Chapter 126
126. When you first arrive in the imperial capital, buy a house
Everything went well with Lin Qingxi. After taking the train for two days, she finally arrived at the imperial capital on the third day. As soon as she got off the train, it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon. She called a rickshaw to the vicinity of the Imperial Capital University and found a guesthouse to stay in.
Fortunately, before leaving, Zhou Guitang gave a few more blank letters of introduction, which saved Lin Qingxi a lot of trouble. She opened a single room with the letter of introduction.
At the front desk, Lin Qingxi came to the room, put down her things, and took her quick clothes and toiletries to the bathhouse downstairs to take a shower.
After taking a shower, she went out and returned to the room to dry her hair. It was already past five o'clock. She didn't bother to find a house and took a rickshaw to a nearby state-owned hotel.
As soon as I entered the state-owned hotel, Lin Qingxi looked at the menu. Sure enough, the state-owned hotels in the imperial capital are more types than those in Qinghe City, and they are even more expensive.
"A bowl of mixed sauce noodles," Lin Qingxi took the train for two days and ate the rice ball for two days. She had no appetite at all, so she ordered a bowl of special mixed sauce noodles from the imperial capital.
Soon, the noodles were all gone. After Lin Qingxi finished her meal, she returned to the guesthouse like a walk, and saw the eldest sister at the front desk sitting at the counter and sucking her soles.
"Sister, ask you something. This is the case. My brother and my sister-in-law are going to be transferred to work in the imperial capital. I want to ask if there is a house nearby? If so, please ask my elder sister to be an intermediary. If it is done, I will invite everyone to have dinner at the state-owned restaurant." Lin Qingxi said as she grabbed the milk candy from her pocket and handed it over.
"This matter! Just look for me. There is nothing I don't know nearby. How big a house do you want?" The eldest sister looked around and saw that no one saw it. She quickly put the milk candy in her pocket, and then she smiled and said.
"My nephews and nieces have four, plus my elder brother and sister-in-law are six, so I have to have a room for each person. After all, I have two older nephews, one fifteen and one thirteen, and the two younger ones are also eleven and nineteen years old," Lin Qingxi said with a smile, and what he said was half true and half false.
"There is really a place that meets your requirements. There is an old couple in front of them. They are professors from the Imperial Capital University, and their son is a soldier. The old couple was taken to the army to live, so they wanted to sell the house. Anyway, the two elders will live with their son in the future and will not come back. If you want it, I will take you to see it?"
The front desk elder sister said with a smile, but in fact, the two elders went to the army to hide for ten years. Their son is an officer. When they heard some rumors, they wanted to take their parents over and live together.
"Okay! Then I'll bother my elder sister to lead the way," Lin Qingxi nodded. If the house was OK, she wanted to buy it. She only recognized the house. Other things had nothing to do with him.
"Okay, you can wait for me a little bit. I'll call someone to get off work for me. I'll take you to see the house," the front desk lady said and left. After a while, she brought a little girl to come with her.
"Let's go!" After the front desk elder sister settled down, she took Lin Qingxi away. The two walked for about ten minutes and then arrived in an alley. They walked into the alley for three yard gates. The front desk elder sister stopped and knocked on the fourth yard.
"Shuying, why are you here? Is this?" The door was opened from inside, and an elegant old lady wearing a cheongsam with a hairpin on her head and a head full of silver hair.
"Auntie, I want to buy a house. I'll take her to see the house," said the front desk elder sister Duan Shuying respectfully. Lin Qingxi, who was standing behind, looked calm. No wonder she was selling so well. It turned out to be the house of a relative.
"Hello, old lady, I'm here to see the house. I heard from this elder sister that your house is going to be sold. I wonder if I can go in and take a look?" Lin Qingxi came up and took the junior greeting and asked respectfully.
"If you want to sell, please come in, Shuying, take this girl everywhere! Your uncle and I are waiting for you in the living room of the front yard," the old lady said, and then asked Lin Qingxi and the others to come in.
"Okay, aunt, then I'll take the little girl around to see it," Duan Shuying said, then took Lin Qingxi to look around, and she introduced the entire house to Lin Qingxi.
The yard is a pseudo-second yard. There are three main rooms in the front yard, one living room, kitchen and bathroom each. There is also a well in the yard. The bathroom is not only equipped with a toilet, but also tap water, but the water volume is very small. There are three main rooms in the back yard, one warehouse and five rooms each in the east and west wing rooms, and a small rockery garden with a small pond in the garden.
"Girl, how are you looking? Would you like to buy it?" Duan Shuying took Lin Qingxi around the entire yard and returned to the living room of the front yard. The old lady and her husband were sitting on chairs waiting for Lin Qingxi.
"Old sir, old lady, I'm quite satisfied with your house. Are you willing to pay for it?" Lin Qingxi said straight to the point without hiding her love for the house.
"This house is where we both live for the rest of our lives. If you are willing to buy it, just take it for 3,000 yuan! We only have one requirement, that is, we hope you can treat everything in the house well," the old lady looked at the old man, saw him nodding slightly before speaking.
"I understand, old lady, if you have the chance in the future, you are welcome to visit your home. However, we are ordinary people. Some layouts in the house will probably be changed, but they will not destroy the overall house." Lin Qingxi thought for a while, and then let's see which of the four houses are given to Yizheng in the future!
"We understand, we will definitely come if we have the chance in the future," the old lady smiled, looking at Lin Qingxi with a kind and kind look.
"Let's go! Girl, let's go to transfer the house! Shuying, you can accompany your aunt to sit at home for a while," the old man saw that his wife had made up his mind, so he was about to go to the study to get the deed.
"Old lady, sister, I'll go back to the guesthouse to get the money and household registration book first. I will wait for the old gentleman at the Housing Management Bureau," Lin Qingxi said, and stood up and left.
Although Lin Qingxi put everything in the space, it was obvious that she could not hide these things on her body, so she thought about going to the guesthouse, and it was easy to talk about the source of money and household registration book.
After returning to the guesthouse, Lin Qingxi took out three thousand yuan from the space and found a cross-body cloth bag. She put the three thousand yuan and household registration book in the cloth bag, took two packs of cigarettes and half a kilo of milk candy in the bag to spare, and then went out.
After leaving the guesthouse, she directly called a rickshaw to the housing management office. When she arrived at the housing management office, she saw that the old man was already waiting in the housing management office.
