Rebirth of the Legend of the Red Age

Chapter 11, Get the Siheyuan and Study Moving

After visiting the courtyard, Wang Li pulled his father aside and said very affirmatively: Dad, I like this courtyard very much. Although the second and third courtyards have been damaged beyond repair, his first courtyard is very intact.

The house is well preserved. We can live in the first courtyard first and then use the time to rebuild the second and third courtyards.

The father thought for a while and asked Wang Li: Do you want to move to the city?
Wang Li replied: Yes, father, I think peace will be here soon, and living in the city will also be convenient for me to go to school.

When his father heard him mention going to school, he was very excited. The Wang family had only one son for three generations and none of them had ever been to school. If there was a chance for him to go to school, he would definitely go. His family was well off now and they had saved more money by selling the furs and herbs.

After thinking for a while, my father said: Okay, I'll lower the price a bit, and if it's suitable, we'll buy it.

After Wang Li's father finished speaking, he walked to the shopkeeper Sun and started talking to him. After some bargaining, he finally bought the courtyard house for 4500 silver dollars.

In fact, according to the housing prices at that time, if Wang Li's father only looked at the house, he would lose money, because the house was only worth three thousand dollars if it was usable.

The extra money is equivalent to buying the land at the back, which is the original garden and the second and third courtyards.

Wang Li thought they were getting a bargain. For example, the area of ​​this courtyard house was three mu. If it was put in the future, it would be worth many small goals. Even now, if Manager Sun was not eager to sell the courtyard house, he would not sell it at such a low price.

After negotiation, Wang Li's family used goods worth 4500 oceans to offset the payment for the courtyard house.

After the money was settled, it was already past noon and no one had eaten yet, so Shopkeeper Sun treated the two of them to a banquet at Deshenglou.

In the afternoon, he went to the housing authority to handle the registration and transfer procedures, and the house was directly registered under Wang Li's name. This allowed him to fulfill his biggest wish in two lifetimes: to own a courtyard house in Kyoto.

The reason why it was done so quickly was thanks to the connections of Shopkeeper Sun. If it were an ordinary person, the staff would have to delay you for a while.

After finishing their business, the father and son took the remaining 3500 silver dollars home. Fortunately, there was a carriage when they came. Otherwise, the 3500 silver dollars would be enough for them to spend. You should know that at that time, one silver dollar weighed 26 grams, and 3500 silver dollars was 91000 grams, equivalent to 180 kilograms. Although the volume was not large, it was very difficult to carry in pieces. Therefore, they were put into a wooden box given to them by Manager Sun.

It was already dark when the father and son got home. When the mother saw them, she took out dinner and put it on the table while asking: "How are the mountain products selling?"
The father and son told their mother about selling mountain products and exchanging them for a courtyard house. The mother was very surprised. First, she was surprised that the mountain products were so valuable. Second, she was surprised that the father and son actually used part of the money to buy a large courtyard in Kyoto.

She asked excitedly: So we will be city dwellers in the future?
Wang Lidao: Yes, we will live in the city in the future, which will also be convenient for me to go to school.

Like his father, his mother immediately nodded in agreement when she heard that it would make it easier for Wang Li to go to school.

Wang Li didn't want to go to school, but he had to find a reason and a source for his knowledge of words and so much knowledge. Therefore, he had no choice but to go to school eight or nine years after traveling to this world.

When my mother heard that he had brought back 3500 silver dollars, she was very happy. She counted the money several times that night and then hid the money in the cellar where she hid her money.

The mother suddenly thought of a question and asked: "Dad, it's so chaotic outside now, is it dangerous for us to live in the city?"
Wang Li interjected: Mother, why don’t we go and live there now?

Wang Li’s father and mother were both stunned when they heard this.

Wang Li explained in detail: "My mother and father went to the city to sell mountain products. I found that the rich families in the city were all fleeing south. And everyone was saying that Kyoto would be recaptured soon."

Although Commander Zheng of Kyoto is still promoting that he will live and die with Kyoto.

But everyone is saying that he will surrender, so I think we should wait until Kyoto is recaptured and the security is better before we move. I can ask my father to buy me some elementary school books first, and I can read them at home. I will go to school after we actually move to Kyoto.

Wang Li's parents thought what he said made sense and agreed.

The next day, my father took a lock from home and went into the city. Because he had agreed with Shopkeeper Sun that after Shopkeeper Sun packed up the items that needed to be taken away from the courtyard yesterday afternoon and this morning, the Wang family could take over the courtyard.

That afternoon, my father returned home in a happy mood and said happily that the house had been handed over and the Sun family had moved out. He locked the door and came back.
