Tao Ya Ju. Not long after Wenya Xu Lan went out, Shi An also held a banner and went to the fortune telling street to set up a stall. Only Qing Yu Zhu Feng and Hong Tao were left in the courtyard.
Seeing that Hongtao didn't seem to have any intention of going out, Zhufeng was a little surprised, "You're not going out today?"
Hong Tao struggled to drag the ladder to the eaves and said, "I'll take a look first before talking."
Then he set up a ladder and climbed up to the roof. He looked around and found no obvious signs of death within a ten-mile radius. He then left the room, took a futon and went to meditate in the shade of a tree. However, he had no intention of going out.
Zhufeng finished applying the medicine on his forehead and feet, and when he had nothing to do, he sat up and meditated on the spot. Not long after he sat down, he heard "Second Senior Sister", he opened his eyes and looked over, Xin Dao Master
The junior sister finally came out of the room. She stood up and jumped towards the heart.
Qingyu also called him, and then walked to Hongtao, "I just got a divination of "volcanoes have a lot of things". It's a good time to go out today, you will gain a lot."
Hong Tao opened her eyes and was a little confused: "But I've seen it, and there's nothing dead. Did I miss it?" After saying that, she stood up to go to the roof again.
"There are other things." Qingyu looked at Zhufeng, and after telling Zhufeng her plan, she finally said: "I have a lot of money to bring with me. I have to go with the second senior sister. We will be back at noon. You and I are the only ones here, senior brother."
Is it possible to be at home?"
After hearing this, Zhufeng smiled and said, "Don't go back at noon. When you go out, turn right to that wonton shop. When you pass by it later, just ask him to bring me three taels of wontons at noon."
This is a good idea. Qingyu nodded and said, "Senior brother, you have to write a note to me."
Zhufeng thought for a moment and understood. Hearing this, Hongtao hurriedly ran into the house to get pen and paper.
A receipt was quickly written, Zhufeng signed and fingerprinted it, and then handed it to Qingyu. Qingyu and Hongtao then went out.
Passing by a wonton shop, Qingyu ordered three taels of wontons and asked the store owner to deliver them to Tao Yaju at noon. Then he left the wonton money and headed towards Jinchi Street with Hongtao. But he was looking for Qian Laoer.
However, Qian Laoer was not at home either. After asking around, they found Qian Laoer in front of a residence.
Qian Laoer was appraising a house, "...This is the ancestral house. It is more than twenty years old. The house is old. Although it is in the inner circle, it is far away from the market and the street, and it faces this direction.
It’s not due south, but the surrounding environment of the house is good. It’s worth three hundred and ten taels.”
The head of the house nodded and thanked him, and then said to Mr. Qian: "If anyone wants to buy a house, please ask Boss Qian to recommend it. Our master is anxious to sell this place."
Qian Laoer said hello and said goodbye to the head of the house. Then he turned around and saw two children in front of him looking at him. He stepped forward with some confusion, "Why are you two ladies here?" He is the daughter of the master of the Shan Pavilion.
Remember it clearly.
"We are coming to find you." Hong Tao said seriously: "Originally, my father and mother were supposed to come, but my mother couldn't escape in the mountain pavilion, my father had difficulty moving, and my brother also had something to go out, so my father and mother asked my sister and I to come.
Come."
"Oh? I wonder what the master of the pavilion wants from me?" Hearing that it was an adult's request, Qian Laoer became more serious and asked as he walked out of the alley.
Hong Tao and Qing Yu followed him. Hong Tao asked: "Do you have a pawnbroker at hand?"
"Pawn house? Do you want to pawn house?" Didn't you just buy a house? Isn't it enough to live in? Qian Laoer was surprised, "There are also mortgage houses."
"Mom and Dad want to mortgage a house. I heard that the price of mortgage is much cheaper. What is the approximate price?"
Qian Laoer said: "Basically between fifty and one hundred taels. Most of them are six to seventy taels. These are basically one year."
Hongtao looked at Qingyu, who nodded slightly, and then she said, "Are you free to take us to see it today? My father and mother said that we should be satisfied after seeing it, so we don't need to ask them anything."
Qian Laoer frowned suspiciously, "You guys can finalize it? Don't say that I fooled you two kids then." If he comes up with something to say in the future, and an adult says, "Children are not sensible," how can he reason with it?
.
Hongtao took out the prepared slip from her sleeve and said, "I knew you might have doubts, so I wrote a slip in advance, signed it and fingerprinted it. Take a look." He handed it to Qian Laoer.
Qian Laoer opened the receipt and looked at it. He exclaimed "good words" in his heart. He read the content carefully and found out that it indeed said that he would leave full authority over the property to his second daughter and his youngest daughter.
This is quite new and rare. The adults nearby are afraid that their children will get an extra copper coin. The children will always say "what do children know?". This family is really strange. They seem to trust their two children as adults.
However, now that he had the signed and hand-stamped receipt, Qian Laoer felt relieved. He took the receipt and asked, "What kind of house do you want to mortgage?"
"How many mortgage houses do you have on hand?" Hongtao asked.
Qian Laoer pondered and made a calculation, "There are not many houses for sale in the twenty or so places. Most of those who hold houses for sale do not want to sell their houses, but they are short of money.
Those homeowners who are not tight on money would rather rent out their houses so that they can make a profit, or just sell them directly."
A mortgage is a mutually beneficial transaction between the mortgage owner and the money owner.
The pawn owner is the homeowner. When they are in urgent need of money but are reluctant to sell their house, they will choose to pawn their house. They will pawn off the use rights of the house for one year or even many years in exchange for an emergency sum of money. When the redemption period is up,
If the money is returned to the owner in full, the house can be redeemed.
As for the money owner, if he wants a house but is reluctant to part with the money, he also chooses to pawn a house. He pays dozens or hundreds of taels of silver at a time in exchange for the right to use the house for one year and many years. When the redemption period is up, the owner will give the money as
If you pay back the money, you can return the house to the owner yourself. It can be said that you live in the house and you have no less money.
Based on this, all those who rent a house would rather mortgage the house. Of course, willingness and ability are two different things, not to mention the small number of mortgage houses. Secondly, to mortgage a house, you have to pay at least dozens of taels of silver at a time, and at least
The one-year redemption period is up before the money can be returned. Since everyone is renting a house, some of them have enough money.
Therefore, there are not many people who can actually mortgage a house.
But this obviously won't cause trouble to Qingyu's family. Hearing that there were about twenty places, Hongtao said with a smile: "That's enough. You can take us two sisters to see them. The bargain price will not exceed seventy taels."
Now that Qian Laoer had obtained the adult's letter, he became serious. Although he was very suspicious of the two children, he still had to show his own attitude.
Taking the two of them to a house on Taohua Street, he introduced:
"The houses on Taohua Street are not cheap. But they are expensive for a reason. The location, environment, and houses here are all impeccable. The only drawback is that they are expensive. It costs at least 400 taels to enter the courtyard here."
He patted the door of the courtyard, and soon a well-dressed middle-aged man opened the door. He was very happy to see Qian Laoer, said goodbye first, and then invited him into the courtyard.
Qian Laoer returned the greeting and saw that the owner was confused about the two children around him, so he didn't want to directly say that the two sisters were here to see the house. After all, he felt awkward with two children looking at the house.
"Boss Qian, can you find the owner of the money for me?" The owner of the house got straight to the point.
Qian Laoer nodded, "It may happen in the near future. Is your yard still unchanged?"
The owner of the house nodded, "Yes. One year."
Qian Laoer took Qingyu and Hongtao around the yard. Hongtao took the opportunity to look here and there, and finally said with satisfaction: "The feng shui here is pretty good."
Hearing this, the owner of the house thought that the two children were relatives of Qian Laoer, so he answered with a smile, "When I was buying a house, I looked at five or six houses with a Feng Shui master, and finally I chose this one."
"It's a pity that you are in conflict with this house. All your money has been lost during the years you have lived here." Hong Tao added.
Qian Laoer and the owner of the house were both at a standstill.
Qingyu reluctantly tugged on Hongtao's sleeve, signaling her to stop talking.
Qian Laoer chuckled and said, "Children's words are unbridled. Don't be offended."
Although the owner of the house was angry, but because of Qian Laoer's face, he could only smile and said, "It doesn't matter."
