Chapter 103 The Haunted House

Of course, Nianfu will never enter Ouyang's house again.

When I came to the corner gate, I asked someone to call Ouyang Kang out. After talking about the matter, Ouyang Kang thought about it and said, "It's not impossible to buy it. I remember hearing my grandmother say that I wanted to come to the capital to buy a house when I saw the world at the beginning of time. Yes. But I couldn’t find a suitable person to ask for help, so I had to give up. But I remember that the court law stipulates that when asking for land and houses, first ask relatives and neighbors. You must be cautious in these aspects, or I will go to see it with you tomorrow Let's see."

That's the best.After talking about the business, Nianfu was about to leave, Lan Gu came out a bit embarrassed to say hello, Nianfu agreed lukewarmly, and left.

Lan Gu only felt that the boss was boring, but when she looked back, Ouyang Kang also went back to the house on his own.He doesn't like to talk to him these days, which makes Lan Gu feel strange.Just thinking about whether to go back to the room and embroider a handkerchief for Nianfu as an apology, suddenly saw Ah Qi bring a snack to Ouyang Kang.

Since the yard was singled out for Ouyang Kang, Aqi also returned to Ouyang Zhuang's side.But after all, she served Ouyang Kang once, and she still has some feelings for this place. Today, she heard that there was a freshly marketed chestnut cake outside, so she bought two copies, one for her master and one for Ouyang Kang. Send it for a try.

Lan Gu didn't have many acquaintances in this yard, so she finally saw one, so she naturally greeted her very affectionately, "Ah Qi is here, bring it to me."

She wanted to reach out to pick it up, but Aqi looked at her and snorted softly, "Don't dare. If something comes out at that time, don't I ask you to take the responsibility?"

Lan Gu's hands were blank, she was embarrassed.Hearing her sarcasm again, his face flushed red, but he was speechless.

Aqi seemed to be a little bit unbearable, looked at her again, but still quickened her pace and left.

Lan Gu bit her lip and was about to go back to her room when someone called her from behind.

said the mother. "Gu Lan, there is something I wanted to mention to you a long time ago, but I think you are also an old man who serves the young master, so you must know how to advance and retreat, but why are you so ignorant of the rules?"

Lan Gu was stunned, "Is there anything wrong with me?"

The old woman looked her up and down with neither yin nor yang. "You're an unruly person."

"You!" Lan Gu was so angry that her hands and feet were cold and she was about to burst into tears.

I just heard the woman sneer and said, "Did I say something wrong? Isn't your name a taboo for our eldest lady? If you knew the rules, you would have known that you would change it. Why do you come to the mansion these days? Don't mention it? Are there any rules?"

Lan Gu didn't want to cry, but the tears still fell down, and the words she said were somewhat pitiful. "But my wife named me..."

"Why did my wife give you the same name as Missy?" The woman pretended not to understand, "there is a word aunt at the end. With seniority, why, you want to be Missy's aunt, master Is your sister not successful?"

This is obviously, obviously not the case!Lan Gu really wanted to be brave for a while, like Ouyang Kang hoped, to quarrel with others.Compete with people.But sadly found that apart from trembling all over, he couldn't even move a finger.

The woman pretended to be kind and said again. "Forget it. Seeing how old you are, I won't make it difficult for you. Hurry up and tell the eldest young master to change your name, lest the master ask you about it, and you will lose face."

After the mother-in-law left, Lan Gu's chest heaved violently for a long time before she could finally move.But what if she can move?I could only rush back to my room, hugging the quilt and crying.

And outside the window, some narrow-minded girls are still chewing their tongues.

"Some people are really thick-skinned. If you want to be an old girl, you still have to rely on the master, but relying on some old love, are you really going to confess her as the master's wife?"

"That's right! I haven't seen her doing any great things, what kind of airs are she putting on all day long? If you want to say loyalty, who doesn't?"

"The eyelids are shallow, and when they see any good things, they want to swipe into the house, and they still use the banner of the master. Who knows if some people have selfish intentions?"

"Although you and I haven't studied, at least we know that being a human being requires loyalty. But some people will only blame others when they have troubles. Fortunately, we are far away, and we may also be implicated!"

Listening to such blatant and insinuating words, Lan Gu was even more ashamed, her face was burning hot.

She didn't understand why Ouyang Kang also blamed her, Sister Mu also offended, and the servants ganged up to bully her even though she had good intentions.

Could it be that she did something wrong?



Early the next morning, Ouyang Kang went to see the house with Nianfu.

Jiang Yaji brought another person, saying that his surname was Kong, who was also a Yaji.He looks quite mature and doesn't talk much.He directly took Ouyang Kang and Nianfu to see a house worth 700 taels. There were only three rooms, one bright and two dark.But when the two saw the smoky environment around them, they immediately shook their heads.

Then I took them to an alley called Lirenfang, and there was a nice small house.Small and exquisite, the courtyard has three entrances, the layout is reasonable, and the windows are bright and clean.

What is especially rare is that there is a large attic in the main house.The lighting is excellent, spacious and clean. It is arranged like a bedroom on the inside and a study on the outside. It also has a whole wall of bookcases. Outside the window is a small lush garden.

Ouyang Kang fell in love with it at a glance, "How much is this?"

Kong Ya wrote, "There are quite a few people who are interested in this house, but the asking price is also expensive, so I have not sold it. If you really want it, I will talk about it and see if 3000 taels can be negotiated."

so expensive?Ouyang Kang felt a little pained, and Nianfu also wanted to bargain, "Then who lives next to him?"

Kong Ya wrote, "On the left is the house of the servant of the Ministry of Industry, and on the right is the house of Cao Canjun, a householder in Jingzhao Prefecture."

Ouyang Kang was startled when he heard this, these are all court officials, how could they live in such a place?

Nianfu, on the other hand, watched a lot of real estate market these days, understood something, and told him in a low voice. "It's not a big deal, I also met an adult in the Monk Temple when I was renting a house!"

Kong Yaji said honestly, "In the capital, not every adult can afford to buy or rent a good house. Many adults originally came from mediocre families, and if their wives don't have a rich dowry, they can only rent some cheap houses. .Compared with the courtyard, the monastery houses in the temple are quite decent, so the most people rent them out. If you want to live better, but you don’t have money, you can only live in the suburbs of the city. But then you go to court every day. It’s really hard to ride a horse for more than half an hour just to go back and forth. Many adults simply live alone in the yamen, put their wives and children outside the city, and only go home every time they rest and wash, which is really not easy.”

Hearing what he said clearly, Ouyang Kang and Nianfu also hesitated.They don't want to go up.Why don't we just live in the outskirts of the city?But it's not convenient to do business like that.Besides, Ouyang Kang felt that the law and order in the outskirts of the city might not be good, and Nianfu is a girl's house, how uneasy is it to put it outside?

Just listen to the story of Kong Ya and said again, "Actually, due to the initial determination of the world in recent years, the housing prices in the capital are not too expensive. If there was a house like this in the past, don't ask if there is no seven or eight thousand taels. But it is not a small sum. You might as well go back and think about it. In fact, if you can bear it, renting a house is still cheaper. It’s just that if you live in a remote place, you will make friends with classmates in the future, and it’s not a big deal if you want to go to a banquet, make a poem or something It’s convenient. So I suggest, it’s better to rent it in the temple, although the bells and drums are noisy. It’s convenient after all.”

It's okay if he doesn't say this, once he does.Ouyang Kang and Nianfu looked at each other, both felt that this boy was honest, and they were even more excited about the apartment he sold.

Thinking about the terrifying housing prices that went up beyond the limit in the previous life, Nian Fu pulled Ouyang Kang aside, "Why don't we just buy this, the house in the capital will not fall anywhere."

Ouyang Kang also thought it was feasible, "If 3000 taels of silver can be negotiated, we will buy it."

Kong Yaji did not dare to agree, and said that he would discuss it with the landlord and give an answer later.Nian Fu hurriedly took out a piece of silver to thank him and asked him to take care of him.

But this Kong Yaji is really simple and honest, "If the deal is not negotiated, no commission will be charged, and it will be the same when the deal is reached. By the way, both of you are free these days, right?"

Ouyang Kang hurriedly said, "I won't be free the day after tomorrow, so it's best to come tomorrow."

Kong Yaji should leave, Nianfu and Ouyang Kang felt the benevolence and righteousness of this Yaji, and began to discuss what furniture to buy and how to arrange it.

The next day I waited for a day, but the kid didn't come either.One more day, it will be the day when Ouyang Zhuang will hold wine, no matter how worried Ouyang Kang is, he has no choice but to go there to entertain.

In the middle of the day, Nianfu was absent-mindedly cooking vegetables, wondering if Kong Yaji would not come, but he rushed over sweating profusely, "The landlord finally agreed, left and right The neighbor has also signed the consent form, so you follow me to the yamen to handle the matter!"

Aunt Xu hurriedly took the spatula, "This is business, you go to the young master."

Nianfu said anxiously, "His house is serving wine today, and he is definitely not here right now. What should we do?"

Kong Ya remembered, "There's nothing we can do about it. The landlord already thought the price was low, so he managed to persuade him. If we delay any longer, I'm afraid it won't be the same price the next time."

Nianfu gritted his teeth, "Forget it, then I'll let you go."

Soon I saw the landlord with Kong Yaji, and I heard that the landlord was impatient and had already left, leaving only a housekeeper waiting there with the owner's seal.Nianfu tried to make something close, but the man was very dull and didn't answer any questions.

When they went to the yamen together, he had something to say, "The master has ordered that such a cheap price must be paid in full in one lump sum, and if it is in arrears, it will not be sold."

The little official rolled his eyes unhappily, and asked Nianfu, "Then do you have enough money? If not, go back quickly, don't delay our meal!"

Seeing that he was very impatient and unable to recite blessings, he had to take out 3000 taels of silver bills and check it face to face. The small official wrote down the delivery documents and completed the formalities.

When the matter was completed, the housekeeper took the banknote and accepted it, and Kong Yaji took his due commission and said that he had to leave in advance.Only chanting blessings, holding that flimsy document, suddenly felt very unreal.

3000 taels of silver, just exchanged for such a thing?

She suddenly felt that she was a little hotheaded.Why did you buy it on impulse?But what's the use of thinking about it now?Thinking about that house, Nianfu couldn't help comforting himself, it's okay, the real estate will increase in value.

But just as she walked out of the yamen gate, she suddenly heard the guards behind her whispering, "The dilapidated ghost house in Lirenfang actually sold for 3000 taels. Are people crazy now?"
