"It's okay. This house is quite old. The furniture in the house is too plain, the flowers and plants are too ordinary, and the lotus pond is too small."
A few light words hit the point.
"Girl, take a closer look. This courtyard was only built more than ten years ago. The pillars and beams are made of solid materials, and the carvings are the skills of famous craftsmen in the capital."
Jiang Shuyue raised her eyes and took a look. In fact, she had seen it a long time ago. This house had antique features, including carved beams and painted beams. Even the mullioned windows were exquisitely carved.
The majestic auspicious beasts on the roof indicate a wealthy home.
The pillars of the Chaoshou Corridor cannot be carried by one person, so they are made of a lot of materials.
Especially the pillars and beams in the front hall, with the red bird spreading its wings, are so lifelike that they look like they have been repainted.
There are green weeping willows beside the lotus pond, and half of the pond is full of lotus flowers, which has a unique charm.
Seeing Jiang Shuyue walking non-stop towards the outside, Fang Yazi gritted his teeth and said, "If the girl likes her, I'll ask my boss to erase the fraction. What do you think?"
In the capital, this is considered a mansion-level courtyard. There are only a few people looking at it. If it is not sold, people will have to be hired to tidy up the flowers, plants and trees after summer, which is another expense.
As long as you can earn enough for the previous expenses and errand fees, that's pretty much it.
Jiang Shuyue said calmly: "For the sake of your sincerity, you should go back and negotiate with the owner first, and then bring the house deed to Huajianzhu to find me."
The deal was finally concluded, and Fang Yazi was overjoyed.
He walked a few steps quickly to say something flattering to Jiang Shuyue, but Cangyun and Gao Mu were closely guarding him, so he had no choice but to follow closely.
With a smile on his face, he said: "I'll take note of it. I'll go see the girl tomorrow with the house deed."
After leaving Guixiang Street, they parted ways with Fang Yazi.
On the way back, Gao Mu said seriously: "If Miss thinks that the lotus pond is too small, when the dry season comes, my subordinates will have the whole lotus pond next to it dug up."
"No, that lawn is just right, and the lotus pond is actually enough. When we move in, we can buy some more fish and put them in it."
Cangyun patted Gao Mu on the shoulder, "Didn't you see that the master likes this yard very much?"
Jiang Shuyue turned back and gave Cangyun an appreciative look, "Yes, it occupies a large area and there are many places that can be renovated. The eaves are all painted, and the house is well maintained."
She paused and then said: "The key is that this location is exactly what I want. The courtyard with four entrances is worth 120,000 taels."
"My master is still wise, but Fang Yazi is very cunning. When my subordinate saw the one hundred and twenty-two thousand taels written on the book, he is really a profiteer!"
"Why erase two thousand taels? That's the amount they added."
Seeing Cang Yun's furious expression, Jiang Shuyue smiled and said, "People who do business are just for profit. As long as they don't do anything unscrupulous, there's nothing wrong with it."
At this time, Sui Sui touched his round belly and said, "Uncle Nangong, Sui Sui can't eat anymore."
From the time he left home until now, he has tasted all the snacks on the street.
Nangong Zeyue glanced at the shadows under the eaves of the street. It was half an hour before noon.
He took Suisui's hand and walked forward, "Juxian Pavilion is right in front. Let's pack some signature dishes back for your mother to try."
…
In the Huajianzhu Inn.
Gao Mu took an envelope and handed it to Jiang Shuyue, "Master, this is what the prince asked me to give to you before I left."
Jiang Shuyue took the envelope. Inside was a brief letter with a piece of paper inside.
Xiao Sui'an, courtesy name, Xuan.
Strong and powerful words leap into view.
She raised her head and widened her eyes. Gao Mu swallowed, "Master, please read the letter. The Crown Prince should have an explanation."
Gao Mu said and retreated.
The prince made a household registration for the young master Suisui without the girl's consent.
This fire might hurt Chiyu, and he didn't want to be that fish now or later.
After reading the letter, Jiang Shuyue threw it on the table with a bang, "Huh! That's so good. A father's love is like a mountain. He not only gives his son a surname, but also gives him more support."
"Mom, is daddy here?"
At this time, Nangong Zeyue happened to come back with Suisui.
When he heard his mother calling daddy's name, Sui Sui let go of Nangong Zeyue's hand and ran towards the house.
I saw my mother’s cheeks bulging. I knew my mother was angry every year.
He lowered his head to pick up the letter on the ground and read it quickly.
He knew all the words on it.
"Mom, don't be angry. I like my mother and my father. No matter what my surname is, I am my mother's son. Can you always call me Sui Sui?" Sui Sui said as he put the letter on the table and threw it. Enter your mother's arms and act like a spoiled child.
Her son was cute and sensible. Jiang Shuyue touched her son's little head, and her unhappiness immediately disappeared.
Xiao Jingzhao thought carefully. He didn't want others to say that his son was a child without a father.
Nangong Zeyue had sensitive ears and heard the conversation between mother and son outside the door.
He knocked on the door.
"Come in and sit down. I asked the three of them to go shopping. They should be back soon." Jiang Shuyue lowered the expression in her eyes.
Nangong Zeyue walked into the house and said, "Your three girls are back. I brought back some dishes and they took them to the kitchen to plate them."
Nangong Zeyue glanced at the letter on the table, with a smile on her lips.
"Were you unhappy about this just now?"
Jiang Shuyue let go of her son and asked him to find Gao Mu and Cangyun by himself.
"It's not that I'm unhappy, it's just that it was too sudden. My son hasn't been on the yellow roll since he was born, so it's good that he helped with it."
Jiang Shuyue was a reasonable person, and she quickly understood Xiao Jingzhao's thoughts. She then told Nangong Zeyue that she had taken a fancy to a big house.
"Opposite Qingyun Zhai, the location is good. From now on, I will often take Sui Sui to Qingyun Zhai. They say that those who are near the water first get the moon. Wouldn't it be a great thing if Sui Sui becomes a disciple of Mr. Zhen in the future?"
Nangong Zeyue knew that Sui Sui had the ability to have a photographic memory. As long as he showed his prominence and had a reputation as a true scholar, Sui Sui would easily fall in his favor.
The next day, Fang Yazi brought two young men over early in the morning to handle the handover.
Jiang Shuyue handed over the banknotes to Cangyun and Gao Mu, and they followed Fang Yazi to the government to exchange the house deed.
Before Gao Mu left, he asked for Suisui's household registration booklet. Only then did Jiang Shuyue realize that Xiao Jingzhao had foresight and Suisui's household registration booklet was of great use.
Although I have a pornographic record, this era is harsh on women. If a woman wants to buy a house, she has to go to the government office to be a single female household.
But I currently don’t have the conditions to set up a female household.
Like her, who was expelled from the family tree, only after opening a shop and paying a certain amount of tax money can she meet the conditions for opening a female household.
Jiang Shuyue led everyone to spend three days purchasing items and various supplies.
Gao Mu and Cangyun hung the plaque with their own hands.
Looking at the gilded plaque, Suisui took Jiang Shuyue's hand and said cheerfully: "Mother, look, this is Jiang Mansion, our new home. I like it very much."
"The young lady and the young master have been through hard work. Our Jiang Mansion is harmonious and happy, and I like it very much." Qiu Ju knew the lady's thoughts well, and she said with a smile.
Jiang Shuyue's new home is full of joy.
The Shangshu Mansion in Dongcheng was also filled with joy.
Today, Jiang Jiaojiao was dressed very grandly, with a bright yellow brocade wrapped around her slim figure. Begonia beads and jade steps made her even more delicate.
Although her appearance is not as good as Jiang Shuyue's, after being carefully dressed, she still looks like Xiaojiabiyu.
She was sitting in the boudoir, as if waiting for something.
