The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 312
"I'm afraid my mother will be reluctant to leave the village. After all, she's used to living in the village. Besides, I can't afford a house in the capital." Sun Xian also became worried when he mentioned this.

In the past few years, his family relied on Gu Chengyu to sell pickles and saved nearly 1000 taels of silver.If this money is in the village, he can be regarded as a small landlord, but in the capital, it is not enough. The houses in the capital are very expensive!
Sun Xian is a filial son, Gu Chengyu knew it before.It's because he didn't think about it before, he didn't think about Sun Xian's future study.

Of course it doesn't mean that filial piety is bad, but if Sun Xianruo is not at home all year round, and grandma refuses to leave the village, Gu Wan has no reason to come to the capital with Sun Xian, after all it is definitely not possible to leave her mother-in-law at home alone.

Right now, he is just studying. If Sun Xian is admitted to Jinshi, becomes an official, and wants to go home, he can only wait for the vacation assigned by his superiors.

Up to now, we can only take one step at a time.It is the best way for grandma to go to Beijing with her. He believes that grandma is a widow and she must want to live with her son. After all, they have been dependent on each other for many years.It's just that the words still have to be expressed well.

"Brother Sun, it stands to reason that I'm just a brother-in-law, and I can't interfere in your family affairs. But my second sister is not married yet, so I still have to intervene as a younger brother."

Gu Chengyu expressed his own considerations one by one. It is not a long-term solution for the husband and wife to be separated from each other for a long time.Besides, he had to consider the matter of his heirs. If the two of them were not together, where did he get his little nephew?

When Gu Chengyu mentioned this, he made Sun Xian blush. He is not as well-informed as Gu Chengyu, he has a thin skin!
Once Sun Xian was reminded, he also took it seriously, and repeatedly promised that his mother would come to Beijing with him.It's just that he wants to buy the house by himself, if the money is not enough, let Gu Chengyu borrow some first, and he will pay it back slowly.

At this point, the two reached an agreement, and Gu Chengyu was relieved, he was afraid that Sun Xian would hold back.As for grandma, if she is willing to go to Beijing, it will save trouble.If not, he will also find a way to get her to agree.

In the evening, Gu Chengyu came back from Yin's residence, called Gu Wanqian and Yu Tanzi, and ordered them to take care of the restaurant and Yipinzhai while he was away. Just go find his elder brother.

As for Zhuangzi and Zhaizi, Gu Chengyu can only reply tomorrow.

The next day, Ming Mo and Ming Yan were packing their luggage, and they had more luggage to go back than when they came, because Gu Chengyu also bought some special products of the capital and a dowry for Gu Wan.

"Uncle! Then Jiang Yazi is here! He said that he has negotiated a price, and I will send you a letter! Also, this is the account book of the restaurant and Yipinzhai yesterday, please take a look!"

The third son has already been sent to learn calligraphy, and Yu Tanzi is also very busy, and he still has to take care of the servants of the T-generation.That's why Gu Wanqian came back to talk.

Gu Chengyu asked to see the account book. After all, the restaurant and Yipinzhai just opened yesterday, so he had to look at the profit on the first day to know the approximate income of the restaurant for a year.

"Let him come in and answer!" Gu Chengyu took the account book and read it in detail.

First, I looked at Yipinzhai, and found that it is worthy of the capital, and its daily profit is more than three times that of the shops in Fucheng.Not to mention the restaurant, the profit is several times that of Fucheng.

"I've met Young Master Gu!" Jiang Yazi saw Gu Chengyu holding the account book as soon as Jiang Yazi entered the room, reconciling the accounts seriously!

He only found out after inquiring about it yesterday. It turns out that this is Gu Jieyuan, who is famous in the capital.

The youngest Juren of the Dayan Dynasty, and currently recognized as the most talented Juren.

"Don't be too polite! I'm leaving for my hometown today, and you probably know it. I don't have time to bargain. If your price doesn't satisfy me, I won't buy it either."

Yesterday, Tanzi Yu went to see the fields. Both the hot spring village and the house are good.Even Yu Tanzi felt lucky to meet such two hot spring villages.

Yu Tanzi has been running around for Gu Chengyu in the past few years, and his vision has long been different from the past.But after all, there are few hot spring villages, so it is difficult to find them.Besides, this time, it's just two of us once we meet, can he not be excited?
Even if the two Zhuangzi are not close together, they are still two opposite sides, otherwise it would be more perfect.

"Look at what you said, if you can't negotiate a price, I'm too embarrassed to bother you!"

Jiang Yazi smiled and spoke nicely.However, Gu Chengyu heard something tricky from his words. Is this a lot of money missing?

Gu Chengyu raised his eyebrows, "Oh? Then tell me the price."

"The lowest price I gave you before was 500 taels for the big one, 400 taels for the small one, and 800 taels for the house, right?"

Gu Chengyu nodded, that's indeed what he said before, there's nothing wrong with it!
"You were really expensive before. The villages of hot springs can't be all fertile fields. I heard from my steward that there is a small forest in it, which occupies about 300 mu. The tens of mu of hot springs can't grow food. , isn't that a lot of losses?"

Gu Chengyu calculated that the good land in the capital is of course more expensive, about ten taels of silver per mu, but now there are about 1000 mu where crops cannot be grown.The big Zhuangzi is worth more than 7000 points at most, and the small one is similar to the big one. It should only be worth more than [-] taels.

As for the house, it's even cheaper. How big is the house that you just entered?One thousand two hundred taels is about the same.

Of course, this is the estimated price based on Jiang Yazi's bargaining. If he counter-offers himself, it can only be about 500 taels less at most.

"That was decided by the master. Didn't the little one come up with ideas for you? Big Zhuangzi has forests to have game! Besides, no matter how big or small Zhuangzi is, there are several houses built near the hot springs! Big Zhuangzi , that house almost catches up with the small courtyard. The decoration inside is even more magnificent, you must have made money if you bought it. The big one is ten thousand, and the small one is seven thousand. You can give the house one thousand and it will be completed. , how is it? Are you satisfied?"

Jiang Yazi was very confident about the price, but he found a lot of contacts to complete this matter, and the money he sent out in the middle was more than a hundred taels.

People also rely on these for food, if you don't give money, who will give you such a big favor?In fact, the most important thing is that the owner is waiting to sell it in a hurry, otherwise he will not be able to pick up this bargain at all.

Gu Chengyu was really surprised this time, it seems that Jiang Yazi really has some connections!This price is lower than what he thought!Of course he knew that the small courtyard in Zhuangzi was well built. When Tanzi Yu came back, he said that the courtyard was very exquisite!The other courtyard is built around the hot springs, just for soaking in hot springs.

Gu Chengyu is a little curious, who is so anxious to sell?The price is really low.

"I have a question. Who is going to sell Zhuangzi? I have to find out about this, otherwise what will I do if I have trouble in the future?"

"You still don't believe me? Our dental practice is well-known in the capital, so don't worry about your honesty!"

Jiang Yazi immediately patted his chest and assured that what he said was not a lie, and there were people behind his dental shop.

"However, it's okay to let you know. I can't say who it is. It's just a big family who lost money in business, so they are eager to collect money. However, this business is a bit shady, so we can't talk about it here, people The background is not small."
