Chapter 200: Unable to contain such a large mansion
Mr. Zhou didn't expect Jiang Ruo to agree so readily.
He laughed heartily, “Mrs. Xiao is so straightforward.”
But I couldn't help but feel secretly happy.
In the current drought, apart from silver and food, shops and real estate are all money-losing items.
Jiang Ruo knew very well what Mr. Zhou was thinking.
She said slowly, "I don't have any hobbies, I just like to do some small business."
“The more shops, the better.”
I won't do business that will lose money.
Not like your Zhou family at all.
Ever since I came here, your Zhou family is left with only a pair of "pants".
Mr. Zhou thought that the fertile fields and shops had been successfully sold, and only this mansion was left.
The two courtyards in the town will not be sold, and the deeds will be temporarily handed over to the ex-daughter-in-law for safekeeping.
When Mr. Zhou looked at the mansion in front of him, his face was full of reluctance.
The man surnamed Zheng and several wealthy people who came to pick up the bargain were stunned by the actions of the buyer and seller.
What the hell?
That's it.
So what else can they get?
Several people looked towards the Zhou Mansion...
They secretly thought: When Mr. Zhou makes an offer later, they want to be the first to make the deal.
"Madam Xiao, this mansion was originally built at a great cost, and it's quite large."
"By the way, there is a granary over there. Would you consider buying it?"
"As for the price, we can negotiate..."
Before Mr. Zhou could finish his words, he was interrupted by Jiang Ruo.
Jiang Ruo looked at the mansion in front of him, curling his lips into an inexplicable smile, "Mr. Zhou, forget about the mansion."
"We have a small family and cannot manage such a large mansion. We don't want to attract some unclean 'things'."
When Mr. Zhou listened to Jiang Ruo's words, he always felt that there was something else behind them.
Thinking of this, a barely perceptible trace of guilt flashed across his face.
Could it be that this Mrs. Xiao knew what happened last night?
That's impossible. I must be overthinking it.
Mr. Zhou's eyes dodged, and there was a hint of helplessness in his tone, "In that case, I will find another buyer!"
Seeing the opportunity, the Zhengs and their companions could not wait to ask, "Mr. Zhou, how much silver are you planning to sell this mansion for?"
Mr. Zhou looked at the expectant eyes of several people and a plan came to his mind.
There was a hint of toughness in his attitude. "Six thousand six hundred taels of silver, no bargaining."
Hearing this, several people looked at each other quietly.
How did Mr. Zhou get into a fight over the amount of 66?
Six thousand six hundred taels of silver, the price is a bit high!
The man surnamed Zheng looked around the Zhou Mansion, hesitant.
Even if this mansion is located in Jizhou City, there will be no other houses like it.
It is said that Mr. Zhou spent about ten thousand taels of silver when building this mansion.
At that time, he was jealous for a long time.
Moreover, the granary over there can also be renovated into a larger courtyard.
If this news spreads to Jizhou City, those wealthy businessmen will definitely come to snatch it.
Six thousand six hundred taels...
Well, you can buy it first and then resell it later to make a profit.
This plan is very clever.
Thinking of this, the man surnamed Zheng roared with a swagger, "Deal!"
Mr. Zhou clapped his hands and said, "Good, they are all straightforward people."
"How about this! You go back and prepare the money first. We'll meet in front of the government office at 5 p.m. to handle the house and land deeds."
"We will go to the government office on time." Jiang Ruo and Xiao Chengjin looked at each other, turned and left.
The man surnamed Zheng happily asked the men to leave.
Haha, go home and prepare some money.
After getting the house deed, find an auspicious day and move into your new home.
"Brothers, please come and support me when I move into a new house!"
......
The people had enough of the fun and left, talking in low voices.
In the blink of an eye, the area in front of Zhou's mansion became empty.
When Mr. Zhou thought about embarking on the "road to escape", he suddenly broke down and walked into the mansion crying.
Qiao'er, who was hiding not far from the back door of Zhou's mansion, watched the servants leaving from the back door one after another, and grabbed a handful of dirt and smeared it on her face.
Go and find out the situation first.
The two maids who had agreed to leave were chatting as they walked.
A maid turned around to look at the Zhou Mansion and said with emotion: "The only good thing Mr. Zhou did was to tear up our indentures."
Another maid chuckled, "Actually, I think we should thank Madam the most."
"Think about it, if the young master hadn't married the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, would Mr. Zhou's family have been able to move to the capital?"
The maid who had initiated the topic nodded and said, "Now that you put it that way, it seems to make sense."
Qiao'er, who was following behind them, ran away when she learned that the indenture had been torn up by Mr. Zhou.
It was really unexpected that the "accidental" death of the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion was a blessing for these servants.
Well, the contract of sale has been broken, so let’s end this matter here!
In the room, Zhou Zexuan, who had drunk the tranquilizing soup, had nightmares after falling asleep.
In the dream, Jiang Yunyao and his servant transformed into evil spirits and chased him relentlessly.
"ah......"
Zhou Zexuan woke up in shock and ran out of the room barefoot.
As he ran, he shouted in horror: "Don't kill me, don't kill..."
Old Madam Zhou, who rushed over after hearing the noise, looked at the crazy Zhou Zexuan and slapped him several times.
"Xuan'er, wake up, wake up."
Our family is already unlucky enough, and you are still so troublesome.
Zhou Zexuan, who was awakened by the beating, looked around in horror, "Mom, Jiang Yunyao is here to take my life."
"Let's get out of here quickly."
Old Madam Zhou looked at her useless son and suddenly felt powerless.
The Zhou family is completely finished.
Jiangji Grain Shop.
Jiang Ruo returned to the grain shop humming a little tune and couldn't help laughing.
"Haha, this time, Mr. Zhou's family suffered a huge loss."
After Jiang Ruo finished speaking, he calculated the amount of silver.
The current market price of one shop is 200 taels, so five shops would be 1,000 taels, 66%...
Hey! The transaction price is also very auspicious.
Feeling happy, Jiang Ruo leaned over and gave Xiao Chengjin a kiss on his handsome face.
"Haha, we're going to be the richest people in town soon. Are you happy?"
Xiao Chengjin put his arm around Jiang Ruo's waist and said, "As long as Ruo Ruo is happy, I'm happy too."
"It's getting late. I'll arrange a carriage and we'll go to the government office."
"You go ahead, I'll prepare the silver first." Jiang Ruo watched Xiao Chengjin leave the room and then slipped into the space.
After everything was arranged, An Er drove the carriage and the two of them, master and servant, went to the Jizhou government office.
Jiang Ruo, who was sitting in the carriage, imagined herself sitting in front of a large field, eating fruits and vegetables grown by herself, and couldn't help laughing.
"After we get the land deeds and house deeds, let's go back to the village to celebrate."
"That's a good idea."
Xiao Chengjin looked at Jiang Ruo who was in a good mood, and secretly thought: I have to get some "errand fees".
Ruoruo should be happier.
Zhou Mansion.
Mr. and Mrs. Zhou looked at the only "family property" in the wooden box and cried for a while.
"Madam, I will go to the government office to handle the land deed."
"Tonight... let's leave Jizhou."
After Mr. Zhou finished speaking, he hardened his heart, picked up the wooden box, and hurried out of the Zhou Mansion.
Mrs. Zhou looked at Mr. Zhou's departing figure and cried out, "What a misfortune for our family!"
Mr. Zhou looked at the two "bodyguards" standing beside the carriage and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.
After he got on the carriage, he lifted the curtain and said, "You two will follow me for the time being. I will not treat you unfairly."
The two strong men were delighted when they heard this, "I understand."
The three of them drove towards Jizhou City with their own thoughts.
The two strong men stayed behind on their own initiative for a purpose.
They thought that since Mr. Zhou was going to the capital, he must need someone to protect him.
There is a drought in Jizhou right now, and there is no good way to make a living.
Once you escort Mr. Zhou and his family to the capital, you will receive a reward.
Running this errand is appropriate no matter how you look at it.
