Surprise! The rough husband is the hidden boss of the period literature

Chapter 216 Siheyuan

Huo Chi was completely dazed and lay on the ground for a long time. After Jiang Xingye walked away, he got up, rushed forward and strangled Jiang Xingye's neck. Jiang Xingye turned sideways and threw Huo Chi to the ground again.

This action of the two attracted a lot of people to watch.

Not far away, a senior officer beside Huo Zhenting pointed at Jiang Xingye and said with a smile, "Do you know this kid's background? If he were in the army, he would definitely be a fierce general!"

Huo Zhenting shook his head, "He refused."

After he saw Jiang Xingye for the first time, he sent people to investigate him. He also knew that someone had tried to recruit him, but he refused to join the army.

"Why wouldn't he? The army needs him, how dare he resist?"

Huo Zhenting smiled and said, "Everyone has their own aspirations. Any position can contribute to the motherland. Since he doesn't want to, why force him? Besides, the country's main task now is to develop production. This kid is doing very well in the countryside."

“Oh, what a talent!”

Huo Zhenting naturally valued this son-in-law very much, so he told him everything Jiang Xingye had done. "I heard that they are going to set up a furniture factory in the future to generate income for the production team. They are very excited about it, but you insist on interfering with it. I don't approve of your behavior."

This person also understood the meaning of Huo Zhenting's words, but he did not expect that Huo Zhenting would protect Jiang Xingye so much and gave up the idea of ​​using his power to gain benefits.

"Brother Ye, Brother Ye, wait for me!" Huo Chi finally came back to his senses. He didn't even know how he lost. When he wanted to admit defeat, he could only admire Jiang Xingye.

The three of them went to get the money and then went to the house that Huo Zhui mentioned, which was located in Nanluoguxiang.

The man selling the house was named Xie Yunzhai, a young man in his twenties. He had a good relationship with Huo Zhui and also knew Huo Chi. When he heard that he was introducing Xu Qinghuan to buy the house, he deliberately looked at Xu Qinghuan several times.

Huo Chi pulled Xie Yunzhai aside and said, "Brother Yun, Dr. Xu's fiancé is also my good friend. Dr. Xu is my brother's savior. You can't sell this house too high. Name a realistic price. If Dr. Xu bargains, I'll pay the extra money."

Xie Yunzhai was quite surprised. Huo Zhui was not one to accept favors lightly. He nodded and said, "The money is easy to talk about. The main thing is this house. It would be better if we can find someone who knows the value of it."

This house is the ancestral home of the Xie family. The Xie family returned to Beijing recently because the policies have been relaxed a little. Everyone is heartbroken and plans to go abroad.

Xu Qinghuan knew what Huo Chi was talking about with Xie Yunzhai. She didn't have much money, less than 6,000 yuan in total. This courtyard house had three entrances and more than ten rooms.

At that time, the housing price was two hundred yuan per room. Needless to say, the location was very expensive. Even if we calculated the most expensive price, it would be three hundred yuan per room, which would only be four or five thousand yuan.

Nowadays, people who can afford four or five thousand yuan to buy a house don’t need to buy one, such as the Huo family.

Those who want to buy a house naturally cannot afford such a large sum of money.

Xie Yunzhai's family had not moved out yet, so he took Xu Qinghuan and the other two to go in and see that there were three back rooms connected to the Ruyi Gate. In the past, this was where servants lived or used as a study to entertain guests.

The screen wall is carved from a large piece of Taihu stone, with a huge upside-down Chinese character "Fu" placed on top.

There is a courtyard behind the hanging flower gate. There are water lilies in several large water tanks under the eaves. There are two rooms on the east and west sides, which are quite spacious. There are three main rooms facing north and south, two side rooms on the west, and a hall to the back on the east.

There is a row of four back rooms at the back, which are not very large and are usually used for servants to live in. In ancient times, if there were many children, it would be where the daughters lived. One of the rooms was used as a kitchen, and the other three were empty.

There are quite a few rooms, a total of sixteen. The main house is furnished with all the same kind of pearwood furniture. There is a step-out bed in the main house, and a bunk bed in each of the east and west wing rooms.

The doors and windows are all made of fine mahogany, and there is no shortage of furniture in the front back room and the back room.

In terms of price, around 4,800 is not expensive.

After bargaining, four thousand five is a more suitable price.

Xie Yunzhai only asked for four thousand. Huo Chi's eyes widened, almost staring him to death. He regretted not explaining it to him clearly. He just asked for two thousand yuan as a token of his gratitude, and the Huo family would make up for the shortfall. After all, Xu Qinghuan was already the Huo family's goddaughter, so a dowry and a house were no problem.

Xie Yunzhai's idea was that the other party would definitely bargain, and he would just go along with it. If the price was too low, he would dare to sell, but others would not dare to buy.

"Okay!" Xu Qinghuan said straightforwardly. The price was much lower than she expected. It was probably because of the relationship with the Huo family. The other party's offer was not high, so Xu Qinghuan naturally would not be greedy.

The transaction went smoothly. Xu Qinghuan didn't know how the seller felt, but she was quite satisfied.

The house should have been recently renovated and you can move in right away.

At that time, there were many courtyard houses in Yancheng, but the owners were almost all suffering in the countryside or on farms, so the houses were put into custody and basically occupied by tenants.

You can't drive them away even if you rush them.

Even though the house was later returned, the tenants had permanent residency rights due to relevant policies.

It’s not that there aren’t any houses as clean as Xie Yunzhai’s, but it’s not easy to get one.

Huo Chi was even more shocked and asked directly, "Do you have money?"

Xu Qinghuan rolled his eyes at him.

Xie Yunzhai was quite embarrassed. He asked tentatively, "Do you want a lower price?"

Xu Qinghuan was a little confused. Who was the buyer?

However, it also proved that his guess was correct. Xie Yunzhai must be planning to give him a low price for the sake of the Huo family.

She doesn't like to take advantage of others. If she can afford it, she buys it. If she can't afford it, she doesn't buy it. There is no need to owe others favors for such things.

Both parties had a great time. Xie Yunzhai invited Xu Qinghuan and others to have tea. His mother came out to entertain them personally. She was limping on one leg and was very enthusiastic.

Xu Qinghuan took a look and said, "Auntie, if you don't mind, let me take a look at your legs!"

Mother Xie smiled and said, "Don't mind. I have chronic cold legs. I didn't take good care of myself during my early postpartum confinement, and then I caught a cold in the past few years. I even got wet in the winter. Now my legs hurt all year round. There's no time when I don't feel pain."

Her brows were furrowed deeply, forming the shape of a river, which was very profound.

After taking her pulse, Xu Qinghuan gave her five newly prepared pills. "These pills are exactly what you need. One course of treatment should be enough to cure you."

Huo Chi's eyes popped out, but he soon understood what Xu Qinghuan meant and shook his head. This guy really is like that. He won't take any loss, and won't take any advantage either.

How come she is so likable with her personality?

"Auntie, please take it quickly. My brother is taking this kind of pill for his leg now, and it works very well." Huo Chi was afraid that the Xie family did not believe in Xu Qinghuan's medical skills, so he did not want to waste the pills that cost one hundred yuan each.

The Xie family knew about Huo Zhui's leg and that they had found a very good doctor to treat it, but they never thought that it would be such a little girl.
