In the eyes of many people from the Taoist sect, Qi Xuansu is already the fourth best figure in the Taoist sect and one of the candidates for the future deputy headmaster Da Zhenren. What is this outstanding Taoist sect handsome man doing?
Of course, I am not worrying about national affairs, nor am I concerned about the overall situation of the world, but I am worrying about my own life-long affairs.
To be more specific, it’s about buying a house.
To start a family, to start a family, you must have a family.
Home is not only a person, but also a more specific house.
From this, a very clear logical chain is derived, that is, buy a house first before getting married.
Qi Xuansu owns a house, which is located in Haichanfang's old residence. It's not that Zhang Yuelu dislikes poverty and loves wealth. The key to getting married is not a matter of two people, but a matter of two families. In front of the Zhang family, it is really a bit difficult to deal with.
What's more, they all say that a newlywed is like a newlywed, so the house is naturally a new one, and an old house is not suitable.
Although strictly speaking, the houses in Yujing have a history of hundreds of years, and even the chief master and deputy master actually live in old houses that others have already lived in, but in most people's perception, newly bought
It's just new, maybe it will need to be refurbished.
Ever since, this question was really put in front of Qi Xuansu.
Qi Xuansu's current income is quite high, with an income of about 10,000 Taiping dollars a year. In the past, he would not have dared to think about it. You must know that he only spent 200 Taiping dollars when he followed Sun Yongfeng's path.
But even so, buying a house in Yujing is not an easy task.
Yujing is no different from other places. It is the ancestral home of the Taoist sect. Generally speaking, no one can really buy a house in Yujing. This is because nominally, all the houses and palaces in the entire Yujing are owned by the Taoist sect, and Tianji Hall among the nine halls is responsible for it.
This is somewhat similar to the "one field and two owners" in the secular world. A piece of land can be divided into the bottom and the surface. The bottom and the surface are held by two people respectively. The bottom and the surface are two parts that do not interfere with each other and can be bought and sold at will.
Pawn, gift.
The holder of the field cannot farm and can only collect rent. If he wants to farm it himself, he must buy back the field surface from others. The holder of the field surface can farm but has to pay rent. At the same time, he can buy, sell and sell the field surface at will, even on the field surface.
When a house is built or a tomb is built, the land holder has no right to interfere. If the land holder owes rent, the land holder can find ways to collect the debt and use other things to pay off the debt, but he cannot evict the person from the land unless the land owner
The holder sells the land himself, which is one land and two owners.
In the same way, the residents of Yujing do not have ownership of their houses, including Da Zhenren, they only have the right to use, not all rights.
So everyone leases, but the lease period is very long, the longest can be a hundred years. Taoist priests habitually refer to this kind of lease for hundreds of years as buying a house.
Qi Xuansu's purchase of a house is actually a lease, but considering that he and Zhang Yuelu are very young, it will take 100 years to complete the purchase, which is not a small sum.
If that's all, then that's it. Qi Xuansu's master rented a small courtyard in Haichanfang at a cost of 1,000 yuan in Taiping money, and the lease period was twenty years. One hundred years is 5,000 yuan in Taiping money, which is equivalent to
Qi Xuansu's income for half a year is not a big deal at all.
But Qi Xuansu couldn't bear to continue living in Haichanfang.
The first is the location issue. It is not unreasonable for Haichanfang’s house prices to be so cheap. The main reason is that the location is not good. It is far away from Taiqing City, even further away from Xuandu, and it is not even close to the Feizhou Port outside. It is not close to either side.
Fuck. In the same neighborhood, the prices in different locations are also different. Those along the street are more expensive, while those located in deep alleys, such as Qi Xuansu’s former residence, are cheaper.
Furthermore, the functions of each square are also different. For example, the royal family members live together in Xuanyuan Square, while most of the first-level Taoist disciples live in Taishang Square, and a very few live in other squares in Shangba Square.
Zhong. Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu are about to be promoted to real people. If they do not live in Taishangfang, but choose Haichanfang, they are likely to be labeled as mavericks by others. This has not been the case since the Five Dynasties Great Master.
Absolutely not allowed.
The most important point is that Qi Xuansu must consider how the Yue family will feel in the future. The Celestial Master gives you face. You cannot throw the face that the Celestial Master gives you to the ground. If you really let Zhang Yuelu live with him in a small courtyard, I'm afraid the Zhang family's face will not look good.
To put it bluntly, the Zhang family bullies others, and Qi Xuansu can indeed ignore it and fight back, but when the Zhang family makes some reasonable demands, Qi Xuansu cannot easily refuse. If you, Qi Xuansu, don't have the ability, that's fine. The key is that you have this ability.
Why did you move to Haichanfang to save money? Are you making the Li family laugh?
In addition, there is also the issue of the size of the residence. Qi Xuansu’s old residence was just a small courtyard and a few bungalows. It was nothing more than two bedrooms, a study room, plus a kitchen and a living room. It was very simple. But the scale of the new residence is just
It can't be so small, it has to be big, the kind that goes in a few inches.
The location of Taishangfang, the size of the property, the life span of a hundred years, and the price are skyrocketing. Not to mention five thousand Taiping, even half a million Taiping is not enough.
Another key point is that the Zhang family will prepare a dowry house. If Qi Xuansu does not want to bear the name of a son-in-law, it is best to match the Zhang family’s dowry. If Qi Xuansu breaks the pot, the Zhang family will naturally be happy to see it happen.
Yes, there is nothing wrong with having multiple real-life sons-in-law, even if they are only in name only.
This puts Qi Xuansu in a difficult position. He has to save so much peace money throughout his life, but he may not be able to save enough.
So there are only two ways. One is to borrow money from Taiping Bank. With his status, the loan can be approved easily and without interest. Even after he becomes the real person of Shenzhi, Taiping Bank may ask him to borrow money.
The remaining debt was forgiven for this reason. However, Qi Xuansu didn't want to do this. The key was that his identity was different. If he wanted to promote any big trade, he could just borrow large amounts in the name of the Taoist government. Taking out a loan to buy a house seemed a bit small.
It's a grand title, not very respectable.
Some people can't help but say something with ulterior motives: "A Zhang Kuquan, who is not ranked in the Zhang family, can own dozens of properties and raise so many women. You, the fourth most powerful person in the family, want to take out a loan to buy a house? You are so poor."
Who are you pretending to show? Why don't other real people take out loans to buy houses? Are you, Qi Xuansu, the only one in such a large Taoist sect who is clean? No one else is clean? I think you are just trying to gain fame and want to use this matter to flaunt yourself, which is hypocritical."
In Taoism, it is very taboo to be independent and independent, Zhang Yuelu is an example. And if one's behavior is higher than others, the public will reject it. Qi Xuansu is in a high position at a young age, and his every move is in the eyes of others. I don't know how many people are waiting to find fault with him, so he doesn't
As a last resort, Qi Xuansu didn't want to be in the spotlight for such a trivial matter.
Then there is only one last option left, which is to contact the parents.
This is not a shame. They must abide by the law and rely on themselves, so few young people can settle down and buy property in Taishangfang. Even Li Changge, Yao Pei, and Zhang Yuelu have to rely on family support. Qi Xuansu begs Qiniang
What's wrong.
But this time it was not Qi Xuansu who took the initiative to contact Qiniang, but Qi Niang who took the initiative to contact Qi Xuansu.
When Qi Xuansu saw Qiniang on the other side of the mother-in-law mirror, he was shocked: "Qiniang? Didn't you say that you can't contact her after leaving the Central Plains? Have you arrived at Fenglinzhou?"
Qiniang said: "I am in Yujing, and I will contact you through the special channels of Taoism. Of course, I am not limited by the scope."
Qi Xuansu asked curiously: "Special channel? Where are you in Yujing?"
"Yuxu Palace." Qiniang spit out three words.
Just as there are four Shangqing palaces in Daomen, there are two Yuxu palaces in Yujing
, one is for holding celebrations, the Yuxu Palace on Yuxu Peak, and the other is the Yuxu Palace in Zifu, which belongs to the Earth Master.
Qiniang said matter-of-factly: "Of course it's the Earth Master's Yuxu Palace. Is it the Yuxu Palace where the grand ceremony is held? How can there be a mother-child mirror there?"
Qi Xuansu didn't speak for a long time.
Qiniang said dissatisfied: "What is your expression? You are allowed to go to the Biyou Palace of the Heavenly Master, but I am not allowed to come to the Yuxu Palace of the Earth Master?"
Qi Xuansu coughed lightly: "I didn't mean that, I was just surprised. Qiniang, how did you enter the Zi Mansion?"
Qiniang took out a token and shook it. It was exactly the same as Zhang Yuelu's pass token: "You don't have it, right? I already had this kind of token forty years ago."
Qi Xuansu was speechless for a while. He really didn't. The last time he went to Biyou Palace, it was just a temporary pass and it would become invalid upon expiration.
Qiniang said: "Okay, my time is limited, I won't chat with you and talk about business. I have already made an agreement with Su Zhisheng to buy you a house in Taishangfang."
Qi Xuansu opened his mouth slightly, in disbelief.
Qiniang, who regards wealth as her life and is as stingy as Pixiu, actually offered to buy him a house without waiting for him to ask for help. At this moment, he even suspected that the Qiniang in front of him was someone else's fake.
Qiniang snorted: "That expression again. I have already said that I saved the money for you and reserved it for you to marry a wife. You still don't believe it. You always suspect that I have embezzled the money. You
Now I feel my conscience and ask, did I lie to you?"
Qi Xuansu said from the bottom of his heart: "No, I judge the gentleman's belly with the heart of a villain."
However, Qi Xuansu's gratitude did not last long, and Qiniang changed the subject: "But I have calculated that the money alone is not enough. So I said hello to Pei Xuanzhi, from now on, your
There is no need to give the bank loan to you, just give it to me directly, and it will be regarded as repaying the debt until it is paid off. Considering the relationship between you and me, the interest will be calculated at the lowest rate for you, even a mother and her son have to settle the accounts clearly."
The smile on Qi Xuansu's face slowly froze.
Qiniang is still the same Qiniang, she has not changed, and she is not fake.
Qiniang said to herself: "When I get old and can no longer work, I can come to your place to take care of myself. You kid, tell me now who has the final say in this family. Is it you or the Zhang family?"
