Chapter 950 Maple Villa

"If Bai Shuren is interested, you can send a steward to go and have a look with me, and then come back and report back to Shuren." Wang Gui looked at the old lady in the first place and felt excited. When officials buy other courtyards, they naturally become more and more perfect. Well, it would be nice to stay at Zhuangzi from time to time.

After hearing this, Baiyunxi made a plan in his mind.

 “That’s okay, you can make an appointment and we’ll go take a look.”

"Young man, I'm always waiting for you." Wang Gui stood up and bowed, "If you can, you can go check it out this afternoon or tomorrow morning."

“Tomorrow morning, we’ll meet at the west city gate.”

Baiyunxi looked at Wenyou, "Let's go and have a look tomorrow. I guess Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the city won't be too cheap."

After breakfast the next day, Baiyunxi changed into simple clothes and set off with Wenyou Pomegranate.

My mother purchased a lot of Zhuangzi, and it was all the credit of the fourth and second brothers.

 “Hey~”

Standing on the hillside, she could have a panoramic view of the entire villa. As long as the price was right, she liked it very much.

 When I came to her, I offered her both hands, and my mother-in-law didn’t even look at her.

“This is my little wish, don’t refuse, mother. Most of our family’s income is earned by the fourth brother, but the fourth brother’s time for business is limited... I don’t have much, but I also want to do my best.”

Wang Gui was surprised when he saw Baiyun River. He quickly greeted him and said, "I didn't know Bai Shuren was coming, so I was negligent."

  For those yellow and white things, I have exhausted all my plans and racked my brains.

The carriage stopped in front of Wang Gui. Wenyou held the reins and said, "Wang Yahui, please lead the way."

Across the maple path, there is another courtyard. No one lives there. The eaves are covered with vine branches. Although it looks quite dilapidated, it can be seen that the previous wheelhouse took a lot of effort to build.

 “I wonder what the price of this Zhuangzi is?”

 Other than that, it’s all fields, 500 acres, which is really not small.

 Going out of the back door of the villa, there is a bamboo forest. When you go up the stone steps, you will see a steaming pool. Because the pool is abandoned, the hot spring water flows down the ditch next to it and merges into the creek.

“This is your dowry, keep it yourself. It’s enough with Xiao Si supporting your head.”

"Casual look."

Hearing the price, Wenyou frowned, "This is dry land, not paddy land. Why is it so expensive?"

The sky has eyes for her to meet such a reasonable and good mother-in-law.

Pomegranate supported her master's arm and said softly, "If we buy this place, we will waste a lot of time just repairing it."

Hearing Zhang Yishan’s inner voice, Bai Yunxi couldn’t help but curl up her lips.

 It does cost a lot for Xiao Wu to deal with things outside, inquire about news, and handle some chores. But with him here, the rest of the people will have the confidence whether they are farming or doing business, and their intangible contributions are also valuable.

“This is the hot spring, which is drained from the mountain.” Wang Gui pointed to the pool emitting white smoke, and then looked at the lush bamboo forest, “nourished by the hot spring, the bamboo forest is evergreen all year round.”

After an official becomes a Hanlin bachelor, he will be worshiped as a third-rank official and paid thirty-five shi a month, so he no longer has to worry about food and drink.

"Yes, I will definitely be waiting for you on time." Wang Gui felt happy, agreed on a time, and left.

In the past, she often heard stories from her friends about whose daughter-in-law was tricked by her husband’s family, and whose mother-in-law coveted her daughter-in-law’s dowry.

 “But mother, this is also what the official means.”

 The two-entry courtyard has a reasonable layout. The cloisters and the moon gate are all in good condition. It can be lived in with simple repairs. It looks good.

Wang Gui jumped out of the carriage and cupped his hands at Wenyou.

“Aunt Wen, we are here, please lead the way.”

 One hundred three. One two four. One hundred four. Two hundred

Wenyou and Baiyunxi looked at each other, both of them were satisfied.

In addition to these two places, there is also an open space, which is a racecourse. It has been idle for too long and is overgrown with weeds.

 Everyone has the responsibility to add wealth to the family. If they work together as brothers, the more harmonious their relationship will be.

 The monthly salary of an official is fixed, but there are many places where money is needed, and the cost is also the largest. Shuyuan always drew it from his father-in-law. After she learned about it, she would occasionally replenish it, but the two of them consumed too much, so they were still a little embarrassed.

 Enter the yard, there is only a winding path, lined with maple trees on both sides, and a layer of dry leaves fell on the ground, making a crunching sound when stepped on.

                     ttle

Wang Gui opened the door of the other courtyard and looked at the fallen leaves on the ground, with regret in his tone.

As my mother said, she is just a fool.

"OK."

 “This is inevitable,”

Seeing Wenyou, Wang Gui was stunned for a moment and looked at the carriage in confusion. He didn't dare to ask any more questions, he just got in the car and drove ahead to lead the way. There were not many people on the official road in winter, and the carriage was fast. We arrived at Fengyang Villa in more than half an hour.

Looking at Zhang Yishan's bulging belly, Bai Yunxi pushed the box to her side without even opening it.

 When Zhang Yishan learned that her mother-in-law wanted to buy Zhuangzi again, she came over again with Ginkgo and a box.

"This is Fengyang Villa. There is only one old man guarding the gate. It looks a bit messy." Wang Gui explained, and went up to knock on the door. After a while, the door creaked open, revealing the face of an old man with a wrinkled face.

 “Uncle Zou, I’m bringing guests to see Zhuangzi.”

“This place has been empty for two years. It already looks dilapidated and lacks popularity. It gets damaged faster.”

 Zhang Yishan looked at her mother-in-law's charitable eyes and had no intention of accepting it. I sighed again in my heart that her mother-in-law was really more generous and upright than the mistresses of those aristocratic families. She didn't even blink when the money was delivered to her, and she didn't covet her daughter-in-law's dowry at all.

 It's just that a gentleman doesn't take away from others' favors. She has a bottom line.

Uncle Zou opened the door, watched Baiyunxi and others follow Wang Gui in, and then went directly into the concierge.

"You have your own children, and there will be a lot of money to spend in the future. Mom still has money on hand, so I don't need yours."

Baiyunxi got out of the car, and Shiliu tied her cloak on her. She looked at the depressing scenery around her. Even the door in front of her was entangled with dead vines. It seemed that no one had cleaned it for a long time.

 “It doesn’t matter, I figured it out myself.”

Hearing Zhang Yishan's emotion, Bai Yunxi almost trembled at the corners of her mouth. Who said she didn't love money? Who said she wouldn't blink when she saw money?

 Her favorite thing is yellow and white things.

Wenyou hung the reins on the bag of the carriage, opened the door, and helped Baiyun Xi down.

Outside the west city gate, there was a carriage parked, and next to it stood Wang Gui, who went to his house yesterday.

“Hui Shuren, Zhuangzi’s price is ten thousand taels.”

 As the saying goes, brothers fight like brothers, and father and son fight in battle.

Baiyunxi glanced at her and chuckled,

The hot spring pool is surrounded by a purple bamboo forest. Just looking at the density of the bamboo forest, people outside cannot see it.

One acre of good dry land costs 5 guan, and 500 acres only costs 2,500 guan. As for the other hot springs in the courtyard, they are all dilapidated, and the racecourse has no trace of its original state.

too expensive.
