The uncle borrowed some merits, and the princess drew the talisman fiercely
Chapter 158 The Tree is Lifeless
"Hey, Miss, this place is very close to Zhuque Street, and not too far from Prince Jin's Mansion."
Qing Bao had been looking out the carriage window and saw Suzaku Street in the distance.
Princess Changning's Mansion is on Zhuque Street.
"Whoa..." Old Ma just stopped the carriage.
Xiaoliu jumped out of the car first and looked at a big and lush tree next to him, stunned.
"Dad, is this a locust tree?"
He was a little hesitant to confirm.
It was because Lao Ma saw this locust tree that he stopped the car. “It’s a locust tree.”
This locust tree is so big and lush.
"Miss, is this the place?"
Qingyin got off the carriage first and reached out to help Lu Zhaoling down.
Qingbao also got off the car.
As soon as they raised their eyes, they saw the locust tree and the house next to it.
The two-story house, with green walls, red tiles and a vermilion gate, is hidden under the dense branches of a locust tree.
"The gatehouse of this house must be shady." Xiaoliu's focus was unusual. He first saw the gatehouse covered by the branches of locust trees.
Lu Zhaoling looked around. To the left was Zhuque Street. In front was the wall of another house. To the right was the way they had just come. The direction behind should be the area leading to Prince Jin's Mansion.
Because there is another wide alley next to it. When I came here just now, I saw a few shops open for business in the alley. On the other side is a small open space connected to Zhuque Street. This house is a single building with no next door.
This becomes the middle of the tic-tac-toe, so to speak.
Plus there is such a tall locust tree planted here, and the mouth of the red bird is facing it, this house...
"Miss, are we here to see this house?" Qingbao asked.
But they didn't seem to realize that the house was for sale.
"Go knock on the door and ask."
Lu Zhaoling stood under the tree, stretched out his hand and touched the tree, and felt an endless supply of cool spiritual energy.
What a nice tree!
But this tree is a little strange. Even though it has so much spiritual energy gathered, it doesn’t look very energetic.
It looks lush at first glance, but in fact the branches are a little droopy and not stretched out.
So, you may not think there is anything wrong at first glance, but if you look at it a few more times, you will feel that something is wrong.
Sure enough, just as Lu Zhaoling was thinking this, he heard Lao Ma say in surprise, "Why is this tree so lifeless? Has no one watered it?"
"Aren't you energetic? You look quite lush."
Xiaoliu looked at it again in confusion, and this time he really saw it.
"Eh? Yes, miss, this tree seems to be a little wilted."
Qingyin and Qingbao also noticed it. I don't know how to describe this feeling. It seems fine, but it doesn't look fresh and lively, and it doesn't have the vigorous vitality that a big tree should have.
“I don’t know if anyone is there.”
Qingyin has already knocked on the door.
The door is not locked, so there must be someone inside.
After a long while there was no movement, Qingyin knocked on the door again, this time a little harder.
There was the sound of a carriage approaching slowly from Zhuque Street, heading in this direction.
When Qingyin heard footsteps inside the door, the carriage just stopped.
A young girl leaned out and shouted in surprise, "Second Miss Lu."
Lu Zhaoling looked over and recognized the person.
"Miss Gu."
The person who came was Gu Qing.
Lu Zhaoling had met Gu Qing twice, so among all the people in Beijing, she was considered an acquaintance. And she knew Sun Yingying because of Gu Qing.
"It's so nice to meet you here, Miss Lu Er. I was wondering if I could go look for you."
Gu Qing got off the carriage and walked quickly towards Lu Zhaoling, his eyes bright and he looked very happy.
"Miss Gu, do you have something to ask me?"
As soon as Lu Zhaoling asked this question, the door opened.
She turned around and saw an old man looking at them.
"Who are you looking for?"
Gu Qing exclaimed, "Second Miss Lu, are you looking for my uncle?"
"Cousin?"
"This was my cousin's previous home, but he moved out half a month ago and wants to sell the house." Lu Qing said, raising his voice to greet the old man.
"Uncle Zhang!"
"It's Miss Gu." When the old man saw her, his nervous expression relaxed.
Qingyin felt a little strange because Uncle Zhang seemed a little scared and nervous when he saw them. They were not bad people and they didn't look like they were here to do anything bad.
Lu Zhaoling raised her eyebrows, feeling a little proud.
In the past, her master always told her that people in their line of work usually cannot accurately predict their own fortunes.
But she is different. Although she rarely calculates herself, every time she calculates, it is always accurate. It seems that her talent is really rare in a thousand years. It is so amazing.
Even if she goes this way, it will be a good omen for her.
"Miss Gu, I want to go in and take a look at your uncle's house. Is that convenient?"
"It's convenient."
"inconvenient!"
Gu Qing and Uncle Zhang, the gatekeeper, spoke at the same time.
For a moment, the scene was a little stiff.
Gu Qing came back to his senses, walked to the door, and looked at Uncle Zhang, "Uncle Zhang, what's going on? I heard before that my cousin wanted to sell this house. They have already moved out. Can't we even go in and take a look?"
Uncle Zhang sighed helplessly.
"Miss Cousin, you don't know that the master changed his mind a few days ago and doesn't allow anyone to come in and see the house."
"Why?"
Uncle Zhang looked at Lu Zhaoling and the others, and the words were on the tip of his tongue, but he immediately changed the subject.
"This lady is probably not here to buy a house. There is nothing interesting here. Let's go somewhere else."
Lu Zhaoling is only sixteen years old now. She has a young face and a thin body growing in the countryside. She looks like a little girl who still listens to her parents at home.
There's no way a girl like this is here to buy a house.
"Uncle Zhang, I'm here to buy a house."
Lu Zhaoling also walked to the door.
Uncle Zhang's face changed slightly, and he asked in surprise, "You want to buy a house?"
Gu Qing was also a little surprised, but she had just heard from Princess Changning that Lu Zhaoling had received 100,000 taels from Marquis Qingfu, so she did not doubt that Lu Zhaoling wanted to buy a house.
Miss Lu is very rich now!
Just now, Princess Changning and her people were chattering for a long time, all they were talking about was Second Miss Lu, and they were all envious and jealous. She saw that Princess Changning's face was not looking good, and she estimated that even Princess Changning did not have 100,000 taels.
"Uncle Zhang, this is Miss Lu II. Since she wants to buy the house, let her go in and take a look. How can she buy it without seeing it?" Gu Qing said quickly.
"My cousin, the master has really changed his mind and he doesn't want to sell this house anymore," said Uncle Zhang.
"How is that possible? My cousin has borrowed a lot of money to buy a new house, and he is waiting to sell the old house to pay off the debt. How can he get the money if he doesn't sell it?"
Gu Qing didn't believe it. She looked at Lu Zhaoling and said, "But, does Miss Lu really want to buy this house?"
Lu Zhaoling nodded, "I really want to buy it."
"Even if you don't buy it, you can still go in and take a look," said Gu Qing.
