Not wanting to continue this topic with Jian Qu, the wild Taoist asked directly: "Mr. Jian, have you bought the house on Taohua Lane?"
"I'm about to report to the young master." Jian Qu smiled again and bowed: "Young master, fortunately, I have lived up to my fate and successfully bought the house in Taohua Lane and transferred the ownership. It cost 850 taels of silver.
If you are in a hurry, you can check in now!”
"Okay!" Su Ziji nodded and praised: "I know that Mr. Jian will not miss when he takes action."
This is why he asked Jian Qu to do this.
The reason why Jian Qu can immediately integrate into it and get into the role quickly is also because Jian Qu is Qian Zhidong's most relied-upon staff, so it is easier to handle these matters.
Don't think that this kind of auction of the criminal's property will be successful if you get money. The water is quite deep. If you are not careful, you may be intercepted if you fancy the property.
After entering the courtyard and talking about this matter to Ye Buhui, she was immediately pleasantly surprised.
Su Ziji never talked to Ye Buhui about the internal struggles in the southwest. When he came back, he only talked about some external affairs, such as rescuing the imperial envoys and encircling and suppressing the cavalry.
The intrigues and deceptions and life hanging by a thread are over. Talking to Ye Buhui is just one more person sad.
As for the agreement with Qian Zhidong at sea, Su Ziji also did not mention it.
Therefore, for Ye Buhui, the sudden purchase of a courtyard by her husband was a real surprise.
There are not many people who don’t want to have a small home that belongs entirely to them. Although this is not Guangling Province, let alone Linhua County, and the time in the capital is still short, when Su Ziji becomes an official in the capital, life here will inevitably become
My second home for a long time.
Having a house of your own means you have a lot less worry.
"Husband, you have been hiding this from me, and you only told me now after you bought it?" Ye Buhui looked coquettish, but in fact he was extremely excited.
Seeing that this girl was probably planning how to decorate the house, Su Ziji smiled: "It's my fault that I kept it from you! I was also afraid that I wouldn't be able to buy this courtyard, so I told you in advance. If it didn't work, I would
It makes you sad instead."
As he said that, he told the story that this house was one of the properties of Qian Zhidong, the former Southwest Marshal.
"This house is in a good location. Although it's not in a prosperous area, it's still in the city. It's surrounded by the residences of big families and middle- and low-ranking officials. It's not like the rich and powerful come and go, but it's not noisy either. It's very suitable for where we live now."
"When the time comes, there will be a guest room, and a chess room with a single door will be set up for you. Your chess records can be kept well to prevent them from being piled in a box and getting damp."
"Especially after you move, you can make some friends. When you live here, you have always been shut in. When I'm not around, there aren't even many people with whom you can talk and talk. It won't be good if you stay like this for a long time."
Su Ziji was talking about his thoughts about the house when he was suddenly thrown into his arms by a limp body.
After a moment, she let go of her arms, took two steps back, and raised her head. The circles under her eyes were slightly red on her beautiful face, and the tip of her nose was also a little red.
She looked away embarrassed, but quickly returned her gaze to his face.
"Actually, I am very lucky to be married to you..." She said awkwardly: "You are so good to me, but I...I am not good enough..."
In terms of beauty, she was just pretty at most, and in terms of talent, she only had some achievements in chess. Seeing Su Ziji becoming more and more like a man of heaven, and mastering everything in literature, Tao, and martial arts, she felt a little sad.
Seeing her lowering her head, Su Ziji actually showed a hint of inferiority. He raised her face with his hands, asked her to look into his eyes, and said seriously: "Do you still remember what I said last time?"
"A deep love will last forever, and wisdom will be damaged. I don't want there to be many twists and turns between you and me to show our deep love. I only want to hold your hand and grow old with you."
"You are good enough, just keep being yourself."
"If you really love me, you will dominate me as a matter of course."
"Yeah!" Su Ziji became more and more outstanding, but some uneasiness, although it didn't disappear under his serious gaze, Ye Buhui still nodded seriously, feeling a little embarrassed again.
"Chirp!" The little fox jumped between the two of them, pushing with both paws in protest.
"Xiaobai, are you jealous too? If you become a spirit, I will make you my second wife." Ye Buhui was a little embarrassed at first, but he took the opportunity to make fun of him, hugged the little fox and got into the oxcart.
"Hey, you can't say this casually..." Su Ziji was only halfway through when he saw that they had already boarded the oxcart, so he had to stop talking, turned around and ordered: "Go to Peach Blossom Lane now!"
The oxcart went to Peach Blossom Alley, and it took about a moment to arrive. It was almost dusk at this time. At a glance, under the setting sun, there were many hotels and pavilions, and the lights were gradually burning all over the streets.
There is a Taoist temple connected here, and there is a flower market to the north.
“Not bad, quiet in the middle of the hustle and bustle, good place to stay.”
I took the key and opened the door. The courtyard of this house is not big. There are lanterns hanging in the main room, and the corridor connects two rows of side rooms. Although there are only two entrances, the rooms are more than enough to accommodate a dozen people.
Ye Buhui turned around and saw that the window paper was not broken and the vermilion paint on the pillars was not peeling off, but was just a little old. He was very happy. Seeing that she liked it, Su Ziji said: "This place is good, we can do it today."
Moved."
"If you don't regret it, you can go back and transport our things over."
"Mr. Jian, help me deal with the affairs of the Jushi Garden, and buy some furniture along the way."
Because he had to hire someone to pack and move things over, and he had to talk to the people over there about it, Su Ziji made an excuse and left Jian Qu.
"Don't worry, there's still some time until dark. Leave these to me and we'll be able to move them in in an hour!" Jian Qu said, and left with Ye Buhui.
"Let's go, it's our turn to work." Su Ziji asked the Taoist to find tools. No outsiders were needed. The master and servant closed the door and went to the old poplar tree ten steps away from the well.
Just looking at it with his eyes, he couldn't tell that there was anything special about the poplar trees, and the nearby soil was normal. Su Ziji didn't let the wounded wild man do anything, and dug with his hoe for a while, and then there was a clanking sound, and he hit something.
Then I dug carefully, and a large vat that was not deep was exposed.
"Lord, there are gold bars in the jar!" Although his left hand was injured, it didn't stop the wild man from being the first to go over and check. As soon as he opened it, he was immediately surprised to find what was hidden inside.
Under the setting sun, at a glance, the jar was filled with privately cast gold bars. Each bar was carefully wrapped in mulberry paper. Once it was torn open, it shone with golden light.
The two men brought up the gold bars and put them on the table. After a rough calculation, they knew that these gold bars were at least one thousand taels.
One thousand taels of gold, almost ten thousand taels of silver, which is a lot of money.
Su Ziji thought for a moment and filled the jar with soil again.
Looking at the gold bars placed on the wooden table in the courtyard, Su Ziji said to the wild Taoist: "These should be converted into banknotes immediately, and do not store them in a bank."
