The Prodigal Son's Happy Life - Chapter 85
[Chapter 85 The old man surnamed Sun]
After hearing the young master’s explanation, Bai Xiaochun was still confused.
He didn’t understand that it was just a small condition, but before the old man said it, he was decisively rejected by the young master.
Why is this?
Although he was confused, he didn’t ask any more questions.
He is just a servant, just follow his master.
He would do whatever the young master asked him to do, even if he was asked to jump into the lake, he would never frown.
This was something I had already decided upon when I was young and signed the contract of sale with Fang Mansion for the first time.
So, he just followed the young master and didn’t ask any more questions.
Fang Xiu walked on the spacious street, resisting the desire to look back and thinking to himself.
It’s just a piece of land. Since you can’t completely control it in your own hands, it’s better to give it to others.
Anyway, the current Fang Mansion is not short of the one thousand taels of silver.
After walking a few steps further, Fang Xiu was about to return to Fang Xiu to rest.
A young man in green clothes chased him from behind, walked quickly to him, and said breathlessly: “Master, Master, please stay.”
Fang Xiu looked at him calmly and asked: “Who are you? What’s the matter?
The boy in green breathed a sigh of relief and then said, “My name is Zhang San, and I am Gou Lan’s clerk. Sun Guiren asked me to ask the young master if there is still room for negotiation about Gou Lan.”
Sure
enough, that’s the case .
An old man.
Fang Xiu looked at him expressionlessly and said: “It’s just a piece of land deed. It’s only worth a thousand taels of silver at most. My income from Chunfeng Tower in the south of the city is more than this amount in one day.
Why do you want to covet this?” A small profit, to collect a piece of land that cannot be fully controlled?
What’s more, Goulanwa City is not uncommon in the capital, and the profit is not very rich. Even if the rest of Goulanwa City has no intention of selling, I am too lazy to go there. In this muddy water
, go back and tell your Mr. Sun that if he wants to talk in good faith, don’t hide it. If you have any requests, just say it. I am not short of a thousand taels of silver. There is no need for him to put on a show. You are kind and respectful to me!”
These words are well-founded and convincing.
Even the young boy in Tsing Yi who stood on the side of the old man named Sun couldn’t help but be moved and felt that what Sun Guiren said to this young master was inappropriate.
He stood willingly, only hesitated for a moment, and then said: “Young Master, I will convey it truthfully. I also ask Young Master Fang to wait here for a while, and I will come back as soon as I go.”
Fang Xiu looked at him and thought to himself: Could this guy be… A fool?
I had just stepped out of the hook fence, and I was only a few steps away from the hook fence. What was there to wait for?
Although he thought so in his heart, his face was still expressionless, and he said calmly: “No need, I will go with you.”
After saying that, he took the lead and walked back to Goulan.
Behind him, Bai Xiaochun looked at the backs of his young master and the boy in Tsing Yi, feeling a little confused.
I don’t understand…
The old man just made it very clear that the land deed can only be sold if he agrees to his conditions.
Why did he change his mind in just half a stick of incense?
Although he couldn’t figure it out, it didn’t stop him from admiring his young master even more.
No wonder the young master was so indifferent, he must have expected all this to happen.
The young master is really a genius!
In the check box.
The old man surnamed Sun had a faint look of anxiety on his old face, and his eyes looked outside from time to time, as if waiting for something.
In fact, it is not difficult to sell this land.
As long as the price is one thousand taels, countless merchants or wealthy families will rush to buy it.
But what he wants is definitely not this thousand taels of silver.
But Goulan continues to exist, so that the people here have the ability to rely on their own craftsmanship to survive.
After living for so many years, he knew it very well.
It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish.
Although he has not read the sages’ books for a few years and does not know this sentence, he understands the general meaning.
When he was young, he was also a storyteller on the street. Later,
he inexplicably picked up a land deed on this street.
I knocked on the doors of many wealthy families, trying to find the real owner of this land deed.
But when the gatekeepers saw that he was in ragged clothes and looked like a beggar, they all kicked him out without waiting for him to say anything.
Therefore, he had to keep the title deed himself.
Later, as time passed and no one looked for it or claimed it, the land deed naturally became his asset.
He got a windfall for no reason, but he was not knocked unconscious.
The old man, who has been living alone in the world for decades, has long lost the ambition of his youth.
He doesn’t want to make a name for himself in the capital with this windfall, he just wants to keep the land lease and live his old age peacefully.
So, they just built a thatched hut in this place to provide a place for some poor scholars who came to Beijing to take exams, and collected a few copper coins to make ends meet.
But
one day, he walked out of the thatched house and saw on the street not far away, the place where he once stayed.
There was a ragged young couple with a young child performing tricks.
Passers-by just glanced at it and walked quickly past.
Fallen leaves fell on their shoulders, which was extremely desolate.
Deep in the old man’s heart, a string was touched.
He saw the shadow of his past in them.
He decided to use his meager strength to help them.
So in the bustling south of the city, next to the reveling Yiren residence, there was this simple hook fence.
He put countless efforts into this Goulan, and he didn’t want Goulan to just fall apart after his death.
Therefore, I want to find someone who is interested in taking over Gouban and inherit my business.
Such people are not easy to find.
People who can afford money are all extremely shrewd. How could they allow such a hook that does not bring any benefits to exist?
All they want is this land.
But today, he saw a young man with luxurious clothes and noble temperament. He must be from a noble family.
He is not like other businessmen or managers of aristocratic families. When he comes to Goulan, the first thing he says is the land deed.
Instead, I watched the Goulan and all the programs in it carefully, and sat in the Goulan for a full half day before I was ready to leave.
The old man knew that this young man was interested in Goulan!
Such people are rare.
You must seize the opportunity, even if you pay the price and sell the land deed at a low price.
But this man was persuaded to retreat by himself in just a few words
. The old man couldn’t help but feel regretful.
I hope Zhang San can stop the young master and persuade him to discuss it with him again.
This time, he definitely won’t be as arrogant as before.
Just as he was thinking this, not far away, three figures appeared outside the hook fence.
The leader is none other than the young and luxuriously dressed young man from before!
