Yan Cigui.

Chapter 7
Bao'an Garden is not far from Zaishhouyuan, just pass through the hall and walk along the long corridor for a short distance.

Mrs. Xiao Duan was about to rest, when she heard that Lin Yunyan was coming, she hurriedly asked someone to light up all the lights in the house.

Lin Yunyan was afraid of fire when she was young, and she was also afraid of the dark.

"Why come here at this time?" Xiao Duan asked.

"Can't sleep," Lin Yunyan pointed to the Bisha cabinet, "I'll sleep here today, okay?"

How could Xiao Duan say no, and immediately asked the maid to make the bed.

Before the grandfather and grandson could say a few words, the sound of footsteps came from outside.

Lin Xun stood outside the window and said hello inside.

"Come in," Xiao Duan replied, then turned to Lin Yunyan and said, "It's a coincidence that he came here, he interrupted us and said something personal."

Lin Yunyan smiled.

Lin Xun didn't expect his niece to be there, so he couldn't help hesitating when he said something.

"It's not a big deal." He smiled sarcastically, "It's the same tomorrow."

Seeing that Lin Xun was about to leave, Lin Yunyan said: "You just want to talk to grandma through the strength of wine today, and you won't dare to say it when you wake up tomorrow?"

After finishing speaking, she sniffed, turned her head and said to Xiao Duan, "Smell it, it smells so strong!"

Xiao Duan shook his head at Lin Xun, not too much, but with a big opinion.

It's not a big deal for a man to go out to drink, but when he walked all the way back home to her, he still smelled so much of alcohol, which shows that he drank a lot.

It hurts too much!
Looking at the pair of shoes on Lin Xun's feet again, it can be seen that water has entered, not only the shoes are dirty, but the socks inside must also be dirty.

Not correct!
"Go to the study to tidy up before going back to the house," Xiao Duan said, "I don't want your wife to wait on you with a stinky body!"

Lin Xun blushed a lot.

It's embarrassing to be blamed by my mother for trivial matters at this age.

What was even more embarrassing was that there was a niece listening nearby.

He also needs face!

Lin Yunyan broke the embarrassment: "Uncle, since you have something to do, hurry up and talk to grandma."

Lin Xun glanced at her gratefully.

It was the niece who was caring and passed the message to him, otherwise, he would stand here, neither raising his feet nor shrinking his feet.

"The heavy snow at the beginning of the year overwhelmed many houses in Laoshi Lane. Do you remember this?" Lin Xun asked.

Xiao Duan nodded: "I heard from Da Lang that Shuntian Mansion was scolded a lot for this."

"Yes, the palace scolded, and the common people also scolded," Lin Xun said, "but it's not all Shuntian Mansion's fault."

Honest Lane is long or short, with 63 houses on the left and right.

In the previous dynasty, it was bought by a wealthy businessman from the south of the Yangtze River. In the early years, the wealthy businessman's fortunes fell, and he sold his house for money, and it belonged to three or four businessmen one after another.

Unexpectedly, the families of those merchants also went downhill. Even if they didn't sell their houses every household, they couldn't afford the money for repairs, so they had to rely on the tenants to make up for it.

Shuntian Mansion urged several times in the past few years, but those masters just procrastinated, and there was nothing they could do about it.

The last heavy snow fell, killing seven people and injuring more than thirty others.

"We have to pay the compensation money for the victims. We can't delay as before because we don't have money. Shuntian Mansion suppresses those families to sell their houses," Lin Xun explained. Don’t dare to confront the government head-on, so I propose to change hands, if there is really no one who can take it alone, at most three companies will join forces.”

Xiao Duan understood: "Someone wants to do this business, but he can't afford it alone, so he came to ask you for one?"

"Yes," Lin Xun said, "Chen Guixun's business. Shuntian Mansion is also afraid that the person who takes over will do something wrong. We will take over, and it will be easy for the government to handle it. Afterwards, we will repair it carefully and make it vacant in the spring of next year before renting it out." .”

"Let it out?" Mrs. Xiao Duan shook her head after hearing this, "It's just rented as an ordinary residence, it's no different from before, the income is limited, and I don't know how many years it will take to pay back the principal.

If there is some profit from renting, the first few households will not procrastinate in repairing.

Furthermore, that person Chen Gui has too many ways to do things, I don't care if you drink with him, but this is a business, and brothers have to settle accounts clearly.

Then again, it's really unlucky. Look, the people from Jiangnan, and the businessmen who took over later, all lost their families.

Feng Shui is not good! "

Lin Yunyan nodded in her heart.

Xiao Duan's words are actually very reasonable.

Those houses in Honest Lane, if they could make money at a glance, they would have been bought together a long time ago.

When Chen Gui chose that place, it wasn't because he had a discerning eye, but because he had some spare cash and wanted to find a way out.

But in his previous life, his luck had arrived and caught up. After the reconstruction of Honest Lane, he came back to life, and the money he earns earnestly, not to mention a lot of money, can quietly save a few baskets.

After listening to his mother's opinion, Lin Xun did not give in immediately.

"Chen Gui told me all the disadvantages you mentioned today," Lin Xun said, "Because there are many disadvantages, the price is negotiable..."

Xiao Duan frowned, just as he was about to interrupt his son, a cup of warm tea was stuffed into his hand.

She looked at Lin Yunyan beside her.

The little girl looked at her with a smile and motioned her to moisten her throat.

Xiao Duan took a sip, and let Lin Xun speak patiently.

Lin Yunyan also gave Lin Xun one.

It seems that Chen Gui introduced the third uncle very well.

The third uncle is not a stupefied young man, he would murmur if he just said it was good, and he would believe it even more if he explained the good and the bad.

However, these are not enough to convince the grandmother.

"I understand, I also know that Chen Gui opened his mouth to you, and you are too embarrassed to refuse directly," Xiao Duan put down the teacup, and said, "It's just that you don't need even a little bit to buy a house. Transfer all of Yun Jing's dowry money to you. Yesterday I saw the good times of the year, and there are still three and a half months at the latest. Can you make up for me all the money that was removed within three and a half months? If you can’t make up, how can Yun Jing get married?”

Lin Xun couldn't answer.

Three and a half months, the repairs are enough, how can it be possible to make money back or even make money?

"Yun Jing is the first married woman in Yun Zi's life, so she must be beautiful," Xiao Duan said again, "My family is not rich enough to buy an alley at will, so don't make things difficult for me. If you really want to help the family Save more income, and after Yun Jing gets married, Xu Guogong's mansion will make arrangements for you."

How could Lin Xun persist when his mother said so much?

He had no choice but to salute and back out.

Lin Yunyan watched the third uncle go out, and then looked at Xiao Duan.

Convincing grandma is a process, and Lin Yunyan is not so naive to make grandma nod with just a few words from the third uncle.

Just like playing chess, how can there be a general who comes up?

"Grandmother," Lin Yunyan said softly, "If you don't do the door-to-door business, you will lose your luck."

Xiao Duan was startled, and wondered: "How? You heard that business can make money?"

Lin Yunyan smiled.

She didn't hear it, but actually saw it.

She remembered very clearly that in the past afternoon, the sky was gloomy, and the third uncle's face was also gloomy, and when he talked to his grandmother, his voice was tense and trembling.

"If I had known this before, I should have been tougher and asked you for money. Not only can I make money, but I don't have to make Yun Jing suffer in the Duke's mansion. For the support that I have no shadow, I will trade Yun Jing for the rest of my life. My uncle, don't you want me?" shame?"

It was so embarrassing, so embarrassing that third uncle's eyes were red when he left Zaishouyuan.
