Chapter 241 Old Acquaintance
Yunguan hasn't come to Bailing Caotang for a long time. As soon as he entered the house, he saw Zheng Qingsong very busy, "Brother Qingsong, what are you busy with this early morning?"
"Why did Your Highness come here? I'm not welcome." Zheng Qingsong sorted out the newly imported medicinal materials. He moved all the purchases in by himself. Some of the medicinal materials were too fresh and he had to dry them by himself.
"If you don't have enough manpower? Let Xiao Yi come back to help you. I have enough people there." Yunguan didn't expect that Zheng Qingsong had gotten rid of his idleness and now he is doing things so down-to-earth, which really makes her look at him with admiration.
"Well, that's fine. Princess Xie understands. My newly hired friend will come to the store in two days." Zheng Qingsong understood that Xiao Yi would definitely not enjoy the happiness of the royal palace with him. "Just ask Xiao Yi to help me. I will return him to you in the past two days."
"How is the matter I asked you to inquire?" Yunguan was very anxious. After talking to Zheng Qingsong last time, she had no choice but to come and ask in person.
"The Chen family used to pay off the debt is no longer possible. It is said that if they cannot pay the silver, they will directly pay the house to the creditor. If they sell it to outsiders and pay it back, there will be some remaining money. Now they will lose a lot. The old house is handed over to someone, and there will be no money left."
Zheng Qingsong was very regretful for Mr. Chen. He looked at his handsome talent but was addicted to gambling and lost all his family’s wealth. Anyone who is addicted to gambling has no good results, and it would be fine if his family’s wealth was lost. If he repeatedly endangered his or his family’s lives, he would be really tied up.
"Is the Chen Mansion the one with a particularly large front yard?" Yunwan couldn't remember which house Zheng Qingsong was talking about. Anyway, she had seen it at the mansion.
"No, the one with the largest front yard is the Yang Mansion. The family has moved out of the imperial capital long ago. The house is very spacious, but it's a pity that I have been idle for many years. Did the princess have a fancy to that house?" Zheng Qingsong had a good impression of the Yang Mansion. Perhaps it was because he had a good relationship with Mr. Yang. He learned a lot of medicine from the Yang Family Pharmacy.
"Have you asked me recently? Are there any other houses sold?" Yunguan asked. In order to make a three-day appointment, she must find a new place to settle down quickly.
"Princess, the land in the imperial capital is very tight now. Those who want the mansion to be spacious are usually old houses. Later, the newly built except for the high-ranking officials and nobles were all small courtyards. There are too many people from other places who come to the imperial capital. Even if they have to move from the imperial capital to the outside world, they may move back to the imperial capital one day. Therefore, few people will easily sell the mansion. There are very few people like the Yang family."
In fact, Zheng Qingsong has been spending the store business these two days and forgot to inquire about this matter for Yunguan, but as far as he knows, even if he inquires, it may not be possible.
"Then why hasn't this Yang family's house been sold? It's not that there is something wrong with the house, right?" Yunguan was very worried. She didn't want to live in peace, especially for the sake of Youchen's health, she would never buy a dark place.
"The Yang family didn't want to sell the house before. It's a coincidence that I have an old acquaintance with the young master of the Yang family. The spray medicine I used for you is the ancestral plaster of the Yang family. They moved their family to the northwest for seven or eight years. Last year, the harvest was not good due to the drought, and the prices of medicinal materials naturally rose. At the end of the year, in order to prepare for new goods, I had to arrange the sale of the house, but I never met a suitable buyer."
Zheng Qingsong was sent to the Yang family by his father as an apprentice for half a year. Although his skills were not very exquisite, he had formed a deep friendship with the young master of the Yang family.
"I feel more at ease when I say so. Can I discuss the price again?" It was a little difficult to get Yunguan to take out ten thousand taels of silver at once.
"Mr. Yang is willing to entrust me to do this. If I hadn't had my previous inflicted medicine with Mr. Yang, he wouldn't have asked me to ask for help inquire about the buyer. We are all friends, and I would have paid the princess a 8,888 taels of money. It's a lucky one. No cent is less. This is the best price I will give you for Mr. Yang. If it's someone else, I have to help Yang's house raise the price."
Zheng Qingsong said generously that he could make less money from it, just to strive to promote this transaction, merchants will make profits, and mutual benefit can win-win results are naturally good.
"Well, so if you have time, please accompany me again. This is very urgent. I plan to move there in the next two days." Yunguan still wanted to go to the mansion to see it again. When he was in a hurry, he met Murong Jingyu when he came out, which made it very unpleasant.
"Okay, let's go and have a look now. The price is easy to talk about. The princess really wants to move it in first. I will discuss with the Yang family whether it can be paid in batches. They are mainly anxious to turn over, so I can pay a part of it for you first." Zheng Qingsong can sell it at both ends, so why not do it?
"If you have Brother Zheng, I'll be relieved. Let's go and go with me to see." Yunguan asked Xueqing to stay and see the shop. She followed Zheng Qingsong to the Yang Mansion. She must decide on this matter as soon as possible.
"Princess, look at the location of this mansion. It is located in a prosperous but quiet and elegant manner. It is surrounded by people with status. The backyard of this mansion is close to the Huanyi Mansion, not far from the Murong Mansion and Shuoyi Mansion." Zheng Qingsong strongly praised the advantages of the mansion, as if he was a seller himself. Zheng Qingsong had also considered leaving this mansion, but he was not going to live in the imperial capital forever, so he gave up this idea.
"Well, I've seen it once according to the news you said." What Yunguan dislikes the most is that this house is next to Prince Huanyi's mansion. If someone knows it, she is afraid that it will cause trouble again. She doesn't want any rumors about flattering Prince Huanyi.
"Uncle Lu, let's take a look at the house." Zheng Qingsong was kind.
"Someone wants to buy it again? Alas." The old man sighed helplessly.
"Uncle, don't you want this house to be bought?" Yunguan was very confused.
"Girl, have you seen it once before?" Uncle Lu was at least 70 years old, but he didn't expect that his memory was quite good.
"Well, I did come." Yunguan nodded.
"Look, I'll move away if I like it." Uncle Lu is an old servant in the mansion. After the Yang family moved out, he kept guarding the mansion for his master. He always hoped that the Yang family would move back again. He took good care of everything in the mansion, but he didn't expect that he would have to face the fact that the mansion changed its owner in the end.
"Uncle Lu, can you move out in the next two days? Our lady is anxious to live." Zheng Qingsong saw that Yunguan was quite satisfied with the house and wanted to strike while the iron was hot and make the transaction.
"Turn me like this? Do you really want me to sleep on the streets, right?" Old Man Lu immediately said to him coldly. He was once the housekeeper of the Yang Mansion, and his subordinates had dozens of servants in charge of him. No young man dared to be domineering with him. It was just that he was old this year and his master's family had fallen into decline, which made him so miserable in his later years.
