husband and wife

Chapter 356

Daniel's voice finally brought back Zhang Ran's consciousness, and after he recovered, he said: "Madam thinks that the mansion is not big enough, and it is not easy to expand, so she wants to buy a yard next door for the mansion. I live here, so I just want to ask Big Niu to come with me to take a look."

Buying a yard is a big deal, Da Niu didn't delay, and immediately said: "I'll go with Master right now."

The yard bought for the servants is only used as a dormitory, so you don’t need to pay too much attention to it, it’s okay if it’s simple, as long as there are enough houses and it’s close enough to the magistrate’s capital.

Such a house is not difficult to find, after looking around, Da Niu immediately spotted one and called the owner to negotiate the price.

People in Qiongzhou live in poverty, and the price of goods is naturally not much higher. Furthermore, seeing that Daniu is the new housekeeper of the Zhizhou master's house, the owner dare not offend him. An absolutely fair price went up, and seeing Daniel's brow furrowed, his knees almost gave way, he knelt down to him, but he didn't dare to beg for mercy, he just murmured: "If the housekeeper thinks it's too expensive, you can... we can talk about it... ..."

Zhang Ran didn't speak, and watched Daniel's reaction silently.

"I'm just a servant, I don't dare to call you my lord, you can call me Steward Wang." Daniel glanced at the owner, "I heard that housing prices in Qiongzhou are not expensive, but I never thought it would be so cheap, you must be fooled I?"

"I am wronged, how dare the villain deceive the noble..." The owner of the house was so frightened that he knelt down and begged for mercy.

Before the owner could finish speaking, Daniel waved his hand and interrupted him: "Get up and talk."

The owner didn't dare to make a sound, but Zhang Ran smiled at him gently: "Butler Wang has always been a kind person, you don't have to be so careful."

"Master Zhang..." The owner of the house seemed to trust Master Zhang very much. After hearing him speak, he stood up nonchalantly, and said, "My lord is not a person who oppresses the people. Now that he wants to buy your house, he must buy it." I'll give you a fair price, and I won't make you suffer, you just need to say the price."

Under Master Zhang's comforting gaze, the homeowner dared to say: "Three... 35 taels of silver..."

"So cheap?" Although it was more than twice as expensive as the previous quotation, Da Niu looked at the yard with seven or eight houses, and still felt that the owner was losing money. He pondered for a moment and said, "Your house is in a good location. 35 taels of silver is already sold at a low price, my lord, as the official of Qiongzhou parents, must not take advantage of the people, so let’s take a round number, 50 taels of silver, and buy your yard, would you like it?”

The homeowner was completely shocked: "I can't..."

"It's nothing." When Daniu was in Beijing, Song Ziheng would go to the store to help when there was nothing wrong with him. He watched the store make money every day. He had saved his monthly rewards over the years. There are hundreds of taels, and now I really don't take this kind of money seriously, and said with a rich and powerful look, "You can do whatever you want."

The owner of the house was not happy. He was worried before. When he saw the housekeeper of the new Mr. Zhizhou go around, he finally took a fancy to his own courtyard. It's really not a good look, and he doesn't want to sell the house. It's handed down from his ancestors, so he can't change hands at will, but the other party is a parent official. , who dare not sell?
Although the nobleman said to give money as soon as he came, but the house is not a fool, he naturally understands that this is for others to see, and the other party can give as much as they want, and he can choose?To put it bluntly, it is a blessing for the noble to be able to see his house. As for whether the money given is enough to build a new house, it depends on luck. If you can't build a new house, you can only consider yourself unlucky There is justice everywhere.

Unexpectedly, there is such a great thing, 50 taels of silver is enough for him to build a house nearly twice the size of this yard!The homeowner couldn't help being ecstatic after he figured it out, and nodded with trembling hands: "You have the final say..."

The neighbors who were onlookers sympathized with this house at first, but now they are all envious and jealous, and they looked at Daniel eagerly: "Butler Wang, sir, you need another house, and my yard is not bad!"

Daniel smiled and said: "It's enough for now, if there is a need in the future, I will definitely come to see you again."

Everyone said one after another: "Butler Wang, remember to come to my house—"

Daniu nodded slightly, then turned to look at the overjoyed homeowner: "Follow me to sign the contract first, and then go to the mansion to get the money."

"Have you dealt with the matter before Mr. Xiang?"

The house is still tidying up things one after another. There are many people with me, so it is not difficult to carry luggage. Mama Liu is relatively safe. Once in the house, she fetches water to wipe off the slump, washes it in hot water, and takes a clean handkerchief. After wiping the bed dry, laying soft cushions and placing small pillows, she told Su Wan to rest on the soft couch.

Su Wan lay lazily on the soft couch, watching the room coming in and out, eating snacks with fragrant tea, occasionally turning around to look out the window, Song Liangchen was jumping up and down in the yard, very happy.

Song Ziheng came in at this time, and seeing his wife stealing half a day's leisure, he didn't answer her words, but teased: "My wife will enjoy it."

"If my husband is free, why not come over and sit for a while."

Song Ziheng really stepped forward, sat down next to Su Wan, stretched out his long hand, picked up the cup on the small coffee table, and sniffed it lightly on the tip of his nose.

"The fragrance is strong." He took another sip, "Sweet and delicious."

Su Wan smiled and said, "That's my cup."

Song Ziheng really put down the cup, Su Wan raised her eyebrows again: "Your Excellency heard that it's my cup, are you starting to dislike it?"

"How dare a husband dislike my wife, as long as she doesn't dislike her, I'm lucky." When Song Ziheng withdrew his hand, he turned half of his face, his lips just passed Su Wan's earlobe, and his voice entered her ears like a whisper of love.

"It's just that this tea is really too sweet."

"Grandpa has good taste. This tea was presented by Mr. Zhang. It is said to be a kind of fragrant tea special in Qiongzhou. After drinking it, it leaves a fragrant fragrance in your mouth. The local ladies and wives love it very much." Xiaolu stepped into the house Before Su Wan could speak, she revealed the answer with a smile.

Su Wan glanced at her, her eyes suddenly fixed behind Xiaolu.

Several servants came in carrying a large table, the shape was indeed familiar.

Xiaolu has also turned her head and stared at them carefully, and said incessantly, "You guys should be lighter, this item is precious, if it is accidentally broken, it won't pay you enough if you sell it."

Su Wan's eyes flashed: "What is this?"

Little Green didn't turn her head back, she raised her voice and said: "Miss will find out soon." After saying this, she had already taken several servants to move things into the house.
