peasant queen

Chapter 30
I plan to go there first and ask to see if they have a house in their hands, or do they know the guy who sells the house?
Maybe it was her luck, when she just arrived, she heard a middle-aged man complaining, saying: That guest has already paid the deposit, but now he doesn't want to take it anymore.

When Jiang Wan heard this, is there such a good thing?

She hurried forward to inquire about the house with the middle-aged man, and then asked for the address? It was not far behind the government office. Isn't this specially prepared for her?

It's just such a good house, why should the buyer break the contract?Is there something hidden here?
No, you have to ask about this matter carefully.

After chatting with the middle-aged man, Jiang Wan found out that he was a servant of the landlord's family.The homeowner took his family and servants to other places, leaving him to sell the house here.

The man's family also left together. He wanted to sell the house earlier and go back to reunite with his family earlier.

I watched the time go by day by day, but there were not many people looking at the house, and the price dropped again and again.Finally, a customer was willing to buy and paid a deposit.

Unexpectedly, there was an accident when it was time to pay the balance.

Not only did the man not buy it, but he also asked for the original deposit back.I heard that something happened at home and money is urgently needed.

The middle-aged man disagreed at first, how could he return the money he got.

Later, the other party knelt down and begged him, saying that he needed money to save his life.The man saw that what the other party said was really pitiful, so he returned the deposit of 500 taels to him.

It has been almost half a year since the homeowner left, and the weather is getting cooler every day.The middle-aged man became anxious, so he ran to Ren Yazi's fellow villager to complain.

In the end, Jiang Wan bumped into her.I have to say that Jiang Wan's luck is really good.

After hearing the middle-aged man's explanation, Jiang Wan was relieved now.Now follow him to see the house, and the house is indeed behind the government office as he said.

The middle-aged man introduced to Jiang Wan as he walked, that the house is a courtyard with three entrances, and the place is very large.The environment inside is elegant, and you can tell the original owner's intentions at a glance.

There is also a small pond in the yard of Erjin, in which several lotus plants are planted, and there are two rockeries beside it.There is also a corridor in the middle where you can rest.

This courtyard not only has a good environment, but also has many rooms.Even the furniture in the house is made of high-quality wood, and the carving is even more exquisite.

Jiang Wan looked around, this yard should not be cheap, and I don't know if I have enough money?

However, this yard is so nice.If you miss it, don't know when you can buy the desired yard?

Moreover, although this yard is in the downtown area.But it is not noisy at all, it is the most suitable place for my uncle to study here.

The middle-aged man kept silent after seeing Jiang Wan look at the house.I thought it was another one who just watched but didn't buy, and I was a little disappointed, but I didn't say anything.

He has been waiting aside, waiting for Jiang Wan to propose to leave.

Jiang Wan thought about it for a while, then raised her head and asked, "Uncle, how do you sell this house?"

"Four thousand five hundred taels of silver." The middle-aged man said without thinking.He didn't know how many times he had said this price. Everyone who came to see the house had to ask it again, and he was used to it.

Jiang Wan nodded after listening, the price is not expensive, but it is not cheap either.She calculated in her heart, the money on her body plus the money she received today was only 200 taels.

She also needs to leave some silver to buy things. In this way, the silver she can move now is only 4000 taels at most.

After thinking about it, Jiang Wan said to the middle-aged man: "Uncle, your price is a bit expensive! Tell me, how much money can you sell at least? If it suits me, I will buy it."

"Do you really want to buy it?" the middle-aged man said in disbelief.

"Of course, I have taken a fancy to this yard. But the price is a bit high, if it is lowered a bit, I will buy it."

"Girl, this price is already very cheap.

I didn't ask you for a high price, this is a big mansion with three entrances.The furniture in the house is made of good wood and carved by masters.

If the furniture sold alone can sell for thousands or eight hundred, now it is only 500 taels for you together with the furniture.

It turns out that it costs 5000 taels. I only said the real price because you really want to buy it. Otherwise, how can you buy such a good house for 500 taels? "

"That's how it is! I don't want furniture. I bought this house for 4000 taels. If you agree, you can go to the Yamen to exchange the lease now."

"This... girl! You can't do this, where do you want me to transport this furniture!" The middle-aged man said in a dilemma.

"I really want to buy this house, but I can only pay 4000 taels at most. You can make up for some losses by dragging away the furniture and selling it."

After hearing Jiang Wan's words, the middle-aged man lowered his head and thought for a while before agreeing. He really couldn't afford to delay.

If this drags on, I still don't know how long I'll have to wait?When it snows and blocks the road, it will be difficult for him to go back.Do you still want to celebrate New Year here?
No no no!There is nothing in this house, it is deserted, even if I die in it, no one will find out.Better go early!
Thinking of this, without Jiang Wan's urging, the middle-aged man took out the deed from his arms and said, "Just 4000 taels! I won't take away the furniture, I'll give it to you.

As long as you pay the money, I will immediately take you to the Yamen to exchange the contract. "

"Okay! This is 4000 taels, order it." Jiang Wan took out a bank note from her cuff and handed it to the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man took the banknote and checked it. After confirming that it was correct, he handed over the house deed and the key to Jiang Wan.

Jiang Wan didn't check, she opened the key by watching.As for the house deed, I have to go to the Yamen to change it anyway, so I'm not afraid that he will take a fake one.

After collecting the money, the middle-aged man took Jiang Wan to the Yamen to exchange the contract.

However, the middle-aged man was unwilling to pay the five taels of silver for the contract.Jiang Wan didn't care about it, and simply paid five taels of silver.

In addition, the petty officials who went through the formalities were rewarded with one tael of silver per person.

After completing the formalities, Jiang Wan took the newly completed deed and left the Yamen, and went back to the restaurant to find her elder brother Jiang Ronggan.

Jiang Ronggan, who had been sitting in the lobby waiting for nearly two hours, was anxious for a long time, but he didn't know where to find someone, so he could only stay in the restaurant and worry.

As soon as Jiang Wan's feet stepped into the restaurant, Jiang Rong dared to find out.He immediately got up and walked over, "Wan'er, why have you been here for so long?"

"Brother, hurry up! I went to Fucheng to look at the house, and I wasted some time."

"Look at the house? Wan'er, do you want to buy a house? Isn't the house being built at home? Why do you want to buy it?" Jiang Rong dared to ask in puzzlement?

"Brother, let's talk as we go! Go call Fang Da, and I'll talk to the shopkeeper."

"Oh! Well, you go!"

It was getting late, Jiang Wan planned to stay overnight in Fucheng and go back tomorrow.To live here, daily necessities are essential.

After saying goodbye to the shopkeeper, Jiang Wan took Jiang Ronggan and Fang Da to buy some necessities for life.

Such as: mats, quilts, wooden barrels, pots, rice noodles and so on.

On the way, Jiang Wan told Jiang Ronggan about buying a house in Fucheng.

Jiang Rong dared to nod and did not speak, as Jiang Wan had already said before.
