Chapter 156: Arriving in Kaifeng, Hong Feng met
The dawn of dawn lifts the light veil of night, spits out the brilliant morning light, and ushers in a new day.
The city gate of Kaifeng Mansion was opened, and the people and merchants who had been waiting outside the city gate for a long time consciously lined up in order, and walked into the city after being inspected next to each other.
"What the hell. ”
"Doctor. ”
"Carrying something. ”
"Food, and medicine. ”
"Let's go inside. ”
After Ouyang Feng passed the inspection, he walked into the first city in the world.
At the foot is a ten-zhang wide bluestone paved street, and most of the shops on both sides have been opened, including inns, restaurants, tooth shops, grocery stores, pawnshops, money houses, etc.
From afar, at the end of this street is the resplendent Royal Palace.
This was built so that the messengers could reach the palace as quickly as possible after entering the city.
Pedestrians consciously walked on both sides of the road, with donkey carts and horse-drawn carts coming and going.
Several convoys entering the city, at the fourth entrance, turn to the right, where it should be some kind of fang market or something.
The Immortal Sutra, that is, the legend that the Nine Yin True Scripture is stored in the Great Song Dynasty Palace, is passed down from generation to generation by the ancestors of the White Camel Villa.
But the palace was directly in front of Ouyang Feng at the moment, and Ouyang Feng suddenly didn't know what to do.
You can't force your way in broad daylight, it's no different from looking for death.
Ouyang Feng walked aimlessly on the side of the street, thinking about a strategy in his heart.
In the branch of Yongyun Tooth Store on the side of the road, Hong Qi was sitting at the counter checking the accounts.
The more I flipped through the account books, the more I frowned, "Wang Er, the business of the tooth store has been sluggish recently." ”
Wang Er, the shopkeeper of the sub-shop, sighed and said: "Lord Hongruo, the price of the Kaifeng house has risen for more than ten years, and many people have bought several or even dozens of houses, and they would rather be empty, and sell them at a good price when the price is high."
But since last year, the price has been falling, and everyone wants to sell it as soon as possible.
But buyers want to buy more at a lower price.
As a result, the business of the dental store is not easy to do.
Those high-ranking officials and nobles, who can afford to buy a house, have no place to live.
There is no house to live in, even if the price is reduced, he still can't afford it. ”
When Hong Qi heard this, he nodded and said, "You can see it clearly." ”
Immediately, his eyes glanced over the street, and he spotted Ouyang Feng from the crowd at a glance.
"Business is coming. Hong Qi stood up and pointed to Ouyang Feng's position.
Shopkeeper Wang Er looked at him and said puzzledly: "Looking at his face, he is from the Western Regions, his clothes are dirty, so unkempt, can he have money to buy a house?"
Hong Qi said patiently: "The people from the Western Regions who came to the Great Song Dynasty either came to play, or they were merchants who traveled south and north.
Both of these are rich people.
And this one should be here to play.
Think about it, the Western Regions is thousands of miles here, even if you walk on foot, how much does it cost to spend all the way.
You look at his neck again, and the little piece of red rope that is exposed.
In my years of experience, it was the red rope of the pendant.
Though his robe was full of dust and dirt, the material of his robe was fine silk.
On his round hat, too, is genuine mink fur.
You must know that many children of rich families like to pretend to be poor, what is it called, it is called experiencing life.
Besides, this person has gone all the way, and if he doesn't pretend to be poor, isn't that causing trouble. ”
"Hey, Lord Hong Helm is really high, Wang admires it, so I'll go and recommend our house to the guest. Wang Er slapped his ass without a trace.
Hong Qi stretched out his hand to stop Wang Er, "No need, anyway, there is nothing to do today, let me go in person and learn a little." ”
With that, a professional smile appeared on his face, and he strode towards Ouyang Feng in the crowd.
"Brother, please stay. ”
Hong Qi's voice came from behind him, Ouyang Feng turned around when he heard this, looked at it, and said suspiciously: "This brother Tai called me." ”
"That's right, dare to ask Brother Taigui's surname, whether it is the first time to come to Kaifeng. Hong Qi asked.
"Ouyang Feng, it's the first time I've come. Ouyang Feng was concise and didn't like nonsense.
Hong Qi smiled slightly and said, "In Xia Hong Qi, is Brother Feng confused about your current situation?" ”
Ouyang Feng thought about it, and did feel a little confused about taking the Nine Yin True Scripture, and then nodded.
Hong Qi said with a low face: "Hey, when Hong first came to Kaifeng Mansion, he was the same as Brother Feng, and he felt that the Kaifeng Mansion was incompatible with him, and he always felt that something was missing."
It wasn't until later that Hong knew what was missing. ”
Wang Er, who pretended to be a pedestrian next to him, shouted in his heart, and the trick of the master of Hong Helm was just right, not only narrowing the distance between him and the guests, but also setting up suspense and arousing the curiosity of the guests.
"What's missing. Ouyang Feng really got on the trap and said curiously.
Hong Qi's eyes became slightly deep, and he spit out a word softly: "Home." ”
Ouyang Feng was a little confused, and replied to Hong Qi: "There is a home in Xia, in the White Camel Villa in Xiliao." ”
"Brother Feng's parents are still alive. ”
Ouyang Feng's eyes were slightly gloomy.
Hong Qi continued: "If your parents are here, your home is there. If the parents are gone, the original home is not a home.
Brother Feng's marriage or not. ”
Ouyang Feng shook his head calmly.
Hong Qi was secretly happy in his heart, and muttered: "A manly husband should start a family.
To start a family is to marry a wife.
But if you want to get married, you have to have a house.
Otherwise, a girl from a family would be willing to marry you. ”
Ouyang Feng didn't react, Hong Qixin said, doesn't this guy like women.
Then he continued: "Unfilial piety is great, Brother Feng thinks about your future son......"
Ouyang Feng's eyes became envious, and there was a trace of memory.
Doesn't this person from the Western Regions already have a son, right?
Hong Qi's eyes became meaningful when he looked at Ouyang Feng, "As long as you buy a house in Kaifeng, you can have a household registration in Kaifeng, and in the future, Brother Feng's son will be able to study in the famous Kaifeng Quanzhen Private School."
The most important thing is that the Quanzhen private school is all the children of high-ranking officials and nobles.
Where this child grows up is the most important thing.
Brother Feng, there is a saying among the people, all roads lead to Kaifeng, and some people are born in Kaifeng, you know. ”
"I ...... I'm going to buy a house, where to buy it. Ouyang Feng replied with a ghostly envoy.
"That's the right question, Hong knows a lot of houses to sell, Brother Feng, please come with me. ”
Hong Qi said that, and led Ouyang Feng to Yue'an Fang.
"I don't know what price Brother Feng wants to buy. Hong Qi seemed to ask casually while chatting all the way.
When Ouyang Feng heard this, he took out a money bag from his pocket, poured all the silver coins into his hand, and began to count.
"Ahem. ”
The smile on Hong Qi's face stiffened slightly, "Brother Feng, this is Kaifeng, the dignified capital of the Song Dynasty, and the money is a little far away." ”
"Yes...... I only have this money. When Ouyang Feng heard this, he stopped counting the money and replied honestly.
"It doesn't matter if you don't have money, Brother Feng has anything valuable, you can also mortgage it to me, and when Brother Feng has money, redeem it." Hong Qi stared at Ouyang Feng's neck and said meaningfully.
"Valuable things ......" Ouyang Feng looked dazed, then followed Hong Qi's gaze, looked down, and suddenly realized.
"This thing must be very valuable, Brother Hong, take a look. ”
Hurriedly took off the jade pendant of the Quanzhen Ancestor on his neck.
"This is an elder sent, said that it is made of Dongying's evil jade, this jade pendant is not only engraved with the true ancestor, but also by some real person, which is priceless. Ouyang Feng introduced the jade pendant to himself.
didn't see Hong Qi's face become extremely embarrassed.
This jade pendant, Hong Qi is more familiar than anyone else.
The materials are bought by themselves, the portraits are carved by themselves, and the light is blown out by themselves......
Wronged, forget it, find him the worst house, and it will be regarded as compensation.
"Brother Feng, by all means, since this jade pendant was given by the elders, how can it be taken out as a mortgage. Hong Qiyi said in a positive manner.
When Ouyang Feng heard this, it seemed to be this reason, thought about it again, and said to Hong Qi: "Brother Hong's words are reasonable, this thing cannot be mortgaged."
It's better to do this, Brother Hong give me the money, and if you don't take the jade pendant, it won't be considered a mortgage.
When I have money, I will return the money to you, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds? ”
The corners of Hong Qi's eyes twitched, "Brother Feng, in fact, Hong also wants to help Brother Feng generously."
It's a pity that I am really shy and unable to do it.
It's better to change to a cheaper house, let's settle for it first, and when Brother Feng has money, we can buy a big one, how about it. ”
"That's fine. Ouyang Feng nodded and hung the jade pendant back around his neck.
The two then went to a dilapidated courtyard on the outskirts of the city.
The courtyard has obviously not been visited for a long time, and it is overgrown with weeds.
The house was so dilapidated that the door was gone, and it was covered in cobwebs and had a hole in the roof.
"Brother Feng, Kaifeng can be said to be an inch of land, and your money is much worse to buy this house.
But the two of us hit it off at first sight, and for the rest, Hong will just paste it for you. ”
Hong Qi said as he pressed the fallen window back on.
"Wouldn't it suck. ”
It was the first time Ouyang Feng had seen such a dilapidated house.
Hong Qi shook his head and said, "Brother Feng, this place only needs to be cleaned up, it's still very good."
You must know that a son is not ugly for his mother, a dog is not for being poor, and a person cannot be afraid of a broken house.
This is not just a house, this is your home.
You have to make your home better, not disgusted with it. ”
"Brother Hong's words are reasonable, come, this is money, by the way, Brother Hong will also take these foods. Ouyang Feng happily handed over the money bag to Hong Qi, and by the way, took out a lump of meat wrapped in paper from the box on his back.
"Eh, how can I ask for such a valuable gift, Brother Feng should keep it for himself. ”
Hong Qi took the money bag and pushed back the lump of unknown things by the way.
"Brother Hong is really magnificent. Ouyang Feng thanked him from the bottom of his heart.
Suddenly, Hong Qi held his forehead and whispered, "Hey, it hurts." ”
"Brother Hong has a headache, the younger brother is proficient in medicine, let the younger brother show you." "Ouyang Feng is enthusiastic about the intestines.
"No, it's an old problem, it's cold, and when the wind blows, my head hurts.
The doctor said that all he needed was a hat, and when he went out just now, he forgot his hat. Hong Qi covered his forehead with an uncomfortable expression.
"Brother Hong, you can take this hat and wear it, it's dirty, don't dislike it. ”
Hong Qi immediately snatched the hat and put it on his head, "This was given to me by Brother Feng, how could Hong dislike it."
Thank you Brother Feng, Hong still has some things to do, the green mountains will not change, the green water will flow forever, we will meet again. ”
"Brother Hong, go slowly. ”
Ouyang Feng stood at the door, watching Hong Qi walk away, and suddenly muttered, "Did I just say that I would give him a hat?"
Shaking his head, he didn't think so much about it anymore, rolled up his sleeves, and began to clean up his own ...... Family.
"This kid is like the eldest brother, he has no heart. ”
A few miles away, a middle-aged monk lay on a dense branch, looked at Ouyang Feng, who was beginning to pull weeds in the courtyard, and said softly.
