poor family prodigal

Wang Yuan became the hands-off shopkeeper.

With Hu Mengying here, there is no need for him to ask for such trivial matters as renting a house.

Rent a big house, mainly make soap and sugar, and try to see if you can open up a market for homeless people.

Wang Sihai concentrated on studying and trying to figure out Hu Mengying's experience in dealing with people.

If you want a big house, you must have a commission. Yu Wanxing said happily: "Miss, I have three houses in Yaxing, all in the south of the city. One is Weijia Villa, covering an area of ​​ten acres. The monthly rent is [-] yuan, and the minimum rent is one year. A house owned by a foreign businessman covers an area of ​​[-] acres, and the monthly rent is [-] guan, with a minimum rent of one year; the largest house covers an area of ​​[-] acres, is also owned by a foreign businessman, and the rent is [-] guan. It is decorated by wealthy people and moved. You can live in it as soon as you move in! The commission is only one month’s rent.”

Hu Mengying said casually: "What's the minimum monthly rent for the Wei Family Courtyard?"

"Fifty sticks!"

Yu Wanxing spoke in a high-pitched tone: "The county magistrate of the Wei family, the family is not short of money, so I rented out the house just to support my popularity. This big house used to rent for one hundred guan a month!"

"You said it before!"

Hu Mengying hummed: "Since Jiushan County has been reduced to a border city, most of the county officials have moved to the prefectural city for safety. There are not even [-] empty mansions, but [-]. For a ten-acre house, the empty house has to pay [-] yuan a year. In terms of property tax, there are eight if not ten houses like the Wei family. They may not be short of money, but they are not willing to lose money every year to support a house like this."

Wang Yuan clicked his tongue when he heard this. He really didn't know the twists and turns here!

When he met someone knowledgeable, Yu Wanxing said with a sneer: "Young lady is well-informed, and I can't hide anything from you. In this case, I'll quote Wei's lowest price, forty-five dollars a month. No matter how little it is, I really can't rent it." !”

The base price of the Wei family is thirty-five yuan. The higher the rent, the more commission he will receive, and he can also get rewards from the Wei family.

“We won’t rent if there are too many!”

Hu Mengying immediately turned around: "Sir, let's go to another dental shop!"

Wang Yuan nodded and turned around: This Yaman is very smart and will not give the lowest price at once!

Wang Sihai reacted and made an appropriate correction: "Yes, if you go to other dental shops, there will definitely be cheaper ones. There are so many big houses that cannot be rented out!"

The three of them turned around and left!

"Sir, miss, don't leave. We can discuss the rent again!"

Yu Wanxing was anxious and stopped him quickly: "Do you think this will work? I'll talk to the Wei family and we should be able to reduce it to forty dollars a month."

Hu Mengying kept walking: "You said [-] guan, but in fact there is also a housing tax. The government stipulates that the owner and the tenant will be divided in half, and we have to pay [-] guan every month. If you can negotiate the housing tax, we can consider!"

"I'll give you a five-string penalty!"

Yaren Yu Wanxing looked like he wanted to cry: "Miss, you are so beautiful, why are you bargaining so hard? The Wei family will definitely not agree to the price of [-] guan a month. Their base price is [-] guan, and the house tax is Official regulations.”

Deduct another five guan, and it will be [-] guan, which is the low price of the Wei family!

Apart from earning some commission, he was working in vain!

Hu Mengying raised her eyebrows: "Then it depends on you. Now you want to make this deal happen, and we can change to another dental shop at any time!"

Yu Wanxing gritted his teeth: "Okay, for thirty-five months, I will go talk to the Wei family!"

Earn a little commission if you can, because the world is getting worse and worse anyway!

Hu Mengying's face was expressionless: "What's the rush? The commission hasn't been negotiated yet! Don't you think it's too much to earn thirty-five dollars for just running an errand?"

"Miss!"

This is an attack on his commission. Yu Wanxing looked ugly: "One month's rent is the commission. This is the rule of Yahang in renting a house! Besides, most of the commission has to be handed over to Yahang, and I can only get a small part!"

"Do you know how much a servant, a housekeeper, a yamen patrolman, or an arrester in a wealthy household cost per month?"

Hu Mengying changed the subject: "I'll give you ten strings at most. If you don't accept it, forget it!"

"……it is good!"

After a moment of silence, Yu Wanxing gritted his teeth and said, "Miss, I accept your offer. Thirty-five guan a month. I will charge you [-] guan as commission. I will go to the Wei family to talk."

Ten strings are ten strings. No matter how small a mosquito’s legs are, they are still meat. Now it is getting harder and harder to open a business!

Hu Mengying turned around: "I want to see the house first!"

Yu Wanxing was shocked when he heard this: "Miss, are you still bargaining?"

"how could be?"

Hu Mengying raised her pretty face with a playful expression: "Am I that kind of person?"

"no!"

Yu Wanxing quickly apologized and added: "You are more ruthless than that kind of person!"

Wang Yuan watched from beginning to end without saying a word, it was all up to Hu Mengying to make the decision!

Hu Mengying bargaining made him feel strange!

When we first met, she offered a thousand guan to buy soap, and on the first day, she offered a thousand guan to let the bandits send the injured and injured guards home. They were all calm, calm and generous, without any fuss!

He seems to be a different person now!

A group of people came to the Wei Family Courtyard!

The ten-acre courtyard has three entrances and three exits, and only an old servant is looking after it.

At the end of autumn, everything is dying, yellow leaves are rustling down, and fallen leaves are everywhere in the yard.

Wang Yuan glanced at it and saw that the courtyard looked like an antique building from later generations.

Dahu, Guo Liang, and Wang Sihai were stunned.

They have never seen a place where people live can be built so beautifully!

Hu Mengying's eyes were full of disgust: "Eight pillars in the yard are cracked and need to be repaired. It will cost at least twelve guan, and the rent will be reduced by one guan for one month!"

Yu Wanxing's eyes were filled with tears: "Miss, didn't you say you won't reduce it?"

"You also said that people can live in this courtyard when they come here. I didn't expect it to be so dilapidated!"

Hu Mengying pointed at her feet: "There are also floor tiles like this. I counted them as I walked along and found that there were seventy-eight of them broken. To purchase the stone and labor, it would cost more than ten dollars to replace them all, and the rent would be reduced by a pound!"

Yu Wanxing shook his head with a sad face: "Miss, you have been reduced to thirty-three. I really can't go to the Wei family to talk!"

Hu Mengying pointed to the small pond in the courtyard and said: "Our young master is destined to be in a furnace and avoid water. You can either ask the Wei family to fill this small pond, or if you pay less than the usual rent, we will fill it in ourselves!"

Wang Yuan pursed his lips and suppressed a smile: When did he become the most important person in the furnace?

Ya Renyu waved his hand: "Miss, thirty-two dollars, there is really no way to talk about it!"

Hu Mengying waved her hand: "If we don't talk, you've been busy for a long time. If we talk, you can still earn some commission. Just tell the Wei family how dilapidated this house is when no one lives in it. The more dilapidated the better, it's best to hold on. Manager, come and see it for yourself, the Wei family will definitely agree. What they want is not rent, but people with financial resources to support the house!"

"……it is good!"

Yu Wanxing gritted his teeth, rolled his eyes and clasped his fists: "I'll try my best. I wish you and your lady in advance a happy marriage in this beloved house!"

The rent and commissions have been reduced. I wish you good things in advance and should give you some reward!

Wang Yuan looked embarrassed: This Yaman dared to say anything just to ask for reward; he was a married man, and Hu Mengying was married for the third time, so where could he follow her!

Hu Mengying's pretty face was filled with sadness: "What nonsense are you talking about? The young master and I are innocent. If you spread the word like this, how do you tell me to behave? It also ruins the young master's reputation!"

A woman's innocence is a big deal. If she makes a fuss, Yu Wanxing slaps her mouth, lowers her head and clasps her fists: "I was wrong. Please forgive me, Miss. I shouldn't have said such nonsense!"

Hu Mengying pursed her lips and turned around to suppress a smile, but then she waved her sleeves and said, "Reduce the rent by another two cents!"

"puff!"

Wang Yuan couldn't help it anymore: After all, it's still about bargaining!

Dahu, Guo Liang, and Wang Sihai were stunned.

No one thought that the generous eldest daughter of the Hu family could bargain to such an extent!

"Miss, you are too cruel. I, Yu Wanxing, have been teething since I was thirteen years old, and I have never seen you be so cruel. I surrender to you. I will go to the Wei family to talk!"

Yu Wanxing shook his head, fisted at the two of them, and left with a look of dismay on his face!

The group is also preparing to return to the inn!

In the carriage, Hu Mengying looked at Wang Yuan intently, and couldn't help but blushing: "Master, what are you looking at again?"

Wang Yuan chuckled: "We met in the county town and Yixiantian. Every time we were given one thousand taels of silver, you didn't blink. The contrast today is too big!"

"...Some money can't be saved, and some money can be saved! Buying the young master's soap is a profitable business, so you can't save it. The guards died and died for me, so I can't save them. Renting a house, Yaren is just running errands, so you shouldn't take too much money ."

Hu Mengying explained in a serious manner, as if she often bargained with others like this!

"But I still want to thank you!"

"My lord, you are too polite!"

"Why don't we go to the next dental shop?"

"If you don't go, that Yaren will definitely go to the Wei Mansion to negotiate for this compound!"

"Ok!"

The carriage suddenly became quiet, and the two of them didn't know what to say.

In fact, the two of them have been in this state these days, barely talking to each other.

After all, one is already married and the other is married for the third time. Unless there is a reason, they will not be alone together!

"oops!"

"Ear!"

Suddenly there was a scream and a horse hooting, and the carriage stopped sharply, as if someone had fallen.

Dahu said: "Brother Yuan, a drunkard suddenly rushed out and fell in front of the carriage!"

"It's a porcelain thing!"

Lifting the curtain, Wang Yuan got out of the carriage, and Hu Mengying followed.

A middle-aged man with a thin face and the smell of alcohol was lying in front of the carriage, holding a wine bottle in his hand, and drunkenly drank it into his mouth.

Wang Yuan helped the middle-aged man up: "Uncle, are you okay?"

"Something's wrong, I have a big problem, but it's a pity that you can't help me!"

With a push, Wang Yuan stood up. The middle-aged man swayed and carried his head to the ground.

"Uncle, be careful!"

Hu Mengying, who was approaching from behind, grabbed the middle-aged man and prevented him from falling.

"Little madam, you are so beautiful. If I am twenty years younger, I will definitely send someone to your house to hire you!"

The middle-aged man's eyes lit up and he glanced at Wang Yuan again: "You and your lover are a perfect match. When are you going to have a wedding banquet, please remember to invite me!"

"you……"

Hu Mengying's face turned red with embarrassment. She let go of the middle-aged man and rushed into the carriage to hide!

This drunkard, why is he so messy?

Wang Yuan is thinking about how to deal with this drunkard!

Suddenly, a young man with dark circles under his eyes ran over with two servants in satin clothes.

The servant supported the middle-aged man,

The young man came to Wang Yuan's shoulder upstairs and said, "Brother, my uncle has caused trouble for you. Tell me your name and residence, and I'll invite you to Gou Lan and drink flower wine later!"

"Cough cough!"

Wang Yuan looked at the young man with dark circles and coughed!

In public, people are invited to go hang out and drink wine. Are you sincere?

Snapped!

The drunken middle-aged man rushed over, slapped the young man with dark circles on the forehead, and cursed: "You shameless bastard, I have a close confidant here, and you want to invite people to go hook up and drink wine, how do you want them to respond?" Are you going or not? Tell me, are you going or not?"

"Uncle, I was wrong!"

The young man with dark circles covered his head and ran away shouting: "Little brother, I am a man of my word. If I invite you to Goulan and drink wine, I will definitely invite you. Just wait!"

"You bastard, you still dare to say nonsense, ugh!"

A wine bottle was smashed over, and the middle-aged man opened the wine compartment and waved to the two of them: "Young man, young lady, I see that you two look like husband and wife. When you come to the church to get married in the future, don't forget to invite me to a wedding banquet!"

"The look of husband and wife!"

Dahu, Guo Liang, and Wang Sihai looked narrow-minded!

After glaring at the three of them, Wang Yuan got into the carriage and couldn't help but be stunned!

Hu Mengying covered her face with her hands, her ears turned red with embarrassment!

Wang Yuan said awkwardly: "These uncle and nephew are not serious people. They are listening to their nonsense! I never go to the fence, and I never drink flower wine."

"Ok!"

Hu Mengying pursed her lips in response.

The car rattles, Ma Xiaoxiao.

The group returned to the inn, but were stopped by a group of uninvited guests!

"My son named Wang, you are finally back. I have been waiting for you for a long time!"
