Traveling back to ancient times begins with the use of stone tools
Chapter 13 Buying a Yard
"The scholar is still living at home. If I can make a move, I will go to the capital in the next few days."
Leng Ruoxue said nothing.
At the moment, it seems that this yard is the only one I can afford.
"The shop was previously rented to a bookstore, which sold books, paper, ink, pens, and inkstones. Later, the bookstore felt that business was not good, so it gave up the lease and it has never been rented out."
"It's close to the school, and it also sells paper and ink, so how can its business be bad?"
Leng Ruoxue was puzzled.
"A bigger bookstore opened on North Street. The business that was once doing well is no longer doing well. So this small bookstore that has been running for a few years can no longer operate. The big store has a wider variety of products and the prices are cheaper than the small store. People in the school would rather walk a little further to buy things in the big bookstore."
The guy gave a detailed introduction to the yard.
Got to the place quickly.
The guy greeted the owner with a smile and took Leng Ruoxue on a tour.
The shop and the main entrance face the school. The shop is about 20 square meters, with a two-story courtyard at the back.
There are two wing rooms on the east side of the front yard and a courtyard on the west side.
In the middle of the backyard are the main hall and two side rooms, to the west are the kitchen and utility room, and to the east are three wing rooms.
There are two peach trees planted in the yard, which are already in bloom, and two pear trees are also growing well.
There is also a well in the northwest.
"Many wells in the county have dried up. Although the well in my home doesn't have much water, it has never dried up."
The owner of the house was an old man who was very proud of his well. Many people in the county had no drinking water and had to buy water, but he used his own water sparingly and got through the drought year safely.
Leng Ruoxue looked at the furniture. Although it was not very new, she could see that the wood and workmanship were of good quality.
There are three rooms. The elderly couple lives in one, the young couple with their children lives in one, and the other is used as a guest room.
The bed, table and everything else are very complete.
A pair of old servants also lived in the ear room.
“Although this yard and shop are a little small, I like the layout very much.”
Leng Ruoxue sincerely felt that one hundred taels was not expensive.
"Yes, it was handed down from our ancestors. If our child wasn't going to study in the capital, we wouldn't be willing to sell it."
The old man was very happy to hear that Leng Ruoxue liked it.
When other people come to see my house, they always find fault with it here and there. It makes me upset when they mention my own yard.
"But my family doesn't have that much budget, and I didn't intend to buy such a big yard."
Leng Ruoxue continued.
"Understand, understand"
The old man also knew that this was not a good time to sell the house. The clerk just said that the young master's family wanted a yard with three rooms, and judging from the young master's clothes, he did not look very rich.
"If you and the brokerage firm can afford the transfer tax, I can transfer the property to you now."
The old man and the clerk from the dental shop looked at each other.
"Young Master, can you decide such a big thing by yourself?"
The transfer tax is 10% of the house transaction amount.
Leng Ruoxue didn't want to bargain at first, but she only had a little over 110 taels of silver on her, and she couldn't use it all to buy the house, she had to keep some.
"Well, my family originally wanted to find a house near the market, but your house is also suitable. My brother and I are both going to school."
"The price of this yard is right, and I like it very much. If I miss it, I'm afraid I won't be able to find such a good yard in the future."
Leng Ruoxue did not hide her love for this house.
"Haha, I was thinking that if I couldn't sell it, I could just keep it and sell it later. Since the young master likes it so much, how about we give each of us 5 taels?"
The guy hesitated for a moment. He didn't want to sell the house anymore. If he regretted it, he wouldn't get a penny.
If you give up 5 taels, you can still earn 5 taels.
"Okay, shall we do it now?"
The guy felt that it had to be done immediately, otherwise the business would be lost.
"I have no problem, but the young master needs to give us two days to clean up."
The old man looked at Leng Ruoxue and spoke.
"Okay, my family isn't in a hurry anyway. When you're done, just give the key to the guy and I'll go to the dental office to get it in a few days."
The old man took the property deed, got into the brokerage's carriage, and went straight to the county government office.
The school is not far from the county government office, and it only takes about ten minutes by horse carriage to get there.
The guy is very familiar with the people working in the county government.
"Xiao Zhu, that's great. You can get business at this time."
The people from the county government greeted the pawnbrokers warmly.
"It's because Mr. Leng and Mr. Liu are both straightforward people that we were able to do this deal. Our dental office also gave us a profit. Business is not easy right now!"
Employee Xiao Zhu sighed. It took him several months to complete this house transaction.
Leng Ruoxue took out several silver notes, some of ten and twenty taels, counted out a hundred taels, and signed her name on the house deed.
The deal was completed.
Fortunately, I exchanged the silver and copper coins into silver notes before I came here. I have to exchange them again in the future, otherwise these one hundred taels of copper coins would take several baskets.
After completing the house deed, I sent the old man back home first.
The waiter sent Leng Ruoxue to the market again.
"Brother Zhu, you are very familiar with the county government!"
Leng Ruoxue suddenly thought that since she had a house, her family’s household registration didn’t necessarily have to be in Lengjia Village.
"For people in our line of work, if we don't get to know the people in the county government, it will be inconvenient to do things and customers will run away!"
Xiao Zhu replied with a smile.
"What should I do if I want to register my household registration in the county?"
"Mr. Leng, what is this..."
Xiao Zhu thought that Leng Ruoxue wanted to apply for household registration.
There are many things to pay attention to here.
If your identity is inconvenient, getting a household registration will cost you a lot.
This is a risky thing, and this Leng Gongzi doesn't seem like a bad guy.
Xiao Zhu looked back at Leng Ruoxue deeply.
"We have our household registration in the village. We are thinking that when we go to the county to study in the future, we can get things done directly with our household registration in the county, without having to go to the village, which is more convenient."
"Oh, that's how it is"
Xiao Zhu breathed a sigh of relief, scared to death.
"I thought that Master Leng used a fake name on the property deed. Although the transfer of ownership only looks at the household registration of the household owner and does not require the household registration of the buyer, if you want to sell the house in the future, it will be difficult if you can't produce the original name."
"All the villagers have fled to escape the famine, and the village chief hasn't come back yet. Let me ask first."
"If you're not in a hurry, just wait for the village chief to come back and ask him to help you. It's a simple thing."
Xiao Zhu thought that Master Leng acted like an adult, but it was strange that he didn't know such a simple thing.
"My mother was divorced because my stepfather's family fled famine and didn't want to take my brother and me with them. My brother and I were registered as residents with our grandparents, and now my mother has nowhere to go, so my brother and I are thinking of creating a separate household registration with her."
Xiao Zhu: This is a lot of information, I need to sort it out carefully.
