"A hundred guan is a hundred guan!" The bearded man was very angry.
"Then I'll give you one hundred and ten strings."
"You brat, are you deliberately trying to get in trouble with us?"
"They are all here to buy a house, and naturally the one with the highest price will get it."
"you!"
"Forget it..." the girl wearing a bamboo hat said softly, but also in a much lower voice, "Uncle Third, we don't have much expenses, so we shouldn't spend too much here. We'd better go as we originally thought and find a temporary place that is enough." Wherever you live, that’s all.”
"Miss, this brat is really annoying!"
The girl didn't say anything more, and walked slowly forward to Bai Song's side: "Master, above the restaurant, my brother has offended many people, and this little girl has to apologize here."
After saying that, he turned around and made a move, calling the three accompanying people and leaving.
This girl's voice was really nice, and Bai Song couldn't help but look at her a few more times.
"Young Master, do the hundred and ten strings you mentioned earlier still count?"
"certainly."
Bai Song nodded happily.
This house is much bigger than Bai Song imagined. It doesn't matter the furnishings and structure of the house, and one hundred and ten coins can be guaranteed to make a profit without losing anything.
Then Bai Song and the head of the family returned to the county government office. The head of the family took the money, and Bai Song took the house deed.
Bai Song will give Ya Yi two more coins for hard work, and all the procedures will be completed.
Buying a house went much more smoothly than expected. After everything was negotiated and it was still early in the morning, we got three carriages and drove to Qu's house in the western suburbs.
The appearance of the three-carriage procession in the western suburbs was particularly eye-catching, attracting many people to go out and watch.
Until it stopped in front of Qu's house, Bairou jumped out of the car and entered the Qu's yard to let Sangsang's family move.
Bai Song hid in the carriage, not wanting too many people to know about it. If the news reached the Lin family, there would be trouble.
The Sangsang family never expected Bai Song to be so vigorous and resolute in his affairs.
The important matter of buying a house was decided in less than half a day, and the move was imminent.
When the people in the western suburbs county heard that the Qu family had bought a new house in the county and would soon move to the city, the sour taste in their hearts became even stronger.
They gathered outside and watched the driver helping people move things, while they all scolded each other.
This was good, but it also strengthened the Qu family's determination to leave.
The moving time was short, and there was nothing available under the Qu family’s roof.
Half an hour later, the motorcade headed for Xinzhaoxing.
Most of the furniture was placed on the third car, and some remaining clothes were placed on the second car. Uncle Qu and Aunt Qu were crowded together.
Bai Song, his sister and three other people were sitting in a car, which was very spacious inside.
After a while, Sangsang's mood seemed to improve, but she looked around at the small house in the western suburbs with some reluctance. She didn't sit back quietly until she couldn't see the shadow of the western suburbs at all.
Bai Rou was excited all the way and couldn't wait to tell Sangsang how big the house her brother bought was.
Sangsang listened and thought, with a calm expression and no emotion at all.
Bai Song suddenly asked: "Sang Sang, you don't seem very happy about moving to a new home?"
"No, Sangsang is very happy."
"Keep the deed."
While talking, Bai Song took out the house deed and handed it to Sang Sang.
Sangsang was puzzled and took the house deed, not knowing why.
"Brother Bai, what does this mean?"
"I don't trust this house deed to Uncle Qu and Auntie Qu, so you should keep it safe."
"This is Brother Bai's house, what is the deed for?"
"This is the house that Brother Bai bought for you, so the deed will naturally be given to you."
"Ah?!" After being surprised, Sangsang shook his head repeatedly, "No, no, this is absolutely not allowed!"
Sang Sang was a little excited and her voice rose a bit. Bai Song hurriedly covered Sang Sang's mouth: "Shh..."
Sangsang blinked, looking at Brother Bai's serious look, his vision suddenly became blurry.
Bai Song smiled: "We agreed from the beginning that we would buy a house for your family. I just want to have a place to stay when I come here occasionally. I gave this house deed to Uncle Qu, but I'm afraid Uncle Qu won't accept it. So. Leave it to you, Sang Sang. I know Sang Sang is careful and will keep it safe. At the same time, we must keep this secret and don’t tell Qu your parents for the time being."
"Brother Bai..." Sangsang was moved to tears, holding the house deed in her little hands as if on a pilgrimage.
"Sang Sang, I have always regarded you as my sister. I live in Linzhai now and can't take care of you. Buying you a better house will make me feel at ease. Just live in peace and don't think too much."
Bai Song was very serious and deliberately emphasized that he regarded her as his sister, just to impress this little girl.
This is not avoidance. In Bai Song's heart, he does treat Sangsang as his younger sister.
The younger sister obviously didn't like her brother the same way, so she took the opportunity to give her some advice to avoid embarrassment and to save Xiao Nizi from being sad.
It's just that Sangsang's mind was entirely focused on the house deed, and she didn't seem to pay attention to Brother Bai's reminder at all.
On the contrary, he fantasized with some joy.
I was not very interested before because I was thinking about what Bai Rou said.
Brother Bai wants to live in the same room as Miss Lin.
Then this house is naturally the house of Brother Bai and Miss Lin.
She just went over to help Brother Bai look around the house.
Although he is moving, his new home seems to have nothing to do with him.
But now it's different. Brother Bai personally handed over the deed of the house to him and said personally that this was a house he bought for himself.
Explain that this is the house that he and Brother Bai jointly own.
There is no Miss Lin, only Brother Bai and himself!
The gap has changed tremendously!
At this thought, Sangsang changed from not daring to accept to reluctant to let go.
Blushing, he folded the house deed carefully and put it in his arms.
This house deed has nothing to do with value, but rather the ownership of the home.
"Brother...this..."
Bai Rou looked at it dumbfounded.
I thought that although my family had a good relationship with Sangsang, they wouldn't give away such a big house, right?
One hundred and ten dollars will never be used up in a lifetime!
Xiao Nizi was a little reluctant to give up.
Bai Song knew what she was thinking, plucked Xiao Rouer's nose, and cursed in a low voice: "You are young, don't be a miser, you will follow me from now on, I won't let you lose."
…
The car drove all the way across Mang County, and it took half an hour to get from the western suburbs to the east of the city.
Bai Rou obviously didn't describe the "bigness" of the "big house" clearly to Sang Sang.
When the Sangsang family saw the door of the house, they were dumbfounded.
Although it is not as wide as the courtyard of a large house, it is still a standard two-door door, which can accommodate three people walking side by side, and the height is about one foot.
There was a rusty iron lock in front of the door, and it was obvious that no one had entered for some time.
The two plastered courtyard walls are a full foot long, with some cracks on the walls and more or less dotted with green moss.
Looking from left to right, the distance between east and west of the house is more than ten feet. As for how deep it is from north to south, you still have to walk through the door.
Bai Song took out the key and unlocked the door.
Pushing open the door, the wooden door creaked and made a crunching sound.
It's a bit old, it still needs time to straighten out.
"Uncle Qu, Auntie, what are you doing standing here? Let's go to the hospital first."
"Nephew Bai Xian... this... this... is really the house you bought?" The aunt's voice was trembling.
An ordinary citizen would never have thought in his life that he could enter the house of such a wealthy man.
"Of course!" Bai Song nodded and waved to Sangsang, "Don't be stupid. This house has been unoccupied for more than half a year. It must be a mess. Come in and tidy it up first."
Sangsang gently touched the property deed in his arms and felt that his burden was heavier.
"Dad, Mom, let's go in and take a look first."
The entrance to the house is a large courtyard, half of the ground is paved with bluestone bricks, and the other half is paved with gravel. There is a flower bed next to the wall on the west side, and a fan-shaped corridor leads directly to the backyard. On the east side, there are more bluestone bricks piled up, and various A chisel repair tool.
It seemed that the previous owner was repairing the house, but it had not yet been completed. The ground is half paved, and now much of the paved ground has been overturned by stubborn vegetation, and the bricks are twisted and a bit messy.
The flower beds are overgrown with weeds, showing their tenacious vitality.
There is a large house sitting on the north side, with four large doors facing the courtyard gate. There is a stone screen in the middle to stabilize the feng shui of the house, which looks very particular.
This is the main hall, which is evenly built and looks particularly solemn.
Through the open door, it can be seen that there is no furniture inside, and it is empty.
This room alone is ten times larger than the Qu family's shed, not to mention the inner courtyard behind the corridor to the west.
Ya Zhi said that there are eight large and small houses in this house and fourteen rooms.
There are east and west wing rooms, study room, kitchen, woodshed, stables, ancestral hall, and flat houses where servants live.
There is also a small garden.
The entire house covers an area of half an acre.
It's not that big in a big city, but there are only a handful of houses bigger than this one in Mang County.
The Bai family brothers and sisters and the Sangsang family are very busy.
The bigger the house is, the more places it needs to be organized. The amount of work is immeasurable.
Bai Song can only help clean up today, and can only rely on Uncle Qu and Auntie in the future.
Bai Song only had one request for this house, which was to demolish the small garden at the back and make it into a vegetable garden.
There are many decorations in the small garden, which were obviously carefully designed by the owner of the house, so it is a pity to leave them like this.
But Bai Song was very insistent, and Sangsang agreed.
A small vegetable garden was of great significance to Bai Song. He chose the best soil for the pepper seeds he had just obtained through the experimental space, and carefully planted them. All that was left was to look forward to the emergence of the peppers.
After peppers there’s more to grow: potatoes, tomatoes, peppercorns, onions and more…
This small vegetable garden was the experimental field of the Bai Song Dynasty. Only by growing tenaciously in the small vegetable garden could these foods that did not belong to the Tang Dynasty flourish in the fields he would settle in the future.
…
Bai Song stayed at the new house until dusk and left after seeing that the Sangsang family had cleared out a wing room that was large enough for three people to live temporarily.
Sang Sang sent Bai Song a long way, and finally left reluctantly.
On the way back to Lin Mansion, a vegetable cake stall on the street gave off a burst of aroma.
Compared with big fish and meat, Bai Song felt that simple food that did not require complicated cooking was more to his liking.
Stopped to buy cakes, one for my sister and two for me.
The vegetable pancake was hot and firm, and after a few bites, Bai Song finally felt like he was enjoying it.
Bai Song was enjoying the delicious vegetable cakes when suddenly someone bumped his shoulder...
"You brat, don't you have eyes when you walk?"
A ruffian-looking young man dressed in rags and with a burnt complexion raised his hand to block Bai Song's path.
Behind him, seven or eight young people with the same temperament stood with cold eyebrows.
