Chapter Ninety-Eight: Lady Pingkang Fanglin

Pingkangfang is an excellent location in Chang'an City, not only because it is close to the imperial city, but because it is close to the imperial city and adjacent to the East Market.

The two cities in the east and west are the most prosperous commercial areas in Chang'an City, as long as there is business in the world, they can be found in these two business districts, because of the geographical location, there are many nobles living in Pingkangfang, there are the prime ministers of the imperial court, there are six Shangshu, and even the princess of the heavenly family.

In addition to these nobles, there are also more than a dozen states in Beijing, including Tongzhou and Huazhou, which are also in Pingkangfang, according to later generations, that is, the local Beijing office.

In addition, there are three songs at the north gate of Pingkangfang, which is a place where prostitutes live, most of these prostitutes are talented women, and many of the top famous prostitutes in Chang'an City live in Pingkangfang, so Pingkangfang will also gather many young scholars, which is extremely prosperous and lively.

Of course, these famous prostitutes are all living in several large brothels in Pingkangfang, which are very different from Lin Jian, the "owner" who has a house in Pingkangfang.

Pingkang Fang is one mile wide and two miles long, and there are two percent of the places in the square occupied by the princess's mansion, and the other places are scattered mansions of some dignitaries and nobles, as well as some places where retail households live.

Even the retail investors who live in Pingkangfang can be regarded as relatively wealthy families in Chang'an City.

The land price of Pingkangfang is extremely expensive, a mansion usually costs 100,000 or even hundreds of thousands, and it may not be able to buy, according to this price, if Lin Zhao can buy a house in Pingkangfang within ten years, then he will probably already get ahead in Chang'an City.

"The east is the East Market, it's hard to travel all the way, and when you go back home to rest for a day, let Erlang take you to the East Market tomorrow."

Walking on the street of Pingkangfang, Lin Yuanda turned his head to Lin Zhao and smiled: "Adjacent to the west is Wubenfang, which is where the Guozijian is located, San Lang will live in my house for a few days, and I will take you to Taixue to report in a few days." ”

Guozijian occupies half of the Wubenfang, covering a huge area, which is much larger than the princess's mansion in Pingkangfang.

Lin Zhao nodded again and again: "It's troublesome Uncle Seven." ”

Lin Jian shook his head, didn't say anything, walked in Pingkangfang for a while, he met a lot of acquaintances, some of them were officials in the imperial court, knowing that he was promoted, he came up and called him "Great Grandmaster" with a smile, and said two congratulations, Lin Jian returned the salute one by one.

About half an hour later, the group arrived at the door of a mansion, and the word Lin Mansion was written on the house.

Lin Zhao glanced at this house left and right, this house is much smaller than the Lin family in Xingwenfang, Yuezhou, but compared to the house that Lin Jian gave him in Yuezhou, it is much larger, I am afraid that there are four or five acres of land before and after, a house of this size, in addition to those heavenly nobles, can be regarded as a mansion in Chang'an City.

Especially in Pingkangfang, there is such a house, Yuan Dagong is already a person in Chang'an.

After arriving at the door of the house, Lin Jian instructed the horse team to move things from the back door, and he led his two sons and Lin Zhao, as well as two other descendants of the Lin family who came to the capital to go to school, and entered the house together.

After entering the door of the house, Lin Yuanda looked left and right, frowned slightly, turned back to his two sons and asked, "Your mother went out to incense again?" ”

In Pingkangfang, there are two temples, and the incense is very good.

His eldest son, Lin Mo, after hearing his father's question, lowered his head and said nothing, but the younger son was bolder, bowed his head and said, "Father, mother, she ...... Most of them were angry with you, so they didn't come out to meet you......"

"Nonsense!"

Lin Yuanda frowned and said: "I don't know the general situation at all, it's just that I don't come out to greet me, the juniors from my hometown are here, how can she, who is an uncle, hide from people?" ”

Speaking of this, he glanced at Lin Zhan: "You go and tell your mother, just say that someone from your hometown is here, let her come out to see her." ”

Lin Zhan nodded hurriedly and ran to the backyard with a smoke.

Lin Jian looked back at Lin Zhao and smiled a little helplessly: "My wife, complaining that I didn't take her back to Yuezhou, and sulked with me, which made San Lang smile." ”

He brought back three descendants of the Lin family from Yuezhou, but he didn't pay attention to the other two on weekdays, and only talked and laughed with Lin Zhaoyou.

Lin Saburo smiled and said, "It seems that Uncle Seven's life in Chang'an is not particularly easy. ”

The status of women in the Great Zhou Dynasty is not low, or the status of the wife is not low, the status of both men and women is generally equal, there are many Zaifu who guide the country in the court, and they have become people who are afraid of the inside when they return home.

Hearing his nephew's teasing, Lin Yuanda shook his head helplessly: "In the future, when you get married, you will know, you have already set a marriage with the girl of the Xie family, and you have a good word for your uncle." ”

Lin Zhao blinked.

"You say."

Yuan Dagong's face became extremely serious, and he said earnestly: "Don't ...... Let your father-in-law buy you a house. ”

After saying this, he showed a sad expression.

"Uncle has suffered a big loss over the years."

Lin Saburo laughed.

"If my father-in-law can also buy a house with me in Pingkangfang, I will admit the loss......"

When the uncle and nephew were talking, Lin Zhan led a beautiful woman who was only in her thirties and walked over from outside, Lin Zhao and other juniors of the Lin family hurriedly got up and saluted this woman.

"My nephew has seen my uncle."

The woman stepped forward and helped the three of them up with a pleasant face, and then a smile appeared on her face: "There are some things in the backyard just now, and I didn't have time to greet you, so I was neglected." ”

Her tone was gentle, and she used the authentic Yuezhou dialect.

Lin Zhao was slightly surprised, as far as he knew, his uncle didn't seem to be from Yuezhou.

Although he has been married to Lin Jian for many years, he does not live in Yuezhou after all, and it is not easy to speak Yuezhou like this.

After Mrs. Lin said this, she waved her hand again, and asked the maid next to her to bring a plate, on which were three pieces of gold cakes, about more than ten taels, Mrs. Lin smiled gently, and said: "When I first arrived in Chang'an, you have pocket money for all this money, and let my son lead you tomorrow to buy some things in Dongshi." ”

Lin Yuanda, who was on the side, stood up from the chair and walked in front of everyone, he first glanced at the three pieces of gold, and then said to his wife: "Lin Yilin Xi's money should be given, but San Lang's money should not be given." ”

He looked at the piece of gold and coughed, "He's a rich man, maybe he's richer than our family." ”

Lin Zhao has an industry in Yuezhou, and he previously got Li Xu's 5,000 yuan, and there is still most of it left, so he can indeed be regarded as a rich man.

Before he finished speaking, Lin Zhao had already put the piece of gold cake in front of him into his sleeve, and then bowed his head to Mrs. Lin in a proper manner: "Thank you, uncle." ”

He looked up at Mrs. Lin and smiled: "Uncle was born so young, I thought that Uncle Seventh had found a young concubine again." ”

Mrs. Lin smiled at Lin Zhao: "You are San Lang, right?" My lord mentioned you to me in my letter. ”

She smiled gently, and asked, "What's the matter, did your seventh uncle find a young concubine in Yuezhou?" ”

Hearing this, Yuan Dagong's face suddenly changed greatly.

Lin Saburo turned his head and looked at Lin Jian with a smile.

"Seventh uncle, my uncle asked, how should I answer?"
