Chapter 234 Buying a House

The shopkeeper took the money, and the clerk neatly packed the cloth, put a piece of cloth in the basket, and stood upright together with the four-knife paper.

Then put the spread in a small cloth bundle and put it on top of the books.

The small cloth bag containing the money was taken out by Ding Shitou, and he went to the shopkeeper to exchange it for a tael of silver, which saved a lot of weight and space.

The remaining two slings and the remaining ten or so coins in the purse were packed together, and they left the cloth shop.

The two major tasks were completed. They bought candied haws on the street and ate while shopping, also learning about the latest trends in the city.

Before he knew it, he walked outside the Zhao residence. It turned out that Wending Lane was not far from the main street just now.

They glanced at the closed gate of the Zhao Mansion, and all their eyes turned to Ding Shitou.

"Let's go." Ding Shitou smiled, and suddenly felt that the candied haws were not too sweet.

They didn't go to Yunxia Lane, but walked to the other side in the opposite direction, to the west side of the city, and they walked into Liuhua Lane.

"boom!"

A sudden sound came from the courtyard on the right.

"Oh, what did you do? This is a vase I bought for ten taels of silver!" A woman's shrill voice sounded angrily.

"Hey, I'm afraid people won't know that you have been cheated by paying ten taels for a junk product." Another woman's voice came mockingly.

When they looked at it, they started pinching, Ding Shitou and the others looked over at the same time, only to see that the courtyard door was half closed, and the two women almost wrestled together.

"Okay, the carriage is coming, so why bother!" A middle-aged man said majestically, ending a dispute at the right time.

"Master, the middle-aged man has gone out of the city, this house..." An old servant asked the middle-aged man when he brought out his things.

"Go to the street and put up a notice. It's sold for 100 taels! It's really bad luck, so hurry up!" The middle-aged man waved his hand impatiently.

100 two?

unlucky?

Ding Shitou and Ding Dian glanced at each other, and immediately walked aside and muttered.

"Would you like to take a look?" Ding Shitou's mind fluttered, and he had some ideas.

"Although it's not cheap, 100 taels is not expensive for a house with a yard like this in the city." Ding Dian was also a little moved.

In Hangzhou, they have already observed that a small shop costs about 2000 taels, and a house like Zhao’s with a garden and several small courtyards costs about 500 taels, at least, and the possibility of exceeding 500 taels very big.

And this yard...

The two turned their heads to look around at the same time, and found that the yard was just behind the Zhao Mansion, but the yard was much smaller.

In such a geographical environment, even if the yard is reduced by half, there is probably only one side yard and one backyard, and it should be sold for 300 taels.

But for what reason did the master feel unlucky?Are they busy moving?
"Go to bargain, say that our brothers have just arrived in Hangzhou to study, and the inn is not quiet enough to study. I just heard the master say that this house is unlucky, but we are not afraid of coming from other places, but I hope the price will be cheaper. I will find a place. Get the money out."

Seeing that Dingdian also wanted to buy a house, Ding Shitou immediately whispered to her brother, and she chased after the sister Xiaofu who had gone far away and was looking back curiously.

Ding Dian immediately took the book out of the basket and held it in his hands.

This can prove their identity as scholars. Isn't it normal to go to a bookstore to buy a few books and read them back.

"Boss, what's the matter?" Xiao Fu looked at Ding Shitou who was walking over hurriedly, and asked in surprise.

"Wait here with the basket. I'll go find a place to get money. If we can buy this house today, we can always sell it for money." Ding Shishito handed the basket to his sister to carry, and hurried away.
