"I'm afraid that my mother won't be able to leave the village. After all, she is used to living there. Besides, I can't afford a house in the capital." Sun Xian also became worried when he talked about this.
In the past few years, his family had saved nearly a thousand taels of silver by relying on Gu Chengyu selling pickles. If this money were in the village, he would be considered a small landowner, but in the capital, it would not be enough. Houses in the capital are extremely valuable.
very!
Sun Xian was a filial son, Gu Chengyu knew it before. It was also because he failed to consider it before. He did not consider what would happen to Sun Xian in the future.
Of course, this does not mean that filial piety is not good, but if Sun Xian is not at home all year round, and her mother-in-law refuses to leave the village, then Gu Wan has no reason to follow Sun Xian to the capital. After all, it is impossible to leave her mother-in-law at home alone.
Now it's just that if Sun Xian passes the Jinshi examination, becomes an official, and wants to go home, he can only wait for the vacation assigned by his superiors.
At this point, he can only take one step at a time. It is the best way for Sun Mu to go to Beijing with him. He believes that Sun Mu, a lonely widow, must want to live with his son. After all, the two have been dependent on each other for many years. However,
The words still need to be expressed well.
"Brother Sun, it stands to reason that I am just a brother-in-law, and I cannot interfere in your family affairs. But my second sister is not married yet, so as a younger brother, I still have to intervene."
Gu Chengyu stated all his considerations one by one. It is not a long-term solution for the couple to be separated for a long time. Besides, there is also the matter of the child to consider. If the two are not together, then where will he get his little nephew?
Gu Chengyu talked about this and made Sun Xian blush. He was not as well-informed as Gu Chengyu, he was thin-skinned!
Once Sun Xian was reminded, he took it seriously and promised again and again that he would definitely let his mother come to Beijing with him. He just wanted to buy the house himself. If he didn't have enough money, he would let Gu Chengyu borrow some first and he would pay it back slowly.
At this point, the two reached an agreement, and Gu Chengyu felt relieved. He was afraid that Sun Xian would hold him back. As for Sun Xian, if Sun Xian was willing to go to Beijing, it would be a hassle-free thing. If not, he would also think of ways to let Sun Xian go to Beijing.
She agreed.
In the evening, Gu Chengyu came back from the Yin Mansion and called Gu Wanqian and Yu Pengzi, and gave some instructions on some matters in the capital, asking them to take care of the affairs of the restaurant and Yipinzhai while he was away. If anyone wanted to cause trouble,
Just go find his senior brother.
As for Zhuangzi and Zhaizi, Gu Chengyu will only have an answer tomorrow.
The next day, Ming Mo and Ming Yan were packing their luggage. They had more luggage to go back than when they came because Gu Chengyu also bought some specialties from the capital and a dowry for Gu Wan.
"Uncle! That Jiang Yazi is here! He said that the price has been negotiated and I will send you a message! Also, here are the account books of the restaurant and Yipinzhai from yesterday, please take a look!"
The mistress had already been sent to learn calligraphy, and the paralytic Yu was also very busy. He also had to take care of the servants of the D generation. Therefore, Gu Wanqian only responded.
Gu Chengyu asked to see the account books. After all, the restaurant and Yipinzhai just opened yesterday. He wanted to see the profit on the first day in order to know the approximate income of the restaurant for a year.
"Let him come in and answer!" Gu Chengyu took the account book and read it in detail.
I first looked at Yipinzhai and found that it is worthy of being in the capital. The profit in one day is more than three times that of the shops in Fucheng. Not to mention the restaurants, the profit is several times that of Fucheng.
"I have met Master Gu!" As soon as Jiang Yazi entered the room, he saw Gu Chengyu holding the account book and checking the accounts seriously!
He only found out after asking around yesterday that this was Gu Jieyuan, who was famous in the capital.
The youngest Juren in the Dayan Dynasty and currently recognized as the most talented Juren.
"No need to be polite! I'm leaving for my hometown today, and you must know that. I don't have time to bargain. If your price doesn't satisfy me, I won't buy it."
Yesterday, Yu Banzi went to see the fields. Both the hot spring village and the house were good. Even Yu Banzi felt lucky to meet these two hot spring villages.
Yu Pengzi has been running around for Gu Chengyu in the past few years, and his vision has long been different from before. But there are only a few hot spring resorts, so it is difficult to encounter them. Besides, this time, they met two people at once, how can he not be excited?
Even if the two Zhuangzi are not close to each other, they are still two opposite sides, otherwise they would be even more perfect.
"Look what you said, if I can't negotiate a high price, I'd be too embarrassed to bother you!"
Jiang Yazi had a smile on his face and was obedient. However, Gu Chengyu heard something fishy in his words. Was he missing a lot of money?
Gu Chengyu raised his eyebrows, "Oh? Then tell me the price."
"The lowest price I gave you before was 12,500 taels for the big one, 8,400 taels for the small one, and 1,800 taels for the house. Do you think so?"
Gu Chengyu nodded, that was indeed what we talked about before, there was nothing wrong with it!
"You were indeed too expensive before. The villages in the hot springs cannot all be fertile farmland. I heard from my manager that there is a small forest inside, which occupies more than 300 acres. There are dozens of acres adjacent to the hot springs that cannot be planted.
Didn’t you lose a lot of food?”
Gu Chengyu has calculated that good land in the capital is of course more expensive, about ten taels of silver per acre, but now about 400 acres cannot be used to grow crops. The big farm is worth more than 11,000 at most, and the small one is worth
Similar to the big one, it should only be worth about 7,000 taels.
As for the house, it is even cheaper. How big can the house be when you first move in? One thousand, two hundred taels is about the same.
Of course, this is the estimated price based on Jiang Yazi's negotiation. If he had made a counter-offer himself, it would only be less by about 1,500 taels at most.
"That was decided by the master. Didn't I come up with some ideas for you? A big village has a forest so you can have game! Besides, no matter how big or small the village is, there are several houses built near the hot springs! The big village has many houses.
, that house is almost as good as the small courtyard. The decoration inside is even more magnificent. You will definitely make a profit by buying it. The big one is ten thousand, and the small one is seven thousand. You can buy that house for ten thousand.
,How is it? Are you satisfied?"
Jiang Yazi was very confident about the price. He had to find a lot of connections to get this done, and the money he gave away in the process was over a hundred taels.
People also rely on these to make a living. If you don't give money, who will give you such a big favor? In fact, the most important thing is that the owner is waiting for a quick sale, otherwise you won't be able to take advantage of it.
Gu Chengyu was really surprised this time. It seemed that Jiang Yazi really had some connections! The price was lower than what he thought! Of course he knew that the small courtyard in Zhuangzi was well built. When Yu Panzi came back,
But the villa is very exquisite! The villa is built around the hot springs just for soaking in the hot springs.
Gu Chengyu was a little curious, who was so anxious to sell? The price was really low.
"I have a question, who is going to sell Zhuangzi? I have to find out this clearly, otherwise what will happen if there is trouble in the future?"
"You still don't believe me? Our dental shop is famous in the capital, so you can rest assured about our integrity!"
Jiang Yazi immediately patted his chest and assured that what he said was not a lie, and there were people behind his dental shop.
"However, it's okay to give you some information. I can't say who it is. It's just that a wealthy family lost money in business, so they are eager to collect money. However, this business is a bit shady, so we can't talk about it here.
