Chapter 10 Covering up as before, whiteheads as new
"Convenient, convenient! Please come in!" Uncle Fu was very happy. He originally thought that he would have to stay here for a long time to deal with the old house alone, but he didn't expect that after listing it in the morning, someone would come to see the house in the afternoon.
After following Uncle Fu and looking around, Xiao Fan found that the place was really nice. It was a Jiangnan-style house, covering an area of about two acres, or more than 1,300 square meters. Xiao Fan was still impressed by this house.
I am quite satisfied. In addition to more than 20 rooms of various sizes, there is also a small garden with a rockery and a pond.
After taking Xiao Fan around, Uncle Fu asked, "Is Mr. Xiao still satisfied?"
"It looks pretty good, but I don't know how much it's worth?" Xiao Fan likes this house very much, especially the small garden. But he just doesn't know how much such a big house costs. Don't worry if you don't have enough money.
"It's not expensive, it's not expensive. Just one hundred guan is enough. If my family members weren't going to Tokyo, and they don't plan to go to Qiantang in the future, where could you buy such a nice house with 100 guan?"
said hurriedly.
Xiao Fan looked at Sun Sanniang after hearing this, and saw Sun Sanniang nodded slightly to him. He roughly knew that Uncle Fu was not lying, and the price should be quite affordable. So he said: "Uncle Fu, please wait a moment, I have a friend who will come over later.
, I’ll discuss it with her, what do you think?”
"It doesn't matter, you can just find me later," Uncle Fu said with a smile.
"Ms. Zhao, what's the price?" Xiao Fan asked Sun Sanniang after leaving the house.
"The price is already very low. Normally, it won't be a problem to sell this house for one hundred, twenty or thirty gold." Sun Sanniang said: "Let's wait until Pan'er comes. We just looked at the house for almost an hour. She
It should be coming soon."
Xiao Fan and Sun Sanniang waited for less than half an hour before Zhao Pan'er arrived. After seeing Xiao Fan, Zhao Pan'er asked: "How do you like the house? Are you satisfied?"
"Yes, I really like it. The seller is asking for one hundred guan." Xiao Fan said, "The master has only left an old servant to take care of the house."
"Old servant?" Zhao Pan'er thought for a while and said, "Is it Uncle Fu? I went in and looked at their house. One hundred guan is considered cheap, which is almost ten taels of gold. Let's go, let's go find Uncle Fu.
First go to Yahang to sign the sale and purchase deed, and then go to the county government office to transfer the ownership."
Under the leadership of Zhao Pan'er, Xiao Fan followed him all afternoon and finally settled the matter of buying a house.
After completing the transfer procedures at the county government office, Xiao Fan felt it was a bit unreal. In his previous life, he had to bear a mortgage loan for a house of several dozen square meters. In this life, he actually bought a large house of more than 1,300 square meters in full at once.
Standing in his own house, Xiao Fan couldn't help but sigh that he was lucky to have Zhao Pan'er's help, otherwise he really wouldn't know the secrets of running this yamen. As the saying goes, the king of hell is so difficult to deal with, if he doesn't know the secrets.
, I’m afraid today is not going so smoothly.
As for Uncle Fu, he simply gave the key to Xiao Fan as soon as the deed was signed, and went straight after his officials with his luggage.
After coming out of the county government office, Zhao Pan'er and Sun Sanniang took Xiao Fan to the market to help him buy things. They don't need much for the time being. It's enough to buy what Xiao Fan needs alone. The rest will wait for Xiao Fan to find his servants.
Then go purchase it yourself.
When the three of them returned to the house, they found that all the things they had bought had been delivered to their door, and they were waiting for Xiao Fan to come back to check. I have to say that money is really good no matter in ancient or modern times, at home and abroad.
After letting the shop assistants move everything in, Xiao Fan said to Zhao Pan'er and Sun Sanniang: "Ms. Zhao, Miss Sun, thanks to your help today, I was able to handle this matter so smoothly. What do you think? I will do this tonight.
Invite you two and your family to have a dinner at the Qingyuan House you just passed by, just to celebrate my move to a new house!"
Zhao Pan'er and Sun Sanniang looked at each other and agreed. Zhao Pan'er was alone, so the three of them went to Sun Sanniang's house to pick up his family and go to Qingyuan Building. Sun Sanniang's family was made up of three people. Her husband's name was Fu Xingui, and her son's name was Fu Zifang.
In the private room on the second floor of Qingyuan Building, Xiao Fan, Zhao Pan'er and Sun Sanniang's family sat together around the table. After talking along the way, Fu Xingui and Fu Zifang also knew that Mr. Xiao in front of them was rescued from the water by Zhao Pan'er and Sun Sanniang.
, and after buying a big house in Qingyi Lane, he became his neighbor.
After the food and wine were served, Xiao Fan raised the tea cup in front of him and said to everyone: "I have an injury on my body and it is not suitable to drink. I will toast you all with tea instead of wine. Today's dinner is a celebration.
We are all neighbors from now on. If there is anyone who can use Xiao, please feel free to ask. Secondly, I would like to thank Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Sun for their life-saving grace and their care during the past two days! Please!"
"Master Xiao, you are so polite!" Everyone raised their glasses together, and even Fu Zifang, a nine-year-old kid, picked up a tea cup and imitated an adult and responded to Xiao Fan.
"Hahaha!" Everyone was amused by the appearance of little Master Fu Zifang.
"Master Xiao has now bought a house and his household registration is in Qiantang. What are your plans for the future?" Zhao Pan'er asked.
"Well, I think the top priority is to find a way to make a living. After all, we can't just sit back and rest, right?" Xiao Fan said, "I just don't know what Madam Zhao has to say?"
"I can't say I have high opinions. Mr. Xiao is a capable person, but why are you afraid of not finding a living? With Mr. Xiao's talent and learning, it's really not that good. It's easy to become a master in the academy, isn't it?" Zhao Pan'er said to Xiao Fan.
Full of confidence.
"Haha, that's true. Today is my housewarming. Let's eat and drink well!"
The meal lasted for more than half an hour and did not end until three quarters past three o'clock.
Everyone returned to Qingyi Lane together. Sun Sanniang and Fu Xingui went back first, hugging Fu Zifang who was tired from playing. Zhao Pan'er had received a signal from Xiao Fan before, and although she didn't know what Xiao Fan wanted to do alone with her, she still stayed.
"Do you have anything else?" Zhao Pan'er asked curiously.
"I still want to say thank you. You have helped me a lot these past two days. Not only did you save my life, you also helped me a lot with buying a house today, not to mention you have been taking care of me these past two days.
I really don’t know how to repay you."
"Just to say this? I already said that I don't need you to repay me with anything," Zhao Pan'er said with a smile: "Is it possible that we really promised each other the way you said in the novel and picture book?"
After Zhao Pan'er finished speaking, she saw Xiao Fan looking at her blankly without speaking, and she was also stunned.
In order to ease the awkward atmosphere, Zhao Paner pretended to be drunk and said, "I drank too much just now, and I lost my temper for a moment!"
In order to resolve Zhao Paner's embarrassment, Xiao Fan pretended not to care and said: "Hey! It's just a joke between friends, don't worry!"
"Friend?" Zhao Pan'er looked at Xiao Fan and murmured.
"Well! Aren't we?" Xiao Fan looked at Zhao Pan'er's eyes that were still shining under the dim light, stepped forward and stretched out his right palm to Zhao Pan'er and said: "It's the same as before!"
Zhao Pan'er looked at Xiao Fan who came forward and was stunned. First she lowered her eyebrows and glanced at Xiao Fan's outstretched right palm, and then looked at Xiao Fan's eyes full of expectation.
Zhao Pan'er smiled happily when she heard Xiao Fan's words, but then disappeared instantly as if she thought of something.
Finally, Zhao Pan'er stepped forward and gently patted Xiao Fan's palm off with her right hand, smiled and said, "The hair is as old as new!"
Then Zhao Paner turned his back to Xiao Fan and left slowly without looking back.
