Chapter 537 Hospitality (1) ([-])
Shen Ji sat in the carriage for an hour and arrived at the destination.Although the current capital city has not expanded to the sixth ring road, the horse-drawn carriage does not have the speed of a car, and horse-drawn carriages are not allowed to gallop in the city.

It is true that it is not far from the palace, the sedan chair can reach the gate of the palace within a quarter of an hour, and there is no one blocking the way in the street when it is early in the morning, so you can walk faster.It was nearly a quarter of an hour away from where Shen Ji was going to settle.

Shen Ji had already asked Guan Meng to know that the land was [-] mu, which was [-] mu larger than the [-] building.But their family of four plus dozens of servants, is it necessary to live in such a big place?

Wei Ying was drinking tea while waiting for Shen Ji.Seeing her come in, he stood up, "Come on, I'll show you around."

Along the way, Wei Ying pointed out and introduced to Shen Ji, and Shen Ji listened to it, oh, it was so clear, those who didn't know thought it was just a babysitter.If you think you don't have an official job, you can support their mothers and daughters by relying on your three-inch tongue to sell houses.It may be much higher than the salary on the surface.In the process of waiting for her, he also took a look around the neighborhood, and he was very sensible when he talked about the neighbors.

Wei Ying talked a lot, and finally concluded: "This house is built with hills and valleys, and the original owner is the former minister of the Ministry of Industry."

The more Shen Ji looked at this house, the more he looked at it, the more he became more and more tempted. It is not worse than the Grand View Garden in Beijing.The garden draws running water, combines movement and stillness without losing the interest of nature, and the house is more comfortable and elegant with carved beams and painted buildings.The whole house is full of riches and nobility, but its elegance is on the surface.Shen Ji could also understand why Wei Ying fell in love with her.In addition, what Wei Ying said about the former deputy minister of construction Yuanzhai, the quality is really reassuring.

"What's more, come with me." Wei Ying greeted Shen Ji and saw that there was no one around, so he simply pulled her wrist to the side.

"Here, there is a ready-made flower house, which was repaired by Mr. Shi Lang for the step-wife. Don't you like to play with flowers and plants? I always said that I would help you build a flower house. But there were many people in the previous house, so we could accommodate all of them. When we got married, we built two rows of houses on the open space, so there is no open space. This time, when I heard that there was a ready-made one, I immediately came to see it."

Shen Ji stared at Wei Ying, trying to figure out whether he really came here after hearing about this flower house, or whether he was using this flower house to seduce himself.She really likes to eat, and also likes to play with flowers and plants, but in the past few years, she has been satisfied with eating, but there is only a small garden for playing with flowers and plants.Later, when I lived in the back house of the yamen, there were even more unconditional conditions.However, Wei Ying should know that although the greenhouse is not dispensable to her, it is not an urgent necessity either.He couldn't tempt himself to change his mind with this. 2 taels is not a small amount.

"I've thought about it. I have a few antiques and that chess piece. If someone is willing to buy it for money, then I'll sell it. I can make up 7000 taels here. There are also two calligraphy and painting shops that don't earn much money. It’s better to resell Hemipu. In this way, wouldn’t it be enough to make up 2 taels.”

"That was left to you by your mother."

"My mother never cared about these common affairs. She just recited poems and composed fu. I guess she never looked at the account books at all, and she didn't even know which street these two shops were on. Besides, if she knew that I was going to sell them If you come to buy a house, you will definitely agree.”

Shen Ji thinks about the manuscripts of her mother-in-law that she has read, but she really has such a non-human temperament.

"Forget it, if you are willing to sell your antiques, there will be no shortage of silver. Those two shops can't just be changed hands. Since you don't care, then I think about doing other business .” Since he wants to buy this house so much, let’s buy it.

"Okay, it's up to you to decide."

"Well, I have seen that this house can be divided into two, and the running water can be divided into two parts. We live in the half with the greenhouse, and the other half can be rented or sold." Shen Ji did not change his true nature of a shrewd housewife. Said.

Only now did Shen Ji know why Gu's mother said she was willing to make up, but my father was not.It turned out that Madam Gu's son was asked to find another house in private, and the request was quite high.

"Why is the former servant willing to sell such a big house?"

"His son committed a crime, so he had no choice but to sell the house to raise money for someone. Just when I got the news, I asked Mama Gu's son to find him."

It turns out that if the typical children and grandchildren are useless, what to do with the money.

Now that I have decided to buy it, I have to go back and collect money.When they got home, Mrs. Wang was looking at the three children, Xiaozhizhi and Xinge were running and flying kites in the open space, and the wet nurse was watching with Xiaobaozi in her arms.

Shen Ji felt inexplicable joy when he saw the little bun covering his forehead with his small hand and looking up, child, are you Wukong?I looked up and saw that it was placed quite high, and more than half of it was not placed by the two children themselves.

Seeing that the strings of the two kites were about to become entangled, Xiaozhizhi and Brother Xin looked very anxious, and the maid next to them went up to help.Wei Bo was also watching under the eaves with his hands behind his back, seeing Wei Ying and Shen Ji coming in, he came over to greet them.

Shen Ji has already told Wei Ying that Wei Bo has something to do with him.So when we met now, Wei Ying said, "Let's go in and talk about it."

"Yes."

Mrs. Wang came over, walked in with Shen Ji, looked sideways at Shen Ji, Shen Ji nodded.

"Sister-in-law, if you don't get the money together, we still have some over there, so let's use it first." Wang sighed in her heart, men make decisions, but it is really difficult for women to change.

Shen Ji smiled, "Your elder brother took the initiative to resell some of his collections, and will sort them out and give them to others in a while. In this case, the money will be almost enough."

Wang was taken aback for a moment, but she didn't expect it to be solved in this way.Before she saw what she was going to buy and was not very satisfied with the house, she knew that she didn't have enough money. Now that she bought a house that exceeded the estimate of 2 taels, she thought she was going to worry, but she didn't expect that her elder brother would take the initiative to sell her collection. sold some.It seems that sister-in-law is still amazing.Anyway, Wei Bo would never agree to sell his rare ancient books.

Wei Ying sent Guan Meng to sort out the antiques he had sold, and Shen Ji, who had previously lent to Luranlou, had already sent someone to pick it up.She was not going back to Yangzhou, so she naturally had to explain to Ling Shiyun, so she hired a boat to transport her back.Although the business of the building has declined for a while after they left, but it is not a big problem because it is already on track.It would be a little unrealistic to just want to open a third one, but there is no hindrance to the success.

The things were not moved out in front of Wei Ying, so as to save him the pain of heartache.Shen Ji thought about the heavily locked emperor and empress dowagers in her private treasury and the precious things that were rewarded by noble concubines, but unfortunately they could not be sold or pawned.Once something goes wrong, you will be held accountable for ineffective storage.
