Wen Family Has a Wife

Old Zhu was staring at the side, seeing his expression, he hurried over to take a look, and explained: "Young master, the houses I have on hand are all recorded separately. For the first-class houses, record one volume, for example, ten The houses on Fang Lane and Bao Fang Lane are all in one booklet, and the middle-class houses that are slightly inferior to the first-class houses are in another book. They are all Yongning Lane, Wuning Lane, and Cining Lane. There are many lower-class houses, there is a large area of ​​lower-class houses in the south of the city, and there is a circle of lower-class houses in the north of the city near the middle city, and these are in another volume.

First-class houses are second-class houses, and second-class houses are also differentiated. Houses like mine are only second-class houses, and houses that are worse than my house are third-class houses. There are too many third-class houses. On some brochures, the listings for the small ones are the ones my house is the worst, and the best ones are of course the top ones.

However, not everyone can buy the first-class and middle-class houses, but they are all in the middle city, where all the relatives of the emperor and officials of the fourth rank and above live there, people with unknown identities and unscrupulous backgrounds Can't even step in. "

Wen Yuanhong was confused, and couldn't help asking: "If this is the case, why would anyone buy and sell houses in Midtown?"

Lao Zhu chuckled and explained: "As long as the official rank reaches the fourth rank, he is eligible to live in Zhongcheng, but the status of the fourth rank official is the lowest in Midtown, so the house he lives in is not much better, unless the family is rich, so he can live in it." Replace it with a better big house. If someone plans to do so, my business will come! Besides, the house in Midtown is not to mention expensive, but it is hard to come by. As long as I make a deal, I can do it for several months. Not open anymore."

That is, in front of Zhuo Qianxun, otherwise Lao Zhu would not be so honest.

Everyone understood, Wen Yuanliang looked at Wen Yuanhong, and muttered in a low voice: "It seems that we can only choose from the house behind the first class."

Wen Yuanhong didn't care much, "As long as the place is spacious, convenient to travel, and comfortable to live in, doesn't your Yue family also live in the outer city?"

Wen Yuanliang subconsciously looked at Zhuo Qianxun.

Zhuo Qianxun curled his lips in dissatisfaction, "What's wrong with living in an outer city? This is low-key! Do you understand low-key!"

The two nodded at the same time and stopped talking to Zhuo Qianxun.

Wen Yuanliang and Lao Zhu asked: "What kind of house is this inferior house, and what is the price?"

Lao Zhu's eyes lit up, he hurriedly took a small stool, sat down between Wen Yuanliang and his brothers, and said, "Of course this low-class house can't compare with the first-class house, but it can't compare with the first-class house." It’s not bad, the difference is that one is in the middle city and the other is in the outer city. I think some lower-class houses are better than the first-class houses, such as those in Chu’an Lane, Liu’an Lane, Qi’an Lane and Jing’an Lane in the south of the city. The house, this area is on the edge of the city wall, separated from the central city by a wall. Most of the people live there are aristocratic families and rich and small officials. The law and order is very good, and the house is also spacious.

They are all five-entry courtyards, one big garden with three small gardens, all kinds of pavilions and pavilions, and there are thirty or forty courtyards, large and small. Such houses are about 35,000 to 40,000 taels. "

Thirty-five thousand to forty thousand taels? Wen Yuanliang frowned slightly. It was almost 10,000 taels more than he expected. It's not that he couldn't afford it, but after buying such a house, it might not be enough to set up a Zhuangzi or a shop.

Wen Yuanhong also knew about this situation, so he hurriedly asked, "What about the second-class house?"

Lao Zhu took a sip of water, and then said: "Naturally, the second-class mansions are much smaller than the lower-class mansions. There are four courtyards, twenty-three yards, and one less garden. The rest are not much different. His house is about 20,000 taels, and the location is next to the next-class house.

Middle and second-class houses are widely distributed. There are houses in the south of the city and north of the city. The three-entry house has two gardens and more than a dozen courtyards. For good and bad people, newer ones will be more expensive. If it takes a long time to build and older ones, you may be able to get them for eight or nine thousand taels.

The last is the second-class house, like my house, you can see the front yard, and there is an entrance yard in the back, there are five small yards inside, my family has a small population, grandparents, parents, wives and children, It’s spacious to live in, and the house is half-new and not old. If it’s for sale, it’s about seven or eight thousand taels, and it’s five or six thousand taels older than my house. "

After Lao Zhu reported the price, everyone was silent. He knew that every inch of land in the capital was expensive, but he didn't expect it to be so expensive. The capital city of Dizhou is only seven or eight hundred taels at most, but the capital city is more than ten times higher. How do they choose?

Zhuo Qianxun also knew that they could not make up their minds for a while, so he said to Lao Zhu: "Write down what you just said, and we will take it home to discuss and discuss it. If there is a good location and a good house, and you are eager to sell it, you can lower the price." house, you go and find me again."

Old Zhu complied obediently, and quickly gave each of Wen Yuanliang a piece of paper with densely written words on it. It seemed that he had already prepared.

Wen Yuanliang had to treat Lao Zhu differently.

After returning from Mao'er Lane, Wen Yuanliang immediately went back to discuss with Zhuo Qianyu behind closed doors.

"My lady, how do we choose this house? I prefer the next-class house. I bought it once and for all, but the price is much higher than I expected. If I buy this house, won't it be enough to buy property later?" Wen Yuanliang was most worried The only thing is this, and of course there is another point that he doesn't know how much money Zhuo Qianyu brought out besides the gold leaves, because he didn't know what to do, he didn't dare to answer directly just now.

Zhuo Qianyu took out his leather jacket, and kept digging it out from the interlayer. Seeing Wen Yuanliang raised his eyebrows, he couldn't help asking: "You brought out our family's wealth?"

Zhuo Qianyu rolled his eyes at him, "How is that possible! I think, I have to have that ability! These banknotes were given by my parents when we went to Fucheng when we got married, and I'm useless!"

It's not that she doesn't want to use it, it's that there is no place to use the money at all, and she has been saving it all the time, plus the income from those shops and Zhuangzi, there are so many.

The husband and wife counted one by one, and Wen Yuanliang couldn't help exclaiming after finishing the calculation: "There are fifty thousand taels here too!"

Zhuo Qianyu smiled complacently, "Fortunately, I had the foresight to bring some more out. Now we have almost 150,000 taels on us, so we gritted our teeth and bought the next-class house. I will discuss it with my second sibling. , if we can buy it together, keep the price down, and use the extra money to buy Zhuangzi and shops, and save 20,000 to 30,000 taels for later use."
