13 Mink Street

The driver of Allen's family sent Karen and others to a gas station in the suburbs. At the urging of Alfred, the driver drove back to the manor.

There are small supermarkets and fast food restaurants near the gas station, and Karen chose one. Because she brought cats and dogs, she chose a corner to sit down.

Four cups of coffee were brought up first, and Pu'er leaned over to take a sip first, and spit out the cat's tongue with some dissatisfaction: Hmph, it tastes cheap and instant.

Karen reached out and patted Pu'er's head, saying:

"I can't believe that Diss made you coffee when you were at Inmeles' house."

Pu'er pouted and turned her head.

The eldest lady has just lived at home for a while, and has enjoyed high-standard treatment at home. It is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.

Soon, three simple meals were served.

The difference between this simple meal and rice bowl is that it does not put vegetables on the rice.

Rice, with fried chicken nuggets and a thick tomato sauce soup on the side.

Alfred chose the same simple meal as Karen, and Golden Retriever Kevin gave him three big burgers with double meat;

As for Pu'er, it is a light eel meal, the most expensive of all the set meals.

It’s just that Pu’er was very painful to eat. It’s not that it was deliberately picking on the thorns again, but that Karen also smelled the fishy smell from Pu’er’s meal. It is estimated that few people ordered this set meal, so the ingredients were not fresh. Or, the boss himself forgot how to cook the damn eel.

However, Karen felt that the fried chicken nuggets in front of her tasted pretty good. Although the tomato sauce soup wrapped in rice tasted a bit strangely sweet and sour, it just neutralized the greasyness of the fried chicken nuggets.

Although it might be hypocritical to think this way, Karen really felt that this meal was much more delicious than the exquisite meals of the Allen family that Alfred brought in on time every day.

The chef of Allen Manor cooks authentic Wein aristocratic cuisine, which is to put all kinds of precious ingredients into nutritious meals in front of you;

You will not have the feeling of enjoying food, but will have a clear understanding of which nutrients your body needs in this meal.

After lunch, Karen and the others walked out of the fast food restaurant. A blue "Pens" car was parked at the exit of the gas station in front. It was an old model, and it should be second-hand. business.

"It's the broker's car." Alfred said.

Because Karen didn't want to stay in the hotel, Alfred simply called and asked an agent to come pick him up and wait for someone to look at the house.

The intermediary is a middle-aged man with a slightly fat body and a round face but not greasy.

After he graciously helped put the luggage in the car, he bypassed Alfred who had been in direct contact with him, and handed his business card to Karen.

"It is my honor to serve you."

Karen picked up his business card and glanced at it. The name was: Alaye Qiu.

The position is: General Manager of Blue Bridge Real Estate Agency in York City.

Intuitively, Karen felt that there should not be many branches of the Blue Bridge real estate agency.

"Mr. Qiu..."

"You can call me Alaye directly."

"Alaye, thank you for your hard work." Karen smiled.

"You are being polite."

Alfred was still in the co-pilot position, and Karen sat in the back with a cat and a dog.

"This is the list I made based on your needs. You can see which houses you plan to see first." Alaye handed a printed list to Karen.

Karen took it and glanced at it. He has a habit of looking at the larger ones first.

It's just a pity that there are seven in the list, and the largest area is ninety square meters.

Of course, ninety square meters is not too small, but I live in a single-family villa in Luojia City, and I live in a single-family castle in Allen Manor. It is inevitable that I will feel a little uncomfortable when I return to "normal" all of a sudden.

The seven houses on the list are all second-hand houses, no new houses, and the prices are all within a certain range. Obviously, Alfred has already told Alaye about his requirements before.

Karen is not interested in decorating the new house for the time being, but hopes to move in as soon as possible.

There was also a hand-painted floor plan in the list, and Karen looked at the floor plan carefully again.

"Aleigh."

"You ask."

"This house in the tree-lined community has an attic?"

"Yes, sir, the attic is a free area, but that attic is not big, and there is only one desk for people to sit on. When walking, you have to bend down, which will give people a feeling of depression.

So I don't really recommend you to choose this set, because you don't have children. If you have children, this room is very suitable to be a children's room first. "

"really."

After learning that it was not a building within a building, Karen's interest in the house faded.

"Do you want a larger sense of space?" Asked Alaye, who was observing Karen's expression through the rearview mirror while driving.

"Yes, I wish it was more spacious, even in terms of feel."

"If this is the case, then it is difficult for the houses on my list to meet your requirements. Their areas are not very large. The main reason is that these houses are all in high-end communities. As you know, housing prices and the quality of the community Clearly hook up.

However, some communities are actually quite clean and tidy, and the public security is also very good, and the quality of the residents inside is also very good. Although they are not as high-end communities, and the commuting time is a bit long, I think the price/performance ratio is very good, and the house price will be higher. Cheaper and more choices.

I misunderstood the request you gave me earlier. I thought you were planning to make an investment. Now it seems that you want to live by yourself because you brought your luggage and pets with you. "

"Yes, I want to live in it myself. I don't plan to consider investment for the time being."

"Do you need to go to work? I feel that your work is not particularly stressful for commuting."

"There is no pressure in this regard for the time being."

"Then let me recommend it to you again..." Alaye stopped the car by the side of the road, and took out another list from his briefcase, which still contained a photo.

Karen took it and took a look, and found that it was a five-story apartment. According to the hand-painted drawings, the house was on the third floor, and it was a typical building within a building.

Alaye turned around, looked at Karen and introduced:

"The single-floor area of ​​this house is not very large, but it has two floors. The public stairs are on the outer walls on both sides, and the house is on the side, so it is very convenient to go up and down. At the same time, the third and fourth floors can be used as bays to enter.

In addition, the balcony also has your exclusive area, which is allocated by default by the residents living on the top floor. The previous owner built a flower bed and a sun room on the top floor, and these will be kept.

In addition, as you can see from the photos, although the furniture is not new, it is well maintained. These furniture can be negotiated for a very good price and bought for future use, which is convenient for you to live in directly.

The house type is also very good, and the lighting is no problem. The internal structure is the kitchen and a room on the first floor, and the study and a room on the second floor. There is a lot of space. If you need, you can separate a room upstairs and downstairs. Come.

And it is not far from big supermarkets, pedestrian streets, and movie theaters. The only problem is that there is no tram station nearby. "

"So you mean, it's not far from places like supermarket pedestrian street, you mean by car?"

Alaye showed a smile on his face, nodded and said: "Yes, you are right, driving is very convenient, but public transportation is not perfect due to some problems left over from history."

"The name of this community is... Blue Bridge Community?"

"Yes, that's right, my company is in this community, just across a small road from the apartment you saw."

"What about the price?"

"You don't have to worry about the price. According to the budget you gave in advance, you can fully reduce it by half, and this is still on the basis of keeping the furniture.

The son of the former owner works in a colonial development company, and now he has a small estate of his own in the colony. The former owner and his wife have already gone to his son, and they entrusted me to sell the house. "

"So trust you?"

"Of course, you can inquire about it in the Lanqiao community. I don't have to talk about my popularity and character."

"Then go and have a look."

"OK."

Alaye excitedly restarted the car.

Alfred asked him with some doubts: "Which intermediary company do you belong to?"

"It's like this, sir, I have a small agency of my own, but I usually work for a big agency because they have high-end houses in their hands.

You called to ask them to come and receive you. They probably thought it was troublesome, so they passed the job to me. "

Hearing this, Alfred immediately turned to Karen who was sitting in the back seat and said:

"Master, I was negligent."

Alaye, who heard this, still kept smiling.

Karen shook his head and said, "I think Alaye is very careful."

"Thank you for your affirmation, young master." Alaye immediately changed his address to Karen.

The location of Lanqiao Community is not too remote. If you judge it according to the concept of Karen's previous life, it probably belongs to the location of the third ring road.

The position of the third ring of the capital of an empire is already quite good.

It’s just a little embarrassing that the city of York is not presented in a way of spreading out from the center of the circle. Its most prosperous area, the so-called downtown business circle, is next to the port, that is, by the sea;

And the third ring in Lanqiao Community is just at the westernmost position, so this "third ring" has a lot of moisture.

When the car drove in, Karen saw many small vendors in shantytowns on the side of the road, and they looked very lively. Because each shantytown was planned and designed, it didn't look messy, but it seemed very organized.

In addition, Karen also saw many men and women wearing workers' clothes walking on the street.

"Is there a factory here?" Karen asked.

"Master, there are several textile factories nearby. Don't worry, there is no chimney pollution. This place can be called the place with the best air in York City."

After going deeper, many people on the side of the road greeted Alaye proactively, and Alaye rolled down the car window to respond to them. Obviously, his popularity in the local area is really good.

Finally, the car stopped in front of a paved house with a sign "Blue Bridge Real Estate Agency" on it.

The door was unlocked, and a woman inside was teaching a child to do their homework. It should be Alaiye's wife and son.

After Alaye got out of the car, he waved to them first, and did not go in to speak, but led Karen and others who got out of the car to cross the road.

The luggage was left in the car first. Because there were more precious notes, the golden retriever took care of them.

Karen hugged Pu'er with Alfred, and followed Alaye across the road. This apartment complex in this place is highlighted with a sense of luxury. There are six buildings inside, and there are security guards at the door.

Alaye went up to say hello to the security guard, and then came back to lead Karen and the others in. The greenery inside was not bad, but there was no underground parking lot. Fortunately, there was a lot of open space on the ground, so parking was not troublesome.

"The developer of this apartment complex is the Allen Consortium. Although the Allen Consortium is not the largest developer in York City, they have always paid attention to brand and word of mouth."

Hearing "Allen Consortium", Karen and Alfred looked at each other subconsciously;

But it should be just a coincidence, because Karen reminded Bader, and Bader also promised not to secretly interfere in giving away the house, and it is impossible for him to be so stupid as to be disgusting.

It can only be said that the Allen Consortium's family has a big business, and it happened to be a coincidence that I came across it.

From the side stairs to the third floor, Alaye took out the key and opened the door. After walking in, he found that the inside was very clean, and the decoration and furniture arrangement gave people a very comfortable feeling.

Pu'er also wagged its tail, obviously it also felt good unexpectedly.

The first floor is a small kitchen, a small living room, a bedroom and a bathroom.

The tableware in the kitchen and the bedding in the bedroom were not removed, they were all kept.

"I suggested to the original owner, try to keep as much as possible, anyway, they can't take it away, and they can't sell it at any price. It's better to keep it all to leave a better impression on the guests who inspect the house, and then negotiate the price. more convenient.”

Karen nodded and walked up to the second floor with Pu'er in his arms.

The stairs are revolving. After going up, there is a small tea seat with chairs and coffee tables. Going further inside is the master bedroom. The window of the master bedroom faces south, it is very spacious, and the color system is mainly brown.

After exiting, Karen walked into the opposite study. The window of the study faced north, and the desk, bookcase, floor lamp, sofa bed, etc. were all well arranged.

It can be seen that the original owner is a very stylish person.

"Are books included?" Karen asked.

"The original owner of the house has already taken away all the books he wanted to take away, and left the rest. You know, old books... can't be sold for much money, haha."

Karen pulled out the chair behind the desk and sat down.

Subconsciously opened the central drawer under the desk, it was empty except for a letter.

"Is this a letter from the original owner?" Karen asked.

"Yes, for the next owner."

Karen picked up the envelope. The letter had been opened a long time ago. After opening it, it was found that several people should have read it. It should be the tenant who had inspected the house before.

"Dear unknown friend:

Thank you for your willingness to use your life to continue to warm this house of mine. I have a lot of affection for this house, because it carries the best memory of my life, my wife and my son..."

Many of the words in the middle are the original owner's description of himself and the story of the house, as well as some details of life and furnishings. Karen glanced at it hastily.

Until the last concluding blessing,

Karen stared slightly,

Because the blessing left by the original owner is:

May the light forever infiltrate your life and protect your faith.

In Mr. Huofen's notes, there are many records about the God of Light, which are all taboo contents;

Karen remembered that it was similar to how he chanted before using the God of Order spell: Great God of Order...

There is a similar paragraph in the singing mode of the Light God Sect, that is: Great God of Light, may you come down to light, infiltrate my life, and protect my most loyal belief in you...

Later, you can pick up the elementary spells.

So, did the original homeowner read similar words somewhere and just write them down and like to use them, or did the original homeowner believe in the God of Light?

But at least it can be confirmed that this house has nothing to do with the Allen family. They dare not touch the taboo of the Light God Sect, let alone make fun of it.

However, other clergy may feel extremely taboo about this;

But Karen is an exception. After all, there is a grandfather in the family who likes to call the God of Order that he was raised by a prostitute.

It doesn't matter whether the original owner is a believer of the Guangming God or not. The main thing is that Karen likes this house type and the decoration.

As for travel, Alfred can go to the second-hand car market to buy another car, which is not expensive anyway.

"I want to go to the roof to have a look again."

"Of course, of course, please, go up here."

Karen went to the roof. The illegal construction on the roof is very serious. Basically, every resident on the roof has a piece of land enclosed. Therefore, the privacy is very good. The location of the roof of Karen and the neighbor next door are built with bricks. wall.

In the north, there are many potted plants.

"The potted plants were also left by the original owner, and my wife and I were responsible for watering them during these days."

Karen nodded, and opened the door of the sun room. The space inside is not very big. There is a small tea table and two wicker chairs. In the southernmost corner, there is a seesaw horse that children like to play. Children can sit on it. swing back and forth;

This should be a toy of the old couple's son when he was a child, because the paint on the wooden horse has long since faded away, leaving only a few mottled spots.

It can be seen that the former owner and his wife liked to lie here and bask in the sun while watching their children play on the wooden horse. However, the roof of the sun room is now covered with a black cloth, and it looks a little dark inside.

Alfred touched the glass door and said doubtfully:

"Master, this glass material seems to be a bit special."

Pu'er jumped up from Karen's embrace, stretched out his paws, and scratched with his paws on the glass above. After landing, he looked at his paws with some doubts.

"Is there a problem?" Karen asked about the danger.

"No." Alfred said.

"Meow." Pu'er also wagged his tail.

"Master, let me tear off the cloth for you to feel it?" Alaye asked.

"sorry to bother you."

"It's okay, young master. You can see that there are four hooks on the outer wall of the sun room. Usually, the cloth is fixed like this. There are two ropes here. Pulling one rope pulls the cloth off, and pulling the other rope pulls the cloth back into place. Cover it back up again."

As Alaye spoke, he pulled a rope, and the black cloth was torn off.

The soft afternoon sun shone in, but after being refracted by the glass, Karen only felt as if the strong sunlight in the early morning was directly shining on him. When he was caught off guard, Karen was a little dazed, so he could only raise his arms subconsciously to block it. ;

Under the cover of his arm, Karen looked at the wooden horse in the front corner. Under this light angle, the remaining color of the wooden horse was completely lost, leaving only a dark shadow;

It looks like a person is kneeling before you.
