The Li family also stayed in the north for a few days, and he also had an impression of the East Road, West Road, Middle Road, etc., and Wen Fang couldn't help but say: "This Liu family is really rich!" Such a big house, accounting for most of the alleys, is probably one of the best in the capital, right? ”

Biyu smiled and stood aside and replied, "Then how can it! It's just that the house on the west road belongs to Lord Liu, the house on the middle road is the original Guanglu Temple Lord Li, and the house on the east road is the waiter of the Hanlin Academy, Zeng Da - Zeng is a native of Anxi, Fujian, and is the largest tea merchant in Fujian, and it is said that four or five out of ten tea gardens in Fujian are their family. ”

Explain why Zeng Daren, a scholar-in-waiting, has such a big house.

Li Shi gasped when he listened.

The Zeng family is only a house the size of the road here, but Master Chi Si bought three houses of similar size and adjacent to each other in one go, which is not only possible with money!

Biyu seemed to see her speech, and continued with a smile: "It took a lot of effort for the fourth master of our family to purchase this house. I wanted to buy a random building next to Xinglin Hutong, but later I felt that it was too close to the eldest master and the second master, and I was afraid of being detained by the eldest or second master, so I bought the house on the other side of Yuqian Hutong. Thinking that in my spare time, I could go to see the second old lady. Who knows that the house on the other side of Yuqian Hutong is left and right, and the neighbors are unwilling to sell. You have also been to Jiuru Lane, the entire alley belongs to the Cheng family, where are the four elders used to it!

It just so happened that Lord Liu lived in Huai'an for a few days and didn't want to go back to his hometown Jiangxi, so he decided to settle in Yangzhou. There are mostly salt merchants in Yangzhou, and it is not easy to buy a satisfactory house, so I want to buy a house in the capital. It's just that the asking price is too high, and I haven't been looking for a suitable buyer. Our four masters have dealt with Lord Liu in the past, and he knows that our four masters want to find a better house in the capital, so he sent the steward to take the initiative to come to the door, and the four masters of our family are also satisfied, but they are still too small. That Lord Liu has also lived here for more than ten years, and he is in the same department as Lord Li next door, so he came forward to persuade Lord Li to buy the house to the fourth master.

"That's how it happened. Then the lord gave office, and the house was empty. With the Zeng family's financial resources, they don't care about raising an empty house. A nephew of Lord Zeng is going to come to the country to study, and the Zeng family is ready to give him this house to live in. Who knew that the son of the Zeng family was a strange person, and when he saw a peach tree living outside the Zeng Academy, the peach blossoms were scorching and shining, and he was very disliked. As everyone knows, the peach tree was planted when Zeng entered Beijing and was studying in Guozijian. It is said that it did not bloom for three years, and in the year of flowering, Zeng was admitted to the Jinshi. Zeng has always regarded it as ominous. If Zeng Gongzi wants to cut down his peach tree, won't he kill him?

In a fit of rage, he drove the Zeng son out. I invited the flower farmers in Fengtai to move the peach tree back to my hometown in Fujian.

"The flower farmers in Fengtai came and went, and no one dared to take over this hand.

"There is no way for Lord Zeng.

"I am afraid that the Zeng family who lived in after his death will not listen to his persuasion and cut down this tree, and I am afraid that this tree will be connected with the rise and fall of the Zeng family, and someone will beat the idea of this tree and harm his descendants.

"Our fourth master used to deal with the Zeng family when he was doing business before. Zeng overheard that the fourth master was going to buy a big house, and the fourth master of our family was also born in the two lists, and he was the younger brother of the big man before he was established, so he took the initiative to find it, and asked the fourth master to promise that he would not cut down this peach tree in his life, so he sold the house to the fourth master cheaply.

"It's really dozing off, and someone will give you a pillow. The fourth master of our family was thinking that it was still a bit small to buy the houses of these two families, so Lord Zeng came to the door.

The fourth master promised on the spot that not only would he not cut down this peach tree, but he would also send someone to take good care of this peach tree.

"Lord Zeng is very happy, and sold the house to the fourth master at a price two percent cheaper than the market price."

"The fourth master is really lucky!" Li Shi listened with relish and said, "Is that peach still on the East Road?" Can you take a look? ”

Biyu's responsibility is to entertain the Li family well, and when she heard this, she hurriedly said: "As long as my wife wants to see it!" So do you go to see the peach blossom first or go boating first? ”

"I've been to see the peach blossoms and then go boating." Li smiled, "Peach blossoms are floating things, and the world thinks they are frivolous." It's the first time I've heard of Peach Blossom Town. ”

Zhou Shaojin was worried about Cheng Chi's silver, and she said: "Uncle Chi spent a lot of money to buy the mansions of the Li family and the Liu family, right?" ”

Jasper's eyes flickered.

She didn't expect Zhou Shaojin to be obedient and obedient, but she found that it cost a lot of money to buy the houses of the Li family and the Liu family.

It's just that it's hard to say this, and he said a little vaguely: "I didn't spend too much silver." You also saw that the flowers, trees, and onions cages on the Liu family's side, and the pool of living water in the garden were brought from here. The main hall of the Li family is very magnificent, all of them are pillars made of hundred-year-old trees, and it will be fine to live for a few generations. It's a good deal! ”

"But this house is too big, if you want to sell it, I'm afraid few people can afford it." Zhou Shaojin sighed.

In case Uncle Chi really wants to set up his own door, such a big house, ordinary people can't afford it, it is not easy to cash in, and he has to raise a lot of maids and maids to clean, which costs a lot of money.

It's still a good house in Yuqian Hutong!

"Since it's sold, I won't buy it!" Biyu smiled, "Jiuru Lane is not short of these money. ”

Only then did the Li family feel that the Cheng family was really rich!

Even the Zeng family, a tea merchant who occupies four or five out of ten in Fujian, cannot be compared with the Cheng family.

No wonder the people of Jinling mentioned that the Cheng family of Jiuru Lane is the first, they are the first in Jinling!

Li smiled and praised Biyu and said: "I didn't expect that not long after you came to the capital, you have already talked about the families in the capital. ”

Biyu said with a smile: "This is also what I usually listen to a lot around Mrs. Guo, and with a little pointer from Steward Qin, I will know which one is which." ”

She accompanied Li and Zhou Shaojin to the East Road to see the peach blossoms, but her mouth was not idle, and she said with a smile: "The alley we live in is called Sitiao Hutong, which is the best location on this side of Chaoyangmen." Haining Gu's house in the capital is in six alleys, separated by two alleys, very close. The Yuan family's house in the capital of Tongxiang is in an alley, a little farther away than the Gu family, but it can only be reached in a quarter of an hour. But the Peng family, where the third aunt and grandmother married, is a little far away from us, and it used to take three quarters of an hour to take the carriage, but everyone who went around and around was around here...... The Fang family in Shucheng is also in an alley, but the Yuan family is at the end of the alley, and the Fang family is at the end of the alley; The Li family in Lujiang lives in three alleys, just in front of our house, but it is not as big as our house, and it is a five-entry house......"

She spoke eloquently, clearly and clearly.

When Li heard this, he admired Mrs. Guo who was far away in Jinling!

It's just the maid around her, who has been guided by her old man for a few years, and has to see it in this way, that is, the patriarch of ordinary people's presiding over the feed, but I am afraid that she does not have the talent of jasper.

It's no wonder that many rich families like to marry big girls released by big families.

Zhou Shaojin didn't hear the same emotion as Li's.

Biyu said that Uncle Chi asked the two of them to come over for her sake, if Biyu didn't have such talent, she just liked it, and Uncle Chi was afraid that he wouldn't call the two of them over...... However, the jade beside Mrs. Guo is also very powerful...... Thinking about it this way, it seems that this matter really has something to do with her.

Zhou Shaojin took advantage of the fact that Li was holding Zhou Youjin and looking at the peach tree, and quietly asked Biyu: "What is Uncle Chi doing?" ”

Biyu also replied to her quietly: "The second master is here!" ”

"Second master?!" Zhou Shaojin's eyes widened.

Her mind went blank.

Biyu reminded her: "It's the second master of Wei." The brother of the fourth master! ”

Of course Zhou Shaojin knows this person, but she has been a human being for two lives, and she has no impression of this person!

Biyu thought for a while and said, "It seems that I came here for the matter of Jinling." ”

It's so strict!

Zhou Shaojin frowned, seeing Cheng Chi's desire and hope even stronger.

This is not a good time, though.

She said to Biyu, "I want to meet Uncle Chi, can I do it?" ”

Biyu smiled: "I'll go to the study later!" ”

Zhou Shaojin put his mind at ease and went to Li's side with a smile with Biyu.

The peach tree, which was regarded as auspicious by Tsang, is no more than the thickness of a wine cup, surrounded by a knee-length fence, and the branches and leaves are very leafy, and although the flowering season has passed, you can still imagine the blooming scene.

Everyone felt that there was nothing special about this tree, and after looking at it for a while, they lost their interest and went boating by the lake.

Zhou Shaojin had never been interested in these, and he was worried about the news of Jasper, so he sat in the water pavilion and watched Li take Youjin to play in the lake with Youjin by the boat lady who was open to water.

Xiao Tan fanned Zhou Shaojin on the side, and said with a smile: "It would be better if there were more lotus flowers in the lake." ”

The small lake on the west side of the road and the big lake here are connected together, the small lake is full of lotus leaves, and the lotus flowers have shown sharp corners, but the big lake here is only shining with a gurgling silver water, and it looks a little hot.

Zhou Shaojin said with a smile: "Presumably there is the old scene of the Liu family, and here is a newly opened lake!" ”

Xiao Tan smiled: "These two lakes, one big and one small, are also quite interesting. Don't know what it's called? ”

The little maid next to her smiled: "I haven't chosen a name yet!" Steward Qin said that he would wait a while. ”

Xiao Tan said: "When I come back tomorrow, it will definitely be full of lotus." ”

The little maid smiled and said, "Steward Qin said that water lilies will be planted in the small lake in the future, and lotus flowers will be planted in the big lake in the future." But whether it's true or not, you have to ask Steward Qin to know. ”

Talking to the little maid about this, which Qin is in charge?

Looks like Qin Ziping......

Didn't Uncle Chi say that Ji Hotaru would come to the capital? Why is there no news until now?

Zhou Shaojin smiled: "What is the name of Steward Qin?" ”

The little maid shook her head and said, "The slave doesn't know." ”

Zhou Shaojin smiled.

Biyu hurriedly walked in and said, "Second Cousin, Second Master Wei is gone." The fourth master was alone in the study...... There was no one to serve! ”

Aren't you happy?

Zhou Shaojin's heart hung up, and he stood up and said, "Let's go, go and have a look!" ”
