Traveling to ancient times with a sign-in system

Chapter 71 Dare to make trouble? Destroy Feng first!

The chief clerk was an old man with white hair, tall and thin. He was wearing an old gray official uniform, which was empty and looked like a human clothes rack, which was a bit scary.

Mr. Zhao seemed to be acquainted with the chief clerk. They exchanged a few pleasantries with a smile, and then Mr. Gu secretly handed over a purse.

The clerk collected and hid it neatly, then began to process the red deed and the transfer deed for them.

The so-called red deed is actually the red official seal stamped by the government on the signed deed.

The deed was made in triplicate, one copy was kept by Mr. Zhao, one copy was kept by Gu Tang, and the other copy was kept as a deposit with the government.

After stamping the official seal, the next step is to replace the house deed.

The original deed had Mr. Zhao's name on it. Now the original deed had to be destroyed, and the government office would write a new deed, write Gu Tang's name on it, and finally stamp it with the official seal.

In this way, the transaction of buying and selling the yard was completed.

Afterwards, Gu Tang handed the silver note for two hundred taels of silver to Mr. Zhao.

After Mr. Zhao verified the authenticity of the banknotes, Gu Tang secretly pulled her father's clothes and urged him to leave quickly.

Gu Lianshan didn't know what was wrong with his daughter, but he still followed her wishes. He used the excuse that he had urgent matters to attend to at home and hurried out of the yamen.

After leaving the yamen, Gu Tang asked Manager Qian to take them to the courtyard.

Shopkeeper Qian, who had just finished a business deal, was in high spirits. Without saying a word, he drove his donkey cart to take them there.

After arriving at the place, Manager Qian handed a bunch of keys to Gu Lianshan.

"The keys to the main gate, small gate, and all the rooms in the yard are all here. Keep them carefully and don't lose them."

Gu Lianshan took the key with a happy face, and wanted to ask the shopkeeper Qian to stay for a cup of hot tea before leaving.

But Shopkeeper Qian was in a hurry to get his commission, so he had no time to have tea. After a few excuses, he drove away in his donkey cart.

After everyone left, Gu Lianshan slapped his forehead and said in an annoyed tone, "I'm dizzy! There's nothing in this yard. How can I invite people to have tea?"

"If you want to invite Manager Qian for tea, there will be plenty of time in the future. There is no need to rush now." Gu Tang took the keys from her father's hand and flipped through them one by one, wondering which one was the key to the front door.

"Dad, Shopkeeper Qian left in such a hurry that he didn't tell us which doors these keys belong to."

Gu Tang inserted the keys into the keyhole on the iron lock of the gate one by one, trying to find the key on the gate.

"It's okay, it's okay. Let's try it slowly. This yard is already ours anyway!" Gu Lianshan's face flushed, and he patted the thick brick wall, feeling very excited.

Buying a yard is to build a family business, which means that what my daughter said should not be made public. If we follow the clan rules, we must invite relatives and friends to gather in the new house.

"Dad..." Gu Ping'an touched the brick wall carefully and asked expectantly, "Are we going to live here in the future?"

Gu Lianshan rolled his eyes at his son and said, "You're just daydreaming. If we move here, your grandma will show up in three days and hang herself at the gate to force your sister to hand over the yard!"

Gu Ping'an's face turned pale and he waved his hands repeatedly: "It's better not to move in! I must keep it a secret from grandma!"

"We have to keep it a secret for now, but this yard can't be left empty forever. People still need to live there. As for you, don't worry. I have a way to deal with you."

Gu Tang pulled the corner of his mouth, with a cold look in his eyes.

She's just an old lady who rarely even goes out. Her age is there, and she has bound feet. If she gets bumped into something, breaking her arms or legs wouldn't be a common occurrence, right?
In the previous life, some of the old ladies on the Internet broke their spines, while others damaged their brains. The former was paralyzed in bed for the rest of her life, while the latter became mentally retarded for the rest of her life.

There are plenty of ways to make someone appear out of the way. Can she just wait for Feng to come here and make trouble?
As long as the matter in the courtyard is exposed, she will destroy Feng first!

Gu Tang snorted softly and finally tried to open the door. She kept the key to the door separately to prevent it from getting mixed up again.

As soon as the gate opened, the father and son who were touching the wall over there rushed in instantly.

Gu Tang was the last one to come in. He slowly closed the door and bolted it.

This courtyard looked very much like the quadrangle courtyard she had seen in her previous life. It faced north and south, with the gate on the east side.

Entering from the gate, there is a screen wall. After passing the screen wall, there is a courtyard and five back rooms behind it.

At present, these five back houses have been converted into shops, with doors in the front and back, so people can enter and exit the courtyard through the shops.

There is a second gate in the middle of the first courtyard, which is the gate leading to the second courtyard.

Gu Lianshan and his son Gu Ping'an were lying on the second door at this time, looking inside through the crack.

Unfortunately, there is also a screen wall behind the second gate, so nothing can be seen.

"You run so fast. If I don't open the door, why don't you come in?" Gu Tang rolled his eyes, pushed the father and son away, picked up the key and continued to try one by one.

After trying two or three times, I finally opened the lock on the second door.

The father and son were not in a hurry this time. Except for the bare yard in the second courtyard, all the other houses were locked. They could not get in even if they wanted to see. They could only wait for Gu Tang to take the key and try each room one by one.

The father and son followed her, and every time they opened a room, they found something to temporarily mark the key.

After a while, I went to the garment store to buy some scraps of cloth, picked out the scraps of cloth of different colors and twisted them into ropes.

Tie a piece of cloth to each key in different colors so that you won’t get them mixed up later.

After opening all the houses in the second and third courtyards, Gu Tang called the father and son and asked them to check the furniture in each house to see if there was anything damaged or dirty.

As for herself, she went to the shop in front to check.

It was only after she entered the shop that she realized something was wrong.

Although there are five shops, in fact only the south walls of the three middle ones have been converted into doors, and the interiors of these three shops have been opened up to form a large open room.

As for the two rooms on the left and right, the south walls were not demolished, and the doors were still on the north wall, which was no different from ordinary back houses.

Gu Tang walked around and thought this layout was okay. The two rooms on the left and right were used as warehouses, and the three rooms in the middle were perfect for opening a shop selling incense!
There's nothing in here, it's empty.

Apart from anything else, at least it needs some simple renovation, and her father will have to find someone to do it.

Her father knew some carpenters and bricklayers, but they were not masters, just apprentices. She didn't have high requirements, so an apprentice would be fine, as long as they could do the job simply and look presentable.

Of course, there is no rush for these, just take your time.

After locking the shop again, Gu Tang returned to the second courtyard to see how her father and Gu Ping'an had fared.

The father and son worked hard and didn't see any damaged items.

Gu Lianshan was deeply moved. "Mr. Zhao is a very honest man. Everything in this house is new and good. I calculated that it would cost at least 40 or 50 taels of silver!"

Gu Tang glared: "He is honest, so we should be honest too! If other people knew that he was waiting for money, they would definitely take the opportunity to lower the price!

This yard hasn't had anyone interested in it for half a month. Mr. Zhao can't wait that long. In another three to five days, he'll definitely lower the price!"
