Chapter 55 Buying a House
Lu Chenshuang brought Xiaoman and followed Yang Chengzu to the three-story courtyard on East Street.
The entire capital city is divided into four main streets, namely east, south, west and north.
West Street was mainly home to officials’ residences, such as the Jingyang Marquis’ Mansion, which was located on West Street.
East Street is a wealthy area, and some businessmen or people who have just entered the court and hold low-ranking officials basically live here.
Although the houses here are not as luxurious as those on West Street, they are not bad overall.
The streets are clean and tidy, and the roads are wide.
Lu Chenshuang is still very satisfied with the overall environment here.
While Yang Chengzu introduced the situation here to Lu Chenshuang, he took her to the house.
When they came to a vermilion gate, Yang Chengzu stopped, took out the key and opened the gate.
What caught Lu Chenshuang's eyes was a screen wall with a landscape pattern, commonly known as a background wall.
The ancients were very particular about building houses.
This screen wall symbolizes that foul air cannot enter and good fortune cannot leave.
Most wealthy families have it.
The front courtyard is the flower hall, dining room and servants' side rooms.
The second courtyard is where the guest rooms are located, as well as some landscape facilities, including bridges, flowing water, and corridors.
The third courtyard is the master bedroom, with four or five rooms side by side, and the one in the middle is particularly large.
The furniture inside was fully available and all were 90% new. Although Lu Chenshuang couldn't tell what materials they were made of, she could tell that these things were made of very fine materials.
This really achieves the effect of just moving in with just your luggage.
However, some things can be used as old ones, but some things must be replaced with new ones, such as beds and teapots.
After taking a walk around the house, Lu Chenshuang was still very satisfied.
So Lu Chenshuang asked directly: "How much is this house? I'll buy it."
Hearing this, Yang Chengzu smiled and said, "Master, if you like it, I will buy it and give it to you. It will be considered as my apprenticeship gift."
Lu Chenshuang: . . . . .
Wow, this apprenticeship gift is really heavy. If that's the case, why not just take in a few more apprentices to support her in her old age?
But Lu Chenshuang immediately put this idea aside. How could a young man like her have such a decadent thought?
So he smiled and said to Yang Chengzu: "I can still afford a house. If you really buy it for me, I won't want it. Let's go look somewhere else."
Upon hearing this, Yang Chengzu quickly dissuaded him, saying, "If Master doesn't want me to, I won't send him off. This house belongs to an old friend of mine. He is going back to his hometown to retire, so he entrusted the house to me.
If Master wants it, nine thousand taels of silver will be enough.
Before he left, he had already written a letter of authorization to me, giving me full authority to handle the house on his behalf."
To be fair, nine thousand taels is not a lot for a house in this location.
And it is impossible for Yang Chengzu to cheat her.
Lu Chenshuang immediately decided to buy it.
Nine thousand taels of silver was nothing to Lu Chenshuang. After all, she had just won thirty thousand taels of silver from Princess Zhuoyang some time ago.
Lu Chenshuang immediately took out nine thousand taels of silver from the medical laboratory and handed it to Yang Chengzu.
Yang Chengzu secretly sighed in his heart that his master was worthy of being his master. Look at him, he carried so much silver every time he went out, and he easily took out nine thousand taels.
After Yang Chengzu took the banknote, he said to Lu Chenshuang: "Master, if you are free today, let's go to the government office to handle the transfer.
It just so happens that I have the red deed of my old friend here."
Upon hearing this, Lu Chenshuang naturally agreed.
She has paid the money, so naturally the house has to be transferred to her name.
Thinking of this, Lu Chenshuang felt happy.
I really didn't expect that she had bought a house less than three months after coming here, and she didn't even have to pay a mortgage.
Lu Chenshuang followed Yang Chengzu to the Jingzhao Prefecture government office, where the office's legal advisor handled the transfer for them.
The original owner of the house was surnamed Zhou. Since there was already a document in the government authorizing Yang Chengzu to buy and sell the house, the lawyer took a look and directly processed the transfer for them.
Soon Lu Chenshuang got the house deed and left the Jingzhao government office with Yang Chengzu.
The two met Liang Youzhi who was returning from official duties at the gate of the yamen.
Liang Youzhi hurried forward to greet Lu Chenshuang and the others, and then bowed deeply to Lu Chenshuang.
Seeing this, Lu Chenshuang smiled and said, "Captain Liang, you don't have to be so polite every time."
Liang Youzhi smiled and said, "This is a thank you gift. My mother has obviously gotten much better after taking the medicine you prescribed. I believe she will be fully recovered in no time."
As a doctor, nothing makes one happiest than hearing such news, and Lu Chenshuang is no exception.
So he smiled and said, "That's really a cause for celebration. When I have some free time, I will go and take your pulse in person, and then I can change the prescription appropriately."
Liang Youzhi was naturally happy to hear this, and thanked Lu Chenshuang again and again.
Upon hearing this, Yang Chengzu hurriedly said, "Master, if you want to check Madam Liang's pulse, remember to take me with you.
I just want to learn from Master."
Usually Lu Chenshuang was trapped in Jingyanghou Mansion, and she couldn't get in even if he wanted to ask her questions.
It is a rare opportunity to see Lu Chenshuang seeing patients in person, so Yang Chengzu cherishes this opportunity very much.
Yang Chengzu had just helped her so much, so Lu Chenshuang naturally would not refuse.
So she agreed on a consultation date with Liang Youzhi, and Liang Youzhi also told Lu Chenshuang his home address.
All that needed to be done had been done. Lu Chenshuang took Xiaoman to Tianxiang Tower again and bought the roast duck she had been craving for. Then the two returned to Jingyang Marquis Mansion.
Xiao Man held the spoiled roast duck like a treasure and complained, "The roast duck at Tian Xiang Lou is really expensive.
It actually costs five taels of silver for one, which is equivalent to my monthly salary for three months.
It was such a pity about the roast duck last time. I accidentally dropped it on the ground. It was all because of that naughty little bitch Hongyu.
That's five taels of silver. Just thinking about it makes me feel painful."
Seeing Xiaoman was still grumbling, Lu Chenshuang teased her, "You better hold it carefully this time. If you drop it on the ground again, it will be another five taels of silver.
Girl, I just spent nine thousand taels of silver to buy a house, but I don’t have any money left to buy you a roast duck.”
Upon hearing this, Xiaoman quickly hugged the roast duck again and said, "Girl, don't worry.
This time, even if the sky is struck by lightning, I will not drop this roast duck on the ground again."
Lu Chenshuang: . . . . .
I don't know where this girl learned all these messed up idioms from.
That evening, roast duck was added to the dinner at Lishuangyuan.
I have to say that the roast duck bought with five taels of silver is much more delicious than the overnight dish bought with the money allocated by the lady.
Even Lu Chenshuang's mouth was full of oil while eating.
Just when the three of them were enjoying their meal, an uninvited guest came to Lishuang Garden. Lu Chenshuang was quite surprised when she saw the visitor.
