The shopkeeper said this very seriously, but Jiang Rujin smiled bitterly.She wanted to buy it, but how could she decide rashly before she saw the place, and the shopkeeper was also the shopkeeper.It didn't take long for the carriage to stop, the shopkeeper got down from the carriage and put down the small stool, Jiang Rujin and Cui Ping stepped on the small stool and got off the carriage, and when they looked up, a vermilion gate appeared in front of them.The shopkeeper put the stool away, then bolted the horse and turned around and said, "Miss, this is it." ”Jiang Rujin looked around, the environment here is very quiet, the courtyard wall of blue bricks and tiles, and the green bamboo sticking out of the wall make this place seem so quiet and peaceful.She likes the quietness here, the Chen family is more demure, and she thinks that it will be better for Jiang Ruian to grow up in this environment in the future.The door was opened by the shopkeeper, who was not in a hurry to enter, but waited for the two to enter before following behind.Jiang Rujin thought that this yard would be very dilapidated if it was empty for a while, but he didn't expect that everything in front of him was well taken care of, the pruned flowers, and the cleaned yard, even the fallen leaves on the ground were very few.The courtyard is very large, compared with the small courtyard of the Jiang Mansion, it is more than that, the pattern of five openings, one room on the left and right sides of the main house, one room on the north and one room on the south, a total of five houses are enough.Near the north wall, there was a well covered with bluestone slabs, and the shopkeeper walked over and lifted the stone slabs open, and a well appeared in front of him."
The well water in this well is very good, not to mention enough for a family, even for the whole street."
The shopkeeper had a smile on his face.What Jiang Rujin wants is to have a well in the yard, so that they don't have to use the public well with others, so there is a lot less right and wrong.The house next to the well is the stove room, behind which are two bundles of unburned firewood, and the pots and pans in the house are all stocked.The shopkeeper did not forget to introduce here, and said calmly: "You have everything you need here, you can generally open your own stove and cook when you come in, and the well is also close, I will take you to the bedroom to see, here in addition to the main house and a study on the south side, the remaining three are bedrooms, a few of you are enough to live, the quilt is moved away, but the furniture has not been moved, although some paint is peeled, but if you have the leisure to brush the new paint, it should also be used as a new one, the furniture is intact, you can rest assured that I have checked." ”Jiang Rujin listened to the introduction of the shopkeeper while walking, and looked at the furniture in the house, in fact, the paint peeling was not very serious, but the corners were a little paintless, which did not affect the use.After looking around, Jiang Rujin was really satisfied with this place, she walked out of the courtyard and looked at the south courtyard wall of her house and asked: "Is it the master of the Hanwen Academy who lives over there, right?"
"Yes, the location of this house is definitely very good, the south is Peng Fuzi of Hanwen Academy, and the north is Li Fuzi of Hanwen Academy, both of whom are highly respected and respected gentlemen, and the Xiu who lived in this mansion before Xie Yuan is a student of Peng Fuzi. ”Jiang Rujin was very hesitant, whether to buy it or not was not something that would be decided for a while, she still needed to think about it."
Let's go back now, I'll tell my mother everything I see, thank you for bringing us here."
She thanked her very politely.Returned to the inn together, she first thanked the shopkeeper before going upstairs, Cui Ping went upstairs before her, and when she entered the house, Cui Ping had already told Chen what she saw.Cuiping also wants Ruian to have a career in the future, she knows that the price of this yard is very expensive, but she thinks it is really suitable for them to live, the people who live near here are literati, everyone is reasonable, and presumably there will be no unnecessary trouble in the future.Chen was very moved, and when he saw Jiang Rujin entering the house, he hurriedly said: "Are you satisfied with Rujin's house?"
Cuiping has followed her for so many years, she believes in Cuiping's words very much, and now Cuiping praises the house like this in front of her, she is really a little moved.Jiang Rujin has been thinking about this problem on the way back, the eight hundred taels of silver are too much, although they have the dowry silver they sold, and the one thousand taels given by the old man, but if they buy such an expensive mansion, their lives will be a little stretched.She wanted to say and take a look, but when she touched Chen's expectant eyes, as well as Ruian who was sleeping peacefully in Chen's arms, she thought of what she wanted to do in her life, and nodded directly: "Mother, I think that house is very good, mother, can I tell you something" As soon as Chen saw Jiang Rujin become serious, he understood that something terrible must be said, and subconsciously nodded: "If you have anything you want to say, just say it directly." ”Jiang Rujin stepped forward and opened the burden on the bed, then took out all the dowry silver tickets sold along the way and put them on the table, counted them and looked at Chen: "Mother, we now have more than 1,600 taels of silver, it sounds like a lot, but in fact it is not much, leave 500 taels of silver on you, this silver is reserved for Ruian, and the remaining more than 1,000 taels can not be handed over to me, and whatever expenses I need after I come to take care of the house will be spent from my hands." ”In this way, she is also laying a foundation for the future, Chen cannot rely on it, and the only person she can rely on now is herself.Chen almost didn't think about it and agreed directly, and his tone was still a little eager: "If Jin Niang thinks that your plan is very good, you see that your mother doesn't know anything, if you don't take care of everything along the way, your mother doesn't know what to do, and this family is handed over to you to be a mother." ”She looked at Jiang Rujin with hopeful eyes, but she was very pleased to raise an assertive daughter.Jiang Rujin went downstairs with a hesitant and tangled face, and the small appearance made the shopkeeper think that Jiang Rujin was not going to buy a house.She walked behind the shopkeeper's counter and looked up at the shopkeeper, wondering what to say next."
Miss, what does your mother mean by agreeing to buy or not?"
the shopkeeper couldn't see what Jiang Rujin's expression meant.Jiang Rujin sighed in confusion: "My sister and I like that yard very much, and after telling my mother, my mother is also very excited, but we still think the price of the yard is too expensive, if you can buy it for about seven hundred and fifty taels, there is no hesitation, but I don't know the shopkeeper for this price." ”The regret on her face was matched with a helpless sigh, and the shopkeeper's heart began to shake a little."
You have seen everything in that yard, and I regularly ask someone to repair or clean that yard, you only need to prepare a quilt to be able to live in, you think about such a large yard and the geographical location are excellent, it is definitely worth the price of eight hundred taels."
The shopkeeper looked at Jiang Rujin very seriously
