Chapter 103 104. House
"That's good news," Li Yong was silent for a moment, "As far as I know, there is a place that is preparing to sell the house, but the price he asked for is a bit high, so he has kept it until now.
I don’t know if Brother Gu…”
After all, they also fled all the way here, and Li Yong was really afraid that speaking out would embarrass the other party.
From what the Gu brothers said, it seemed that they wanted to take things a step further, so he was even more willing to make friends with them.
"I wonder how much you want?" Gu Wenheng said frankly, "If it's within my ability and can please my wife, I would consider it."
"He asked for a hundred taels. The yard is not very big, with only two main rooms and four side rooms. But there is one good thing about it, that is, it was rebuilt a few years ago and has been well maintained, and it looks just like new.
His place is not far from here, just around the corner ahead, why don't we go over and take a look now?"
"If the house is good, the price is acceptable, but we haven't received our household registration yet, so we're afraid of disturbing the other party."
Li Yong patted his chest and said, "Brother Gu, have you forgotten what I do? If it is really settled, when the household registration comes out, I can take out the red deed as well."
Gu Wenheng bowed and said, "Thank you for introducing me, Captain Li."
Li Yong, "Don't be so polite. I've been calling you Brother Gu all the time. If you want to take advantage of me, just call me Brother Li. It's just a piece of cake. It can also help my brother find a buyer. It's a win-win situation.
Let's go. At this time, their family should still be at home. Let's talk while we walk."
"My brother has been traveling around the country and doing some small business over the years. Now that he has some spare money, he wants to move to a better place. He has already bought a small courtyard in Shangjing and plans to do some small business there.
The house here is empty, and they want to find someone to take care of it, but after all, it is not the ancestral home, so they want to sell it and exchange it for a few acres of land, which will at least be an income. "Li Yong introduced them as he walked, "Now only his father and the servants stay here, if the house is sold, they can immediately vacate the house."
“.”
"Look, this is it. Although it's next to the street, it's at the end of the street after all, so it's not very noisy at ordinary times. If Brother Gu lives here, he can also choose Leping Academy. It only takes a moment to walk there, which is really convenient."
Along the way, I was excited just listening to Li Yong's introduction, and now seeing the new exterior wall and location, I feel even more satisfied.
Gu Wenheng and Jin Qianqian looked at each other, and then silently looked at the house in front of them.
When a little boy opened the door and saw the clean and tidy yard inside through the gap, Jin Qianqian couldn't help rubbing her fingers.
Once inside, the house was just as Li Yong had described, and it was obvious that the owner took good care of it.
Even the yard is not all dirt, there is a gravel path leading to the room.
The two main rooms are also square, and apart from the kang, the remaining space is also this large.
As for the four side rooms, one was converted into a kitchen with an old-fashioned stove placed there, giving it a more homely feel.
The only thing that made Jin Qianqian frown was the small thatched hut in the corner. There were several boards lying there, making her unable to help but close her eyes and retreat.
But these are not a big deal, they can be gradually improved in the future.
Without much hesitation, the two of them quickly made the decision. The other party was also straightforward. They took out the red deed and wrote a sales document under the witness of Li Yong. The house thus became under Jin Qianqian's name.
Seeing the buyer's name, Li Yong and the other party looked at Gu Wenheng in surprise.
Gu Wenheng grinned and said, "These are my wife's dowry money, so they are naturally written in her name."
They never expected that Gu Wenheng would be so frank, and their impression of him became even better.
When they returned to the inn, Jin Qianqian no longer concealed her joy, "Finally, we have a place of our own here. It seems we should celebrate today."
Before Gu Wenheng could react, he was brought into the space by Jin Qianqian.
Looking at the changes in the space, Gu Wenheng was a little surprised.
Except for the fields planted with herbs, the land near the door was all covered with iron sheets and carpeted. There was a set of white desks and a whole cabinet next to it, which neatly arranged the books they had bought before.
"When was this done?"
Jin Qianqian blinked, "Guess?"
Gu Wenheng, "Last night."
Jin Qianqian, "Did you see everything?"
Gu Wenheng: "..." The person disappeared in his arms. He must have been sleeping so soundly that he didn't even notice.
Jin Qianqian touched her nose and said, "I thought you were asleep, after all, you were still snoring slightly.
Take a look first, and if there is anything you are not satisfied with, we can rearrange it together."
Gu Wenheng took off his shoes and stepped onto the carpet, stroking the four treasures of the study on the table, "These are already very good, and with your cheating device, I will have much more time than others to study and read books in the future.
I didn’t expect that after studying for decades, I would have to start from scratch again.”
He tried to hold the brush, but apart from the way he remembered holding it, he always felt that it was too limp to write with.
Jin Qianqian: "." I can't let the senior know the words I wrote before, and I have to destroy all the traces of the words I practiced before. It's really horrible.
Gu Wenheng suddenly looked up at Jin Qianqian, "Qianqian, are you interested in writing a few words?"
Jin Qianqian waved her hands and said, "I have ballpoint pens and fountain pens here, they will be enough for you."
Gu Wenheng understood, "It's okay, we can practice together in the future. Maybe if we have the chance to go back, we can become masters of calligraphy."
Jin Qianqian pursed her lips, not wanting Gu Wenheng to see her clumsy handwriting.
"To celebrate our first property here, what would you like to eat?"
Gu Wenheng, "I'm not picky about food, as long as it's meat."
"That's easy. We'll arrange it right away." Jin Qianqian disappeared in front of Gu Wenheng in an instant.
When she appeared again, she was holding a large bag of take-out boxes in her hand.
"What are these?" Gu Wenheng reached out to take them curiously.
"First clear a corner of the table, there are all the good stuff here.
Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, Shark Fin Soup, Grilled Lamb Chops, Secret Braised Pork, Fruit Salad. How is it? What else do you want to order? "
Gu Wenheng, "It's really rich, but we need some more red wine to celebrate."
"Ding, ding, ding," Jin Qianqian grabbed a bottle of red wine from behind like a magician, and held two wine glasses in her other hand. "It's ready. May I ask if you are satisfied?"
Gu Wenheng was very supportive, "I couldn't be more satisfied. Thank you for preparing so much."
