Chapter 742 Entering the Palace (5)
Caiwei said: "I want to buy an independent house. The location does not need to be good, and the house does not need to be luxurious. It can have two or three entrances. As long as the place is clean and convenient for travel. "
When Jiang Zhongren heard this, he immediately agreed. There were too many such houses, and he had four or five in his hands. It seemed that another deal could be concluded today.
Jiang Zhongren told her about the houses that met Caiwei's requirements one by one, and suggested that she choose a three-entry house located south of the city center. That house had a good location and a large area, with more than a dozen rooms. There is also a small pond with a lot of lotus flowers in it. The only drawback is that the house is too old, and the houses in the front and back yards are already crumbling. They can be blown down by a gust of wind. It is a house with about a hundred buildings. An old house with many years of history!
On the left side of the house is a nunnery that is not very popular. On the right side, it used to be an oil mill. However, a fire broke out in the oil mill and two workers were burned to death inside. The ancients were very superstitious and believed that a place where people died was unlucky. , so it became empty and gradually became a ruin.
The owner of the house was originally a scholar. Because he failed in many trials and his family was in decline, he had the idea of abandoning his studies and going into business. Since he had no capital, he was determined to sell the ancestral house. Because the location of the house was not good, and the house was It's too old, so it only costs two thousand taels.
After the interaction of buying Zhuangzi last time, Caiwei believed what Jiang Zhongren said, and immediately took a car to see the house. As expected, it was exactly the same as what Jiang Zhongren said.
The owner of the house, whose surname is Dai Mingyuanshan, is a scholar in his forties. He has a fair face, a gentle manner, small but sharp eyes, and a calm and measured manner. At a glance, you can tell that he is a gentleman who behaves properly in the world.
Caiwei did not bargain with this down-and-out gentleman. He asked for two thousand taels, so she agreed without saying a word. She immediately took out a deposit of one ingot and five taels of gold, and made an appointment to wait until the Dai family moved out the next day. Go home and make up the remaining money.
It only took half a day to finalize the purchase of a mansion worth two thousand taels. For Caiwei, this was no longer a big deal. The era of her grand ambitions was coming, and this mere two thousand taels purchase , in her opinion, it is really not worth mentioning...
In the afternoon, she took Grandma Dou and Huanqiu around for an afternoon, and also had a big meal at the most famous Jufudou Restaurant in the capital. The reason why she chose to eat at Jufudou was because she wanted to hear about the best news in the capital today. Hilarious news.
The diners of Juford did not disappoint her, and indeed they brought the latest first-hand news.
"Hey, have you heard? The Marquis of Wuchang woke up, learned that his life was gone, and passed out again..."
"Hey, it's not just that his life is gone. I heard that the palace sent someone to reprimand him for his misbehavior. I think he has fallen out of favor with the emperor and the noble concubine, and I'm afraid he will be sad in the future!"
"It's sad that he still has a life. It's better than the family of the eldest grandson of Duke An Guo. I wonder if you have heard that that family was bitten to death by venomous snakes last night. Snakes are everywhere in Duke An's mansion, and there are also special The son picks the master and bites him, it’s really an evil thing..."
"The old lady was also bitten. Although she has woken up now, it is a pity that she has had sequelae and cannot get up from the bed. The imperial doctor said she will never get up again in this life..."
These gossips really made Caiwei happy. She finished her meal in a good mood, walked around for a while, bought a wooden carved pony for Wen'er and Wu'er, and then went back to Bishui Villa with unfinished thoughts.
The next day, Caiwei got up very early because the parrot came last night to report that Concubine Jin would send her to the palace in the morning, so she got up early, dressed, washed, and ate. After getting ready, she sat down Waiting quietly in the pavilion of Huifang Garden.
