Judge of the Song Dynasty Chapter 399: Mansion

Finally! Lane

After several twists and turns, Zhang Fei finally ended his virginity in the Northern Song Dynasty.

It's really not easy!

It's not that he cherishes his lost and regained virginity. After helping Cao Dongdong in the lawsuit and earning a generous commission, he planned to complete the transformation of a man. To Gao Wenyin.

With a woman by his side, his thinking changed a bit, and he was not so eager, and after confirming his relationship with Xu Zhiqian, he had no idea of ​​going to a brothel to solve the problem.

......

A few times of spring breeze, it is already a white head.

"Ah! It's snowing!"

Qing Mei stood on the corridor, looking at the snowflakes falling from the sky, her young face showed a bit of joy.

Gao Wenyin said with a smile: "Don't look at it yet, Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xu will be coming later, go and see if Sanlang and the others are up."

According to the etiquette, the newlyweds were supposed to greet their elders with the gift of congratulations early this morning. It should have been Zhang Fei's parents, but due to the special circumstances, Xu Zun asked Xu Lingxiao and Mu Zhen to complete the ceremony.

"Hey!"

Qing Mei came to the door, "Sister Qianer! Sister Qianer!"

There was no movement in the house.

Qingmei whispered: "It's strange! Usually, sister Qian'er is already up at this time!"

Gao Wenyin smiled.

Qingmei said again: "Sister Qian'er, it's time to get up, brother and sister-in-law are coming later."

There was barely a murmur from inside the house.

A quarter of an hour later.

The couple who got married yesterday sat in front of the bronze mirror.

Zhang Fei was proud of his spring breeze and was full of energy. From time to time, he would flirt with Gao Wenyin who was helping him comb his hair, which made Gao Wenyin feel ashamed.

Xu Zhiqian also had spring in her eyebrows, she seemed more charming than yesterday, but she also had small bright red mouths, as if she was still childish. Lane

"Sister Qian'er, why do you seem unhappy?"

Qing Mei asked softly.

Xu Zhiqian glared at him immediately, "It's all my fault, he tormented me all night, and now... it still hurts."

Speaking of the latter, the voice is already moaning like a mosquito.

There was a few spring breezes last night, but it tormented her enough. The key is that she has no power to resist. When has Xu Zhiqian been suppressed like this before?

Gao Wenyin pursed her lower lip, her face flushed slightly.

Although Qingmei was taught by her sister-in-law, she didn't learn this step, so she asked concerned: "Sister Qian'er, did the third brother beat you?" Lan

Zhang Fei hurriedly said: "Qing Mei, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, I don't have that habit, don't scare your elder sister Gao and ruin my good deeds."

But I also feel wronged in my heart. I was a little bit fierce last night, but you can't blame me entirely. Who made me hold it in for so long before, without three or five times, the inventory couldn't be cleaned up at all.

Gao Wenyin patted his shoulder lightly, and said angrily, "Okay, why mention me."

Xu Zhiqian said with a sly smile: "Sister Gao, you are so charming, this villain will not let you go."

She had long regarded Gao Wenyin as a family member, and she even felt a little guilty because she thought it was Gao Wenyin who established the relationship with Zhang Fei first.

Gao Wenyin was in a hurry, she stomped her foot lightly, "Zhiqian, you can help him no matter what."

Zhang Fei said with a look of grievance: "Madam, she is not helping me, she is planning for herself, I hope you can help her share some firepower." Lan

Gao Wenyin spat: "No one is serious."

Among the laughing and bickering, I finally finished dressing up.

The four came to the lobby again.

Li Si and Xiao Tao have been waiting there for a long time.

"Third brother, madam. Good morning."

There is obviously some restraint in the tone.

Although Xu Zhiqian often comes here and is very approachable, her status is different after all, she is now the hostess here. Lane

Xu Zhiqian smiled and said: "Don't call me Madam, just call me Sister Qian'er as usual, and I still listen to Sister Gao for family matters."

As she spoke, she held Gao Wenyin's arm affectionately again.

Xiao Tao and Li Si looked happy. To be honest, they liked Gao Wenyin better.

"How can this be done." Gao Wenyin hurriedly said.

Xu Zhiqian said: "Why not, I don't know how to run a house at all, and I don't like doing these things."

Zhang Fei nodded with a smile and said, "I agree. If Zhiqian is to manage the house, she has to donate all the money. It won't be long before we have to sleep on the street."

"Bah, bah, bah, why are you sleeping on the street on this big day?" Lan

There was a sound of reproach.

They looked back and saw Xu Lingxiao and Mu Zhen walking in, with a maid behind them holding a piece of silk cloth.

"Brother! Sister-in-law!"

"Brother! Sister-in-law!"

Zhang Fei and Xu Zhiqian immediately stepped forward to salute.

Mu Zhen warned: "Qian'er, you are now a married woman, so don't be as self-willed as before."

Xu Zhiqian nodded coyly. Lane

Zhang Fei suddenly saw that Xu Lingxiao seemed to be preoccupied, so he said: "Brother, sister-in-law, what's the matter?"

Xu Lingxiao was startled, shook his head again and again and said, "It's okay! It's okay!"

Xu Zhiqian also noticed that Xu Lingxiao's expression was different, and said, "Brother, what's the matter?"

Mu Zhen hurriedly said: "It's just a small matter, it doesn't matter, go to the house quickly and get the business done."

Zhang Fei and Xu Zhiqian glanced at each other, but didn't ask any more questions.

But after answering the congratulatory gift, Xu Zhiqian asked again: "Brother, sister-in-law, what's the matter?"

Mu Zhen glanced at Xu Lingxiao with a slight complaint, "Your brother, you just can't hide things in your heart. In fact, it's really not a big deal, but when we were going out, the Liu member came and said that next year there will be a raise." Pay the rent." Lan

Fuck! Did it come so fast? Zhang Fei's expression changed, and he wiped the tip of his nose guiltily.

Fortunately, no one noticed him.

Xu Zhiqian asked, "Why the rent increase?"

Mu Zhen glanced at Zhang Fei, pursed her lips and said with a smile: "This is our sister-in-law, who is so outstanding that outsiders think this place is good, so my sister-in-law lived here and made a fortune, causing the surrounding houses Rents are going up.”

Zhang Fei pretended to be surprised and said: "Is there such a thing?"

Xu Lingxiao asked, "Don't you know?"

Zhang Fei said: "I don't know." Lan

Xu Lingxiao said: "Strange, the rent of your house has tripled."

"Three times?"

Gao Wenyin and Xu Zhiqian said in unison.

If the rent in Bianjing is to triple, it will be no small matter!

Zhang Fei also pretended to be surprised and said: "Is there so many? I...I really don't know. I entrust the affairs of this house to Mr. Chen."

Xu Zhiqian asked again: "Then how much has our rent increased?"

Xu Lingxiao said: "It's also fully doubled." Lan

Xu Zhiqian hurriedly asked: "Then what should I do?"

Xu Lingxiao sighed: "I can only choose another house, alas...Actually, I don't mind if they want to raise the price. After all, this house belongs to someone else, but they should notify us in advance and give us time to choose another place to live. .”

Zhang Fei said: "Actually... there is no need to find another house. It just so happens that I plan to buy a big house, and it happens that our family lives together."

After getting married, he still wanted to have his own house, and he always felt that the house was too small. Once Cao Dongdong and the others came, Gao Wenyin had to go to the side room to eat.

Mu Zhen asked in surprise, "Sister-in-law wants to buy a house?"

She only knows about Zhang Fei's reputation, but she doesn't know about Zhang Fei's financial resources. She is not the kind of woman who is greedy for money, and she has never asked Xu Zhiqian about it.

You said it so easily to buy a big house? Lane

The house price in Bianjing is very expensive!

Although she also comes from a family of officials, her father is also an upright official. Because of this, his father and Xu Zun have a very good relationship and share the same goals.

Neither of the two families thought about buying a house in Bianjing.

They all plan to save some money, and after they retire, they go back to their hometown to build a house.

Zhang Fei nodded.

Xu Lingxiao hurriedly said: "No, no, sister-in-law, this is absolutely impossible. The house in Bianjing is very expensive. Now that you are an official, you may have to go to the local area to practice in the future. This house is a waste Yes. But we can each pay half of the rent and rent a house together. In this case, Dad will always be taken care of."

Before he knew that he would stay in the capital, he still hoped that Xu Zun could live with Zhang Fei and the others. Lane

Xu Zhiqian nodded again and again, "That's a good idea."

Speaking, she said to Zhang Fei: "Let's do it like this."

Zhang Fei said: "But I think the house price in Bianjing will go up again. I just have some spare money, so I treat it as an investment. If I sell it at that time, not only will I not lose money, but I can even make a fortune. I've already made plans to move to a new house next year after marrying Zhiqian."

"This...."

Xu Lingxiao said: "I can't decide this matter, I have to ask my father's opinion."

Buying a house in ancient times was also a major event for a family.

Must seek advice from Xu Zun. Lane

So they went to Xu's house again.

When the betrothal gift was given before, Zhang Fei mentioned that Xu Zun would not take it if he gave a house directly, but Zhang Fei wanted to buy it himself, and Xu Zunzi would not object to it if a man started a family and started a business.

"If you want to buy a house, you can decide on your own. You don't need to ask me, but it's enough for you to live in. I'll just rent one elsewhere."

This house has an extra courtyard, and it will cost a few thousand coins more casually.

Zhang Fei said awkwardly: "Father-in-law, the reason why I want to move is because I think this house is too small, I must buy a bigger one and bring a big garden."

Xu Lingxiao and Mu Zhen were dumbfounded.

How much money does my sister-in-law have? Lane

This house in Bianjing, with a garden, is definitely a luxury house. If it is in the city, the starting price is at least 50,000 Guan.

Xu Zun persuaded: "It's not easy for you to earn this money, so it's better to save some money."

Zhang Fei said: "Father-in-law, buying a house is not about buying oranges, which will be gone after you eat them. Putting this house there can increase its value. After ten years, it is estimated that you can earn tens of thousands of guan. This is also a business." .”

Xu Zun still seemed a little doubtful. He was a clean and honest official all his life, never owed favors, only favored others.

He still has some concerns about whether this son-in-law is a son. And he doesn't want to live in such a nice house, it doesn't conform to his values.

This kind of value also directly affects Xu Lingxiao and Xu Zhiqian.

Zhang Fei knew what Xu Zun was thinking, so he said: "My son-in-law is able to do what he is today, thanks to the care of his father-in-law. This is a chance for your son-in-law to be filial." 左

Xu Zun listened, and his expression was a little moved. After thinking for a while, he nodded and said: "Okay, it's up to you."

Chen Maoqian over there has already helped Zhang Fei look forward to it.

Zhang Fei also wants to settle this matter as soon as possible. He still doesn't know when he will leave Beijing next year. It's better to move sooner rather than later!

On the second day, Zhang Fei took Gao Wenyin, Xu Zhiqian and Chen Maoqian to the left wing to inspect the house.

"Although this is not the most luxurious location, as far as we businessmen are concerned, this place is already the best. It is adjacent to Pan Street on the upper side and Bianhe Street on the lower side. It is very convenient to travel, and it is not far from the imperial city. .”

Chen Maoqian introduced.

The most luxurious location must be where princes and nobles live. For example, the Cao family, the Han family, and Zhang Fei can't buy it even if they want to. Lane

Zhang Fei asked, "How old is it?"

Chen Maoqian said: "There are sixty-eight rooms, divided into front, middle and rear courtyards, and four small courtyards on the left and right. The privacy is very good, and there is also a garden."

Gao Wenyin exclaimed: "This is too big!"

Li Si and Xiao Tao, who followed to see, were trembling. I can't clean this up by myself!

Xu Zhiqian also whispered: "Zhang San, there is no need for us to buy such a big one?"

Chen Maoqian hehe said: "Mrs. Zhang, with Sanlang's current financial resources, it is more than enough to buy this house."

The tax calculation business of Bianjing Law Firm is simply a bug. Lane

Not to mention there is also a genuine bookstore.

Besides, when buying a house in the Northern Song Dynasty, the area is not counted. Generally, it is counted as a frame. Sixty-eight rooms sounds like a lot, but you must know the structure of ancient houses. If you want to make that kind of spacious lobby, you need to use very thick wood To make beams and pillars, because the Tang Dynasty cut too much, the imperial city of the Song Dynasty was far less magnificent than the Tang Dynasty.

This is especially the case among the folks. The bedrooms are all suites, and they are counted as four rooms. There are also various miscellaneous rooms, huts, servants' houses, guest rooms, and so on.

Generally, these ministers of the fourth rank and above in the imperial court return to their hometowns to build houses, and they start with more than a hundred rooms.

Zhang Fei said with a smile: "Don't say that outside the staff, how much is it?"

Chen Maoqian said: "Eighty-three thousand guan, this is already the lowest price."

Gao Wenyin couldn't help but gasped. Lane

When Xu Zhiqian heard the price, she already guessed what the price was, so she looked at Zhang Fei eagerly, hoping that he would think about it again.

Zhang Fei just thought about it for a while, and said: "Let's go here."
