Chapter 51

Entering the house three times, adhering to low-key luxury, Jia Yun was very satisfied after seeing it.

Afterwards, he and Zhou Kun looked at the left and right courtyards. The left courtyard was empty, the ground had been leveled, and there was nothing there. Presumably, there was no time to decorate it.

On the other hand, in the right courtyard, a large pond has been built with lotus flowers in it. Although it is winter and the lotus flowers have withered, some of them can be seen.

Weeping willows are planted by the pond, there are rockery pavilions around, and there is an octagonal attic not far away, which is the best building in the whole courtyard.

Around the octagonal attic, there are still many plum blossoms planted. At this time, it is the flowering season, and the plum blossoms in the garden are in full bloom. The fragrance of the flowers makes people linger and forget to return.

No matter how far away, there are still a few cages of noble concubine bamboos, which are delicate, elegant, free and easy, and are too beautiful to behold.

Jia Yun and Zhou Kun climbed to the octagonal building, opened the window and looked out, and Ning Rong's Second Mansion happened to be in sight.

Jia Yun has excellent eyesight, standing here she can even see a courtyard where Jia Lan is talking to his mother Li Wan.

"What a good place!" Zhou Kun said with a lewd smile.

Turning his head, he looked at Jia Yun and asked, "How about it? I've seen it too. Is it acceptable? If you think it's okay, just buy it directly. You shouldn't suffer a loss. If you're not satisfied, I'll give it to you again." Just look for it!"

"Buy, buy today!"

Jia Yun has never been a hesitant character. He looked satisfied with this house, so he naturally wanted to act first. If he waited for the hesitation of others to pass, it would be too late for him to fight.

"Very good, I suggest that after you buy this house, you can move your household registration here so that you won't have to change it again when you take the scientific examination next year." Zhou Kun said with a smile.

If you buy a house, you must live in it. If it is another big house, Jia Yun will definitely have to wait for the scholar exam before moving here.

But now the outside of this house looks like any other ordinary house, so naturally there is no need to think about it so much.

Xiren is right in saying that he is now making friends with scholars like Zhou Kun, who have a good house, so it is much more convenient to welcome and send them off.

Although it is said that the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, it is just a matter of appearance.

Not to mention others, just Jia Yun herself, she is definitely willing to associate with those who have good family conditions.

Before he was a scholar, it was probably nothing.

But as long as he has a reputation for raising people, I believe that [-]% of the members of the Jia family will not have frequent contact with him anymore.

After all, Ju Ren is a serious master, and I believe that many people would not want to kowtow to him for nothing.

After making up their minds, the two of them didn't stay any longer, they came out of the courtyard, got into the carriage, and Jia Yun went home first to get the silver.

"5000 taels is not expensive." After returning home, Jia Yun put the silver in her pocket, thinking to herself.

A house covering an area of ​​nearly 10,000 mu, if it is completely renovated, it cannot be bought without 10+ or ​​even tens of thousands of taels of silver.

Therefore, Jia Yun has picked up a bargain, and he feels that he has made a profit just based on the furniture in the house.

16 taels a catty, 5000 taels of silver, totaling more than 930 catties, Jia Yun used ten pockets to store it.

The silver is heavy, and more than 900 catties of silver are actually not that big, but both Jia Yun and Zhou Kun were afraid that the carriage would not be able to bear the weight, so they put the silver on the carriage and walked with the carriage.

Zhou Kun didn't ask why Jia Yun's family had so much money.

He was born in an official family and knew what to ask and what not to ask.

Besides, Jia Yun's ability to go to Qingshan Academy to study means that Jia Yun's family is not short of money, which is why he dared to come to Jia Yun even when he encountered such an expensive house.

Half an hour later, the two arrived outside the door.

Zhou Kun came here quite often, and he knew all the gatekeepers. After he stepped forward and said a few words, he directly asked the servant to drive the carriage into the household department.

The household department is one of the six departments, in charge of household registration and finance, with many officials and busy affairs.

After Jia Yun entered the household department, she didn't look around for fear of causing unnecessary trouble, so she followed the carriage straight inside.

I don't know how many times he entered and how many houses, Zhou Kun suddenly grabbed a small official and asked the small official to call his father over, and whispered a few words.

Looking back, Zhou Kun whispered: "Don't look at it as buying a house. If my father is not allowed to come forward, the various procedures alone will kill people. I won't be able to get the title deed in a month or two, let alone There are also kid exploits."

Jia Yun nodded silently, bureaucracy is not uncommon in any era.

As for petty officials, it is even more uncommon to ask for cards.

I heard that there are many big businessmen who got business from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and were arrested by eunuchs. In the end, they were dissatisfied and couldn't get approval slips, and all of them went bankrupt.

Soon, Zhou Kun's father came. Like Zhou Kun, he was a big fat man.

Jia Yun stepped forward to salute. Because of Zhou Kun, Zhou's father was quite kind. After exchanging pleasantries with Jia Yun, he asked the little official to count the amount of silver on the carriage.

After confirming that it was correct, Father Zhou took Jia Yun and Zhou Kun to a guest room to sit down and drink tea. After a few words of advice, he left with Jia Yun's household registration and money.

"Don't worry, you'll be able to get the title deed within an hour at most." Zhou Kun murmured in a low voice, afraid that Jia Yun would be worried.

Jia Yun nodded, saying that she was not nervous would be a lie, after all, it was 5000 taels of silver.

This is also because he trusts Zhou Kun, and the transaction place is placed in the household department. If it is in other places, Jia Yun will definitely follow him with so much money, otherwise he is really worried.

In fact, Zhou's father moved extremely quickly, and returned in only half an hour.

"This is the land deed, this is the new household registration, and there is also a license exempt from taxes and corvee for three years. You keep them all. If someone comes to check, you can just take them out." Father Zhou took several documents, Hand it over to Jia Yun for exhortation.

Jia Yun took it and took a closer look, and found that it was covered with the special seal of the Ministry of Households, as well as the signatures of many officials in charge of the Ministry of Households such as the Secretary of the Ministry of Households.

No wonder Zhou Kun said before that it would take several months for ordinary people to go through the formalities. There are so many officials involved, and they are all high-ranking officials. It is difficult for ordinary people to meet each other, let alone go through any formalities.

After collecting the documents, Jia Yun took the initiative to invite Zhou Kun and his son to dinner, but Zhou's father refused. It was the end of the year and he was busy with business, so we will talk about it when we are free.

After Jia Yun invited him a few times, seeing that he was really busy, she didn't force her anymore, but she held Zhou Kun back, saying that she must go back to her house and cook a good dinner for him.

Zhou Kun did not refuse. After talking to his father, he said goodbye to Jia Yun and left.

Sitting in the carriage, Jia Yun asked Zhou Kun, "Fat Kun, what are your father's hobbies?"

"My father is very fond of drinking." How could Zhou Kun not understand Jia Yun's meaning, but he helped Jia Yun so much today, if Jia Yun wanted to give a gift, he would not refuse.

There is human relationship, and there is human relationship only when there is communication.

Jia Yun breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "If you want to talk about other things, I may not be able to take them out, but when it comes to wine, the old wine I brewed at home, many people drink it and say it is better than Fenjiu. Be sure to taste it, and bring some back to uncle when the time comes."

"Is that the kind of wine you brought to the academy?" Zhou Kun asked, swallowing his saliva.

Jia Yun nodded and said, "That's right, it's that kind of wine, I would be reluctant to drink it for ordinary people."

Zhou Kun laughed and said, "Then don't be reluctant today, I've helped you so much, it's time to drink some good wine!"

PS: Ask for tickets, all kinds of tickets.
