Chapter 10 010 The Third Courtyard

Chapter 10 010. The Third Entrance

"Sir, look at this location. It's the best location in Qingcheng Town. In front of it is the busiest Ping'anfang Street. Look at how wide this street is. It's paved with bluestone. There's no dirt on sunny days and no mud on rainy days. Three large carriages can drive side by side!"

There are many people on the street, and there are many vendors walking around selling goods. At this time, there are people carrying candied haws on their backs; there are people pushing roasted sweet potato carts to sell; and on the west side of the courtyard gate, there are people making candy figurines to sell.

The candy figurine maker saw Ren Pingsheng and his friends coming to see the house, and there was envy and timidity in his eyes, as if he was wondering if he would be driven away after the house was sold.

"Look at this courtyard again. It was originally built by the Minister of the Ministry of War in the previous dynasty. His descendants gradually became deserted and sold their land. Now the whole family has moved to Qingshui County. They can no longer keep this courtyard in their hometown, so they asked me to sell it on their behalf.

You see, the gate is in the middle. No matter how rich the common people are, the gate of the three-courtyard house can only be opened in the southeast."

The man with a mustache opened the gate, and the carved screen wall was in front of him, which looked quite delicate and beautiful.

"There are a total of 7 rooms on both sides."

The front yard is not big, and the rooms are relatively narrow. There are walls separating it, divided into four large and small courtyards, connected by moon gates, mainly for the gatehouse, servants and guards.

Going around the screen wall, there are two vermilion gates, which are the hanging flower gates.

Passing through the hanging flower gate, a large courtyard came into Ren Pingsheng's sight. The ground was made of exquisitely cut stone bricks, each of which was of the same size, and there were patterns of cranes, auspicious clouds, etc. engraved on it.

On both sides of the hanging flower gate are corridors, on the left and right sides are the east and west wing rooms, and the main house facing north and south is 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, with thick branches and well-trimmed.

"Master, look at this pomegranate tree. In spring, the tree is full of red pomegranate flowers, which definitely symbolizes your prosperous days!"

Ren Pingsheng entered the north room and took a look. The room was spacious. The winter sun shone through the window lattice, shining brightly in the room, and the dust rose and fell in the beams of light.

"This furniture is missing a lot."

Ren Pingsheng said.

"That's right. After the family fell into decline, a lot of these family properties were sold. It's a pity for those good furniture!"

The man with a mustache said regretfully.

"Let's go and take a look at the back."

Ren Pingsheng walked out of the main house. He looked at the carved beams and painted buildings along the way. There were reliefs of flowers and birds, as well as rare and exotic animals. However, the doors, windows, and columns were more like works of art, which were pleasing to the eye.

After passing the side room, we have come to the third courtyard at the back. The third courtyard is often the residence of the women in the family.

Once we get here, the sounds on Ping An Street in front of us can no longer be heard. The ears are quiet and only feel deep.

Perhaps the poem says that the courtyard is deep and deep, which refers to the third courtyard.

Standing in the third courtyard, the two-story side room and the back room, under the high wall and large courtyard, give people a deep feeling of isolation from the world.

There are two osmanthus trees and a green bamboo in the yard. You can imagine that when the osmanthus blooms, the whole yard is filled with the fragrance of osmanthus.

"The layout of this house originally had two cross-courtyards in the east and west, but the descendants were not good enough to keep it. The land was bought and leveled to build the courtyard.

Otherwise, the garden theater, sightseeing and listening to music would definitely be more interesting!"

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

"Tell me, how much silver is this courtyard?"

The group returned to the main house and sat down.

Ren Pingsheng was very satisfied with the house. Compared with the adobe house in Liujia Village, this house was a far cry from the other.

Even if it was a house on Earth, minus the home appliances and smart home, it would be much worse than this house!

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

"360 taels of silver."

The man with the mustache spoke softly, his eyes glancing at Ren Pingsheng's expression without leaving any trace.

"How is it possible? Do you think this is a county town? Or a provincial capital? You are such a black-hearted person, and you dare to sell us 360 taels of silver?"

Liu Shu slapped the table directly and said to the man with the mustache with dissatisfaction.

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

He only had a rough grasp of the prices in this world, so he did not participate in the bargaining.

The silver ingot in his left hand was the money earned from selling goods at noon.

The silver ingot in his right hand was even more transparent, and the silver was very beautiful.

This one was bought by Ren Pingsheng on Earth, and it has a laser cloud pattern 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 Liujia Village, Ren Pingsheng had never seen the appearance of the silver ingots in this world.

Now when the two ingots of silver are put together in his hand for comparison, the difference is even more obvious.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the value of silver on Earth is much higher than that of silver in this world.

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

The huge difference in the craftsmanship of the two kinds of silver can easily be targeted by the government and those with ulterior motives.

In the short term, Ren Pingsheng does not plan to let the silver on Earth in his hand circulate.

Hearing that Liu Shu and Ba Zi Hu have already reduced the house price to 310 taels of silver.

Ren Pingsheng put away the silver and just kept his eyes on the man with the mustache: "The house is nice and I have money, but I am not willing to spend it on anything other than the value of the house itself."

The man with the mustache felt a little uncomfortable when he was stared at by Ren Pingsheng. His gaze was very firm and steady, and he felt some pressure when he was stared at by him continuously.

Finally, the man with the mustache gritted his teeth and said, "280 taels of silver, this is the reserve price! If it weren't for the lack of furniture, it would never be sold at this price.

You also know that there are zombies everywhere outside now. Although our Qingcheng Town is not a county town, the city wall is more solid than that of a county town!

Now there is a flood in the neighboring province, and there are constant wars in the north. Prices are rising rapidly, and one tael of silver can't buy 300 kilograms of rice.

The price of such a good house can't be lower! This price is the bottom line the owner told me.

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

Ren Pingsheng tapped his fingers on the table twice, looked up at Liu Shu, and Liu Shu nodded gently at Ren Pingsheng.

"Okay, I'll buy this courtyard!"

Ren Pingsheng didn't hesitate to buy such a satisfactory mansion with 280 taels of silver.

"Okay!"

The man with the mustache slapped his thigh: "It's still me, how satisfying!"

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

Just wait for you to give the subsequent silver to the owner, and the deed tax will be paid by the owner. Both parties have signed the contract, and then the house deed will be handed over to you, and the house will be officially handed over.

As for the bills issued by the county government later, I will send them to you."

In his opinion, the master in front of him is rich and powerful, so of course he has to curry favor with him.

Thank you for your support! Welcome all old friends!
