Chapter 333

Since Xu Changhui won the Jinshi, the Xu family formally put on the agenda the matter of buying a house and settling down in the capital. Especially after Xu Changhui was appointed to the Hanlin academy, the Xu family wanted to buy a house as soon as possible.

As a matter of fact, the Xu family is not as dilapidated as outsiders think. In addition to the old house and Chuang Tzu, there are always ten thousand pieces of cash in hand. There are several thousand taels of silver in an's dowry. According to her idea, it's better to buy a bigger house to save more trouble in the future.

But Xu Changhui is used to low-key, do not want to be so eye-catching. What he meant was to buy a smaller one to live in, and the rest later. It's just that it's not a bowl. It's hard to find a suitable one for a while.

"My cousin's family moved to Xicheng in September. We can't follow them to move to a new house. This house, when the master's home is gone, it's not like we live here ourselves. We need to find a suitable one as soon as possible. "

Leisurely helped them introduce two very appropriate people in the house, and they also saw a lot, but they still didn't find a suitable one. Xu Changhui felt his chin, "if only my cousin would sell this house."

"You are so busy these days, Mr. prime minister," she said with a dumb smile. "I don't think this house is left by the Shen family's Gaozu. As far as cousin's family is concerned, it's not easy to sell the house. Has Xianggong never said this to anyone? "

Xu Changhui rubbed his hands in embarrassment and said, "of course there is no such thing. I just said it casually. Can I still not know what you said? We are all looking at houses in the West these days. The prices are too high. It costs five or six thousand taels to buy a flat that is not very good. It's too expensive! "

"In fact, it's not that I can't afford to bite my teeth," she said

Xu Changhui said, "I can afford to buy it, but after I buy the house, I always have to repair it and buy some furniture. It's always a big expense. Moreover, we need to set aside some money to buy a few mu of land or a small shop in Beijing, which can also subsidize some household expenses. Otherwise, with my salary in the Hanlin academy, it's a big problem just to feed our family. "

"Isn't there me? If you really don't do it, I'll use my dowry first. "

Xu Changhui shook his head and said, "how can that be done? Your dowry will be left to our children in the future. You can't use it casually. Besides, how can a big man embezzle his wife's dowry! Absolutely not. Well, I heard that the house price in the east side is cheaper. Although the west is expensive and the East is rich, our family has a shallow foundation, so we don't have to pay too much attention to it. My cousin, the third grade senior member, has not been in Beicheng for so many years? If this place is not too far away from the yamen, I would like to buy a house here. "

The couple discussed and soon chose a set of Sanjin house near Xicheng. It turned out that it was also the house of an official family. It happened that the family planned to take a foreign job. After three or five years, they didn't plan to come back, so they planned to sell the house. Both of them were sincere, and they soon agreed on the price. Together with the large pieces of furniture, they made a total price of 4000 Liang.

Liangxiali soon completed the transfer contract. An was just about to find someone to clean up the new house, and Xu Changhui's ancestor worship holiday began. So an Shi had to apologize to you ran and said, "I should have moved out and returned to my hometown to worship my ancestors. Who knows that the Yamen has arranged this month to worship my ancestors."

Leisurely said with a smile, "what's the point? Since it is the arrangement of the yamen, we should obey it. In particular, cousin Xu is a newcomer, so it's not good because of these little things and ink marks. Now that the arrangements are made, the younger brothers and sisters just follow their cousins back. You can live here as long as you want. Don't be in a hurry

"My cousin is so reasonable. I really don't know what to say," she said

Leisurely said with a smile, "they are all relatives. If you say that again, it's a layman."

Different from Xu Changhui, Yang Che directly engaged in external affairs. As early as before the examination, he told his cousin and husband about his intention. After all, he is already over thirty years old, and it will be difficult for him to make great progress in his life if he starts his qualification from a small Imperial Academy. It's better to go to a place and have a fight. If you're lucky, you can't say what you can do! Unlike Xu Changhui, this is a real relative. Therefore, both Shen Ze and Enron contributed to his appointment. Although it is not a rich place in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, it is also a relatively stable Huizhou.

After he was appointed, Xu Changhui went to Huizhou to take up his post.

But Xiuyun and his wife stayed in the capital all the time, and they negotiated to buy a house in the capital, and then they would pick up the children. Even if the couple go back to the countryside later, they can get some change by renting the house here, which is better than putting it in their hands.

The Feng family is an ordinary farming and reading family, and Feng Quan is just a young son. They have a lot of money in their hands, so they can't be as extravagant as the Xu family. After seeing the two houses bought by Yulian, Xiuyun discussed with Feng Quan and bought a second house in Beicheng. Five or six hundred Liang is enough.

Moreover, it is close to Guozijian and Cultural Academy, so it's cheap to take imperial examinations in the future. After listening to their plans, leisurely feel that this cousin husband and wife both have music in their hearts. He nodded and said, "you and your brother-in-law have considered everything very well. There's nothing wrong. But, do your parents in law want you to buy a house in Beijing? "

Xiuyun said with a smile, "two years ago, my husband revealed this idea at home. Although my father-in-law was reluctant, they were destined to live with our elder brother-in-law's family. My cousin didn't know that my eldest brother was also a scholar since he was a child, but he was only a scholar after many years of examination. Now Xianggong has been married since he was young. The eldest brother and his wife are always jealous of Xianggong. My father-in-law also knew this in his heart. He was afraid that the two brothers would make a lot of trouble for the idea and property in the future, so he gave us the home early. "

Leisurely said, "it seems that the old man of the Feng family is still very thorough, unlike some old people who blindly" do not suffer from poverty but from inequality ". After all, they have read books, but they are different!"

Xiuyun nodded and said, "isn't it? My father often said that my father-in-law was a man of understanding. And my mother-in-law is also a reasonable person. I'm blessed. My father-in-law and mother-in-law are all sensible and open, but they save me a lot of trouble. "

When I think about it, I feel that my cousin is really a bit lucky. Although she is not rich, she has a smooth journey along the way. I can't help laughing and saying, "it seems that your life is better!"

After hearing this, Xiuyun disagreed. "Speaking of good fortune, who among our relatives can compare with cousin you?"
