Starting from the sculpture of Buddha statues in Lanruo Temple

Chapter 53 Fengning Buys a House, Zhiqiu Buys a Horse

Li Fengning put all the rocking chairs and other things in the room into his coarse cloth bag, and left Lanruo Temple.

Most of the workers are gone.

But because Lanruo Temple still has several newly built monk houses that have not been completed, there are only about ten workers left.

The enshrined Buddhas in many Buddhist halls of Lanruo Temple have been carved.

Of course, Lanruo Temple is so big that there should be more Buddha statues in the future.

But at that time, he will not know whether he will still be the one to carve.

……

After entering Jinhua City, Li Fengning went straight to the stall owner's house.

After the night when the contract was made, Li Fengning knew that the name of the stall owner was Wang Bo.

Wang Bo's residence is a small house on the edge of Jinhua City.

There is only one bungalow in this house, and there is a small open space in front of the bungalow. There are no flowers and plants in the open space, only a dozen chickens are pecking at the sand.

He has two daughters and one son. He thought the bungalow was too small and small, so he always wanted to buy a bigger house to live in.

However, he had never been able to raise enough money before.

After partnering with Li Fengning to do this business, after these two days, the money is barely enough.

He heard that Li Fengning was also going to buy a house in the city, so he took Li Fengning to find a broker, planning to walk around Jinhua City together today to see if there was any suitable house.

……

Li Fengning, Wang Bo and Broker wandered around the city for a long time and saw several houses.

He didn't find a satisfactory house, but the scenery of the ancient city opened Li Fengning's eyes, and he was amazed.

Li Fengning was dissatisfied with these few houses, either they thought they were too noisy, or they thought they were too remote, he wanted a quiet place amidst the hustle and bustle.

Wang Bo was much more picky than Li Fengning. He had to compare the size, orientation, backlight, price, etc. of the house.

Therefore, along the way, Wang Bo talked a lot with the broker, while Li Fengning was relatively quiet.

After looking at two more places, they went to the next house.

Li Fengning saw that this house was close to Fangshi, but it was quite secluded.

Looking up, there is a small building on the edge of the house. The elegance and ingenuity of the building has won Li Fengning's heart.

Before the broker opened the door, Li Fengning had a lot of expectations.

But as soon as the broker inserted the key into the copper lock, Wang Bo said:
"You don't need to look at this house."

"why?"

It was Li Fengning who asked this question.

Wang Bo first glanced at the broker, and then said:
"Master Li, you are not from the city, so you don't know that there is something wrong with this house.

"This house is the old house of the Xu family in the city, Xu Yuanwai, who now runs several restaurants in the city, lived in this house when he was young.

"It is said that when he was 12 years old, he saw a fox get married in that pavilion."

As he spoke, Wang Bo pointed to the small building on the edge of the house.

"It is said that Xu Yuanwai was going to go to the latrine at midnight, when he saw that the pavilion was lit up, and there was a figure flickering on it.

"Looking carefully, you can see that there are bridegroom and bride in red clothes inside the pavilion, and other people are also dressed in festive ways.

"When he saw it, he was taken aback, and hurried to wake up his parents.

"When Xu Yuanwai's parents woke up, they left the room and looked at the pavilion, but found that the pavilion was dark and nothing was there.

"Later, Xu Yuanwai's parents thought that Xu Yuanwai was bewitched, so they invited Taoist priests.

"When the Taoist asked Xu Yuanwai, and after hearing Xu Yuanwai's experience, he said that what Xu Yuanwai saw that night was a fox's marriage."

It turned out that there was still this matter... After listening to Wang Bo's words, Li Fengning couldn't help looking at Xiaolou again.

"So, this house is not clean." Wang Bo said again.

"My lord, it is rumored that the Taoist priest at the time said that it was only an occasional thing for a fox to get married, and those vixen are just borrowing space and not hurting people's lives." The broker said with a smile.

"How much does this house sell for?" Wang Bo glanced at the broker again and asked.

The broker faltered and said, "36 taels..."

Wang Bo laughed: "This is incredible. The price of this house is at least 70 taels. The price reduction is so severe, it shows the problem."

"Go in and take a look." Li Fengning said suddenly.

At this moment, both Wang Bo and the broker's eyes widened, thinking that they had heard it wrong.

"Unlock it." Seeing the stunned look of the broker, Li Fengning said again.

"Yes, yes!" Seeing that the matter of this house was revealed by Wang Bo, the broker had no hope at first, but he didn't expect that the young man was still interested, and he was very happy in his heart.

As soon as the door was opened, Li Fengning saw a large open space, with weeds growing sparsely on it, it seemed that the house had been abandoned for a long time.

Above the open space is the house for living, which is a four-entry house.

There is an open-air yard in the middle of the house, which has a well.

There is a wooden cover on the well, and there are also well ropes and wooden barrels for fetching water on the well.

Not bad... Li Fengning nodded repeatedly while watching.

This house is quiet amidst the hustle and bustle, yet spacious...

The broker looked at Li Fengning's expression, and the more he looked at it, the happier he felt, thinking that this order could be done!
Seeing Li Fengning's expression, Wang Bo was a little anxious, so he couldn't help saying:
"Master Li, you have to think clearly, don't provoke evil spirits just because you are cheap."

The broker followed behind the two, and when he heard Wang Bo's words, his face immediately turned dark, his eyes turned white towards Wang Bo, his lips moved slightly, and he cursed a vulgar word in a low voice.

Li Fengning said casually: "With Avalokitesvara, I am not afraid of evil spirits."

When the broker heard it, his black face lit up again.

After Wang Bo heard this, he couldn't refute for a while, thinking that Li Fengning had carved so many Thousand-handed Avalokitesvara, maybe he could really be blessed by the Thousand-handed Avalokitesvara.

Then, Li Fengning went with the broker to pay the money, signed the deed and land deed, and started the house.

Later, under the introduction of the broker, Li Fengning invited some people to tidy up the house.

As for himself, Wang Bo took him to Dongshi in the city to buy some furniture, flowers, birds, insects and fish.

……

As soon as he arrived in Dongshi, Li Fengning heard a familiar voice among the noisy voices.

"Boss, you see that I am so white and clean, handsome and unrestrained, can I be cheaper!"

Looking over the crowd, he saw that it was Zhiqiu Yiye.

He was standing next to a horse, with a grim face, and he was bargaining with a man.

This horse looks quite handsome, with no stray hairs all over its body, it seems to be a good horse.

When Li Fengning and Wang Bo approached, Zhiqiu Yiye also saw Li Fengning.

"Brother Fengning! Brother Fengning!"

Zhiqiu Yiye grinned and greeted Li Fengning.

When Li Fengning approached, he said:
"What's the matter, brother Fengning, don't you need to work anymore, it seems that you've had a good time recently!
"It's not like us, who just narrowly escaped death."

Then, his eyes lit up, as if he suddenly thought of something, and said:

"Brother Fengning, Qingfeng Temple is being rebuilt, and we just need someone to re-carve the Sanqing statue.

"It's better to cheap you than to cheap other people!

"what do you think?"
