Chapter 2000 Buying a House
The less one house is sold, the less the middleman's money will be received. Therefore, Duke Qi Zhen said that Mengyu was causing trouble.
Mengyu smiled: "The town official obviously sympathizes with her, I am doing a good deed for you."
Qi Zhengong smiled bitterly: "That's all for you, let's move on to the next family."
The next house is the second courtyard, which is extended longitudinally on the basis of the first courtyard. A partition wall is added at the south gable of the wing room to distinguish the inner courtyard and the outer courtyard; the partition wall and the main house, and the east and west wing rooms form an inner courtyard, dividing the courtyard.
The wall, the inverted room on the south side and the screen doors on both sides form an outer courtyard.
However, this outer courtyard has a small house on the east and west sides. It has two more small rooms than the ordinary outer courtyard, so the outer courtyard is also spacious.
Moreover, this house has many rooms in the second courtyard. The main room has three light rooms and two dark rooms. There are also three east and west rooms in the wing room. The south room has four reverse seats and a door. There is also a storage room next to the door and two small rooms in the east and west.
But it cannot be counted as a room, it can only be used to store some things.
Therefore, this courtyard has a total of sixteen rooms, large and small.
Now there are only two people, Mengyu, so this courtyard is naturally too big, but considering that after giving birth to a child, there will be four owners, plus servants to take care of the children, this courtyard is really suitable.
Although it is two streets away from the main street, it is not far away. It is convenient to go shopping and there is no noise on the street.
The best thing is that behind this yard, there is a garden of more than 100 square meters, where you can grow some vegetables and be self-sufficient.
What makes Mengyu even more satisfied is that the back door of this courtyard usually faces East Street, but the front door faces a Qingshui River, which is still more than 300 meters away.
In other words, their house is actually a water view house.
Mengyu is very satisfied with this yard.
"How much money does this yard cost?" Mengyu asked.
Qi Zhengong had long seen that the two of them were satisfied with the yard and said: "The seller asked for two hundred taels of silver."
Mengyu shouted: "Zhen Gong, didn't you hear that our medicinal materials were sold for two hundred taels, so you just said they were sold for two hundred taels?"
Qi Zhengong couldn't laugh or cry: "The other party really asked for two hundred taels of silver. However, this yard seller has moved to the provincial capital and handed over the house to me. Although the price is two hundred, it should not be less than one hundred and eighty.
Two pieces of silver."
Mengyu looked at Zhen Gong's expression and found it difficult to calm down.
Besides, she still remembered Shopkeeper Zhou saying that she would have nothing left after buying the house with these two hundred taels of silver. Presumably, the one hundred and eighty taels of silver was not too expensive.
Therefore, she looked at Gu Dongxing.
Gu Dongxing looked at her fondly: "You can make the decision on this kind of thing."
Qi Zhengong looked at him in surprise. It was true that women were in charge of household affairs, but the important matter of buying a house was actually left to women. Although the town regulations said that women and children were protected, there was no need to be henpecked, right?
But he couldn't care about this kind of thing. After determining the price, Qi Zhengong took out the contract and found out that the price had already been set in the other party's contract. Even if she wanted to say it, she probably couldn't go on. So she simply went and let it go.
Gu Dongxing signed and sealed the house and bought the second-indoor courtyard building.
Mengyu was so generous that she gave Qi Zhengong five taels of silver as handling fees and tips. In this way, Qi Zhengong earned ten taels of silver from Mengyu.
When Qi Zhengong asked whose name the house was in, Gu Dongxing said naturally: "Let it be in the name of my wife."
Duke Qi Zhen was surprised, but he still went by what Zhao Dongxing said and settled it under Mengyu's name.
