Seven hundred taels, not seventy taels!
When Chen Mianmian saw the expectant looks in her parents' eyes, she suddenly regretted that she shouldn't have made a fool of herself by saying she would give them money.
Mrs. Bao said excitedly: "It's only seven hundred taels of silver. Mianmian, in such a big Hou Mansion, if there is a little leakage between the palms, it will be more than seven hundred taels."
"But seven hundred taels is not a small amount." Chen Mianmian sighed.
It was only after she started taking care of the house these days that she learned that the Marquis' annual salary was only one thousand taels of silver.
In the past, Chen Mianmian would have thought that one thousand taels was an astronomical figure, but now...
Chen Mianmian hesitated: "Father, mother, my daughter got married, and the Marquis gave me five hundred taels of silver. How about you take the five hundred taels of silver?"
"But there is still two hundred taels short of it!" Mrs. Bao sighed, "Two hundred taels of silver. Your father and I have only saved two hundred taels of silver at our age. Let us give you another two hundred taels." This will cost both of our lives and we can’t even get it out.”
Chen Ming lowered his head and remained silent.
Mrs. Bao sighed and suddenly thought of something: "Mianmian, why don't you go find Xu Wanning? She made the first move today for two hundred taels, and another two hundred taels, isn't it a drizzle?"
Chen Ming also raised his head suddenly, looking forward to it, "Mianmian, I think your mother is right. How about you go find Xu Wanning?"
Chen Mianmian boasted that she had a good relationship with Xu Wanning, and it was not like she had borrowed it and refused to return it, so she had no choice but to nod, "Okay."
Ningyuan.
It was late at night, and before Xu Wanning could fall asleep, word spread outside that Chen Mianmian was here.
Qingxing was undressing Xu Wanning's hair. She had just taken off a hairpin. When she heard this, her face fell. "She is so anxious. Can't she wait all night? She won't let anyone sleep."
Xu Wanning smiled, "Isn't this just what we want?"
Qingxing thought about it and said, "That's right. It's exactly what we wanted."
"So don't think about it. Let's go and listen to how much she wants. Let's see who among us can guess the most accurately. I'll reward the one who guesses the closest." Xu Wanning was in a good mood and finally saw Qing Xing grinning.
Qing Xing happily put another hairpin on Xu Wanning and helped Xu Wanning out.
Chen Mianmian had already sat down, sitting on the left side of Xu Wanning's usual seat. When Xu Wanning came out, she only smiled and looked at her, her body motionless.
Xu Wanning sat next to her calmly, "Auntie, why do you want to see me so late?"
"Aning, I want to borrow some money from you and pay you back as soon as I have money."
Xu Wanning took a sip of warm water. She held the tea bowl and lightly opened her red lips, "Auntie, when you ask me to borrow money, you have to give me a reason, right?"
"What I'm about to say is that my parents want to buy a house, which costs 1,150 taels. My parents and I have been scraping together, but we're still short of 200 taels. We really can't get enough, so we decided to be shameless. Come to An Ning for a favor."
Xu Wanning asked first: "I'm quite familiar with the housing prices in this area. In what location and how big is the house?"
"It's very close to the Marquis' Mansion. It only takes a quarter of an hour to walk. It's a second-level house."
"Then the house price is a good deal. The prices for such big houses over there are upwards of 1,700 to 1,100 taels. It's a good deal." Xu Wanning said.
When Chen Mianmian heard what Xu Wanning said, she became more confident in buying the house.
"So I wanted to quickly raise money to buy it, and it would fulfill my parents' wish. They only have a daughter of mine, and they also wanted to be by my side so that it would be easier to move around in the future."
"Why doesn't my aunt go to my father to ask for it?" Xu Wanning asked: "My father should give it to my aunt."
Chen Mianmian was a little embarrassed, "The last time I got married, the Marquis had already given me a lot. Besides, it was my parents' business. It would be inappropriate to ask the Marquis for it again. That's why I thought of trouble An Ning. Don't worry. , I won’t borrow it from you in vain, I will use it for ten days, and after ten days, I will pay you an extra fifty taels of interest, what do you think?”
Xu Wanning looked at Chen Mianmian, smiling brightly, "If I don't agree to such a good thing, I won't be able to convince myself."
so.
"Qing Xing, go get two hundred taels of silver."
Qingxing turned around and went into the inner room, and quickly came out with a two hundred tael silver note in her hand, which she gave to Xu Wanning respectfully.
Xu Wanning pushed the banknote to Chen Mianmian: "This is two hundred taels."
"Aning, you are really kind-hearted. Don't worry, I will definitely pay you back in ten days." Chen Mianmian said excitedly.
Xu Wanning took a sip of water and smiled: "I'm not in a hurry. I just want to advise my aunt, this house is so popular, you should buy it as soon as possible. I suggest that after you get the money, you should give the money to the seller as soon as possible and sell the house Make a decision, so as not to fetch water from a bamboo basket but in vain.”
Chen Mianmian also had this intention: "Thank you Aning for reminding me. I will ask my father to give the money to the seller tomorrow."
Xu Wanning drank the last sip of warm water in the cup.
Chen Mianmian has also disappeared into the night.
Xu Wanning put down the cup and said to Qing Xing: "Go tell Chen Wang and let him take the next step."
Qingxing: "Miss, I still need to comb your hair. It's late at night, you should rest."
Xu Wanning: "..."
Chen Wang gave her so many glances in vain.
Yuxinyuan.
Mr. Bao was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night, so he looked forward to dawn and hurried to buy the house.
When the price is so reasonable, the location is so good, and the house is so big, who wouldn’t want to buy it right away?
If you delay any longer, you will have long nights and dreams.
Early the next morning, Mrs. Bao asked Chen Ming to pay the money.
The originally agreed date was advanced three days, but Chen Ming forgot that he still didn't know where the person lived.
Chen Mianmian said: "Go and ask around the house where the house is being sold. The seller said it took several months to sell it. Maybe there are neighbors nearby who know him?"
"Yeah."
Chen Ming took the money and immediately led Bao to the house.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Chen Wang pointed to a house in front and said, "Here, that's it."
Mrs. Bao was overjoyed: "It's so close to the Marquis' Mansion! You found this house very well."
"That's right." Chen Ming smiled proudly.
Mrs. Bao said suspiciously: "Huh? Why is the door of the house open?"
The two of them entered the house and happened to meet the little brother who had eaten noodles yesterday who was showing a couple the house.
"If you like it, you can make a decision. This house is in a good location, the house is good, and the price is fair. If you hesitate, you might not be able to buy it tomorrow," Sun Wu said.
The couple still hesitated.
Chen Ming said loudly: "Little brother, your brother and I made an agreement yesterday that I will buy the house! Didn't he tell you?"
"I went to Linxian yesterday to pick up these two guests. I just arrived in Yancheng and I haven't met my fourth brother yet." Sun Wu immediately said to the guests behind him: "I'm really sorry, this house has been sold. Yes. I'll take you to see other places."
Unexpectedly, the man stamped his feet and said firmly: "I don't care about anything else, I want this!"
