Pastoral Master

Chapter 9 Selling the house!

"Chen'er, did you hear clearly? What I said is that I want to sell the ancestral house!" Yan Ruxue confirmed again.

Yan Chen smiled lightly. "I hear you clearly! Sister is in charge of the family affairs!"

Yan Chen knew what Yan Ruxue was worried about, and he was indeed reluctant to part with the ancestral house, but he also knew that if they died, there would be no point in keeping the ancestral house. Yan Ruxue also has a special trust, so trusting that she doesn't ask why.

Yan Chen's words warmed Yan Ruxue's heart. "Alright, then I'll make the decision. You can write a notice and post it in a while. We can sell the house separately!"

"it is good!"

Immediately, Yan Chen went to write the notice.

As for why the houses should be sold separately, that was Yan Ruxue's idea after thinking about it all night. The Yan family's house is very large, with hundreds of rooms in front and back, and it is impossible for anyone in the nearby villages to sell it all at once. It was bought, and the Turkic people also damaged a lot of houses, and many people had no houses to live in. That's why Yan Ruxue came up with this idea.

After the notice was posted, many people came to ask. Although the notice was very clear, there were not many people who could read it. Therefore, the villagers still felt that it was more realistic to hear what the Yan family said.

"Miss Yan, are you really going to sell this house?" A woman tremblingly asked when she came to the door.

This woman, Yan Ruxue, has the impression that she was originally a tenant of the Yan family, but because the Yan family was looted by the Turks, these land deeds were also lost. After Yan Ruxue buried the Yan family and his wife, she went to the county government to ask about these land deeds At that time, I discovered that these lands had been transferred to some merchants in the town on the day when Yan's house was looted. When the Yamen sent people to ask, these people all agreed that they bought it from a bearded man. Ruxue had no choice but to give up.

"Yes!" Yan Ruxue nodded.

The woman was overjoyed when she heard Yan Ruxue's answer, and hurriedly asked. "I don't know how the price is calculated?"

"One tael of silver per room!"

"One tael of silver for one room?!" The woman's face instantly turned ugly.

Yan Ruxue quickly explained. "One tael of silver is not expensive for a house. It's impossible for you to build a house for one tael of silver! What's more, it's a tile-roofed house like mine!"

It would be impossible for the Yan family's house to be sold for such a small amount of money, but Yan Ruxue was anxious to sell, and she knew that the people in the village would not have much money to spare.

The woman smiled dryly. "It's not expensive, but you also know that the Turks came to rob things, and my house was also destroyed. The whole family of more than a dozen people crowded into the small side room of my house last night, and there are not many things in the house... ..."

The woman said a lot of long-winded words, in a word, my family is very poor, can this price be cheaper?
After hearing the woman's words, Yan Ruxue smiled. This person's acting is too fake, aside from other things, even the silver hairpin on her head has one or two weights. If her family is really as she said If she was in such distress, would she still be reluctant to exchange this silver hairpin for the two houses in the family?

Seeing Yan Ruxue smiled, the woman suddenly felt that there was something going on, and hurriedly said. "Miss Yan's family has a bodhisattva heart, I wonder if it can be cheaper?"

In an instant, Yan Ruxue pulled her face down, stepped back half a step, and said coldly. "The Yan family has been defeated, and I can't be called Miss anymore. Auntie should call me Ruxue! I can't give up the money either. Green brick houses, high-quality wood, such a house requires at least one labor plus labor." Three or four taels of silver, so I can't give up half of this silver! If you can collect the silver, then the house is yours, if you don't make enough...my house is not sold every day!"

The woman's face drooped suddenly, the smile on her face disappeared, and a trace of embarrassment emerged. According to her temper, she really wanted to scold Yan Ruxue, but Yan Ruxue's last words hit her heart. Lifeline, the house of the Yan family is not sold every day, if Yan Ruxue is offended, then this bargain will really be taken by others!

"Then... how many rooms do you leave for me, and I'll go home and collect some money?"

Yan Ruxue sneered, she belonged to Ms. Yan just now, now she has become 'you', this world is really a reality!He stretched out his hand to signal the woman to go.

Receiving Yan Ruxue's signal, the woman hurried home to get the money in three steps.

After the woman, many villagers came to Yan's house to inquire about the situation, some happily took out the money, and some, like this woman, wanted to take advantage of the fire, but Yan Ruxue didn't give in at all. Two taels of silver per room, within half an afternoon, there were more than 30 taels of silver and a pile of scattered silver in the small hole in Yan Ruxue's room.

"Sister, how is the house selling?" Yan Chen asked.

"It's almost there!" Yan Ruxue sighed slightly.

Sensing Yan Ruxue's loss, Yan Chen asked with a frown. "What's the matter? Sister, is there something difficult?"

Yan Ruxue smiled wryly. "It's not difficult, but, I looked at the people who came today, and they all live in the village relatively well. I guess we can't sell the rest of the houses!"

Yan Chen glanced at the small hole that Yan Ruxue hadn't closed. Although there was no specific amount, he probably knew that the silver there would never exceed 40 taels. For the place they were going to, the silver was just enough to pay. His Shuxiu and the one who rented a hut, what should they do with their lives?Presumably, his sister is also worried about this problem!
"If you can't sell it, then you can't sell it. It's better to keep it for us when we come back!" In order not to worry Yan Chen, Yan Ruxue tried her best to twitch the corners of her mouth. "Don't worry, your sister can definitely support you!"

Seeing Yan Ruxue's strong smile, Yan Chen felt a little pain in his heart, and at the same time secretly made up his mind that he must hold up a piece of sky above his head for his sister, so that his sister can truly smile !

The next day, several families from the neighboring village also came to buy a house. Yan Ruxue tried her best to arrange everyone in the front yard. After all, this is the place where she grew up, and this is also the root of the Yan family. Next, she still wants to keep it!
The setting sun is infinite, and on the small road next to Fuquan Village, two figures are drawn very long by the afterglow of the setting sun. The two walked very fast, as if they were trying to get rid of something.

"Sister, are we going to Liangzhou City, or to the town?" At the fork in the road, Yan Chen looked at Yan Ruxue. They only had 52 taels and 320 Wen, and there were some things they had to consider!
