The Imperial Concubine Chef - C85
He heard quite a bit about the family along the way.
Although they weren’t too clear about it, it was more or less clear to the two of them what was going on. It was just that the family was widowed, and the son and his daughter were dependent on each other. He raised his son and married his wife, but married her in an unvirtuous manner. Not only did he not show filial piety to his mother-in-law and cherish his sister-in-law, but he also caused a ruckus in the house every day. Not only that, Mrs Feng was seriously ill after the new year. He died last month. He was still in filial piety when his daughter-in-law forced him to sell the house to her brother to do business. The son was also a wimp with a soft ear and a timid wife, so he wanted to sell the house. But if he sold the house, he would be able to go to his father-in-law’s house and suffer grievances for a few months. Thus, the daughter-in-law wanted to sell her sister-in-law to a half old man to fill in the rooms.
Even though she was just passing by, this woman was always making a ruckus every day, and everyone on the street knew about her. Especially since there were so many people on this street, so many things could be said in one sentence. Moreover, both Su Xinyu and Hu Ya were extremely intelligent. They had both been hurt by those trash relatives in the family before, what didn’t they understand?
A middle-aged man quickly stepped forward when they reached the tooth shop. Do you two have anything that I can help you with? ”
Su Xinyu said: “I want to buy a house on this street, it doesn’t need to be too big or it can’t be too small, but there must be a well in the house. And you must face the street. ”
The moment he heard that they were here to buy the mansion, he felt that this was a pretty good deal. The amount of silver he got from buying and selling houses was much more than selling people. Moreover, he wasn’t an ordinary person, so he could only be a middleman. Naturally, he couldn’t earn much, so he was very happy. Moreover, he knew the identities of these two youths with a single sentence. “Don’t think that everything you see through is the same, but just by looking at his appearance and speech, this slightly shorter young man is the master.” But does Young Master have any houses that I like? ”
Su Xinyu laughed: “Sir, you must be joking. When I first came to your place, how would I know which one to sell? Oh, that’s not right. When I came here just now, I heard that on the other side of the street, the Feng family wanted to sell the mansion. But when I passed by, I only saw a woman shouting in front of a house. Is there something wrong with the house? ”
Upon hearing that it was the Feng Family courtyard. “The man frowned.” Logically speaking, the house was for sale. The kid told me about it. But I don’t want to help. ”
Su Xinyu raised her eyebrows, “Oh? “Why is that?”
The Tooth Man sighed, “I shouldn’t have said that. But seeing that you are asking me, Young Master, I do not explain it clearly as if I do not want to do business with you. That was actually the case. There was still a girl in the Feng family who hadn’t left the pavilion. Where does she live if the house is sold? Boss Feng was not a bad sort, but a coward who was afraid of his wife. His wife was angered to death by his mother, but he didn’t say anything. If he wanted to sell the mansion, he would listen. Now, he was even going to sell his own sister. Tell me. If I sell the house, then the girl will be sold to someone else to fill in the house. Even though I do business, I’m still an old man on this street. I’ve watched that child grow up. How could he harden his heart like that? ”
No matter what the truth was, it was clear to see that the tooth man was sincere for him to say such words in front of him. Although it was the first time they met, she said that the other party was indeed a little too talkative, but Su Xinyu did not care about all these. “Then, what’s the layout of the mansion like?”
The Tooth Man replied, “That’s good. There were three main rooms and four side rooms. There was a stable at the back, but their family didn’t have the ability to raise livestock. Now they were using it to grow vegetables. There was indeed a well in the courtyard, and it was still a sweet well. So the house was worth some silver. Otherwise, how could that woman have any ideas about the house? Young Master, where did you set your eyes on? ”
Hearing about the situation, Su Xinyu nodded her head in satisfaction: “I think it’s not bad indeed. “However, I wonder how much the Feng Family wants to sell this mansion for?”
The man frowned. However, it was a business deal after all. Although he was unwilling, he could not push away the customer. He could only say, “Their family is asking for three hundred liang.” To be honest, the price is quite high. It was that woman who wanted money for her big brother to buy it, which was why she was asking for such a high price. However, after so many days, no one asked. Who would be willing to be so expensive? “If I fill another one hundred and eighty silver taels, I can buy a courtyard on South Street.”
Su Xinyu didn’t really understand the prices here. But Manager Zhang knew. She did ask about the price of the house. Therefore, he knew that the price wasn’t low, but it definitely wasn’t high either. “But there is no reason for those people to take advantage of us.” Well, you ask the family. I won’t bargain three hundred silvers, but they’ll have to sell me their girls. “However, I will only give you 10 silver coins.”
Fang Ren’s eyes were wide opened: “Young Master! This was not something that could be randomly said. “That girl is the daughter of a good family!”
Hu Ya stared: “Who is still not a good young master? My Young Master has good intentions! “Don’t even think about that nonsense!”
Su Xinyu laughed: “Mister, you don’t have to worry. I wanted to buy the girl, but I just wanted her to stay with my mother. To tell you the truth, there are only three of us in my house. My mother was also a widow who led me alone. I settled down in Haian City because I wanted to do business and earn a living. We’re both men, and we can’t stay at home with my mother. He also wanted to buy a servant girl. Now, when that girl’s sister-in-law wants to sell her to someone else to fill in the rooms, it’s not to have her accompany my mother, so she doesn’t have to leave the house that she’s used to staying in. In the future, even if my mother finds a good wife for him, she can’t ruin his reputation. Don’t worry, even if it’s an indenture contract, I won’t let her become a slave. Even I, as your servant, treat you as my own brother. ”
Upon hearing this, the man with teeth was skeptical. However, the two youths standing in front of him had a serious expression on their cool faces, so he was able to believe what they were saying. In fact, he also knew that whether it was true or false, this was the best way out for Acorn. Compared to filling up Boss Zhao’s room, he had no idea how he died. He would rather sell it to be a maidservant. It wouldn’t be too much even if he followed such a beautiful young master in the future. Those who were able to take out several hundred silver to buy the house in one go would surely not be in a hurry to eat and wear. There was nothing bad about it.
Coming back from the tooth shop. Hu Ya huffed and puffed. The eldest daughter-in-law of the Feng family was not human at all! We’re all women, why are you bullying your sister-in-law like this! ”
Su Xinyu sighed. Sometimes, discrimination and mistreatment of women were the most vicious. Just like the Seventh Grandmother’s chastity arch. How was that a good thing? In the life of a person, if it wasn’t for the fact that Seventh Grandmother was loyal and unswerving to her seventh grandfather, unwilling to be forced to remarry by her family and family, she wouldn’t be willing to bear the burden of such a thing. ” Sigh. I hope this can be done. “If it succeeds, we can be considered to have done a good deed.”
Hu Ya was actually very confident, “Definitely succeed!”
Returning to the inn, the two of them told Su Wenlan about this matter. “When Su Wenlan heard it, tears almost fell out of her eyes. Why are there so many detestable people in this world that are unfair? Xinyu, you did the right thing. I hope this can be accomplished. ”
There was no reason why this shouldn’t be the case. Although the Feng couple wanted more silver, they didn’t think that they would be able to not bargain with each other at a price of three hundred silver taels. Boss Zhao, on the other hand, only gave twenty taels to buy the red berries. As a result, Su Xinyu and the others with three hundred and ten silver coins as well as a little girl, weren’t at too much of a disadvantage. Furthermore, the enemy had said that the Young Master wanted Agarwood to serve his wife. If they did not sell him, they would not buy the house. As a result, after three days, Fang Ren arrived at the tavern and told Su Xinyu about this matter. Of course, most of the time, he wanted to see the family’s elders.
After going through such a long journey, Su Wenlan had seen a lot of people and saw a lot of things. Although shshecould not change his cowardly temperament, she still did not show it on the surface. Thus, when the man with the teeth saw such a kind and dignified lady present, he was completely at ease. He told his wife to tell him that his future master was indeed a good person. So it was settled.
On the other hand, Su Xinyu paid with the money, while the Feng Family paid with their own hands. There was a signature mark on the contract, and of course, there had to be a mark on the Acorn’s hand. So in the gums, Arguing came with her brother.
Boss Feng pressed the handprint, but just as agape was about to press the handprint, Su Xinyu stopped him. Rui, you must think carefully, press this handprint, from now on, you are my Su Family’s man. Nothing more to do with your brother. Whether you live or die, whether you are rich or poor has nothing to do with him. ”
“Young Master, I don’t have a choice, do I? Furthermore, I would rather not get involved with such an unfilial mother’s brother! ”
Su Xinyu nodded. She was also a woman with a tough personality. “It’s much more pleasing to the eye than those who only know how to cry.” Feng Huai, you have also thought it through clearly. From now on, you no longer have a single sister from your fellow countrymen. “In the future, even if she marries into the Wealthy Class and has the Jinshan Silver Mountain, it has nothing to do with you.”
Feng Huai was actually unwilling to part with it. But he was even more reluctant to part with his wife. Moreover, just now his sister had said that she would rather have nothing to do with him. His heart was already set on the Yue Clan. Besides, he couldn’t ask her to stay either. “Seeing the three hundred and ten liang in his hand, if he can’t take it back, my wife and brother-in-law will chop him into pieces.” Young Master, there’s no need to say anymore. A deal is a deal. “How can you go back on your word?”
Su Xinyu laughed coldly. “Alright.” Aberry, press your fingerprint. From now on, you are no longer related to the Feng Family. ”
“Acorn, calm and unhurried, press down on the handprint.” Young master, don’t worry. I will serve the Lady well. I won’t let you regret saving my life today! ”
Feng Huai took the money and was just about to leave. Su Xinyu immediately stopped him. Now that the deeds are in my hands. Now you two leave my yard! Hu Zi, watch them pack their things. Other than the things in their bedroom, even if you take an extra piece of firewood, you have to take him to the government office to sue him for stealing! ”
Feng Huai did not expect this Young Master to have such a trick up his sleeve. He immediately glared at his, “So what if I’m packing up my things? I’m selling the mansion, not my family’s stuff! ”
Su Xinyu laughed coldly, “It’s written very clearly on the deeds book. Who can you blame for not being able to read? All you need to know is that I was merciful in letting you pack your clothes. “If you’re not convinced, we can talk about it in the yamen!”
