But the houses in the east part of the city are not cheap. One month's rent can cost more than half of an official's salary.
Therefore, even if many low-level officials rent houses in the east side of the city, most of them rent the courtyard where they enter.
As for this kind of second-entry yard, I'm afraid it won't be very cheap.
In addition, this house looks very new, it must have been renovated not long ago.
Therefore, the more satisfied Hui Niang was, the more she beat the drum.
I don’t know how much the landlord would sell such a second-entry yard?
Although I came to the capital with a lot of money, I still had to calculate the expenses.
After all, if you want to do business, you still need capital. I haven't decided yet whether to rent a shop or buy a shop.
"I wonder how much the landlord is willing to sell this house?"
Hearing Huiniang's question, Yaren glanced at her secretly, and then said hesitantly.
"One thousand eighty... um... one thousand five hundred and eighty taels."
Originally he wanted to say one thousand eight hundred taels, but seeing Hui Niang frowning when she heard that horoscope, he immediately changed his mind to one thousand five hundred and eighty taels.
Even though she knew that the capital city couldn't compare with the county town, Huiniang couldn't help but take a breath when she heard the price.
You know, in the county town, you can buy a house with a larger yard than the current two-bedroom house for 180 taels.
When we arrived in the capital city, the price increased tenfold, but it was not as big or better as the yard in the county town.
"Madam, this yard is located in the east of the capital. At the current price, if the owner hadn't been in a hurry to sell it and go back to his hometown, you would never have been able to buy a yard like this at this price. I can't be a dentist in a day or two.
, it depends on credibility, if what I said is false, you can smash my sign."
In ancient times, word of mouth relied entirely on word of mouth. If a person's reputation was bad, it would be difficult for him to do this again in the future.
Hearing Yaren's words of assurance, Huiniang's originally hesitant mind immediately became firm.
However, you can't say how much is the same as what you say?
When Jiang Er went shopping with him before, he always said that when buying something, he had to bargain. If he didn't bargain, how would he know if the other party was willing to sell it cheap?
Therefore, after Huiniang was silent for a moment, she pointed at a few places to express her dissatisfaction, and then she sighed and said.
"My man followed Shangguan and settled here in the capital. I don't know what Shangguan's plan is, so I'm not that anxious about whether to buy a house in this capital. However, my son is studying here, and I am a mother.
, I always feel sorry for the children in the academy
I didn’t have enough food to eat, so I thought about buying a house so that he could have good food when he came back during the holidays. This capital is worthy of being a place where dignitaries live, and food, clothing, housing and transportation are so expensive.
If it’s too expensive, I’m afraid the man in my family won’t agree.”
When Yaren heard Huiniang's words, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch for a long time.
God, with this location, this yard, and this price, if the landlord hadn't designated the sale to this family, he would have borrowed money to buy the yard.
When the time comes, if you sell it, you will definitely earn thousands of taels of silver.
Now this price is already a bargain, and this lady actually wants to counter-offer?
However, thinking of what the landlord had told him, and the landlord's promise that as long as the business was completed, he would get ten times the commission, he immediately gritted his teeth and said to Huiniang.
"Madam, you may not know how much the house prices here are! As long as you ask around, you will know that you can make a profit by buying this yard at this price. However, since madam wants to counter-offer, then I will do it for the landlord.
I'll make the decision. I won't talk about those gimmicks or beat around the bush. I'll help you erase the small change and make it a whole thousand, five hundred taels. Do you think so?"
After just paying back the price, eighty taels of silver were wiped out. Hui Niang felt a sense of accomplishment.
"One thousand five hundred taels? This is not a small sum. Let me go back and discuss it with my man. If he agrees, I will give you a definite reply."
Yaren also knew that if he took the initiative again, Hui Niang would probably wonder if there was something wrong with the yard, so she would lower the price again and again!
Therefore, when he heard Hui Niang's words, he nodded in agreement.
After sending Huiniang to the small gate of Niu Mansion, Yaren drove away in his donkey cart.
After getting off the donkey cart, Huiniang returned to the room where they lived with a happy face. She happened to see Shi Xinhai and Shi Jiang whispering something with their heads next to each other.
Regardless of asking what they were talking about, he happily sat down, poured himself a cup of tea from the teapot on the table, and drank it in one gulp.
"Did you find a good house?"
Shi Xinhai patted the arm of his daughter, who had been pestering him just now, asking him to relieve her grounding, as a gesture of comfort, and then turned to look at his wife. Seeing that she was in such a good mood, he must have found a suitable house.
"Yes, one thousand five hundred taels, which is not much bigger than Niu's house. I remember Mrs. Niu said last time that they spent more than two thousand taels to buy this house."
Hearing Huiniang's proud expression, Shi Xinhai frowned immediately.
"Why is a good house sold so cheaply? Isn't it because there are some entanglements in it that we don't know about that make it so cheap?"
After hearing her husband's words, Huiniang regained her senses and nodded.
"Indeed, originally the landlord said that the landlord asked for one thousand five hundred and eighty taels, but I couldn't help but pay back the price. Unexpectedly, they actually wiped out the small change for me. I was also a little uneasy at the time, fearing that something might happen.
I didn’t know anything, so I couldn’t hold back and agreed.”
After Huiniang finished speaking, Shi Xinhai said in agreement.
"Don't rush to tell Yaman about the purchase. I'll go and find out more about the situation."
Shi Jiang on the side almost had a cramp at the corner of his mouth.
Isn't she too alert to cheap parents?
It seems that Tianyi has to be careful when sending Tiansi to him.
And the price of this house, don't make any more concessions, otherwise, Shi Xinhai will never buy the yard just in case, just in case.
Sure enough, Shi Xinhai went out to inquire about the news the next day.
However, there is nothing wrong with the yard itself, so naturally no problem can be found.
However, Tianyi let people know that he was in a hurry to return to his hometown, so he sold the yard at a low price.
So, on the next day, Yaren took several groups of people to see the house.
After hearing the news and learning from her husband that there was no big problem with the yard, Huiniang naturally didn't hesitate anymore and went straight to Yaren to pay for the transfer of the house.
When Yaren thought about the money he was about to get, he couldn't suppress the smile on his lips and said to Huiniang who had received the house deed.
"Since Madam has bought this house, I wonder if the cook, maid, and servant will also buy some back. After all, the house is so big, it is hard for Madam to clean it by herself!"
