There are so many belongings, so don't be arrogant.

Fang Ya smiled and said, "What about the east of the city?" It's Dongmen Street, Tangmen Street, where ordinary people live and poor people, as a forest official, is it appropriate to live here? ”

Lin Yanchao said with a smile: "The east of the city is the east of the city, our family used to be poor people, I think it doesn't matter if you live in the west of the city and the east of the city, the most important thing is to live comfortably." ”

Lin Yanchao's words meant, don't choose any aristocratic community, ace property, first-class security, we ordinary people just choose a house to live comfortably.

Fang Ya said with a smile: "The little official is true, but don't look at the east of the city as an ordinary family, but there is a great enjoyment." ”

When everyone saw Fang Ya, they couldn't help but ask, "What enjoyment?" ”

Fang Ya smiled and said, "It's a matter of selling you here, everyone knows what is the happiest thing for the official family?" ”

"When the title of the gold list was inscribed, the cave room spent candle nights, and the big Dengke was followed by the small Dengke! There is also the old acquaintance in a foreign land. Lin Yanchao smiled and said, he had heard of it.

Fang Ya nodded and said: "Yes, yes, but we ordinary people, the poor don't pay so much attention, and the title of the gold list can't be counted on for a lifetime, but we also have four great pleasures, do you know what they are?" ”

Lin Yanchao said: "Listen up." ”

Fang Ya said with a smile: "One of the four great pleasures of our people is to sneeze, you must be anxious, ha, you say that you are not happy." ”

Third uncle, Lin Yanchao nodded with a smile and said, "Well said, happy." ”

"The second pleasure is to pick up the ears, refreshing or not?"

The third uncle asked, "What about the third music?" ”

"The third music, solve the internal emergency, smooth or not?"

Several women covered their mouths and laughed, and Lin Yanchao also laughed and scolded: "Tear your mouth, be serious, don't pollute the ears of the female dependents." ”

Fang Ya said with a smile: "The words are vulgar and offended, and the last pleasure is to take a hot soup bath!" ”

Only then did everyone suddenly understand: "What you are talking about is soaking in hot soup!" "Soaking in hot soup is a common saying in Fujian, that is, soaking in hot springs.

"That's right, you said that there was a Huaqing Pond in Chang'an in ancient times, when the emperor was the emperor, he had to run outside the city to wash a hot soup, but we can do it in the city, Tangmen, when the King of Min first built Luocheng, he dug out the ground soup here, so it was called Tangmen. The folk soup washed by the people near the soup gate, and the official soup washed by the official family. ”

"You said that the mansions in the world are much more prosperous than ours, but being able to wash hot soup in this city is the only one in the world, and you say that it is a blessing."

Everyone laughed and said, "The east of the city is very good." ”

"Okay," Fang Ya also smiled proudly, the marketing was successful, and he took the thin paper and turned over at the moment, "There are just a few suitable ones for you, let's take you to see them." ”

There are seven gates of the provincial capital, there are Jinglou Gate and Tang Gate in the northeast of the city, there is the East Gate in the east, and there is the water department in the southeast.

The water department, there are six lanes in the east and west, which are Dezheng Bridge Lane, Dongzha Lane, Hewu Lane, Junqiao Lane, Hou'an Lane, and Dengyingfang Lane.

Dengyingfang Lane is the residence of Chen Chengzhi, the champion of the Northern Song Dynasty, formerly known as Jiuxianfang, because it is close to Jiuxianshan, Chen Chengzhi's high school champion was renamed Dengyingfang. Lin Yanchao took a fancy to a house in Dengyingfang Lane, which was close to the water department.

Dengyingfang Lane is now down, and it has long since lost the appearance of the former residence of the champion, but there is also a kind of old Wang Xie Tang Qianyan, flying into the homes of ordinary people.

Now there are many merchants living in the alley, and there are a few small ones that can only be walked.

When he arrived at the door, Fang Ya talked all the way and saw that the third uncle and a few women were not in charge, and only the thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy in front of him was the one in charge.

Lin Yanchao looked up but saw the white walls and gray tiles, as well as the wind volcanic wall decorated with birds and beasts between the houses, and couldn't help but nodded.

At that moment, Fang Ya asked flatteringly, "What do you think of the little official?" ”

Lin Yanchao walked between this small chakra, if he was an adult, he could prop up to the two walls of the side with his hands raised, not to mention the carriage and sedan chair, it was difficult for even the horse to come in.

The traffic is inconvenient, but Lin Yanchao likes this feeling of quietness in the middle of the noisy, and can't help but say: "Our Fujian, although it is not as beautiful as Suzhou, not as beautiful as Hangzhou, and not as good as the outstanding people of Shaoxing, but when I came here, I had a little bit of the original poetry and the taste of every family's string song." ”

Fang Ya also tasted Lin Yanchao's strength today, almost broke his leg, and thought that it was easy to hear him say a good place, and at the moment he was afraid that the scholar would look down on the businessman, so he lowered the price to him, and quickly explained: "The little official, although it is not as good as before, but there have been Wenqu stars in the workshop in the past, and the little official is required to study and ask for a career, and it is better to live in this Zhuangyuan Lane." ”

Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "Let's take a look." ”

The door of the house is open in the alley, and the gate is facing east, although there is no store, but it is very spacious, and there is a patio between the front and back two courtyards.

Fangya took Lin Yanchao into the door is the wall, after the wall is the front yard, the front yard next to the alley to build an inverted seat, left and right is the front compartment, the corridor is repaired, a cluster of green bamboo is planted in the middle, after the front yard door, between the two courtyards is a rectangular patio for lighting, the patio is paved with large stone slabs, smooth and slippery, and the four sides are repaired with a drainage ditch.

There is a well in the middle of the patio, and there are a few mosses next to the well, and when you look inside, hey, the water is full, and there are a few carp swimming around with their tails.

The backyard behind the patio is the focus, into the backyard, due west is a living room and two bedrooms, due north is a small building, due south is the kitchen, only simple with thatched roof, instead of other houses are covered with green tiles. A small patio is enclosed on three sides, and the house is raised with a pedestal to prevent moisture.

The house belongs to the north of the building is the best, after all, sitting in the south and facing the north is the king, there are several potted plants planted in front of the small building, the flowers are in the spring, and the fragrance comes from it. The eldest lady was very satisfied, but they didn't show it, they frequently looked at Lin Yanchao, and hurriedly bargained, that's it.

Before Lin Yanchao could say anything, Lin Qianqian was like a little daughter-in-law going to the street to buy vegetables, and she began to be picky first: "Uncle, you said that this house is not sitting in the north and facing south, which is not beautiful." ”

Fang Ya said with a smile: "Lady, this is Xiaozhen is north-south, the door can only be opened like this, if it is to be opened from north to south, the door will hit the wall of someone else's house." ”

Lin Qianqian said again: "That's fine, but this little quilt is too narrow, not as wide as an adult's shoulders." ”

Fang Ya smiled and said, "My aunt, it's okay." ”

"Can the price be more negotiable?"

While talking, a woman, Shi Shiran, walked out, and when she saw Fang Ya, she said in a bitter local dialect: "Why are you here again, don't introduce some 'two voices' to come to our house to see the house, I can't afford it and bargain, he told them that our Wu family's house is not sold if there is less money." ”

The two voices are local slang, which specifically refer to people who come to the provincial capital of Shiyi from other places to make a living, and who speak with foreign accents and speak the local dialect well.

Lin Yanchao thought in his heart, this local's rejection of outsiders seems to be a bad habit from ancient times to the present.

Fang Ya hurriedly explained: "The lady of the Wu family, you misunderstood, several of them are from Hongtang Township in the west of the city, and there is an official and an official in the family, and they want to buy a house in the city and move in." ”

As soon as the lady of the Wu family heard this, she turned 180 degrees and greeted her with a smile: "Don't say it early, it turned out to be a distinguished guest, and I can't invite it on weekdays, come and drink tea." ”

Lin Yanchao smiled and said: "The lady of the Wu family is polite, if the price of your house can be negotiated, we can decide it immediately, if not, we will look at other houses." ”

The lady of the Wu family smiled and said, "How can this little brother lower the price when they meet?" ”

Lin Yanchao smiled: "Don't call me little brother, I'm a scholar." ”

"Hehe, reader, good reader!" My lady smiled and said.

The eldest lady stepped forward in the appearance of an official's wife and said: "Forget it, Chaoyu, I've seen so many houses, and my sedan chair is also tired, remove the head, just this one." ”

Scared, sedan chair? Where is the sedan chair?

Lin Yanchao said: "Auntie, let's take a look again!" ”

The lady of the Wu family hurriedly said: "Don't, buy fifty-two taels of silver, if you can decide tomorrow, we can discuss a little." ”

The two of them sang red faces, one sang black faces, bargained and cut a pass, and finally negotiated the price, fifty taels and three coins of silver, and another seven coins of house tooth money, and the next day one hand of the deed, one hand of the money.
