The men were stared at by the jade steward, and they didn't know what was going on. They became inexplicably nervous. Could it be that the other party heard what they were talking about the dog farm just now, and wanted to take revenge?
After receiving Qiao Xin's reminder, Butler Yu sat down at the table amicably, took the initiative to pour a bowl of wine for everyone, and then explained his purpose.
"Excuse me, brothers. I just heard you talking about Mr. Wang's house. I want to know the details. To be honest, my master just came to the capital and wants to find a big house to stay. This meal is a small reward for my treat."
Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief!
So that’s why!
This news is known to everyone in West Street. It is probably just these outsiders who are not very clear about it.
However, the host was really generous. He spent money on such a large table as soon as he said it!
They suddenly felt like they were being given special attention!
As the saying goes, a person who eats someone's food should be grateful and a person who takes someone's food should be soft-handed.
Butler Yu learned the whole story by eating and drinking. The other party, for the sake of a table of delicious food, told him everything he knew, even the gossip in the past.
After listening to Butler Yu's report, Qiao Xin was a little unbelievable and stopped drinking tea.
"That's all?"
"Mr. Wang's house is actually a three-story building that took less than three years to build. More importantly, he was a grain merchant before he became seriously ill, and he built many granaries and cellars in the garden.
Unfortunately, Mr. Wang never had a son in his life, only a daughter. I heard that she will get married at the end of next month. He plans to sell some houses and other things that he can't take care of before he leaves, as a dowry for his daughter. Everything else is easy to sell, but this house is the only thing that can't be sold no matter what. "
"Who lived in this house before the problem occurred?"
"He is her wife's distant nephew."
Qiao Xin put the coarse porcelain bowl on the table and said, "Let's go and take a look!"
"......"
Butler Yu seemed to be choked by his own saliva!
The old lady is so decisive that she joins in the fun. Hasn't she heard that it's a haunted house that can't be sold?
Why are you not taboo about anything?
It turns out that when he deals with the old lady in the future, he not only needs to exercise his brain, but also his courage!
Otherwise, how could he keep up with Qiao Xin's pace and please the head of the family?
It is not easy to be the chief butler. Butler Yu seems to have a secret in his mind. He obviously applied for the position in Qiao's family just to be the butler of an empty house!
No matter what Butler Yu said, he couldn't let Qiao Xin come in person.
It was just buying a house, and it was enough for him, the steward of the outer courtyard, to come forward. Qiao Xin went there in person, which was really a compliment to the Wang family.
After much persuasion, Qiao Xin was allowed to wait here.
After about a cup of tea, Butler Yu came back with two young ladies, about fourteen or fifteen years old, who were obviously the master and servant.
Butler Yu first stepped forward to report, "Madam, that is the young lady who is in charge of the Wang family. I would like to ask you to give me a chance to talk to her in person."
Qiao Xin glanced over there and said, "Send someone over..."
Miss Wang Caiwei of the Wang family, as her name suggests, is elegant yet charming. Her straight back at that moment showed her stubbornness, but her eyes could not hide her fatigue.
Qiao Xin poured a cup of tea for the other party and asked directly: "Little girl, does it require you, the head of the family, to come in person to buy a house?"
"Madam, you have misunderstood. This courtyard is different from other places. Rumors are everywhere. I can't let you buy it without knowing the truth. I'd better explain it to you in person."
"It's just haunted, I bought it because I had a plan."
Wang Caiwei gritted her teeth: "Madam, are you really not afraid?"
"The human heart is scarier than ghosts. Besides, the ghosts in this house have no grudges against me, so there is nothing to worry about. When the time comes, I don't mind spending a little more money to hire a few Taoist priests to help them transcend."
"this....."
Qiao Xin said meaningfully, "Ms. Wang, if you don't want to buy this house, just tell me. I never force anyone. Whether the ghost in this house is man-made or real, I'm afraid no one knows better than you."
The reason why she was fond of this house was, firstly, its large area, and secondly, the back door of the yard was next to the moat. In the future, things transported by water from Lao Hu Town could be directly transported to the back door and stored.
But it’s not necessary to do so.
"Why do you want to do this, old lady? I really want to sell it, but I can't go against my conscience and cheat others."
"Did this so-called haunted phenomenon start when you were planning to sell it? Your people are against you doing this, right?"
"yes!"
"You converted it all into silver and took it to your husband's family. What will they divide up in the future?"
Wang Caiwei smiled bitterly: "So the Madam has already seen it!"
Qiao Xin stared at her and said, "When Butler Yu appeared in front of you, you should have known his identity, so you approached the buyer in the name of selling the house. You had your own agenda, but the first few buyers did not meet your expectations.
Don't beat around the bush, just tell me what you saw me do?"
"Madam, I am willing to give away all my belongings and ask for your protection!" Wang Caiwei looked at Qiao Xin with a respectful face. She decided to take a gamble.
Although she didn't know whether Qiao Xin could be trusted, she couldn't wait any longer, and there was no one else she could trust and entrust to. If she kept on waiting, she would be gnawed by the group of wolves, tigers and leopards, leaving nothing but bones. She had no other choice.
