Chapter 193: Treasure in the Courtyard
A green cloth carriage shuttled through the streets and alleys of Beijun, and Situ Xing looked out with a faint look in his eyes. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info tries to find a hint of familiarity.
But things are not people, and in more than ten years, many people and many things have changed.
Occasionally, he saw a few familiar old houses, but he could never get back the feeling he had back then.
"Zhenguo, the tooth line has arrived!"
The little guy looked at the signboard of the tooth shop and reminded him kindly.
"Yes!"
Situ Xing's eyes regained their clarity, and Wang Po had already seen Situ Xing's carriage, and she was already standing at the door of the tooth shop with a smile on her face, unspeakably respectful.
"Situ Zhenguo!"
"I said how the magpie chirped today, it turned out that Lord Zhenguo had arrived. β
Situ Xing glanced at Wang Po, nodded politely, and then walked into the tooth shop accompanied by the little maid.
Because she knew that Situ would come to Yaxing, Wang Po had already prepared the title deed, drawings, etc.
Title deeds, drawings, a whole stack. Some places have also been simply marked, and the Situ Xing who saw it nodded secretly, the official teeth are of a high standard, and they are not comparable to the private teeth.
"Lord Zhenguo, do you want to see the red deed or the white deed?"
Wang Po smiled all over her face and asked tentatively.
"Naturally, it's a red deed!"
Situ Xing glanced at Wang Po and said without any hesitation.
Red deed, white deed is a kind of jargon.
The red deed is a big seal of the government, and the transaction carried out under the fairness of the government is protected by law, but it has to pay taxes to the government. The white deed is a private transaction, looking for a few middlemen to do justice.
The transaction fee is lower than that of the red deed, but it is not protected by the law.
Situ Xing himself is a legalist, so naturally he will not do that kind of thing to know the law and break the law, and this cost is nothing to him.
"Okay!"
"The woman is also old and confused, how can Lord Situ Zhenguo ask for a white deed!"
Hearing that Situ wanted a red deed, the smile on Wang Po's face became more and more sincere, some laughed at herself, and some self-cooked people casually stuffed melon seeds and other snacks in their hands to Si Tu.
Situ Xing didn't care, his eyes looked straight at the drawings on the table.
The princess was also knowledgeable and did not make noise in Situ Xing's ears.
Situ Xing's eyes were gloomy, and his mind kept thinking.
I have to say that the efficiency of the official teeth is still very high. However, in just a few days, he found a lot of suitable places for Si Tuxing.
Situ Xing gently flipped through the drawings, pausing from time to time to show a thoughtful look.
After about half an hour, Situ Xing's hand stopped, and his gaze remained on a somewhat yellowed, apparently old, title deed.
In the east of the city, the Jiazi number entered the house twice, and the owner of the house was high.
"This yard ... β
Situ said without any hesitation.
"Zhenguo, you are really a good vision, this two-entry courtyard, the previous owner was also a scholar, after being admitted to the promotion of people, he went to other sides to be an official, and now his descendants are taking care of it, the most auspicious, there are several Confucian students staring at it!"
Wang Po pointed to one of the drawings of the two-way courtyard and said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll go see this house in a moment. β
When Situ Xing saw Wang Po talking, his eyes were a little evasive, and he knew that she didn't tell the truth, but the tooth trade is mostly like this, seven points true, three points false, true and false.
Situ is not demanding, as long as the whole meets his own requirements.
"Great!"
Wang Po shouted excitedly, took the initiative to beckon the little servant to lead the carriage, and falsely led Situ to get into the car. The horse's hooves made a crisp sound when they stepped on the bluestone ground.
The wheels of the car rotated incessantly, and the axles and hubs rubbed against each other, making a creaking sound.
The sound is noisy, but not irritating.
Situ Xing closed his eyes and listened to the sound of the wheels rubbing against the ground, just when he was a little drowsy. The carriage came to a halt slowly.
A small courtyard with blue tiles appeared in front of him, perhaps because of the erosion of the years, or because of the unfavorable repair, this small courtyard looked a little defeated.
Even the two doors were a little peeling off the paint, revealing the grain of the logs inside, which looked as if they had white spots, which was indescribably ugly.
You must know that the faΓ§ade is a big deal, because the door is the face of a family.
But any family with a little financial conditions will not let their door be like this.
But above the gate, there is a plaque, Jin Shi and the first!
It shows that this place was once inhabited by scholars who were middle-aged scholars.
Wang Po looked at the overgrown weeds and the gate with the paint peeling, and smiled a little wryly, obviously she had been here before, and when she introduced it to Situ Xing before, she added a lot of water.
Situ Xing sneered, didn't say anything, and motioned for Wang Po to come forward and call the door.
After a while, I saw the door coming from inside, and a middle-aged man with patches on his clothes and a sickly face walked out of it.
As soon as he saw Wang Po and Situ Xing, a trace of joy flashed on his face.
"Gao Yachi, this is Situ Zhenguo, don't be presumptuous!"
Seeing that Situ entered the mansion, the middle-aged man was about to follow, and Wang Po hurriedly whispered a warning behind.
"Don't think that the old lady doesn't know what you are doing, put away your ghost eyes, you can't afford to provoke this master. β
Gao Yazhi's face couldn't help but stiffen, and he smiled a little embarrassedly.
Situ Xing didn't care about the small movements of the two people behind him, and his eyes looked at the entire courtyard. The bluestone is piled up, the roof is made of green tiles, and there are a few green bamboos, which are particularly quiet.
But apparently it had been deserted for a long time, and the yard was full of weeds that were one person high, and some broken items were piled up everywhere.
After careful observation, Situ had to admit it.
Although the yard is a bit barren, there are weeds growing in many places, and the green tiles on the roof are also lacking.
However, the overall building is still relatively intact, and the weathering of the wooden beams in the house is not very serious. Just make a simple repair, clean it, and add some furniture. You can move in right away.
Suddenly, his eyes couldn't help but stare at him, because he found a glimmer of brilliant light in an inconspicuous corner.
There is a treasure buried in the foundation of this humble house!
Situ Xing's face suddenly became vivid, but he did not say anything, and pretended to observe for a long time, and pointed out several problems in the house.
There are even some questions that do not conform to common sense at all, and in the eyes of ordinary people, they may even think that they are a little picky and harsh.
Gao Yazhi twisted his head a little angrily, if it wasn't for the fact that he was short of money and was in a hurry to sell this mansion, he really wanted to blast Situ out of the house.
But Wang Po's eyes narrowed slightly, and she followed Situ Xing with a smile on her face, and stepped forward to talk from time to time, without showing any impatience because of Si Tuxing's pickiness.
On the contrary, from time to time, there are echoing voices.
It seems that all the reproaches of Si Tu are reasonable. Her eyes narrowed slightly, and her face was happy, according to her experience, Situ Xing would definitely buy this mansion.
The current pickiness is just to press down the price when the delivery is over.
Just as the two were about to discuss the price, the gate of the small courtyard was pushed open again, and several young people wearing green shirts and Confucian hats walked in.
Both Situ Xing and Wang Po's faces showed surprise, and the elegant eyes of seemingly honest people revealed a trace of cunning that did not match his character.
