207 Buying a House 1
He also said, "Also, the people in the big house always thought that the three thousand taels of silver were still in our hands, and they kept looking for various excuses to borrow money from us. This time we changed to the big house, and in the future we also had excuses to say that the money was gone."
Her family has been hiding the fact that she has been staked in the Chu family's sea boat, and no one has told her. The whole family and Chu Li Suxin and others know it, and they are also wary of the trouble that the big house will cause when they find out.
You know, if you have a stake in a sea boat, you can earn money and profit several times more than opening a shop. Xi Tonglin is not a fool. Is there such a broad way of wealth that I can't go?
At that time, if you get pestered, you will be able to have a drink for the second bedroom.
With Xi Feng's instigation, thinking about his eldest son's body again, Xi Tongfang gritted his teeth and agreed to borrow the 8,000 taels of silver.
The next day, Xi Tongfang did not go to the workshop, so he went to find the house first, and then Fang Yi led him to see several houses. In the evening, when the family was having dinner, Xi Tongfang said, "I saw four buildings in total, three buildings and three houses, one building and four houses, two yards, one building and two yards, and four yards, and six yards. These four houses are big, with a large garden and a large small yard, and the price is not cheap. It costs 13,000 silver. The two houses with small yards, one building costs 6,800 taels, and one building costs 7,600 taels, and the remaining one has no small yard, which is cheaper, and it costs only 4,500 taels."
The large houses with three-entry entrances cover a wide area, horse wings, carriages, etc. are equipped. Some have also dug lotus ponds and even lakes, which are much more expensive than the second house. At that time, the second house of the Xi family spent only 1,600 taels of silver to buy the house. The third house is more than half the price than the second house, and some have a small yard.
Ruan was so stupid when she heard this, "Why is it so expensive? Then let's buy a cheap one. It doesn't matter if there is no small courtyard. As long as the family can live in it."
Xi Tongfang did not agree with his wife's idea. He said, "A Xiu, A Feng is old and can't live in the same yard with us. When A Ming and Ayun grow up, they will have to marry a wife and have children. They can't just squeeze into the inner yard to live."
The third-entry house without a small yard is actually not big. The back cover room is for the servants and is not suitable for the master. The downed room is for the young men who have not married, or used as a study room, but the second-entry yard is for the masters.
But the second entry was only three main rooms, two wing rooms from east to west. After Xi Mingxiyun got married, these rooms were not enough to live in.
Moreover, there is no small yard. When the sons grow up and marry their wives, they can't live in the same yard.
Too inconvenient.
He could not let his wife accompany him to live in the downed room, nor could he let his daughter live in the back room where the maids and the mothers live. The house without a small yard was not suitable for his family at all. After Xi Tongfang saw it, he directly removed the house.
Xi Tongfang said, "Since we want to change the big house, we have to change the place to live. I think we have enough money. I think that house with three small courtyards is just right for our family."
A Feng and A Ming are old and just stay in the yard, which is private, especially A Feng and the lady in the boudoir can no longer live in the same yard with her parents and brothers.
