Chapter 537: Buying a New House on the Qinhuai River

Moreover, there is no guilt in providing Zuo Ling's prescriptions, although these prescriptions are strictly forbidden to be passed on, but there is also a family rule, passing on the son to the daughter-in-law not to the daughter. Pen Δ Fun ΔΔ Pavilion Δ.

Although Zuo Ling is not his daughter-in-law, but the little prince shouted in public in Nanjing, saying that Zuo Ling is his junior brother's woman, and he knows that it is over, at least in Jiangnan, no one dares to propose to Zuo Ling anymore, no one dares to marry if she wants to marry, who has nothing to do to touch the mold of Zhongshan Wangfu.

Besides, I figured out later, the little prince shouted this voice is not only unconscious, but also has ulterior motives, she wants to add fuel to the fire between the situation and Zuo Ling, he still does not give up, thinking that if he has a deep relationship with Zuo Ling, maybe the marriage with Pomegranate will change, and he may still have a chance.

Zuo Ling doesn't want to marry in Jiangnan in this life, even if he returns to Fengyang, which is also under the jurisdiction of Zhongshan Palace.

Therefore, Zuo Ling is not his daughter-in-law, but he has become "his woman" because of the voice of the little prince, and he has to be responsible for the rest of his life, unless Zuo Ling marries far away from the Tiangao Emperor.

Of course, this is not the main reason for the prescription provided to Zuo Ling, without these things, he will also give it, but with these will eliminate the guilt in his heart.

At that time, the only things that had the same status as the holy decree among the people were family rules and clan laws, and the family rules were greater than the heavens. In society, it is the rules of conduct. These are all higher than the status of the Ming law.

In the imperial era, people had a consensus: the three-foot law can be violated, and the family law cannot be violated. The three-foot law is the letter of the law. If you violate the law of the land and follow the procedures, you may be able to save your life, but if you violate the family law, the clan rules, and the rules of conduct, then it will be miserable.

After entering the city, Sisi, Qiu Xiang, and Wen Bin went to the Zhou family's house in Nanjing, and the Yun family came to act as the bride's messenger, and the others followed Tang Bohu to visit the river-view house he purchased.

The river-view house that Tang Bohu bought was not far from the Confucius Temple, and he had passed there when he traveled with Xiao Wang Ye and Zuo Ling, which was a rich area.

In addition to the wealthy, most of the people who buy and build houses here are property investors, and locals rarely buy properties here. Business people from all over the country buy and build houses here for those who come to Nanjing to study and participate in the township examination. For the students, there is no red sleeves to add fragrance at night, there are lights on the painting boat as a companion, and there are moving songs from the painting boat, which is also a pleasing thing for the eyes.

If you want to say that you can't study with peace of mind, those lifters will come up with 10,000 reasons to smash on your head.

Wealthy people buy houses here, some to enjoy the scenery here in spring and autumn, some to buy houses here under a pseudonym to support women, and gentry from other places also like to buy houses here for these two reasons.

But one of the most prominent points here is that this area has the strongest cultural and artistic atmosphere, because calligraphers and painters also like to gather here, enjoy the beautiful scenery and beauties to find creative inspiration, and can also meet many wealthy people to sell paintings and calligraphy.

The river-view house that Tang Bohu bought is not big, and the main building is a small and exquisite two-story building, where he and Qiu Xiang live. There are two rows of side rooms on the left and right, for the housekeeper of the mother-in-law. The outer house has his study, bedroom, guest room and servant's wing, and the warehouse and stable are naturally there, whether you have horses at home or not, the stable is standard, just like today's garage.

It sounds like a lot of rooms, but if it is not big, it is far less than his home in Suzhou, and it is not as large as his home area.

But the housing prices here are high, and almost every inch of land is expensive. Half of the cost of this house was paid by him, and the other half used Qiu Xiang's dowry, which is also Qiu Xiang's meaning, and financial independence should start from the beginning.

The new room is full of the fragrance of books, each room is full of calligraphy and paintings, and there are all kinds of antiques on the mahogany table, some are real and some imitations, and it is really difficult to distinguish if you are not an expert.

Tang Bohu was very interested, he really wanted to be the lover who married his wife for the first time, and his face shone with a light that a martyr had finally realized his ideals.

Marrying Qiu Xiang this time, he was willing to take a big risk, the Yun family was quite kind, and offered to let him declare a concubine to the outside world, and the marriage book was written to marry a wife, although it cost the Yun family a little face, but it left him enough leeway, and Qiu Xiang finally agreed to make concessions.

Tang Bohu was very grateful in his heart, and he was the most ruthless when he said it, according to his meaning, he had to announce that he would marry a wife, and then he would be directly pushed to the cusp. He looked at it now, and his heart trembled a little, where is this handsome and elegant, charitable-hearted person, he is simply a big bad wolf.

After admiring the new house, everyone browsed room by room, and they were full of praise, Shen Zhou immediately announced that he would buy the house next to him in the next two days and be a neighbor with Tang Bohu.

Shen Zhou is usually low-key, and he is not generous, in fact, the money is much more than Tang Bohu, although Tang Bohu earns a lot of silver, most of it is thrown into a mess.

"Brother Zhengming, there is still a vacant room over there, why don't you come to one?" and said to Wen Zhengming with a smile.

"In a few days, if you all move over, I'll have to come too. Wen Zhengming was also a little tempted after reading it.

"Zhengming, come over too, when it's okay, let's rent a painting boat, boat and wander on the river, drink and do poetry and painting, isn't it a fairy day?" Tang Bohu strongly instigated.

"I don't have as much money as you have, so I have to think of getting some silver. Wen Zhengming said lightly.

Calligraphers have always been less rich than painters, and paintings are more expensive than calligraphy, unless you are a person like Su Shi and Huang Tingjian, it is really difficult for literati to rely on calligraphy alone to support their families.

Wen Zhengming is also a celebrity, but he is still some distance away from everyone, and his fame is not as big as Tang Bohu, so he can't compare with him.

"Brother Zhengming, if it's because of the silver, I can provide it, even if I buy your calligraphy in the future, I can buy a deposit for as much as I need. "Besides, I see the stitches.

"You want to buy my words?" Wen Zhengming was stunned.

"Of course, the more the merrier. And Brother Shen, if you have a painting to sell, just look for me, the market price. Besides, he laughed.

Zhou Dingcheng looked at him and wanted to say something, but closed his mouth.

"You can't blackmail you to start buying? I'll tell you, I've been blackmailed by this kid to the point where I'm about to sell my underwear. Tang Bohu complained.

"Hey, a little conscience, okay, I blackmailed you a lot. Besides.

"What do you want so many calligraphy and paintings for?" Shen Zhou wondered.

"Can't you collect?" said with a smile.

"It's strange to believe you, Lao Shen, if you sell calligraphy and paintings to him, the price will be increased by one percent, otherwise if you don't sell it, you will have to earn back the money we were extorted before. Tang Bohu complained.

"Okay, no problem, improve one percent, I want as much as I want. "Besides, I readily agreed.

"You have so much silver? I haven't heard that you make money practicing medicine, they all say that you have lost a lot, where did you get so much silver?" Tang Bohu was a little stunned.

"How can I make money to tell you, if you are short of silver, you can sell calligraphy and paintings to me, and the market price is also increased by 10%. "Besides, I don't have a good airway.

"Don't promise him yet, it's hard to say what the hell he came up with. Tang Bohu was a little stunned.

"Hey, it's funny, what tricks can you use to buy your calligraphy and paintings? You get real money, and I won't fool you with Daming treasure money. "Besides, he is righteous.

Besides, I have long wanted to open an auction house in Nanjing, but it is inconvenient to be in Suzhou, and now that people have come to Nanjing, you can prepare for this matter, of course, you must first buy some famous calligraphy and paintings, the authentic works of the ancients are too expensive, and the risk of buying them back and selling them is too great, Tang Bohu, Wen Zhengming, and Shen Zhou's calligraphy and painting prices are still hovering in the median, and they are the most profitable to buy.

First use the calligraphy and paintings of these three people to make some fame, and then expand the project, what millennium old ginseng, human-shaped He Wu and other good medicines, all kinds of antiques can also be auctioned, so as to maximize the benefits.

Tang Bohu, Shen Zhou, and Wen Zhengming mainly bought their calligraphy and paintings by several familiar calligraphy and painting shops in Nanjing, and the prices were not high, and the profits were made by calligraphy and painting merchants.

All three of them were artists, and they didn't like the smell of copper, and they didn't bother to worry about the price with the merchants, and the price was actually very low.

"Okay, I'll go back and see how much calligraphy I have in hand, sell it to you when I go back, and then buy a house here." Wen Zhengming thinks this is a good thing.

"Okay, I'll give you five thousand taels of silver as a deposit in two days. "Besides, I replied.

The house here is generally 3,000 taels of silver, and 5,000 taels can't even be used for furniture, which is enough for a year's living expenses.

Shen Zhou said slowly: "Then give me five thousand taels." ”

Besides, he smiled: "No problem, give it with Zhengming." ”

Tang Bohu came up and smiled: "What about me?"

"Your credit limit with me is 10,000 taels, and I can give it to you at any time. "And a bold offer.

Wen Zhengming frowned and said, "Why is he twice as much as me?"

Besides, he smiled: "He was blackmailed by me the most." ”

Everyone laughed, besides, everyone knew about extorting Tang Bohu's entrance fee, and Shen Zhou didn't dare to follow Tang Bohu to the door of Besides's house after being frightened, it became everyone's talking point.

"You have a bit of a conscience. But where did you get all this silver to dig up a gold mine?"

Tang Bohu was really surprised, he couldn't imagine that with so much silver in his hand, this guy was reluctant to even buy a ring, an old coachman worked part-time as a janitor, and often rubbed other people's cars.

"If you have money to pay you, why do you care so much?" said impatiently.

"It can't be blackmail, right?" Tang Bohu suddenly realized.

Besides, he laughed, his money was really not extorted, but someone else went on the pole and even knelt down to beg him to accept it, of course, he wouldn't believe it.

He didn't use the moon silver given to him by the Marquis's Mansion now, and Mrs. Tai gave him 20,000 taels of silver for his own money, and he used it to marry his daughter-in-law, but he also left it in the mansion and didn't move.

The deposit he wants to pay to these three people this time is still the filial piety of the previous Seven Kills and Los Angeles Shuangjiao, his usual living expenses are very low, and the family is just him and Xiao Nier, plus Mother Liu and Uncle Ji, it doesn't cost much money a year, and those silver tickets and gold leaves have not moved, not to mention jewelry.

The compensation for practicing medicine is not much, and the medicinal materials in the later period are all supplied by Zuo Ling, which is naturally the price of family affection.
