Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Mansion
Xidan archway is a four-pillar three-room cupola wooden archway standing on Xidan Street.
Because there is only one single archway, the place is called "West Single Archway", and in the Kyoto of God, in addition to the single archway, there are four archways.
In Jia Qiang's previous life, the old archway here has long been demolished, although a colorful gold medal building was later rebuilt, but it is still not a small difference with the ancient archway in front of me.
The plaque of the archway is written with the word "Zhanyun", which is opposite to the "sun" of the Dongdan archway, which means to see the sunrise in the east and look at the colorful clouds in the west.
The street where it is located is the main intersection leading to Guang'anmen in the southwest of the capital, and the business travelers and goods from the southwest provinces by land must enter the outer city Guang'anmen from the east of the Lugou Bridge, enter the inner city Xuanwu Gate to the north through the Caishikou, and then enter the inner city through Xidan.
In the peaceful and prosperous times, there were many tourists, so some shops, wine shops, and restaurants were opened in the Xidan area to entertain passing tourists.
The procurement of Dali Temple, Taifu Temple, Taichang Temple, Criminal Department, Metropolitan Procuratorate, Luan Yiwei and other government offices near West Chang'an Street is also mainly based on Xidan, and it is becoming more and more prosperous here.
But it's also expensive.
In Xixie Street, which is some distance away from Xidan Archway, Jia Qiang and Xue Pan went around for a long time, and finally saw Feng Ziying and Jiang Yuhan.
Most of the streets in Shenjing City are due south, north, east and west, and there are very few diagonal streets.
The few diagonal streets are mostly the streets formed by the river in the past, along the direction of the ancient river.
Xiejie Street is one of them.
The water of the Jinshui River has long been cut off, the river has dried up and been filled, only a few bends in the alley, can vaguely see the appearance of the original river, which is rare in the Shenjing City of Duanfang.
"How is it here? After turning 800 bends, I almost turned confused! ”
Xue Pan complained.
Feng Ziying said with a smile: "Brother Qiang'er requires a good place, it has to be quiet, and it has to consider the price of the location, it is not easy to find this place." I trusted a lot of friends, but none of them were suitable, I never thought that Qi Guan had found it here, and everything was suitable. ”
Jia Qiang looked at Jiang Yuhan, although he knew that the water of this famous singer was very deep, and behind him stood the opponent of the Jia family, Prince Zhongshun's Mansion.
It's just that, with Jia Qiang's current weak connection with the Jia family, he doesn't have the noble character to worry about those who are still drunk and dreaming of death.
Moreover, even if the Zhongshun Royal Mansion wants to involve him in the future, it is better to know yourself and your opponent at this moment than to be blind.
Seeing Jia Qiang looking over, Jiang Yuhan smiled lightly, full of drama, and said softly: "I also entrusted an old benefactor to get the house here." It was originally the house of a Zhenguo general, with three entrances before and after, a total of fifty or sixty rooms, and a garden. If you want to make our guild hall, it's enough. Let's go in and have a look? ”
A group of people entered, the three gatehouses were tall, but the paint was a little old, but it was still difficult to hide the grandeur of the family.
After entering the door, I saw a wall shadow wall, a hand-copying verandah, a rockery, a hanging flower door, a vestibule and a back house, a kitchen and a stable.
What's even more rare is that there is actually a stage in the East Road Courtyard.
Jiang Yuhan said with a smile: "The original proprietor here is a fan of drama, and he built a troupe at home, so he left here. If it's in the way, just dismantle it. ”
Jia Qiang shook her head and smiled: "What to do after demolition, you don't have to." There are always people who like to listen to dramas, and they don't need to build them anymore. Qi Guan, how much is this house worth at the market price? ”
Jiang Yuhan was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled: "The second master wants to use it, not to mention that I am also one of the owners of the hall." ”
Jia Qiang paused, but still said bluntly: "Get acquainted, although the intersection is shallow, I think that getting along with each other is still valued by sincerity, so I will say some things directly." If you can always be your own master, we will take advantage of this advantage, and find it to make up for you elsewhere, this is the long-term way. I'm afraid that you will inevitably encounter a time when you can't help yourself, and at that time, it will be difficult for the clan to advance and retreat. Therefore, it is best to take over at the market price. ”
Jiang Yuhan's complexion changed abruptly at first, but then slowly returned to normal, a pair of peach blossom eyes glanced at Jia Qiang fascinated, and then looked at a jujube tree not far away, and said softly: "What the second master said is very true, I was a lowly person who couldn't help myself, and I didn't deserve to have fellowship with you......"
didn't wait for Jia Qiang and the others to argue anything, but he waved his hand and smiled: "Complaining a few words, just for hypocrisy, it's not that I don't know what to do." Since the second master said the honest words from the bottom of his heart, then sell this mansion to the second master. The market price is about 4,000 taels of silver, even if it is 4,000 taels. ”
Jia Qiang looked at Feng Ziying and said, "Is it really four thousand taels?" It should be more than that, right? ”
Feng Ziying didn't say anything, Jiang Yuhan hurriedly said: "The second master doesn't believe me? ”
Feng Ziying also smiled: "This place is indeed much cheaper than other alleys, the north and south are more expensive, and the diagonal street always gives people a feeling that it is not square, so the officials rarely like it here, and would rather spend an extra two thousand taels to find another place." ”
But what he didn't say was that more than four thousand taels was not a quasi-number, four thousand nine hundred taels was more than four thousand taels, and four thousand and one taels was also more than four thousand taels.
Even if it is oblique here, it is only a few streets away from the imperial city, and the surrounding area cleverly avoids the nobility of the original royal mansion, which is a rare place to quiet in the middle of the noisy, and the house price will not be too cheap.
Jia Qiang didn't know what to do, nodded and said, "Okay, then four thousand taels is good." ”
Jiang Yuhan laughed when he heard this, he was already singing Tsing Yi Xiaodan, and there was a lot of affection between his eyebrows and eyes, this smile was like a peach blossom blooming, and he actually compared most women in the world.
Feng Ziying's eyes were appreciative, Xue Panzhu's brother was revealed, but Jia Qiang shivered coldly, and stayed away in her heart.
As if seeing Jia Qiang's attitude, Jiang Yuhan sighed in his heart, took out a paper deed from his pocket, looked at Jia Qiang and said sincerely: "If the second master still looks up to me and doesn't like to be friends with Youling, please accept this deed first." I also picked up the room yesterday, and it's clean inside. ”
When Jia Qiang heard this, she felt overwhelmed, and looked at Jiang Yuhan helplessly and said, "Qiguan, I have never despised you, let alone despised you. Who doesn't want to be born rich? Who doesn't want to be perfect? It's just that there are many things that we can't decide on our own. But in any case, as long as our own hearts are clean and pure, we are clean, and you don't get me wrong about what I think of you, although I am not very comfortable with being too close to men, but I still treat you as friends. ”
Jiang Yuhan lightly shed two lines of tears when he heard this, opened and closed a pair of peach blossom eyes, nodded and said, "If I can say this, I will be worth it." ”
Jia Qiang said with a smile: "Don't you say that, I will send the silver in three days at most, and I won't ask for your house with a word, so what's the matter?" ”
Feng Ziying and Xue Pan watched it very interestingly from the sidelines, and laughed.
Even Xue Pan, who is the most foul-mouthed on weekdays, didn't say anything at the moment, because he could also see that Jia Qiang's meaning was indeed pure, and in his opinion, it was rare.
Jiang Yuhan may have something, but Jia Qiang's attitude is clear and outspoken, and that little bit has become nothing.
Pure friends, in fact, not bad.
It's just that Xue Pan was curious: "Brother Qiang, even if the barbecue really earns silver, it can't be a family business that can earn four thousand taels of silver in less than a month, right?" ”
Jia Qiang waved his hand and said, "I don't collect money from that transaction anymore, there is another way, but I don't have to worry." ”
Seeing that he didn't seem to be arrogant, the others didn't say anything more, and revisited the Sanjin Mansion together, and listened to Jia Qiang talk about some unheard of interesting plans......
