Chapter 33 The Xia Family Settles in South City
Today the manager informed them that someone was coming to buy the house, and only then did he speak his native language.
Who is Xia Yutong? Can such a small thing stump her?
"Thank you. Nice to meet you." Xia Yutong's English is very authentic.
Of course, there is still a little difference between them, after all, they are still using Old English.
But it does not prevent both parties from understanding.
However, the manager of the pawnshop, after hearing the conversation between the little girl and the landlord, became more respectful to her.
"Haha, I'm glad to see you too. You're the most fluent English speaker I've ever met in Dayan." The landlord stopped pretending and spoke directly in Dayan. "You speak Dayan fluently, too." Seeing him raise his hand, Xia Yutong instinctively stepped forward to shake his hand.
Her action made the homeowner even happier.
"Come in."
Since the homeowner and the buyer can communicate, the manager becomes redundant.
The homeowner brought Xia Yutong and others in.
The gate was like the courtyard gate of the Great Yan Dynasty, with many potted plants placed around it.
Apart from these, there was nothing else displayed at the door.
You should know that there are regulations on the placement of door signs, and you can't just put them there whenever you want.
Not everyone can use stone lions.
After entering the courtyard is the main gate of the villa. The entrance is round, with two Roman columns leading straight to the second floor.
The supporting columns are not round, but square.
This type of building was considered very novel in the Great Yan Dynasty, and the interior of the first floor was even simpler.
There are four rooms, and the owner turned one of the downstairs rooms into a study, the kind for receiving guests.
The rest is for resident guests.
The main hall is more spacious, probably because they often invite people home for gatherings.
The extended dining table, the special sofa, etc., all of these made Xia Yutong very fond of them.
The landlord's wife carefully took Xia Yutong for a walk.
There is a small door next to the main body, which is usually used by servants.
Going in and out or buying something.
Most of the walls around the house are built with Roman columns, which makes them very sturdy.
"I like this place very much. Are you really planning to sell it?" Xia Yutong did not intend to hide her love for this place.
She now has the capital to buy it.
If that's not enough, just give her one or two pieces of jewelry. She can still make some money for the homeowner.
"Sell it, Xia. I was reluctant to leave at the time, but my family was always worried, so we had to go back." Every tree and blade of grass here was planted by her own hands, and she was reluctant to let it go if it was discarded.
"I understand." Xia Yutong didn't ask her any more questions, indicating that she understood her feelings.
Then he took her to see the books and asked her if she could take good care of them.
In response, Xia Yutong told them with certainty that she could do it.
Because she likes these books very much.
When she has nothing to do, her biggest hobby is reading.
These are all antiques.
If it were put in modern times, I'm afraid... there would be a mad rush to buy it.
"Xia, can you understand?" the landlord asked worriedly.
Xia Yutong smiled slightly, opened a book and read it to him word by word.
"Oh my God, this is great. Now we can go back home with peace of mind." The landlord said excitedly.
"I wonder how much it costs?" One thing is one thing, even brothers have to settle accounts clearly. She doesn't intend to take advantage of them, and she doesn't want to be taken advantage of by others.
"In that case, how about you give me eight thousand taels of silver?" said the landlord, looking at the little girl who was much shorter than him.
I was also a little nervous.
All in all, the price is really cheap, but who can blame him for liking the girl in front of him?
Xia Yutong knew how much money she had on her, eight thousand taels, no.
but.
"Madam, can I talk to you alone? Or can we two talk together?" Xia Yutong planned to exchange things with them.
The two looked at each other, but then nodded and took Xia Yutong to the study.
Xia Yutong didn't say much, and directly stated her situation. She didn't have that much cash, and wondered if she could exchange it for something.
The two of them didn't want to do it at first, but they really liked this little girl, so they finally decided to take a look at the things first.
Xia Yutong took out some jewelry from her arms.
Those are all works designed by outstanding modern designers.
Each one can be said to be world-famous.
Men may not love these things very much, but women are different.
Xia Yutong took out only five items in total, including a necklace, ring and bracelet.
These were all things she took out from the space at random.
To be honest, she herself didn't know what she took out.
When she saw what was on the table, Xia Yutong smiled.
These are all produced in countries like Y and M.
Now exchange their things for their things, not bad.
"Oh my God, this, this, this is so beautiful." There are not too many gems on it, but it is more dazzling than gems.
Women cannot resist the temptation of jewelry.
"As long as Madam likes it, I wonder if this money can pay for the house?" Xia Yutong asked.
After taking a look, the landlord was amazed, but still felt it was not worth it.
"Xia, this won't work."
There was no other way, so Xia Yufan took out some things from his arms.
These were all given to her by her family members on her birthday every year.
In order to please her, the gifts he gave her were all pretty good.
There are more than ten items in total. If they still don’t agree, Xia Yutong doesn’t plan to talk about it anymore.
She could sell these things for eight thousand taels.
It's just that she didn't want the Xia family to attract too much attention, so she didn't sell these things.
Now, we are in South City. Who knows the Xia family’s background? So, it’s time to take action.
The landlord wanted to say NO this time, but was stopped by his wife: "Charlie, people can't be too greedy. This is enough."
Charlie felt a little embarrassed when he heard what his wife said.
Finally, he nodded awkwardly and agreed to the exchange.
In the afternoon, they went to the South City Yamen to change the gate.
After getting the title deed, Xia Yutong paid the manager a commission. Not only that, she also asked Grandma Zhou to go to the villa first to clean up some things.
Back at the inn, Xia Yutong said that she had bought a house today and that she could not move in until the day after tomorrow because she still had to clean up.
She felt relieved because Grandma Zhou was watching over there.
Xia Feng has great faith in his daughter. If she says it is okay, then it must be okay.
Only Zixuan looked unhappy, "Sister, you didn't even call me when you went out."
He was stuck in the inn all day and was very unhappy.
"You, you'll be crazy someday." Xia Yutong rolled her eyes at him and said unhappily, "I chose a house with a big yard. You won't have to go out to exercise anymore."
"Thank you, big sister." Xia Zixuan was so happy when he heard that his big sister had chosen a big yard for him.
Fortunately, Xia Yutong didn’t know what he was thinking, otherwise... she would have beaten him to death.
What a big yard chosen for him.
She also wants to live in a good house, okay?
