Chapter 141 Buying a House, Zhang Baiwan's Proposal
When she planned to buy a house, she would choose another one and then the title deed would be in Lin Huo's name, so she would think of it as a loan.
It’s better not to tell Lin Huo for now. He is arrogant and may not accept it.
After waiting for a long time, a gentle breeze came and the weather became slightly warmer, approaching spring. I took off my thick winter clothes and felt lighter all over.
The wind blew on Song Ci's flawless and rosy cheeks, and her thick and slender eyelashes trembled, like a butterfly about to spread its wings and fly high, causing ripples in Lin Huo's heart.
Thinking of what the teacher said, Lin Huo was about to say something. Spring is a good time for an outing. Would Song Ci like it? If he took the initiative to invite her, would she accept?
With such an uneasy mood, he mustered up the courage to speak, "Miss Song San, I..."
"I've finished the assessment! Xiaoci."
Song Lan pushed the door open happily, his face full of joy.
Seeing his brother's smiling face, Song Ci had no idea what was going on. He must have passed Master Lin Huo's assessment.
The rest is easy.
She turned her head and asked doubtfully, "Did you want to say something just now?"
Being interrupted, the little courage that Lin Huo had finally mustered disappeared, and he shook his head to indicate that nothing was wrong.
Then he reminded Song Lan of some precautions.
On the way back, Song Lan roughly recounted what happened in the house, "So, Lin Huo's teacher didn't accept you?"
"Yes." Song Lan had no regrets. "The teacher said that I could study with everyone, but he didn't want to take on any more disciples."
There is not much to say about Song Dynasty porcelain. People with great knowledge always pay more attention to it.
Imperial examinations usually took place in groups, with several people acting as guarantors for each other. If one person cheated, everyone would forfeit the right to take the exam. If one studied alone, finding someone to act as a guarantor was extremely difficult, which was why Song Ci had gone to great lengths to get her brother accepted as a student of Teacher Lin Huo.
Anyone who can teach a student like Lin Huo must not be a bad person.
Next, she calculated the money she had. After selling the shops and goods, the money she earned could probably buy six or seven houses. She planned to sell one of them to Lin Huo without asking for permission later, and then he could pay her back when he had the money.
It can be considered a favor. The other party has helped her so much and has participated in Yunlan's affairs. She feels that she should repay the other party appropriately.
In this world, only the binding of interests is the strongest.
She acted quickly, and shortly after the spring began, sea transportation officially began.
In a short period of time, the prices of several shops she owned increased by more than five times. This made her very happy!
But she did not plan to sell the shop herself. The most important reason was that she did not want others to know her identity. The Song family was a nest of jackals and tigers. If they knew that she had such a large sum of money, they would probably do something.
She followed Song Laosan to Zhang Baiwan's house.
Zhang Baiwan's wife was also there. She had a long face and looked pleasant. She looked Song Ci up and down and smiled gently.
"I've always heard your father mention you. It's a coincidence that you're here as a guest today."
Song Ci smiled and bowed as a junior, "Hello, auntie."
The word "Auntie" instantly brought the two closer. After they sat down, they were served tea and snacks. The Zhang family had been doing business for generations, and Zhang Baiwan's generation was doing particularly well. The tea sets, tables and chairs used in the house were enough to show how wealthy they were.
After Bai sat down, she looked at Song Ci calmly.
The other person's appearance is amazing. Although she is still young, her appearance and figure have already taken shape, and she will only become more beautiful in the future.
What is even more commendable is that after entering the house, he did not look around, his eyes were clear, and he was pleasing at first sight.
Bai smiled and said, "You are indeed a beautiful girl. Your father never brings you out to meet us, so we know that you must be a treasure."
Song Ci lowered her eyes and smiled softly: "Thank you for the compliment, aunt."
Accepting it openly and without false humility will make people look at you with higher regard.
Song Laosan also straightened his chest, his daughter was naturally outstanding.
Zhang Baiwan came out immediately and explained why she came.
"You actually own several shops in good locations." Zhang Baiwan's eyes lit up, and then he was shocked. Although he knew that once the maritime ban was lifted, it was only a matter of time before the prices of the surrounding houses and shops would increase.
But he was able to have this knowledge and information channels thanks to the support of his family over the years and the information channels paved with money.
As for Song Ci, she is a girl who was raised in seclusion. It is remarkable that she has such knowledge and vision.
“Yes, I bought it by chance.”
Song Ci said it lightly, and Song Lao San was also surprised, but since they were outside, he didn't ask too much, so he would just wait and ask in detail later.
"You want to sell...it's actually not difficult." Zhang Baiwan rubbed his hands. "To be honest, niece, after the maritime ban was lifted, many of my businesses wanted to move there. With the support of the sea route, I think my business will be able to reach a higher level."
Hearing this, Song Ci could guess that Zhang Baiwan probably wanted to keep the shop, but she was only half right.
The business idea that Zhang Baiwan proposed next refreshed her thinking.
"These shops of yours are still yours, but I don't know if you'd like to buy some shares. From now on, my business will count as your 20% stake. You just need to let me use the shops."
In fact, when she thought about it carefully, this method was better. She didn't need to do anything and would get dividends every month. But right now she needed money to buy a house in the south, which was a problem.
"Niece, could it be that you need money now?" Zhang Baiwan saw the hesitation on her face. She hesitated in the face of such good conditions and was about to sell the shop. She must be short of money.
She nodded very straightforwardly, "Yes, I need some money now for other purposes."
Zhang Baiwan thought for a moment and said, "How about this? I'll give you as much money as you need, and then deduct the monthly dividends until all the money you owe is paid off."
This method is very good, but Zhang Baiwan is willing to lend me so much money in one go. If I default on the debt, the other party will have no way to do anything to me.
After much thought, she could only understand it as the vision of a businessman.
Zhang Baiwan didn't think so. If it were someone else, he would have to think twice before asking to borrow fifty taels. He might even ask them to sign a promissory note or use something they have on hand as collateral.
But Song Ci is different. Regardless of the friendship between Song Lao San and himself, the other party's investment vision is enough to make him trust him.
After the deal was done, Song Ci took the silver.
Bai smiled and said, "You seem to like this girl very much."
"Yes, if there is a younger generation in the family who is as talented as that girl, I will feel relieved." Zhang Baiwan sighed. He also has a son, but his son is not interested in doing business.
