After once again confirming his guess, Mr. Ma saluted Mrs. Gui again: "I want to buy a yard in Baguajing Lane. Could you please help me show the way to see which house is willing to sell it?"
Madam Gui covered her mouth and laughed: "It's really strange. Since the Chen family moved here, our house in Baguajing Lane has been particularly popular. How many people want to buy it, and they all say it is a paradise!
"
Mr. Ma nodded repeatedly: Isn’t it the paradise of cave heaven?
There are noble people appearing at every turn, and everyone can put down their airs. There is no place like this in small alleys!
"The same yard in the next alley only costs 800 taels, but here it costs 1,600 taels. Let me tell you, why don't you go to the next alley and have a look?" Lady Gui suggested kindly.
Mr. Ma was speechless: Lord, are the houses in this alley so expensive?
You know, in the frontier fortress, a large courtyard only costs a hundred taels of silver!
...In the end, with the help of Mrs. Gui, Mr. Ma bought a two-entry yard in Baguajing Lane. Because of the high time requirements and the high asking price, he actually spent a full two thousand taels of silver!
However, standing at the entrance of the yard, looking at Chen Qingshan's house diagonally across the way, and Mr. Dongfang's house diagonally across the other side...
Mr. Ma instantly felt: This money is worth spending!
Mrs. Gui, who was thanked by Master Ma in gold and silver, smiled so much that she couldn't even see her eyes: "Master Ma, if you need work and renovation here, just come to me. I also live across from your house. Our man specializes in helping people with renovations.
of the house…”
"Okay. Thank you very much!" Mr. Ma was very humble: No one in this alley knows who can speak in front of Chen Qingshan and his wife and Dongfang and his wife, so don't offend them!
Lady Gui said goodbye to Master Ma. She had just walked about ten steps when she ran into a carriage.
A well-dressed maid came down from the carriage: "Ms. Gui, didn't you help us negotiate for the house before? How is the negotiation going? Why is there no news yet?"
The smile on Mrs. Gui's face had not faded away. After hearing this, she pointed directly at the door of the courtyard where Ma Tengyun was standing: "Here! Don't you think it's expensive? This person doesn't dislike it. He bought it."
And the money they gave me for information was much more generous than what you gave me!
You just promised to give you twenty taels of silver when the matter is completed, and Master Ma directly gave you ten taels!
It's a good thing that you are still the Minister's Mansion!
Be stingy!
a shame!
When the maid heard this, her eyes widened: "Hey! You...don't you have a first-come, first-served basis? How could you just change hands and introduce him to others?"
Lady Gui also widened her eyes: "You think it's too expensive, so you didn't give me a deposit. It's not my house, so how can I keep it for you? If others want it, I will naturally introduce it to them!"
"But we told you first! How could you do this?" The maid looked hurt and betrayed.
Lady Gui was also really domineering, and she directly retorted: "Why can't it be like this?"
"But our Vice Minister's Mansion..." The servant girl was so angry that she couldn't even finish her sentence!
"The silver in your palace is bigger than other people's money. Is it more valuable? Others paid 2,000 taels of silver to buy the yard, so I should give you 800 taels to make the deal?!" Lady Gui spoke like a firecracker.
, crackled, and shocked the maid until she was speechless!
"Huarui, stop talking." A man's voice came from the carriage, with a hint of femininity in his voice, "Go and tell the person who bought the yard that we are willing to add two hundred taels to his price.
Buy it."
"Master!" The maid looked back at the carriage in disbelief, but heard the person inside the carriage say without question: "Go quickly!"
Ma Tengyun felt that he should go into the courtyard, not at the entrance of the courtyard, but the maid came over with a condescending look.
Ma Tengyun didn't wait for her to speak and said directly: "I won't sell it."
"You!" The maid looked at Ma Tengyun in disbelief.
Ma Tengyun confirmed again: "I am not selling this yard."
"You can make two hundred taels of silver by changing hands, but you don't want to sell it?" The maid's eyes looked like she was looking at a fool.
Ma Tengyun: "I'm not short of money, I won't sell it."
"How dare you not give honor to the palace?!" the maid's voice became louder.
"How prestigious is the Minister's Mansion?" A young man's voice came from behind the maid. The maid turned around, and when she saw clearly who was coming, she was frightened out of her wits, and knelt down with a thud: "Your Highness... Your Highness?!"
"I never knew that the people in Mr. Lou's house can buy and sell anything they like outside." The prince was dressed in regular clothes and his tone was not harsh, but the maid was so frightened that her whole body was like chaff.
.
His Highness the Prince looked at the silent carriage: "What? Mr. Lou, I am here, so I am not qualified to let you get off the carriage?"
Lou Qiye, who wanted to pretend to be a quail, rolled off the carriage with sweat on his face: "Your Highness, I am rude, I just wanted to buy a yard, closer to Xiuxiu..."
"So you are going to buy and sell by force?!" His Royal Highness the Prince interrupted Lou Qiye.
Lou Qiye was sweating like rain: "I didn't mean that..."
"But you've all done this, so why don't you mean it this way?" His Highness the Crown Prince glanced at Ma Tengyun.
Ma Tengyun bowed silently, with a very respectful attitude.
The movement in the alley had already alerted others, and there were people watching the excitement from a distance.
Cui Xiuxiu also came out with her child in her arms. She looked at Lou Qiye who was kneeling on the ground and chuckled: "Mr. Lou, I, Cui Xiuxiu, am a merchant and I am not worthy of being the lintel of Lou's house. You don't need to spend any time on me. I'm watching
Girl Huarui is very good, I advise you to cherish the person in front of you!"
Hua Rui is Lou Qiye's first-in-law girl. At that time, Lou Qiye said that he didn't like Hua Rui and that it was all arranged by his mother. However, now Hua Rui is always with her when he goes out and in. It can be seen that this "dislike" is also false.
Lou Qiye glanced at Hua Rui, whose face turned pale. He glanced at Cui Xiuxiu with implicit gratitude, then lowered his head and did not dare to speak.
"Xiuxiu, I really can't let you go...and the child also needs a father..." Lou Qiye still wanted to play the affectionate card, but His Royal Highness was no longer interested in watching the show. He turned around and walked towards Chen Qingshan: It's time to go to dinner.
I have to practice martial arts in the afternoon!
Lou Qiye has been pestering Cui Xiuxiu for more than a day or two: Ever since Cui Xiuxiu gave birth to a son, and Lou Qiye was determined to be a useless person, with no possibility of giving birth to an heir, Lou Qiye has been pestering her often.
Of course, this inevitably involves Mrs. Lou's efforts and compromises to keep her wife.
But no matter what, Cui Xiuxiu didn't accept the move...
That evening, Qiao Xiaofu held the latest Tianxiangfang shareholders' meeting.
Mr. Ma looked at the people sitting at the big round table and felt as if he was about to take off.
The prince of the current dynasty, the young grandson of the Duke of the country... actually sat at the same table with me to discuss the future development plans of Tianxiangfang!
