Chapter 1174 Liu Juntang's plan
I was afraid that if I took a step closer, the shy and observant fiancee would really turn into a swallow and fly away. Liu Juntang didn't dare to go forward any more, so he stopped two steps in front of her, and said in a low voice, "Twenty-five thousand taels."
He finally stopped making trouble, Jiang Muyan's tense nerves relaxed slightly, and continued to think about the house.
"If this mansion hadn't been a little more remote, it would have cost thousands of taels more. What would your uncle and aunt think?" In recent years, Jiang Muyan has been paying attention to large dowries such as shops and farmland, and she knows Kang'an's land price.
25,000 taels is an overwhelming amount for others; but for the Liu family, the richest man in Xinzhou, it is still affordable.
Jiang Muyan was also satisfied with this house. Although there is no small garden where family members can relax and guests can gather in this mansion, there are many houses. If she wants to hold a flower viewing party and a poetry party, she can go to Liujiazhuang outside the city. After she and Juntang became biological children, the children would have a place to live, and they would be able to calm down and study, and they would not need to buy additional houses for 20 to 30 years.
"Father and mother heard that there are fertile fields in Qixian County, and went out of the city to see the fields. When they come back, I will invite them to come and see each other. My parents always wanted me to change to a bigger house so that you can live more comfortably. So as long as we like it, our parents will not object." Liu Juntang raised his hand in a gesture of invitation, "Yan'er follow me to the garden outside the west wall, okay?"
Is there a garden in the west? If the owner of the small garden is willing to give up his love, it would be better to buy it. Jiang Muyan couldn't wait, "Okay. Is the owner of the garden here? How big is the garden, and how much silver tael does it cost to visit the garden a day?"
Seeing her so happy, Liu Juntang made up his mind to buy a garden and led her to the West Garden. Because the park guards had been informed long ago, entry into the park was not hindered. After entering the garden gate, Liu Juntang introduced to her,
"This place was originally the private garden of a great general of the previous dynasty. After several rounds, it fell into the hands of the current owner's father. After his father passed away, the current owner of the garden was not good at garden management, which caused the place to gradually become deserted. Have you been here?"
Jiang Muyan shook her head. She came to visit Xianfang as often, but she didn't know that there was such a garden in the alleys in the workshop.
Looking at the empty garden, full of weeds, and unable to see the edge at a glance, Jiang Muyan knew that it was impossible to buy it. She suppressed her regret and smiled, "There are few people walking here, and there are many wild grass and trees. If we buy the nearby On a rainy and snowy day, coming here to play the qin and paint in the pavilion is a unique experience.”
Liu Juntang was also quite moved, "It's summer, and there will be rain in a few days. At that time, we can go to the pavilion in front of us to paint, and be careful with our feet."
"Yeah." Jiang Muyan responded lightly, lifted the pink narcissus flower and green leaf skirt slightly with both hands, stepped over the half-foot-high green grass, and climbed the stairs.
Liu Juntang, who was exploring the road ahead, looked back and saw that his fiancée's feet wearing pink embroidered shoes crossed the green grass and landed on the bluestone steps. in your own hands.
Seeing that Liu Juntang couldn't stop, Jiang Muyan raised her eyes and found that he was staring at her feet. She quickly put down her skirt and clenched her fists tightly.
Knowing that he was abrupt, Liu Juntang quickly turned around and continued walking, but in a panic, his left toe stumbled on the steps and his body fell forward.
At this moment, Liu Juntang's heart is full of thoughts: it's over, he embarrassed in front of Yaner again, will Yaner think he is a fool and refuse to marry him...
"Brother Jun!" Jiang Muyan took two steps forward and grabbed Liu Juntang's arm.
Running and practicing together with Jiang Liu for many years, Jiang Muyan, who looked delicate and slender, actually grabbed Liu Juntang, who was about to fall down on the steps.
Liu Juntang, the god, was still a little silly. Everyone else is a hero who saves beauty. How could he become a beauty and save a hero?
Bah! His reaction and speed are not as good as Yan'er, what kind of hero...
Will Yaner despise him even more?
Seeing Liu Juntang kneeling on one knee and not moving on the stone steps, Jiang Muyan was worried, "Where is Brother Jun, can you get up?"
Liu Juntang raised his phoenix eyes and saw that his sweetheart did not dislike him at all, and his flustered heart couldn't help beating again. He stood up and pretended that his leg hurt, "The knee hurts a little bit, Yan'er will help me walk, okay?"
The summer shirt was thin, and his knees must have been bruised with the heavy sound just now. Feeling distressed over shyness, Jiang Muyan raised her hand to support his arm, "That's all for today, I'll help you go back and ask Langzhong to treat your injuries."
Realizing that he was able to pretend, Liu Juntang hurriedly stood up straight, "Just touch it, it will be fine, and it will be there in a few steps, let's go up and have a look and come back."
Jiang Muyan had to help him up the stone steps and into the hexagonal pavilion.
This pavilion is the highest point in the garden, and you can have a panoramic view of the scenery in the pavilion. Jiang Muyan felt distressed when she saw that the huge garden was deserted.
Liu Juntang, who had already prepared, took out the snow-white handkerchief and spread it on the stone bench that was cleaned by someone in the morning, "Yan'er, sit down."
"Brother Jun, sit first." Jiang Muyan, who knew the rules and knew that he was distressed, had just finished speaking when Liu Juntang had spared the stone table and sat on another stone bench.
His legs don't hurt so soon? Jiang Muyan thought for a moment, then bit her lower lip lightly, he really...
The two sat down, and the little servant Liu Sheng immediately placed the prepared tea, melons and fruits on the table, and then backed out of the hall obediently, standing beside Jiang Muyan's two maids.
Drinking tea in this barren hall full of weeds, he must have something to discuss with himself. Jiang Muyan brought the tea cup to her red lips and took a sip, thinking about what he would discuss with her.
When Jiang Muyan calmed down, it was like the early spring with grassy colors, and the ink painting with light smoke, which was unique in poetry and picturesque. Liu Juntang loved her so much that he couldn't help but be fascinated again.
When Jiang Muyan raised her eyes, Liu Juntang suddenly woke up, sitting up straight to discuss business affairs with her, "I want to buy this garden and encircle it so that it can be connected to the yard in the east. As our private garden, what do you think of Yaner? "
Said the words "our family", and Liu Juntang's heart was hot.
Hearing these three words, Jiang Muyan's heart couldn't help but tremble.
She calmed down and carefully considered Liu Juntang's suggestion. The garden and the house next to it are more than double the size of Jiang's mansion. Although his father was the Marquis of Le'an, Juntang was a sixth-rank official. Many people would envy him in such a large house, and the imperial censor would definitely issue a memorial to impeach him. Jiang Muyan reminded softly, "Is this garden too big?"
Liu Juntang nodded with a smile, "It's really bigger. When my official position is promoted, we don't have to worry about the house. We can slowly repair the house according to our own preferences, and when we have children, we can take them in the garden. We can play in the yard, like the Jiang Mansion, we can also run in the yard every day..."
Listening to Liu Juntang's description of the future, Jiang Muyan is not unmoved, but, "If a censor impeaches you, what should you do?"
This point, Liu Juntang also thought about it, "Although my family has been in business for four generations, I have a small amount of savings, and the money to buy a house is not afraid of being questioned. But I have been an official for four years. Whether it is for the Liu family or my career, it is not a long-term plan. So I want to take the opportunity to buy a house and ask my father to separate the family for me and my second brother. "
