a fence that can be crossed by one foot on the outside, which is regarded as a boundary. When the broker explained these, Jiyuan even thought funnyly, would it be that if the fence expands outward, his land will be bigger?

Afterwards, the three of them went to see the main house and kitchen in the yard. The yard was not big. Although the house was covered with a layer of dust, it was generally considered to be a sound layout and elegant courtyard.

The furniture was almost emptied, with only the largest main room with a bed, a table, and two stools.

To be honest, even in the 21st century of the previous life, Jiyuan would be willing to live in such a place as long as there is a net and a little arrangement.

When I returned to the yard after a walk, Jiyuan never retreated with a smile.

"Hehehe, sir, are you satisfied? I knew sir must like this, and this house is cheap. You only need 36 taels of silver to buy it. Such a house has such a spacious place, which one can't sell 100 taels of silver!!"

"Hmm? That's so cheap?"

Ji Yuan was a little surprised. Of course he didn't know the housing prices here, but he would compare it. The small bungalows and soil courtyards before were all worth twenty or thirty taels.

This place is obviously different from the previous houses. It is definitely not an exaggeration to double it by one or two times. It is indeed cheaper to sell less than forty taels.

"Hehe, cough, sir, don't know..."

The broker was so clumsy about his writing, but he couldn't find the verbal remarks he would follow.

"Well, the original owner here has passed away long ago. The current house deeds belong to the government government, and the place is relatively biased... it has not been sold. The rich may not be worth it. Ordinary families can't afford thirty or forty taels. It's much more cost-effective to build a house by themselves, so it has never been sold here. The government government has not frequently reduced prices!"

"Oh!! Then if I want to buy it, I have to go to the county government in person?"

"Sir, are you going to buy it?"

The broker looked at Jiyuan in anticipation and asked.

"Why not buy such a cheap and elegant house? It's just a little dust, just clean it up!"

Jiyuan smiled and was in a good mood.

"Okay, sir, you really have a vision!! Why don't we go to the county government to get the house deed and land deed?"

The broker was obviously eager to get the hard-earned money. He could get a commission of nearly two taels for this business of more than 30 taels, which was not a small amount of money!

In fact, he has the same mentality as he wants. He always wants to get what he likes quickly. He couldn't afford a house in his previous life and could only envy him. He is still of the top grade in this life.

Lu Chengfeng, who was beside him, smiled.

"Sir, please go back to the inn to rest. Let Chengfeng go with him to the county government office to apply for the house deed!"

Yes, the young man has a future, Jiyuan is happy, it would be better if he doesn't have to run errands by himself.

"Okay, please come and take a trip to Mr. Lu."

"Mr. Ji, you are polite. Let's take you back to the inn first!"

The best way is the best! Jiyuan thinks that Lu Chengfeng's personality can be done well in the 21st century, which is called being good at thinking about problems from the perspective of others...

Half an hour later, in a room in the Ning'an County Government, the chief clerk below the county magistrate looked at Lu Chengfeng in surprise.

"Young Master Lu, do you really want to buy this house? Live by yourself? You don't seem to be from Ning'an, right?"

After asking this, the chief clerk looked at the broker surnamed Zhou, squinted his eyes and touched his beard, and the latter was a little guilty when he saw it.

"What? Lord Chief Regiment, is there something wrong with this house? Will it collapse or is there a dispute?"

The chief clerk looked at Lu Chengfeng again with such an expression.

"Young Master Lu, you are the benefactors of our Ning'an County. I can't lie to you. Let me tell you the truth. This house is solid and elegant, but the evaluation is not good because of the circulating in the market. The three owners of the house within 7 years either died of illness or had an accident. Especially the scholar was found to be shocked to death in the yard the year before. Since then, no one has ever cared about it at the small pavilion!"
