Chapter Ninety-Seven: Are Housing Prices Expensive Here?

Lin Jian has been in the capital for more than ten years, and he has actually taught many people, which means that he has a lot of students, but there are only two students who can know exactly when he will return to Chang'an.

And among these two people, one of them can't leave the palace easily, and the one who can wait for him at the gate of the city for a morning is only one Li Xu, the son of the Song Dynasty.

The carriage of the Lin family stopped, Lin Jian, his two sons and Lin Zhao stepped out of the carriage and walked over to meet the young man, Lin Yuanda bowed slightly: "Your Highness." ”

Lin Jian's three juniors all stood behind him and saluted this distinguished young man: "I've seen Your Highness." ”

Li Xu held the disciple salute, bowed to Lin Jian, and then said with a smile: "Congratulations to Master Lin, after nearly two years, I finally have to return to Chang'an and take charge of Chinese studies." ”

Lin Jian shook his head and said: "I am originally from Yuezhou, and it is a happy event to return to my homeland, but it is not worth congratulating on going to a dangerous place like Chang'an." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Li Xu and said softly, "Thank you Your Highness for doing my best in the capital." ”

"Master Lin is too polite."

Li Xu also sighed and said: "Master Lin was originally a cadre of the country, but it was because of our two uncompetitive students that he was forced to leave Beijing, and later he almost died in Yuezhou. ”

"Now that Master Lin has returned to Beijing safely, our brothers feel a little more comfortable."

Speaking of this, King Song Shizi said in a low voice: "I didn't expect that those thieves would be so bold that Master Lin was frightened. ”

Lin Jian shook his head.

"It's all my life, and I can't blame anyone else."

After the two of them said a few words, Li Xu saw Lin Zhao behind Lin Jian, he smiled at Lin Zhao, and said: "When I first met Brother Lin in Yuezhou, I had a premonition in my heart that one day I would see Brother Lin in Chang'an, and now Brother Lin, you have really come to Chang'an." ”

Lin Zhao took a step forward and bowed: "Your Highness makes fun of it, Xiaomin just went to Beijing to study..."

"Don't be too outward."

His Royal Highness the Prince was very approachable, and smiled at Lin Zhao and said: "I am a disciple of Master Lin, we are considered brothers, there is no need to be so born, Master Lin is in charge of Chinese studies, and he will be busy in the future, I will be different, I am an idle person, if Brother Lin has any difficulties in Chang'an City in the future, you might as well come to the Song Palace, if you can help my brother, you must help." ”

Lin Saburo nodded hurriedly: "Thank you, Your Highness." ”

Of course, this sentence can only be heard as a polite sentence, Mo said that Lin Zhao would not really go to the Song Palace, and even if he did, he might not be able to meet His Royal Highness.

However, seeing that Lin Zhao and Li Xu were able to talk, the two brothers standing behind Lin Jian couldn't help but look at this brother of the same clan from his hometown a little differently.

After everyone was polite for a while, Li Xu got to the point, he turned to Lin Jian and said: "Originally, I wanted to set up a table of banquets to catch Master Lin's wind, but when Master Lin first arrived in the capital, I thought that I should go home to take a look, so I won't be difficult." ”

Speaking of this, he lowered his voice and said, "But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince may not have seen Master Lin for a long time, and he misses it very much, after Master Lin returns to Beijing, he will have to go to the East Palace." ”

Lin Jian nodded and agreed, "Naturally, I should go, but before that, I have to go to meet Saint Shane." ”

was reinstated by the imperial court and promoted to an official, and the first thing he did after returning to Beijing was naturally to kowtow to the emperor and thank him.

"It's nature."

Li Xu said with a straight face: "After Master Lin sees His Majesty, just take the time to go to the East Palace." ”

After he said a few words to Lin Jian, he entered the city with the Lin family, and after entering the city, he didn't take a few steps, and His Royal Highness the prince said goodbye to Lin Jian: "Master Lin has a family reunion today, and the students will not bother, and when Master Lin is busy with the official affairs of the court, the students will find a place to invite Master Lin to drink." ”

"His Royal Highness has a heart."

The two men parted.

Lin Jian stood in place, watching Li Xu leave, and did not speak for a long time.

Lin Zhao was behind him, wanting to say something, but he shook his head, and still didn't open his mouth.

At this time, Lin Zhao was already standing in Chang'an City.

Their group entered the city from the East City Gate, and the street in front of them at this time was not the main street of Chang'an, it was about ten zhang wide, even if it was not the main street, compared to the streets in Yuezhou City, it could already be said to be spacious and abnormal.

It was noon at this time, and it was time for dinner, but there were still many people running back and forth on the street, and at a glance, you could occasionally see some Hu people, hooking their shoulders and appearing on the street.

Sometimes, you can even see some ...... Black and swarthy men, these black men in Chang'an, generally make a living by carrying goods and do some manual work.

Seeing Lin Zhaodong looking around, Lin Yuanda on the side smiled and said, "Is San Lang looking at Chang'an with a novelty?" ”

Lin Zhao nodded.

"It's really the most prosperous in the world, far better than our Yuezhou."

"I think Yuezhou is cleaner."

Horses are not allowed to be ridden in the city, but you can take a carriage, but in order to take Lin Zhao to see Chang'an City, Lin Jian at this time was also on foot, and he said as he walked: "There are too many people here. ”

"The more people there are, the more complicated things will be, the harder they will be to see, and the more dangerous they will be."

Yuan Dagong shook his head and sighed, and walked in front with great strides.

Lin Zhao followed behind him, looking left and right on the street, like a countryman who had just entered the city.

It's not that he hasn't seen the world, but he has also seen a city of millions of people in later generations, and he has also seen a city of tens of millions of people, but he is very curious about this legendary Chang'an City, so he looks around.

At this time, although it is daytime, there are occasionally shopkeepers or public servants patrolling the streets, and there are still a lot of Hu people on the street, who are fiddling with monkeys or snakes.

Lin Zhao secretly sighed.

The capital is the capital, and the entertainment industry is much better than Yuezhou City, but the entertainment methods of these people are relatively simple.

It was noon, there were not many people on the street, and it was not too crowded, and after walking in Chang'an City for half an hour, the group followed Lin Jian to the door of a fang.

Lin Zhao looked up and saw the three big characters "Pingkangfang".

Lin Jian glanced back at his nephew, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "San Lang, within ten years, you can buy a house here, it's your ability." ”

Lin Zhao was stunned and asked, "Uncle Seven, is the house price here very expensive?" ”

"House Price ......"

Lin Jian first thought about the meaning of this word, and then nodded slightly: "So to speak, but there are not many people who have moved here, and it is difficult for outsiders to live in." ”

This means that if you have money, you don't necessarily have to live in it.

Lin Zhao nodded thoughtfully and asked, "Then how did you live in, Uncle Seven?" ”

He took two steps closer to Lin Jian, lowered his voice and asked, "You...... Embezzled? ”

Yuan Dagong's face darkened.

“…… Don't talk nonsense. ”

He walked into the door of Pingkangfang, also lowered his voice, turned back to Lin Zhao and said, "It's my father-in-law who is rich." ”
