Chapter 559: Visiting Friends
Coming out of the old lady's courtyard, Zhu Ping'an remembered that he forgot to mention the matter of moving out of the Hou Mansion to the old lady. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Forget it, wait for Li Shu to come back and discuss, and it's not too late to mention it to the old lady. Now during this time, you can also find a place to live, inquire about the housing prices in the capital, and see whether to buy a small courtyard or rent a small courtyard.
The house price of the Ming Dynasty is not as outrageous as the modern one, the house price of the Ming Dynasty recorded in the history seems to be relatively low, there seems to be a record that Chongzhen thirteen years, Fu Shangzhi, a resident of Zhengyangmen Street in the capital, sold the house, the property is a courtyard, two rooms in the south, one wing room, two rooms in the north, and a courtyard, a total of 33 taels of silver. That is to say, the house price in the capital in a hundred years will be a few dozen taels of silver to buy a set of courtyard houses. In addition, there is also a record of real estate in "Golden Vase Plum", in which Ximenqing bought a four-story house with two façade rooms, and it only cost 120 taels of silver.
Even if there are discrepancies between the two accounts and reality, at least the housing prices in the Ming Dynasty were much cheaper than those in modern times.
Don't rush, take your time.
After returning to Tingyuxuan, Zhu Ping'an took the money bag and put it in his sleeve, divided the pickled cucumbers made by his mother from Xiahe Village into two portions and put them in the small jar, and divided the two smoked rabbits that he was reluctant to eat on the road into two equal gifts.
Zhu Ping'an told the old mother on duty that he was going out to visit friends, and he would not bother preparing meals for himself today, and then he took his things out of the Hou Mansion.
From the words of the concierge when he entered the door, it can be heard that during the time he went home, Zhang Siwei and Wang Shizhen had already returned, and they also came to the Huaihou Mansion to find themselves.
Therefore, Zhu Ping'an went out this time to find the two to get together, and by the way, he brought some family specialties to the two. Now that the 50-day long vacation for the newly promoted Jinshi has not ended, the two of them don't have to go to work when they come to the capital, it is rare that everyone has time, and it is good to get together together, and it is good to learn about the current situation from them.
Since you don't go to work, go directly to their residence, and you can find them nine times out of ten.
The capital is very large, there is a distance from the Linhuai Marquis Mansion to the residence of the two, the walk is too slow, and you have to ride a horse. When the horse ran from Xiahe Village to the capital, it was time to rest, so this time it was to ride a black horse that killed Matt.
Killing Matt's dark horse is much fatter than when he left, and the saddle has been loosened by two buckles compared to usual, listening to the little guy who waits for the stable, this fat horse is not only greedy but also dishonest, he hooks up with the mare everywhere at every opportunity, and also makes Young Master Zhou's most beloved snow treading BMW belly...... Young Master Zhou was angry, if it weren't for his uncle's face, Young Master Zhou would have slaughtered him and eaten meat.
I didn't expect you to be such a horse, should you be castrated, Zhu Ping'an glanced at the black horse that killed Matt with bad intentions, and the dark horse seemed to realize something, and he was unusually obedient on the road, lest he provoke the owner to harm himself and become a waste horse.
The fat horse is light and fur, out of the Hou Mansion, all the way to the east.
The courtyard where Wang Shizhen lived was close to the Linhuai Marquis's Mansion, Zhu Ping'an first went to visit his residence, and after arriving at the courtyard where Wang Shizhen lived, the servant of the guard told Zhu Ping'an that Wang Shizhen had gone to visit friends.
It was estimated that he went to Zhang Siwei's, so Zhu Ping'an then went to Zhang Siwei's residence.
Zhang Siwei's residence is much larger than Wang Shizhen's residence, and it is not much smaller than the Linhuai Marquis Mansion.
I heard Zhang Siwei say that there is also a martial arts training ground in this mansion, and the Jin merchants have a tradition of letting the children of the family stay up, and generally the big family will prepare a martial arts training ground, and the Zhang family's mansion in the capital is no exception.
Zhang Siwei is good at talking about military affairs, in addition to being greatly influenced by his uncle Wang Chonggu, it is estimated that it is not unrelated to this tradition of Jin merchants.
Zhu Ping'an came from modern times, read a lot of military magazines and visited various military forums, and can be regarded as a senior military enthusiast.
Wang Shizhen is not interested in military affairs, and whenever Zhu Ping'an and Zhang Siwei argue, Wang Shizhen always scoffs.
When he arrived at Zhang Siwei's mansion, Zhu Ping'an spread the word, and within a moment, Zhang Siwei greeted him with a long robe and a smile, "Hahaha, Zihou, your kid is back." ”
"Brother Ziwei, don't come unharmed." Zhu Ping'an smiled and arched his hand.
"Come less, go, come and have a drink for my brother's mansion and talk about the wine."
Zhang Siwei shook his head and smiled, took Zhu Ping'an's shoulders and entered the mansion together, and then instructed his subordinates to warm wine and prepare tea, and set up a banquet in the study.
Through chatting with Zhang Siwei, I learned that Wang Shizhen was not here with Zhang Siwei, and this morning Li Panlong, the director of the Criminal Department, presided over the poetry and wine party, and invited Zongchen, Xu Zhongxing, Liang Youyu and others to participate, and Wang Shizhen also went to the meeting. Zhang Siwei had just been working hard in the martial arts training ground, and when he heard that Zhu Ping'an was here, he didn't have time to get dressed, so he came out.
"Why didn't Ziwei go with Wensheng?" Zhu Ping'an asked curiously.
"Master Li pays attention to the Qin and Han dynasties, and the poems must be Han and Tang...... I can't pee with them. Zhang Siwei shook his head and smiled.
"Well, I used to chat with Wensheng and knew that Wensheng had always advocated literary retro, but it coincided with Master Li." Zhu Ping'an nodded.
"Wen Sheng and I originally left the relationship with the Criminal Department, and asked you about the twists and turns, and I also had a relationship with Master Li in the middle, as for Wen Sheng getting acquainted with this Lord Li, it can be regarded as a mistake." Zhang Siwei explained.
"It turned out that it was because of me, Ping An was ashamed, and a letter of folds made Ziwei and Wensheng bother more." Only then did Zhu Ping'an understand the reason why Wang Shizhen and Li Panlong were strong, and he was very moved by Wang Shizhen and Zhang Siwei for a while.
For Li Panlong, Zhu Ping'an also knows that he has a very close relationship with Wang Shizhen in history, Li Panlong is a Jinshi in the 23rd year of Jiajing, seven years earlier than himself and others. In history, Li Panlong successively formed an editorial discussion with Xie Zhen, Wang Shizhen, Zong Chen, Xu Zhongxing, Liang Youyu, Wu Guolun and others, and Wang Shizhen was one of the leaders of the "Later Seven Sons" of Ming Dynasty literature, and was known as "Zonggong Giant".
Wang Shizhen originally went to the Criminal Department to run for her own letter, but she didn't expect to get acquainted with Li Panlong by mistake, and the wheel of history rolled forward, and it was really difficult to change. Come to think of it, the "Later Seven Sons" are about to be on the agenda.
"You and I, let alone each other. If you have something, how can Wen Sheng and I sit idly by. Zhang Siwei shook his head with a smile, and then looked at Zhu Ping'an with a straight face, "Zihou, do you know that your letter has stirred the lake in the capital." (To be continued.) )
