In the evening, after Lu Hanqiang collected a few baskets of copper coins again, he took the tea and said to the tired and sweaty shopkeeper Zhang, who was actually already his housekeeper and bookkeeper, assistant and manager, and said when his busy feet did not touch the ground: "Brother Zhang, you put down the work in your hand first, I have something I want to discuss with you, and I want to ask you for a favor." ” When the shopkeeper heard this, he hurriedly put down the work in his hand, patted the patina on his hand, and asked with a smile: "I don't know what Mr. commands." ” Lu Hanqiang smiled and said: "Don't dare, I first came to the capital, I am not familiar with the place, although with the help of you, I also have the capital to settle down, but my wife and the family still live in the broken temple outside the city, at this time, I want to ask the shopkeeper to ask me in these four cities, how much does it cost to buy a small courtyard, but also picked up the old lady and sister a year ago." ” When he said this, Lu Hanqiang still had no confidence in his heart, and he couldn't help but quietly glance at the money basket on the ground with his eyes, feeling apprehensive.
It really made Lu Hanqiang worried, what kind of place is this, this is the heart of the motherland, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, according to the housing price in later generations, the money in his hand now, whether it is enough to buy a toilet or not, I don't know if there is a mortgage at this time, if it is not enough, wouldn't it make the shopkeeper laugh at himself and think of this, and hurriedly added again: "If you don't take advantage of it for a while, or according to the previous discussion, it is okay to rent a small courtyard." ” Hearing that Lu Hanqiang was for this matter, and then looking at his unconfident eyes, the shopkeeper Zhang couldn't help but laugh and said: "If you don't say it, sir, I'll say it."
With Mr.'
s net worth, he should have bought a house in the capital a long time ago, and he should not have traveled back and forth to take care of his family in and out of the city.
"But," Lu Hanqiang scratched his head a little embarrassed.
Shopkeeper Zhang has been in the teahouse for a long time, and it can be said that he has read countless people, and he has a thorough understanding of people's thoughts, and he understood Lu Hanqing's embarrassment at that time: "Sir, don't worry about this matter, everything is handed over to you, and I will look for Mr. tomorrow." ” "Then thank you, brother."
Stand up and thank the shopkeeper: "As for the money, you see" "This is to let Mr. rest assured, although at the foot of the emperor of the world, officials from all over the world are buying real estate in Beijing, and there are countless Beijing officials, and there are many floating people waiting for errands, and the original house and land are expensive, but." turned his voice lower, and watched cautiously, and put his mouth to Lu Hanqing's ear: "You and I have our lives delivered, I will tell you the truth, in the past few years, Jinyiwei has won a great victory, and the nine thousand years old slaughtered and exiled countless incompetent people in the court, so the price of this house has fallen to a low point."
In this way, you are still 9,900 years old. ” What the shopkeeper said is the truth, now, the Ming Dynasty is the time of the miasma, every day there are countless officials who fall off the horse and raid the house, those who have lost the property, or confiscated by the official family and idle, or sold by Jinyiwei, there are many officials no longer dare to enter Beijing to buy real estate, housing prices have fallen to the trough of recent decades for a while, so a good set of courtyards is only one-tenth or less of the original.
Zhang's shopkeeper is a neat and easy job, but in half a day, he gave Lu Hanqiang a good house, and in the afternoon, he led Lu Hanqiang to look at the house as a car.
The house I saw was originally the house of a five-grade official, but because he stood on the wrong team, he was taken down by Jinyiwei and confiscated the family property, and this courtyard fell into the hands of Jinyiwei.
Shopkeeper Zhang dredged up a little through Fu Yin's relationship and sold it to him at a price that Lu Hanqiang could accept.
This small courtyard is located not far from the big fence, across the Yicui Building on two streets, it is really a typical Beijing courtyard, a snow-white courtyard wall, a pair of poodles squatting in front of the two steps, yes, absolutely not mistaken, the two in front of the door are absolutely not the mighty of the lion, but there is the coquettishness of the poodle, a vermilion mottled gate, now open, facing a carved picture of the flower and wealth of the wall.
"Sir, please."
Shopkeeper Zhang made a please, and then walked up to lead the way.
Turning the wall, the eyes can't help but suddenly open up, a boxy courtyard, facing the north and south of the front and back four two-entry main rooms, in the middle is two halls, spacious and transparent, a bedroom on the left, a study on the right.
On the west side of the yard, there is a row of west wings, as a dining room, and a kitchen, a row of wings on the east side, put some sundries, three sides of the room enclose a small courtyard, there is a huge ancient tree on the left side of the yard, the branches are intertwined, the huge canopy almost completely covers the entire yard, it is winter now, the leaves have fallen and the branches are sparse, but you can imagine that in summer, it is what kind of green shade.
A set of quaint stone tables and chairs under the tree has been polished to a bright light, and it is conceivable that the original owner lingered around this table and chair every summer.
After the first main house through the hall, there is a small courtyard behind, it is a small garden, there is a pond water, a small rockery, all kinds of flowers and plants are planted sparsely and scattered, but it is the cold winter season, and no one takes care of it, and it is just a dilapidation.
In the northernmost part of the garden, there is a row of houses, the same as the one in front, also four rooms and two entrances, push the door in, the dust is full, the room is full of tools and baskets, I think it is the residence of the gardener's employees.
Lu Hanqiang came out with his nose covered and looked at the smiling shopkeeper Zhang, "I'm very satisfied, thank you brother for bothering." ” "Sir is polite, you and my brother, how can you say such a foreign thing As long as you are satisfied, I will go through the formalities with the yamen, and then you can move here tomorrow."
"Of course, the sooner the better, I'm really worried about the safety of my mother and younger siblings."
"In that case, I'll go through it now, but I need my husband to give me a signature as a proof."
This certificate, that is, the power of attorney of later generations, Lu Hanqiang immediately issued this in the front hall, and then politely sent the shopkeeper away in a hurry.
Sent away the shopkeeper, with his hands behind his back, leisurely walking in the courtyard that was about to become his own industry, looking at this courtyard that he was very satisfied with, Lu Hanqiang began to plan the layout in his heart.
Now, I finally have a home at the feet of the Son of Heaven in this imperial capital, and if I have a home, it means that I have a firm foothold in this Ming Dynasty.
A living room, which is a must, and having its own separate study, is also a must.
In fact, the so-called study room is just its own independent room, I hope that here, I can recall the knowledge of my original world, and see if some things can be used in this world, although according to the current technology and industrial base, the possibility is not very large, but it is very necessary to leave yourself a space.
I also want to set aside a study room for my younger brother and sister for reading, of course, this also has to hire a master as a Xixi, let my younger brother take the road of career, and let his sister become a talented girl, although, looking at the appearance of the little sister, it is enough to choke, but I have decided that I am not an official, and I don't have the ability to do business, and I want to make good money, save enough bribes for my younger brother to be an official, and prepare a rich dowry for my little sister, so that the old lady can live a comfortable life with peace of mind.
Then the family prepared to run away after more than ten years.
In fact, according to the old lady's opinion, her own Dalang, that is, Lu Hanqiang, can take care of this Xixi, only what Dalang teaches, can be assured by being a mother.
However, this proposal was pushed by Lu Hanqiang to support his family.
The current Lu Hanqiang is no longer the original Lu Hanqiang, and now the knowledge and methods in his head have been too far away from this world and are close to demons.
In this world, it is enough to have one demon, and you must not make three, in that case, you can't say it, and the three brothers may be burned by the entire scholar class as a split.
Let yourself, the demon, protect them well, and let them survive peacefully and happily in this world, this is what you should do. t1706231537:
