After the whole family was swept away, I lay down flat

Chapter 394 Buying a Property
Hai Jiao had long wanted to persuade Jin Jiashu to settle in Chang'an and officially moved to the city.

Jin Jiashu had lived in the Zhou family's three-bedroom villa before, and in a small suburban village specially arranged by the old military advisor, but it was not until he moved into the Hai family that he settled in Chang'an City. He seems to be more accustomed to rural life, but life in the city is indeed more convenient. It is convenient to contact the Zhou family, meet friends, and study. Both Hai Jiao and Zhou Yijun advised him to buy a house or rent a house in the city, and he was not unmoved.

However, he still had concerns about the second room of the Jin family. He was worried that they would come to his door and pester him when he lived in the city, so he was reluctant to make a decision.

The prefect's Yamen has recently had a series of major and important cases to be tried, and the small case of the Jin family's second room cannot be ranked at all. Moreover, the physical evidence and documents involved in the case have to wait for the local government in Zunhua Prefecture, where the Jin family is from, to be sent, and they will be returned in a while. If the court cannot be held, the case cannot be adjudicated. The second member of the Jin family had no choice but to stay in Chang'an, and the family rented an old house near the old temple to live. According to the news from the errand boys, Jin Xin was worried about money and had already visited the pawn shop twice. I don’t know how long the second wife of the Jin family can carry the belongings they brought from their hometown!

Jin Jiashu knew that Jin Xin and his son had been asking for information about him everywhere, just to get money. Currently, he is staying in the Hai family, and he is not worried that they will come to his door. But if he buys a house in the city, once the news leaks out, he will be a clear target. If he recruits the second member of the Jin family, wouldn't it be very troublesome?

Jin Jiashu has been unable to make up his mind and does not want to refuse the proposals of his friends. Now he is troubled.

In the past, Hai Jiao just hoped that he would live closer to him so that he could come and go easily in the future. As long as the friendship between the two parties was maintained, there would always be a chance to benefit from him after he came to Beijing in the future. But he didn't have any special requirements for the address of Jin Jiashu's new house, as long as it was in the city.

But now, he doesn't think so anymore.

Since he wanted Jin Jiashu to be their neighbor in the Hai family, he had to be more proactive about certain things.

Hai Jiao turned around and went out, working outside until dark before returning home. Haitang didn't know what he was doing. After dinner, she was about to ask him, but she saw him giving her a wink: "Let's go talk to Xiao Jin."

The brother and sister walked towards the second entrance. On the way, Haijiao hurriedly explained to his younger sister: "I found a suitable property nearby, so I told him and urged him to buy it as soon as possible. Otherwise, if he misses it, he will buy it again." It’s hard to find such a nice place.”

Haitang stopped and said, "If you are looking for him to talk about buying a property, why did you call me? It's late at night, even if you have my brother with you, it's not appropriate for me to go see him, right? It's time for grandma to talk about it later. "

Hai Jiao said: "What's the matter? Duke Zhen Guo has withdrawn his soldiers. Now, besides Jin Jiashu, there is only Xiao Dao in the second courtyard. Xiao Dao is a member of our family and won't talk nonsense. Follow me. There is no taboo in meeting Xiao Jin. Besides, I want you to tell him the news about Concubine Xu Xian. If you don't come forward, do you want me to tell him that I read your girl's correspondence?"

Haitang laughed twice, understanding her brother's intention: "Do you want him to discover the clues in Wu Qiong's letter by himself? I'm afraid that he doesn't know the past and won't think of the key points at all. Brother, you have to find a way to guide him. OK."

Of course Hai Jiao will try to guide Jin Jiashu to think in the direction he wants, and he will continue to be a smart good friend and help Jin Jiashu "come up with ideas".

The brother and sister came to the second courtyard and knocked on the door of the main house. Cui Xiaodao came to open the door, and Haijiao Haitang entered the house, only to find Jin Jiashu practicing walking while holding on to the wall. It has been three months since his injury. He doesn't need crutches now and can barely walk, but he can't walk fast.

When Jin Jiashu saw their brother and sister visiting at night, he couldn't help showing a surprised expression on his face. He hurriedly invited them to sit down and asked Cui Xiaodao to pour tea.

Cui Xiaodao brought tea and then went to the kitchen to boil bath water with a wooden bucket.

Hai Jiao took the opportunity and said to Jin Jiashu: "Didn't you say before that you wanted to find a house in the city, rent it or buy it, that would be closer to me and Zhou Yijun, so that it would be convenient for us to go back and forth in the future?" Jin Jiashu's eyes were a little vacant, right? : "Ah...yeah..." This was actually a suggestion from two friends, but he didn't refuse it at the time and complied with it. It could be considered that he did have such an idea.

Hai Jiao pretended not to hear the ambiguity in his words and said with a smile: "Today I heard from a classmate in the School of Health that a cousin of his relatives was transferred to Taiyuan with his boss last month. He recently wrote When the letter came back, he said that he had a good relationship in Taiyuan and was planning to buy a house there to settle down. Since he didn't have enough money on hand, he planned to sell his house in Chang'an City. He had just bought two or three of the house. Years of work have gone into it. It was renovated when I bought it. It is at least 80% new now. The courtyard with two entrances has eight or nine rooms. It is more than enough for you and a few servants. There is also space for building. A new house. My classmate is selling the house on behalf of his cousin. Because the sale is urgent, as long as the buyer is willing to pay the full amount in cash, the price can be as high as one hundred and fifty taels. What do you think? "

Jin Jiashu was startled: "This..." One hundred and fifty taels of silver to buy a two-entry house in Chang'an City? It does sound quite affordable, and he just happens to have no shortage of cash...

Hai Jiao added: "You'd better make a decision quickly. Such a good thing will be lost if you miss it. I hope you can buy this house. It happens to be in our alley, similar to our home." They are separated by one house, but their backyards are adjacent. I looked over the wall of our backyard and could still see the big tree in his yard!"

Haitang had been listening quietly, but after hearing this, she quickly asked: "Is that the owner of the jujube tree? It's really close. There is a section of wall in our two backyards that overlaps."

"Yes, it's his house!" Hai Jiao smiled and turned to Jin Jiashu, "If you buy it, it's so close, I can go to your place with my feet. Even if I'm delayed at night, I'm not afraid of the curfew. You can get home just by climbing over the wall!"

It sounds more appealing that way.

Jin Jiashu glanced towards Haitang subconsciously, but when Haitang noticed it and looked back, he had already looked away: "One hundred and fifty taels, two yards of the yard, and it's still 80% new. It's really not Expensive. I wonder if I can go and take a look?"

"No problem!" Hai Jiao had already told someone, "I can go tomorrow. I'll go to the health school to say hello to my classmates, and I'll accompany you when I get back from school. Buying a house is a big deal, so I won't see it with my own eyes. How?"

That's it.

Buying a house is just the beginning, the next step is the focus.

Hai Jiao suddenly showed a somewhat hesitant expression and said to Jin Jiashu: "Well...since you have decided to give birth in Chang'an and you must be planning to live there for a long time, are you going to settle here? What about Jingli?" What's the matter... I wonder what the plan is?"

Jin Jiashu blinked, without any change in his expression: "Why did Brother Hai suddenly ask about this? The Duke of Zhen Guo said that he would arrange for me to settle down, and I would be able to take the imperial examination in the future. I can go to the capital when I rush to take the exam. But this is all It’s just a matter of not having a shadow, God knows if I really have that ability?”

Hai Jiao laughed dryly: "You are so smart, and with my cousin's guidance on your homework, you will definitely pass the exam!" Then he paused, "Actually, it's... the person who was taken hostage by the Sun family's minions a few days ago. Miss Wu, she is now on good terms with my little sister. In her daily correspondence, she talks about some past events when she lived in the palace when she was a child, and she mentioned... your aunt..."

Hai Jiao looked at Haitang, who took over the conversation knowingly: "Brother and I think that you might be interested in your aunt's affairs and want to hear about her experience. We can also learn more about her when we get together in the capital in the future. point."
