Chapter 32 Buying Property

Of course Wei Chen could not fail to see Sheng Wei's intentions. On the contrary, he knew very well what Sheng Wei was thinking.

No, Wei Chen doesn't care about this.

In his plan, Sheng Wei is his chosen business agent, and the glycerin formula will be handed over to Sheng Wei sooner or later, but it just needs a step-by-step process.

This is not only the process of Wei Chen gaining status and strength through scientific examination, but also the process of Wei Chen and Sheng Wei constantly building trust through cooperation.

Wei Chen tacitly allowed Sheng Wei to put people in the glycerin workshop just to reassure Sheng Wei so that he could run the amber wine business without any scruples.

Of course, even if these sons of the Sheng family entered the workshop, they would just do odd jobs at first. Wei Chen would ask Wei Ruyi and Zhang Ming to prevent them from being exposed to the core craftsmanship.

However, every once in a while, some key points can be revealed intentionally or unintentionally to give Sheng Wei some sweetness.

Perhaps over the years, the Sheng family will be able to get a glimpse of the glycerin production method through the manpower deployed, and finally piece it together to restore the complete steps.

But by that time, Wei Chen had already passed through his weakest and powerless stage. With the qualification to talk to the Sheng family on an equal footing, Sheng Wei would surely make the wisest choice.

That's right, Wei Chen has decided that he will be a scumbag in the business world, and he will not stop until he makes Sheng Wei ecstasy.

Don't blame Wei Chen for doing this too much. He did it for Sheng Wei's good, so that Mr. Sheng wouldn't lose control of the temptation of the glycerin formula and go astray, causing everyone to break up.

Look how good it is now, Mr. Shanda has a happy smile on his face, and Wei Chen can have no worries and concentrate on the imperial examination. You are called a nephew, and I am called uncle. We are sincere and happy, isn't it beautiful?

After getting what he wanted, Sheng Wei waved his hand and ordered the steward to take two hundred taels of silver from the cabinet and hand it to Wei Chen, and made it clear that this was not a dividend, but a small gift from his uncle to his great nephew.

Wei Chen naturally thanked his uncle immediately and then happily accepted it.

In the provincial capital, the amber wine business has just started, and Sheng Wei can't leave for even a moment. Wei Chen also has to go back to Youyang to report to Lin Yan, and continue to study hard to prepare for the upcoming county examination.

So Sheng Wei sent people to the Qinhuai River and rented a small boat for Wei Chen. On the dock, the uncle and nephew said goodbye.

After Wei Chen returned to the ferry outside Youyang County by boat, he did not go directly back to Yixue. Instead, he went to Wuquan Winery not far outside the city.

When he arrived at the winery, Wei Chen found Wei Ruyi and Zhang Ming, explained his arrangements to them, and taught them step by step how to trick the Sheng family with little sweet treats after they entered the winery, making them want to stop.

Zhang Ming is tall and thick, and he looks like a straight man, so he is suitable to be the person who carelessly leaks secrets.

Wei Ruyi was cautious and attentive, so Wei Chen assigned her to control the rhythm of the secrets gradually being revealed.

The couple had no objection to Wei Chen's arrangement. They had already discussed it before coming to the winery. Wei Chen made all the decisions in the winery, and they only needed to help.

Seeing that Wei Ruyi and Zhang Ming understood what he meant, Wei Chen nodded with satisfaction and brought up another matter that came here.

"Aunt, uncle, why don't we just buy a place to live in the city!"

"Brother Chen, are you planning to buy real estate in the county?"

Wei Ruyi and Zhang Ming both looked surprised.

Wei Chen nodded and said: "Aunt, uncle, you are all working in the wine shop now, and you can only go home occasionally. A Xu is left alone at home. I really can't worry about it. Why don't I buy a place in the city and put A Xu in the house?"

Xu took me to live with him.

Besides, I want to study and gain fame, so the most important thing is to make friends. There are many famous teachers and scholars in the city. If you socialize with them, you will advance in learning quickly. Boarding school is inconvenient, so it is better to have a place of your own."

Initially, Wei Ruyi and Zhang Ming wanted to object, but when they heard that Wei Chen's study would be beneficial, the couple immediately swayed.

Zhang Ming laughed and said: "Brother Chen is right. After buying a house, we will be considered city dwellers in the future!"

Wei Ruyi glared at him, but didn't say much, so she acquiesced.

So Wei Chen and his wife went to Youyang County together and found a Fang Ya, which was the real estate agency in later generations.

After asking about the purpose of Wei Chen and others' visit, Yazi took out a simple map of the county and spread it on the table. He introduced the three of them: "We have a saying in Youyang County: officials live in the north of the city, nobles live in the west, and nobles live in the south.

Living in public housing and poor living in the east of the city, I wonder which one do you prefer?"

Wei Chen said without thinking: "Let's go to the north of the city."

"The north of the city is great!"

Yazi's face was filled with joy, and he immediately cheered up, pointing to a place on the map and exultingly saying: "This turned out to be the residence of a great master, with three courtyards, courtyards, shops, and a two-story building. It has everything you need!"

Yazi talked so much that he was spitting, but Zhang Ming and Wei Ruyi became more and more sad as they listened. How much money would it cost to buy such a nice yard?

Wei Ruyi on the side frequently winked at Wei Chen. Zhang Ming also tugged on the corner of Wei Chen's clothes and whispered: "There are four people in our family and we can't live in such a big house. Why don't we look at the one in the east of the city?"

, I think the east side of the city is pretty good too."

Wei Chen thought about it and felt that what Zhang Ming said made sense.

Although it is not difficult for me to buy a three-bedroom house with two hundred taels of silver, it is not necessarily a good thing if the yard is too large and spacious. Living comfortably is the most important thing.

He immediately said to Yazi: "Then let's take a look at the east side of the city."

When Na Yazi heard that Wei Chen said he wanted to see Chengdong, he was inevitably a little disappointed, but he didn't look down on others because of this, and his professional smile soon returned to his face.

He flipped through the book in his hand and said enthusiastically: "The east part of the city is also very good. There are just a few that are suitable for you. I will take you to see them now."

The few of them chatted all the way to their destination and looked at several houses. Wei Chen was not very satisfied.

Na Yazi also saw that neither Zhang Ming nor Wei Ruyi was the one who made the decision, only the teenage boy in front of him was the one who really took charge.

Then he led the three people to a place, pointed to the door and asked, "What do you think of this place, little official?"

Wei Chen raised his head and glanced at the white-walled and gray-tiled building in front of him. He didn't say he was satisfied, nor did he say he couldn't do it. He smiled and said, "Let's take a look and then talk."

"Okay, I'll take you guys in to have a look!"

Yazi responded and led the three of them into the door.

Entering the door is the screen wall, and past the screen wall is the front yard. In the front yard, there is an inverted seat built next to the alley outside, with front compartments on the left and right, corridors built, and a cluster of green bamboos in the middle.

After passing the front yard gate, there is a rectangular patio, and behind it is the backyard.

There is a living room and two rooms to the west of the backyard, a small building to the north, and several potted plants in front of the building. To the south is the kitchen, which looks quite simple.

Wei Ruyi and Zhang Ming were very satisfied with the house, but they didn't show it, they just kept winking at Wei Chen.

Don't pick any more, this is it!

Before Wei Chen spoke, Wei Ruyi couldn't wait any longer. She cleared her throat and said, "This house does not face south, which is not beautiful."

Wei Chen felt happy, his aunt was about to start bargaining!

Yazi glanced at Wei Chen and said with an apologetic smile: "Madam, the alley outside here runs north-south, so the door can only be opened this way. If it were opened north-south, the door would hit the wall of someone else's house.



After Wei Ruyi finished criticizing, Zhang Ming also came out to help: "The alley outside is too narrow. It's not as wide as my shoulders. It's bad."

Yazi glanced at Zhang Ming, who was hunched over, and smiled helplessly. He had no choice but to look at Wei Chen. Wei Chen introduced him to Yazi with a smile: "This is my aunt, and this is my uncle. I am just a junior, and everything is left up to the two elders."

Call the shots.”

In this way, Wei Ruyi and Zhang Ming played the bad side, while Wei Chen played the bad side, and they haggled hard. Finally, they agreed on the terms of the agreement, buying the house for fifty taels of silver, and giving Ya Zi another one tael as an intermediary fee.

The next day, with the deed and money in one hand, Wei Chen officially became a homeowner in Youyang County.
