Chapter 234: Viewing the House? Building a house?
Since she was going to go to see the house with Zhang Shou, early the next morning, Zhu Ying, who had always liked to sleep lazy, got up early as soon as she woke up. Pinshu.com She finished the breakfast sent to the room in three or two bites, and then brought the two girls Zhan Jin and Liuyin, who were cleaned up neatly - on weekdays, Mrs. Tai did not allow her to take the girls to swagger through the market, but today is different.
Zhan Jin and Liuyin will definitely follow her to Zhang's house in the future. In this case, of course, let them see how the house will be in the future, and help her and Zhang Shou come up with ideas by the way. On the contrary, Zhu Hong, who has always followed her on weekdays, and those guards, she didn't bring any of them today, so as not to be too dazzling when she went to see the house. For this reason, she and Zhan Jin Liuyin even changed into men's clothes.
However, she had just arrived at the back door with her two girls, but found that her second brother was leaning on the doorrail in a daze, and when she saw her, she immediately greeted her, with a smile on his face. As soon as she saw that attentive expression, she knew that people were definitely waiting for her.
Thinking of the past when the second brother wanted to pit her, Zhu Ying immediately became vigilant, "Second brother, what are you going to do?" β
"Good sister......" As soon as Zhu Er's words fell, he saw Zhu Ying take two steps back quickly, his eyes were full of vigilance, and he was secretly annoyed. Whenever he wants Zhu Ying to do something, it is often these three words as the beginning, and after coming and going, Zhu Ying has already seen through his little trick, and now it is even more difficult to deceive her.
"I'm just curious...... Ahem, curious about what house my future brother-in-law plans to buy. Of course, the most important thing is that after dinner last year, Zhu Er inquired in every possible way from Zhu Ying, and Zhu Er was finally convinced that the new textile machine that caused a lot of noise in the capital yesterday was made by Zhang Shou - he initially thought it was a rumor. Thinking of the benefits that Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu got from them, he was simply envious, jealous and hateful.
Such a good thing, Zhang Shou didn't take him, the future second uncle, too unjust!
"I'm curious, wait until Ah Shou and I have chosen a house, what are you anxious about now!" Zhu Ying glared at the second brother angrily, with an unquestionable tone. Seeing that Zhu Er was still not giving up, she suddenly realized, "I know, what are you curious, you must be complaining that Ah Shou is good and doesn't want you...... Don't worry, I told Ah Shou a long time ago, next time I have something good to bring you! β
After just a pause, Miss Zhu smiled evilly, "Besides, Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu will marry their daughters-in-law soon, if you don't make some money, how will you support your family in the future, you don't even have a letter for this marriage, what are you anxious about?" Besides, our family is not without money, how can you drill in the eyes of money? β
Zhu Er suddenly wanted to cry without tears. Our Zhu family is quite rich, but I am a poor bastard! All my savings can't afford to buy a piece of jewelry for your sister! Even a few jade pendants and the like were guarded by my grandmother's eldest girl, as if I was a loser and would sell things because I had no money to spend......
"Be obedient, stay at home well, and I'll pick a second sister-in-law for you when I go back!"
Zhu Ying's tone was like coaxing a child, but seeing Zhu Er's pitiful and obedient nodding, she thought that the emperor personally acted as a matchmaker for the second brother to Yin Wangjie's niece in Shuntian Mansion, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but show a slight smile.
Although Wang Jie's attitude at the beginning should be not very satisfied with the second brother's candidate, but the second brother has a thief's heart but not a thief's courage, and now he is much more restrained than before, if Zhang Shou can teach Zhang Chen Lu Saburo, as well as Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu, and polish the second brother, this marriage may have great hope. People like the second brother need to have a powerful daughter-in-law to take care of it!
Leaving the second brother who wanted to be a fart at home, Zhu Ying took Zhan Jin and Liuyin out of the back door, and came to Zhang's house next door without walking a few steps, seeing that Ah Liu had already set up the car at the door and was waiting there, she smiled and said hello to people, and when she was going in, she only heard Ah Liu ask, "Does the eldest lady like more people in the family or less people?" β
Zhu Ying knew that Ah Liu didn't like to talk in front of people, but every time she asked Ah Liu something, people always knew everything and said everything, and over time she got used to her special treatment. At this time, although she was a little strange about Ah Liu's question, she still thought about it carefully, and then said with a smile, "I don't think it matters how many people there are. β
Liuyin, who was on the side, couldn't help but interject, "But we have a lot of family, and there are so many people, doesn't Miss like to be lively the most?" β
"It's fun to be with your family. Our family wasn't a scum who ate inside and out before? Zhu Ying snorted angrily, and seeing that Liuyin suddenly didn't dare to make a sound, she looked at Ah Liu and said with a smile, "As long as they are people who know each other and know each other, it doesn't matter if there are many people or few people." However, after Ah Shou moved to a big house, the Zhang family always had to add some more people. β
"Otherwise, how can Ah Shou and Aunt Wu be busy?"
Just when Zhu Ying and Ah Liu were talking, Zhang Shou had already come out. Seeing Zhu Ying wearing men's clothes, wearing a sword, no fat powder on her face, she was heroic, and the Zhan Jin and Quicksilver with similar figures were also the same tight-fitting azure jacket like twin brothers, which actually showed a bit of fierceness, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Yingying, looking at your clothes, why do you seem to be going to charge into battle with me?" β
"Not to protect you? Who made you so capable, and so good at ...... Trouble? Zhu Ying whispered the word "causing trouble", but the corners of her eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles, "Besides, Zhu Hong and they don't follow, of course we can't be too ostentatious, we must keep a low profile." β
As soon as these words came out, Ah Liu got on the wheel and sat down solemnly, with a face that did not squint, as if to show that I agreed, and I didn't speak. And Liuyin and Zhan Jin glanced at each other, and their hearts were all muttering. If it is someone else's fiancΓ© who travels like this, of course it is low-key, the problem is that you don't look at your beautiful face, or look at your uncle's appearance!
Just the two of you walking together, that kind of amazing is that everyone has to look at it a few more times, where does it come from low-key?
Regardless of whether Zhang Shou believed Zhu Ying's low-key statement or not, the eldest lady was dressed up like this, of course he would not be picky about her dress, and immediately beckoned the three of them to get into the carriage. When he got to the car, he said, "I estimate that I will have to be a doctor for a few years, so I told Ah Liu before, try to buy a house in Beicheng, and look at three places today." β
As he spoke, he smiled and said, "Ah Liudu has already gone and looked at them one by one." He said that they were all two-way and three-entry mansions, and the former owner was also a court official, and later he was either a scholar, or an idle man, or because of the dismissal and demotion, etc., this mansion was vacant......"
Before he finished speaking, Zhu Ying immediately shouted, "Have there been officials who have been dismissed and demoted before? That's absolutely not good, it's so unlucky! By the way, I forgot a big thing, I should have asked a feng shui gentleman to come and see us as a family. Otherwise, if the feng shui is not good and affects Ah Shou's future, wouldn't it be a big disaster? β
Zhang Shou immediately smiled. Feng Shui is such a thing...... It is better to believe that it is there than to believe that it is not. After all, he himself has encountered the most mysterious thing in the world, so naturally he will no longer put the word superstition on his lips. But he didn't want a feng shui gentleman to come between him and Zhu Ying today, so he said casually, "Wait until we finish reading it first, and then invite Mr. Feng Shui to come and see it." β
As soon as the words fell, Ah Liu's voice came from outside, "No, I asked someone to see it." β
Hey? When did Ah Liu become so professional? Looking at the house and knowing to bring Mr. Feng Shui? Although this kid is very good at fighting, will he be fooled when it comes to looking at feng shui?
Zhang Shouzheng felt suspicious, but he only heard the young man driving outside add seriously, "Otherwise, what if you buy a ghost house?" β
Zhu Ying is okay, but Zhang Shou has personally experienced the old incident when Guan Qiu was grabbed by Xiao Cheng's feet and dragged out of the dog hole, and he couldn't help laughing. And Zhu Ying had also heard about the old incident, and immediately said angrily, "Ah Liu, those three houses are all Feng Shui, Mr. Feng Shui said to you, it's good?" You're not afraid of people scolding you! Besides, the house that Mr. Feng Shui praises endlessly, people may take the opportunity to raise the price! β
"No one can scold me." Ah Liu said this with extreme confidence, "Yaxing doesn't dare to raise the price indiscriminately!" β
In this kind of thing, the madman gave him a good example. With a bad reputation, it is much easier to do things in many cases. In order for others not to dare to calculate Zhang Shou and Zhu Ying in the future, it is necessary for him to be fierce...... Of course, you have to take in a few people, and when the family grows up in the future, just such a small number of people is definitely not enough.
You can't let the family be filled with people from the Zhao Guogong Mansion in the future, so will it be the Zhu family or the Zhang family at that time?
"Ah Liu is so domineering!" Zhu Ying didn't know that Ah Liu had so many thoughts in her heart, and her eyes narrowed with a smile at this time, "Then it's up to you, when Ah Shou and I see the house, it's up to you to make a deal or something, Ah Shou is smart, but he doesn't have that time, God knows that those traitors won't cheat people!" β
"Good!" Ah Liu promised categorically, "With me here, don't worry, eldest lady!" β
Don't say that Zhang Shou listened to it sideways, thinking about who you are this kid. Even Zhan Jin and Liuyin couldn't help but secretly laugh when they heard Ah Liu's words with distinct tendencies. Not to mention that Ah Liu is still the master who teaches the second young master martial arts, Mrs. Tai specially instructed the second young master to call people the sixth brother, and said that Ah Liu quietly learned the swordsmanship of Mrs. Tai, which is very powerful.
But such a taciturn young master, like his uncle, is obedient to the eldest lady!
Then everyone gossiped all the way, and when the carriage finally stopped, Zhu Ying lifted the curtain and found that it was a rather quiet alley, and she couldn't help but flicker her eyes. When she got off the station first, she couldn't help but look at the white walls and black tiles, and gradually frowned.
"This seems to be the style of that place in Huizhou...... Could it be that the family who originally lived here was from Huizhou? Could it be that he built the house himself, and didn't buy it from the previous owner? β
Zhang Shou also recognized the horse head wall that was at least four people high, and said with a smile, "Nine times out of ten, this is the case." β
Because the salt industry is not monopolized now, and the imperial court is still effective in the border Tuntian under the iron-fisted supervision, so the Hui merchants in this year did not monopolize the salt industry like the Ming and Qing dynasties in the previous life, and the rich side was on the one side, but they still showed outstanding talent in operating the silver village money number and various other businesses.
What's more, Hui people are good at reading, and this dynasty is still the same, and the number of Jinshi in the annual examination of Nanzhili is always in the top three in Huizhou. In this case, among the Beijing officials, the Hui people are naturally a large group.
I don't know how Ah Liu agreed with Yaxing, but after Zhang Shou, Zhu Ying, and Zhan Jin Liuyin got out of the car, he stepped forward with the key to open the door. But as soon as the door was opened, the others were gradually taken aback. Ah Liu held two keys in his hand, first opened a heavy iron-clad wooden door, and then a second wooden door, and after entering, everyone found that there were two pits on the bluestone ground, according to Ah Liu, it was actually a wooden column used to place the top door!
The anti-theft measures are so complete that the gold and silver can't help but be amazed.
However, Zhu Ying couldn't help but raise her head to look at the narrow patio overhead, her face was full of embarrassment, "It's such a high wall, and it's a two-story house, the patio is actually so narrow, this light is too dark, right?" Although the north is sunny and rainy, once the sky is cloudy, won't the house be lit up in broad daylight? β
Zhan Jin couldn't help but whisper, "Miss, our house also lights up during the day...... "It's not that you can't afford to light it!"
Zhu Ying glared at Zhan Jin angrily, "But the smallest patio in our family is also three or four times the size of this patio!" Anyway, why should the wall be built so high, and the patio is only so small, it feels too depressing! β
As soon as Zhang Shou heard Zhu Ying's tone, he knew that the eldest lady's personality and temper were the same as the boxy, wide and bright patio of Zhao Guogong's mansion, and she should not like this Hui style building with a distinctive local style.
He had a good impression of the white wall and tile, and immediately motioned for Ah Liu to take Zhu Ying to take a casual look, and when Zhu Ying saw several exquisite wood carvings, the initial pickiness turned into surprise, and he explained with a smile, "There are many businessmen in Huizhou, and there are many officials, and the men in the family are officials or go into business, often there are only old and weak women and children in the family. β
"As for the high wall that you dislike that blocks the light, it can not only prevent theft, but also prevent fire......" Zhang Shou continued to explain a few words, and when he turned his head again, he found that Zhu Ying was muttering to Zhan Jin Liuyin.
And in the end, Zhu Ying gave him an expected answer: "The house is quite big, and those wood carvings are really beautiful, which shows how careful the previous owner was when he built the house, but I don't like high walls, besides, even if you are not there, there is still me at home, which robber dares to hit the door?" Well, Ah Shou, let's take a look at another one! β
However, after looking at the second and third houses, Zhu Ying picked out more faults. After all, the back garden of Zhao Guogong's Mansion was redesigned and renovated according to her requirements, which shows her vision, and now she is a few years older than she was at the beginning, these houses that have been lived in by Sipin officials are naturally limited, how can she look at it?
When she finally got into the car depressed, she suddenly looked at Zhang Shou seriously, "Ah Shou, why don't we buy a piece of land, draw the drawings ourselves, and hire someone to build a house!" The two of us work together, slow work and fine work! β
Zhang Shou was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but laugh dumbly. People are both husband and wife engaged in decoration, they are husband and wife building houses?
