After all, this is Pingyang County. At this time, the stalls on both sides of the road are still busy, and it is very lively.
The carriage passed through two streets, and the bustle decreased, then went further and further away, and finally became quiet.
Cheng Xue became "impatient" and complained softly to Li Hui:
"How close is it? It's two streets away."
Yang Yiyi chuckled "Haha..." and responded:
"The alley ahead is at the end. Madam Li, have you seen those spires? That is the Gongyuan in our county, it must be close."
"That's the only advantage." Cheng Xue spared no effort to "complain".
She is not a pretentious person who has many things to do, but she saves money when she can. Money does not come with strong winds.
Finally, the carriage stopped, and Yang Yaqi went to open the courtyard door. After Li Hui got off the car, he helped Cheng Xue and held her hand into the courtyard.
The yard is not big but it is square and square. The walls on both sides are made of red bricks and are higher than a normal person's height, so the privacy is better than in the village. The ground is paved with bluestone slabs, and there are drainage ditches dug on the east and west sides to protect the yard from heavy rain.
Will not retain water.
There are three rooms facing south, with red bricks and blue tiles. The window frames are painted very new, they should have been painted not long ago
"We have tidied up the courtyard after we took it over. Madam Li, look, is this small courtyard in good order? As the saying goes, 'The sky is round and the place is square', the square shape means that the people living in the house are all in good order.
The eldest son of the original owner won the Jinshi Scholarship last year, and this year his parents took their family and went there to seek refuge. The house was in a hurry to be sold, if they thought the price would be cheaper."
Cheng Xue pretended to be uninterested, but Li Hui was still extremely excited.
"Daughter-in-law, I think this yard is nice. Let's go in and take a look."
"Yes, yes, come in and see. Come in and see."
As Yang Yaosi spoke, he opened the door to the main room, and what came into view was the kitchen in the outhouse.
There are a row of cabinets, shelves, and two water jars against the wall on the east side, which are pretty good and can be used directly. On the west side, next to the back room, there are two stoves, a large pot, and a frying spoon.
The floor is paved with red bricks, and the walls of the house are also well maintained. It can be seen that the original owner was very clean.
As 俞婩 said, the house is very big, and the fire pit in the back room is almost as big as the one in the east room at home. You must know that this is Pingyang County, not only every inch of land is valuable, but every inch of land is worth every inch of copper.
"There were many people in the original house, so the kang was not small. The two houses next door are like this, and the furniture is exactly the same." Yang Yi 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 buying them. You can just live in them. Shall we go to the two houses next door to take a look?"
Li Hui nodded and said "Okay" and dragged the "reluctant" Cheng Xue to the next door.
When Yang Yiyi saw this situation, he immediately understood that there was no chance again.
If he hadn't seen the few banknotes that Li Hui brought to Lu Yin, he wouldn't have bothered like this and paid for lunch out of his own pocket. If this didn't work...
No, it must be successful, otherwise you will have to 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 oil paper on the windows is obviously new this year, which can save a lot.
"Daughter-in-law, I think this place is nice. The courtyard is clean and well-furnished. I just need to bring some dishes, chopsticks and quilts."
"What's the use of everything? We won't live here forever." Cheng Xue still "won't let go."
Li Hui winked at Yang Yi, pulled Cheng Xue aside and whispered:
"Daughter-in-law, Brother Yang will spend a day with me to look at it. It's hard work but no credit. I think this house is good. Why don't we buy this house? We only have five days in Luyin, and we've been here for two days."
"What are you afraid of? Lu Yin will be fine one day early and one day late. We will see tomorrow."
"But I don't want to see my wife. You are not in good health, and I am worried that you will be exhausted. That's it. Let Brother Yang give you the lowest price, okay?"
Cheng Xue sighed "reluctantly", threw away his hand and said:
"One hundred and eighty, if it works, buy it. If it doesn't, forget it."
"Hey Madam Li, you can't sell this house for one hundred and eighty taels. The lowest price is two hundred taels of silver. Do you need me to tell you the price of the furniture, yard, and bluestone slabs? And the paint on the window frames and cabinets were all newly painted this year.
, One hundred and eighty is really not possible."
Yang Youyi was about to cry. I have never seen anyone bargaining like this when buying a house.
Today I not only opened my eyes to men, but also gained a new understanding of bargaining with women.
"Yes, wife, one hundred and eighty is a bit too much."
"Where are you from? Are you short-sighted?"
"I don't have a wife, but one hundred and eighty is really too much!" Li Hui looked aggrieved.
Cheng Xue glared at him "angrily" and said, "I hate that iron cannot become steel":
"Are you stupid? Although the house is far away from the main street, it is next to Gongyuan and has a Jinshi. How can it be so cheap! You... oh, be smarter!"
Yang Yiyi's eyes widened when he heard this, and he hurriedly shook his head in defense:
"Ms. Li, please don't listen to other people's nonsense. This daughter-in-law, Xiaoyue, won the Jinshi before the boss. If there is really something wrong with the house, he can win the Jinshi."
Cheng Xue just said it casually, but she didn't expect that such a thing would actually happen.
I’ve already bought a dog, so what’s the point of worrying about a house? I just want to save some money.
"Since you are so honest, two hundred is fine, but we won't pay the red deed money."
Yang Yiyi knew that this was the only way to go, so he nodded heavily and agreed.
When he was about to leave by car, the woman next door happened to come out. When she saw Yang Yaosi, she looked wary and asked:
"Who sold the house? Where did it come from? Are you sure?"
Yang Yiyi was already angry, but after hearing her tone, she didn't answer all questions as usual.
The woman was unhappy and reminded her angrily:
"If you don't have a good character in this house, don't buy it. It's easy..."
"Sister-in-law Zhang, be careful!" Yang Yayi scolded and interrupted, "According to Liangyan law, you will be whipped for thirty years if you interfere with your business. I think you are a woman and I won't argue with you, but if you push your limits, don't blame me for being rude.
”
"What, you hit me? Come on, hit, hit, hit here..."
Sister-in-law Zhang moved forward as she spoke. Yang Yaqi had studied for a few days, so naturally he could not be as knowledgeable as an ignorant woman.
Cheng Xue, on the other hand, is the most disgusted with such a talkative woman.
Pushing Yi Yi away, he stood up and said:
"How kind-hearted can you be? If you were really reminding us, you should have said it when you saw our couple just now, instead of waiting until people ignored you before speaking. The old man often said, 'Those who owe money will be punished by having their tongues pulled out.'
You should pay more attention."
"You——"
"Child, get the hell back here, the dog has peed."
Mrs. Zhang was humiliated by the men, but it was obvious that she was afraid of the men, so she went back dejectedly.
Yang Yaosi did not expect Cheng Xue to be able to help, and his impression of her changed a lot.
Returning to Yahang, Yang Yang held his head high and held his chest high, which was obviously different from the previous time in Yahang.
Under Li Hui's strong insistence, the name on the paper was written "Yu Xue", the money was paid, and fingerprints were pressed, and Yang Minqi took it to the steward to have it stamped.
The people on the side walked away, smacking their lips and saying:
