Behind me is the earth

"Sir, look at this location. It's the best location in Qingcheng Town. In front of it is Ping'an Fang Street, which is the busiest on weekdays. You see, the streets are wide and paved with bluestones. There is no soil on sunny days and no mud on rainy days. They can be side by side. Get away, there are three or two large carriages!"

There are a lot of people on the street, and there are also a lot of vendors walking around hawking. There are people carrying candied haws on their backs; there are people pushing baked sweet potato carts; there are also people making candy on the west side of the courtyard gate. .

The candy maker saw Ren Pingsheng and several people coming to see the house. There was envy in his eyes, but also a bit of timidity. He seemed to be wondering if he would be evicted after the house was sold.

"Look at this set of yards. It was originally a house built by the former minister of the Ministry of War in this home county. Later, the house gradually fell into neglect and the land was sold off. Now the whole family has long moved to Qingshui County, and the home yard cannot be maintained. After living there, he entrusted me to sell it on his behalf.

You see, this gate opens in the middle. No matter how rich the people are, the gates built to enter the courtyard can only be opened in the southeast. "

The mustache opened the door, and what faced him was the carved screen wall, which looked quite exquisite and beautiful.

"There are seven inverted rooms on both sides."

The front yard is not big, and the rooms are relatively narrow. They are separated by walls and are divided into four large and small yards, connected by moon gates. They are mainly occupied by the concierge, servants and guardians.

Going around the screen wall, there are two more vermilion doors. This is the hanging flower door.

After passing through the hanging flower gate, Ren Pingsheng came into view of a large courtyard. On the ground were exquisitely cut stone bricks, each of the same size, with patterns such as cranes and auspicious clouds engraved on them.

On both sides of the hanging flower door are hand-painted verandahs, and on the left and right are the east and west wing rooms. The one facing north and south is the main room where the owner lives.

In front of the main house, there are two pomegranate trees that have been planted for who knows how many years. Their branches are thick and well-pruned.

"Master, look at this pomegranate tree. In spring, the red pomegranate flowers bloom all over the tree. That definitely symbolizes your day, which is booming!"

Ren Pingsheng entered the north room and took a look. The room was spacious. The winter sunlight filtered in through the window lattice, illuminating the room brightly. Dust rose and fell in the beam.

"This house is lacking a lot."

Ren Pingsheng said.

"Isn't that right? After this family fell into decline, a lot of their property was sold off. What a pity for those good homes!"

The mustache said sadly.

"Let's go and look behind us."

Ren Pingsheng walked out of the main room. Along the way, I looked at the beautifully carved house, which had reliefs of flowers and birds, as well as rare and exotic animals. But the doors, windows and pillars were more pleasing to the eye than works of art.

Bypassing the penthouse on one side, you have arrived at the third courtyard at the back. The third courtyard is often the residence of the female relatives of the family.

As soon as I got here, the sounds on Ping'an Street in front were completely lost. My ears were quiet and I only felt a deep darkness.

Perhaps what the poem says about how deep the courtyard is refers to the third house.

Standing in the third courtyard, the two-story ear rooms and back rooms, under the high-walled courtyard, give people a deep feeling of isolation from the world.

There are two osmanthus trees in the yard, one with green bamboo. You can imagine that when the osmanthus blooms, the whole yard will be filled with the fragrance of osmanthus.

“The layout of this house originally had two spans across the east and west courtyards, but the descendants were unscrupulous and could not be preserved. The land was bought and leveled to build a courtyard.

Otherwise, visiting the Garden Theater and listening to music would definitely be more interesting! "

The mustache shook his head, as if immersed in that artistic conception.

"Tell me, how much does this courtyard cost?"

The group returned to the main room and sat down.

Ren Pingsheng was very satisfied with the house. Compared with the adobe house in Liujiacun, this house was in the sky and on the ground.

Even the house on Earth, excluding the household appliances and smart homes, is much worse than this house!

However, Ren Pingsheng did not show it on the surface.

"360 taels of silver."

The mustache spoke softly, his eyes glancing at Ren Pingsheng's expression without trace.

"How is it possible, do you think this is a county town? Or a provincial town? You have such evil intentions and you still dare to sell us 360 taels of silver?"

Liu Shu slapped the table and said dissatisfiedly to his mustache.

Ren Pingsheng sat on the chair calmly, reached out and took out two silver ingots to play with.

He only has a rough grasp of the prices of goods in this world, so he does not participate in price bargaining.

The silver ingot on the left hand was earned from selling goods at noon.

A silver ingot on the right hand is even more translucent, and the silver is really beautiful.

This one was bought by Ren Pingsheng on Earth, and it has laser moiré patterns on it.

Whether it is the purity of the silver or the processing technology, it is much better than the silver ingots in this world.

When he was in Liujiacun, Ren had never seen the appearance of silver ingots in this world.

Now when you compare the two ingots of silver together in your hands, the difference becomes even more obvious.

A discerning person can tell at a glance that the value of silver on earth is much higher than the value of silver in this world.

No matter where it is, currency is something that society and the government pay great attention to.

The huge difference in craftsmanship between the two kinds of silver makes it easy for the government and interested people to spot it.

Ren Pingsheng does not plan to let the earth's silver in his hand circulate in the short term.

I heard that Liu Shu and Mustache Hu had already raised the house price to 310 taels of silver.

Ren Pingsheng put away the money and just looked at his mustache lightly: "The house is good, and I also have money, but I am not willing to spend the money on things other than the value of the house itself."

The mustached man was a little uncomfortable being stared at by Ren Pingsheng, whose gaze was very firm and steady, and he felt a little pressure when he continued to stare at her.

Finally, the mustache gritted his teeth: "280 taels of silver, this is already the lowest price! If it weren't for the lack of furniture, there would be no way it could be sold at this price.

You also know that there are living corpses everywhere outside now. Although our Qingcheng Town is not a county town, the city wall is stronger than the county town!

Nowadays, there are floods in the neighboring province, and wars continue in the north. Prices have risen rapidly, and one tael of silver can no longer buy 300 kilograms of rice.

The price of such a good house cannot be lower! This price is the bottom line the homeowner told me.

No matter how low it is, even if the current housing market is not very good, the owner will not sell it at this price! "

Ren Pingsheng tapped his fingers on the table twice, raised his head and glanced at Liu Shu, who also nodded lightly towards Ren Pingsheng.

"Okay, I bought this house!"

For 280 taels of silver, Ren would not hesitate to buy such a satisfying mansion.

"okay!"

The mustache slapped his thigh: "It has to be me, it's so happy!"

He said and took out a deed: "Master, this is the deed that has been filed in the Yamen. You only need to pay a deposit of 10 taels of silver and sign and pledge it, and the key will be handed over to you today.

Just wait for you to hand over the subsequent money to the homeowner, the homeowner will pay the deed tax, and both parties sign the contract. When the house deed is handed over to you, the house will be officially handed over.

As for the bills issued by the county government in the future, I will deliver them to you. "

In his opinion, the man in front of him was very wealthy, so of course he had to be fawned over.

thanks for your support! Welcome all old friends!
