Chapter 024 Pavilion
In addition to Chen Yang, the capital of the Liang Dynasty, there are 14 cities.
Wuyang City and Huiting City are two of them.
Compared with Wuyang City, Fu Rui, the owner of Huiting City, seems to be particularly unambitious. He does not have a relationship, does not be close to his good-neighbor, and sticks to his own acre of land and does his duty conscientiously.
Under his governance, Huiting City does not say that the house is not closed at night, but it is far more peaceful than other places. Although it is still looking for a living, it looks particularly comfortable.
Many people don't like Fu Rui's nature, and they have said a lot of runs in the dark.
But if something really happens to Fu Rui, they are willing to help, unlike others, let alone take advantage of his illness to kill him.
In the words of Guo Ziliang, the owner of Wuyang City, people like Fu Rui could not show his importance when he was rich, but when he had difficulties in the morning and sunset, the only possibility was to help him, and the only one he was willing to accept help was Fu Rui.
For ambitious people like them, Fu Rui is a rare person who can make them feel safe and willing to trust.
Of course, these words are just saying. When it comes to that time, will Fu Rui really help him as he said? Except for Zhang Hanqiu, no one can be sure.
As the only insider in the next few decades, the reason why Zhang Hanqiu chose to come here is enough to explain everything.
When the whole world was dragged into the flames of war, Huiting City was the least damaged, and the slaughter of the city elsewhere still happened. After the fall of Huiting City, only a bunch of officials were changed. The people were not greatly affected, but they scared themselves enough, so that the world was stable many years later, and the stability and prosperity of Hui
Zhang Hanqiu doesn't want to move all the time. Since she planned to leave the Zhang family, Huiting City has been the best place to settle down in her heart.
Hurry up and finally move forward at the gate.
Lifting the curtain and looking at the crowd outside, Zhang Hanqiu felt joy from the bottom of his heart.
"Find a better inn to settle in. I'm afraid we will stay in the inn for several days."
"Yes."
Running around for a day, I have nothing to say all night.
The next day, Zhang Hanqiu asked Ha Song to bring the inn shopkeeper over. "I heard that the shopkeeper is popular and has a wide range of people. We are new here for the first time, and we want to ask the shopkeeper for help."
With a few years old shopkeepers, he read countless people and did not dare to despise the noble lady who was still childish in the sound of wearing a hare hat. "Miss, just order it."
"I came to Huiting City to go to my relatives, but I didn't expect... I have sold everything in my hometown, and it's not appropriate to go back, so I want to buy a house in the city to settle down. I don't know if there is a way for the shopkeeper?" Rub the teacup, Zhang Hanqiu's crisp voice was calm, as if no matter what she said, it was just like what she said.
It's a good thing to let yourself do things. The shopkeeper is secretly happy. If things are done, how can you not have your own benefits? I wonder how big a house the young lady wants? What's the acceptable price?
"Cool, don't worry, the shopkeeper. If it goes well, I will thank you very much. As for the price... I will let my servant come with you to negotiate. It would be better if the shopkeeper could help suppress the price."
"The young lady is also a cheerful person, and the little man doesn't say much. I'm going to work for the young lady and inform the young lady as soon as possible."
"It's so good."
Send the shopkeeper out of the house, and your wife calculated the money in her hand and said, "Miss, do you think we should buy a smaller house to live in first? I can't get the things from the master for a while, otherwise you will allow Lao Nu to go to Xia's house?" Ru Niang, you can't really regard me as Xia's family just because I turned myself into Xia Hanqiu, and righteously seek the help of the Xia family. The Xia family may have pity for me, and the money will not be short of me, but the relationship will be reduced. I hope to gain a foothold here with my own strength. At that time, When the ancestral family faces it again, it is not a relationship of attachment and being attached. The relationship is naturally preserved.
Zhang Hanqiu, no, at this time, she is already Xia Hanqiu. The memories of several generations are slowly integrated. She is no longer the Miss Zhang who didn't understand everything and only knew how to give in.
"We have nearly 8,000 taels of silver in our hands. When we settle down, you will work hard to go to Lianxi Temple, where there are not only the things that my mother has saved in the past few years. We have sent all the gold and silver jewelry that my mother left in Zhangfu, and we can also use it at the critical moment. At Go down."
"Miss, how can you do business in your capacity? The old slave doesn't want to break your self-esteem, but... You are still so young that you can't really stop marrying. If the dowry is light, you can't be despised by your mother-in-law?" I'm just a civilian now. Why can't I do business?
Xia Hanqiu smiled emptyly, "Don't say anything about marriage in the future. In my current situation, even if I marry with a lot of wealth, I will not be valued. How can a daughter-in-law stand up without the support of my mother's family? If only Jiabao were my own brother. I would take him with me regardless of everything. He is so competitive, and he will definitely have great promise in the future. With him in the back, there is no fear of getting married.
Your mother's sadness comes from it. Miss has just made a head in her life. If it is so empty, what kind of hardship will this life be like! All right, mother, don't cry. Why don't you live? You don't have to wait for your husband, mother-in-law and sister-in-law, and you can live a better life. When the shopkeeper has news, you can go with him to see the house. At this time, don't be idle and go outside to inquire about the prices of the pavilion city. Don't be wronged by others.
Your mother choked and responded.
"If the price is right, you can buy a three-entry house. Don't be stingy with money. As soon as you buy a house, you may have to live for a lifetime."
Ru Niang gritted her teeth and answered, turned around and went out of the inn to the market. Miss's money can't be wasted, and she must not be dugated.
The inn shopkeeper came quickly and soon replied to the message.
"The little one went to find a familiar middleman. He has a lot of houses in his hand, including big houses and small houses. I don't know when the young lady thinks it's good to see it?" What's the price of a big house? What's the price of a small house? The shopkeeper smiled, "There are good and bad in the house, and it depends on the price."
"Then let's do it tomorrow. You can ask the man to come early tomorrow morning."
"Good, the little one will send him the message."
When Ru Niang came back, she looked a little excited. "Miss, the price of the pavilion city is actually lower than that of Wuyang City. The old slave went to inquire. The three-in good house costs about 3,000 taels, and it can be cheaper if it is a little cheaper."
"Don't be greedy for that cheap."
Looking at Ru Niang's tight money bag, Xia Hanqiu couldn't help smiling gently. It looked like a warm wind blowing, which was particularly warm.
Your mother thought, just for the young lady's relaxed smile, she will definitely find a good one. Silver will find a way in the future. She doesn't believe that her wife will ignore the young lady in the future, let alone that the Xia family will watch coldly after knowing the young lady's situation.
Now, it's only when the young lady has a good time.
"Your mother, when you see the middleman tomorrow, you can ask if there are any shops connected to the house, so that it is convenient for us to do some business. We can't come forward. Isn't there Tasong and others?" Your mother doesn't want the young lady to do business, cheap business, cheap business. She can't tolerate such words being used on the young lady.
But I think it's really feasible for Tasong and others to fall out. Which noble family did not do business, isn't it also taken care of by the servants? Yes, the old slave wrote it down.
It takes a lot of money to buy a good shop alone, and then you have to buy it together with the house... Your mother's heart is hanging again.
Buying a house is a big deal. There is a lot of money. Your mother is particularly cautious, and the middlemen are also very careful. Even the shopkeepers follow it day by day. They have gained enough benefits. As a person who has been rooted in the local area for many years, she has put forward a lot of useful opinions.
A few days later, Ru Niang finally targeted her in two places and let the young lady make the final choice.
After looking at both places, Xia Hanqiu did not hesitate to choose the place that seemed inferior to the other people.
"Miss, if you do business, you can't compare with the previous place. The old slave just feels that this place is quiet and comfortable to live in, but the business is limited."
"It's very suitable here."
sent Ru Niang to negotiate the price, and Xia Hanqiu took A Jiu to the shop for a walk.
This is a shallow alley. There are only four pavement from the main street. The one she likes is in the innermost part of the alley. The pavement is facing the alley. Only this pavement is connected to a three-entry house behind. Another door is opened next to the pavement, but the main door is at the other end.
The pavement should have been sold as well as the ones next to it, but it was probably not made. The pavement has been closed for some time, and a thick layer of dust has accumulated.
This location is really good, close to the main street, because it comes in so much, but it doesn't seem too noisy.
Along the way, she paid attention to the shops. Most of the main street were inns, restaurants, and some rouge jewelry shops.
If she wants to make a profitable business, it is best to avoid these and make some characteristics.
What I learned in my last life was inexplicably lost before I could practice it. So, let's practice here.
As for what to do... Thinking of the beautiful stories I have seen, my smile crawled all over my face.
Her experience is really not good. If it is known, she may make a lot of tears.
She is not interested in analyzing herself to others, but if she smears some people in the form of stories, such as Wu, Zhang Qiaoer, Zhang Zetian, Qi Zhensheng... She is very happy.
Which girl doesn't have spring? If she writes some lingering stories to print them into books and sell them in the shop, isn't that the unique feature of her shop? Even if the four shops in this alley follow the trend and do the same business as her in the future, what are you afraid of? Do you still have to worry about not being able to live? The more I think about it, the more I feel like this. Xia Hanqiu's eyes are shining, and her whole heart is ready to move. I can't wait to start her money-making plan now.
Your mother came in with a bitter face and reported, "Miss, the price can't be suppressed. The other party will bite at least 5,000 taels."
"Buy it."
Five thousand taels, the total number in their hands is less than eight thousand taels, and the bits and pieces have been used. This time, most of them have gone. Your mother is heartbroken.
But looking at the young lady's expression, I knew that she had made up her mind, and your mother didn't say much.
PS: Merry Christmas, everyone.
