NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 101 Buying a House in the Capital
Ning Xiao followed Xiao Linzi out of the inn, came to Yahang, and met the steward. The steward looked to be in his thirties and had a kind face. Ning Xiao first got to know the steward. Only then did he say this.
"Let's go over and take a look at that house! If it's suitable, I will certainly not hesitate to buy it."
The steward's surname is Zhong, and his real name is Zhong Cheng. He is one of the stewards of this dental shop. He is mainly responsible for the sales of houses and shops in the capital. He also has several good houses under his command. On the way to the house, he acted like himself. introduce.
"Mr. Ning, I not only sell houses here, but also sell shops. If you want to do business, you can come to me. I will definitely give you a preferential price!
If you want to buy some land, farm, etc., you can come to me. My brother-in-law also works in Yahang, and he is responsible for the business of land! "
Ning Xiao smiled and said, "It's easy to say that I am not short of money, but I have no plans to buy Zhuangzi for the time being. If I need it in the future, I will definitely come to Xunzhong Guanzi."
Yaxing is not very far from the house. The three of them walked for about a stick of incense before they arrived. Looking at the gatehouse in front of him, Ning Xiao was very satisfied. Under the leadership of Manager Zhong, Ning Xiao entered the house.
This house is not small. There are twenty or thirty rooms, large and small, in the courtyard leading from the front and back. The main room in the front yard, the east and west wing rooms, plus the side rooms, there are already more than a dozen rooms. The courtyard There is also a camphor tree planted in the house. Follow the corridor to the backyard. Although the yard is not as big as the first yard you enter, it has all aspects. There are wells in the front and back yards, so it is very convenient to use water.
This house looks like it has been recently renovated. Could something have happened? Thinking of this, Ning Xiao asked.
Manager Zhong smiled bitterly and said, "Master Ning is really awesome. The reason why this house was sold for 800 taels of silver was naturally because something happened. This was once the villa of a wealthy businessman. He kept an outhouse here. She also gave birth to a son, but for some reason the head wife who lived in the old house found out about it. Later, she came with a group of servants and beat the outer room to death, and the son was also sold.
When the wealthy businessman found out, he was so angry that he burned the old house on fire, and even burned his wife and the two daughters born to her to death. Mr. Ning must have guessed this! The wealthy businessman had always wanted to have a son, but his first wife had only given birth to two daughters in more than ten years. This made the wealthy businessman unhappy all the time. He finally found an outhouse and gave birth to a son, and now he was betrayed by his first wife. , and I don’t even know where it was sold.
In his anger, his whole family was burned to death. Before the wealthy businessman died, he sold the house to our Yahang, so our Yahang repaired the yard and planned to sell it. Go out, but people have died here before, and many people are unwilling to buy it. "
Ning Xiao didn't mind this and smiled.
"Manager Zhong, it seems you are honest. Let's see. I'll buy this house for seven hundred taels. If I agree to the eight hundred taels you said before, I'll be sorry for myself. What do you think? "
After listening to Ning Xiao's words, Manager Zhong immediately couldn't laugh or cry. He also knew that although Ning Xiao was joking, he was not at a loss. Although he had spent some money to repair the house, he just couldn't sell it for seven hundred taels. It's just making money, it's better than losing this house in your hands.
"Okay, let's talk about it then. Should Mr. Ning go to Yaxing to issue the deed now or...?"
Ning Xiao looked at the house again and said, "Forget the furniture and the like here, I don't want them anymore, but I need to buy new ones, so let's go to the dental shop first to apply for the deed, and then I hope Manager Zhong can help with it." I will take my attendant to buy furniture and the like."
Manager Zhong's house was sold and he was in a good mood, so he naturally agreed. Besides, their job was of a service nature, so they were naturally comfortable doing these things.
I came to Yahang to issue a deed, and under the leadership of Manager Zhong, I went to the Yamen to register the deed. In this case, Ningxiao could be considered to have his own house in the capital, and it could be considered to belong to a family in the capital.
Ning Xiao then returned to the inn, but Xiao Linzi followed Manager Zhong to busy with the furniture in the house.
Three days later, after the furniture was disposed of, Ning Xiao also moved from the inn to the house.
"Sir, we really want to live here, people have died here before!"
Ning Xiao glanced at Xiao Linzi and said.
"When have I ever been afraid of this? I have killed people before. Have you seen the ghost of the person I killed? Don't worry, I can control them."
Looking at the somewhat empty house, Ning Xiao realized that it was indeed a little too quiet for his master and servant to live here, and thought for a moment.
"Xiao Linzi, does Manager Zhong have any servants doing business?"
Xiao Linzi is also smart. When Ning Xiao asked this, he knew that the young master wanted to buy someone, so he said.
"Young Master, yes. Do you want to buy some servants?"
"Well, it's just the two of us living here. It's too quiet and not popular enough. It's better to buy a few servants. You know that your young master, I can't cook, and you can't either, and neither can we." You can’t eat out every day! There will always be a day when you get tired of eating!”
Finally, Xiao Linzi went to Yaxing, but within half an hour, Steward Zhong walked in with another steward and a group of servants.
Ning Xiao understood when he saw this. Nowadays, the people here are really rich, so he brought people to do business.
After being introduced by another steward, Ning Xiao selected eight servants. These eight people belonged to two families, one of which was a family of five.
The old man was about fifty years old, with gray hair and in good health. After Ning Xiao asked his name, he asked him to guard the concierge and clean the yard.
The old man’s surname is Chen, and his name is Chen Da. His son is called Chen Zhuang. He is in his thirties and can drive a carriage. This is what Ning Xiao hopes. He is about to buy a carriage. Now it’s good that the coachmen are in place. .
Chen Zhuang's daughter-in-law is good at Shu cuisine, which makes Ning Xiao even more happy. You must know that her favorite dish is Shu cuisine, it is delicious.
Chen Zhuang has two children, a boy and a girl. His son Chen Dalang is seventeen years old. Ning Xiao plans to let him follow him, be his follower, and serve him together with Xiao Linzi.
My daughter, Chen Xiaoya, is fourteen years old. She probably looks very thin because of her poor life. However, now that Ning Xiao is a man, it is not easy for a little girl to take care of her, so she is allowed to follow her mother in the kitchen. .
