Chapter 1275 You said that the Dragon people don't lie to the Dragon people
Anyone who has lived in a siheyuan knows that this siheyuan is different from other siheyuans and there is a huge difference between them.
In terms of structure, there are one courtyard, two courtyards, three courtyards or even more.
Generally speaking, there were fewer wealthy merchants than officials, and they did not dare to go beyond the standard in terms of structure. Therefore, in the old city of Yanjing, most houses had one or two courtyards, and houses with three courtyards were very rare.
Of course, there are also some very impressive ones, such as the courtyard where Jia's grandmother lived in the Dream of the Red Chamber, which has five courtyards and is very grand.
The architectural structure of the Siheyuan includes the main house, wing rooms, back rooms, back rooms, and hanging flower gates, which are the core of the Siheyuan.
Zhou Feng now lives in the back house, and Li Xiangnan now lives in the back house.
Which is the best house in the whole yard?
That is the highest-level building in the courtyard, located at the northern end of the central axis, facing north and south - the main room and central hall.
This building usually has three or five bays, with a gable roof and a front eaves. It is a place for elders to live or hold family ceremonies. Its positioning follows the Feng Shui concept of "Kan House and Xun Gate", reflecting the ethical order of "North is respected and South is humble".
Therefore, the position of this central room is the most prominent among the three bays!
Now He Dashuang said that he wanted to sell this main house to himself, how could Li Xiangnan not be excited!
If they buy this house, the Li family will live in the best and most prestigious location in the entire courtyard from now on!
At this moment, Li Xiangnan's heart was filled with passion, but his face remained as calm as an old dog.
He followed He Dashuang into the house, but in fact he had a lot of doubts in his mind.
He Dashuang, why are you selling your house for no reason?
Just want money like Xu Damao?
It’s not that simple, right?
Li Xiangnan calmly stepped into the hall and began to look around.
"Doctor Li is here!"
Qin Chunlian was sitting nervously on a small stool in the room. When she saw him come in, she stood up hurriedly and greeted him.
Hearing the tone, as if he had known that I was coming, Li Xiangnan nodded slightly, and became more certain that there was something fishy about He Dashuang's plan.
This was the first time that Li Xiangnan walked into He Dashuang's house in an orderly manner.
The last time Luo Fei came to the yard, when Xu Damao and He Dashuang had a fight and injured his head, he was bandaging the wound at the door and didn't have the leisure to observe the furnishings in the room.
But after taking a closer look today, I discovered that there is indeed something special about this central hall.
This spacious area alone is much larger than the room he lives in at the back.
In the back, he had two inner and outer rooms, one large and one small, neither of which was half the size of He Dashuang's room.
The area of his house is at most 80 square meters, but this house is more than square meters. Just standing inside, one can feel a sense of sudden enlightenment and openness.
Looking at the furnishings again, the pine and crane painting hanging in the middle of the hall above the Eight Immortals table and the armchair, and the duster bottle and mirror that embody Confucian etiquette all exude a sense of antiquity.
The five-piece set from ancient times is all available in He Dashuang's house!
The He family has some background!
No wonder He Dashuang said that his father was a gambler. A family with such financial resources couldn't afford it!
Looking at the height, the main house has a space of seven meters, which is much larger than the four meters of Li Xiangnan's house.
Originally, the east and west side rooms and the end room were connected. They used to be the bedroom or study of the main house. They must have been cut off by the elder He Dashuang and became two solid brick walls.
Li Xiangnan walked around the room and became more and more satisfied the more he looked.
He really wants to buy this house.
But when buying a "second-hand house", you naturally have to be more cautious. You need to conduct a thorough "property survey" on the house to make sure there are no problems with the house before you make the transaction.
And during the negotiation process, be careful not to show that you must buy this house.
This is all based on experience.
As the buyer, Li Xiangnan nodded, took out a cigarette and gave one to the seller He Dashuang, and asked, "Brother Dashuang, why do you want to sell this house?"
He asked this question because, firstly, he was very confused about He Dashuang's real purpose, and secondly, as a buyer, he had a natural obligation to know about his future residence.
This is just like in later generations. If a second-hand house is mortgaged for the second time, the student's registration is occupied, the house has permanent residence rights established, or even if a tenant has signed a long-term tenancy agreement, it will be very troublesome.
Asking ugly questions upfront is a way of showing responsibility for yourself!
After all, no one’s money comes from the wind!
"To be honest!" He Dashuang sighed and took out the letter of guarantee written by Qin Chunlian from his pocket. "Doctor Li, please take a look! I dare not hide it from you!"
"Oh?"
Li Xiangnan was extremely surprised. When he took the letter, he stared at He Dashuang for a few seconds, trying to detect any conspiracy from his expression, but he soon calmed down.
He Dashuang is telling the truth!
The despair in a person's eyes cannot be faked!
"Doctor Li, have some tea!"
A cup of tea was placed on the table. Li Xiangnan glanced sideways and found that even Qin Chunlian, who was serving tea, behaved in a very respectful manner, without any of the charm of the "pretty widow" she used to have.
He looked down in confusion, and in just a few seconds he completely understood He Dashuang's unexpected behavior today.
Sure enough, something happened!
And it’s a big deal!
"Sister Chunlian and the Zheng family made this promise to you because of the public toilet incident?" Li Xiangnan asked calmly.
"Yes, Doctor Li! The city has already asked an organization to estimate the cost of improving the public toilets. It will cost 1200 yuan! Chunlian tried her best to persuade us and used all her connections. Now we only need to pay 600 yuan!"
He Dashuang raised his head when he said this.
"600 yuan to repair a public toilet also buys me a stable life for the rest of my life. It's worth it!"
Li Xiangnan smoked quietly without expressing his opinion.
"Ordinary people can't come up with these 600 yuan! The street office is not trying to make things difficult for us. They are trying their best to help us coordinate the expenses. But after all, it was our naughty child who made the mistake! We have to bear the responsibility for this mistake! I don't want to have a falling out with the street office because of this. Xiao Suan is so young, and if this mistake is recorded in the file, it will be troublesome in the future! I can settle the 600 yuan, live a good life with Chunlian, and the Zheng family will remember my kindness for the rest of their lives. That's enough for everyone to be happy!"
He Dashuang exhaled smoke with a sad face.
"Doctor Li, I know you just want to buy a house for your parents, and I have one to sell! If you like this house, please name a price, but if it's less than 600 yuan, then I..."
"I know!"
Li Xiangnan threw away his cigarette butt and looked him in the face. "Brother Dashuang, I, Li Xiangnan, am not the kind of person who raises the price! When buying and selling, there is a price for it! You know Brother Damao's house, it's not 15 square meters, but I bought it for square meters, yuan, which is equivalent to yuan per square meter. If you do a rough calculation here, it's about or square meters, so let's say it's square meters, and I'll give you yuan!"
"How many?"
When Qin Chunlian heard this number, she was so scared that she sat on the ground.
He Dashuang also stood up with cold sweat on his face, feeling scared, excited, nervous and horrified.
In his entire life, he had never even seen 1500 yuan, let alone saved that much money!
"Doctor Li, are you serious? You can't go back on your word. You said that people from Yanjing don't cheat people from Yanjing. No, you are not from Yanjing. You said that people from Longguo don't cheat people from Longguo..."
He took two steps at a time and grabbed Li Xiangnan's hand. He didn't dare to let go, for fear that Doctor Li would run away.
Li Xiangnan curled his lips, "Why would I lie to you! If you don't believe me, let's write an agreement now. I'll have someone send the money to you tomorrow, and we'll go to the relevant unit to transfer the ownership right away!"
"Write, write, wife, bring me paper and pen! Quick!"
He Dashuang pulled him and immediately began to urge Qin Chunlian.
1500 yuan! It had already far exceeded his and Qin Chunlian's expectations.
I originally thought that the price would be over 600 yuan, but Li Xiangnan quoted three or four hundred yuan, and I even had to bargain, and finally the deal was settled at 600 yuan!
The result was unexpected—it was actually 1500!
He Dashuang laughed so hard that he became numb!
Looking at his and Qin Chunlian's smiling faces as they cried with joy.
Li Xiangnan also laughed so hard that he was numb...
